Hey all,
I bought a One Plus 2 yesterday (coming from the Galaxy S6) and immediately noticed how unbearably laggy the Oxygen OS was - am I the only one experiencing this? I get a few moments of fluid animations but then things just get choppy, especially compared to the Galaxy S6. I've since put the Chinese Hydrogen version on and it seems a lot more fluid but I just feel like it should be a lot faster? I've been considering just selling it on but this phone is perfect in nearly every other regard.
I was thinking that maybe this is just how things will be until some decent updates come along? Unless I'm the only person experiencing the choppiness.. Then I suppose I should be pretty worried indeed. As a point of reference, I've also used the Moto X 2014 and Z3 Compact which both seemed considerably smoother in operation. Some input from you guys would be great, along with any tips you might have to get the most out of this amazing phone.
Thanks.
Lol coming from an s6 you think its laggy? I switched from an s6 and compared to that this is the fastest phone I've ever had

Yes it is laggy as oxygen is still on beta, but you should wait and give time as it is a beast, give some time to one plus and they will fix the issues
You did update it right? The build it comes with is as dog**** as the home button is
Just update to 2.0.2 and u'll be fine.

Yup.. It usually lags when you switch to airplane mode.

Phone is brand new. OxygenOS is in beta.. Let some development happen man, these specs dont lie
I updated and just got mine! Excited but it is slow. Some things up
Seems fast to me. I showed the OPT to my coworker who has an S6 Edge and he was impressed. He said it was faster than his S6. I didn't even ask him that.
Lol you obviously didn't use the fingerprint sensor to turn it on then or try to go to the home screen pressing the sensor home button. Jk
I've had several phones with fingerprint scanners and this one is by far the fastest so far and the phone is quick. Home button works great also. Maybe I just got lucky.
Yeah mine's pretty slow. I went into a phone store today and tried out the Huawei Mate 7, which on paper looks way behind the Oneplus 2, and it KILLED my OPT when opening apps.
I often get lag here and there, but this is less of a problem for me. My mane gripe is how long it takes to open an app. Like, I hit the Phone icon and it literally takes up to a second to launch. That Mate 7 was practically instant.
What gives, Oneplus?
A lot of the issues I initially had with oxygen were fixed after disabling hardware buttons, including excessive battery drain, heating up, and lag similar to what you're seeing. Maybe it has something to do with grounding? Or maybe I just got used to it :S
This phone is just not meant to be a daily driver with the frustration it brings. If you want to be less mad install cm 12.1. Makes things much better than oxygen
Try flashing OxygenOS 2.0.2 again and then factory reset. You may see a bump in speed. I personally have no quirks with the fluidity of the phone. While it does have some bugs all over the place, never once did the phone feel sluggish. But with that said, the OS does need a lot more polish to really make it feel truly complete. Right now despite all the OTAs OxygenOS still feels incomplete, or maybe its because I'm too used to the versatility of a CM based ROM.
It's slow for about a minute after boot but then things are really fast

Actually, the problem is because 2 google apps are using your CPU way too much. Disable the sheets and the slides apps in settings and you should be fine. CPU usage dropped by 40% in cpu-z after disabling these apps.
Update:- actually the CPU now has really less usage after disabling (5% after disabling.).

That's something new.. I anyway just remove these apps from my /system..
Im on OOS 2.1.2 rooted.. Having xposed and AK kernel.. No lags.. Super fluid..
For those complaining about the slow app launching, download a 3rd party launcher and you'll see instantly the difference in app launching. I prefer google now launcher to maintain that stock feel.

You see, I saw some lag and I went to developer options>show CPU usage and the most of the CPU usage came from the sheets and slides apps.
I just recently got a G6. I love it. Its amazing. A thing I noticed is that when I am scrolling (not even long pages. I recently experienced this with Google Images and not so many images had been loaded), I experience hiccups/stutters on Google Chrome. I tried Firefox. Same issue. Is anybody else experiencing this? I also Force Rendered GPU and reduced the animations to 0.5 but didn't work.
Force GPU Rendering should have helped this scrolling issue, I think you should block ads that were also responsible for the hiccups.
Also if your phone is rooted, install L Speed, Entropy , or fstrim apps found on Play Store , they make lower specced phones be smooth specially slow Samsungs. LG G6 is powerful enough due to SD 821 therefore just like the Google Pixel or the One Plus 3T , these also have smooth performance and fast too.

