Jittery/laggy scrolling - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

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.

Desire Z or Nexus S??

Should I trade in my Desire Z for the Nexus S?
I'm mostly after browser speed and everyday performance
What happened to the nexus sense port? I had a galaxy S before and it was always slower to the original desire but with ginger on the NS it just might do the trick.
Are you guys satisfied with the NS especially coming from other android devices?
If browsing speed is your priority, I would suggest you wait a bit. Currently the stock browser is rather laggy.
Laggy even with overclock, custom roms (cyanogen, nscollab and infinity) ?
Does cyanogen have the auto text reflow function?
I use my Nexus S since 3 months. It's fabulous.
Choose the right ROM and Kernel! It will be smoothest!
Great experience during 2 days without any charge or FC.
GNS is a very nice device. Buy GNS and flash CM, then enjoy)
Nexus S all the way. Desire Z is old news. I'd rather choose Desire S
Personally it was a bad idea to ask for an advice in a nexus s forum . lol.
anyway, a fair answer for me would be, there is no big deal of a difference between the 2 phones. If you were to buy one of these, then i would have said nexus s but since you already possess the dz, then no need to make the change. speedwise they are the same. the difference maybe comes from the gpu but you said you are only for browsing experience. i think you should stick to the dz until you get something better.
you do have amazing devs back there... i am sure finding a good custom rom is not a problem.
Just 3 hours ago, SuperAOSP Rom created by SUPERTAMEL, has changed the whole browser system
No more lagging issue, just pure enjoyment of browsing
I guess, you come to Nexus S in the right time
Development on the Desire Z has pretty much stalled with the keyboard being the biggest limitation. Even the Desire has better roms for gingerbread. I've owned a SGS before and the browser was indeed a little slow so I should expect performance to be on par to that. The SGS wasn't that bad but I switched to the Z mainly because of the LED flash which is very important to me as a flashlight
What ever happened to the NS sense port? I was looking at some vids over at youtube and they looked really smooth with some minor issues and non working features but nevertheless usable! Was the 0.3 build the one that caused the problem with the IMEI? What exactly happened?
What's the difference in real life performance between SuperAOSP, INfinity and Cyan?
Netarchy is the best kernal option available right? In layman's terms, what does proton voltage do and how do I know what settings to use?
Thanks for helping a NS noobie

Well, sadly that Samsung has put the most important file "EFS" at a very insecure place. And, we never realise that until we find that Nexus Sense has "wiped" the whole EFS data too, making all the IMEI number being the same
So far everyone is trying to get it fix, not a single news yet, but soon
What's the difference in real life performance between SuperAOSP, INfinity and Cyan?

SUperAOSP, is the rom created with extra setting known as SupSetup
Infinity is created by Jonathan Griggs where he is very keen in ANdroid and added lots of different features.
Cyan 7 is the nightly build where different bugs and fixes are keep updated and fixed.
Kang's Cyan is the lighter and better version of Cyan 7.
Muiu is the Iphone version of Android (Use this rom if you like iOS interface)
Netarchy is the best kernal option available right? In layman's terms, what does proton voltage do and how do I know what settings to use?

Netarchy or Trinity. Both are equally good.
Both has OC and UV kernel.
Proton voltage let you customize the voltage you wanna set for each frequency and it's only usable for Netarchy kernel.
No one is a noob, everyone is equal
I come from a desire and i am very much dissapointed in the browsing experience of this phone. It's not hardware accelerated so rendering flash content or bigger images is a pain. If your only looking for that, better stick with the desire z. I've tried all roms btw and I always end up using opera mobile.

So no real difference in performance between cm7, kangs, infinity and superaosp except preference? What's the best rom for me if I need BLN and vibrate on call answer?
How do I know the best settings for photon? Or can I just use default?
Finally got my phone and this thing is wicked fast! I've never experienced a phone out of the box this good! Screen is yellowish as usual though Speakerphone volume is excellent as well!
Browser seems to be very good, not super fluid but good enough. Not as stuttery as my old SGS. Mighty tempted not to flash a custom rom because it's already very good!
Cm7 is recommended, it will change the experience totally and it has text reflow after zoom. I personally use the nightlies a lot but it's up to you, they might be laggy sometimes.

