Scrolling in apps not smooth? - HTC One X

Not sure if it's just me .. but are some apps just not as smooth as you'd like them to be?
So for example, the Pocket app .. great looking app but it stutters when you try scrolling down the list .. found this happening in a couple of apps and wondered if anyone had this ..
Maybe it's because it's just using that one "hidden" core to do all the processing, but either way, someone should try and get a fix for this ..

It's probably cos the app isn't optimized for 4 cores, or not updated to fully support the Tegra 3 GPU. Who knows, it's a software problem, not a hardware one

Yeah true .. which is annoying .. we have "5" cores in the phone .. yet it can't scroll down a text list smoothly ..
I suppose, forcing the app to use an extra core would be out the question?

Same problem with scrollable widgets that aren't sense I guess and live wallpapers. Clearly a tegra related software problem as the One S is perfectly smooth

Hmmm that's annoying .. hopefully there's a fix in the pipeline for this ..

Yea seems like a driver issue to me too. It's still too new to give a final judgement about this. Right now it looks like software is optimized for dual core phones only, so we'll have to be patient on this.
Looking at the LinkedIn App in terms of scrolling also gives me the creeps.

Widgets now scroll fairly smooth since the update by the way, not sure about the apps you mention. Games running smoother now too - including teeter.

I just noticed that it does slow down the animation.

I made this app for educational purpose
Glad to hear if someone likes it
On my old SGS, everything works great, the animation is smooth just as without SA
Stock browser the same
So far, only ppl with SGS2 and TranformerPad complain about it...
A few days ago I bought SGS2 and I don't see any slowing down
Probably it is related with soft version, I have KH3 (I didn't test on old firmware)

Dont scroll too fast, scroll slowly then you will see the animation is not smooth, check at the end of the scrolling when the scrolling is slowing down until it stops

Good Job mate, Just tested the new version and there is no graphichs glitches.
Unfortunately I don't have Galaxy S2 now but I tested it on HTC Sensation which is suppose to be less performer than the S2 because of HTC Sense and had no problems what so ever with it as before the graphics seems slower and animation is jumpy.
Best regards
Glad to hear

Nice app.
The Galaxy S II has a blue tint and I wanted to adjust the colour temperature to be more accurate. Though whites are now actually white, it looks like there's a thick weird tint, kind of like a beige layer placed on top of the bluish under layer.
I was wondering if providing a negative value options for colours would help?
Cheers and great work on the app.
Seriously cool app

Are you noticing lag after 4.0.2 update?

I'm not talking major lag, just a tiny bit when browsing the apps deck or widgets.
Yes, especially when scrolling through the Widget screens. Also had 2 Launcher force closes since flashing 4.0.2 Yesterday. Hope 4.0.3 will take care of that..
Yeah I noticed that as well... it's very slight, but it was noticeable for me right away.
Did you guys have yakju from the start? or switched over from another build?
I immediately noticed it with the keyboard. Slightly annoying .
Same here. GO Launcher is really bad. Stock is a bit "sticky" too.

You guys need to go into settings, into developer options and turn on " Force GPU rendering". It will speed things up.

Maybe one of the reasons for crashing was the acceleration and they disabled something to cure it but made worse. Sigh.

Switched to the latest version of the 4.0.1 stock build, and things are back to normal again. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't in my head lol
I think I'm gonna wait it out with this image till google releases 4.0.3. Because they obviously broke something in 4.0.2 :S
the only lag Ive really experienced is with google voice commands. After hitting thehome screen button you have to wait a second before hitting the microphone- if you hit it right away nothing happens. Maybe a little lag with the keyboard in the firt 30-45 seconds the phones on but thats it for me. Now signal thats another issue and that ones annoying.

It has to do with the CPU governors, not everyone seems to be experiencing the lag issue which is weird. Got 15min left on mikes 2.1.1 will see if his release runs better, if not restoring to 4.0.1 until 4.0.3
Just rooted mine and my speed issues seem to be gone on 4.0.2. No idea as to why that is.
I too noticed this on the homescreen, browsing apps/widgets, web browsing... I use a live wallpaper and when I scroll to the left or right the live wallpaper stutters and just pressing the home button repeatedly while on home screen... the live wallpaper stutters...
like someone else said... I think it's something to do with the adjustments they made to the CPU governor
Just upgraded to it 10 minutes ago
Android nub question alert: lots of people here flash in a moments notice, so are you backing up your settings/apps/data etc using some app to restore after flashing? If so, what r u using?
Thanks

I personally use MyBackupPro, works great for me. Titanium Backup is a very good app as well. Also suggest to always do/have a Nandroid Backup to go back to just in case.
UPDATE: Anybody that's interested, 2.1.1 eliminated most of the lag I was experiencing on Stock 4.0.2.
thank you sir!

