Does anyone have any advice on some tweaks, im rooted.
My phone still seems to be quite laggy, especially when i turn the lock screen off.
I know there's a lot of tweaks going around and just wanted to get some advice on best ones to use.
I have just started to use greenify to give me slightly better battery life.
I tried seeder, made matters worse after a while.
I think the phone is pretty underclocked and thats a lot of the problem.
thanks

no matter what u do..u will still see some lag here and there..LG gotta drop an update to fix all these slugginish and slow downs
Wait for an update for LG or an AOSP rom. There's not much else to be done with settings at this point.

Hey fellas!
Just got a new G4 to replace my Nexus 5, and I'm encountering some heavily disappointing performance issues like:
poor 3D performance - games like Boom Beach and Smash Hit run just... bad. mediocre/low fps gaming, where my Nexus 5 did perfectly fine!
2D performance (UI) - sometimes laggy UI transitions, typing really quick with SwiftKey keyboard is impossible, it's like the phone can't keep up with what I'm clicking fast, feels majorly laggy.
Anything I'm missing? and low performance/battery saving settings I'm missing? what's happening... oO

There's an option somewhere to lower graphics in games to save battery...its on by default...at least on h811 it is...also in dev options changing all animations to .5 or off fixes any laggy experience
Thanks, seems to help a bit, but it's right on the fine line between actually helping and just a placebo.
I mean, some really visually simple games (Smash Hit) shouldn't run with such low fps, especially not when considering the Nexus 5 ran it perfect.
What about the rest of the UI?
I suspect that some of the problems I'm having with SwiftKey are software related (might not be optimized for G4 yet?), since I'm noticing some other unrelated performance bugs in it; emailed that to them.
I got H815L myself and it's pretty good.
What's your Antutu score?
Personal experience with Swiftkey is it isn't optimised very well at all and only runs properly with a handfull of phones if at all. I gave up on it a long time ago.
As for UI performance, I haven't noticed any lag yet. Games run great too.
I would point the finger at the Apps you're using and make sure you've updated the software on the phone to the latest version.
The nexus phones feel less laggy because the transition animations are so slooooow just like on iphones, and it's just there to hide any lag as it takes so long to open and close the apps.
You'll get used to G4 I have no doubt

I got 49081 on Antutu, and I'm running v10H and all my apps are updated.
I do suspect it's the keyboard app itself messing around with me, because I see several more bugs except for the weird latency.
And just for comparison, the game Smash Hit (on HIGH set on graphics) runs choppy with a Nexus 5 running it perfectly.
I know and understand Android, but why do I need to get a new $500+ phone with new hardware only to find out my 2 years older phone is more "optimized"?

Man idk...maybe some bloat or config issue but i installed smash hit(never played til you mentioned it so thanks for giving me a new addiction)and it ran smooth even on high graphics...my h811 has same hardware and my antutu was much higher...my g4 has been my favorite device since my g2...the g3 was a pile and i hated it...you will have to check out whats clogging up your processing...something isn't right...if all else fails try backing up data and factory reset...many have reported this to solve many issues good luck!

Weird that you got 50k+ on antutu, most of the reviews I Google's were about 41k+.
How can I check what's choking the device?
I have nothing special installed; opened the box, turned the phone on, updated the latest OTA and then all my apps - games and some other stuff but nothing heavy that I didn't have on my N5...
Maybe I'll try to factory reset the phone some day next week and see the results.

Download a wakelock detector or something to see whats stayin active that isn't necessary...also are you rooted...if not you may want to do that...it will allow you to freeze and remove unnecessary and memory hogging apps and will give you a boost...i got rid of a lot of those day 1 and have had a great experience with my g4...we shouldn't have to do this to get the best out of this device but its the way android has gone...also with root you can try ctt mod and other performance boosters to really get the best experience...you can also get better battery life without the extra junk processes running in the back...there are many threads to teach you what can be done with the g4

Yeah, I pretty much know most of the basics of all the advanced tweaking, but since I have H815L the bootloader is locked, so rooting it is a bit pain in the ass.
Someday next week I'll just factory reset it and check again.
Thanks bud!
well ok.
Just did a factory reset and... Nothing.
So friggin disappointing, im completely clueless now.
right when the phone started up (completely blank after reset), downloaded and installed Boom Beach and Smash Hit, and the performance was still bad. Im so annoyed.
What the hell should i do? Why is my BRAND NEW phone is having poor 3D performance?

