Right I've been follow like most the threads about sorting out the lag we sometimes receive on the G3.
I tried the fixes and while improved it's not gone.
So I decided to fiddle and to my surprise improved things alot.
Go into Developer option and tick DISABLE HW OVERLAYS
I used to notice lag when going in the app drawer and hitting the home button, a pause, stutter then animation. Now it has a millisecond pause and a smooth animation to the home screen.
Give it ago and report back.
Yeah, well, I saw no such improvement. Furthermore, that setting doesn't persist after a reboot.
If you want it to remain, you'd need to edit build.prop and change:
'debug.composition.type=c2d'
to
'debug.composition.type=gpu' (or cpu)
It's not worth it in my opinion, if there is a difference, I'd need to run home quickly to grab my atomic clock to measure the difference.
No difference for me either

Odd, it's a massive improvement here, are you guys running anything else ?
No difference for me.
Running ART, rooted, removed lots of bad stuff and used trickster tweaks, with 10f.

That phone does not have a camera. It is a petty. HTC will probably disappear soon: they have not been able to get benefits in 2013 and 2014. Customers currenty dont want to know about them due to evil sw update policy. I dont think a clever customer will buy an HTC.
Thanks anyway.

LoL...I don't notice any lag on my G3. What's kind of funny is some M8 users said the camera was fine back when it came out. Months later they like the G3 camera better. HTC took a gamble on the M8 camera and failed. Imo
This helped a lot. Things are a lot snappier.
Thanks!
Tried the M8 but think I've broken it trying to get the battery out

Hey just wanted to know if anyone was experiencing lag in games. I turned off all game options in package disabler pro and it fixed the brightness issue but still having FPS issues. I play Order and Chaos 2 and on my Note 5 it performs beautiful, on this phone it's laggy and choppy. I can't figure out if it's a graphic issue, optimization issue, or a network issue with this phone. Please any input is greately appreciated!
Some games I play run perfectly smooth but others run choppy. Hearthstone for example. That game lags worse than it did on my GS5 and couldn't even come close to the smoothness of my 6S+. Royal Clash runs great though. Super smooth with no hangup. Asphalt 8 also runs good which is odd being how it's graphics are more intense than Hearthstone.

Which version are you using? Maybe it's just optimization problem.
I'm using the snapdragon 820 version of the s7e... and maybe it is an optimization problem because idk I play the game a lot and it's aggravating me to the point I'm wondering if I should return the phone within my 14 day window... I can't see much of an increase over the Note 5 aside from the camera and the size lol

So is this a problem with the game makers themselves or is it a phone problem? Or both? I'm debating on returning this phone and going back to my note 5... this phone processor is better and smoother, I love the always on display, and just everything else about it but it's not a drastic difference from the Note 5 though. Also even with the font on minimal extra tiny things still look huge on here compared to the Note lol

I don't know who's problem it is but the more I look into it, the more I think everyone is to blame here. I believe it's a problem with Marshmallow and Samsung phones.

I don't know then. All i know is over in the Hearthstone forums, everyone with Galaxy S 6's are also complaining about lag and bugs. Maybe it's a combination of Snapdraggon CPU's, Marshmallow and Samsung.

The only strange I've found is Minecraft PE. It runs smoother on my 2012 Nexus 7 than on my Exynos S7 Edge. But that's clearly an optimisation problem rather than hardware being unable to manage the game, because this phone is at least five times more powerful.
I would suggest against returning your phone for this issue. It's clearly a software issue which I am sure Samsung will fix. I am having the screen dimming and choppiness with Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. I had no issues on my S6 Edge before installing Marshmallow. Now I have the same issue on the S7 edge along with the color saturation issue. Most new phones usually have at least one update that addresses the issues once it hits the mass market.
There is supposed to be a update for Hearthstone soon to fix graphical issues, which could also fix lag. In the meantime, delete the game's cache/data and give it another shot.
And as mentioned above, disabling game service by Samsung helps with lag and color issues.

That only helps with the color levels, has little to no impact on games with actual performance problems on the S7.

It didn't fix it and the game is still choppy. I ran it side by side with my iPhone 6s+ and it was no contest. It's so smooth on the 6+ my S7 looked and felt like an atari.

I'm not entirely sure what's causing this lag but it's definitely an isolated issue, only few people have it.
Could you give more info on your device? Also, do you have apps that run and/or monitor all the time? Some people reported random apps that they hadn't even install draining their battery and/or slowing down their phone (ei.: Pocket).

