Is chrome laggy for everyone?

Got my brand new AT&T Note Pro this week and am really happy with it. The only performance hiccup I've noticed though, is scrolling in Chrome is really laggy. Any suggestions for improving it? Also, are there any other good browsers you guys are using?

Never mind, right after I posted this I remembered I had turned on the data saver feature in Chrome. Turning that off made all the difference.

...annnnnnd never mind my previous never mind. Still laggy. Dolphin much snappier, but I don't like the way it scrolls, it always seems to coast an inch or two past where I want it to stop.

I never use Chrome, since it has no plugin support. (Adblock&Flash).
You could try Firefox. Though I prefer Dolphin; never encountered scroll issues. Did you try changing Scrolling Speed under settings>advanced?

Yeah, it didn't seem to make a difference... but then again I only used it for about 30 minutes. I'll give it a longer try tonight. Are you using Firefox?

I find Chrome beta is currently a little smoother than the current Chrome app.
Also, in chrome://flags I usually up the max tiles of interest setting to 512.

I used to, but it won't allow me to sort my bookmarks into folders. Which isn't an issue if you have 10-20, but I have 430. Dolphin does. (And has more functionality).

Overall speed

Would you say that the Google Pixel 2 XL is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Google Pixel 2 XL exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Blazing fast phone. Scrolling is buttery smooth, with none of the lag from the bad old Samsung Touchwiz days. I am coming from Nexus 6P, which was no slouch, but this one is super fast.

fastest, smoothest phone
We have two Pixel 2's and also my Pixel 2 XL -- these are spectacularly fast and smooth -- lag free.

Faster than a speeding bullet ? or greased lightening

Super fast! Love it!

Fastest android phone to date i love it, come from the Nexus 6P and One plus 3T which i still own but the pixel xl 2 is just superior.

Super smooth and fast.. esp with animations set to .5s in developer options!!

Has anyone else noticed a sudden perfomance boost as of today? Not only does my 2XL feel much more snappy, also battery life seems to have increased a lot! The phone has never been a slouch to begin with, I don't know why but the little frame drops I have felt since the beginning of owning the phone are completely eliminated . It's like having a new phone I have to say and it feels so relieving haha. I kind of can rule out an app causing the phone to drop frames since I factory resetted it so many times by now and running with basically no apps. I have no idea which update caused to boost my Pixel but I'm so happy haha
Edit: Even my Nexus 6P feels much snappier, lol

Hi, it's not just you I have the same Feeling today and surprise I go to development options and I don't know how but I found animations speed set to 0.5x I certainly did not change anything myself.

Same, it feels like it's been getting better overall since the November update. Or at least more consistent if nothing else. I'm definitely happy about it!

I see people bring that up a lot, I haven't noticed much of problem. But I also don't heavily multi-task. Tbh I'm also not sure I know exactly what people are experiencing...

The main point is that when I use the camera application, most of my background applications are stopped. Spotify stops playing music, accubattery resets statistics and most applications when recalling them from the last open list loads as if they were first opened.

I have app refreshes but I've never had something in the background like Google Play Music or YouTube close out on me. Although, I literally never take pictures while having either in the background and I do know the camera uses a lot of RAM especially when rendering somthing like a portrait photo.

Wow that's actually pretty terrible, I don't think I've ever experienced it that bad. But I did just test what you said with the camera and it's definitely clearing some ram from my other apps but they are reloading back to where I left off which is probably why I've never noticed it, but music didn't stop for me.

I bet it does have mostly to do with all the features the app has, it probably needs all the ram it can get now.

I agree, I was pretty surprised when I seen they finally tried to sort it out. Tho it took long enough... We will see how it feels in the long term.

Yeah only took people complaining about it on the Pixel 3 and 3 XL for them to want to deal with it. [emoji2359]

Jittery/laggy scrolling

Hi, I just got a OP6 on Friday and it really is an amazing device, but no matter what app I'm in, I get extremely stuttery/jittery scrolling. It happens in Settings, Chrome, XDA, basically anything that has a list or scrolls. Is there any way to fix this? I'm on OxygenOS 5.1.9, I've tried rooting and installing kernels and I keep having the same problem. Is this a known issue? Because it's kinda ridiculous to pay over $500 for a phone that scrolls worse than my 2 year old pixel. So if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

try doing a cache clean or fresh install because this isn't normal and it should run smooth like mine does.

I've done a full install from fastboot, but I'll wipe cache and see if that helps, thank you.

I noticed it as well.
Franco Kernel helped a bit, especially using Pixel launcher (which is buttery smooth on the Pixel 2)
But the phone isn't as smooth as a Pixel 2 or iPhone X in terms of scrolling inside apps or even launcher.
It shows some frame drops regardless if rooted or not. Seen the same on another OP6 (mine has 128gb his has 64gb).
Clearing cache probably won't help.
Here's to hope the Android P update helps.
And use Samsung Browser instead of Chrome.
Way smoother

I really hope the Android p update helps. On 8.1 my pixel was laggy, kinda similar to the OP6, but after P, it's the smoothest phone I've ever had, definitely hopeful. I'll see about Franco kernel, I'll try it after work, thanks for the suggestion!

maybe its because i never owned a pixel that i cant see the jitter but i came from a galaxy with touchwiz so i think this oneplus is butterly smooth

Definitely agree also seeing jittery scrolling, custom kernels do help a bit but it's still there.
My 120hz iPad Pro is to blame, everything else seems really bad now!

