I've read about lag issues on this forum, but I wasn't sure if it meant the same thing as I am experiencing. For me, no matter what ROM or Kernel, although it is better with Bullet on lagfree or performance, I get micro-stuttering (hiccuping in otherwise perfectly smooth motion) almost contstantly, but kind of in intervals.
It happens while scrolling, it happens during games, it happens no matter which home replacement I use. I don't think its a GPU performance issue because I've had a couple phones less powerful than this one that didn't do this. Is this the way everyone's phone is, or did I just get a defective one?

Yeah Mine Does This As Well Try V6 Supercharger Mod It Helps Alot
I have the same thing...it seems like its a issue with 2d graphics
I wonder why that is... it's not like the Adreno in our phones has less 2d performance than the Tegra or the SGX540 @ 200 Mhz. Hopefully we can get an update to fix this.
it would help if people complaining about this micro lag can show a video of what is happening, as it games and apps runs smooth like butter in my phone
check there aren't too many unnecessary left over apps hanging in the background, make sure when you exit an app, it's actually exited, quit
simply closing or changing to another screen / app will leave the other apps running in the background
that's the only times i get those micro lags
this phone runs sooooo smooth, even with multiple apps running simultaneously, even under heavy file access
in my old Nexus S it would have halted the phone until the file copy process finished, before i can even run a game while waiting for the copy to finish
only under those situations i get micro lags, otherwise this phone is incredibly smooth when there's nothing else running in the background
I don't really have a way to capture it on video or I would. For me, it happens to the same extent whether I have no apps open or a ton. It seems like either some people are more sensitive to it, or some people got bad phones like with the blobs.
I suppose I might be experiencing "micro stuttering" but only if I really pay attention. Yeah, this phone is smooth like butter. Then again, i'm coming from an Eris. I experience no lag though. Everything is smooth. now i'm running bomba-deery-air or whatever it's called with the jugs kernal so I could OC it to 1.8 but it was already fast. I was just being greedy. Just putting my experience out there. Have had the phone for a couple weeks now.

Okay, I just started experiencing real lag, albeit momentary lag, not like any lag I've experienced on any windows machine or device I've ever used, while downloading a couple torrents in the background. But considering we've only got a gig of ram that's not a bad right? I'm still not complaining. Phone still kicks [email protected]%! As far as I'm concerned.

i experience skipping or micro stutter on home screen .
If you take your finger and slide to right or left like your scrolling to next home screen. first start very very slow. then speed up a tad then try fast ..
you will see skipping or stuttering of the icons at medium scroll speed.
i dont have a camera to photograph it.
the att galaxy s2 doesnt do this. its like a ghosting like gaming on a 5 ms led monitor a 2ms moniter reduces it.
guys i have this problem too, then i start playing with the voltage and now i'm getting to the point where its completely gone. Undervolt is generally good but some phone use more voltage than other.
also using system tuner pro mess around with the memory a little, under "visible application" i see twlauncher is there, i increase it to 24mb and it seems to help.. again i'm not 100% sure if these are the two thing that cause it but it helps alot and i also have live wallpaper too and now my stuff is running smooth.
This problem only happens when you try to use a 3rd party launcher, if you are using the stock touchwiz launcher, you will say, "these people are stupid and have no idea what they are talking about, my phones smooth as butter" this is really unfortunate because I love using ADW Launcher EX, but just use the stock launcher until ice cream sandwich comes out. I don't notice these micro studders at all anywhere else throughout the phone, this phone is bomb and anyone who says otherwise is clueless. I have the white one and love it. Its beautiful. Just can't wait for samsung to fix this lil problem in 3rd party launchers.
If you are talking about this:

flash a skyrocket rom, itll be waaaay better, i promise
I'm using ADW and experiencing no stuttering, micro or otherwise.
I've tried adw, ics, and go launcher ex. All of them suffer from the same problems on the more popular roms, although adw is the least problematic. I don't have this problem anymore since I installed domination rom 2.0. Games, apps, scrolling... no more stuttering... it's as smooth as an iPhone 4s unless the launcher rebooted... and even then it's only a few seconds till it's back to it's creamy state of tranquility
My SGSII HercuDom needs more w00t. It always needs more w00t!
Most people are blind to it. As a user of all platforms I can tell you there is significant stuttering on my SGS2 with any ROM.
So I can flash skyrocket roms and kernels?
I just wanna double check before I go flashing something lol. I wanna see if I can notice a difference.

If it is in the T989 forum it will work on your phone if it is the T989.
I've just installed the amaaazing GTA III ten-year anniversary edition on my Wildfire S. Everything loads, and I managed to find a decent HVGA version of the game data files.
Anyway, it's quite slow running at 600mhz on an unrooted stock rom. Anyway to speed it up a little? Is it because of RAM or CPU or what?
S-ON btw.
Dont think it will run it. All approved devices are dual core with pretty good graphics

Hmm, but I seem to be running it perfectly in terms of graphics. Sound, video everything works and is playable.
It just lags a lot when trying to move around. Like playing in slow motion.
Most likely would work on alquez's kernal.

Well, look at the bright side. You can predict enemy moves and shoot 'em easily.
I wouldn't know unless I installed it. Could just be processing power.
Hahaha, yeah would need some more processing power I guess.
Link to the game and files? Would like to try on CM7. 2 @ 800mhz
Edit: found the game.

