Hello, I read this forum daily but not participate very often.
Two days ago I uninstalled facebook because with the latest update its camera process would always stay open in the background, no matter what I did.
Since then my Galaxy R transformed, it is like I got a new phone, there is no UI lag, all aplications' effects work perfectly and fast, apps open instantly etc.
I was really surprised by the difference so I thought to share it with you.
That's Facebook for you , stays in the background so you can receive notifications from them .
You can also try force app close with Settings > Development > Stop app via long-press . Tick that and you can now close any app just by holding the Back button .
The iPad 2. Revolutionary. (jk)
No I don't care if you're anti-Apple.
I had completely turned off notifications and synchronization for the facebook app. Most task managers showed it as closed, yet I could see from time to time that it used system resources through BetterBatteryStats.
The thing is that it didn't just use memory, it made any non OpenGL animation on my phone slow.
Opening the drawer of GoLauncher? Slow as hell. Opening the weather of beautiful widgets? Slow as hell. Browsing photos through QuickPic gallery? Slow as hell compared to the stock gallery.
In the stock camera app, whenever I pressed a setting, the transparent menu with the available options would take 3 or more seconds to appear.
Since I uninstalled the Facebook app all these lags are completely gone.
I haven't seen a difference in battery though. It is just like facebook was keeping a hardware resource for itself, not letting other apps use it.
PS. The setting about closing apps with long press isn't available on the stock ROM. I think only CM has it.

In term of app launching, the stock Oxygen home launcher is somewhat limiting the overall speed of the device launching apps. But if you use a google now launcher, nova launcher or any other 3rd party launchers, you'd see a significant increase in launching apps.
tested it on Oxygen OS 2.1.2
Apps starts really fast. Apps plopping up in under 1 sec.
Really bad, there is some weird lag from touching and app and the start of it.
Apps open fast with no lag but if you put an sd801 device ie. OPO or OPX they are a tad faster. But that's just app launch but doing heavier tasks that's where the OP2 excels
App launching speed on the stock launcher is slow. I just installed google now launcher and the difference is noticable
App launch speed is a little slow, it's not a problem though.
Under Cyanogenmod this OxygenOS lag is not present, also scrolling feels 100% smoother under Cyanogenmod compared to OxygenOS which is like <10fps and choppy while scrolling in Chrome or Tapatalk.
All in all, device is held back by poor oem software... smells like S*msung x-D
if you have too many apps installed,launching speed in very slow in stock oneplus launcher.but google now launcher is really fast

Totally agree.
Device feels 200% faster with Hydrogen MM. Everything is snappier and smoother. Every single app like reddit relay, tapatalk, chrome browser or youtube. Notification bar has no pull down lag.
There's no app launch or keyboard lag whatsoever.
OxygenOS is a crutch.

Installing GNL definitely increases the app launch speed..
m using sense home and sense apps !! may its a gimmik, but sense home opens app way faster than any other app launcher. u can find the modded launcher easily.
u ll get blinkfeed as well, sense weather !! m happy ! and my phone is stock, no root !

Yes, Iv'e had the similar experience on my previous device ( moto G 2014) where I could see significant difference in app launch speed with sense home..

Disabling shelf does some what increase the speed if you want to stick to stock launcher.. Disable it and then reboot
Normal. But dont lag plzzz.

thats because stock launcher is very slow, try ZenUI, its very fast and lightweight

Totally agree, stock launcher is fery slow compared to ZenUI launcher. ZenUI launcher has also support for custom icon packs and has built-in search engine.
Hi,
I've noticed that some apps run very smooth, but others can lag for no reason.
For example Play Store. When you open Play Store and start scrolling to the bottom of the home screen (lets say 3-4 rows of apps per swipe down) it lags a lot. It's nowhere close to being smooth. Even when you're at the bottom so everything has loaded, it still isn't smooth when scrolling up and down using normal scroll speed.
Reddit is Fun is also an app that has lots of lag / stutters for me.
Does anyone else experience this?

no. i haven't yet experienced any (major) lag in any app (have Play Store obviously and Reddit is Fun installed).. currently on 1.13.401.1.. also as some apps are smooth for you and others not, i would say blame the apps, but lag and smoothness are such subjective terms that I can only say I don't see any lag.

Do you have a password manager such as LastPass installed? They can cause lag issues if you have the accessability option set to fill passwords in apps.

Well I can't really blame Play Store since it's a default app. If you don't experience such lag, it must have something to do with my device.

i can experience the same "problem" you have. Everybody has it , trust me, but not everybody is sensible like we are.
i also see that the "go back" animation for example in settings is also stutter in 2 /10 times.

