It seems very slow once you tap an app to see its details, or hit back to get out of it. Many times you can even see the transition animation pause in the middle. Scrolling and browsing is fine. I come from using an Atrix running CM10, and while the N4 is way faster in everything else, the play store shows no improvement whatsoever. Is it just me or shouldn't Google do a better job optimizing this app, given how frequently it is used.
Same experience here.

I'm watching a video side by side with my Note 2 and it looks like the Note 3 stutters when playing back the same video. Nothing crazy but it's there. I mean there's stuttering in the browser. Now there's stuttering in Youtube. Videos my freaking 3 year old hacked touch pad can play smoothly. What the hell is going on here?
I can't be the only one experiencing this. I'm starting to regret upgrading to the Note 3. My only hope is a custom rom comes along and solves all this crap.
No issues with me, and I watch two videos at a time. I'm using a T-Mobile n3.

The same thing is happening to me but only when watching the Hulu plus app. I switch it to med quality, everything plays smooth. But only in High quality its unwatchable. It might be the app itself.

I too am having these issues. Minor stuttering on Youtube App and Hulu Plus app on high settings Major Stuttering. I guess I'm trying to determine if this is a software/app issue or a hardware issue. I also tried a Movie Trailers app with HD Trailers. I think it was called Cine Movie Trailers, and it had minor stuttering like the youtube app. If someone can try these apps specially the Hulu Plus app which seems to have the biggest problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Wan to make sure before I request an exchange.
Thanks!
It could be smart pause, try disabling it.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately smart pause setting is off. Seems to be something else. Anybody can check if they have this problem in hulu plus high setting?
Thanks

Dont bother with an exchange. It has to be a software issue because our devices are more than capable of playing videos. Besides im on my second exchange and the same stuttering happens in both apps

I have this issue on my tmobile Note 3. I first noticed it in the Hulu Plus app whenever I set the quality to high. Second time I noticed it was streaming video through video players such as mx video and the stock video player. This would happen with standard avi videos as well as 720, 1080 videos. Haven't tested youtube though.
Hello everyone!
Update: So I went to my local AT&T store to check these issues on the demo unit and installed the Hulu Plus app and the playback is exactly the same that we're experiencing. On the YouTube app though, the playback was smooth as butter and what I noticed was the YouTube app on the demo unit had the old YouTube logo on it's icon. So when I got home I uninstalled the youtube app updates and returned it to it's factory installed state. That resolved the YouTube problem!!
As for the Hulu Plus app, I contacted Hulu and went through their troubleshooting steps with no success and then answered some questions about my device. The representative then stated that the data was passed on to their mobile developers. So I'll keep anyone updated if that yields some results. If you're having these issues with Hulu Plus, I encourage you to notify it to hulu customer support on their web page. They gave me a 2 week credit on my subscription for my inconvenience.
Hope this gets resolved soon.

Thanks. The hulu plus app is definitely jacked. What i find interesting is the adds usually play right, but when it gets to the actual show, it stutters.

Yeah, I found that odd also. But I think the ads play at a lower picture quality. That's what I think anyways. I'm not sure what's happening there
Hi everyone,
Just to let you guys know that Hulu sent me an email saying that they "put a fix in place on their side of things" and instructed me to shut down my device for 60 seconds and turn it on and play a video. So I did and videos seem to be playing smooth. No more stuttering! The app seems to have lost the option to choose video quality instead it chooses it automatically depending on your connection speed. Video quality is very good though!

I, too, have this problem. Thought I was going crazy at first because it was so slight I'm on non rooted stock rom but has Apex launcher installed. I recall Youtube videos playing fluenty at some point before installing Apex. No+ saying Apex is the culprit here. But that is my "fixpoint"

