Flash enabled though.
It has something to do with the fact that the Hummingbird SoC is not optimized for flash acceleration.
Someone post a video scrolling around Android central zoomed out like that with Flash disabled so we can tell how much of that lag is actually caused by Flash.
I went to both anandtech.com and androidcentral.com to try to replicate the issues witnessed in those videos.
No problems whatsoever. Scrolling is fine, even when not zoomed in. Pinch-to-zoom is fast. Flash is enabled.

What's your definition of fine? It would still be great to get a video so we can judge for ourselves.
Fine like this?

Not fine like that, no.
SADLY: the LAG in the browser is indeed there - and it shows up only after you have installed a decent number of apps (i have 67).
This is EXACTLY how it was on the SGS until Samsung released a fix.
Out of the box, it hardly lags - but as soon as i install some apps the lag starts. not always, but it is there.
shame.
67 apps and you complain about the lag?

Seriously?
YES i complain about lad with 67apps installed where my droid X has 100apps and there is zero lag.
My Nexus one has 110apps and there was no lag.
Solution:
Stick with Droid X or Nexus One. I use my phone heavily for work (2 Exchange accounts used all the time, 1 GMail) and I develop Android apps and have never had the need for more than 20-25 apps. Out of those 67, 30-40 can be useful tops, but 67, no way jose
Web browsing is smooth and fast. I think I like this phone better than the Vibrant. So far so good, no issue.
My mytouch 4g was definitely smoother when it comes to scrolling. It also automatically re-wrapped the text when I used pinch to zoom. With the nexus s it only re-wrapps text when I use the zoom control buttoms on the display.

Pinch zoom and then double tap the text for reflow. The standard way.
I think lag is caused by using more app in the background. It will be very smooth but if u open like 10 apps or so you will get some lag. So try to test it with and without that many apps running ...

I said installed apps. Not running apps. Of course I don't run 67apps in the background...not even one to be honest.

Browser is not at all improved from my Nexus One. EXTREMELY disappointed and the main reason why I will probably return this phone within the 30 days.
what i noticed is that flash (mostly ads) is causing the lag on my phone. i dont need flash all of the time so it went into the browser settings>enable plugins> and set it to on demand. that way flash isnt loading all of the time, only when i click on a certain flash element that i want to watch. makes pages load faster and probably saves battery too.
I picked up the Xoom on launch day and I've been pretty content with it so far, but I won't hide the fact that the device has a lot of random laggy moments, stutters, and glitches. Opening the app drawer looked like it was at 10fps, scrolling through the home screens would lag quite often, etc.
I don't know what happened, but after I just went into the android market to update my applications I swear my Xoom got a speed increase. Going through homescreens is super snappy now, it was never this smooth before. The app drawer looks great when you open/close it now, and everything just seems so snappy now. I was getting a little annoyed by all the home screen lag and random stutters, especially with a dual core processor that just shouldn't happen. I know other users have reported lag as well, has anyone else recently noticed a speed increase?

Since its that then im willing to bet that you had an app that was (before update) making your xoom seem slower than it should. Now that the app was updated, Xoom runs smoother. Thats my guess.

One application can hijack your Xoom and hose it up. All it takes is one....
I also noticed the lag, and mine is gone now too. When I added my google account, all the apps from my phone were loaded onto my Xoom, plus it was downloading all of my picasa web pics. It was cool, but way too much going on and it installed way too many apps that were probably not cool with honeycomb.
I removed all of the apps and rebooted, and things run perfectly now.
I agree with horsexd. I haven't really felt much lag...well besides in the accelerometer which I think was intended.
I noticed a drop in lag after restarting after initial boot.

Same after restart my xoom is lightening speed.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
I have found that once I got more comfortable with the xoom, I was going straight to what I needed. Not clicking too many things and going back because I meant to open something else.
I have the same experience on my phone.
Hmm. I've been in the market for the past 30 minutes and nothing has changed for me.
Rebooting my XOOM.
The honeycomb boot screen seems to be a bit faster.
[edit] I call shenanigans. The app screen is still choppy when I hit the apps drawer button.
Seems the same to me. Aside from pulling up the app drawer, it's been pretty snappy since I got it.
whenever mine gets turned on, the little honeycomb looking animation is usually choppy. I think once it ran smooth, but it was uber choppy on this first turn on.
I haven`t restarted my xoom but once since I got it and its blazing fast all the time.

Like unusable badly.
I chrome, opera, boat, etc. They have started to lag. When I open the app, it takes forever to load and it it literally freezes because it doesn't respond to my touches. This past for about 10 to 15 seconds. This happens every time I go to a new website as well. Sometimes, even the whole entire tablet freezes, not just the browser app. I can't even go home, back or multitask. Then, the stupid dialog box saying "app is not responding do you wait to close, report, wait?" this lasts for 10 seconds or so
Then it finally unfreezes but then freezes again when I type in a new url.
Only really happens in browser and Tapatalk too, but only during startup for Tapatalk.
Should I factory reset? I don't want to lose my game save data though I'm stock btw.
This is where having a micro sd would be helpful. Stupid idiot OEMs omitting sd cards #smh

Try clearing your cache? I installed Cache Clear by JRummy and was amazed at over 1GB of cache data 800mb of which went to chrome... It ran much smoother after clearing it.

Ya I cleared cache on chrome and magazines. Still problem.

I find Chrome to be VERY laggy when I open it, takes ages to re-load the previous open tabs (even if it's only 1 or 2) and ages before I can open a new one and type a url etc, I am finding the Firefox beta to be much MUCH better, plus it supports Flash so I am now pretty much using it as my default browser.
Maybe you should try custom rom
try downloading androbench and then test your device. Browser lag is sometimes related to storage read speeds.
Use Xscope browser. Nuff said.