Use SUPERAOSP rom and use the browser, you will NEVER EVER COMPLAINT again
Thanks for the help guys really really big help I really really appreciate it!
The browser on superaosp is much smoother but I encountered some instances wherein it just would not scroll the page even after swiping the screen multiple times. Perhaps it's the way I swiped the screen? switching to my left hand which was holding the phone made it much better.
BLN and vibrate on answer working perfectly!

Great that you like your Nexus S very much
We're all waiting for Nexus 3 to come out,
which is most likely to be LG Optimus XXXX
And, welcome to Nexus S
i prefer to go to Nexus S because it's the google son and you will see a great support

Im using Nexus S (from Globe) and I'm happy with it. I installed 2.3.4 the first day I got it.
The stock browser ain't bad actually, but I use Dolphin HD browser.

Im pretty satisfied with this phone at the moment, with my headphones on this thing can produce way better audio than any HTC phone I have tried. Bass is booming and vocals are rich.
My only quip is the battery which never reaches 100 percent like my old SGS. A calibration should do the trick..I hope.

[Q] Why is my HOXL so laggy? (ViperXL 2.20)

Hey guys,
My HOXL is currently running ViperXL 2.20, the Beast Mode Kernel at 1.8ghz and -25mv undervolting, sweep2wake and sweep2unlock enabled, as well as aznrice's audio mods. (VooDoo Mode). I'm using the SIO scaler and the smartassv2 governor, occasionally intellidemand.
The thing dun lags. It's slow, unresponsive, choppy. It seems as though my free ram gets eaten up rather quickly, but I get general lag even when it's empty. I don't use any task killers either, I let android take care of that part.
I get wake lag, homescreen lag (Apex Launcher Pro), lag when launching apps, lag while scrolling through apps, just lag. My quadrant is great, in the upper 5000 range, but that doesn't reflect real world performance at all.
It seems as though the lag comes and goes. One minute it'll be fine and fairly responsive, and the next minute it won't. It's usually the latter though. I've tried clean flashing the rom, no success.
What could be wrong here? I played with the HOX+ at AT&T today and I loved it, but I'm reluctant to buy it because of the T3's horrendous DAC. I was even thinking of just going for a Galaxy Note II, and I hate Samsung.
Thanks in advance.
Buy a new phone when you mess yours up?..where have I read this before......?hmm..I do not get any lag whatsoever on viper. Have you even tried reflashing,changing back to stock,factory reset etc.. are you past your 30 Days...by the way new phones come out every month literally so their will always be one faster. You just seem like the person who switches phones because the phone you have you caused the problems...

Not quite. The HOXL's measly 16gb of memory is killing me, otherwise I love the phone. I'm just in the position to sell the HOXL for double what I paid, get a new phone using someone else's line (because they don't want to upgrade...lol) and profit The only reason I'm not jumping into this decision is because I'd like to see what comes in the next few months. 64gb is awesome though. I got my HOXL on launch day, so I'm way past the 30 day window. I do realize that phones will just become faster, but I'm not too big on the lag I'm seeing here that often makes the phone unusable. It's pretty bad dude.
I've tried reflashing, factory reset numerous times, nothing. Initially, the phone will be snappy as usual, but over the course of a couple of days the lag just comes back. Then again, I was comparing ICS to the smoothness of JB on the HOX+. This lag I'm getting is just something I haven't seen happen before. What kernel are you using? Governor, etc? OC/UV?
Viper has been pretty zippy for me lately...avoid restore system apps...if you're reporting this after a couple hours of usage...wait a couple days and than report back

I only restore my user apps and data, never the system stuff. This is after a week or two of usage, I started using Viper when it was on 1.2.4 a little while ago. The incremental updates did speed it up a bit, but my phone seems to be "choking" to get things done.
Trust me you'll see another jaw dripping HTC released around April I say it even sooner so if you can wait with your one xl you'll have a very good phone.... The one x+ does seem very tempting though

That's why I'm holding off a bit lol. I'm assuming that in the near future, Android will match up to/efficiently use the hardware being delivered, essentially becoming synergistic.
Using viper xl with the total opposite of your experience man, try to flash the elemental kernel. Im using it with noop.scheduler and intellidemand governor with UC to 1,3ghz and it has NEVER, for real,been lagged once

I would not buy anything new right now. Wait until we get a GSM version of the Droid DNA, which makes the One X+ look outdated already.
I was considering that, I really wish att had the DNA.

