I have both and I expected the Nexus to be faster. But overall. The GSIII seems faster. Both are on stock. I'm wondering who else feels this way if they have this combination?

1.The Tegra 3 processor in Nexus 7 is not as fast as Galaxy S3's Exynos 4412 quad core.
2.Nexus 7 runs on android 4.2.1,more resources consumed in the background thanks to the new features implemented by google.
3.Project butter is more of smoothness at a constant fps,the ui does not perform at high frames.
I believe it is due to 4.2/4.2.1 more than because of the processor. 4.1.1/4.1.2 were really fast and smooth....
Also, 2gb of ram helps make things faster.

But 2GB RAM is only in the U.S/N.America versions of the S3 that run Snapdragon dual core processors. The Euro Exynos S3's that run quad core have 1GB RAM.
My Evo 4G LTE is faster than my Nexus too, in terms of UI.
Well, the GSIII is also twice the price? Be happy that you have 2 decent android devices

I have both devices, but SGS3 is not stock anymore (stock kernel, though - so far). I guess it's greater fluidity and responsiveness is somewhat expected. What I notice a lot is screen density difference (GS3>N7, ofc), particularly on text. I also enjoy AMOLED saturated colours, let them be false, I don't care. GS3 is awesome, and was way more expensive where and when I got it then Nexus 7, so I guess it's only fair.
I have been using nexus 4 since 2 days now. I am on stock no root. To me it feels as if t scrolling speed is not as smooth as I found it to b on other devices like s3, i5, note etc.
The speed seems slow whether I m scrolling t web pages or inside any app.
Anyone else feel t same....I think its a ROM thing. Kindly suggest for improving t same....

Yeah same thing I thought the instance I got my n4...scrolling thru xda and pages was laggy...
So I rooted unlocked boot loader and flashed pa3.0 and that problem was fixed...
I still feel like scrolling on my s3 is a bit smoother

It's a ROM from moles. Located in the original development section. You would have to be rooted with unlocked boot loader first.
WWW.nexus4root.com follow those instructions if you want to root

It's only the two of you.
Sorry.
But seriously, you'll probably not notice after a few weeks using the n4. I can't remember how my previous devices were anymore and just enjoy my n4 stock.
When I got my n4, first thing I noticed is that how fast it was compared to s3 and iphone 5 like.
But if your browser is chrome then I can understand the lag. Try any other browser. Can't be worse than chrome.
Lightning browser is the best one for the noobs.
In terms of apps everything is faster on this phone. You must be doing something wrong.
This is easily the fastest device I've ever used, and I'm just on a rooted stock ROM with a few colour tweaks.
I agree that t phone is much much faster but what I am experiencing is the lag or slow speed when I scroll let's say contacts, xda app, chrome etc. I hope you understand my problem....
And I feel that not everyone is experiencing the same issue.,..

My phone is the same way, and the touchscreen can be pretty unresponsive at times. I feel like there's a decent amount of occasional lag when I'm scrolling through home screens or opening the applications. Definitely could be faster, I'm considering an RMA.
I dont think its a hardware issue ....so need not worry bout RMA. Yupp but looking for a software enhancement ......

I have used the phone for 2 days and it just seems more laggy than the note 2. The note 2 is crispy especially when switching between apps.

Yes. I have noticed this as well. Last weekend I purchased a HTC One, the reception was very poor compared to the Note 2, also seemed to have a bit of lag. I took it back immediately.
Then, I outright bought the Galaxy S4 and am debating taking it back because of the lag. I wonder if it has something to do with 1080 vs 720 screen resolution processing?

My best guess the is the s4 software was a rush job. They didn't expect to have to use the snapdragon 600 processor and so they didn't have time to fully optomize it the best they could. The soc is more than powerful enough. However, i think with in the the next month or so an update will completely clear that up. The same thing happened to the s3.

