Is your OPT feeling pretty slow?

Hey all,
I bought a One Plus 2 yesterday (coming from the Galaxy S6) and immediately noticed how unbearably laggy the Oxygen OS was - am I the only one experiencing this? I get a few moments of fluid animations but then things just get choppy, especially compared to the Galaxy S6. I've since put the Chinese Hydrogen version on and it seems a lot more fluid but I just feel like it should be a lot faster? I've been considering just selling it on but this phone is perfect in nearly every other regard.
I was thinking that maybe this is just how things will be until some decent updates come along? Unless I'm the only person experiencing the choppiness.. Then I suppose I should be pretty worried indeed. As a point of reference, I've also used the Moto X 2014 and Z3 Compact which both seemed considerably smoother in operation. Some input from you guys would be great, along with any tips you might have to get the most out of this amazing phone.
Thanks.

Lol coming from an s6 you think its laggy? I switched from an s6 and compared to that this is the fastest phone I've ever had

Yes it is laggy as oxygen is still on beta, but you should wait and give time as it is a beast, give some time to one plus and they will fix the issues

You did update it right? The build it comes with is as dog**** as the home button is

Just update to 2.0.2 and u'll be fine.

Yup.. It usually lags when you switch to airplane mode.

Phone is brand new. OxygenOS is in beta.. Let some development happen man, these specs dont lie

I updated and just got mine! Excited but it is slow. Some things up

Seems fast to me. I showed the OPT to my coworker who has an S6 Edge and he was impressed. He said it was faster than his S6. I didn't even ask him that.

Lol you obviously didn't use the fingerprint sensor to turn it on then or try to go to the home screen pressing the sensor home button. Jk

I've had several phones with fingerprint scanners and this one is by far the fastest so far and the phone is quick. Home button works great also. Maybe I just got lucky.

Yeah mine's pretty slow. I went into a phone store today and tried out the Huawei Mate 7, which on paper looks way behind the Oneplus 2, and it KILLED my OPT when opening apps.
I often get lag here and there, but this is less of a problem for me. My mane gripe is how long it takes to open an app. Like, I hit the Phone icon and it literally takes up to a second to launch. That Mate 7 was practically instant.
What gives, Oneplus?

A lot of the issues I initially had with oxygen were fixed after disabling hardware buttons, including excessive battery drain, heating up, and lag similar to what you're seeing. Maybe it has something to do with grounding? Or maybe I just got used to it :S

This phone is just not meant to be a daily driver with the frustration it brings. If you want to be less mad install cm 12.1. Makes things much better than oxygen

Try flashing OxygenOS 2.0.2 again and then factory reset. You may see a bump in speed. I personally have no quirks with the fluidity of the phone. While it does have some bugs all over the place, never once did the phone feel sluggish. But with that said, the OS does need a lot more polish to really make it feel truly complete. Right now despite all the OTAs OxygenOS still feels incomplete, or maybe its because I'm too used to the versatility of a CM based ROM.

It's slow for about a minute after boot but then things are really fast

Actually, the problem is because 2 google apps are using your CPU way too much. Disable the sheets and the slides apps in settings and you should be fine. CPU usage dropped by 40% in cpu-z after disabling these apps.
Update:- actually the CPU now has really less usage after disabling (5% after disabling.).

That's something new.. I anyway just remove these apps from my /system..
Im on OOS 2.1.2 rooted.. Having xposed and AK kernel.. No lags.. Super fluid..

For those complaining about the slow app launching, download a 3rd party launcher and you'll see instantly the difference in app launching. I prefer google now launcher to maintain that stock feel.

You see, I saw some lag and I went to developer options>show CPU usage and the most of the CPU usage came from the sheets and slides apps.

Have you experienced lag?

Do you experience lag when using the phone. I've experienced lag during basic operations like working with emails in Inbox, app drawer, recent apps, quick menu, scrolling nearly anywhere, etc.

The only lag I've seen thats really bad for me is when swiping to close apps.

I've only seen it on the keyboard when I'm texting...seems to work fine in every other app though.

Only very occasionally with the keyboard.

I wonder if it's the phone or just a Google keyboard issue? Definitely not a big deal, but kinda frustrating

I thought I was the only one seeing small keyboard lag lol otherwise everything else is OK.

I am using SwiftKey and the emoji's lag. In the phone app when scrolling through the history - terrible stutter...I mean really bad! Other than those two..which are not that important...the phone is great!

The contacts list in Hangouts is pretty laggy for me but that's the app, not the phone. I'm very happy with my purchase.

No Lag but I have had several crashes/restarts. I'm trying to figure out if I have an app causing me the problem. I'm using Nova Launcher and may try to use the Stock one for a bit to see if that is the cause.

I'm using nova. No issues like that. I've noticed a change since I did a factory reset. You may try that.

Since we are talking about lag and speed in this thread I figured I'd post this comparison between the Pure and the S6. I recommend you take a look, I was surprised at the results. His second time through the test is pretty telling.

What lag.

I get minimal stuttering whole scrolling through screens here and there but really nothing major

Coming from a G4 (lag central), I can't tell any lag. I did have one issue where I apparently had too many running apps/processes at once and the phone froze for a few seconds. I cleared all of my running apps, freeing RAM, and haven't had the issue since.

