YouTube APP Video Playback lags - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody I have a pretty annoying issue with my brand new note 3 (n9005).
With the newest YouTube app update all the videos are lagging no matter what quality... is this a problem with the newest update? Could anybody test and confirm?? On my note 2 and my girlfriends s3 everything is smooth... The most time I am using force GPU rendering so I tried it with this option enabled and disabled but its the same. With other apps like supertube or of YouTube videos seem smoother...
This is a good video to test:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk
At the beginning when river is coming there is lag and also when jumping rope at around 04:20 for example...
The question is how such a beast with a snap800 can even lag? o.0
I even have some lag especially scrolling lag in different apps... Is it possible that some apps aren't compatible to the new proccesor yet??
Any feedback appreciated thx

nope no lag what so ever sorry mate , are you rooted

Ah sry forgot to mention^^
Not rooted everything stock... The whole Knox thing is keeping me away at The Moment...
I also seem to have the multi touch issue... This is so annoying... Never had issues with my older notes 1,2 and 10.1...
I also had to return it because of the crackling home button... Just got it back and now this... Really dont want to send it back again...

[Q] ATT S4, Feels choppy ?

I'm not sure if there is too much crap in the default kernel, or if the cpu is being underclocked somewhere. But this 'feels' choppier to me then the S3 ever did which should not be the case. I can be in facebook and just scrolling along and poof .5 sec lag then it jumps ahead of where I wanted to go, and I am seeing this all over. Even in the play store installing apps. Suggestions ?

Yeah my note 2 feels smoother at stock BUT the S4 is smoother than my note 2 with any custom rom. Very odd.

Note 2 stock uses full potential of exynos. Custom Roms doesnt since exynos source not released

And that sucks it kindof got me rethinking about purchasing this at the moment with all these lag threads everywhere
The htc one is smoother but it has zero features. I still like the s4 with or without lag.

Guys just give it a minute. They could release an OTA update that fixes it. Remember it's 4.2.x not all apps are meant for it.

I personally want to thank all of the Guinea Pigs for helping to sort through all of the early release issues so mine will be a much better experience when I finally buy it.
I'm sure its do to apps not being optimized for it yet. I looked at what was using all of my memory and there was my good ole xda premium app at the top of the list. Lol. My one I had felt faster but I say give it time. I remember my note 2 had a couple updates within the first month or two. I could care less BC I live this phone.

Turn on power savings and see if it is snappier. It feels to me like it is. Very odd but maybe its just me.

Thank God it's not just me. I just exchanged the One that I bought on the 23rd for the S4 today and noticed a bunch of lag. Kind of upsetting. All the reviews I watched there was no lag at all. The One and the S4 have the same chip but the One is clocked at 1.7. Doesn't make any sense that it's snappier than the S4. I REALLY hope I don't regret my decision because the One I had was very good quality control wise..
I've noticed a bit of a slow down when unlocking from the lock screen and opening the app drawer. Nothing major but pretty annoying. The One I traded in today had nothing like that. Oh well.

I also experience lag on my gs4. Not terrible, but my gs3 is faster in everyday use.
It's gotta be able to be fixed through an update right? If it's happening to all of us..
My international exynos I9500 has a bunch of lag also so don't feel bad guys. My guess is that it has to do with the 4.2 Jellybean. That version is pretty much optimized for the Nexus 4 (which I had) and had almost zero lag. That was probably the snappiest android device I've used along with the Note 2.
The HTC One is still on 4.1 so my guess once it's updated to 4.2 it will lag just the same until the overlays are optimized for it (Sense and TW).
In this meantime it's kinda bullsh1t that a phone with this much power still has more lag than a prior gen Galaxy S3.
I use a note 2 and I see the lag in the s4. A new "flagship" device shouldn't have this much lag on it even with all the bloat... The s3 didn't even lag like this which is kinda sad.

Note 3 sm-n9005 Everywhere stattering

Hello! I've bought 3 days ago the note 3 and the first thing I noticed is that everywhere in the OS i experience (I think this is called..) stuttering! Everywhere except video playing through build in video player I see stuttering. In browser, games, apps, scrolling and worse of all Youtube! The video is like skipping frames. The sound is good but the video is not at all smooth! I enabled developer tools and enabled the setting to show me gpu usage in bars. When I experience statturing the usage of the gpu instantaneously is full and then back to normal.I've tried reseting phone removing my sd card and when the phone was only with the factory installed apps I updated youtube app and played a video and again the same even in non HD videos.... >:-X I've read somewhere to enable gpu accelaration in 2d apps neither this worked.. I've also noticed that in antutu benchmark. When the benchmark was in 3d test although the fps was around 40-60fps the image was not smooth at all! IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS! Does anyone else have the same problem with me? It is something that the average user want bother him too much and he can live with it but for me is the worst thing! I paid 750euros for the device and I want it to run smoothly at least the most of the times..! Before this device I had the note 2 and I didn't have ANY of these problems! I mean not even 1 of them! If this is not something I did wrong and it is samsung problem then it is anacceptable! What can I do?
you got a problem i would take it back cause mine is fine.
My Note3 is silky smooth fast even with high bit rate high definition video. You must have a fault and I would get it exchanged ASAP.

Definitely something wrong there. My Mega 6.3 didn't suffer from stuttering but Note 3 still feels super fast after that.
Eh eh
i love this HUGE Problematic posts that someone with zero posts apperas in android forums suddenly after sammy releases... really fun & great posts i love them
Thank you
Thank you all very much for all the responses! I called samsung and they told me that they don't know something about this and they will search for the issue and call me back after 3 business days.....