Not entirely true. The Exynos variant doesn't seem to have that issue. Which makes me think that it's an optimization issue.
I was playing around with a few settings on my G5 today when I thought of something - the real strength of the SD820 SOC lies in its GPU, not the CPU. Low and behold I found that enabling "Force GPU Rendering" shaves several tenths of a second off of the average input-to-response time for just about everything you do on this phone. I know it may use a bit more battery having it on, but the effect is quite striking. To demonstrate the difference, try double tapping to wake your screen without the option enabled and then try again with the option on. You should notice a remarkable jump in response time. Even in launching apps it is a very noticeable gain. Just thought I'd pass this on to those who haven't tried it.
Yup working great for me
Wowcha, it's incredibly faster when running like this, even typing runs quicker!
Thanks for the heads up dude

You're very welcome!
I think it also saves battery life as it takes stress off the CPU... If rooted install a kernel mngr app and view cpu-freq times... It stays low
And GPU sits just above its lowest freq with normal use.
So your phone stays cooler works faster and gets better battery life! Now just turn down those animations to .5x
And voilà! Better battery life!
The SD820 is truly magnificent and our version doesn't explode!

Go into settings and then to about phone, software info then tap on build number multiple times until it tells you you've gained developer settings.

Thanks, I know I had to do this years ago on my HTC One to enable USB debugging, but I'd forgotten the sequence.
Do you think it really saves a bit of battery compared to leaving it off? If it does save some battery I think I'll give it a whirl

The OP said it may cause a little extra battery drain, but, I've been using it, and I'll say that battery impact is entirely negligible and the speed of openings apps is extremely noticeable!!
I do however, always have animations turned off when I run any Android device.
Why forsake speed for a little useless animation and battery drain is what I say!!

By offloading all on-screen graphics processing from the CPU (rather than just specified instances like in the case of 3D graphics), it is able to save valuable process time and thus respond to user commands more quickly. There is definitely a real difference here.
Thanks for the tip. This helped me. And I noticed the difference too. :victory:
Force GPU rendering: This setting forces apps to use hardware 2D rendering, even if they were written to not use it. It can make things look great, or it can temporarily bork your phone. Use with care. (link)
GPU consumes more power the CPU, hence you may observe 5-15% lower battery life with option enabled. (link)
---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------
Also most apps that support it have it enabled in the settings. It's off by default for battery life and compatibility issues, including making some games slower as they optimise between what to pass to GPU and not. Setting the flag overrides these optimisations.
In theory couldn't it make the phone run cooler though?

I got my phone last week on friday . It came with the software version v10c . I got 6 hours sot and the phone did not heat up without gpu rendering beeing enabled . On sataurday i updated to v10i and the phone got really hot that day and on sinday too . I tried to install v10d via Lg up but failed at it . I enabled force gpu rendering today and my device didnt get hot anymore . I am sitting at 75% with 2 hours screen on time . I was mostly on XDA and was using chrome . So i dont think , that the battery life decreases if you enable force gpu rendering .

Same for me. 100% identical, not a single improvement or change.
I have the H873 from a Canadian carrier and scroll lag is very apparent on my phone.
This is especially obvious in Instagram (came preloaded).
The type of lag I'm getting is the ones where the scroll would continue to stutter even after I lift my finger off the screen.
Feels like it's something to do with the governor.
My nexus 5 have smoother scrolling than this, and it's sad to see such a new phone suffering from this decade old issue.
Any suggestions?
Id like to know a fix too, going from iPhone with smooth, zero lag. To this choppy lag in facebook and insta is awful.
Im rooted so anything I can do/tweak to get better results?
A factory reset helped me get rid of most lag. There is another topic about it.

yep, also factory resetted multiple times, but the lag was there since the beginning. @basicreece
if you're rooted, then perhaps you can try to change the governor setting to performance or something? isn't it ondemand by default?

YES. THIS.
Mine is from a Canadian carrier so both Instagram and FB came preloaded. FB is still acceptable, but IG just takes it to another level. Stutters on the dm page, the heart page, as well as the "following" page.
Perhaps we need to remove the preloaded version and install the ones from play store ?

Settings/Developer Options/tick on "Force GPU Rendering should make the beast smoother/snappier and have zero impact on battery life.
If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps dound on Play Store! LG G6 with SD 821 is smooth like the One Plus 3T or the Google Pixel is almost on par with the SD 835 Galaxy S8 and LG UX 6.0 is smoother than Samsung's. And can't wait for the next beast flagship LG V30 running SD 835 on top top of LG UX 6.0 would make it a favorite beast for years.

Hey so I kind of eased off the stutter by ONLY turning on "Disable HW overlay."
the stutter in ig for me is a bit better with this turned on. the rest is just Android lag
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

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!

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! ?

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.