I've been experiencing stuttering around the device, it's not a big deal however. I think the 808 is struggling with the 1440p display.

This is what I'm seeing. Although my wife's phone seems pretty smooth.......

Since the Google App updated with the vertical scrolling feature, I am not getting much lag anymore.

I Have had the phone since the 16th and have had maybe one or two times when the multitasking screen lags just a little when 1st opened. That's all I have seen in my week of owning the Moto X.

We bought the same phone just different configurations.
Both 32GB
Me: Black, Ash
Her: White, Bamboo
Is everyone that's not experiencing lag using the 64gb version?

Lag Nexus 6p

Have you experienced lag in Nexus 6p?
Mine mostly lags in developer setting for example when I toggle sRGB it lags a little and when I open the developer setting after restart. Also when I was restoring my apps in play store I tried to cancel one of the apps and it said google play is not responsive.

There will be certain services that are going to lag for everyone, most of the time its when processes happen that are allowed to utilize all processing power. Such as installing apps.

For me it doesn't lag for anything beside developer options. It might be a software issue that gets fixed with an update. Other than that, it's been the fastest Android device I've owned so far.

This is the fastest android I've owned too, but I came from Samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which is 3 years old and it is touchWiz. Most of the times the only thing that lags is developer options and rarely it lags in the play store. Hopefully they will fix the issues in a software update.

I haven't had any lag whatsoever on my 6P, although my Nexus 9 suffers from terrible lag, which is very annoying since the lag on my original Nexus 7 was the whole reason I bought the 9.
I've had some other issues with the 6P, such as Bluetooth randomly disconnecting and not reconnecting until after a reboot, and the camera app has completely frozen up once or twice.
But otherwise it's undoubtedly the best Nexus device I've ever owned.

Yes but I wouldn't call it lag. It only happened first time when setting up the device and seemed like app became unresponsive.

Not lag as such but as a device as a whole it's slower than my S6.

What do you mean? Where do you notice that?

There is no lag whatsoever in the device. I have had two apps force close, which I guess is the marshmallow incompatibility issue. This phone is blazing fast

Mine has run smooth on most things. Occasionally coming out of finger print scan it is sluggish. However, overall it performs well.

In general, opening apps etc. Both phones are super powerful though.

I am having this issue too. Opening apps, using the fingerprint scanner, hitting the recents button, sometimes they lag or are sluggish almost to the point where I have to hit them again because I think that the tap didn't register. Then it opens twice or opens/closes because of the sluggishness. It's really strange and beginning to think it's an app or a kernel issue.

Does your touchscreen wiggle when we hold finger on it?

Hi.
Just bought s7 edge loving it.
Before i was using iphone 6s. I also used note 5 for week i didnt liked touch response was bit low latency and slow unlinke iphone.
I really like new series. Everything is good. I started noticing new thing. Touch response is also good on this phone but I saw new thing. When we hold finger on touchscreen also like when we rearrange icon by holding it.
I see touchscreen is wiggling like a old phone is getting charge and touchscreen is shaking like virus..
Have you ever noticed that?
Or screen is over sensitive?
I will also make video to describe.

Doesn't do it here (using the Exynos variant)

I see what you mean but I have not noticed it on mine. I would if I had it because I'm sensitive to stuff like that. Though it IS a sensitive screen. Even after the update that fixed the severe oversensitivity. It's not a problem anymore though. Before the update it would register presses before you even touched the screen. Hovering the finger 0,5mm above the screen would trigger it.

I would say i have noticed what you are experiencing.
but not to a level it was noticeable./
To me it felt more like the phone was responsive to my touch more than previous devices.
And as this is incredibly quick, it was reflecting this on the animation
(While other devices that are slower would not show it)
I noticed this stopped when using the tip of my thumb instead of the flat.
But more productive, What version are you running?
There has been various updates that improve the stability.
I upgraded and rolled back due to loosing a feature.
(Whitelisting Caller ID) (Stops unwanted calls)
But noticed a improvement to the touch sensitivity being abit over sensative one may say

Thanks for replies.
Im running pd1 something like that written at last.
For me it's not big issue.
I hope you got what I tried to show.
I mean I only see wiggle when I hold finger after sec it get fine but for sec it wiggles. There is also a wiggle when I swipe left right instantly I'm not talking about it.
I'm talking about, when I try to zoom a picture. It wiggles when on stable finger for a sec. Software down the touch response after a sec then wiggle gets fine.

Yea it's not annoying but it feels cheap.
Actually cheap phones have this thing especially when we use it while charging.
I'm not saying s7 edge is bad phone. I still love it.
But I really seek fix for that.

This is a software "issue" and not a hardware issue, so this is something that can be fixed by an OTA. Could you install Nova Launcher and see if the wiggling is still there? I just want to check that it's not anything with the Samsung launcher.

bought a brand new indian set s7 edge. And i am also facing the same issue. What is to be done to fix it? I have tried the *#2663# stuff. It doesnt help at all.

