Anyone else suffering from lag/freezing up whilst playing subway surfer or any other games on their s4?
Played it on my note 2 with no issues! During a run it will lag or freeze up for a second usually making me crash into something
Makes going for high scores pointless as I know it will just lag and get me game over.
Reason I'm asking on here all the reviews for current version with my device are positive not a single mention of any lag.. Could it be the phone?

go to developer options and enable "Force 4x MSAA"
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!
Hello everyone
Because i have found some phones used s820 (ZF3D/Pixel/mate 9 pro) playing game(whitecat project) without lag
some of the phones can set certain app to low resoltuion like htc 10 & mate 9 pro and it improves the performance.
so i want to ask is there any chance for v20 to reduce resolution from 2k to 1080p or 720p
thx
Have you tried the Game Batter Saver? One of the options within that Reduces the resolution for either all games or you can customize which game(s) get this battery saving feature.
Go to Settings>Battery and Power Saving>Game Battery Saver (Hit the 3 Dots . . . right next to the toggle to get all the options)
Otherwise I believe you can ADB push some commands to reduce the Density...I do not know the command though from memory.
As stated above, enable Game Battery Saver will let you play games in 1080P or 720P ( not sure which )
If you wanna change the whole phone to 1080P, you'll need SU access, and as a matter of fact I don't suggest you do that at all, LG stock ROM crashes when running 1080P.
Anyway, here's the command, run it in a terminal
su
wm size 1080x1920
wm density 480

Glad it worked out for ya!
I'm messing around with the wm size and wm density commands because when I dock my v20 on a huge monitor the space is useless if I don't at least change the dpi. I came upon this thread because I was looking for a list of v20 resolutions that include the second screen, since if you do not include it in the resolution you get useless black boxes at the sides of your screen, since you need to account for extra space of the second screen. I realize the person who originally asked the question doesn't care about changing the resolution anymore, but for anyone else who does I wanted to explain this and say to try 1080x 2080 if you're looking for 1080x1920, due to the extra screen area. This accounts for 160 extra pixels and it all fits perfectly on my monitor. I actually can't wait to get to work to try this on one of our picky office monitors that will always reject my HDMI out because of it's odd resolution.
So in summary, V20 main screen resolution = Hx(W+160) = wm size 1080x2080 or adb shell wm size 1080x2080 if you're remote controlling the phone via adb rather than typing the command directly on the phone, which I like to do.

Thanks for your information.
If I want to rever to the original resolution, which command I should run.
I've tried with wm size 1440×2560 and wm density 513 but there is still a black space in the screen.
Thank you!

If you want pubg to perform well, than you need to exclude the application from battery save list.
In Setting - General - Gaming, you can have some options there.

i want to improve the performance, since modern gaming like pubg lags a lot after several minutes playing. my cousins s7e with same sd820 have better performance because he had option for 1080p/720p on display setting

why would we need to exclude. from what i read battery saver give us choice to reduce the resolution, that should boost the performance right?
If you want to change the resolution to FHD you can try at 1080x2080 so there is no blank screen at the bottom then change DPI.
But the secondary screen will be funny.
That's odd that PUBG is lagging for you, I can try to download it and test on my v20....me and a friend played together fine before both using cheap budget honor 6x phones with way less strong specs than the v20 has, you'd figure the flagship specced v20 could pretty much play any game flawless

Yes. A flagship like v20 should perform well. Unfortunately it doesn't on pubg. Even at the lowest setting it lags.
I tried asphalt 9, it worked flawlessly.

From what I understood from the posts on this thread and what is mentioned in settings, By adding PUBG to the list it will run at a lower resolution(and lower FPS if you want). It won't throttle performance of the game. So game should be able to run smoother if resolution of the display is decreased for a particular game.
As for decreasing the resolution, I found this setting available on lg V30 plus on Oreo. You could change resolution in the stock rom easily. Let's hope we get it in some future update.

To be honest I tried with/without the battery saver for game and issue is still the same.
I thought the issue would be resolved with Oreo updated but unfortunately not.
So I tried to change the screen resolution by wm size 720x1280 / wm size 1080x1920 and all of this doesn't work for PUBG Mobile