Thanks for your reply.
It's strange to me that the top of the line hardware can't even manage to make scrolling a default app like Play Store feel smooth. Even when viewing text comments within the Reddit is Fun app isn't always smooth. That's just scrolling text, not even loading images.
I guess I have to deal with it then. I expected more for this price range.
It's not the device. It's just poorly written apps. Compare for instance Facebook app and metal on older devices. They do the same thing but the experience is night and day. This a fairly new device so updates will come but playstore always stutters no matter the phone. It's been like that for years and I tried maaaaany devices
yes it has absolutely nothing to do with the hardware/device. like @mlodykaras said, it just poor coding.
Okay thanks for all your feedback guys!
Let's hope Google will learn how to write applications for Android correctly :silly:
Well to come back to this. The lag is just insane, there's no other way to put it. When I compare scrolling through the same text with my old Lenovo K3 Note, the U11 lags and stutters all the time while the Lenovo K3 Note doesn't stutter at all. That's just scrolling through text!
I've noticed that if you change the Interactive governor to Performance, the U11 doesn't lag anymore. But this isn't great for the CPU and for battery life of course.
Video 1 shows a 1080p 60fps Twitch stream. You can notice there are some spikes and overall it's close to the green line.
Video 2 shows the same 1080p 60fps Twitch stream. You can notice there are no spikes and overall it's not even close to the green line.
Video 3 shows the same comment thread in Reddit is Fun. I start by using the Performance governor and you can see me switch to the Interactive governor a little later. It's clear there are a ton of spikes using Interactive.
This really shouldn't be happening on such an expensive device.
I've even reverted back to stock using RUU, fresh install no restoring done. Same issues.
I have also noticed few apps other than play store. I am from India and some apps like BookMyShow & Inbox from Gmail stutters and there are always some frame drops. I tested BookMyShow in One plus 5, it runs very smoothly. Idk why it is like this and whether it'll be corrected or not.
My old debloated Galaxy S6 had smoother scrolling in apps in comparison with HTC10 and U11. HTC should adjust some kernel settings ot OS to fix this, it is very annoying. I really hope it will be fixed with Oreo update.

I don't think it would get fixed with oreo update as its not something that requires an overall new version of android.
Had it supposed to be changed, it would've changed by HTC in those 2-3 updates came out till now after the launch.
Problem with HTC is they do not take or even consider feedbacks unless there is some major major glitch.
For HTC this scrolling stutter and overblown of highlights and light sources in camera is just minor issues and they don't care about it.
On the other hand, there is google which takes every feedback seriously and tries to improve the Pixels on the software level as much as the software can.

Well Google does create Android so...
Has anyone noticed very very smooth display rendering animations when scrolling or swiping?
Is it just me getting this feature?
Also judging by the PPI of the new Pixel 4, it seems the display is from LG.
I'm getting blazing fast display animations...
I'm telling you, my display is suddenly extremely, extremely fluid. I know my phone since July and it hasn't been this fast.
I'm on 2340x1080 resolution...
Weird, I'm moving my finger in the screen up and down then up then down and so on extremely fast and the screen is extremely fast.
Almost 0 motion blur when scrolling text on white background...

Did you get an update that enabled this? Can you download an app called DevCheck from the Play Store and see what framerate it reports?

Hello, Mishaal!
I'm on September patch, but it doesn't require an update for LG to modify things in my phone. I've noticed many times my camera app was updated without me installing some Ota. That also happened also with my old lg g7. I've allowed Google and LG full feedback on Android.
I've downloaded the DevChec and as soon as I've opened it, the display wasn't as smooth as it was. Of course it reported 60Hz. Now I'm also with the same old fluidity of 60Hz. But I know my phone very well, it was on another frequency when I posted here. Either 90 or 120Hz. Couldn't tell.
Another interesting thing to notice is that the new pixels 4 have poled screens from LG. Maybe the same we have. Check it over the net, it's confirmed is an Poled.
Hope Lg gives me back that refresh rate... :crying:

Well, the V50 uses the same panel as the V40 (check kernel sources). No trace of anything above 60Hz in there.
Ofcourse they (you) can update the Camera app... just like any other system app, you can install updates for it (e.g. preinstalled everything, like play store or whatever, is also updating). Updating apps doesnt require an OTA, updating kernel/other system/vendor/product components requires an OTA (on pie atleast, on 10 theres the APEX stuff).
And just because the panel of the pixel 4 is also from LG, doesnt mean the same panel is in the V50/V40. Also the size/resolution of the panel differs anyway (might be able to cut it, but i doubt the controller really likes that).

