Everything seems to be working ok havent really noticed anything really.

I haven't noticed anything either, although, admittedly, its early in the game.

If this is the 2nd update, then yes I am noticing some lag. Especially when doing things like you mention which totally frustrates me 'cause it was these types of activities that got so much better with the 3.1 upgrade... at least for me. Smoother swipes between home screen, moving widgets and a few others... sigh
Oh well, just hoping 3.2 will fix these. Asus is getting it this week, please Acer keep up with the Jones on this stuff!

Mine got it a few days ago. During the 2nd reboot, it was stuck with the screen backlight on, but nothing showing up. I had to force it off, then back on. I did get the "update was successful" message after unlocking it. Since then, it seems to be a little slower, especially with screen draws. It still plays videos fine, but the more apps I have open, the slower it changes screens, for example.

I noticed mine was laggy after the update... I thought maybe I installed something that was eating up the CPU, but I think it was probably the update that did it.
It's not horrible, just annoying.

Me too I have been some FC with launcher in addition to the laggyness.

I've had some lagginess, but only after I installed several apps. Skype was one that kept running, so I uninstalled it. Not sure what happened, but I only noticed lag after a few days of running and installing several apps, so I'm having trouble pinning it down.

I just went and backed up my apps with TB and factory reset and restored my apps back and no more lag

[Q] why does my nexus7 lag

hi my nexus7 seems to lag on evry app i try even the home screen lags when i swipe across them im thinking of rooting and putting ics custom rom is this a good idea? Even my old iphone 3 gs seems smoother. I was expecting jellybean's project butter to be a little bit better than this.butter it seems more like peanut butter to be honest. Is there anything i can do to make it not lag?

Look in the thread called "the LAG thread'. Check your storage, if it is nearly full, you need to do a factory reset and not let it get so full again. This apparent software bug hit my otherwise perfect Nexus 7, and the factory reset solved it. It's smooth as butter again.

Nope that can't be it. It was like it from the box and there's still nothing on my nexus can it be a defect? I've just checked and my CPU is at 100% all the time and all that's running is stock processes. I can post a screen shot if it can be of help. Also I've updated to 4.1.2 and followed the advice of running the forever gone app and deleted every item from SD card. It still lags.

I would try flashing it with a complete stock 4.1.2 rom from google . Maybe the original flash was bad from the factory... if you do that and its still lags send it back RMA ...

One thing that made my N7 lag the second day after I got was the damn "My Library" widget on the home screen. I got rid of it and now it's silky smooth. I also don't clutter it with a lot of widgets or anything.

You people sure are fast with the "flash again"and the "factory resets" (-;
Install OS manager from the market and look what's using your CPU that much.

go into the devices main settings, developer options.. first try enabling force gpu rendering. secondly, try disabling the animations(or try turning them to .5).

Give a try to my ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33104070

There's nothing wrong with your device hardware wise. Whatever is causing your processor to run at 100% is creating the lag.
Like others have said, find what app is causing at and let us know. It might just be the media scanner.

Official Stock 4.3 Bugs list

Hi there,
I am currently on 10.4.B.0.569 india generic firmware on SGP321. My first impression is that the 4.3 rom is awesome! Project butter is really doing their job pretty well. However, I still found a couple of bugs; some of them are pretty annoying. And I am not really sure if everyone has the same problems or if i am the only one who has them. Those bugs are listed below:
1. Black Wallpaper: it appears for a few second after playing some heavy games or a extensive use of facebook app or web browser. It is back to normal in a matter of seconds but it is pretty annoying.
2. App icon is out off the folder: trying to apply the new theme and the problem appear, but after a few reboots it was back to normal.
3. Video playback seem to not working properly: I try to play some 720p or 1080p videos and it skips a few frame. It looks pretty laggish. It does not happen to every 720p videos, but i usually have that problem with mkv dvdrip format 23.97fps which was fine in 4.2.2. Switching to S/W mode in MX player seem to fix the problem.
4. Battery life: seem to consume a little more than it used to in 4.2.2. I usually get 8-9h of screen on. In 4.2.2, i got around 8-10h. Amazingly, in 4.1.2 i got up to 11h of video playback.
5. Screen flickering from times to times
That's all I found so far. Tell me if u have the same problems and feel free to add more.
Have a nice day!

