So I recently purchased a bargain priced g pad here in the UK. I am currently an Ipad air owner(boooo) but wanted to get an Android tablet and this seemed like my best option. But I have to say that I am really disappointed as it it laggy as hell and the battery life is pretty poor.
Is this normal or am I the proud owner of a dud? The lag occurs in stock launcher and apex. It also happens in browsers, namely chrome, Uc and dolphin. It even lags when browsing threads on tapatalk.
I have factory reset it and no joy. I am outside the 7 day return period and so kind of need to fix the issue if poss.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be given

I own LG GPad 8.3 as well, and I don't see any lags, it is working as normal. even games are running smoothly. I don't know why is it lagging on your tablet.

I find my g pad smooth as well and no issues. Very happy with speed. Now my galaxy s3 phone, that is laggy and looking forward to next upgrade
Im pretty surprised with how much people are getting lags.. even with stck unrooted out of the box i dont get these lags.. although i knew it can perform better.. for the people with lags try rooting and installing the malladus custom rom.. suped up stock rom with most of the lg software in tact..... as stated in that forum the way the stock rom should run.......... much smoother when running anything and everything...... try it out..
Ran pretty smooth stock

Thanks for the replies, I may have to go down the root path then as a test, other than the lag and slightly poor battery life it is a good tablet for sure

I've also observed some stuttering while using my V500 (especially scrolling webpages).
The best way to test this is to choose image from gallery, zoom in and drag it around furiously
Sometimes its smooth and works as supposed to, but most of the times after a second or two it stops responding to finger movements.
No idea what to do. I like LG stock rom, but this is a deal-breaker for me
I have experienced really bad lag playing jetpack joyride. Anyone else experience this? Running stock.

I rooted mine and installed cyanogenmod as soon as I got it home. The stock ROM isn't great, getting almost vanilla Android on it makes for a much nicer and snappier tablet

add the task manager widget, how much Free RAM is there when it lags?
I'm usually at 600-730 free RAM and the only time it lags is when closing out a game and quickly launching email or Chrome app from home screen.

Is there any other app that lets one fix the black levels? The G Pad without any fixing of the black levels isn't that great for watching shows, movies or playing games where details often can be found in the darker areas. And trading better black levels for more lag (or having to use the Performance governor isn't great). I even noticed watching shows with Screen Adjuster made the FPS a bit jittery (like it's missing frames here and there).

That is not a lag, that is either defective digitiser or drivers within software. Ive got exactly the same issue on mine, suddenly it just stops responding when dragging my finger across the screen like it was not touched.

New one is definitely working better, however it still feels like it misses touches every once in a while. That could be a software issue though, it was with my Nexus 7 2013.

Okay so I'm thinking about getting it switching from my galaxy s2. Well I went to the att store today. Why did it lagg so bad. I even restarted it and still lag. Expseically in the browser! Went to xda full website and holly crap zooming in and out was a pain! Then on my galaxy s2 it was smooth with no lag at all. Is it really that slow
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
keep your s2. simple & done.
It is not as laggy as in the store but its not going to be as buttery smooth as your galaxy S2.
I'm finding the same... The only chance you got is custom roms and kernels. That if we can get CWM going.. honestly I'm thinking of returning this for the nexus...
"Lag" is a really subjective term. Are we talking because it wasn't instantaneous therefore it lagged, or are we talking about it took a second? 3 seconds?
The GS2 has an 800x480 screen resolution vs. the Nitro's 1280x720 so it's doing that much more work to draw the screen. Have you been to the XDA site on your S2 before, if so that means your browser probably cached the site, whereas the Nitro has the initial load lag...Assuming you were using the exact same stock browsers as well?
Don't get me wrong, there's general agreement that the Nitro has lag, but there's also a general agreement that it has a LOT to do with the AT&T bloat and with some tweaking it can be mostly remedied.
As Namuna said, there are a lot of factors involved. I, for one, have no idea how the original nitro in the AT&T store runs. The second I got it, I rooted it and did a factory reset, and I have zero complaints about lag. I also go to the full xda site on my phone (I loathe all mobile versions of websites), and I have no complaints with lag. Scrolling around up and down, zooming in and out may not always be buttery smooth (mostly it is, but sometimes, zooming in and out can drop the frame rate to about 15/s while zooming), but I never experience a delay in scrolling/zooming, so I can't really call it lag. Maybe stutter.

Could very well be a placebo. Could be some remnants of factory "crud" that gets cleared out only after a factory reset. I don't think you'll get any argument from anyone that it doesn't make any sense why this helps, but there's plenty enough folks that have done it (myself included) and will say it indeed makes a difference.

