[Q] Is there lag like when the S4 came out? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

From watching the review videos, the Note 3 seems pretty fluid, much more snappier than the S4. Just wondering if I can get anyone's perspective on it? How snappy is the UI? Does the browser have any lag? Overall performance? Thanks

I have no lag at all. When I took the battery out or restart it takes a min with the optimizing apps at the beginning bc its like 270 apps installed but after that I have no complaints. Not sure if it does the optimizing thing bc im stock rooted or if thats normal.

I second this. I can't see any lag on anything. And I mean anything. Launcher, launching and using apps, scrolling, etc. Super buttery smooth all around.

Third this... Zero lag at all!

I have zero lag. I'm running a stock rooted Rom on T-Mobile with Apex Launcher. The 2.3 GIG processor and the 3 GIG of Ram handle this with lots of room to spare!!!

Thanks to all ya'll, thats very good to hear. I cannot stand lag.

It has more to do with having 4.3 unlike the s4 thst had 4.2

Mad lag on my s4 and 0 lag on my note3

No lag for the most part, but when turning off the screen, there is a delay from when the button is pressed to when it decides to actually do something.

No lag for me. This phone is fast and smooth.

Nope, works fine for me.
Nope. Not very. Just a bit laggy.
I see that UI on 4.2 is not so fast as it was on 4.1.2, but some apps (e.g. chrome) works a bit faster.
So, yep - I'm happy with the update.

People who aren't having speed issues: Can you test a couple of scenarios I've noticed in particular?
1) In the new gmail: tap on the account switching area at the top. This loads far slower for me with the new app
2) Put your phone to sleep or wake it up. Sleep/wake seems quite a bit less responsive in 4.2 on both of the stock phones I've tested.

Disable all animations in developers options and screen off animation will be less noticeable.

i made i wipe cache and now is working fine. thanks a lot
No. 4.2 is just as fast as 4.1.2 on my GNex... which was fast whether I use the stock UI or Apex Launcher. Granted there is an initial sluggishness during the initial boot from services loading in the background... but after that my GNex is smooth and fast.
Those of you experiencing slow speeds: Try flashing the factory image from Google. I had one app that didn't work properly and a flash to factory stock and re-root fixed the problem. It's possible you have an app running in the background eating up resources too.
I understand these threads and posts must be annoying to those who aren't having issues, but to people like me, who OTAed a bone stock phone and are left with a less-than-satisfactory experience, it is equally frustrating. Especially considering how many improvements were made with 4.1-4.1.2, which have now been rendered moot.
I guess my only recourse is to wipe and flash stock, but because I'm not rooted and don't have any backups, it'll be fun to rebuild my phone.

Turn off that live wallpaper! JK hopefully that isnt the case...
Each Android iteration on the GN has gotten smoother for me. 4.2 is pretty amazing out of the box, much like 4.1 was when compared to 4.0.3/.4. The GN is definitely not lacking when it comes to having what it takes for 4.2.
4.2 is really, really fast. When they fix camera rotation and recent apps, it will be perfect. It killed my urge for N4. Now I can easily wait for one more year... Good job Google.

Toggles lag

Almost every time I open the status bar the toggels move with a horrible lag. Why does this happen in this powerful phone? How can i fix it?

Can't fix it. Whenever there is something going on in background, or some apps data are being processed you WILL see a lag. Make sure no app is running active, then try after sometimes, you will see smooth transitions.
Never had any lag there ever.
Are you using power saving mode? That causes my girlfriends s3 to lag like crazy

Touchwiz, nova, adw,..launchers have this annoying stutter

As this may pertain to samsungs internel hardware, i just wanna confirm if anyone on these launchers on this phone has experinces this little jitter lag when you scroll thru homescreens..seems as if when you swipe the screen stutters and doesnt move to the next one..also when u scroll fast thru homescreens it does this..if there is a fix please direct me to it..its so annoying when i cant find anyone talking about this.. Thanks
I used my friends phone on Apex and Nova and it didnt stutter at all.... and besides, its a dual core processor Snapdragon™ just powering a launcher, i dont think lags would occur. Even if they would, i find it minimal.
EDIT: my friend's phne is the intl version with the Exynos 4412 Quad so i dont know if it applies to ya. You could try flashing MPEngine™ 12SE because the script minimized lags on my phone clocked at 184-921MhZ

A stutter here and there isn't abnormal. If you are getting stuttering on almost every transition, that definitely isn't normal.
Assuming you are running stock, you might want to consider a custom ROM which tend to be smoother. You could also try just rooting and playing with your CPU clock settings.

