My Nexus 6p was extremely responsive and fast before this security update. Now every once in awhile there will be extreme multitask lag when I hit the button inside an app it takes a good second or 2 for the app to shrink into the multitask menu. Then scrolling is smooth and so is swiping away but opening apps from that menu also takes a few seconds. And this whole problem lasts for about 10min. Anyone else have this problem? I flashed elementalx kernel and it fixed everything for the time being. But I'm upset I had to do this on a device well known for being buttery smooth. Could it be a stock kernel problem considering flashing a new one fixed it? I tried everything before that like clearing cache, reset, reboots, none of those deemed results the lag still occurred sometimes.
While I can't say it was right after the update. I've noticed some lagging big time also. Seems to happen mostly with Waze and Next SMS by Handcart

Is anyone else experiencing a lag when typing? I text a lot and it usually occurs whenever I start typing then the lag goes away. I've tried so many things, different keyboards, disabling spell check, remove vibrate, removing background apps, I just can't get this to go away. If I continue typing through the lag, it does eventually catch up and display all the letters I punched in but its damn annoying especially for such a beast of a phone.
I'm open to any ideas, thanks.
I am running CM10.1 nightlies but I have experienced this problem since I got the phone.
For me on PA everything is fine. Tbh I barely ever type normally any more because I just find the gesture typing system much faster and more efficient.

Same thing used to happen to me on swiftkey, then when Stock keyboard got flow i went back to it, started getting lag on it also. Now im running Liquid Smooth ROM on mako with its stock kernel and it hasn't happend once. Maybe give it a try, i have found that battery life is quite good also, around 4hrs screen on time for me .
Any other ideas? Still running the latest CM nightly and I flashed franco kernel, still experiencing the odd keyboard typing lag. If no one else is experiencing this I guess maybe its just a problem with my phone.

Try to use the performance governor an let the CPU scale all the way up to 1.5 GHz.
Check if the lag is gone
I'm running stock and I still get lag!
Ever since I first powered up the device and went through initial setup, I noticed there were moments where the device would stutter/hiccup and not respond for a split second. I did a factory reset and it still happens.
Anybody else having issues?

Not with the S7 itself, but I am getting a ton of scrolling lag on the chrome browser. Luckily the only thing that is lagging for me. Everything else is super fluid.
I AM using Nova launcher though. I hated stock S7 touchwiz launcher.
The only lag I've had is in package disabler pro scrolling through the list. No other apps are having issues for me. Might be worth returning/swapping out.

Yes, it's happening a lot in Chrome. Tinder too. It also happens every 5-10 seconds or so when using the Gear VR.
I too am using Nova.
Mine doesn't stutter or lag. If I were you I would swap it out.
Swapped my S7 and it's still choppy, but it seems to be dependent on the app and not the device. Not defective.
Same here, I got me first S7 edge on the 4th of March, then swap it out due to defective screen (white spot on lcd) few days ago and now can't play video from websites, videos will sound like in fast forward mode, specially Facebook
I enrolled to beta programa like 3 weeks ago and everything was just fine, but yesterday after some apps updated the phone started freezing a lot, all the apps started crashing especially WhatsApp and Instagram, when I unlock the phone it takes like 5 seconds, also a lot of times when I go to the home screen after writing something, the keyboard stays on screen and it doesnt hides, I dont know what is happening, if someone could help me I would thank it a lot.

Don't mean to scare you, but that is exactly what was happening to me right before going into an unrecoverable bootloop. Nothing I tried revived the device, although there have been some that have been able to. I ended up RMA'ing my device as nothing I did brought it back to life. You might be in a different situation but just giving you a heads up.
*Bump*
Stock 7.1.1 and rooted here. I've been on the official 7.1.1 release for our 6P's since early December, and for the past week or so, I've been experiencing freezing as well. I'd be in the middle of typing in Hangouts, streaming music in the car via bluetooth and Spotify, or just waking the phone up from sleep. For the past few days, I've been getting 3-4 freezes per day.
On rare occasions, I've left the phone alone to settle, and it returns to normal, but more times than not, a hard reset is the only 'fix'; until the next freeze.
I reluctantly wiped the phone, unrooted, flashed stock 7.1.1 and re-rooted all via NRT last night. The phone froze again this morning coming off the charger...
Granted, it decided to restore 528mb's worth of WhatsApp history as soon as I unplugged it (why it didn't restore on charger overnight is beyond me though). Will update if it freezes again.
The phone runs butter smooth with zero issues other than these freezing occurrences though. MO, the 6P is the best all-rounded phone currently available, even if it's a year old already.
Appreciate any help or suggestions!!
That's odd try ex kernel and over clock or try HEBF manager on play store
Quick update. Couldn't bear the multiple freezes per day, so I called Google to ask for help. Apparently I've done everything I can on my end (including a factory reset and updating to the latest firmware), so they sent out a replacement 6P to me free of charge. They'll also be covering the courier/shipping costs for my old 6P too. Fantastic customer service. Kudos to them!! I called them Tuesday morning (20th Dec) Australian time, and received my replacement 6P Friday afternoon (23rd Dec). Very quick indeed
Half a day after setting up my replacement 6P, including updating to 7.1.1, I started getting the same symptoms as my old 6P. Freezing, unresponsiveness, etc. Persisted for another day and had enough. I've since done a full wipe and downgraded back to the final 6.0.1 release, and it's been stable as a rock for 3 days now. No freezes, lagginess, nothing.
So I deduce it might actually be a software issue with 7.1.1, and not a hardware problem. It appears a growing number of Pixel and Pixel XL users are also experiencing random freezes on their new phones running 7.1.1 too...
Looks like I'll stick with 6.0.1 until Google makes a formal announcement and something is done about 7.1.1. I've missed Xposed and GravityBox too, so 6.0.1 is all good. Most importantly, it's stable
Had you ever tried booting into safe mode to see if maybe an app was causing the issue? Maybe a compatibility issue between an installed app(s) and 7.1.1