Have you ever been satisfied with the responsiveness of the phone on a stock rom or was it always choppy as you feel it is now?
When it was bone dry stock, it was quick and responsive, felt like JB even. Not so much anymore though.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
i found at&t stock, debloating it myself with some minor mods to be faster then most of the sense roms i've tried
Hmm i had a bit of lag on viper xl 1.x series then i went cm10 to dirty rom had no speed issues on the aosp side just a bit more battery drain compared to the sense roms but my multitasking is more realistic on the aosp side imo. I would say try cleanrom always loved it for closer to bare bones experience.
Me too
I've experienced the exact same issue, although mine ran fine for the first week or so, and then started taking a ****. Stock stays fast, Viper after the first week or two regardless of kernel and cpu speed starts to lag. I've tried CM10 which speed wise is fine (buggy as all hell for me though, no offence CM dev's.. you need more time/source) and doesn't seem to slow down. So far I've flashed CleanRom and IMO it's night and day compared to Viper. Maybe try that?

Scrolling smoothness

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the OnePlus 2 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".

It's pretty finicky. Apps like 9gag are very smooth but Instagram is laggy. It had always been the other way around on other phones for me.

Its generally very smooth throughout different apps. Any lags is due to the loading of new content, which is probably why you see stutters in apps like Facebook, Instagram, and what not.
Also how is your phone set up? Running AK Kernel greatly improves overall UI fluidity as well.

Everything stock. I wanted to try AK but I'm a bit sceptical about fast charge it has, won't it wear down the phone faster? Have you tried Boeffa or sandy kernel? Do they have good scrolling too?

I tried AK and boeffla only, so I dunno about Sandy. But it honestly the scrolling cant be any worse than the stock kernel. The fast charging can be disabled (In fact I think its disabled by default) and since OxygenOS 2.1.1 users have reported that the default charging speed is already faster than before.
AK Kernel also unlocks all the cores of the Snapdragon 810 so you should also see better performance in games. Best of all you'll probably get better battery life out of your phone as well.
I have to agree that the new update (2.1.2) + AK kernel make the phone feel perfect for me. I am really enjoying it now and I have absolutely no more issues (home button, lag, etc.).

Lags and stutters :| not horribly though! it's like console compared to a PC (iPhone and others being a PC ok maybe more like 144hz compared to 30-60fps )
I am also interested why every android while using data lags.
With chrome browser things are a bit better. Defenetly the stutter is there but not as persistant as it is on the stock internet explorer.
As a mobile dev in a first phase I thought it was caused by the app I was working on, but I can definitely say that this stuttering is actually a system-wide issue with the S8
It's probably related to the Samsung's Android ROM; I'd love to hear feedback from ppl with custom ROMs, I'm quite confident they don't have this kind of issue.
No scroll stutter in anything except facebook app and playstore which forced me to actually use facebook via chrome and the problem was solved. I have disabled a whole bunch of services and other apps and it helped quite much.
A tip for chrome users is to enable data saver built in option and use adblock. Ads these days are one of the main causes of stutter in web browsing.

Not every Android. Stock Android does not lag at all. Try a Pixel for a day and report back.
Sammy just has way to much bloat on top of Android. Even 6 gigs on the Note 8 cant fix the occasional lag.

Pixel does lag as well when using data in background. I've tested it. Just ios change priority to higher when on the top and giving less priority to network access to make UI smoother.

We were talking about Pixel nature Pixel in first place, did we? I don't know pixel2 and oreo. Maybe you're right. I was comparing my girlfriend's pixel 1 with my s8 couple months ago. PXL definitely better than s8+ but not buttery smooth. Do you own one? Make a video with profile gpu rendering On.