Yeah my phone does that too!
It STILL ANNOYS me daily because I notice some imperfect scrolling! I am very sensible to smooth scrolling and I can notice some imperfections on this phone!
Besides it jumps up sometimes when scrolling down... and the opposite way around!
See my poll on g+: https://plus.google.com/+GeorgesGeagea/posts/Vp8Xc5nwTtt

Try *#2663# and Update the stuff there. It will help. What i think is that its an over sensitivity problem. Had it alot on Note 4. Not any on s7 edge. I have the Exynos version.

keyboard lag and small milisecond stuff is driving me crazy, am i doing it wrong ?

first of all this a DESPERATE post i know there are other post KINDA like this but i dont think they're experiencing the same stuff that im suffering !! first of all the keyboard small lag + poping up animation is JUST INSANE!! if you're a phone lover and used the smartphones from the beginning you'll know the EXTRA change in every single phone !! but since i decided to sell my ONE M8 (A 2 freaking year old phone) for this im experiencing a DOWNGRADE feeling ! the most annoying thing appears in a snnapy app named TELEGRAM which i use like 60% of the time on the phone ! ive used every keyboard from swiftkey to google and the snappiest is still THE SAMSUNG KEYBOARD ... yeah bummer. and it doesnt end there... when i click the built in emoji button on telegram it has this very very tiny delay that ull only experience it if you had a snappier phone before like a nexus or even iphone (yeah i tested the same conditions on iphone its wayyyy faster on popping up and typing) or heck the htc phones too!! yeah i should stop whining BUT THIS IS A 600$ phone a goddamn flagship with 4gbs of ram and blahblah!! ive had a samsung S4 with the exynos processor before too but i dont remember being THIS MUCH annoyed with it!! im talking about keyboard and lags much cause well I USE KEYBOARD 90% of time and its a much important factor than anyother thing in the world ! after that there is this weird screen gap issue that i addressed in other topic (its not even visible in daylight and you wouldn't see it in night if you're focusing on it but yeah ... i have this obsession to have the problem-free phone) and no they didn't replace it cause i was late for the 7days return policy !! those two plus a scrappy headphone and music jack makes it hella worse!!!
so whats is wrong with me or my phone? am i the only one who is experiencing these things? i always root and flash the best close-to-stock rom out of the box but i decided to run this SO CALLED MONSTER on basic modes and didn't even reseted out of the box and just updated it thru OTA! everything else is snappier in this phone including app switch games and camera !! but the most important one is missing ...
and since i haven't found any solutions yet im planning to sell it for ~100$ less than what i paid for it initially !! and thinking about using the headphone money that i was planning to spend to buy a new phone !! HTC 10 seems like the most sensible choice ... with a nice headphone inside ... but it got a 5.2"screen which is a bummer since i was really liking the huge screen on this ... then there is iphone 6s plus which i would only buy for its resell value to buy a htc nexus later cause i cant get away from android !! and the only reason im choosing it is because it got a 5.5" screen and just a good all around BLAZING FAST phone!
help me fix it or help me decide a new phone!

you're not the only one mate. keyboards on s7 lag when used on anything but native sms. chrome, chrome beta and stock browser is laggy and any app like Facebook or Twitter is laggy too. it's the only annoying thing for me as it just shouldn't happen on this monster.
the only custom rom I find lag really short is renovate edge rom. even while writing this it's lagging slightly but far less noticeable than stock.

I had an honor 5x for a few days fixing it for a friend and it's noticeable from that short period of use. even with modded swifkey it's laggy too. Nexus 6p is faster on keyboard startup and use. it's getting better on stock as I jump from stock to custom frequently just to check for improvements.
which firmware are you running at the moment?

I thought I was the only one experiencing this

I have had it like mad for ages so I finally cracked. I rooted, got myself on debloated DD.1 ROM and a custom oveclocked kernel. Most of the lag issues have been solved Never buying a Samsung again though

Yes, there is two of you now in the world.
You can almost call yourselves a group

I never noticed the lag. Looking for it, though, it's barely noticeable. The time it takes to open the keyboard and the nanosecond lag of the key pop ups. But let me tell you this. You'll have this type of lag on almost every smartphone except a Nexus or any other device running 95% vanilla Android. My recent device history is like this; Moto Nexus 6 -> LG G4 -> S7 Edge. Going from a N6 to the G4, I was amazed how a non-Nexus device running a bloated custom OEM ROM could be so much faster and snappier than a full vanilla 100% Google stock Android. It was so much faster than the N6 but the keyboard...ahh, the f*cking keyboard. It would have opening and pop up lags of not nanoseconds, not milliseconds, no, litteral seconds! So from my point of view, the S7 Edge has almost no lag opening and operating a keyboard.

My S7 Edge does not have any keyboard lag, but I have disabled auto-correcttion and other keyboard features.

No keyboard lag personally using Google Keyboard

What I noticed is different languages on keyboard. I am using English(UK) but I live in Lithuania. Ant once I hit typing bar on chrome it lags terrible and then keyboard pops up. Which is Lithuanian. What I did is I downloaded Lithuanian keyboard and downloaded English(UK) keyboard. And lag is a lot less now.
