Check my Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fds9eccI9OA
I did a FR before flashing with Kies, and after flashing. Also did a clean install of all apps and settings and a cache wipe.
maybe 50 pics, 50 mp3s and 100 apps and 4 widgets running.
This video was taken just 15 minutes after a reboot.
Do people consider this whining?
EDIT: Spend 6 minutes looking through the video. The lags gets worse and worse.
That is the worst lag I have ever seen, I understand if you are upset, for me the lag is 1-2 second pauses now and then.
Was it as bad on 2.1?
Looks bad. Anyways try getting rid of the batt app that lets you know of the batt percentage on the notifications tray. I got rid of mine and the phone is much quicker.
Good luck i feel for you buddy.

Something is hogging the cpu.. Or a process is creating a problem. What happens after you clean the memory in the taskmanager? This isn't normal.

Whats the icon in the top right hand corner? And this SHOULD have been posted to the other lag threads.

The icon is just the alarm clock.
Ending all apps does not solve much. The lag returns almost immediately.
Was this lag meant to be so, i mean is it intended to blame the phone? I'm sure this is not normal, and have never seen lag like this. Mostly its 1sec (i know many complain about this) but blink twice and it will load

Sorry, but I have to disagree. I think this is relevant enough to put in a separate thread.
My apps: http://www.appbrain.com/user/borchgrevink/apps-on-the-phone (minus Angry birds)
The lag was almost like this also with jf3 and jm1.
Not many apps running simultaneously, so I don't see the problem...
Not to disparage what you're experiencing there mate but I flashed JP6 yesterday and I can honestly say so far it's been smooth sailing even without any lag-fixes, as opposed to when I was on 2.1 just prior and things were about the same as what you've got here. Did you do a TitaniumBackup restore or anything?

Hmmmm, the only thing I can think of (and this'll probably sound silly) but you might want to try without a SIM in it. I remember people with Milestones having damaged/faulty SIMs which would cause their phones to slow right down.
Also, sorry but I have to admit I got a good giggle from the fingers tapping at ~4:30 :3

It depends WHAT you are running. In your movie you say stuff like "wow, 5 apps running", but widgetlocker for instance I know slows the phone down a bit.
The number of apps means very little (I can make a computer lag by encoding a video and messing around in photoshop too). It's what you are running that matters. Maybe you should try to work out which applications are causing issues (there is a good reason why I got rid of widgetlocker though).
Anyway, this thread should be closed as a dupe. It doesn't warrant it's own thread, as you aren't a celebrity, and other people have already posted video's onto the existing threads.Your case is no more important than the others.

That's part of the problem, it probably depends on what you are running, so whatever was slowing down your phone significantly before, has probably been reinstalled..

Wasn't running anything after fresh boot. The video is from first screen taps on this freshly booted phone.
EDIT: Removing Widget Locker does not help... Tried that.
here it's unbelievable stable(jpk+oclf+4wks+120apps), guess it was a wise choice not going jp6/m.
But why are there 5 apps active? I have several active widgets but they don't show up as a regular process(es) here.. I'm sure that my phone would lagg too while running 2 games, 2 web browsers and navigational software on the background. =/
I doubt it was acting like this from flash off right?
Do you consider that the hardware may have been damaged!? You have your warranty, get another one .

Well.. That's my point.. Your apps must be doing something that is sucking up your CPU... because I'm running Messaging, Launcherpro, Jabberoid (not listed in active apps), sipdroid (not listed in active apps), and a live wallpaper. I suspect that your apps are possibly running a few things not listed in task manager.. Also, are you running custom widgets (I'm not using any, which might be adding to the jumpiness). I also only have 50 apps.
I have noticed your app list contains MANY custom widgets..
So, I suggest working out what specifically is causing your issues. But I can honestly say I don't get lag like that on my phone..

Well, the apps "running" in task manager are only the six most recent apps. I am only using 4-5 widgets on this video. I have also tried without any widgets. Same problem.
Will get a new replacement phone (have made a deal with Samsung, just waiting for a new one).
DISCLAIMER: Please don't ask for ROM, dump, files, where I got the ROM etc etc etc. Can't say anything and will ignore any requests.
Next patch version for the Z is still 4.1.2 but has some optimizations, let me name a few:
- Soft keys + notification bar background changed, it is now black and looks a lot better.
- There is an option to adjust the white balance of the screen
- There is an options to enable/disable the notification light
- Stamina seems to work much better, better standby time plus LED notification works with stamina on. Also noticed that apps in stamina exception list work much better now.
- WiFi reception is MUCH better.
- Camera opens faster than before, still a bit slow for my taste but it is a step to the right direction.
- The device is faster in general. Have tested this with another not updated device and it is in the scale of ms but still it is faster and more responsive.
I might be missing a few things here but it is a nice patch, I know it is not 4.2 but still it is a good patch.
Accepting questions to test things but I can't always answer very fast.
EDIT: forgot to write that the exploit for root doesn't work anymore.
Cool thank you Hopefully it won't be long until this is out!
Have they improved the camera quality at all do you know?

