When playing music the phone starts to lag, sometimes even scrolling throw homescreens isnt smooth, games are running 2 times slower than normally, poweramp or stock htc player - almost no difference, lag remains, wtf? Is it known android bug?
btw, i am on official 2.2.1 rom, so i cant try any other roms yet

I9000 cannot play mp3 smoothly unless completely disable data network.
Does any feel that the I9000 cannot play mp3 smoothly?
It always has some pause (0.3~0.5 seconds) during play any mp3 even in 128 kbps CBR [around pause for 5-8 times in each 5 mins mp3]
I just found that, if GPRS/EDGE/3G(HSDPA) is turned on, this problem will be happened. That is no problem with Wifi.
One more, if you try to keep the Data connection e.g. downloading a large file via GPRS, that will be no problem as well.
I do thank that when any app/module want to access the Internet and "start" the data connection, this "start" will trigger the mp3 un-smooth problem.
Anyone playing with issue as well?
Am I alone?
Have no issues of the sort, FLAC and mp3s play flawlessly.
Stock rom, JF3, non-rooted, no ATK or taskkillers in general.
maybe your phone is sync-ing too much stuff in the background
try turning off Facebook, email sync, tweet sync, etc, etc
I played a lot of Flacs with mine and it did have tiny pauses now and then as you described. Sounded as if the cpu was busy (synching or doing something else) or maybe there was heavy I/O activity and we know the SGS isn't brilliant at that.... in any case, decoding lagged sometimes.
Still, the pauses were fractions of a second and fairly rare (perhaps once every 15 minutes or so). Audible, but tolerable given the overall good audio quality of the gadget.
I am new from i9000 and I have the similar issue.
Although I had disable all the network traffic (APN/WIFI) and I was only running the MP3 player, the song still played with some stop.
I had try lots of MP3 player apps, such as Astro player, TuneWiki, Kiss Music Player, MixZing, etc. No one can play song smoothly on my device.
Can anyone tell me how to improve it?
glitches if flac
Just another confirmation I've noticed the same issue with flacs on JG4. I get a glitch every 5 to 10 minutes. I've not listened to many mp3s so I don't know if it happens with them as well.
Yeah mines the same. Gets worse when the signal is dropping, almost useless when im on the train.
Contemplating about using my trusty itouch just to listen to music. Btw its unrooted with the one click lag fix
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Its the firmware, I have tried many since the phone came out and about 50% of the firmwares have this problem, songs fine but every few mins there is a tiny pause/skip or what you want to call it, I have just moved to jpc but not tried any music yet to see if this one has same issue, but seeing as most are leaked there is always going to be an issue with something, guess the time we can really complain is when the real 2.2 comes out, if that has problems then its fair to have a go at Samsung.
I've upgraded to JM2 now, and I still don't have any troubles with my music player. mp3s and FLAC, no skipping or anything. Just smooth.
Oh and btw, I play my music from the internal SD.
Same problem here on JM6 (with and without ryanZa lagfix) with mp3's and videos.
No matter if internal or external sd card. Glitches occur approx. every 3- 5 minutes.
I'm not sure but i think there were no problems with stock JF3 firmware.
Edit:
Flashed back to stock JF3.
Music is playing flawlessly.
solved... kind of
Found what was responsible for my problems with music and video playback.
D-Clock Widget by mt. On every minute change playback stutters.
So check your widgets and apps running (in the background)
greets,
nerv
Eww leak on a clock ...
hey there. Please check if you are scrobbling music on your phone through last.fm!
I had this problem too. I used many scrobblers same problem. I disabled it now
another thing to check
many music player software will automatically download lyrics and arbum arts to the phone, those can also slow down and make it sluggish
Solution is not existed under 2.1, but don't worry