Lol that's sad. I was also waiting for Oreo update, hoping for the same. Maybe it will get fixed with some future PUBG update. No matter how much thermal throttling happens. LG v20 should be able to pubg without lag at least on the lowest settings, if it can run Ashphalt 9 without lag
I remember reading thermal throttling is an issue with the v20, supposedly only switching to a custom kernal will help. I've never personally done the whole custom rom thing so I couldn't help on that lol.
I'm honestly biding time until next month when oreo will supposedly come to the att/verizon version v20's...it's already out on the sprint variant iirc, some claim it made the v20 into a whole new phone and very smooth, others reported problems. I have noticed some major lag and hitching when waking the phone up from sleep or taking it off the charger first thing in the morning when I go to check notifications. I have a bit of soul searching to do on what my next phone shall be, people always swore the Pixels were good, I just don't know if the cheaper 32gb model would be enough for me...I suppose pics would be a non issue storage wise thx to google photos so maybe the 32gb and no sd card slot is possible to work out in the end.
I just know basically with the specs the v20 has being a slightly older flagship not even 2 years old yet, that it should perform better than it does, battery life has always been a bit blah too. I was busy yesterday so I didn't get a chance to DL PUBG but I'll do it now to test it. I've noticed little hitches and glitches/lag in daily uses here and there even with the animations and stuff set to 0.5x in the dev options. After a little reading online, many claimed doze is the source of lag on the v20, they claimed they got no better battery life using doze vs an old galaxy note 4 that didn't even have doze on its older OS.
is there a stable custom rom/kernal combo that's similar to vanilla android that would be easy to flash for a first time beginner? I'm willing to try that...I know you have to root the phone, unlock the bootloader, get the custom recovery, then DL and install the rom, I think that's it right...? I've watched a youtube vid before but I've never even had a flagship android previously, only budget/mid range phones, so...I never had one that could even be rooted/bootloader unlocked....
I heard all those 1 click cloud chinese based root apps will instantly compromise all the info on the phone so I'd never wanna use those
If you guys are having performance issues have you tried changing the thermal paste inside the phone? I changed mine out and the stock stuff was horrible. It was basically a dry crusted block. It's made a noticeable difference playing games. I haven't tried PUBG yet but I play Honkai impact 3rd and it runs flawlessly at low and mid resolution. If I out it on high it runs decent enough but it stutters more often especially with lot of action going on.
Also I'm running MK2000 BTTF custom kernel and it's made a big difference compared to stock kernel game wise.
Has anyone figured out why the LG game battery saver thing doesn't detect all games yet? It's very random. I've had plenty of games installed and it only detects my PPSSPP emulator app as a game lol nothing else. Ive tried clearing data on the battery saver apk and reinstalling stuff and it's very random. Think the last time I remember it detecting every single game I had properly was back on 10J arb0 firmware for my H918. Now I'm on 10u arb1 so I can't go back.
{{{EDIT}}}} for PUBG there is also this GFX app tool that let's you tweak PUBG setting a little more not sure if anyone has seen it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.tsoml.graphicssettings
@aakashverma0007
Just downloaded the game to try it out and the game ran fine on mine at these settings. It actually recommended medium but i bumped it up to high to see. It was perfectly playable. Played one game took like 10-15 minutes or so and then frame rate stayed a pretty stable 45-60. It only dipped below 30 in the pre game area when everyone was loading in to the game. In fact this runs better than my Xbox one does lol. The game saver thing was turned to base optimization as I couldn't get the custom setting to read any of my games.
By the way, it might have been just matchmaking issues idk but this game is ridiculously easy on mobile lol. I literally killed 15 people and won just sniping with the Tommy gun. I only played a few games but it seems people have an issue moving while aiming on mobile and I have never won a game on the Xbox lol
A week ago I got myself a s8 ,I have an iPhone 7 Plus and I’m so sick of having to deal with this size , it feels like a brick, plus I don’t like the “psysical button “ , I wanted to get rid of it so I gave the s8 a try , and so I did and I loved the design , the screen , the camera ( night shots are better than the iPhone 7 in my opinion ) but the performance is just awful , innaceptable for a flagship , choppy scrolling , the framerate skips like crazy sometimes , it just ... lags :/
I couldn’t believe it after reading the rave reviews , so it turns out that the European version has the Exynos cpu instead of the snapdragon 835 and the benchmarks don’t tell the whole story , I tried uninstalling unnecessary apps , deactivating bloat apps , deactivating the side panel , using nova launcher ( without using root or freezing apps or something like that , but it didn’t help , did you guys just get used to the lag ? :/ have you read that the performance on the note 8 is better (the example version of course ) and if it is , so you think it’s because of the extra ram ?
I’m hopeful that Samsung will make the performance better with the Oreo update but that update will probably come in December / January , what are we supposed to do until then ?
Coming from a Huawei Mate 9 and resently activating my note 8(snapdragon) it ain't much better. Nothing about this phone is butter smooth.
Will be getting mate 10 next month. First Samsung since note 3/4.
Not horrible but expected more with specs/company
I honestly don´t know what you are talking about. Maybe I just don´t notice it.
I know up to the Galaxy S6 the Samsung Flagships were always lagging like crazy with StockROMs, but at least since the S7 it´s smooth like other Flagships. (Always talking about Exynos)
Where do you experience the lag? I just checked Twitter, Menus and browser an couldn´t notice any
I use Nova Launcher, which definitely improves the experience a lot. Combined with changing animations to 0.5x it almost never feels laggy. I rarely switch back to TouchWiz to see if it has improved, but always end up going back to Nova. I also use Gboard instead of Samsung keyboard, which also feels snappier and has better prediction.