Yh, you definitely have to see it in relation to other devices. Me coming from Touchwiz devices, the phone feels amazing, but knowing how buttery smooth an iPhone X is or Pixel 2 was, it's not that amazing anymore.

Has anyone tried any AOSP or LOS based ROMs that remedy this?

I have tried 3 custom roms and they are all worse than OOS in my experience for smoothness and scrolling lag.

I thought it weas just me but I notice the jittery when scrolling slowly in chrome or the android central app. Its not bad, but noticeable.

Test

This has been present in every OnePlus device since the 3/3T. It's an Oxygen OS issue.
But it's good that more people are finally noticing it, as there's a chance that it'll be fixed... You'll just have to pay for the OnePlus 7 to get that fix
Even a Samsung S8 has smoother scrolling sadly. It's quite annoying. Using a different browser isn't a solution, as I rely a lot on Chrome anyway, but it also runs smoothly on many Android One devices such as the Nokia 7 Plus.
The P beta had the same poor scrolling performance, but hopefully they at least try to fix it for the final version. It's the least smooth device I've used in the last 2 years, but also the fastest... So you can kinda see where their priorities lie. They'd take an extra 0.049ms faster app opening time over 60fps scrolling.

Hi all, I came from a series of Xiaomi Phones (Redmi, MiMax etc.) - and I find the scrolling very smooth. Maybe just some devices have this problem? I have hovewer jittery backlight when in night mode (see my other post) which is bothering me quite a bit

I remembered this being a hot topic before. Wasn't the "solution" to set the CPU governor to be Conservative instead?

Apparently not anymore because that made it a bit worse lol. Considering selling the device because it's kinda ridiculous to have top specs and such poor scrolling performance.

I'm having no scrolling problems... And I had the pixel 2 XL and that **** was laggy.

Same problem here, been jittery since day one for me, and I got mine as soon as it released. Was thinking about returning it, but then decided that it was probably due to my over-sensitive eyes. The smoothest rom that I have tried was OmniRom. It's actually a decent rom, but single touch responsiveness was bad for me. I would sometimes have to touch the screen a few times just for the touch to register. Right now I'm using franco kernel in performance mode with fsync disabled on RiCE 4.4 and it's a little better.

Came around with these settings while using profile gpu rendering:
Dynamic Stune Boost 1
GPU governor: cpufreq
What that basically does is boosting the CPU slightly more while touch input and kinda syncing gpu boost with the now higher CPU boost.
According to the Profile GPU overlay the stutters are greatly reduced, especially in lawnchair Launcher (App drawer animation) and Facebook.
All using Franco kernel V4
Worst kernel I've tried was Smurf kernel with some extreme frame drops.

Isn't scrolling supposed to be super smooth on this device?

I'm finding that more often than not, outside of the core UI, the phone stutters like crazy when scrolling. It doesn't feel 90 Hz. It doesn't feel smooth at all. It basically feels like my old poco f1 which was a pretty poor scrolling experience.
This is on stock OOS 10.3.3.
Can I do something about this? It's really annoying because I don't believe this should be happening. See the video for reference.

Try forcing 90Hz,maybe it will make a difference.Or use AutoHz app

90Hz is selected and I already tried manually selecting the resolution as well (switching from auto). Still crappy scrolling almost everywhere except for the OS.

Touch input lag

I was reading the OP8T reddit posts and one of them mentioned a general touch input lag while scrolling. Is this something anyone here has experienced. It sounds like something that would be irritating and I'm wondering if it's widespread. https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePlus8T/comments/jmngbm/general_touch_lag_all_around_the_system/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

The main reason I'm unfortunately returning mine. It's very fast with opening apps and what not but scrolling is very much lackluster compared to the 7Pro for example

Same. Probably better after some more updates or roms for those who are experiencing it

I will say that scrolling in apps seems significantly slower than on my pixel 2 xl, which is odd given the fact that everything else on the oneplus 8t blows the 2XL out of the water. On my phone, it doesn't feel like any sort of a touch lag issue, but more like the operating system has just throttled scrolling speeds for some reason.

That's very well said. It's not really a lag but scrolling isn't as fast/smooth.
You think this is something that can be fixed via software or are we screwed?

Yeah so I just received my OP8T.. Twitter and longer web pages definitely feel less snappy or fast for scrolling. Slight jankiness at the beginning when starting to scroll. Not crazy but the scrolling speed is noticeably slower than my wife's 7T. Hopefully a software fix.

"However, other notables include improvement to the thermals based upon power consumption, some display touch latency and mis-touch tweaks, status bar UI fixes, and a resolution for a problem whereby some people were unable to install apps from the Play Store."