As far as i understood shutdown time depends on a number of programs loaded in memory (not installed but running at the moment) and on unmounting of SD-card. Cause it takes some time to unload them properly, unmount partitions, sd and then shut down.

I sometimes have wifi problems aswell, have to reset the tabz to use the Internet, tried with 3 other routers and never had a problem on 4.2.2

Emails don't get marked as read anymore when I open them.

MHL/HDMI output does not scale picture to tv, which means the aspect ratio is messed up (wide faces etc). Did work perfectly in 4.1.2. Sony support blames Google.

If you have video format issues try using Mx player latest version with custom codec, video will run fine in Hw mode

I recently bought a SGP311 and went from 4.1.2 straight to 4.3. Even though my tablet was new, I did a factory reset anyway while installing the new android. The tablet took a minute to shut down. Minor annoyance really. But my first impression was that it hanged on shutdown.
That said, I returned that tablet b/c of a loose back. I got a brand new one and have kept it on 4.1.2 for now until I see problems are being addressed. Most notably battery life and HD video issues.
This is a very good thread for me to track issues. Thank-you OP for this thread.
And in 4.3, how do you get the small small apps as available in 4.1.2? Im still trying to learn my ropes on the tablet, but as I have returned the updated tablet, I'd like to know this is possible.

A factory reset removed the flickering from my SGP311

I have problem in my SGP 321 and more people had the same
with the LTE ... the icon apears like i don't have signal...
but i have ... it's strange .. :S
if someone can help...

On mine, there's only the battery gauge bug: When the battery is low (below 40% or so), if the tablet is restarted, the battery indicator suddenly shows over 50% afterwards, which is definitely wrong.

now whit android 4.3 (.569) i have one interesting problem -whit games specialy NOVA 3 after playing a while the deveise is restarting ....with android 4.1.2 i don't have these problem

Weird I am running new stock 4.3 and I haven't faced any of the issues my battery is way better then 4.2 I get a few days out of it with light use with mouse and keyboard. Mhl works great for me. If you have the option in your TV.you can fix it.by using screen fit. Haven't had a single reboot either with my tab z

After restart of the tablet the energymanagement start new. So the count of the complete battery runingtime is wrong

Weird lag

Hi everyone,
My note 4 seems to start lagging recently after I play games on it for a while. When I close the game, the phone itself lags as well. It's very obvious too when I'm just scrolling through my drawer. Has anyone experienced this? The few times I noticed the lag was also when my battery was low, <25% and I thought it may have been power saving mode. However I checked and power saving mode was off. Also when I use the facebook app any anytime, it has a scroll lag. I noticed that too when I'm browsing on certain sites (ie; XDA).
I tried factory reset and that did not fix the issue and I have the phone too long to exchange/refund

Dont worry bro
Use nova launcher for best experience

same dam problem

I am having the same problem.intalled Nova turned off s voice. UGH PLEASE HELP

I never experienced any lag using stock launcher!, i want to stay my phone the way i first bought it.
if i change my launcher it feels like im not using note 4 anymore!

I'm already using nova. I tired stock browser but sites like XDA still lags when I scroll. Also when I game for a while, the game will start to lag. When I exit to home screen the phone itself lags too! I have to clear the ram for the phone to go back to normal. The weird thing is, the ram was only 2.22gb/2.72gb, it's not even close to max!

Stop clearing your ram now
Try uninstall some background app like facebook and see the effect

Hm interesting, after I last cleared my ram. I've been gaming for 2hrs straight and 0 lag... I've swapped back and forth from game to homescreen to whatsapp etc and no lag at all... Only thing different is I'm charging my phone at the same time. Think charging has something to do with it?

Just got myself an exynos note 4. Very nice phone but aside from a little touchwiz stutter, games such as real racing 3 and clash of clans stutter. My nexus 4 ran them fine. Did a quick antutu benchmark to see whats up and i got 49000 on antutu without flight mode on. What do you think? Benchmarks say my phone should handle them with ease but thats not the case. Anyone with a solution? I already disabled many samsung and google apps. Lag is evident only in games.

You're not using Power Saver, are you?

