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

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."

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 Samsung Galaxy S8 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".

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.

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.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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.