If you don't mind some slight stutter here and there and don't need to run the latest and greatest looking games, definitely go with the Nitro.
The screen is GORGEOUS
Writing / reading email is a joy on this device.
Just to note, I'm pretty sure all of us here have custom launchers now. The default launcher is really slow, but Go launcher / Launcher Pro / ADW Launcher are pretty snappy.
I'm no Android expert, but with the Adreno 220 the Nitro should be able to run the latest and greatest looking games, right? Anyway, if you browse the web a lot and e-mail then pick this phone.
Yea I don't realty game. Just apps email and lots of web. Don't hate me for what I'm gonna ask. What about tethering? Can I tether on the stock rom while rooted? Cause this is a must. I have the unlimited plan. But 2 ddays out of the week I'm at a friends that has Hughesnet which is horrible to use. I only use about 100 MB during those 2 ddays so i don't abuse it

The Adreno 220 is great, and so is the 1.5Ghz S3, but games aren't optimized for this resolution, or the current software that's running on the phone. I'm sure we will see a performance increase once we get ICS.

Tethering is possible without even rooting, but you'll have to install a 3rd party app on your phone and a program on your computer for what I do. I use PDAnet.
So software lag is not to bad compaired to the one in the store. Done root and factory reset and froze loads of apps. But typing and texting isbkinda horrid. I can be typing and sometimes it will stop and freeze while I'm typing then like a sec or 2 it will then type it. I have this issue when just testing :/ but I do love thebscreen

Something to keep in mind is that HTC Vivid uses the same CPU (the Vivid is clocked down to 1.2 GHz)/GPU combo as the Nitro, and the Samsung Skyrocket also. Other than the Nitro having a higher resolution screen to deal with, I'd imagine any drastic performance differences between the 3 phones would be down to software.
Hey guys,
I know this may sound like a broken record, but after some pretty extensive use, the lag still exists, and is fairly consistent. I am not Sure if it is just that I am spoiled by my note 2 and its ultra smoothness, but I am testing the crap out of this tablet and in and out of programs back to the home screen and swiping left to right, I am having very consistent lag or stutter. What is everyone elses tablet working like? I only am using 3 screens with minimal widgets and am always monitoring my background running apps and processes. Hands down best tablet I have used just wish it was Smoother

I don't get any of that lag. Did you take the OTA updates? they may help.
its not that bad, i bearly even notice the lag.
After installing both OTA updates, doing a factory reset, and rooting, I get no lag whatsoever, except when I wake the device. For some reason, if I haven't used it in a while, when I press the home button, the power button, or pull out the pen, it takes about 3 seconds to wake.
Ridiculous.

Stock. I'm not sure I want to overclock. I don't want to do anything that will drain the battery faster. Are you thinking of OC'ing? And if so, to what?
My region had none of these new updates and I don't have any lag, unless in the crappy Android internet browsers. I use my iPad for that. Also switched to Apex launcher (which has a decent Free version).

I had lag when search index was scanning my SD card for few days. One bad pdf or document may force to do it.
Wow..... just wow lol.
I agree with the OP. This was not supposed to lag, and I have it too. Love the tab, but I didn't have to have it. Now that I do, I won't get rid of because I like it. But it was supposed to be lag free, per say. Rooted and both ota's, hasn't gotten better or worse out of the box. Just has that typical Sammy lag. Slightly disappointed with that.
I've noticed terrible lag in theoldreaer.com. it is worst on chrome but better if I hold it portrait. the marking item read as i scroll kills the tablet. smooth as butter on my exynos 4 gn8. overall this tablet is the best android tablet I've owned but it does have its issues.
also, scrolling long websites take far too long for a device with 3 gigs of RAM to redraw. It should be able to keep the entire page in memory .
Lag...
I don't get an unreasonable amount of lag EXCEPT when opening the floating keyboard in a Web browser. I really like that keyboard for swipe typing with the Spen. Unforgivable? Yes. Definitely.
The thing that irks me more than anything is the ungodly huge notification drawer lagging when you swipe down. Maybe if they designed it like stock Android with two smaller ones it might work better. That drop down should be and is butter on a lot of other devices. I don't get it.
I'm not getting rid of the tablet but I will complain until they fix it in 4 months or however long it takes. Or until somebody makes a sweet TouchWiz ROM.

You can always install cm12 which works same as Nexus 5, only more customizations.