So have you tried to uninstall Apex to see if the stuttering in YouTube went away? I have Nova installed and can't remember if I tried the youtube app while I still had Touchwiz on because I installed Nova almost right away.
I'm going to try this tomorrow I guess just to say I tried it because you never know. Though I doubt it because I also have stuttering in scrolling on almost any browser and that I definitely checked while I was still fully stock, no Nova and no root.
I've been installing so many Roms to try to remove the scroll lag from facebook, I've turned off scrolling cache, overclocked cpu/gpu the only way i managed to reduce the lag on facebook was to set my governor to 'performance'
So i've finally found a better solution, i've found the archive of facebook apps from the facebook developer site https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/downloads
Or a direct download to V10 https://developers.facebook.com/resources/Facebook-10.zip
The archive goes back to version 10 and it goes further if you are able to build the app yourself through SDK. I've found V10 is MUCH smoother than the latest version, more than likely because it is a 'lite' version compared to the new version. It doesn't have the in built video player or web browser and probably some other features i'm not aware of yet as i've not used it much yet but thought i'd share in case anyone else is stressing about facebook lag
Please note I did find you need to disable 'Chat Heads' from the messenger app otherwise you will get a glitch. Also there is still some small lag issues but it is massively reduced.
Hit a thanks if you found this useful please
Group of good developers should get together and modify Facebook application. Not only that app needs lots of optimizations but it's design is not quite good. There are a lot of concepts of material designed Facebook app which looks amazing.
Never had never will

I've found that if you use per app profiles and set the governor to 'performance' and set the clock speed to around 1500mhz you get no scrolling lag. I use franco kernel now as i've found it to be fast and the cpu temps are a lot lower than my last kernel.
I use m.facebook.com and the CM Browser. I set CM for full-screen mode and pin the Facebook bookmark to the home screen. It's just like the Facebook app but without the lag or the battery drain. Pretty much perfect.

Yeah I tried that but couldn't find a browser I was happy with that had fullscreen. You should try V13 in the link its the last version that doesn't lag. V16 the next release after V13 has big lag issues. I prefer using the app because of notifications ect..

Uninstall Facebook and WhatsApp ( both Apps are Spyware to me ). I use Facebook inside of Firefox Beta and never had any trouble. There is one downside, you can be socially more active since you´re not online all the time and you also get a way better battery life
this is for android 5.1 ?
There's a new version out today...supposed to fix the lag. Not an app I had until today. GF forced me.. Gotta like some stuff,whatever the he'll that is, so she can get something for her chicks game. Gawd facebook((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

They release performance fixes all the time but it still lags. They add too many features IMO.

If you have lag, try this http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/34khjk/protip_if_your_still_getting_memory_leak_problems/
This turned my phone from a choppy mess to a much smoother experience. It is like night and day right after killing the process. Even chrome scrolling improved 100 percent.
Like in the thread I set up tasker to kill systemui every hour. No ill effects so far except my wallpaper turned back to default.

I'm glad I don't have any issues like this.
I don't really have this issue, but I've tried it with ROM toolbox pro/lite - Tools - Rebooter - and Restarted System UI.. Yeah, I've noticed that's it's a lot smoother and snappier. Dang! Lollipop is a kindof a mess.
I have this problem on twitter, play newstand, any forum site browsed with Google Chrome and even the new adblock plus browser.
Does doing this reset your battery timers?

not sure how to do that exactly, i just made a new time based profile repeating every hour. then made a task under app, kill app, and selected systemui.
pretty simple just click around in tasker for a minute and you will find a way to do it.
I've set up tasker to kill system Ui but haven't noticed much difference, I still have scrolling lag with various browsers and some apps such as Google play, the latest update for play newsstand and Tapatalk. The latest update to twitter works fine now though.

The worst problem with scrolling is XDA. The junk ads here are abysmal.
Can also be done from Settings→Applications→Application Manager→All→System UI→FORCE STOP.
Does killing System UI (I added all 3 of them) via Tasker actually work if you aren't rooted?
Scrolling in Chrome for me is abysmal and everything is so laggy in general. Not to mention the 10 hour battery life.

You want less ads? Try the XDA Classic theme on this site. Theme selection is at the bottom on the left side.
I prefer the classic theme. It's the same since 2006 when I joined after buying an i-mate JAMin (HTC Prophet).

I'm going away for 11 days, and i'm tempted to flash Android N, but don't want to be with a device which may be unstable enough when I'm on my travels, especially as I'll be using the Camera.
Would you guys recommend staying in MM or moving over to N, as we're on R4 now, I'm guessing the 'major' bugs have been quashed?
Thanks in advance.
Don't go away for another 13 days, so guess I've got time to play with N, but thought I'd ask what everyone thinks, whether it can be used as a daily.

I only experienced stability issues with DP3 (isolated to the N9; N6 was fine). All other releases including DP4 ran as well as Marshmallow performance-wise.
With DP4 Snapchat and the Google camera app is lagging. Did not do factory reset though. Freezes and reboots approximately twice a day.