This is most likely real! Haven't heard all of the listed improvements but we received internal confirmation on most of them.
Does this one already include the proper Music Unlimited integration in Walkman or is that planned for another release? I know it's coming but never had any confirmation on whether that would be in 4.1 or 4.2.

You forgot to mention that the display and colors look much better with the newer version (10.1.1.A.1.253)
Indeed, exploit root doesn't work with this version...
Just thought I’d put a short guide together on what I think are some things to do to get the most out of your spanking new LG G3 when you get it or you already have it. Most of you guys might already know most of this or might not. Just thought it might help some people. This ain’t rocket science but every little bit helps!
Battery:
This is the hardest thing to do because like a fingerprint everyone has a different set up with apps and how they use their phone (wifi vs 3g vs 4g etc) that screen on time will always vary. Also you don’t want to turn everything off and cripple your brand new smartphone just for your battery. There’s a balance.
However here are some general things to do that do help:
1. Install Greenify from the Playstore. I have found this is the number one way to stop drainage. This app will hibernate apps when not in use. It doesn’t stop their functionality at all but hibernates them.
2. Don’t use Google Now. I think it’s a gimmick and does bugger all for me however if you use it it will drain your battery big time. Of course if you love it then use it!
3. Don’t use location services. Another big drainer. Just use it when you need it. However if you have apps that need it then of course leave it on!
4. Use ‘auto’ on screen brightness. Mine is on ‘auto’ but at 100% and the brightness is perfectly ok for me.
5. If you continue to get big drainage then download Betterbatterystats from the Playstore and look at the ‘wakelocks’ – this way you will be able to see what’s draining your battery. As a general rule your phone should go into deep sleep for at least 80% of the time.
With this phone I am getting around 5 to 5.5 hours Screen on Time. You should be getting around that too.
Performance:
Here are a few things only that really do help with speed and performance:
1. The whole thermal throttling thing is a pain i.e. LG’s decision to turn down brightness when it gets hot. However there is something you can do and which I have now done for two weeks with no adverse problems. Turn it off! Put this in the phone app: 3845#*400# and then scroll down to 'high temperature property' and switch to enable and do the same for 'thermal daemon mitigation'. Please note my model is ‘400’ so this will work in the number sequence above. For models with other numbers I am pretty sure you just substitute and put that number in e.g. 855.
2. Go to Dev Options and change the transition animation scale, the animator duration scale and the window animation scale to 0.5. This little thing speeds up your phone like nothing else.
3. Root your phone with towelroot. One click root! And then start debloating. Get rid of whatever you want by downloading Titanium Backup and going into each app and freezing whatever you want. Freezing is safer than uninstalling but does the same thing. Debloating is a must!
4. So once rooted then start using xPosed modules by downloading and installing the xPosed framework and then rebooting.
These are my personal Top 3:
a. Download the brilliant xPosed module ‘TweaksBox’ by P_Toti located at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
And donate something to him! This allows you to change so much with this phone. I dunno where to start. It is superb.
b. I dislike the LG skin so immediately download the Google launcher – to me it is the fastest launcher out there beating Nova and Apex. This launcher cannot be customised however there is a fantastic xPosed module that allows you to customise everything - Xposed Gel settings located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-gel-settings-t2647275
And donate to him too!
c. How good would it be to extend your nav bar seamlessly if you slide your finger! Well you can – download Xtended nav bar here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xtended-navbar-t2787228
And donate to him too!
I can’t think of anything else but these things definitely help.
And get ready for your G3 – it is super duper great!
lol donate this donate that, you sounded like their marketing... nice tips though, I'd like to ask between betterbattery stats and gsam battery monitor, which one better?
will towelroot work on the d855 version?
also what is the difference between greenify's hibernating with titanium backup's freezing?

Ha yes someone's got to donate! They do so much and get so little.
Yes the only reason I said bbs is because I'm used to it. Gsam does the same thing essentially.
Yes from what I read towelroot should work.
Greenify hibernates an app in the background if you are not using it whilst freezing apps effectively uninstalls them without the pain of then being actually uninstalled. And you can unfreeze them any time.
okay, again thanks for creating this thread, btw how do we take screenshots from g3?

If you turn off the "Ok Google" listener you will save most off the battery drainage, I find Google Now pretty handy.

Yes I've debloated some but just the safe ones. There's heaps there though.
How are you finding yours? I'm loving mine but just hoping more developers get on board. Tell your developer mates please!
Is there any danger turning off the thermal thingy. Could the phone completely overheat?
I'll just confirm for anyone wondering that indeed the turning off the thermal throttling does work by changing the device model number to "855" on the UK version
No adverse effects in last half hour or so and have been trying to run demanding tasks to see how it go's
You can uninstall all of the bloat without any issues. It also helps with your battery life. I usual get 4 hours of screen time post charge. That's more than most people can get on a stock kernel, and it's great for a 2k display.