I'm currently on Paranoid 5.1 their latest release. Stocks rom are too laggy. And even I'm on a rom that is developed by one of the main stream developers it still lag sometimes and heat up.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
NO NO NO! DO NOT SWITCH!
I currently have a Nexus 5, it has so many build quality issues, and it also lags a lot. And not to speak about battery life...
My brother's G3 is better in any aspect: performance, battery life, features, ergonomics, camera, speakers, display.. Only updates are better on the Nexus, and OEMs are getting better at this too)
actually, I used a Nexus 5 since their release, until February when I switched to the G3. so far here is what I can say about either phone:
nexus 5:
+size. easier to hold than the G3
+smoothness/responsiveness. lag free 60fps
+screen. even though some N5 screens suffer from either yellow or red tint, there's something about the N5 screen that makes it look exceptionally sharp even next to the G3's qHD screen.
-speaker
+build material
+build aesthetics
+active development
+4-5hrs SOT usually
-no sd
G3:
+camera. G3 is the clear winner either on stock or AOSP.
+screen. sharper than the N5 and larger, but somehow the N5's still puts up a good fight against the G3's.
+speaker. pretty good speaker compared to the N5, especially with viper4android.
+ambidextrous buttons. I hated the N5's right handed button placement.
-lag/thermal issue. there is only slight lag on this phone if you set it up right (Cloudy G3 5.0 is nearly lag free with the new thermal mod, so is Mokee AOSP, ParanoidAndroid 5.0 and Resurrection Remix 5.0 with stock kernel and thermal mod)
+slightly waterproof. I have this phone in my hand in the hot steamy shower daily. many other people have reported getting moisture in their G3 with no consequences.
+resembles a big ass nexus 5, especially in darker settings. this is obviously an opinion.
+~4hrs SOT usually
honestly for the first month I considered selling the G3 and getting an HTC one M8 but I stuck it out and was fortunate enough to find a good setup for stock and a good setup for AOSP where the phone doesn't lag or overheat and it feels nearly identical to the N5.
Coming from the G2 I thought this phone would be much quicker but it has been struggling. I haven't even installed all of my apps yet, and it's already really slow. Multitasking on this phone is not that much faster than the G2 for me. Maybe it is the stock launcher?
Also the Smart Lock is really iffy. Sometimes it doesn't work when I am at home, I think it's because it takes a couple of seconds for it to realize I am at home. Other times when I am out to it doesn't lock it when it should be.
Going to wait until I can root it and hopefully with some changes it gets better. At this point I am really disappointed by the performance. Just as I was typing this and listening to Spotify the phone is lagging while I am trying to turn up the volume.
I find the G2 is still a power house. Perfomance is not that different. I was a bit disappointed in the difference. Aside from the bigger screen, camera, and form factor, it doesnt really seem that different.
Supoosedly there are some background services hogging resources. LG came out and said it was the LG keyboard. Others reported disabling the MultiWindow feature also helps.
It isnt a huge upgrade but I believe it is just initial quirks that need ironing out.
I noticed that my g4 was running slow when I had an SD card installed. It runs smoother without one.
Coming from the Note family, I can say this phone is on par with the Note 4/Edge in terms of performance for day to day activities, with significantly better battery life. My G4 is fast, performs really well with minimal lag. The only lag I noticed is when using the LG keyboard. I installed SwiftKey and my phone now is (almost) lag free. You might need to reset your phone and see if that helps, as I see a lot of members here got their G4 issues resolved after a good fresh restore.
There are 20 other threads with same topic.
Sent from my SM-G920T
I always factory refresh from the store because they typically skip the initial setup steps. My G4 was acting crazy before that. My friend got a G4 new deliver and set it up herself and has been acting fine. Maybe one of the background apps is constantly looking for a skipped response and eating resources.
Thanks for the replies. As for this being posted before I didn't see it and I wanted to explain my experience / specifics.
I might try the factory reset and see if that helps. As for the sd card it would be hard to remove because it's the main reason I upgraded the phone. Also going to turn off multi window, I don't use it anyway.
Do you use Lastpass?
First thing I noticed after I had my first S6 was how slow the G4 was compared to it. Back on my S6 and couldn't be happier.

Odd, I felt my G4 was getting pretty laggy using Google Now Launcher and switched back to the LG Launcher, which has been perfectly smooth and lag free for me so far.
I have an S6 as well that I had for a month before the G4 and it is definitely faster and smoother (except in Chrome), but I love the larger screen and awesome manual camera controls on the G4. Tough decision for sure. If the G4 was as fast and smooth as the S6, it would be no contest for me, G4 all the way. Still leaning towards the G4 though. Want to wait for the next update on each before making my final decision about which to sell.

