laggy - phone lag while scrolling in tapatalk, slower than nexus 4

The lag is not huge, but it is noticeable, especially on first scroll through. noticeably laggier than n4. Any one experience this? I'll try to do a video later.
tmobile version, stock everything, I've uninstalled some of the tmobile apps. Tapatalk set to 50posts.

Since I've had this phone I've experienced no lag either on stock ROM or Trickdroid.

I have both the N4 and the HTC One, haven't noticed any lag in scrolling in Tapatalk or any other app. UI feels smoother in the One, running it stock/unrooted with 1.29 firmware.

When did you get the software update?

Since day one I got my device. It was shipped with 1.27 firmware and updated to 1.29 eleven days ago.

I'm afraid it's the Tapatalk app that does this . I have a Note 2 and a One. The Note with Tapatalk lags, the One with the XDA version works fine...

I have had some issues with tapatalk but find it was network (EE) related. The app has frozen a couple of times also. Other than that it works fie.

Also 8 tracks seems to lag as well.

I have both the n4 and H1 and the only place the n4 is laggy for me is tapatalk, the h1 has no lag what so ever, I swear when I tap the screen to do something it already has it done before I lift my finger off.
I'm on T-Mobile, 1.27. Stock.

I'm wondering if this is a 4.2 vs 4.3 thing.
I also think the one may be throttling harder, which would explain better battery life.
Could be resolution difference. It's harder to push more resolution though.
The only reason I'm worried is the reports off how smooth the phone is. I dont want a lemon phone

It's neither of those things. It's just the app not playing nice with the SoC, just wait for an update and it should be a-ok

So I checked with another one, it's also a bit laggy when using tapatalk and 8tracks.
Both are fa35xx phones.

It's not about which phone batch it is It's purely a software issue that the Tapatalk devs should fix sometime soon

I was experiencing major lag on my s4 which is the reason I decided to stick with the ONE. There is absolutley no lag whatsoever on this device!!

I played with the s4 in hte store. it was very laggy but it's supposed to get better by turning off all the gimmicky stuff. however, the one still noticeably lags for me.
in terms of least laggy (default mode, all stock)
nexus 4 > htc one >> galaxy s4

You could try enabling force gpu rendering in developer options. That helped me with a few different apps, quite immensely.

Bad effects of replacing the power button?

Hello guys my power button seems unresponsive most of the times...I'm kindda worried about it since i dont have warranty also
I am using touch control and stuff to reduce the usage of it as much as possible :good:
My question is, will replacing it cause any problem?? Will it be noticeable that its replaced??
Thanx in advance :good:
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

It may not be a power button hardware problem. A few members, including me have experienced bad power button behavior ever since the 4.3 update. At times mine seems unresponsive, or acts as if I press it twice. Like if I push it once to lock my phone it'll quickly go off and back on as if I pressed it twice. Also when pushing it to wake the screen it doesn't seem to respond at times and have to push it again. It happens very randomly. I'd say about 2 out of 10 times or so. I even flashed back to 4.2.2 for a few days and I had no issues whatsoever.

Seems to be for some. It's odd that only a few members have reported the issue. I'm sure there are others who do really have a button hardware problem, but I've pretty much ruled that out for myself.

I have the EXACT same behaviour!!
I didnt notice if it was because of android 4.3 but I have read about others saying the same thing.
Im about to leave the house to go the service centre and I found this
Im taking it anyway. Lets see what they say.
But its not 2 out of 10 for me. More like 7 out of 10

Really doubt that is the OS it had to be the power button get it replaced from the service centre that should solve the problem.
Facing the same problem but the service centre in my area does not have the power button in stock had asked me to wait for a week so that they can arrange it.

I went to the service center. The lady told me the engineer was on leave. I'll have to go on Monday again! She said it was nothing. He will only have to open it and clean the button and it will work. She said it was a common problem.

power button lag note 3

Hey everyone. Just wanted to know if you all are experiencing a lag when using the power button to turn OFF the screen. At times it will be instant and at others it will do a 2 phase dimming before powering off. Also at other times it will take a couple seconds before responding to the push of the button. Let me know if you all are having the same issue. I had the note 2 and I don't remember if it had the same problem.
Also I can post a video when I can if ya all need a visual.
Thanks in advance.

Turning off the option for using the power button for s-voice (s-voice options) reduces the lag

I got annoyed by the Home button so I installed Button Savior on my Note 2. I'll do that on my Note 3 for sure. I just hate mechanical Home button. I wish Button Savior lets me configure long pressing Home to be launching Google Now

How? Can you guide me to make it off.

Start s-voice, after that, enter settings (menu button). Disable option (should be "open with home button" or sth. like this (I'm using a german device)
Hope, this helps

I have the same issue, considering going to the store to swap it.. but store is 3hrs away T_T

Do you guys think this is just the effect of too harsh a transition to screen off max frequencies?

note 3 lag
I messed around with the settings and it's not like a huge difference but try turning off the water ink effect for the lock screen to open the device and put none and I notice a .5 or sec difference, it's sad if it turns out because of that:crying:

Omg I found out why there is lag on the power button when putting the phone to sleep and waking it up. Turns out that a lot of apps or system processes, well it uses a lot of ram I used a app called clean master it's free and it frees up ram. When I free the ram the power button seem more responsive. So try it out. Kind of disappointing for an amazing phone even with 3gb ram can still be effected like this

I got the same problem. Bought mine from a Fortress in Hong Kong unlocked. 4G LTE model.
Also noticed that not only is there a lag before the power off button kicks in but a lag for the thing yo actually shut down. Takes a while to shut down.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with power saving frequencies set in the kernel. I have experience this with previous devices when tweaking kernel for power saving. If the low side for idle is really low you'll get the lag. Don't quote me on this but I'm almost certain.

It completely removes it for me. Its pretty much instant.

I agree. I went into svoice and unchecked open via the home key and also wake up command and the lag waking up mostly gone. I still get some with multiple apps running in the background though, not too concerned either way.

If you uncheck open via the home button you will no longer be able to open it back up by double clicking on the home button. Say you unchecked it and then you wish to go back and check it again you will no longer be able to go back as double clicking on home button no longerbrings back this option to check or uncheck again
Anyone know how to bring this option back?

But see this thread is about the power but to make it sleep and wake up, not the home button to go back to the main page.

Tab 4 7 heat from the lower part / the bottom

Thanks in advance

It's either the battery or the cpu, you're going to have some heat during operation, especially with that Marvell cpu, it has to work harder

But the heat is from two different places, where one is near the camera (cpu) and the other one on the bottom which I have no clue what it is from.

I get a lot of heat from the top/camera area. I figured It's just normal CPU heat since it always happens under load.

Assuming the layout is the same as Tab 2 & 3 7's, which with out a doubt Samsung didnt change it, battery was on the right hand side, all other internals on the left. The battery runs the whole length of the tablet. From bottom of the camera down to the bottom of the screen and probably/roughly 2/3's width of the tab. So 99% chance youre feeling the battery which is normal.