Root it and bump up lower clock speed on big/little cores with kernel audiutor...it will reduce lag and actually save battery as small processes cause it to jump around a lot on factory settings...short of doing this idk...

It means his device is running cooler than yours. He mentioned some tweaks to keep heat down.
There is also the CTT mod (in development)but it requires root.

Actually i just checked 3 different reviews and the avg antutue score for the G4 is 49k. if you run antutu back to back 3-4 times it will drop to 44k. If it wont rise above 45k then it indicates a heating device with throttling.
How can I check what's choking the device?

How is your battery life in general sot/run time ?
can you try playing your games in a low light environment. So your brightness will be much lower. Do you notice any difference ?
I've had the phone for a total of about 4 days now, SOT seems about 3-4 hours, better than my N5 so I'm happy so far.
Tried gaming with low light / cold environments, doesn't seem to change anything.
Not sure about the throttling, due to the fact that the device is actually pretty cold... not sensing any extreme heat (my N5 was way hotter).
After that factory reset I get about 48k on Antutu, and I actually tried two different "heavy" games (NOVA3 and Asphalt 8) and they run OK...
I genuinely have no idea what's the problem, so instead of rooting and tweaking stuff that seem to not have to be tweaked for others, I'll just wait till I get back home and compare the gaming performance with friends' devices.
If something goes wrong - warranty it is.
Man, I feel you! Been dealing with laggy UI and cursing my choice of purchase since day one. Anyways..
For games - have you disabled 'Game Optimzer' option from 'Battery & Power Saving'?
For laggy UI - Swiftkey is laggy as ****. So try Fleksy, it's a LOT smoother, I barely notice any lag (although it does hiccup once in a while...). As for general performance, you have to accept that some animations will be choppy - that's just how LG UI works, there is no work around. For me the phone was chugging a lot before I uninstalled Inbox by Gmail, after that the phone regained it's speed and it's pretty damn smooth now. It still stutters here and there but ...what to do. Also try delobating it and removing any unnecessary apps and services (you don't need to root for this).
OK so some updates.
Rooted the phone, debloated the s**t out of it, even managed to got to 5h 2m screen-on time with that lol.
Tried to tweak lots of other things as wellwell, got me some great bootloops in the process. eventually I practically totally wiped the system and flashed a 100% clean one.
Smash hit (on High setting in graphics) and Boom Beach still work a bit choppy.
NOVA3 seems to work ok.
AnTuTu is about 50.5k.
I seriously can't figure out what's the problem.
the 2d phone UI seems almost perfect, and the benchmark score seems OK.
What the hell could be wrong?
Is there any more testing (games/benchmarks/logs) I could do to try and figure this out?
It's going to take me another week till I go back to my country to check with a different H815L. Asked a friend with the US model, she claims Smash Hit works flawlessly fluid. can't understand that.
I find it funny, the fact that I might ask for an under-under-warrenty device replacement just because couple of games run bad.
Hoping the XDA gods would help me in some way, before heading the noob warranty-for-nothing route.
Thanks!

Dude i has the g4 H815L and it is works fine but maybe it becouse the root.
I has the device for few months with stock version of lg and my g4 works very good and when i play games like Goat Simulator he got hot if not very hot but if your device don't get hot becouse of games so for sure you won't get high preformance.
Plus my bettery works fine and my phone can work perfectly and smothly with smart watch and survive one day with out any problames.

Every CPU (SoC) is unique. Remember, even two identical CPUs can deliver different benchmark results, thus have different real world performance. Unless there's a software issue you haven't found out about yet, it's also likely that you just got a bad one.