Scroll Speed/Acceleration

I'm coming from a oneplus 6t and the scroll Speed and acceleration on the 8t is slow, I need to swipe many times to get it to go at all and still I feel it's slow
This is in all apps I use basically, is it just me experiencing this?
Anything I can change to make it faster?
Thanks
No you're not the only one. I mentioned it in another thread titled touch lag input I think, or touch input lag, something like that. But yeah, it takes like two or three swipe ups to get to the bottom of a page, like Google feed for example, whereas my pixel 2 XL is like one swipe, boom, done.
I scoured through settings trying to find some setting to do with scrolling speeds or the like, but I was never able to find anything.
There was some talk of touch issues, I think, as being fixed and one of the latest updates, but I'm on the latest update, and scrolling speeds are still slow.
I'm not sure if this is the right term or not, but it's seems to be to do with fling velocity or something like that. In my Google Discovery feed for example, with one swipe of my thumb on my pixel 2 xl, I may be able to scroll through let's say 30 articles. On my OnePlus 8T, the same flick using the same finger at the same strength, more or less, may only scroll through like 20 articles, and it scrolls through them at a slower speed.
I have also tried dropping the refresh rate down to 60 hertz to see if that made any difference, but the issue persists.

Same here. And I still have my 6t. There is a noticeable difference. Fling velocity is different
I installed nolimits 12.4 and used the config file and there's an option for scrolling and stuff use that. That plus forced 120hz on mine and everything is uber smooth

Oneplus probably wanted to magnify the 120hz scrolling experience to the users.
And to hide the microstuttering too probably? But I can still see it though.

Lots of microstuttering across the chrome and search apps and twitter as well.
It's seriously slower and not as smooth as the OP8. That one was so fast I had to relearn how to scroll. It required very light touch and you could flick it up/down at 90 miles an hour. My OP8t feels like a 2 year old phone. Very slow and requires alot more pressure.

Link Please!? Also I wonder if turning on the Touch Sensitivity would fix this as I'm noticing a big difference from the 8T and an upcoming device.

I also noticed that. Coming from a Pixel 5 which has super smooth kinetic scrolling the scrolling behavior on the OP8T doesn't feel right.
Seems like it doesn't pick up with the speed of your finger and always scrolls the same speed. The gradations are not sufficient.
Maybe it has something to do with the 240 hz touch sampling rate?
Feels very odd though. I was using a OP7 Pro a while ago and this doesn't seem to have that issue.
I'm having the opposite problem on my T-Mobile 8T.
Some apps like Chrome scroll correctly. A little fling goes the distance I expect it to, and more importantly, slows down at the correct speed.
However, apps like Telegram and Instagram are messed up. The same fling makes it scroll much faster, and not only that, it doesn't slow at the correct speed. It seems to have no friction for a time and scrolls at the same speed for a bit before actually slowing down. I literally need to re-learn how to scroll in these apps.
This is a ROM thing, as done custom ROMs for my old 5T and 7T used to have this problem. Not sure which repos they borrowed from but it sucked when a ROM had this issue. It seems OxygenOS 11 suffers the same fate. Very disappointed.
Hi,
I know I am digging this thread back from the dead, but it seems to me you guys have quite the similar problem I have on my Oneplus 9 Pro.
If you found a solution other than nolimit module I'd be grateful if you could let me know.
Scrolling on my phone feels slow as hell compared to my previous phone (OP 7 Pro) in a matter that is so bad that I searched to find a solution for this every once in a week. This video describes exactly what I mean and I think that's the same problem the OP was facing:
I went through all (developer) options, rooted the phone to try out some modules and tweaks from magisk (including nolimits, which runs well on OP9 Pro), but nothing resolved this issue. I can clearly tell that this can only be a configuration since the vertical scrolling is slow in any app while the overall performance is consistently slightly better than OP7 Pro.

It's the same on OP7P on OOS11, I think it's just an OOS11 thing, and not a hardware thing.
There's got to be some option to change this. I'd kill to do so, I really need to change this for accessibility reasons.