I'd like to change to I9000 and now I have HTC Desire, and I know what about you say. Under Eclair the garbage collection is terrible. Every garbage collection takes 0.1-3 secs, and then everything frezze.
Don't worry the Froyo will cure this - have to wait only 2-3 wks.
I've tried each and every rom that is of ICS and JB .. i have always been having problems, mostly the phone being slow with more apps installed and there have always been problems with the call functionality, such as at times when im getting a call the phone just keeps on vibrating and the phone gets hanged and i always have to take the battery off, this actually doesn't happen very often but it does.. and it gets very annoying at times.. the phone gets slower by more apps being installed such as viber, whatsapp.. the call problems mostly occurs when viber is installed
the thing i wanted to know is, if i go for GB in my phone as it being a lower version of android, is it possible that my phone gets faster .. my friend has a low end phone that has GB but i get jealous at times cause when i see him using his phone it just is very fast! and i want my phone to be like that too..
i only use normal apps such as whatsapp,viber, tango, temple run and some games.
Gaming and web browsing on GB will undoubtedly be slower, other things may be faster and more stable.
hello,
i'm getting crazy with this annoying micro stuttering and occasional lagging. it's happening everywhere - home screens, app drawer, settings, apps like xda and tapatalk. it's not major, but it's enough to be seen and to drive me nuts. i tried stock KK, Cloudy stock 2.5 and Cloudy G3. i also tried several kernels - stock, bruce Kernel and Dorimanx. i also tried tons of different settings for cpu governor and hotplugging; i tried the lag mod which have to remove the scrolling lag - it seams that nothing is helping. i tried with and without Greenify (to avoid a lot of resident apps), i also tried both Dalvik and Art - nothing. the slight lag is there - and it's just that - slight stutter, few frames dropped - enough to make you think that some setting will kill it finally. but no matter what i try, that slight lag and stutter is still there. can you give me some suggestions - i'm coming from Galaxy S3, which i used with Beanstalk rom - i experienced 0 lag and stutter and i cannot believe that i see that in a phone like the G2, given the powerful processor and the 2 gb of ram.
please help me not to get insane with that phone

I've only got 550mb of ram free and my phones flying. Not even a little bit of lag. But for the first week or so after re flashing the stock Rom I did get all that lag you were describing. Even after I debloated, flashed Bruce's and did every other mod you can think of. It ended up going away on it's own after a while. Maybe you just need to stick with one setup and let your phone settle.
You can use beanstalk on the g2 as well, if you were interested in going that route again.
I have the same issue. In games it lags and stutters just enough to put you off the game. I have noticed some videos do this as well like youtube. I am still testing this but I am reluctant to spend any time on it as it has a clear issue when other lower spec'd phones run the same games fine. Basic games as well. It is subtle, but the stutter is there. On some games it's can even be a full 1 or 2 second complete lag and game halt. I tried the CPU throttle option in hidden menus and this did nothing.
Can this be hardware problem? I phone LG and the support agent was extremely unhelpful. He said that it would be sent for repair and they will not play games, only flash it and run a test. I'm concerned this will be a classic case of "there was no fault found" and it will be a complete saga for ages. I already had this before with a different phone (different problem) and I'm fed up with phone problems.
Mine is from Vodafone UK store bought. I am tempted to try stock UK firmware to see if this fixes. Shouldn't have to though.... I also might end up trying a custom ROM to see if it goes away. I absolutely love the phone otherwise. I just want it to work.
PS: It runs benchmarks fine with high scores.
Hi all,
I bought G6 a few days ago(was using G2 3 years) and i noticed that phone lag/stutter so much while i scroll in instagram,chrome and every app where you can scroll. Also the stuttering is very noticeable in settings/apps,when i scroll down through list of apps. Opening and closing apps is fine,multitasking is fine but when it comes to scrolling (especially in instagram) the phone lags pretty much. It is really strange becouse even my g2 dont have problems with scrolling and fps drops. I tried force gpu rendering in developers options , tried disabling hw overlays and still didnt help. Tried hard reset on oreo - didnt help,Installed fulmics rom,melina kernel,but the problem still persist. It is really frustrating that this phone has such fps drops when scrolling..
Does anyone has such problems? I really need help,and i am really disappointed in this phone. Thanks
There seem to be a number of different ROMs out there. If you have experimented with different ones, which one did you find most reliable?
Reliable to me means
No random crashes, freezes, reboots
Phone calls work without any lag, echo, dropped calls or other issues
WiFi is stable
Mobile data is stable
Bluetooth works
Audio playback through speaker and headphones is clear and stable (music, podcasts)
No battery issues (rapid draining, charging problems)
No heat problems
Camera takes pictures and video in decent quality (doesn't have to be a gazillion MP stills and full 1080p 30fps video, lower resolution is ok, no stuttering or weird color issues are more important)
Ideally plus these, but in a pinch I could do without:
NFC works
USB OTG works
I don't really play games, no watching movies, nothing really super CPU/GPU-intensive. So I don't need top performance, I also don't need to have the absolute latest Android version. But something rock-solid and recent enough to run most apps. Suggestions?

I have tried roms for this device from nougat to pie and most reliable are nougat roms.
Try K.E.M, is lightweight debloated stock nougat 7.0, thats works flawlessly but only thing - in stock kernel, magisk refuses to install modules. Here i recommend flash Genesis Kernel 1.04 and cpu governor blu_active = no lag and good battery life, and magisk work flawlessly.
Next would be ParanoidAndroid 7.3.1. Iam using it and have very good stability and battery life, but fingerprint is out from settings and audio mods seems not working, viper4android works for time but after restart - No driver installed again. So use built-in equalizer for example Poweramp. And doesnt work with Genesis Kernel.
Next would be stock Marshmallow.
Other roms i had changed after day or two.