Don't even hesitate. You paid for it hard earned money under the condition that it works as stated and advertised by LG. Now, as you told us, it does not. See my point?
When navigating Google maps my device gets fairly hot to the touch.
I am running cyanogenmod nightly with greenify to keep background apps down
In the past CM was always better battery life and lower temps. Has this changed? How do I get the best battery life out of my device? Flash another kernel? Go back to stock? Do I have a hardware problem?
Also my battery does not report 4900 mah in battery apps when fully charged. Any idea about this?
Thanks in advance!
Cyanogenmod cant take exynos octa and gets hot i had that issue couldnt fix had to go back to stock

So I may have solved my problem. I think you're right Cyanogenmod might not have a good setting for this CPU. Idownloaded kernel auiditor and switched to power save mode and underclocked the CPU and now I am getting ridiculously good battery life!

Sorry guys been busy.
So I am still on CM 12.1 nightly and getting good battery life now. Below is what I found helps:
1. Underclock and change CPU governor. This tablet haa 4 codes I believe 1900 mhz each. This is really overkill for most tasks. Your preference may vary for responsiveness, but I have settled on around 300-500mhz per CPU for my purposes. If you play games you can set profiles and turn up the CPU for those games if you like.
2. Install xposed framework - this is kind of a prerequisite for amplify and greenify
3. Install and configure greenify - this makes your apps chill and not use too much battery
4. Install and configure amplify - manages your wake locks and alarms so as not to drain battery
5. Install , tweak gravity box how you like it.
I think the biggest difference for me is the underclocking .. My tablet doesn't get hot when navigating anymore. I really couldn't deal with that because I'm thinking about the battery inside getting fried with heat. The other programs just add bonus battery and memory
This is interesting. I had also been on CM 12.1 and it was working pretty smoothly except the tablet at times got too hot to hold in your hand. It was also completely useless as a daily driver s it gave me max 2hrs screen on time (instead of 6.5 hrs) and for some reason it would take half a day to recharge the battery. Overall, not really very usable. I am now back on stock and took forever to unload all the samsung junk, optimize wakelocks etc, covert to F2FS etc. It is working OK now, but still nowhere near as smooth as CM12.1 was running on it before. Too bad because I love this tablet especially the fact I can just put my second sim card in and make phone calls etc (T705)
Can you maybe share what sort of general battery life you are really getting with the setup your described?
Clocking the CPU down to a 1/4 of the normal maximum speed seems very drastic, is it at all usable after?
Thanks!
Looks like my xl 2 is in need of a battery, she drains from 100--->80 in the first hour I'm home. I've found many online but thought I would ask the community if anyone has found a reputable dealer for replacement batteries. I've had issue with past iPhone batteries being less than stellar.
Also ****ing love this phone, couldn't have gotten rid of my P20 fast enough!
Try rooting and using Flash Kernel. Insane battery life.

Just wasn't a fan of the stock EMUI and then there wasn't much in the world of roms or kernels. I mean project treble was nice, I loved the havoc rom as it ran smooth and had some nice customization. It just didnt have the notch figured out yet or some other P20 pro specifics fingerprint etc. I wasn't blown away by the battery by any stretch even since, day one. The camera was however quite impressive, the night mode especially and great portraits. Soon as I got my hands on this pixel though, fell in love and not sure why it just, its just a nice device haha.

Will try that not before heading out for work, I just can tell by a few small features on the device that its not spring chicken so my assumption is its at least a year plus old.
*** Edit
So after literally download and flashing that kernel, typing just this edit using my phone I'm down 3%. Maybe it takes a bit to optimize I'm not really sure. I will say it does at least last me an entire day! (On the Stock kernel I mean)

You're not an idiot. Well, I don't know I've never met you IRL. You could be, I guess, LOL.
Seriously, though, not doubting your bad battery life. It's likely a rogue app. Or maybe really poor radio signal so your phone is constantly polling for a stronger signal.
You could always try running in safe mode, which disables all 3rd party apps. If battery life improves, then you know it's an app causing the drain.
If that doesn't work, try running in airplane mode. This will always increase battery life, but if it takes care of your abnormal drain, then you know it's related to signal strength.
All else fails, do a factory reset, don't restore anything, and run it for a while with no 3rd party apps.
If that fails to fix it, it could simply be a hardware issue. Its an electronic device. They fail and do funky things sometimes. You could always call Google and see if they will RMA it for a bad battery. Or if you have a UBreakIFix store near you, go talk to them. They are a Google partner and the one here in town is very knowledgeable.

