I've seen 2 threads about lag here at Q&A but both were rather silent. However now i know i'm not the only one. My lag experience is so annoying... Like mentioned before here and here.
I have the exact same problem as mentioned in one of those threads.
LAG SHOWS WHEN:
-scrolling fast trough long list of packed SMS threads with Google messenger,
-scrolling fast through long list of comments in G+ comment section,
Might be somewhere else but i can't remember now. Funny thing is, other than that phone runs quick. Apps open quick, scrolling through settings, contacts, hangouts messages etc etc is buttery smooth... Someone mentioned playing intensive 3D games works great, so GPU shouldn't be an issue. How can some 2D list of strings f*** my phone up so bad?!
I tried almost anything. Erasing apps cache, re-flashing stock firmware, flashing custom ROM, rooting, unrooting..... Whats also weir that once or even twice i managed to work this out for a few days, so that G+ comment section was smooth as fu** but than one day it all came back. Without any apparent reason. I did not update the app or anything. I'm so confused.....
Here's a video i make to show what it looks like.

I honestly think this phone has problems rendering contact photos. Just about everywhere they are there's scrolling lag due to loading the images: the contacts app, dialer, Google messenger, hangouts, etc. This never occurred on my Nexus 5.

I just hope MM will give some results...
It's a shame with such good hardware on paper that we see this lag. My 3 year old Windows phone with Windows 10 on it is more fluid, and has much better battery to boot. ?

Believe it or not, I'm coming from note 3 that phone was smooth!
However, I'm on MM now and Style has never been so smooth. I love it!
Marshmallow fixed the issue... Supper smooth!
Glad to hear marshmallow smooths things out even more. I have had some lag, but in the normal apps like Chrome, Facebook, etc. I would like to see these perform smooth scrolling as both Windows and iOS does. It's the only area I think android falls behind in. That, and standby battery life, but it seems marshmallow fixes some of that too.

Hi, first post here!
I was just wondering if anybody else has noticed a little bit of stuttering/lack of smoothness when doing certain things? For example, scrolling down Facebook is not smooth at all for me, Twitter is a lot better but still isn't perfectly smooth! I also notice a bit of stuttering in games such as Temple Run. Also when I go to the menu and scroll right, the first time it stutters a bit, but then will be perfectly smooth after that!
I'm unsure whether this is just the phone, or there is a problem with mine/something slowing it down? I might have just not noticed it when I first got the phone, but I am sure everything was perfectly smooth before.
I would say, yes... but you said "not smooth at all". Is this even after it has loaded pictures, posts, statuses, etc? Maybe a video of this in action or something could help out.
For now, I'm going to say yes, I have noticed stuttering. It is slight and it occurs because the phone and apps are not perfect.
...
Yet.

Ok, but please: Do not blame your phone for the badliest-programmed-app-on-the-whole-planet-ever, named Facebook.
Really mate... These are app issues and have nothing at all to so with the phone.
I titanium bu to freez the Facebook app. It uses memory and battery 24/7..I use the tabr app for fb and twitter.

Problems with badly coded apps rather than the phone itself.

Could these apps be effected the rest of the phone though? Like I said the menus can stutter sometimes, where they didn't before, and also scrolling down in everything single app has definitely lost the smoothness it had!

I sometimes face this micro stuttering too on entering app center for the first time, entering and swiping the second time after the screen turned off doesn't stutter.

Hi everyone. This is my first post on these forums.
I bought my first Android device about a month ago - a brand new SGS3 - and I've been very happy with my overall experience so far.
There's one thing though that bothers me and that is lag or jitter when I scroll in most apps.
I googled every way to make the phone faster over the last few weeks. Nothing gets rid of this lag I get when I scroll down in apps like Instagram, Facebook, Falcon Pro, Twicca, Friend Caster, etc.
On the other hand, scrolling in Reddit Sync or Tweedle is perfect.
What could be causing this lag? bad coding? is there a way to allow those apps more RAM usage?
Appreciate any suggestions. Cheers!
Many developers aren't taking Android seriously, therefore making crappy apps using crappy code. Facebook, however, is kinda nice after the 2,0 update but it's still got a long way to go before it's considered "good". Right now, it's not more than decent.

