Hello everybody I recently got the Galaxy S3 Neo (I9301I version). The phone is very nice and smooth despite ine thing. The status bar has an annoying lag. Right after a reboot it doesnt lag but few hours after it starts to. If I keep pulling it down quickly for a couple of times it starts moving more smoothly. Is there a way to fix this? It's annoying having a phone which scores about 10'000 on Quadrant and almost 20'000 on Antutu that lags in a a small thing like this.

hello,
i'm getting crazy with this annoying micro stuttering and occasional lagging. it's happening everywhere - home screens, app drawer, settings, apps like xda and tapatalk. it's not major, but it's enough to be seen and to drive me nuts. i tried stock KK, Cloudy stock 2.5 and Cloudy G3. i also tried several kernels - stock, bruce Kernel and Dorimanx. i also tried tons of different settings for cpu governor and hotplugging; i tried the lag mod which have to remove the scrolling lag - it seams that nothing is helping. i tried with and without Greenify (to avoid a lot of resident apps), i also tried both Dalvik and Art - nothing. the slight lag is there - and it's just that - slight stutter, few frames dropped - enough to make you think that some setting will kill it finally. but no matter what i try, that slight lag and stutter is still there. can you give me some suggestions - i'm coming from Galaxy S3, which i used with Beanstalk rom - i experienced 0 lag and stutter and i cannot believe that i see that in a phone like the G2, given the powerful processor and the 2 gb of ram.
please help me not to get insane with that phone

I've only got 550mb of ram free and my phones flying. Not even a little bit of lag. But for the first week or so after re flashing the stock Rom I did get all that lag you were describing. Even after I debloated, flashed Bruce's and did every other mod you can think of. It ended up going away on it's own after a while. Maybe you just need to stick with one setup and let your phone settle.
You can use beanstalk on the g2 as well, if you were interested in going that route again.
I have the same issue. In games it lags and stutters just enough to put you off the game. I have noticed some videos do this as well like youtube. I am still testing this but I am reluctant to spend any time on it as it has a clear issue when other lower spec'd phones run the same games fine. Basic games as well. It is subtle, but the stutter is there. On some games it's can even be a full 1 or 2 second complete lag and game halt. I tried the CPU throttle option in hidden menus and this did nothing.
Can this be hardware problem? I phone LG and the support agent was extremely unhelpful. He said that it would be sent for repair and they will not play games, only flash it and run a test. I'm concerned this will be a classic case of "there was no fault found" and it will be a complete saga for ages. I already had this before with a different phone (different problem) and I'm fed up with phone problems.
Mine is from Vodafone UK store bought. I am tempted to try stock UK firmware to see if this fixes. Shouldn't have to though.... I also might end up trying a custom ROM to see if it goes away. I absolutely love the phone otherwise. I just want it to work.
PS: It runs benchmarks fine with high scores.
ok i don't wont to bore you with details but heres list of stuff that (almost)suddenly happened to my nexus 4 !
1.MX Player lags a little and many videos won't work with H/W anymore ! make weird noise or quit instantly !
2.my phone sometimes gets so hot on full brightness , it didn't use too!
3.my phone lags ! it used to be buttery smooth
4.camera stops working on all of apps and requires rebooting ! (sometimes phone reboots on instagram) my camera also makes weird click noise ! mostly when i open camera ! (my ears are also sensitive to sound but i never heard it before !)
5.my volume down sometimes doesn't work !
6. Google chrome weird graphic glitches ! mostly when showing all tabs !
7. i don't know if its still like that but when i wasn't home google chrome made horrible weird lag when scrolling !
8. i guess battery life is a little bit shorter !
9.when i connected a low amp charger to my phone it suddenly got super-slow so i disconnected it instantly, its not lagging anymore (i mean the lag that it took my phone 5 seconds to react to my touch ! the lag i mentioned before is not that huge!)
also i see shade of chrome bar and some other stuff
i took screenshot and there's no shade on screenshot
Bump ;( i don't want to sell it like that to someone!
Re: Phone behaving weird !
What Android OS are you using that is causing all these problems? Did you do anything new to your Nexus before these problems happened?
Hello guys!))
I am running android CM12 android 5. Before installing this I had omnirom 4.4 and that was also lagging horribly so had uninstalled that and then applied the CM12 android 5. I had followed all the instructions to the exact point -flashed,cleared cache data etc all correctly.
First few days it ran satisfactorily but then again started to crawl down horribly.
I must mention that my tablet had a bad fall a year back and the screen is having multiple spiderwebbed cracks but working 100% correctly (thanks gorilla glass!) So is it possible the cpu suffered something because of it? I think that is unllikely though because of how perfectly it performs sometimes, no problems in flashing etc.
Now let me describe how exactly it is lagging.
The apps slow down to a crawl. Multiple seconds delay in input after that. Delay in switching apps too. I can try ramping up the speed to 1.4Ghz (by repetedly pressing the apply button in CPU speed app because of the input lag) and then it works smoothly then for sometime. I think once or twice i noticed that the cpu speed while working had slowed down to 300+Mhz something ..... so is that the reason for the lag? The cpu speed is normally 384Mhz - 1.0/1.2Ghz , i dont mess with it often. Oh, and it sometimes restarts by itself randomly too..like after like few seconds of hanging.
I cant browse properly, cant read books smoothly, cant even switch menus and apps properly...it's a total killjoy experience :'(
I have already formatted to factory three times before this but the problem returns after few days or weeks. Have also done f2fs formatting. I miss the days of butter smooth honeycomb& ICS experience....
Please help me to get out of this problem. It's not a simple rom problem i thinK? :'(
I have a pretty minimal bunch of apps installed, and yet when I pull the notification shade down, there is lots of stutter, and seconds-long delay when I try and swipe a notification away. As I use the shade to manage my incoming notifications all day long, this is extremely frustrating on such a new phone.
Anyone else finding this? Any ideas?
Yes me too and it's typical Samsung. Going back to pixel.
I have weird lag on notification and facebook until I take out the accessibility service like enpass autofill. once i have done that, everything runs smoothly.
Same here - I did uninstall a bunch of game and other apps, and since then the problem has gone. Phew. Kinda annoying it's really difficult to pinpoint what app is causing the issue...

