s4 lag issues - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi , i have a s4 and i feels its kind of laggy compared to my old s3 .just seems to stutter and lag when opening up certain apps like the camera etc . im on vodafone do you think if i were to flash a different stock rom to my phone would that maybe sort out the lag issues ?
build im on isJDQ39.i9505XXUAMDD
any help would be great ,oh i should say i have also disabled the svoice from starting up from a double tap of the home button
thanks

Hi mate, I had the same issues with mine with o2 on the same build. I have now flashed XXUAME2 stock and it appears to be much smoother.
I also disabled animations in the developer menu which helped a little.
Run quadrant benchmark and see what score you get, I'm getting around 12800 with this rom.
Hope this helps.

[Q] i9505 OVERCLOCKING

hi there,
i wrote a mail to tegrak, yet didn't get a reply whether he's planning to implenet support for the kernel on i9505 devices.
>>has anybody of you overclocked his s4? if yes, how?
No why would u need to overclock ?? antutu bragging ??
Even if he implements it in his app the stock kernel doesn't support it anyways.
Wait for some custom kernels which allow for over clocking I'd say.

nope, because of the annoying lags for example when returning to homescreen or when scrolling in different apps or system settings or stock browser. on my note2 i used to lock gpu clock to highest 533mhz and there were no more lags, everything "buttery".
currently on xxuamdn using nova launcher.
hope the scrolling will be more fluently with further updates. where are the benefits of "project butter"?
anybody else experiencing lags and craving at least for a gpu lock? =)

what about going to developer options
and turning window transition and animations scales to 0.5X

yeah, thats what i tried, also turning off. but it doesn't help. still lagging. think thats the software..
even my s2 and note2 had way less lags. impossible that the s4 has - with double powerful processor..
so waiting for new samsung update. or wanamlite or sth like that..

oh, not mentionable: on my note2 i was undervolting the cpu (except the both highest ghz-rates) and overclocking gpu. still had 6-7 hours screen on time and with normal use 50% batterydrainage per day.

Upgrade to newer firmware.

Any news so far? Overclocking of GPU is interesting always, and some boost to CPU may let you view some Hi10P videos.

There is new firmware released all the time (particularly whilst the device is new). Custom ROM Devs normally use the newest as a base (if stable), so you'll have a choice of upgrading official stock manually via Odin, custom via CWM -or- wait for official release for your region.
If you wait for regional release, it could be a while, but flashing an international or other newer release will usually have a higher Samsung changelist with many bug fixes, performance and stabilty fixes.
Just break free of official, and enjoy the freedom

I believe XXUAME2 is newer, I have read how it includes a fix for the "micro-lag" some (all?) devices suffer from.

[Q] bad score at antutu?:(

hi i was so happy whit my phone and.. i mean i still am i LOVE IT!
anyway today i worried a little bit my n4 at Latest PA gives me score of 12500-12900 around it was under htc one x near s2
is it bad? it was lagging at gpu test i also have snapdragon gruu battery test wanna try it should i worry? or normal? or its coz anything? also the quality of test was HORRIBLE i mean pixels were so giant!!!! anyway should i worry?!!!! i played nfs no lag MC4 no lag something wrong whit my phone? gonna lag on other games?!!
edit: i jsut turned my phone again on while it was at antutu now it says score : 17271 !?!!! is it a bug or thats the real one?!!!! its same as nexus 4!!!!!!
Man just calm down, and forget about what the benchmark score is. Is your phone running smoothly when you normally use it? Im sure the answer is yes, so why does the benchmark score matter so much to you? Oh and I'd advise that you stop running benchmarks, as I've seen quite a few people have issues where their phone shuts off and won't turn back on while they were running benchmarks.

Oh tell me more about your first world problems please? Your benchmark score is too low? Oh poor soul.

High benchmark scores = bragging rights. Benchmarks doesn't mean anything, its more or less just numbers.

Problem with my GPU

Hey guys..... I've noticed that after rooting my SMN900 4.4.2, images take some time to get processed in the gallery. Also, my images dont seem much crisp either. The background wallpaper also seems to be of poor quality although it's a TRUE HD image. Guys, can any one help me???
I have Synapse (halaszk kernel). I can change the settings like voltages..... is there any fix using this synapse?
I've also noticed my FPS ON GAMES AND antutu benchmark to be down a lot.....
Sent from my amazing Exynos Note 3.
Any help would be appreciated
Sent from my amazing Exynos Note 3.
This is definitely not root related. You should do some reading in the rom and kernel thread you are using.
I think, looking at the kernel, there should be some screen related settings in synapse. But don't change them if you don't know what you are doing.
And it's forbidden to bump up your thread in less than 24 hours.

[Q] A weird kind of lag in N910C 5.0.1

I just installed android 5.0.1 (Boc3) on my N910CQ and everything works fine and feels like butter
except one thing:recent apps section.Its not the recent apps button but scrolling in the card stack and closing apps is lags so much.I didint find anything like that in the web
Do anyone else experiencing the same issues as i am ?
Thanks
I'm actually having the same problem. Recent apps button lags and the interface itself within the recent app list is a bit laggy too.
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Anyone could help us
Same here. I even replaced my default launcher with Nova. UI is now a bit faster than before (still noticeable lags) but the recent apps still lags too much. Same as closing recent apps. Mine is N910C
Same.. Downgraded to KK. 5.0.1 update is the worst update I think
I never had any lag on my device, pure stock.
I'm however using the F model on 4.4.4.
Kind regards, Stefan.
Man i have the same problem here it seems that the phone is always in power saving mode and the gpu is limited to 350 mhz instead of 700 mhz. Also the cpu runs at 1.3 ghz instead of 1.9 for the big cores thats why it has low score in antutu hope somebody figures out a solution and also this is a bug in this update