The only thing that bothers me is the extremely noticeable jitter when scrolling on Facebook 2.0. It was unbearable. So I switched to Friend Caster and it's better but by no means smooth.

If you think the Facebook app jitters/lags when scrolling, then you should download Tapatalk. God, that app's a damn mess, but I use it daily for my forum needs nevertheless.
Hello guys,
I thought I'd start a new thread on this lag issue because I'd like people to try all the apps I tried and to post their results like this:
1/ App Drawer slow move - Same / Better / Worse
2/ Facebook feed - Same / Better / Worse
etc etc...
The YouTube video is HERE
A downloadable version (smoother than YouTube) is HERE
I'd be very interested to hear what you find. Also state whether you have Snapdragon or Exynos and which build..
Let the games begin!
Mark.
Is it jerking or buffering from a slow internet connection? I don't notice that much jerking on my Note 4 (Exynos), but I'm interested in seeing what other people say.
I have the Exynos and yes if I try to scroll really slowly it doesnt immediately respond but when would you ever want to scroll that slowly and to be fair it is a like a millisecond of lag, geez to me this device is a huge improvement on UI lag than any previous Samsung device I have owned. Just my opinion but it seems like nit picking at a non issue really, but of course thats your opinion.

are you ok with the terrible jerky lag on facebook google+ pulse hangouts etc...??
I have a 73mb download on my phone, so no, the speed of the internet has zero to do with this.
Come on, how about more thorough testing guys, dont just defend your phone, it is a great phone, but I want to see some real testing!

I'll be honest, I've just tried the same tests on the same apps (no Facebook, but the Pages app), and I'm not seeing the same lag. If there is any, it's a very minor stutter maybe once, that I'd attribute to buffering.
Are you on power Save or anything else that could be slowing the device down?

Hi
Nope, I have not tweaked anything on the phone, my Antutu scores are fine... and with the first Note4 I had, I tried ART and also choosing to Force GPU Rendering, but they made no difference.
Are you on snapdragon?
I guess the "buffering" is the whole problem. It seems touchwiz makes it worse, but then some apps are better than others, like the Air BnB test I did, it was very smooth even when photos were still being downloaded and rendered. There is a noticeable difference between my note 4 and my Nexus 5...

I have an Exynos device. Buffering is the only real lag that I see. Yes, there's a very slight stutter on certain lists (like my contacts, which has over 1500 people on it, most with photo avatars showing), but nothing like what I see in your video.
Overall, the performance on my Nexus is quite good, but I routinely run into stuttering on webpages in the Chrome Browser. A good example of this is theverge.com. If I wait for that website to load and scroll up and down at moderate or fast speeds, I run into some very significant stuttering.
Other webpages exhibit this problem to varying degrees, but I can almost always find some hint of it. Elsewhere on the phone, I can also see some stuttery elements, such as on the Play Store while browsing apps, or scrolling through a single app description.
Best as I can tell, these stutters seem to trigger as I am scrolling towards an image in both cases.
Anybody else experiencing this? Not sure if this is just how it is.
1. Wrong section to post....
2. Do you scroll before the page loads completely... Which case is expected...
3. I just opened theverge.com on nexus5 as 6p is still shipping... No issues... Can't really believe that 6p would stutter
4. Congrats for the new phone
No lag when scrolling on the verge for me.
I see it on Engadget but that is because their mobile site sucks and loads a couple articles at a time as you scroll. Not the phones fault there.
I haven't noticed any stutter or lag on any sites. Just when phone was installing apps on first boot.
No stuttering for me unless data is still loading in a low signal area. I often have multiple chrome tabs open and if they are fully loaded then I can scroll seamlessly.
Yeah I've experienced stutter here and there while using Chrome too. Check your cached processes to see how much free ram you have. I think mines generally smoother when I have more free ram there.
Definitely stutter and lag

You are not alone. I have noticed the same thing. Many instances of stutter and lag. This is definitely not a lag free device as many said it was. Chrome is fairly smooth but stutter is there sometimes. Facebook and play store are two of the worse culprits. I have tried clearing the cache, haven't factory reset because I have hardly any apps installed (no games). No phone is perfect but perormance is fairly good.