Multitasking

I have noticed sometimes that when I use the multitasking button and switch tasks, the apps seem to restart. I am not sure this is normal. Can anyone help with this or is it just me?
Same here. I suspect that is how android works.

I have had other Android phones and I am sure thats not how it works. I could be wrong though, I went to Windows Phone for 6 months or so and forgot how Android works. Just getting re-acquainted.

Thanks for the answer but it made no difference
I wonder if it is something to do with either the number of background activities or the time they are in the background as sometimes muti tasking works as I would expect and sometimes apps get reloaded. Odd.

Upgrade to Firmware 2.09.720.1

I upgraded to firmware 2.09.720.1 and I have noticed that there have been major improvements in performance.
The phone does not lag anymore.
Also I noticed that the Media Link HD has been added to connectivity.
I wanted to know if any other improvements have been made by this upgrade, since I could not find any log stating the changes...

True, that.

I am in India too and I got the update. I have unlocked the bootloader and I was surprised that I got the OTA working without requiring locking it. Maybe it is a requirement for running RUU only. All I had to do was flash back the stock recovery for the OTA flashing to work.
Edit:
Update gave me a new baseband and that renders the RUU I have useless. Started getting reboots when answering phone calls. Went back my trusted modaco vanilla and a kernel I have built updated to kernel verrsion 3.0.38

NO. Instead, switching between tabs is smoother and faster after the update.. I don't have the Calendar/Agenda issue..
The Network Operator name is also fixed.
On the lock screen and in the notification bar it used to show "airtel".
Now it shows "AirTel"

Help
I am thinking of buying a htc one V,my requirements are moderately heavy games, apps and not too much multitasking..
since both the One V and Ace 2 have similar price, what phone would you recommend?
Thanks n advance

For heavy gaming the Ace 2 would be probably better (2 core, but 800mhz vs 'ghz simple core, and MALI400 vs Adreno205, and more RAM). The question is that the look of the phone will be enough for you
music player
hey folks i got a new problem while playing music on headset on my HTC one v updated to 2.09.720.1. it knocks in every song like a sharp noisy spikes. i restart the phone and song continue to play where i left flawless but after 30 odd seconds of play song stops playing and when i play the song the same knocking sound appears... anyone having this problem?? what should i do? it happened after the update.
The new update gives boot loops
I had updated to the new update! now the phone restarts every few hours and also when the phone RAM gets a bit loaded! has any 1 experienced this? What should i do? I factory formatted , still no good results! its still rebooting..
Should i instal the previous update? how / or Should i go for the new Cynpogen/MIUI?

Lag and stutter. HTC, what happened?

Hello XDA people,
I bought unlocked HTC 10 few days ago and I am really disappointed by using HTC software. I am coming from ultra debloated Galaxy S6 and touchwiz (I know you won't believe).
With HTC 10, I have lag and stutter all around - system apps and other play store apps... It is fast when opening apps but scrolling lag is present in every possible app, even Settings app. I have latest update and I have done factory reset after latest update but lag is still here. How is this possible for HTC device? As far as I know, they were always very fast and clean with their own Sense Android experience. What happened?
Did you buy new or used? I've had my unlocked 10 since launch I only really get lag with power saver turned on.

Yes, why?
I have the same HTC10 WWE with same sw version.
Compared to HTC U11, HTC 10 is definitely slower on opening apps and scrolling. I confirm that in Facebook and Google Photos, the scrolling lag is there when the content hasn't fully loaded yet. But heavy lags like your description is not the case on mine, in setting app is butter smooth, no lag at all.
It is possible that you cleared all caches so that the loading speed is slower. You feels S6 is faster and probably it is the case because even Samsung has a relatively bad sw, but the hardware is top, USF 2.0 for S6 if I remember rightly meanwhile emmc5.1 for HTC 10. That's 2 times the speed difference.
