Nav bar lag? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Is anybody else seeing nav bar lag after about a day's worth of uptime? After rebooting, all nav actions work as intended. After a bit of uptime, I start getting really bad lag on all nav items. I'll tap the back button, then a second later I'll get the visual indicator of the tap, followed shortly by a vibrate and then finally the system animation.

Yeah I feel it too, for example when I use the touchwiz launcher and open bixby, then tap the home button it takes about 0.5 seconds to actually see or feel anything. It feels sluggish.

this happen also since oreo arrived

[Q] Home Button Responsiveness

Is anyone having issues with the home button? I will tap the home button to go to the home screen, but instead, it will take me to the recent apps menu about half the time. This is getting really annoying, and I'd like to get it fixed.
Does anyone else have this issue/know how to fix it? Is this a software or hardware issue?

Sounds like a mix of software / user issue to me.
I was doing the same thing so try this and see if it feels better.

With default settings a quick tap will bring you home after about 1.5 seconds
holding it brings up your recent apps, it sounds like you're holding it for the 1.5 seconds as you're expecting a delay for it to go to the home screen and its causing it to open up recent apps.
To remove this 1.5 second delay double tap home quickly and open up S-Voice, when S-Voice opens hit your menu button and turn off the double tap home to open, then close the app.
Now when you hit home there will be no delay as the system doesn't pause to wait for a second tap to open up s-voice and it just goes home. it also means you won't feel the need to hold it until it goes home inadvertently causing you to open up multitasking instead.

Home Button Briefly Shows Recent Apps

Delete/Ignore - It was Home2 Shortcut. I always have it set from the start, and didn't even think of it.
I'm on US Cellular, but heard our phones are very similar. I have this annoying problem when I press the Home button. It appears to happen with both the hw button and an app, like Ultimate Dynamic Navbar. I press it to go to my default screen (Nova launcher, not in foreground), and the Recent Apps pops up for a split second before going to the home screen. Not sure when it exactly started, but happened on both Vanir and CyanFox ROMs. I'm on KT kernel and tested with default settings and the Hydra profile. Thanks for your help.
Edit: When on a different screen on the launcher, it'll show the Recent Apps, then remain on that screen.
Edit: Before I have any recent apps, it'll just flash a black screen for the same amount of time. Something's causing a delay. In Accessibility, I changed the Touch & hold delay from Short, Medium, Long with no change.

[Q] Most recent lag

Hi,
Got a little problem which quite annoys me.
Opening 'Recent Apps' with the physical button takes too long. If I use for example the nova homescreen shortcut it opens instant, but if I open it at the same moment with the physical button it takes about half a second to show.
I prevents me from having the nice multitask experience which the hardware is definitely capable of. Is there someone who got a fix? I already tried disabling all animations.

Minor lag on "recent apps"

Really strange since i'm on clougyg2 and have only 2 home screens with 2 widgets total. There is a small but definitely noticeable lag/stutter when pressing the recent app button. It is more apparent if you notice the way the blue light on each navigation bar's button behaves: "back" and "home" light up evenly but the 3rd button stutters and the recent applicationscreen takes some time to be displayed
Has anyone noticed anything similar?

Is there any way to put Nav Controls on the Second Screen?

I have my V20 navigation controls hidden for almost all apps because I like the full 5.7" screen always displayed, but it's a pain sometime to swipe up to get access to them. Is there any way to get a 3rd party app that you can put into the Second Screen as an app shortcut, and when you click the app shortcut icon it will navigate DIRECTLY with the one press on the second screen (i.e. go to home screen and back button, mainly)? I don't think it could be a widget because you can't load widgets as a app shortcut on the 2nd screen. Note that I am NOT rooted.
Probably not but I just thought I'd ask.
This actually works in the nav bar as a return to home button, although will not appear on recent apps when used. Now looking for a back button

If you have any sort of experience with Tasker I'm sure you can create a simple task that goes back, and just assign it to a button that you throw on the 2nd screen though I just checked and some widgets don't actually work in the 2nd screen. Greenify works fine but my mobile payment app doesnt't.
Seems like it can't be a widget or floating button. Can't find a back button that works by clicking the app shortcut icon like the home button does above (i.e. no app options - click and executes the one function directly). Oh well at least I have half what i need.
A pain to swipe up but easier to reach all the to the top of the screen? Smh. Doesn't make sense.

I'm often at the top of my screen switching apps and want to get to the home screen. Plus ONE press on a button instead of a swipe up and press and have it hide again. My thumb is on average in the middle of the screen so up and down or the same. Plus if holding the phone in my left hand it's easier to get at the top with my right hand index finger. Just tried the home button above and definitely faster and less annoying then the hidden nav bar. Doesn't seem like there is a similar back button anywhere that i can find.

All I have to say is software nav FTW!