Scrolling has almost been perfect for me . It's another story for my nexus 6 ,tho. Playstore always lags no matter what device you are browsing with. But it's barely noticeable on 6P.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/chrome-laggy-t3253466/page3 Might be this helps you
I have experienced this issue, but it seems to only happen when power-saver has kicked in (10% battery life for me).
Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the OnePlus 6 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Device is incredibly smooth. It seems like 60 fps in nearly all applications I've went through so far.
The only good phones I've ever used before this have been U11, View10 and that's it.
Scrolling is head and shoulders above them.
Literally smooooooth AF
Facing the scroll and touch issue
Sometimes scrolling is laggy, sometimes it stutters, sometimes it moves too fast when i scrolled it slowly.
Scrolling has been choppy since day 1 for me. There is small microstutter.

Yup. The problem is, not everyone can see that. For instance, I said in an article that the Play Store (one example) is jittery/stuttery when scrolling up/down in pretty much every 'corner of the app. People thought I was trolling. And my eyes perceive those stutters as relatively obvious ones. I don't understand how people can't see that. Then there's Twitter. If people can't see that Twitter stutters like crazy, then I don't know what else to say. I don't think the OP6 is smoother than the Pixel 2XL, even though that one's a generation behind. Imagine how good the Pixel 3 is gonna be.

Yeah. Most people probably don't notice it, but my eyes are very sensitive to it. I game on a 165 Hz G-sync monitor and I still notice microstutter at high frame rates lol. I wonder how havoc os or lineage os is? Maybe it's just the OS and not the device causing it.

Of course the device is not the cause. It's the software that facilitates the appearance of these jitters/stutters. It's all about optimization.
I only got one issue with stuttering. That was on day one, when camera application stuttered and crashed. After that everything went fine. That probably because I had two camera apps. One of device and one installed from Play Store.

Same here with the 165hz gsync and very sensitive eyes.. Thus far I haven't noticed any stutters on the device yet been using Instagram, telegram and chrome but nothing so far on latest update.
If I compare my s7 edge that was just a nightmare of stutters.
Yup I get stuttering here, similar to my 3 back in the day. I wonder if tweaking the cpu governor has the same effects as it did on my 3. There is no "conservative" selection anymore.
O notice in some apps now. Not in chrome or Samsung browser (use it for better battery for some reason..)
But apps like Instagram (when loading pictures)
And also play store (most likely loading something too)
I'm thinking it's more about poorly designed apps rather that the device itself.
It seems that scrolling smoothness took a hit after the Pie update, many apps (including chrome) seem to stutter a lot for me.

Absolutely true. I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to install the latest Open Beta build, considering that Beta 3 was pretty smooth overall. And yes, Beta 4 is smoother than stable Pie. I don't get how the initial stable Pie build managed to make it to the masses in such a state. For the past few days, the experience on my phone was utter s#!t. I'll stay on Open Beta until things get better on 'stable Pie.
Is there scroll stutter on pie-based LOS and Havoc OS or is it limited to OOS only?

Same here... spontaneous framedrops/stutter whiles scrolling, very annoying. Beta3 felt a lot smoother to me!
Every second day have to reboot phone into recovery to wipe cache. Reason being, I'm completely unable to type anything correctly when entering text.
Recent apps lag
Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing some stutter and lags with my One Plus 6. For exempe, if I scroll quickly trough the recent apps in the multitask, I can see some frame drops and it's very annoying. I don't understand why...It should work extremely fluessly with a Snapdragon 845. Are some people having the same issue here ?
Thank you so much !
The only way I've found of stopping the stuttering and poor scrolling is for to go to developer options and set the background process limit to "at most, 4 process"

I to have this problem. Scrolling would be smooth then suddenly the frames drop for a short time. This happens randomly. :/