Just tried xscope. Not a bad browser. It did freeze on me though
But it's pretty quick.

Xscope is very fast. In my experience it's the fastest. It's lightweight and has tons of features. I really suggest reading the help section to understand what options it has. Honestly I am amazed that xscope is not as popular as it should be. Everybody talks about dolphin/chrome but they don't come close to how easy and fast xscope is. I think that anybody who doesn't like xscope hasn't messed around with it enough to understand it. It literally feels way closer to chrome browser on the pc than chrome for android does. Use it for a few days and learn all it's features and I promise you will at least think a lot differently about it. There are quick gestures for switching tabs and you can even swipe across the screen to go back to your previous link (instead of pressing back button). That option is super handy! There are quick toggles for inverting the whites and blacks, desktop modes, full screen, lock orientation, etc. Trust me, just play with the option and you will love it I think.
I just reset my tablet since the browsers were lagging badly and freezing.
Everything seems to run s,other now,although I haven't installed my games yet lol

Look at your Google sync services. Possible some rogue app is problematic. I had stock browser sync issues at one point and just disabled sync for that service. Also, I think that Dolphin is the smoothest

I remember reading something about Google currents causing lag in jelly bean.
People said they fixed it by opening the currents app and disabling background sync.
A quick question for you lucky people who have got your N4s:
What's the multitasking like? I'm hoping it must be flawless with 2gigs of RAM?
Can someone who has GTA3 tell me if you can pick up exactly where you left off, if you've gone out of the game to do other things for a while? On my current phone GS3, it has the annoying habit of kicking me back to the beginning of the last mission I started if I leave the game for any reason. Is this a RAM limitation on my phone, or does GTA3 do this on all phones?
EDIT: I should mention I'm using the international GS3 i9300, that only has 1GB RAM.

My biggest problem with my older phones was that they would constantly close out the apps that I needed to stay open like contacts, messaging, phone. It annoyed me that my old clam shell phones would instantly open contacts and my G2 couldn't open then faster than 4 seconds or so. This thing leaves all those open and they all open instantaneously.

Flawless x2. Seriously, apps stay in memory for a considerably greater amount of time than my Atrix 2, and obviously longer than my Captivate. It makes switching to almost anything smooth and snappy.
Flawless.

What the other guys said - it is really great. No app loses it status, even if you have open quite a few of them. Switching between apps is absolutely fluent, no hiccups no waiting, nothing!
This should set the expectations of every Android phone.... Stock Android.

To be honest with you, multitasking has completely amazed me on the N4. On the Gnex, apps would close right away. With the N4, I go back to the browser at the end of the day, and the page I loaded hours earlier is still in memory In fact, I have yet to see my phone go below 950mb RAM remaining. I really think 2gb was overkill (1.5 would've easily done the job), but hey, I'm not complaining Also, keep in mind that I don't use any widgets at all, and I have very few things running in the background aside from Skype, so others may have a different experience.
Edit: As for GTA, it might be the game doing this. For example, Livingsocial is really annoying like that too. It doesn't matter if you just hit home and come back right away, it'll start from beginning. Yet, World of Goo, a much more demanding app, will come back exactly as I left it even when I leave to browse the internet for a while. Some developers really need to get with the program. I personally don't have GTA, so I couldn't tell you specifically.
Perfect. No other word to describe it. So much so I've noticed the phone stuttering a bit when scrolling (like a TINY bit, much less than any other android phone normally) and out of instinct opened the task killer to find 30+ applications all RUNNING. Including GTA3,

OK, I know its good, but 30 RUNNING? You do realize some stay in the launcher but aren't running, right? So you clicked them and they all didn't need to reload? I find that hard to believe. Someone should do a stress test of how many apps you can open before they need to reload when you go back to them and post it on YouTube

Hey I just got my g2. Incredible phone, there is a learning curve however. I'm not quite used to the dimensions and button the back, but I have only been using it for a couple days so I'll give it t some time. The screen and camera are the best I've ever seen(not counting the nokia1020).
The biggest issue for me right now is performance. Switching in and out of apps and navigating apps is pretty choppy. Had this been 3 years ago the speed would be great but I'm comparing it to my galaxy s4 and iPhone 5 side by side and the scrolling on some web pages and apps is frustratingly slow. I was wondering if anyone is seeing the same kind of performance?
No, my phone is flying. No lags whatsoever. I would try a master reset and see if that helps.

Since your coming from anexus 4, which was my favorite android phone besides the camera. How are you doing with the size difference? I have larger than average size hands and I have to bounce the phone around in my hand to reach things I need to press at the top of the screen. Never had that problem with the nexus or my gs4.
I'm coming from a N4 too (I'll get the phone the G2 this week) I'll miss vanilla, but the battery life, camera, and larger screen will MORE than make up for that with the G2.
do me a favor and try youtube, asphalt 8, riptide gp, etc etc. (heavy 3d games) everything is choppy for me but the choppiness is rhythmic for some odd reason
First off, what launcher are you using? I think alot of people that get lagged that are caused by a poorly written app, and assume its the phones fault. Only good way to tell will be factory reset, and run it that way a bit. All good then add ur apps back one at a time, testing it between apps, and that will pinpoint which app is the issue...
I've been getting some random gitter/lag with the ui as well, just tested in antutu got 30,000 then a second time got 26,000. Isn't the g2 supposed to get like 35k?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 4
Just so I could make a statement based on fact I downloaded Riptide GP 2 to see if I got any lag or stuttering, I played 2 races with no lag or slowdown. Then I went into the graphic settings but everything was already maxed out by default, I ended up playing for 20 more minutes and its a very fun game lol. So yep it just went thru the game like butter the way you would expect it to..