Thanks for the pro tip. I did consider doing that with the replacement 6P, but the only apps that I had installed were the stock Google ones that came with 7.1.1, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SwiftKey. I just assumed if such popular apps were the cause, a lot more people would have pinpointed them as the problem?
I did however read a few users claiming SwiftKey to be the culprit prior to RMA'ing my old device, but even after uninstalling that from my old phone, I was still getting the freezing issues.
I'm running stock android 7.1.1 on a Nexus 6p and there's a dramatic lag in scrolling response. When the screen is scrolling quickly and I put down my finger to stop the scroll there is a huge lag before the scrolling stops. About half a second or more. It seems to occur in all apps (and even system settings menus). I've had this problem since buying the phone a couple weeks ago. It's driving me nuts. I never have this problem with my iPad, MacBook or even my ancient nexus 4. The odd thing is that if instead of just putting down my finger I drag my finger slightly (in any direction) then the lag almost disappears, but obviously that's a very awkward thing to do, especially when none of my other devices require it. Does anybody else have this problem (and hopefully a solution)?
I've talked to Google customer support. They told me to clear the cache of every app (yes that does take quite a while) and to clear the partition cache. This did not resolve the problem and now they want me to do a factory reset, which apparently is the last step before hardware warrantee measures. I'd love to know if this is a common problem.

Hi, I made some tests in your issue doesn't occur on my 6P with stock 7.1.1.

You aren't the only person who has experienced this issue but I haven't had it happen. I don't know if anyone found a solution but if you do a search in this section you should find a thread very similar to yours with a lot of responses. I think some people experienced the issue after updating to 7.1.1

Thanks, I'll have a look. (Tried searching before but didn't find anything.)
For me the problem predates 7.1.1
I found the source of my scroll lag issue. I sometimes enable the magnification gesture in the accessibility settings (because I often use a particular transit app that has insanely small icons). I realized that when I have this setting turned on the scrolling gets laggy. Turning off the magnification gesture seems to solve the problem completely. Not sure if there's any workaround other than disabling the gesture setting.
Hello everyone, I did some searching on what I'm going to ask but it seems as though all I've read were due to rooting and pertained to logins.
I have a new Moto XPE running the stock Sept. 1st Patch. I can log into Snapchat just fine, my issue lies after I'm using the app. Messages won't load in Snapchat and stories become stock on loading as well. On some Snapchat stories that are loading, after looking at a few images, the screen goes black and is again stuck on loading. Eventually the app crashes and sometimes the phone will crash as well to the point where other apps like YouTube just won't open up and the phone will either reboot on its own or require one from myself manually. Has anyone with a Moto XPE or Moto X Play experienced any of the issues I've described?
Thank you.
Holy crap, I thought it was just me, or that I was just going crazy.
Weird thing is I only started noticing any problems at all when I flashed from stock to a few of the various Nougat builds (CM14, then AICP, back & forth a couple times, then RR) which all have camera driver issues. I noticed half the time the camera wouldn't load upon starting snapchat, or if it did, it would take ~10 full seconds to change from the blank black screen, and sometimes if I would flip it to the front camera or vice versa, it'd just hang indefinitely.
That's the primary reason I switched back to stock a few days ago - I use snapchat A LOT and nougat just doesn't have enough cool features to justify one of my most-used apps basically being crippled to the point of not working the majority of the time. But once I restored my stock backup (not the September security update, the one before it) the camera started up fine in SC but I started getting EXACTLY all the problems you described.
The general consensus seems to be that SC is a super poorly-coded app on Android to begin with, but this must be a recent thing as it makes it downright unusable. I'm actually in the process of going back to 7.1.1 because that still works better than what the app's been doing lately. I wonder if it's happening on devices other than the MXPE?

It happened on my BlackBerry Priv too. I just switched over from that device a few days ago
I'm on stock 6.0.1 and I don't have any big issues with snapchat, the only one is that sometimes camera is very dark at start and I have to go to messages and back to camera to fix that

Yeah same here, it can get a little laggy sometimes for me but I just log out and back in and it works fine.
This might not be here nor there for this specific issue, but if you use Xposed/Snapprefs/rooted etc etc...One thing I noticed that REALLY causes a lot of lag with snapchat is overlays. Especially the FB Messenger app. If you have those chat heads on your screen with Snapchat open as well, things are basically unusable until you get back to the home screen and force close both apps. Could be happening without Xposed as well. Just a thought.
On a side note about Snapchat in general- it has always run like crap on every phone I've owned.
Snapchat kept screwing up, even tried the beta. Decided to try Casper and so far it's working great
