Hello Guys i need some help here, im using Google* rom and i havent changed anything in the phone, i downloaded some games and apps, i just bought a nexus 4 in india and when i swipe through homescreen i occationally get lag and i get lag in app menu and widgets menu when swiping. when i play Temple Run 2 and subway surfer ( all updated to new version ) i get slight lag when playing the two games and at 37-40*C and the lag increases in temple run 2 when the temperature increases from 37*C - 40*C, can i know if this is normal?, anyone notice this?, i thought Adreno 320 was a great GPU which can play any games without lag and was in par( or Greater ) with/than iphone 5, but it cant withstand Temple Run 2?! im disappointed or is my Nexus 4 a defective one? or i gotta download a custom rom to resolve this problem? please help me.... :'(. and by mistake i was kept clicking the model number of the phone and i activated developers version by mistake, is there any way to disable it? i dont know what is developers version by the way .., just to avoid trouble :/

Enabling Developer options doesn`t cause lag or anything and gives you the choice to enable some options like usb debugging etc etc. I run Temple Run 2 too and xperience no lag at all and i have about 160 apps installed. Maybe too many heavy apps like Facebook or similar apps running in the background? And the temperatures are quite normal when gaming. Install BetterBatteryStatts for monitoring specific apps behaviour.

i only have like less than 15 apps installed, using the same rom included with the phone during purchase, i always clear background apps and recent apps often. and what are the normal temperatures for nexus 4? maybe the google* rom not very powerfull? i get lag on my homescreen, app section and widget section too occasionally.. :/

I would do a data factory reset in settings/backup and restore if i we`re you. I realy don`t xperience any lags and i`am on stock 4.2.2 also. I guess you installed the 4.2.2 OTA and it is advised to factory reset afterwards to avoid conflicts.

i hear so many complaints about those two games and laginess, that i dont think that its the phones fault. im gonna chalk it up to crappy coding in those games.
reading some of the comments in the play store for those games, also makes me think its the games issue.

even with all stock, it shouldnt lag like that. what governor/scheduler do you use?
kernels control most everything about your phone(like the brains kinda), they also connect the hardware to the software.

I think the factory reset will wipe both your app data and the apps. That's why it's called a "factory reset". You need apps like Titanium Backup to make backups for your apps.
I'm not running stock rom now, but the lags you experienced are absolutely abnormal. I would also do a reset as Gee2012 said.

ok. then you dont need to consider kernels. do you reboot your device often? if not, one every few days is good. a factory reset might help too.

okay ill factory reset then

the thing that i dont like about being completely stock is that real maintenance is hard to do, like wiping tge dalvik cache(that would speed things up), or changing the kernel dor one that has been optimized. so, a factory reset would be the option for a completely stock phone.

okay

I have both games, and it does not lag on stock rom/ stock kernel. As for temps, I'm not too sure. If after wiping it completely and the problem is still there, then there might be an issue with the phone.

For temple run 2, if I remember correctly it had little lags so it may just be the game. I'm currently playing temple run OZ and playing it on high graphics with no lag. If you feel your phone gets a bit warm, def look into UV it helps cools down the phone.

My G2 D801 with KK lags on low requirement games

Hey I'm back once again with another issue I am really surprised to be seeing LAG or FPS skip on games like temple run 2 or subway surfers when I get no lag on any of my GTA games (I own all 3) the only time GTA starts to lose fps is if I play for an hour PR so logically but like I said I get fps lag on those games that don't require a good CPU and yet even with a beastly phone they lag .. So can anyone help me fix this or know how because its pretty frustrating how one can't play a game like subway surfer without losing his mind ... ADDITITIONAL INFO: the UI of the phone is really fast and I have no problems web browsing or going on apps like fb.

Well umm I don't root and there should be a way to solve this without root because I'm sick of this phone.. I should have bought a 5s.. I think it just go back to my Nexus 4 since I never had any problems with it.. I would root if there was a CWM for d801 and made by someone who can put up a good guide but I bricked my G2 on twrp months ago and ain't doing it again

I did try that couple days ago but it did not get rid of lag on low requirement games .. I ended up just turning it off again because my CPU got really hot fast while doing basic things like web browsing or listening to music etc so now that its off don't overheat really fast which is strange because its supposed to monitor the CPU .. Thanks for attempting to help though
I'm considering going back to Jelly Bean from what I remember the phone UI was slower than but my battery life was really good I got 6-7 hours now I get max: 4 and a half hours if I'm lucky .. And also I I'm pretty sure I did not have any sort of gaming issues on low requirement games.. Is this a good idea.. I'll do it in the weekend because my friend knows how to go back to stock .. I'm not really good with these sort of things Lol

My guess is that you have some kind of app that is sucking your cpu.
Check for rogue apps and uninstall any application that may cause slowness

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.

Lag Playing Spider-Man Unlimited

Hello guys,
First of all I have a great time playing any games so far on my 910C, even heavy ones, but Spider-man Unlimited is giving me a pretty hard time! Most of you will say the game is butter smooth, and it is on the first hour or so of gameplay. When you advance in the game a lot of explosions and stuff start to pop up and the frame rate goes down. When you fight Electro the lag is unbearable. Keep in mind that my unit is not a fake or faulty.
What I have tried so far:
Downscaling resolution with NoMone Resolution Changer.
Disabling DVFS.
Emulating different GPUs and lowering the render resolution using GLToos (graphics optimizer)
Setting the governor to performance.
Disabling activities in the background.
Different combinations of the above.
And for my surprise none of these seemed to make a huge effect.
Yet to try:
Messing with the thermal throttle (haven't seen how yet).
I obviously don't have power saving mode on and sync is off. It's clear the game is not optimized and I'm aware that some other flagships have the same issue, but I'm looking for a way to fix this as I'm really addicted to the game and the lag is killing me.
Any ideas? Thanks.
U pretty much tried what u could, so the only thing really left is to email the dev and wait for it to be optimized for our phone. At least ur not one of the many people on xda that is like, oh why does the snapdragon suck, why is this phone so slow blah blah blah. Those people really annoy me that the first thing they blame is the chip/gpu, when it's clearly the software not being optimized.