HI, Markus!
Maybe the kernel already supports it and it allows remotely enable/disable. I know very well my phone since July 2019. Also never owned an 90-120Hz display. Also I know since 10 years what a 60hz is. But I know what it happened and what fluidity I saw the other day and it was not 60Hz. Hope someone else gets this.
If this is relevant or not, I was installing Ultra Corder 1.1.1 app cracked. After playing with it and exit that app I've opened Opera browser, then for about half an hour opened Facebook, youtube, Tidal and many apps. All of them had that fluidity. Then I went to sleep and the next day read the thread and installed Dev Check as pointed here. Since then the fluidity stopped. I've downloaded again Ultra Corder and installed it again but nothing happened so I think it's not a fault caused by ultra Corder.
The fluidity started with/in Opera app.
Noticed the 0 motion blur on text over white background when scrolling while holding the finger on the screen and moving up and down. I'm repeating right now that scroll and it has enormous motion blur.
If this is relevant, the screen flickered really bad on/off for a few times when I first opened Ultra Corder. But I don't think it has anything to do. I'm writing about it as it was in that very just before context when happened that fluidity.
Surprise! ?
Yep! ??????
Do you?
Hey, I've been using Poco X3 NFC for around 2 months now..and the refresh rate switching bugs me..when there is slight stuttering and slow animations.
Thx to XDA now through set it application, ive set it to 90hz for most of the time..but still there is some stuttering felt when u scroll the home screen of the launcher slowly..or the phone settings application..or gallery..sometimes chrome too..rest is smooth..can anyone suggest a fix? Also note that when I restart my device, then for 2 or 3 days it runs buttery smooth as.i wished it did constantly.. but after that the stuttering and slow animations appear through normal use..rest performance is fine during gaming and social media scrolling..but I don't like the dynamic Refresh rate switching..I wish it was set to permanent 90 Hz Instead of 120hz..

Sounds like you installed a lot of bloat on your phone. I would advise to search your app list for power hungry behaviour (always running in background, disabled battery optimizations, etc.) or even for suspicious and malicious spyware like Twitter and Facebook.
If you find such apps, remove them and try again. I'm sure the stuttering will vanish.

Thanks for replying..man but I checked and I don't have any add issue..and no bloatware except one cod game..Facebook or YouTube and Instagram..and I've restricted their activities..plus the ram is 6gb of which 3gb is available mostly..due to mui being a heavy ui, are u using Poco x3 as well? Man I wish there was another suggestion which I could try to make the stuttering vanish, and I think the stuttering issue is there due to dynamic Refresh rate switching..it's software issue on poco's part..waiting for more tips..here as I want to get this stuttering to vanish..

I use POCO X3 NFC surya with OctaviOS (Android 11, AOSP) with firmware version 12.0.3.0. I set static refresh rate to 120Hz and it is as smooth as butter. Have no stuttering at all. If you are interested in what exactly I did, read this comment.
P.S.: I have no Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or whatever installed.

Ahan man ?so you're using custom ROM..yes that's nice..can you share an ss here of how it looks and how's the experience compared to mui..ik it would be much more stable than this heavy skin.i don't hate mui but if I could get more smoothness then that would be amazing ..at the moment man I won't custom flash for Rom just now but maybe after several months..and updates if things do not get better I will..any tips for dynamic Refresh rate switching though man.? If I want to use the stock mui ..I'm on version 12.4 and Surya model..

I never used MIUI. I instantly flashed the custom ROM, as soon as I was allowed to. Before that, the phone was just laying around, waiting to be flashed. I have no idea what spyware this Xiaomi software has, so I refrained from using it all. That said, if you don't do extensive backups, then your data will be deleted on flash anyway, so why would I bother using the stock ROM for 7 days, just to remove it afterwards, anyway.
That said, I already heavily customized all looks, so potential screenshots wouldn't show how the custom ROM would look, instead it would only show how my personal customizations look, so no point in showing screenshots of that. Additionally, the parts that aren't customizable, like the Settings App, just looks like a stock Android 11 Settings App, I guess.
Finally, if you want to know more about OctaviOS, you can check out the thread I mentioned earlier. If you get to the first post of the thread I gave you my comment from, then there will be an explanation on OctaviOS and its feature set.

Right man..I respect that choice of yours using custom ROM..and tbh I think I'd do the same but only after some months.. I'm thinking that maybe future updates..and mui 13 next year would solve the trick..so got my fingers crossed..but when and I will flash my phone using a custom ROM..I'd definitely keep this OctaviOS in mind..thanks man