The battery life on the Pixel 2 XL should be better than that to be honest. Especially if you have Android Pie. Let me know how it goes? What is your SOT?

On my Pixel 2 XL i get about 2.5 hrs SOT with 70% remaining.
Heres a screenshot I guess that's not awful it's just seems like heavy drain when using it. I think I'm just being picky
I have replaced my 2xl display because it was shattered. I tried to replicate the original waterproofing sealing by using the black liquid adhesive.
That looks just about right. Both "full charge lasts about" and the SOT. At least that's what I get typically with my use.

Hey beautiful people, I need ur help.
Whenever I play games like Wild Rift or use my cam, my phone keeps dimming down and giving me a warning message about the phone overheating. How the fek do I turn that off? I can physically feel my phone being warm, but far from hot! My op8 got far hotter and didnt do that... Is there any rom/kernel combo that lets me control that? Service menu via dialer doesnt let me in... Help much appreciated!
Sadly, the one's that bought this device have fallen into a trap. The 888 is a true waste of precious semiconductor, worse, it's really unoptimized in the OP9P with really bad ventilation/cooling and pathetic battery life.
The real (old) OnePlus ended with the 8T. Sell it off mate, genuine advise.
Snap 888 problem, i have mi 11 and have same problem. In iphone 12 pro max too if screen more than 90% bright
If I'm in the sun, it'll overheat, but other then that I haven't had any issues(knock on wood). I'm running Omega kernel.
Turn all OP display features off, turn on 1080p & no game mode.. .... Sucks but works. Curiously enough, we shouldn't have to be doing this... SD888 is an unfortunate thermal hazard failure
It's shame. I was hoping to give 9 pro another shot (and finally ditch s21 - oneui is rock solid but not my thing) this week. There are some good deals on amazon.
on the other hand some people claim they've never experienced any overheating issues.
Is there really nothing you can do whatsoever, but turn off 120 Hz and qhd?
Is not only this phone. These Snapdragons phones are becoming a heat epidemic. ASUS so far is building vapour-chamber cooling system to their ROG phones. I use a radiator fan on this 9pro. It has wireless charging, 15w. Keeps the phone cool. I play a lot on this phone. Check on the internet for Magsafe charging heat dissipation fan. Benks makes one of the bests. It holds on tight, keeps the phone cool, and wireless charges it.
Oh my... I hope theyre gonna fix it somehow... So youre telling me, even if I root and flash kernel + rom I cannot turn off this stupid ass function?

I would bet if you root & flash a kernel (I've had great success with Omega - YMMV obviously) you won't even need to disable that setting!

Wait a minute, are you saying if you flash this said kernel (Omega-YMMV) Your OnePlus 9pro does not heat up again?
I've had no overheating issues using the Omega kernel ..... your mileage may vary, though (YMMV)

Does it mean even when you record 4k videos at 60fps over 5 minutes you still don't get device over heating warning on your OnePlus 9pro?

Oh I see. Any specific help as to how to get and install this kernel? And what's Omega & YMMV.

Are you already rooted? YMMV is an acronym for Your Mileage May Vary (meaning another kernel may give you better results even though Omega is the best for my use)

Yes I am rooted. And I terribly cannot record 4k videos on my OnePlus 9pro. Over heating message pops up right after 1 minute and phone has to cut out the recording experience. I've reached out to them on their community platform severally but it appears it's a general issue. I am new to this kernel thing. And if you sure testify about omega eliminating this problem, then I definitely gotta give it a shot.
I bought this device to make videos and now it's not serving the purpose.

Download a kernel manager from the Play Store, backup your current kernel, then flash Omega if you meet the requirements and know how to get yourself out of a bootloop or a soft brick https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-oos-omega-kernel-oos11-august-14-2021.4271027/
Sorry for "ressurecting" this thread. Just wanted to ask if anyone could share "his best solution" as in Kernel + rom combo or anything like that... Or stick to stock + arter?