Thanks guys..i been runnin custom roms and launchers since day one.dnt knw what could cause it..maybe ppl dont notice it..it isnt lag really it seems like sometimes it seems like it doesnt make a complete transition idk its weird..gs2 after ics update had the same issue
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Try changing the animation and transition speed. Lower the number, faster it is. Also, if that doesn't work you can try disabling hw overlays. All those are under Developer Options. Here are my settings on Paranoid Android, but i use the same settings for any ROM i run (i did not disable hw overlay, but there's the option)
I think it may be with the hardware..its more of lil stutters in transition pages than lag..havent seen samsung addresss it thou :/

I'm on Apex, no issues at all. Make sure if on Apex the setting "Use Alpha Effect" is disabled in the Home screen Settings.

I've been on TSF Launcher for 5 months now. No lag whatsoever.
Expensive, but we'll worth the money IMHO.

Animation and trasnition speed are the first thing I did. haven't noticed much lag on Apex.

Looking to kill the lag.

Hey everyone, can I get tips for decemating the lag on this phone. Its really making me consider the HTC One. At this point, the s4 is slower than my nexus 4. Thank you.

Well flash a custom rom, ooen dev settings and decrease the time for transitions, or maybe try seeder (I havent tried)

What have you done/installed since you got your phone? My phone actually hasn't experienced any noticeable lag at all, not even once since opening the box. And I had three of them - all had zero lag. Of course, I still went and updated it and disabled some stock apps. It's getting better and better. The only issue is the speed at which this phone gets warm performing basic tasks like camera, email, internet. Even sometimes in my pocket with Sync turned off and Sound muted, the phone would get warm by itself. That's funny.

I installed action launcher, removed animations and thats about it. Right now I'm downloading the wicked rom to install, but I don't want to lose all of the samsung features such as, "smart scroll, s beam, multi-window, etc). Would you happen to know if the wicked v2 rom removes any of those?
im tired of the lag too.im on stock rooted with all the gimmics disable , my gf gs3 is alot faster. gallery takes about 2 sec just to open.
hopefully is fixed. had the htc one but battery life on it doesnt compare to gs4 .
If you don't want to be rooted to "kill the lag" go to recovery mode and factory reset and reboot. Do not touch or do anything with the phone for 5 minutes before setting up.
Im stock rooted, running Faux's kernel. I ALWAYS disable animations in Developer options....that alone eliminates much of the lag in any phone. Also, you can disable the S Voice connection to the home button.
Lastly if you want an incredibly ultra fast experience in scrolling and app drawer.... Install Nova...and make sure to make scroll speed "faster than light". You will then see how fast this phone can be when not slowed down by animations. The nice thing about Touchwiz, is that the settings and notification tray look fairly stock JB....so it matches great with Nova.
This S4 is FLYING....so friggin fast, zero lag, great battery life!
Try it out!
Cheers.

Low benchmarks.. Choppy performance..

On AOSP 4.4 ROMs I get way worse benchmarks than I do on TW 4.4 ROMs. But no matter what I do, I always have choppy performance and insane lag on any ROM I try for this phone. I know it's relatively old but shouldn't it be a little more efficient than this? If anyone can think of anything I can do to make the performance better, I'm open for suggestions.

that's crazy, I've had this phone since it came out, and never had any lag on any rom. Do you have GPS running all the time or many apps running in the background?

I turn GPS off whenever I don't need it and I stop all running processes at least twice per hour. I'm on my second S3 and I still get lags and stutters no matter what I'm doing, and the benchmarks on AOSP ROMs are so small and I know this phone can do better than that cause the TW benchmarks are so much higher.