Same here ! No more lag with this setup
I have the dual SIM international version (Exynos) since around launch date. I don't recall any instances of lag. On rare occasions there is the odd app crash.
I have not used an iPhone for any length of time to be able to compare, but we have a couple of iPads, one of them is relatively new and when using it for general browsing, reading, etc, I don't feel that I get a markedly better or smoother experience. Both S8 and iPad just work very well.

I have an iphone 7 256gb Red Edition and my S8 is no more laggy than my iphone, yes iphone can lag too. BTW, iphone is for sale. You need to be more specific where you see lags if you want people to help. I get lag when scrolling on Piano Tiles 2 but that's because he's a ****ty developer but the game is awesome. Need way more details.
I have exynos version with custom rom and i have no lags. If you what have fone with no lags at all buy iPhone. Every android have Little lags and glitches.
DEVELOPER OPTIONS (see screenshot) transition animation speed 0.5x

To make it more snappy, go into developer options and set the transition speed to .5 instead of 1. That should make things seem to zip."
I've attached a screenshot, but my transition animation speed is still at default 1x (i.e., not the 0.5x recommendation).

its more like the screen "trembles" , they just don't feel smooth , it feels like the phone it's at its limit, it's just "choppy"
Facebook is a horrible app regarding optimization. I also noticed horrible lags there. Ended up uninstalling and i am now using it via chrome and its great. No lags, bettet battery etc.
I dont use twitter but instagram is fine on me no lags at all. As for playstore nothing can be done about it. It was always that way.

All of this + youtube hdr playback above 720p. Seriously it should be fixed or bye bye samsung this time.
P.S The ``tremble`` is called stuttering and if you search from google you will found tons of users having exactly the same issue. In my oppinion the exynos processor throttles a lot due to overheating. Cant proove it though cause am no specialist on this matter

Lets say i visit www.rt.com with the browser , as soon as the comments the advertisments appear , performance is halved and it sucks to browse in such a way.
No lag for me, if there was then I wouldn't have the phone, I am EXTREMELY demanding. But then I dont have **** apps like twitter and facebook that are VERY badly written and drain the battery like theres no tomorrow. I also use nova so cant comment on whether any lag might be touchwiz related, not used touchwiz since my S3.

Weird thing-- I'm using one of the YouTube background play-enabled apps.. God I wish I could remember which one, but I got it here. Has some theme options, using one with a back background. I experience absolutely no lag with 1440phdr with this app.. No such luck with the base Youtube app
After cleaning up as many services as possible with Package Disabler, the rest of my interface lag has vanished (even in TouchWiz)
Last couple days have seemed like I have finally found the device the S8 is supposed to be, buried under the inefficient bloat and bogus it ships with.. Of course, I'm on the 835, so this may not have meant anything to begin with haha

A week ago I got myself a s8 ,I have an iPhone 7 Plus and I’m so sick of having to deal with this size , it feels like a brick, plus I don’t like the “psysical button “ , I wanted to get rid of it so I gave the s8 a try , and so I did and I loved the design , the screen , the camera ( night shots are better than the iPhone 7 in my opinion ) but the performance is just awful , innaceptable for a flagship , choppy scrolling , the framerate skips like crazy sometimes , it just ... lags :/
I couldn’t believe it after reading the rave reviews , so it turns out that the European version has the Exynos cpu instead of the snapdragon 835 and the benchmarks don’t tell the whole story , I tried uninstalling unnecessary apps , deactivating bloat apps , deactivating the side panel , using nova launcher ( without using root or freezing apps or something like that , but it didn’t help , did you guys just get used to the lag ? :/ have you read that the performance on the note 8 is better (the example version of course ) and if it is , so you think it’s because of the extra ram ?
I’m hopeful that Samsung will make the performance better with the Oreo update but that update will probably come in December / January , what are we supposed to do until then ?

Snapdragon isint much better either. My roommate got a pixel 2 XL and his phone is smoother (with all apps running) than my freshly factory reseted S8.
i just changed my iphone 7 with s8 exynos , i see no different in performance , in fact i loved s8 more , i can't deny that s8 have a little of lags but from my experience ios has lags too , i have 6:30H screen on time in my s8 , i never dreamed about that in my iphone 7 , in iphone I only got 5H screen on time
This is assuming the iPhone 7 suffered no lag or stutters under iOS 11. I came from the iPhone 7 and use to notice stutters while scrolling through contact lists and even the home button had delays. I've got Nova Launcher set up on my current S8 and stock rom with tons of apps and never formatted since I've been using it for the past 3months. I won't lie I did come across occasional stutters but I find it way more fluid than the experience I had on iOS. The list scrolling, app animations,etc is really smooth.

I agree to a certain extent. I used the Xperia XZ1 Compact for a month on Android 8.0. The interface felt faster than the S8 given the same developer options. You can speed up the S8 if you want by lowering the screen resolution (settings>display). But then you wouldn't have the higest (other than S7) screen DPI ever seen on a phone.
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.