and also I'm such a noob, can someone link me a guide to use tapatalk efficiently?
thanks for the help
No torch/flashlight app preinstalled, you will have to install one. Also no task manager that I can see.
What is the best torch app you recommend?
Also task manager? Doesn't the android multitasking app work finely for that?
I am using"flashlight hd led" which seems fine.
Yes android does, I just liked the task manager on the G2, not sure why they didn't keep it.
Hi guys, I would just like to have everyone know I love my Note 4 N910F but the one I absolutely hate about it is the recent apps button lag is attrocious. I was hoping that the Lollipop update would fix the massive delay/lag when pressing the recents button and although it did a little bit, there's still a massive delay. I used a Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 which were both low-mid range phones that had absolutely no lag when pressing the recents button.
I'm currently on Rooted Stock Lollipop, is there anything that can be done to make recent apps pop up more instanty? I'll flash another Lolipop Rom providing it's fast with good battery life and someone can confirm there is no recents delay?
Yes.
Force close facebook app and test recents. As soon as facebook reload itself lag come back again.
I dont use facebook.app. it is turned off and the lag is still here. Less but still is present

I feel your pain, man. A lot of digital ink's been spent on this. No one seems to have been able to fix this. I think it's a problem with TouchWiz. I was actually curious to see whether the 6/6 Edge still had this problem but I haven't had luck finding a video where someone pulled up the recent apps menu. Frankly, I don't think this is going to be fixed for our device anytime soon, if at all -- heck, many Note 4 users don't even have Lollipop yet.
I even tried looking for a recent apps substitute and mapping the button to my recent apps button but couldn't make it work.

I played with a Galaxy A3 and A5 which are low-mid range phones that have their recent apps button working flawless on Kitkat. Yesterday played with both the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge and the Recent Apps button is flawless. Maybe if someone ports a Galaxy S6 Rom over to the Note 4 then we can say goodbye to this problem. Touchwiz is meant to be toned down and lighter on resources on the Galaxy S6.
Disable the talkback service in application manager, will fix your problem
Recent apps faster
The only way is turn off multi window and freeze talkback.
It Sick but there's no other way.
I turn multiwindow back on when i need it
I can't believe it's so simple... I did exactly that and now my alb95 3.5 rom is perfect! Thank you!

it's supposedly fixed in 5.1.1.
I own an echo, 2 Ghomes and a V20 with Google assistant, and I think there is major room for improvement on both systems. I'm pretty excited to try a new Ai.
Well you'll have a bit of a wait since it won't have voice enabled for a while.
The hate is probably due to Samsung preventing re-mapping of the button to something else and Bixby not being ready for prime time. I believe people like choices and the option to change whatever they want since its their phone.
Because we all know it's going to suck and be useless.
I've always went in with a don't diss it till you try it attitude and I will do the same for Bixby.

Like all AI is.
"Google Assistant is so great!!!"
No, MKBHD, it isn't.
It's the fact that we're forced to use it. Sure it can probably be disabled, but there's a physical hardware button dedicated to it. If you don't like it, that button is a total waste of space that could server a relevant purpose.
Am I the only person who dosent use Google assistant? What does it do that's so special I have never used it on any of my phones

I dunno, Samsung has a ton of in home devices they could add Bixby to. I don't really see they having too much difficulty doing what google does, read apps or the first link from a web search.
Native smartthings support and Samsung SmartTVs. If they decide to release a Chromecast/FireTV streaming box. I think they will be late to the game, but have way more in home penetration.

I'm willing to try it, mainly since there's a physical button dedicated to it. However, like with all of these virtual assistants, I feel rather lukewarm about them all. Never really had a desire to try them, so kinda have to push myself to try Bixby.

Nope. I've never used it either. I get why people like it, but... like you, it never seemed special, so I just never tried it.

I use it for controlling my Smartlights, my news briefing in the morning, long google searches and sending texts while i'm driving (It will read and reply to text/hangouts in Android auto)
Pretty sure it's the dedicated button to an app that no one it's going to use. They could have made it a power button instead
They hate it because Samsung put a dedicated button for people to use something they sunk a ton of money into, the hate really doesn't make sense. Competition is good and should be encouraged, we should be happy there are so many companies developing assistants for us to use even if some of us don't see their point.
Personally, I don't use Google Assistant or anything else. I don't see the point of talking to my phone when I have perfectly working fingers on my hands (I also don't drive.), but just because I don't use them doesn't mean I have to hate them.
That said, removing the ability to remap the button using an accessibility service was a **** move.
I would love to remap the stupid bixby button to a camera shutter function. And I dont mean launch the camera when pressed, I want the phone to take a picture when its pressed even if the screen is off. That would be an amazing rooted mod.
Yeah, that's what I want... A bunch of pictures of the inside of my pocket every time I accidentally hit that button. (That was sarcasm)
No thanks. I would hate that feature.

Honestly I prefer the on screen shutter button. I've tried settings the volume buttons to take a picture but I always find it more stable to use the on screen buttons because it doesn't involve me pushing the phone.

It wouldn't let me edit my post when I posted this, but I meant to say home button.
i dont use voice assistants. Makes me look retarded in public..
Havent use it so cant say if it sucks or not. But i do believe it will be more integrated then google. Its has translate and online image search built into the camera. Which is a good thing, i normally have to switch to the apps for these.
So ill have to see how it all goes and what it is like because i can knock it or not.
Same goes for the swipe up app screen (i know you can turn if off but ill try it for a while and see)