I watch YouTube videos all the time, no issues whatsoever. Try clearing cache/reinstalling youtube etc..
To OP: Either you have some really rogue app running in the background, or your phone is defective. I have none of these issues on my Note3 and I've had it since 25th of September.
Same issues here just did a system reset and will bring it back tomorrow if still the same. Very disappointed ofcourse!

I guess that my phone is defective. As I said in previous post I've reset the phone. I've cleaned the cache and reinstall it bebore reseting it. But the problem is not only on youtube. It is in almost all apps excluding build in video player. Now if I have to give it back and get a new one should I go to Samsung service or the store I've bought it? And one question more. If the phone is from a telephone company is there a chance the OS could be damaged from them. Are they touching the software before get it to the market? Because I've noticed that after every reset the first time I open Safari the start page is Vodafone. I've bought it without contract. Is there any possibility that all these happens for this reason?
Thank you all!
They finally changed my phone! At first they told me that this is a minor issue and they don't know if they could change the device for this...... :laugh: Hahahaha in their dreams...........! I went to they store manager and I make him take my device and compare it with the store's demo device.. Finally he gave me a new one.. :victory: And it's working perfectly!!!! I really love it! I was very dissapointed at first with the other device because I was thinking that maybe that's how the phone is or I should be waiting for an update to fix their issue... :silly: Thank you all for your responses! You were very helpful! I'm very happy to belong in your forum community and from now on I will be very happy to help where ever I know my help!

Note 3 performance: is there any lag?

I read a couple of reviews saying that touchwiz stutters here and there on the Note 3. Can anyone who has the phone speak on this? Thanks!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
Where exactly is "here and there"? I would like to check that to answer your question better.
But i personally don't see any stutter or lag in touchwiz. The only thing i can remember that stutters badly, but very very badly, completely unusable, is the gallery. It's just terrible. Downloading the Gallery ICS from the store, and the thing flies.
I have the N-9005 version btw.
I haven't noticed any stuttering at all.
No lag but I want faster response time. Note 3 touch response time a bit faster than Note 2, slower than S4.

^^ non so far either, i got like 5 apps on it and have been using it heavily all day.
Gallery lags, get QuickPic instead. There is sometimes a stutter or screen touch response when hitting the home and apps button. Micro stutter almost. Browser sometimes has stutters.
I'm comparing to another Snapdragon device the G2 and touchwiz is not as smooth as LG's launcher and the G2 screen is more responsive to touches.
Its better than my S4's octalag out of the box. Thats for sure. But not 100% lag free unfortunately more like 97% lagfree. Close but no cigar

I think it's acceptable then. As far as the home button lag it usually is because of S voice. Disable it and you should see a big improvement.

It's pretty smooth , only some frame drops in some apps and sometimes animations stutter.
I'm pretty "lag sensitive" and coming from an iPhone I have to say that it's probably one of the smoothest.

do you have a tutorial to do this?
I have a stock Note 3, and swiping between homescreens is smooth. Lag (jank/hitches/stutter) occurs when scrolling in the browser (some sites perform better than others - but even the sites that perform poorly on the Note 3 perform great on iOS). Scrolling in the ScrapBook is not smooth - very janky/jittery. Same thing with Google Play (the main screen). Scroll and it jitters and stutters a lot. Even does strange screen refreshes at odd times. Scrolling HTML emails stutters (again, some scroll more smoothly than others, but most stutter).
It depends on how sensitive you are to jank.
I am bit disappointed overall. It's not as smooth as my s4, and my nexus 7 2013 is faster and smoother. For example, scrolling home screens is a bit jerky. Native apps can be a little slow to open, say when on the settings menu and making changes and it goes to a sub screen. Makes me realise what a great buy the N7 2ed is.

No lag here n9005 .. no lag in the gallery.. in fact its the fastest gallery I ever seen
Had some occasional lag when I was on MI7 but everything is buttery smooth with the latest MJ7!
Man my phone was released a month ago. I expect lag/software glitches. Early adopters are always mass market beta testers. The hardware specs are proof that all lag is software related. Personally mine runs impressively smooth.

That's interesting, because my Gallery is completely unusable. It's so slow and laggy i can't use it. I have installed a couple of 3rd party gallery and they are all much much faster (Quickpick and ICS Gallery).
How is this possible?!

i9505 lag as hell

Hi yall!
Just got my gs4/9505 it has version 4.3

Like dead trigger 2 and others...
I had before that an iPhone 5 and lg g pro

Anyone has the same problem as I do with the 9505?
Or even with the 9500 octa?

I don't play that games, but reasons for lags could be many. Some video games are not optimized for all drivers / GPUs.
Samsung's phones are so filled with bloat I wonder they work at all. This with knox is a totally new dimension. I always root, and at least remove everything I don't need and/or go AOSP/CM as soon as I can.
Back to your problem. Activate developer options, by tapping Build Number (Settings - about phone.). There you'll find options 'force GPU rendering' and 'disable HW overlays'. Play with these and see if it helps.

Serious.
Its a shame that the adreno 320 cant handle / not optimized
For games...with my older nexus4 I had no problems
Maybe because the high resulotion instead of 720p...
I play that game on High settings and never experienced a lag. Make sure you have turned Off Power Save Mode and give Antutu a try to know what's going on with your phone.
Im not on psm and for instance Dead trigger 2 is lagging on high settings.
My os is 4.3 XXUMK9 and antutu gives me 29663pts

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?

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.