Hello,
I'm noticing I'm getting a lot of input lag. Scrolling or swiping feels off. Using custom launcher like Nova, scrolling in app drawer is horrible so it is unusable. First few seconds screen is reacting fine and following my finger just right, but after that there is horrible delay between them. Same thing on Instagram app and some other apps etc... What can I do? Im not using LastPass or something similar.
Probably need to wipe data/cache for the launcher and apps that are not playing well or may be factory reset if above doesn't help.
It doesn't help. Even after factory reset lag is there.
These kind of lag and software problems I had in the era of the LG G2. It is very sad to see that LG didn't optimize their software after many years.
Honestly, I don't notice that. I don't think it's typical.
There are many complaints, sure, but lag on input isn't one.
I hate giving this advice, but maybe factory reset? That really isn't normal at all.

Yes, I have it too. Cant do anything about it, problem increases with custom launcher, there is perceptible lag when clicking and app opening.
It might be fixed after the Oreo update.
Yeah we all have the same problem. Someone notice it, someone don't. I think they won't fix the problems, because the same problems are there few years ago and today is still the same.

While it is true that some of us are more sensitive to this sort of issue, if it's really that bad, there would be nobody NOT noticing it. I am not terribly picky about some kinds of lag, but any kind of scrolling issues drive me crazy and I can't complain about the G6 overall (some apps have weird behavior regardless of the device).
My first thought when I read this description was that it must be a bad app that is sucking up resources. But you said it continued after a factory reset, which would eliminate that. Or, did you mean "after a factory reset and setting everything back up the way I had it"?
Where you live, can you go play with one in a retail store and see if it's the same?

Yes, after factory reset and without setting things up input lag is still there. I had LG phones in the past and all of them have this kind of lag and touch latency issues in custom apps and launchers. So now I know that is the LGs thing. I was sure they were fixed the problems after few long years so that's why I go for their new flagship - LG G6. Unfortunately I was wrong that things were fixed and now the past continues to live.
Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering" should make the beast smoother/snappier. If root available try L/Speed/ Entropy/ fstrim apps found on Play Store. Do install a custom kernel and play with Kernel Adiutor.
Oh... After toggling 'Disable HW Overlays' under developer options all the problems have disappeared. But this is not permanent fix unfortunately. I don't know what the LG thinks and why the LG thinks and why this problem exists for few long years on their devices.
How could LG be responsible for custom 3rd party apps?
I had lag on Google play games app too some times ago on my G6 and an app update for the games app fixed it, not LG!

What are you talking about? I have the same lag and stutter in LG based apps like LG stock launcher and all other apps where scrolling and swiping is necessary.
No such thing is happening on the phones of other manufacturers like Samsung, HTC etc.

Then you should try to fix it with a Software repair on LG Bridge because it will flash the whole firmware again, better than factory reset, because if an faulty OTA caused it, you can't fix it with factory reset.
And please don't mention Samsung and say that there are no lag issues...

Okay, that will fix all the problems on the brand new device which came with latest software preinstalled.

Same thing on my US997 model. This is absolutely horrible. I went from my honor 8 (broke the screen good) to an LG G6 expecting a device I could find love in. I'm not enjoying this phone very much.
Beyond oddball touch input lags making Gboard keyboard useless on occasion, the overall software experience on this phone is borderline stupid. I don't know where people can even have the room to complain about huawei's EMUI interface at all in comparison to LG's factory firmware.
My work provided phone S8 is a wondrous device all around compared to my new personal G6. This is upsetting.
I'll gladly repair my Honor 8 and go back to that and get rid of this G6 if oreo updates don't improve things. The input lags bugs, inability to disable camera audio, horrible front facing camera, inabilty to link notification&ringtone volume, oddball notification sound setting issues, terrible screen-grab funtions, slow fingerprint reader, lack of notification led (should have known this before purchase, oops), cheap ass rotating mass vibrator, annoying as hell content sharing panel that shifts options RIGHT as you click on an app, etc... This phone is annoying. I loved my honor 8, EMUI rocks.
Rant over. lolz
I don't know if it really works, but I used a touchscreen calibration app on my T-Mo G6 and have pretty much no issues. It was slightly laggy before I used the app.
Never had such lag.
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 OnePlus 6 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".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
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?

