Guys I've observed stuttering while scrolling in play store on almost every ROM I tried multiple ROMs including TW, CM12 and GPE and I certainly think that it's not the ROM but the play store itself because I see same stuttering on my stock nexus 4 and 10 as well. I'm seeing the issue just recently from past 2-3 weeks. Initially I thought it's the ROM but it's there on almost every ROM I tried. You just need to scroll on the play store home page to experience the issue I'm referring. The scrolling isn't smooth as or used to be. Similar issue is there in Google+ as well.
Is anyone else suffering from same issue and if yes, do you have any solution to suggest? Thanks in advance.

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.....

When I'm playing video from the built in player or MX Player is runs smooth all the time. Youtube app has the real problem! When you are playing from youtube runs smooth on you phone?

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!
Tried Naked Pro, Boat, Maxthon, Dolphin, all of them other than Chrome and Stock browser are lagging really badly after upgrading to 4.3, I mean while scrolling. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one to notice this. What's the reason? Hardware acceleration been disabled somehow? Or what?

Have not heard of it, mine is ok.
Found this https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/5wX3SXiuxDc not saying that is related, but it might be.
I doubt yours is okay. Anyway thanks for that article, I believe that's correct, there's definitely some problem with Android 4.3 and Hardware Acceleration! Today I noticed the same lag on some other apps too, like when opening a long email with lots of pictures it lags too!
Something is wrong, but I don't know how what was very good on 4.2.2 got totally crapped up on 4.3!
Any fixes for this?

I have this issue too. Apparently it affects not only just browsers, but just anything that uses a WebView to display content. Feedly for example, is very choppy after the update.
I read here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500128&page=2) that our S4 should get an update that fixes this.
for me, when i open a news in Flipboard it causes some lag when i scroll the page. =/
in s-browser is ok, and dolphin too. i tried to activate/deactivate the hw aceleration, but didn't work. let's wait for a patch.
i'm using MJ8 from russia, with the 4.2.2 bootloader, rooted, with all knox crap apps freezed in titanium backup pro..
Same problem i thought i was the one now i realize that quite a few people having same problem
any remedies ?
It's solved with MJ9.

Hi,
I have had 4.3 for a week now (in UK) and not had or noticed any issues. In fact to me seemed a lot faster and smoother.
Hi,
Since upgrading to 4.4 I'm experiencing stutter/jitter on YouTube videos.
I've tried factory wiping the device and it's the same, I've flashed the SinLessROM and it's the same. Only 4.3 didn't have the issue.
Is anyone else experienced this and is there a solution??
Thanks!
EDIT:
I would like to gather some data of units having/not having this issue respectively to see if I can isolate the cause:
If possible, please can you supply the following information:
1) How you upgraded to 4.4 (OTA, sideload, custom build of official 4.4. ROM, etc)
2) Are you using stock/custom kernel (if custom, which one?)
3) If you factory reset/wiped at any stage
4) Version of YouTube app
5) Link to an HD YouTube video that you can play without any stutter (it may be I/we are just choosing 'bad' videos)
I was using this video for testing and get the stutter on the device, so fi you can play this video as well and report back that would be great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v2L2UGZJAM
Thanks guys!
Just checked and mine seems to not be as smooth as it was before as well.
Somewhat related, I have the LG Nexus 7 phone with everything stock on it and the YouTube app despite buffering the video properly, still plays back the video a bit stuttery. I'm running the KitKat OS on it as well. The same videos play fine using the browser but the quality isn't as good (pixelization), despite it being HQ. They also play fine using Freedi YT player at the same quality as the app.
I thought I was the only one until I saw this thread! Pretty sloppy work from Google.
It's running great for me. I have ART enabled, give that a try and see it the problem persists.
Mmm I tried that too but it's still the same. Looking around a bit more people seem to have had issues with some versions of the YouTube app doing this in the past. What version do you have may I ask??
Are other video players effected as well?
Same problem here
Just finished updating to 4.4 Kit Kat. Fired up YouTube and noticed jittery/frames issue before seeing this thread. It's not a huge problem but it's definitely not as smooth prior to update. Warning for heavy youtube users maybe wait out on updating? It's only a little annoying short second jitters here and there.
My youtube is up to date with latest version installed. Lets hope youtube releases an update for Kit Kat OS.
My overall first impressions with Kit Kat so far is that it does feel snappier with the app drawer scrolling, multi-task switcher and touchscreen responsiveness. I'm a heavy Clash Of Clans player so I instantly knew and feel the difference right away.
I have an Ipad Air, Ipad mini (1st gen) and this nexus 7. I'm very happy with the touchscreen pinch to zoom improvement in this update. The screen definitely feels close to par with the ipad screens now. Not a fan boy or anything because I enjoy both iOS and Android!

If you're lucky enough not to be having any issues, can you post the following information so I can see if I can find the root cause of the 'problem'?
1) How you upgraded to 4.4 (OTA, sideload, custom build of official 4.4. ROM, etc)
2) If you factory reset/wiped at any stage
3) Version of YouTube app
4) Link to an HD YouTube video that you can play without any stutter (it may be I/we are just choosing 'bad' videos)
Thanks very much to anyone that can help with this!

Yes that's fine, I live in Holland so even the mediocre connection I have is 60mbps Down / 6mbps Up - it's not a buffering type of stutter but more of an issue with the decoding and rendering of the video. Like a driver is not optimised correctly or there is a memory bottleneck.

Thanks for the info, will check it out when I'm home. I was going to wipe and flash that ROM anyway, so I'll check that specific video and see what the results are like. I appreciate the response, now I have something to work with as a base! :good:

Sorry for the question, but english it´s not my mother tongue(from Spain). When you say sttuter, you mean in image & sound, image only or sound only?
I have a N7 2013 with 4.4 and want to test this.
Thank you very much. Regards.

My fault, I should have said! It is actually just the video that stutters for me. The audio plays perfectly. It just jitters slightly with the video, like it 'sticks' briefly especially during panning shots.
I'm fairly new the Nexus Player. In fact I just got mine today. So far I'm really liking it. However I recently updated to Android Lollipop 5.1.1 and have noticed scrolling issues. Seems like every time I scroll through the Google Play store or Google Movies and TV app about every five or so tiles it'll skip back three. It's very irritating. Not sure if it's a bug or not. Anybody else notice this and if so how did you go about fixing it ?
Edit: NVM after further reading of posts on this topic this seem to indeed be a weird glitch/bug reportedly for anyone using android lollipop 5.0 and above that hasn't been fixed by Google as of yet

I have been using Android N preview 3 since it was released. It seems sometimes that my Nexus 6p will slowdown and lag. As well as random reboot. It almost seems like there is a memory leak of some sort. I find it start getting bad when using Chrome browser, which I am using the latest build of. But it could be something else. Anyone else having similar problems?
I've had it pretty bad when I leave Snapchat running in the background

As N is in beta and for development purposes only you should expect it to not work right. Issue a bug report. It's what Google wants you to do. It's the whole purpose of the beta process.
I realize that and I have provided feedback to Google about it. I was also asking the community if they had related issues as I am.
Over the past two days, I started getting some random reboots. Clearing the cache in recovery seems to have addressed the issue for me.
It's worth a try just to see if the random reboots disappear.
Thank you I just tried it. Forgot about that trick lol
