Scrolling smoothness

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 Samsung Galaxy Note 8 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".

It's a typical Samsung phone. In other words, not the best. You'll see some frame drops and stuttering on certain apps. Compared to a Pixel phone, it's very choppy. Compared to other phones, especially Samsung, it's maybe a little better than usual.

I'm on my second day of use and I've found the fluidity of the interface to be smooth and without any lag. YMMV.

Ironically the only jumpy, stuttery scrolling I've encountered on this phone is with the official XDA app! Uninstalled and use Samsung browser and dark theme. Slicker than a buttered Otter.

I get a small stutter jumping from home screen into the app menus, had it from the minute it was unboxed. Annoying really!

My S8 had pretty choppy scrolling, especially when scrolling slowly (keeping finger on the screen). However, my Note 8 is buttery smooth in every app so far!

Mine seems very choppy when scrolling YouTube comments

I will say this: on performance mode, this is significantly minimized. I'm actually impressed!

I've set all animations at .5 and haven't seen any stutter or lag at all. I really don't remember any before I changed the settings. It's just an automatic thing I do with Samsung phones. I am also on high performance mode.

My animations are on 0.5 as well, and in performance mode it is almost flawless. That's the key I've realized. Non-performance mode was noticeably worse for me (which is why all the store models looked choppy to me - they were incapable of going into performance mode).

Besides slightly raising brightness and setting the resolution all the way up what else does performance mode do?

Avoids throttling the CPU I think.

Animations set at 0.5.
Smooth scrolls in browsers and tumblr twitter

i have set the animations to 0.5 but Twitter still lags badly.. bit fustrating tbh compared to the iphone twitter app.. i don't understand whys look and perform so much better on iphones

I haven't noticed any lag scrolling since I got it. I just turned Animations off today, I didn't realize you could do that in the Dev options now. TBH I don't like animations just to have animations, I turn them off all my PCs too. If I run into any issues with them off, I"ll try .5

For those who feel choppy, I kindly ask you to disable any services in the accessibility and try again. I have not experienced any stutter except for occasion stutter when I scroll in 'running service' in 'developer option'.

Is exynos throttled more than Snapdragon versions? I've used both now and notice slight lags in exynos (balanced mode)

Running processes are fine, but Chrome (e.g. this page), Twitter etc. are quite choppy. I'm running high performance mode, think it helped a little but not enough. Hope it's something they'll be able to fix with an update

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. :/

so laggy upto the extent unbelievable for snapdragon845
so sorry for wrong information. I was wrong.

Your suppose to reboot the phone after purchase. Did you do the purchase reboot or is the phone really that bad?

unfortunately, yes. but if you use custom launcher, you can make a detour of it.
so sorry for wrong information. please forgive my ignorance.

so sorry, everyone. my post is wrong.
I forgot to turn off Miui optimization. if you turn off MIUI optimization in developer mode, lag issue is totally gone. sorry for wrong information and please forgive my mistake which occured from my ignorance.

No, it is just humor so do not take it personally. No I do not own an xiaomi phone but what do you think of the mix 3? What are the weak points of the phone? Does the slider work as claimed? How about the GPS? Are you getting L1/L5 bands?

I have a Mix3, and yes I can notice the laggy scrolling of the phone when using FB app, when you flip scroll, its snappy.
but when you drag scroll, especially when its slow, you will notice the choppiness, so rough. i dont know why.
i can see some iphones that when they drag their FB app slowly, its still looks smooth. but with mix3. its not that good.
hope its just software issue. or do we need to adjust some lines on some scripts?

Yeah it feels like it lags a lot. Not buttery smooth like say on Samsungs but definitely not the best it lags a lot trust me. Hope they fix it with a software update

My Nokia 8.1 always gives little lag while scrolling. May it be a long web pages or in google now or news app... dont know is it because of GPU or anything else... hope nokia and google fix this with an OTA update

I feel you. It should arrive this week i think the february update. Fingers crossed. Quick question do you play Brawl Stars or other games that require 2 fingers at the same time one for walking and one for shooting , it freezes for a sec or two then you remove the finger and touch it again to make it work. Any experience like this?

I just disabled usage access of Digital wellbeing (not much of use to me) , scrolling and UI is very smooth now

It frequently freezes even after Q OTA upgrade, that is ridiculous, my phone is still brand new.

very good no problem very smooth

I'd say by default, it lags a bit, So 7/10.
Works fine on performance governor, no lags.

stock is very laggy, everywhere, I come from a very low spec motorola phone and it wasnt as laggy as this one. is there any way to fix it? I already tried to change the refresh rate and it wasnt possible.

Hello, try to change Hz, if it is impossible, have it repaired, they will fix it because it's delayed a bit, they will know what to do or try to program it from scratch

I factory reset for second time, and I noticed the scroll is much smoother before activating Dark Mode, or messing with any other settings, or updating anything after the reset. definitely something breaks the smoothness but I'm not sure what is it.
I also have disabled the android surface control in Chrome and increased the animation frames using the debloat script. that helped a lot. still not perfect thought.