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. :/
Just got my OP6T yesterday and I'm getting lots of lag. Mostly scrolling lag when I'm scrolling slow through the app drawer, play store, etc. (fast scrolling is always smooth) I've also experienced lag in general while using the launcher and just doing normal functions. This is my first OnePlus device and I've always heard they are super smooth with no lag and so far this has not been the case for me.
Is my device defective? Is there some known issue I can fix? I don't want to have to return it but I don't want a laggy phone either.
(UPDATE) The cause for the lag seems to be gesture navigation and also immersive mode via a third party app (immersive mode is not a feature within the device but can be accessed by apps even without root). I've been using gesture navigation since I bought the phone and have had scrolling lag the whole time. I switched to the traditional 3 button nav last night and the lag was gone. Another user reported they are having terrible lag issues while using immersive mode but once they disable it the lag is completely gone.
Did you install any apps yet? Note most 3rd party apps are not fully well versed on Android 9.
Try updating to 9.0.5 and see if the problem persist. When I received the phone, I turned animation scale off. You can try that and see if you still notice lag.
You may have a defective one. Mine is extremely smooth. Dare I say it might be the smoothest Android experience I've ever had.

Yes, I've installed my normal apps which is only like 30. I'm not a big app user so don't have tons and all those I use have worked good on pie for some time. I also have a Pixel 2XL and have been on Pie since the second beta last spring.

I also have a Pixel 2XL and didn't notice the lags I'm getting on the OP6T. I'm currently troubleshooting to see if I can find a solution.
I have not experienced one time lag as I can remember last days. I updated to latest firmware straight away
I'm on 9.0.4 - not done anything at all with it, and it's as fast as anything. If it's like that out of the box then it sounds like you've got a defective device.
I'm also getting stuttery scrolling on most apps. Came from Pixel 2xl and it was smoother than this. Should I be concerned I have a faulty device? My first one plus phone as well. It's not bad enough to bail on device but is definitely noticable and annoying.
Omg what's goin on in here, i came straight from pixel 2 xl and 6t feeeeels far more smooth than pixel, its blazing fast,
Who is your carrier? Maybe it's something specific to them?

Don't get me wrong. This thing is way faster than the p2xl. Its just when I'm scrolling slowly reading on different apps, it misses here and there. Stuttery scrolling. It seems a little better after the update. I was scrolling on Zedge and it was like it was 10 fps..

I installed ElementalX kernel and so far it seems to have fixed the stutter while scrolling. I'm paying close attention and if it keeps up I'll be returning it for another device. The only reason I'm stressing it so much is one of the main reasons I bought it is because for years the OnePlus devices have been praised for being super smooth, fast, with no UI lag. Lag, frame drops, stutter, and UI faults of any sort bother me greatly. My Pixel2XL has had a bit of lag here and there but overall it's been smooth and pleasant to use so I can't handle anything less.

This is exactly the issue I've experienced. It's only during slow scrolling. I've also had lag in other areas like opening folders and closing apps but it's mostly been while scrolling -- but like I said so far the ElementalX kernel seems to have fixed it.

I changed all the cpu cores to their max frequency but left the governors default. That is it. Battery life seems the same.
I will say also that I noticed within EX Kernel Manager that the CPU cores were running very low frequencies by default which makes me wonder if for some reason my device had drastically underclocked cores. The max frequency I was seeing on any cores was 1.7GHz.

Yea, I think that's the problem since the cpu is designed to go to 2.8GHz on the main cores. For whatever reason mine were never going above 1.7. I'm hoping some custom ROMs and kernels will resolve this issue.