No chance of running this on wildfire s guys, this game needs a lot of power.
Tried on my cm7.2.1 overclocked to 806mhz runs like crap, don't waste your time with the 500mb+ data download you'll just be disappointed.
Oh and your phone will heat up like the core of the sun.
The game is on the market, and a few other places but yes doesn't run well at all.
what's the size of apk you installed....
http://www.mediafire.com/?xk8bdqrrrd7yk76
Try this one, this is the ripped version of data pack from Andropalace.com
You can't use the files that the game downloads itself. Find the seperately ported HVGA files.
It does run nicely, it's just slow people.
on my WFS long time ago (1 week) when i was S-ON it run smoothly, people never lag... now, i have rooted WFS with CM7.2 @ 806MHz and it have 2FPS... hate beta CM7..
As much as i have used it....it runs fine on the stock rom without sound,but it lagged like hell on CM7(YES!!WITHOUT SOUND FILES!!)

I hope that alquez add hardware acceleration in next stable release
I had installed it, and on CM7.2 with 806MHz it still runs very slow. There's probably no chance of it running well on this phone, and to be honest, the controls for it will suck anyway. I have my old PS2. I might buy the original again.
I also tryed this, but it's very slow, i just waste my time. :S
Hi I am kind of dissapointed with the gaming performance, almost all games have frame lag shadowgun runs really choppy from start to finish, also samurai 2 is fairly laggy at some parts, and some low end apps that have reflections lag really bad,.. does any else experience this ? I'm on 4.0.2, also my t.prime doesn't run as smooth as it should, I'll try it on my Xperia s and see how it does.. it may be the game or just Ics....

The GPU in the GNex isn't the best. It's an overclocked version of the one found in the GT-i9000 Galaxy S.
That still doesn't make it a bad phone.

+1. Shadowgun, Dead Space, Spectral Souls run perfect. Never had an issue you're describing.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
No problems here. The gpu may be old but that doesn't make it bad.
Try 4.0.4
I've played Shadowgun and Dead Space just fine. All other casual games run great too.
MOST games runs smoother on my Tmobile Galaxy S2, compared to my Galaxy Nexus. What really bothers me is when something pops up on screen (like changing the volume) while gaming, it's really laggy. Some say it's ICS, some say it's the GPU, and some says because of the higher resolution of the Nexus.
Try playing a game like Mega Jump (free on play google), and while playing, adjust the volume. Why does it lag so much?
Cause toast notifications just aren't tweaked right. Maybe not run thru the gpu or something.
weird my epic didn't lag when swiping pages and the toast notification was on. And it has the same gpu. Same rom too cm9.

Have you tried modifing GPU clock? Franco kernel should be a good choice.

I have none of the issues you are reporting. In fact, it looks like a lot of other GN users also DON'T have that problem. I have played Dead Space, ShadowGun, BackStab, and others and they play without lag. I don't like lag and slowdown. I would not even bother playing them if there like this. ShadowGun for instance, I would not have played it as long as I have. Or got as far as I did if it was bad or lagged. Not sure why we all can play these games fine and you can't.

True this. It's still a good GPU that plays all games I've tried beautifully. Even GTA III plays buttery smooth.
If one game doesn't play smooth for any of you, you can always try Chainfire3D.
I'm all stock.. so none of you experience any kind of stutter ?....

Firmware 4.0.4 is faster when it comes to 3D. Gaming performance is actually excellent.

Im asking since i just got my Nexus about a week ago and immediatly flashed JB stock ROM. My gripe with the Nexus before JB was the weak-ish GPU it had which made me steer away from it until JB announcement just made me get it no questions. Now im testing ShadowGun and it plays perfectly smooth and Quadrant 2D/3D benchmarks always are at or near 60fps. Since i did not have a Nexus in the ICS days, are GFX/Games better in JB or was performance the same? Because i underestimated the GPU before but its doing a great job so far in my tests... note to self: Just try the damn thing and forget the specs on paper *lesson learned

about quadrant and the 59fps.. our devices are capped at 59fps. plus, our screen resolution is larger than most other devices, more pixels to push. so, at 59fps, it still looks great, on ics and jellybean. in jellybean we did gain a few more fps, but not in quadrant. if you want, go to the the main settings, developer settings, enable force gpu rendering. things will look a bit better, in the ui especially and in apps that can use gpu rendering. the "weak" gpu is just a myth that the media has scared us with.
I'm in ICS 4.0.4 and I feel sometimes Shadowgun doen't play all that smooth... don't know if it gets better in JB... but it's not 60fps... no way...

what about stock ICS vs. stock JB? any increase in gaming performance? or fps in nenamark?

I found this cool parkour type addictive game, I enjoy it really much, but... is it just my phone or it lags? I'm running the latest version of 'Custom stock rom'. Can somebody try it?

I have the mini note 2 rom too, but sometimes it slows down, really slows down a lot. Like it's lagging, like the time is slow.
yeh i have "lags" as well in certain parts, but i believe its a feature , slowmotion
i had the same thing "Lag" sometimes, and its not a feature,
(You can actually buy this gadget that slows down time)
I played this on my S2 and experienced lags, on my Nexus 7, it runs fast and good...
Same here
Its the same on my S2 I think its the game no lags its in the part of the game its has to slow down but its stupid it makes the game to look like it lags
It's so annoying, you can't enjoy the game to the max with the 'lags' in it.
I've recently started playing this game and been annoyed by how it lags. I'm on a level where there's my guy, a friend and the bad guy and it lags ALL the time. Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Awesome Game
I really like the concept, as for lags it get gets harder on new levels
With the new update just change graphic sitting for less lag.

Are you having similar problems with other games? If no, then you're probably right. :cyclops:
If the lag is present for other games, it is possible that it's ROM or kernel related (governor, mali driver and etc).

Nop, Only this game. I have other game that doesn't feel so smooth, but it's justified, because it has heavy graphics: Real Racing 3. And even that game i can play it well.
Besides that, i can run all other games with no problem at all in my GS2. I can play NFS Most Wanted without problems, for example.
