Stuttery Animations - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Hey all,
After using Q beta for a while without a restart i was getting stuttery animations. It is not lag and is not slowness, just unsmooth animations such as in opening apps, closing apps, switching between them etc..
So due to this and other reasons I went back to stable P. However surprisingly the issue came back on P.
My ram usage is about 2.6 gb, sometimes hitting 2.7 gb, but not more. So i know its not the ram since when i close all apps the issue is still there. Only a restart fixes this.
Does anyone know or have a similar problem as this? as i explained, the phone is fast as hell, but sometimes after days of use i get stuttery animations where i did not have such a thing before using Q beta.

Recent Apps Lag

I've noticed that Marshmallow software from our mighty Samsung suffers from some modest recent apps screen lag. Moving through apps cards feels a bit stuttery and heavy (whereas everything else is lightning fast and smooth as butter). Am I the only one experiencing this? I feel like it came out some time after performing a factory reset. I'm running the latest version of XtreStoLite ROM, clean cache everyday (with SDMaid) and don't use crappy apps like for example Facebook which slow Android down significantly.
BTW,
I remember that I used to use some custom kernel for some short period of time (arter kernel probably?) and the problem seemed to be completely gone as I recall. Maybe that's the stock kernel related issue then

Scrolling and screen transition stutters/not smooth

I'm currently on build 47.1.A.12.34 Oreo 8.0.
Occasionally and randomly, my xzp just keeps getting micro stutters (e.g. Scrolling is not smooth, screen transitions are not smooth) every few seconds. It's actually very annoying as a user to see it switch from smooth to stuttery every few seconds.
Anyone else experiencing this?

yes I am, i thought its due to the 4k mod (too much to bare) but i dont really know maybe if youre on 4k, could be the problem i guess
Trying opening up developer menu and turning the animation speed up for faster animation
I have the same problem whit xzp. I asked on Italian Sony community and there are few person whit this problem. I guess than is a hardware issue.
i had the issue
but after clean flashing rom
i have not any problem at all
I use to have this problem until I unlocked my bootloader and ran Turbo ROM. No more problems for me. Dunno if you wanna go that route
The problem is google play Services. Just did a factory reset and didn't allow g. P. S. To UPDATE and was smooth. I think google does this with intention.... Scrolling in chrome, facebook and other apps is a nightmare
The problem was google play services and play store, they are both updating very fast when you first open the device as new. Disabling them is the key.
Now I am trying to see which version from apk mirror works...
For me the issue was rezolved by doing this:
1. Clean fix with XC
2. Disable Play Store and Google Play Services
3. Install both from apk mirror, latest versions, arm64 android 8, 320 dpi (it will reenable auto)
4. Disable in Chrome/flags some stuff regarding scrolling.
The problem is back! Either Sony changed default cpu governor settings with the new update which makes it even laggier, either google is doing the dirty job with play services or other software.
This phone was a rocket and now it feels like crap.
Tryed Bromite chrome web based browser and same sh...t
Any suggestions?

Oreo 8.0 performance

Any one else seing a major performance drop after the update? Almost every app now loads 3 times as slow if it doesnt crash out and have to force close. Youtube videos get verry laggy and hang sometimes for 10 to 20 seconds before the app plays catchup and throws all frames in from time it got stuck to current play time in the video. Also screen off gps is nonexistent. I use geofencing in smartthings and it worked flawlessly before. Also smartthings app notifications will not show up until the screen is on. Ive set it to ignore data and battery with no luck. I have wiped the phone in fastboot and reapplied the update in uppercut. Still the same issues. Surely I'm not the only one. Maybe I'm the only one still hanging in to this phone these days. ?
Nope, quite the opposite, the phone feels noticeably faster and smoother after the update.
edit: Nvm, I'm not on T-Mobile.