That is true, with an update it will help regulate the system a little better. I do too remember that with the SIII i didnt have it then but i knew a few people who did have it. The lag isnt BAD but i think to much runs in the background and sucks the ram up I feel as if i need a task killer for some of the background crap. Plus with the awesome dev selection coming here and once tweaks start cracking out im sure it will be all gone
What I did was install trickstermod, change the governor from on demand to interactive, up the read ahead from 256 to 1024, change scheduler to deadline, and turn off zram.. and this thing is running like butter. And I'm getting amazing battery life

I see two settings for the CPU Governor... You just changed the one under the General section correct. Or did you also change the Governor setting under the Specific sections as well?
EDIT: NVM the one under Specific section is for the GPU... misread it the first time I looked at the settings.
This seems odd to me. I had an S3 tweaked to optimal performance, and the S4 completely stock still blazes in comparison.
I don't have a single sliver of lag, I go from app to app in a heartbeat, and my roommate has a Note 2 as well and the S4 is still smoother.
Very weird, this is one beast of a phone haha. There is literally nothing better at the moment since it came out so early in the year!
I'm sure any issues you have will disappear in a second once kernel development gets going!

What do you consider to be "lag"? The S4 does lag. That's all there is to it. Not as much as my EVO LTE does but it still does. Especially compared to the HTC One. But I'd rather have a little lag as opposed to the negatives with HTC, Sense, and the One.

I'm sure you know all about my phone.
My phone doesn't stutter in the slightest, it does not ever freeze up even for a second, everything opens and close immediately, multi tasking works flawlessly, there is literally nothing on it that doesn't work flawlessly. It has a processor that's already excessively powerful for just a phone.
As other people have said, some people may be having lag solely due to software, and the consensus is that the latest firmware updates took care of the minor issues people were having. I've had an android phone from every generation starting with the G1 and I can say that my phone, the one in my hand, does not lag at all, while all others had plenty of lag decreasing exponentially through generations.
I am running AOSP though, and not the stock TW though and have been since it came out, so I can't give a respectable opinion on the current state of the stock rom.

The S4 is a better investment. HTC is on the brink of going out of business. The S4 will receive constant updates for the next 2 years where that's always been a challenge with HTC phones.

I have all 3 devices the S3 S4 and Note 2 and the S4 is way smother than all. I have zero lag as well. Maybe those that do should try a hard reset just a thought.

I've noticed this in every version of the s4 using a snapdragon 600 I've seen. Some will come out of the box fine others tend to lag. To the op I'd give the one another shot. I think your the only person whose had lag issues, so you probably got a dud unit.

Weird. I noticed lag on the display model at Sprint, on my brothers S4 right after he purchased his, and on mine right after purchasing my S4. My brother also claims his device doesn't lag the slightest bit but it clearly did while I was testing his out. Maybe some of us are super-human and can detect a higher FPS in the 'ol noggin. Lol. Who knows.

Runs fine here... is it possible its rate limited? Does it run faster then that anywhere?

Im not sure my girls HTC One runs it smoother although at the same FPS
I noticed this also. Grabbed it for 2 bucks and noticed it lagging a decent amount.

Yeah, it shouldnt be considering she has the same gpu in her phone as ours.
Seemed to me like Dead Trigger was a little laggy on high settings. I don't have anything to compare it to but with a lot of zombies it seemed slower than without. Of course it was still very playable.
Anyone noticed this or is it my fingers? I have been using Swype on my last 3 phones since the alpha was first released. I can't say that I had 100% accuracy but compared to my s3 which I abandoned 1,5 months ago, I can say that word recognition accuracy dropped to 50% if it was on s3 around 80%.
Here are some examples:
Word - Weird
Other - Otter
Worse - Wise
For - fur , fir
That - tat
Plus many otter cases. I know that if I try several times at much slower speed, I will succeed but I have to do it reeerally slow.

I reported it to them and they said they see no issue at all and that I should uninstall/reinstall.
However I believe it has to do with the new HD display of s4. I think they have to tweak their algorithm in regards to hd display but they should know better. Sometimes I'm about to abandon it but something tells me to give some more time