Yea I don't know has worked for me, the battery life is for sure longer, but it's all negligible, it may be the phone just settling in, I am hoping that LG will come out with a minor update to address some of the lag and other issues, the s6 is faster though, it also has a faster processor and better GPU. but I feel the camera, screen size, design, Expandable memory and a few other things make it worth it, free extra battery and SD doesn't hurt either.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. To the person who asked about lastpass, I don't use it on my phone, love using it on the PC.
I disabled multi window and it has made it a tiny bit faster. Still lagging way more than a 2015 flagship should during normal operation.
I want to install nova launcher but I spent a lot of time setting up folders in the stock app drawer, not fun to set it up all over again.
The S6 is definitely faster than our phones, but as mentioned there are other attributes of the G4 that mean more to some of us. Still, I think this phone should be faster than what I am experiencing. Instead of the free battery promotion I wish they had spent the money on the processor or further optimization.
Turn on force gpu rendering and use google keyboard. Will make your life easier.

Nova can instantly import the folders, CMIIW. shouldn't be a problem
I tried importing but I don't think nova allows folders in the app drawer, didn't work for me. Also by using nova I lose the stock calendar widget that shows the month view with events on it, it has been like this forever, maybe there is workaround?
Definitely laggy. Coming from a faster Note 4. It blows my mind and aggravates me so much when a brand new phone can lag like this. Maybe it's the Slacker app... But I notice when running this and switching between hangouts.. It'll straight up freeze for 3-5 second sometimes. Note 4 never did this. Hoping a patch fixes this beta.
Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same issue as I am. I've been playing a lot of pokémon go lately and tho sometimes the game runs really smooth, most of the time it looks like the phone is struggling with it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? It's really annoying specially when scrolling through the pokémon and when trying to throw balls. This should not happen with this device, the game is not that heavy!

It's a server problem, if you open the game or play it in the middle of the night it works flawlessly.

I have been using CM13 for nearly the entire time I've had my G4, and I thought I'd try the latest Stock ROM to see if the battery life was better (game optimizer, etc.) and I experienced the exact same thing. Lagging down to 2-3fps when trying to catch a pokemon sometimes, other times absolutely fine.
I hadn't experienced any of this lag on CM13 and I have played everyday since release. Server lag in this game is entirely different, click on pokemon and they don't work, gyms don't work, 1hp gym bug etc. and I've seen it all, this is something fundementally wrong with the way the stock firmware plays the game. I went back to CM13 immediately and haven't seen it in the past 4 days of playing, so if you do have a model you can unlock the bootloader of I would strongly suggest giving CM13 a go.

The problem is I'm not sure I'm ever going to get bootloop and the phone is new, I would lose my warranty. I don't really think it is an option. Plus I really didn't want to lose the stock camera. Let's see if someone comes up with a better solution

I've got a friend who is using stock firmware experiencing the same thing, if we manage to find a fix I'll be sure to let you know!

How's the battery on CM13?
I can play PokemonGO for 2-2:30 hours non stop until the battery dies.
Otherwise I get around 4 hours SoT.

About the same to be honest. I saw no real difference other than the lag on stock firmware. The only thing that makes it a little better for it IMO is that CM13 has caffeine which is a toggle to stop your screen lock, so you don't have to set awkwardly long timeouts and such.
Yeah Pokemon go stutters a lot too on my LG G4 when there are a lot of poke stops around including lures.
i don't think it's the processing limitation. if CM13 can run smoothly, my only guess is the horrible RAM management on stock ROM. but that's my guess. mine shows over 1 GB of RAM usage on my phone.
20i software version was horrible but T-mobile (USA) recently updated to 20o and worked much better. not as smooth as CM13 but better. doesn't really get hot either. I'm not on CM because for some reasons youtube won't play on HD. SD plays fine but streaming HD or 60fps video stops but audio continues. otherwise I'd go with CM13 to enjoy game little better.
I just flashed this ROM and the game seems so much better. I still have to do more testing but it seems to run smoothly.

Yeah it's lagging again for me sometimes. Seems to have been something temporary. I tried the buttons solution from above and I'll see how it goes

Well at least their is two of us with the exact same problem, i have already tried the button thing, still no luck!
I have come to a conclusion that its nothing to do with the firmware, it could be 6.0 in general? 5.1 worked fine...
It could be something to do with RAM management being horrible on MM idk?
Ill keep you updated, ill keep looking until i find a fix!
Have you tested any other games? i tried a game called Pixel Gun 3D, which is CPU intensive and it worked fine, it has to be Pokemon GO....:good:

I have another app that also lags a lot on the phone, the Black Player. When swiping songs it lags like hell, while on my S4 Mini with CM13 it works flawlessly. I'm really sad about this... This phone was much more expensive and it performs worse than the S4 Mini lol

I guess we should wait for the next Pokemon GO update, hopefully that will fix the problems!