MIUI 12 lag issue

Hello, does anyone experience lag issues with the MIUI 12 update? Specifically MIUI 12.0.2 Global Stable (QJKEUXM).
There are really noticeable frame drops on the system UI itself, the pulling down of Control Center/Notifications panel is laggy. Opening the Poco launcher apps drawer is like 5-10 fps. Scrolling is really not smooth. Frame drops are also present in MLBB.
I haven't encountered such issues. Have you tried performing a factory reset?
Fixed
The lag issue was gone after I restarted the phone. I haven't performed any factory reset or debloat it.
Hi. For me ui, net browsing and gaming runs perfectly. But i have problem with suttering/frameskips in 60fps videos - on youtube, vlc player, even in camera app viewer. Sometimes its ok and the movies play perfectly smooth, but after some time the problem come back. Looks like software bug, maybe the problem is with cpu/gpu driver that accelerate decoding.
I can confirm lagging issue on some videos. Looks like an update to MIUI 12 caused that.
I have a problem with all videos played through Canal + Europe application even in 480p and 1080p. It doesn't matter.
Sometimes it is happening in HBO go app as well so it is not application issue.
Looks like some video drivers, codecs are missing for CPU ?
Confirmed
I can confirm this problem on my GFs poco f2 pro. After some time it just started lagging while pulling down the notifications menu. Restarting solves the problem temporarily but it occurs again after some time.
I've had no issues, however I did do a factory reset after the major update.

Miui 12 definitely lags more than miui 11 but the battery life is pretty good. For me the things that bother me are full screen gesture stutters and YouTube portrait to landscape rotation stutter which doesn't happen all the time only every once in a while. If you reboot your phone and try swiping down notifications at the start you will also notice stutter but this goes away after a few seconds. It may come back again the longer you use it without rebooting and could need a reboot again.
Miui 12 android 11 fixes some of these stutters but the battery life wasn't as good as Android 10 when I tested it and there are a few incompatible apps for now like 3rd party launchers and gestures. One of the ways to fix miui system gesture and launcher lag is to actually use 3rd party apps. I'm hoping updates improve battery life but keep the smooth performance. Either that or wait for custom roms because snapdragon 865 should not be thls sluggish and I think many know it's because of miui

Me too
That "major update" is from Android 10 to 11? In that case, surely it is better to make a factory reset.
No issues so far.... Still as fast as lightning....

SAME PROBLEM I AM FACING ON MY POCO M2 PRO...DID YOUR PROBLEM SOLVED? PLS LET ME KNOW

New POCO Community
For all questions about the POCO PRO F2 in official Rom. https://c.poco.net/global/
I was having same problems, especially with gestures on, with MIUI12 update on Redmi note 8t (willow). 12.0.1.0 didn't resolve anything, but the newest (12.0.2.0 RU) update made recents list / task view lag disappear. What was left is the most prominent lag, the one when swiping up to enter recents from the home screen. Switching to an alternative launcher (Nova Launcher) resolved that, though the entire sequence of crossfading from home screen to recents is unable to render, which i don't mind, as long as it runs smooth.
Now, i've done some changes in developer options, namely disabling logging and system tracing. Im not 100% sure, but it seems that increasing system tracing buffer to the maximum also made some change, but nothing i could do would make the home screen to recents lag disappear.

Question Is your phone as quick after the "GOS" FW update as it used to be?

Hey there,
yesterday I got the famous "GOS" firmware update and after having it installed my phone feels different. It happens in apps but not only that - for example as I switch from one screen with apps to another it slows down for a fraction of a second, a kind of micro stutter. Before the update it was butter smooth. I checked if the animations are still set to 0.5 (yes), 120Hz (yes) and wiped the cache but it is still the same.
Anybody else has the same problem, or even better, a solution? Thanks
Not got the update, but I manually disabled GOS, while I noticed it was smoother in various games and apps, I did notice some lag / stutters in places when it was enabled it was smooth.

Thanks, what is strange I didnt even disable it. I just got the new update but this bad result remains the same with GOS on or off regardless.
If anyone ever finds this and wonders how it ended - all my problems (when it comes to the phone) seem to be solved after a factory reset. The phone is much smoother, GB5 results good 20% higher and battery SOT time has gone up to over 8 hours. It was probably some artefact brought over via SmartSwitch that had caused the problems. Happy days now.