Sure, the optimization for this game is laughable. Btw GLTools caused me random reboots and didn't solve the problem so I uninstalled it.

I use GLTools for enhancing, and don't run into problems. Like 16x anti aliasing, optimized shaders, and half float hack on my lwp+ apex+all widgets so everything looks it's best. I set it like that on games like gta as well.

Nice to hear!
My freezes followed by restarts were caused by disabling dvfs (incompatibility of some apps I guess).
Maybe this game is impossible to optimize from our end, so I'll leave it as it is. But it was good to make the post for other people having similar issues with this and other games.

Any feedback from snapdragon users?
The Ultimate Kernel helped a lot! Totally recommend it (intended to the C version, check the main thread for other versions)! If you crank every setting up and manage to keep the phone cold if really flies, but even just swapping the kernel improved gameplay.

Have you played with developer options? As another user commented, it won't hurt to show the phone to Samsung center.
Exynos is usually good, I like it better than Qualcomm version. In US we have Snapdragon version.

Looks like you have done enough of troubleshooting...I had a phone form UK once and when I called Sony, they told me that phone is international and they won't have parts in US to fix it.
1) You mentioned something about "factory settings", did you mean you did factory reset?
2) Have you also try to re-flash firmware using Samsung software, there was an option for this. Before we had Samsung Kies to do it, I just don't know if it still available for S8. When you do factory reset, it just erases your data and starts from the beginning, but re-flashing is much better, because it flashes the whole firmware and "may" help you eliminate issues.

Right! There could be that GPU has a bad thermal paste and possibly gets hot... Oh, while typing this I got an idea. Try getting an app that shows GPU temperature of your device while lets say you load a game and try to play it for 2-5 minutes. Then with that app, measure before and after gameplay. We need a game that is GPU intensive such as Modern Combat 5 and Need for Speed - No Limits or something similar. Then compare with other users.

I have the model g950f and I installed several firmwares from different countries and operators and I also installed a few roms. I have no bixby installed, the system is highly debloated and y only have a few apps installed but i always notice a slight delay, lagg etc.
With the s7 I always have about 2gb free ram and with s8 I'm always under 1gb ram.. I think that's the problem. The truth, my s7 is much more fluid In some scenarios, like in games.

that's true!:good:

For All The People Who Faces Lag in Games or Generally using the device!

Today I found something interesting happened to my phone it was running buttery smooth like it should be (821), and most of all the game i play everyday wasnt lagging at all, PUBG
Solution: DO NOT USE SMART CLEANING app or any other kind of it, your phone will start running smooth in next 3 4 days or maybe less.
Try this and share me your experiences.
Comment to let me know you're trying this.
Thanks. I'll give it a try and see if it makes a difference, because the amount of lag I experience while playing Cytus II is unbearably bad and makes the game nearly unplayable.
So dont use anything at all and itll work smooth? ok ill try that
Hi
Are you referring to the Smart Doctor build in app?
Did you disable or uninstall it?
It's been 3 days and I've reached a verdict. Doing as the OP said actually made games run better. By that, I mean I disabled Smart Cleaning via LG Package Disabler and deleted Google Files Go.
I'm not kidding about this helping. Cytus II is playable now at full 1440p 60fps, with very few lagspikes. Other games I've played, like Alto's Odyssey, run somewhat better as well.
Go try it out yourself, it may help a lot!

The name is "Smart Cleaning" app. No disable/uninstall, I'm just not using it that's it. You can disable/uninstall it if you want.

After a factory reset a couple days ago the antutu graphics benchmark got noticeably choppier, especially the "marooned" scene which was previously completely fluid. That was a disappointment since that was one of the reasons for going through that process! I've now removed Google files go and I will see if that makes a difference, I hope it does. If so, thank you in advance.
Btw I think you meant "1440p" (QHD) not "2160p", that's 4k! ?

Yeah, that's right. Thanks for pointing that out!
This is serious guys, I deleted Smart Cleaning by ADB and my gaming experience increase magically, Shadowgun Legends can run quite good with Ultra high 60fps setting, it couldn't do that before. Unbelievable
PS: Tested only with latest Android 7.0
I have zero lag and i use smart doctor every other day.

Well, two weeks from when i see this thread and i stop using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app, just to say, this guy is right, using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app will (somehow, and i dont know how and why) make you phone laggy and in my tests if i open it like between 2 or 3 days and make a clean all UI and the app frezzes and i need to wait almost 1 minute to phone get out of the app and all be OK again.
So, my test really gives reason to this guy and i will delete the app from the phone, and i recomend all people with rooted G6 to do the same and use CCleaner instead to clean cache from apps and so on...
to the guy who discover the guilty of the lag: i cant pay you a beer, but you will be my hero forever.
Not working for me unfortunately... Still quite a bit of lag playing heavier games like csr2, Rr3 (practically unplayable), hungry shark world ?
I've had the phone since September last year and I don't think I've used it for more than 10 times. It lags anyway. Lowering the resolution does wonders, but it has some bugs that I don't like so I've switched back to lag.

If you are rooted, I highly recommend installing the new Adreno 530 driver, there is a decent improvement in games and definitely in Antutu...
does this stil work as of now?
This reads like bull****. What is "smart cleaning"? Is it supposed to be an app? The instructions are super unclear.
Smart Doctor cannot be disabled either. You can just disable it running in the background.