YES! Having the same issue with notification shade and also the multitasking view when flipping through apps. I can't figure out what's causing it. For me changing screen resolution fixes it every time until it starts happening again.
I don't have any accessibility services running so not sure that's it. Anybody have any ideas of culprits? I have quite a few apps installed but not sure what could be causing this issue
Same here.
No lag at all.
I wonder how many people experience these things have rooted or something?
I've not had any issues with my S8 since I've had it.
Very strange.
Everyone has different apps, data and usage. You could give me your phone and I would wipe and use it and it would lag. That's the reality
Same problem and same resolution : switching performance profile via edge pan
I just got an update on Verizon S8 - the red tint fix or whatever but so far this has fixed my stutter problem. I'm hoping it lasts but by now I would have seen stutter and it's still very smooth. Crossing my fingers
Bittersweetly glad to see others are having the same issue. I first noticed it when I upped the screen res from FHD to QWHD, so I switched back and that seemed to help for a few days. But, it did creep back. I performed a factory reset, but I don't think that's a permanent fix, either. Occasional reboots seem to stave it off, too. I would really like to get to the heart of the problem. FWIW, I'm on a Snapdragon S8+ on T-Mobile, unrooted. Outside this hiccup, really enjoying the phone.
anyone noticed that when you swipe up to the app drawer, there is a hint of stutter/lag? Thats the only annoying thing for me at the moment.. Everything else seems to be ok!!
If your phone is rooted and you have a custom kernel running, you can see why this happens. Install kernel auditor and drag down the status bar, you can see that the cpu goes up a bit. If you increase the minimum cpu (both big and little) to 1 value higher than what you saw when you dragged it down before then this should fix the issue however I assume it will affect battery life but not sure to how much, you'll have to do some testing.
Hi all,
I bought G6 a few days ago(was using G2 3 years) and i noticed that phone lag/stutter so much while i scroll in instagram,chrome and every app where you can scroll. Also the stuttering is very noticeable in settings/apps,when i scroll down through list of apps. Opening and closing apps is fine,multitasking is fine but when it comes to scrolling (especially in instagram) the phone lags pretty much. It is really strange becouse even my g2 dont have problems with scrolling and fps drops. I tried force gpu rendering in developers options , tried disabling hw overlays and still didnt help. Tried hard reset on oreo - didnt help,Installed fulmics rom,melina kernel,but the problem still persist. It is really frustrating that this phone has such fps drops when scrolling..
Does anyone has such problems? I really need help,and i am really disappointed in this phone. Thanks
