I had the OnePlus 7 pro and the same apps load much faster. I good example is the XDA Labs apps take a second or two to load. Same with tweetcaster. Is there some setting I need to change?
Never mind I figured it out. I was using meteor swipe and apps launched slow from this. Started using edge panel and now everything is snappy!

I've tried the mods, but it just still doesn't seem like this phone is multitasking. It seems more time based than it does ram availability.
I don't know... My prior phone was an infuse and it just seems like when I went back to apps they were always where I left them, and if I had stuff typed in... It would still be there.
Anyone agree or disagree and if you do disagree, how do you have your multitasking modded or setup?
Thanks

I too have always had a problem with multitasking. For instance MOG just pauses for no reason if I have more than one app open. Same with another app called doods music player. Browser refreshes if I leave it for more than 10 seconds. I've tried everything, used min free, flashed clean roms multitask fix and it still sucks. I am a huge music buff and without true multi tasking it sucks.

Maybe it's me getting used to the speed of the new phone, but in the past month it seems to be running slower or acting more laggy. Any way that this can be checked? I have not heard of anything. But maybe I missed it.

either its you getting used to it, or youve bogged it down with crap.
Phones dont just get slower on their own.
Did you try disabling sync? I had mine disabled, and was still getting notifications from facebook/xda etc, so had to go to those programs and check off notifications. Even after I would turn off/on or reboot, seems like those are still starting up running in the background.
Download an app from the Market called "App cache cleaner" run that. Also backup then delete your old emails, sms, call logs etc...if they are growing big. My wife had 5000 sms on the phone, so when she opened sms, she said it slow, but not after I delete them all. Good luck!
Thought of rooting? I didn't really play with my phone without root that long, but rooting and installing custom roms made it really smooth, especially when it's jelly bean. But even when it wasn't, it's still smoother and faster. Just a thought.

ive noticed a bit of lag here and there as well. those 2 gigs of ram don't do much for me at least. seems touchwiz uses almost a gig of it. still a beast of a phone though.
You could go to developer options then set window and screen transitions to .5x. Everything should be a bit faster

+1, before I rooted and ROM'd this helped noticeably speed up the phone. Definitely try this. Also, try Nova Launcher as a home screen replacement. It's very refined and has even more window and screen transition controls. There will be no lag at all.
its all in the setup...no device out there will stay fast if you have a hundred background processes, overloaded app cache, and syncing data to multiple apps.
Nova is fantastic on this device. Stock it should show a noticeable difference. Rooted running synergy with transition speeds all maxed out - unmatched. Phone is fantastic. I agree with post above, clean that cache. Also remember, all the verizon bull sh*t runs all the time, though you'll need to root to stop that.
Side note: sd speed increase (the dedicated xda developers one, not ones thrown into a multi use programs) works very good. Support are devs here and give it a try

Ive noticed recently that my browser and youtube apps seem to minimize and then open again. I dont see the homescreen, the app kinda shrinks like it was closed, and then expands from the top. Im really not sure what has caused this. This only started happening recently and i have no idea what could be causing it. The only thing ive installed recently was the humble bundle games.
When it reopens, it remembers what i was typing in the youtube comment, but the video is stopped and i usually need to rewatch the ad before i can skip back to the video position. Really annoying on the bigger videos.
Other problems im having is i get random lines flicker across the screen, and almost looks like its an 'extra' line that shifts the image up by one pixel to make room for it.
And then i noticed on the asus keyboard there is a spot on the spacebar that doesnt work. It makes the typing sound when clicked, but no space character is typed. Its on the far right side of the spacebar. It was extremely frustrating until i discovered why half the things i typed had no space even though i was SURE i hit the spacebar.
I'm having the same issue, I posted a thread about it over in the Q&A section, but still haven't heard of any workarounds... but i will at the least confirm i have the same issues

I can also confirm I am having the same issues, all of them.
Especially prevalent is the apps minimizing then opening themselves up again. I've been trying to figure out if an app is doing it but I don't think this is the case. I have also installed Humble Bundle apps though, it could potentially be that.
The keyboard's spacebar seems to just be bad hardware design. I miss a lot of spaces as well and have slowly migrated my thumb to the center of the spacebar because of it.

Don't think it's the humble apps, I have the same issue and none of those apps.

Mine just started doing the open/close/open thing as well. Seemed like it started after the last update.

It was happening to me with the old firmware before i installed .18 even. I held off on updating until yesterday. Its got to be an app...
I think I fixed this issue by enabling GPU rendering in developer settings... Now the only issue is the random black line flickering which seems to be a common issue for everyone on Android 4.1.1

The apps re-opening issue has vanished for me, likely due to an app update im guessing. I didnt change anything except update some apps, though im not sure which one it could have been.
I still have the lines flickering, and the right end of the space bar on the virtual keyboard still doesnt work. Etc. Though, these problems seem more common so im guessing/hoping they will get fixed.
Yea I haven't seen it either.

Fine people of XDA,
My phone ended up hitting 103 today and I could feel it was really warm through my spigen case. Anyway I have is monitor in my status bar so when I pulled down I saw chrome using 43-50 perfect. I had 3 tabs all be lightweight news websites. They were endgadget, anandtech and ign.
I've dealt with this on my nexus 4 for the entire time I had it but the 5 has been perfect handling any stress and for once I thought chrome wasn't a piece of ****. To validate it was chrome, I switched to opera doing the same things I was on chrome for an hour and the cpu at most was 7-10%.
I would like to go back to chrome cause I use the touch gestures a lot. So does anyone have recommendations? If not I'll gladly keep using opera.
On a 4 hour car ride so this is the "hardest" I've used my phone for s long period of time but even games don't stress this phone like chrome does.

Chrome has always strained the system, change to another browser like Boat, FF, Opera, Dolphin, Puffin etc.
Thanks for the reply. Figured that would be the answer hoping it was.
Google chrome team get your **** together.

I recently installed the eBay app, and have immediately noticed a thumb bar thing at the bottom of the screen. Pics are below. I highly doubt it's from eBay.
I've had the same apps on my phone that I've had previously on the Nexus 4, and never saw this. Even with eBay installed. I have to reboot the phone to get rid of it.
Any ideas?

I found out. An app I had updated security for the Galaxy S5's finger print scanning, and is leaving a bar on non Galaxy devices. Sheesh....

I had this too, a reboot fixed it. I thought I was going crazy.
Edit: I checked my running processes and it turns out to be lastpass at fault. There was a floating fingerprint overlay process I had to kill since it just returned.

Yeah, LastPass just added S5 fingerprint support, looks like it leaked to other devices, might want to file a bug report.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that it was the lastpass app. I hope this bug doesn't become common when apps update for finger print scanning tech.