My note's benchmark seemed normal and I play Clash of Clans as well and it seems okay. The game I play most often is Summoners War and that is what's causing the lag. Come to think of it, I think I had an issue with the lag on my Nexus 5 as well but I might have chalked it up to the phone being old so when this happen on my brand new note 4, it raised a red flag. But still, I'm still confused why the game would lag my phone even thought it there's plenty of memory available.

I just tried clash of clans on my brothers s5. Turns out the stuttering is even worse. Im testing this by zooming in on the base and scrolling rapidly back and forth on a canon for example. I will test this on my nexus 4.i too thought coming to a phone as powerful as the note 4 i shouldnt see any stutters but if its happening on an s5 then i guess its not a hardware issue on my phone but rather an android thing? Tested this also on my iphone 6 with no stutters at all.

I was having the same problem, so believe it or not, the way I stopped it was going into application manager and disabling S Health. I don't know how or why, but this stopped all the lag. After installing Ktoonez kernel, I thought maybe I could turn it back on, but when I did, I started getting the same lag again. I hope this helps because I know it is frustrating

I second Keith's recommendation. My 2-day-old, rooted Note 4 was lagging and was particularly noticeable when scrolling through some web pages or content in Flipboard. But it lagged in other places as well. Also stuttered or paused when playing podcasts. I tried installing Nova Launcher, I tried removing Wanam Xposed, and some other things but it finally went away when I started to disable various Samsung bloatware. The success occurred after I disabled SHealth and some other things (I just happened to do a few all at the same time). I suspect SHealth was the culprit because it was probably running in the background all the time, trying to track my step count.
I ended up keeping Nova Launcher since I gives me some useful customizations, and I love Wanam + Xposed, partly because it lets me get rid of Samsung's Search menu item that always used to appear in my notifications shade.
It's been over a week, now, and no more lag / stutter. Absolutely loving the phone, now.
I haven't gone back to re-enable some of the bloatware in order to confirm that SHealth was the culprit because, quite frankly, I have no interest in the stuff I disabled, anyway.

I have also disabled S health but I never had a problem with Clash of Clans when even I had S health Enabled.. whereas the other game I play (Summoners War) it always start to lag after an hr+ of gaming.

I already disabled s health through the app drawer but that does not solve the problem. Coc will run fine for a few mins and then start to stutter like its not optimized. To test for hardware issues i installed dead trigger 2 and injustice gods among us and they absolutely fly. The problem seems to be with coc. I am using an exynos note 4 on stock rom stock kernel. Any thoughts?

return your phone

when your phone starts to stutter after some time playing games, it might be thermal throttling. depending on the game you can notice it more or less.

Have you experienced lag?

Do you experience lag when using the phone. I've experienced lag during basic operations like working with emails in Inbox, app drawer, recent apps, quick menu, scrolling nearly anywhere, etc.

The only lag I've seen thats really bad for me is when swiping to close apps.

I wonder if it's the phone or just a Google keyboard issue? Definitely not a big deal, but kinda frustrating

I thought I was the only one seeing small keyboard lag lol otherwise everything else is OK.

I am using SwiftKey and the emoji's lag. In the phone app when scrolling through the history - terrible stutter...I mean really bad! Other than those two..which are not that important...the phone is great!

The contacts list in Hangouts is pretty laggy for me but that's the app, not the phone. I'm very happy with my purchase.

No Lag but I have had several crashes/restarts. I'm trying to figure out if I have an app causing me the problem. I'm using Nova Launcher and may try to use the Stock one for a bit to see if that is the cause.

I'm using nova. No issues like that. I've noticed a change since I did a factory reset. You may try that.

Since we are talking about lag and speed in this thread I figured I'd post this comparison between the Pure and the S6. I recommend you take a look, I was surprised at the results. His second time through the test is pretty telling.

Coming from a G4 (lag central), I can't tell any lag. I did have one issue where I apparently had too many running apps/processes at once and the phone froze for a few seconds. I cleared all of my running apps, freeing RAM, and haven't had the issue since.

This is what I'm seeing. Although my wife's phone seems pretty smooth.......

Since the Google App updated with the vertical scrolling feature, I am not getting much lag anymore.

I Have had the phone since the 16th and have had maybe one or two times when the multitasking screen lags just a little when 1st opened. That's all I have seen in my week of owning the Moto X.
