[Q] Anyone else notice some lag after the first few days? need help if you have!

So i've only had the phone for a few days and started noticing lag mainly in the settings yesterday.
It was buttery smooth the first few days until yesterday. I'll try to create a clear description of what is happening.
Everything in terms of hitting applications, sliding/switching pages, and browsers seems smooth but I'm getting doubts since settings have started lagging. So as of now, the settings menu is where I really notice the problem. What happens is I would press any of the choices such as display, sound, storage, etc and it would light up blue as a sign that I pressed it. Basically, the blue lighting stutters/lags as it turns into a deeper color and fades away proving that there is some lag. That itself is very irritating on such a powerful phone. The page also lags a bit as it's opening so it's obvious that it does lag. I don't understand why something as simple as settings might be causing this?
have any of you guys noticed this? I tried clearing ram, restarting phone, messing with dev options by changing animation and something else to .5x while enabling "force GPU rendering." I'm running stock touchwiz on baseband T889UVALJ1 if that helps. Keep in mind i'm not really tech savvy so try to suggest things in an easy to understand way please.
Any help is greatly appreciated and I hope you guys can help me fix my problem!

Been using it for the past 1 month plus and I do not have any lagging issues. I am on stock rom as well.

No lag either, been using the Note 2 for 2 months now. Check your apps with BetterBatteryStatts (too many backgroundservices runing).

No lag either. Did u install some crappy apps that run backstage

Thanks for the replies so far and before I spend some money on apps or what not, is there any way I can post a 5 second animation of what is happening? Kind of like a 5 second gif of my screen? A mix of a screenshot and video so like a screen vid? Are there are any apps that can do that(preferably free). I'll try to find an app that can do that in the meantime and will edit if I find something useful.
Edit: No idea what this is or how it ended up on my phone but could this be the culprit? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tgrape.android.radar
People say it's bloatware and s-suggest from samsung but i'm not sure why it would be shown as an app on the play store website

I have noticed the phone can lag a bit if you have a heavy live wallpaper running.
Just sharing my thoughts on this

did you modify anything? no lags on my N2.

normally i'd say if you leave your phone on for a few days in a row, clear the memory every once in a while (press and hold home, go task manager, ram tab, clear memory) or reboot it, just so you dont have anything residual in your ram.
when android sees that you have 2gb of ram, it doesnt auto kill as many apps as it would if you were to have only 1gb of ram (my note 1 autokilled sooooooo frequently that it was annoying), so your ram ends up getting filled with some apps that you only used once in a while.

I did have a live news wallpaper before but I disabled it and switched to one of the stock wallpapers and the problem persists..

No I didn't modify anything, were you referring to anything specific or some kind of setting?

I wrote that I tried clearing ram and restarting phone but it didn't help. Thanks for trying though

Yeah, I get a bit of lag here and there, specially if I haven't cleared running/background apps in a while.
I just do it from the task manager, and also check out what apps are using the most battery, and possibly therefore are some of the likely culprits.
I actually use this app called Carat, which is an "Energy bug detector app" (whatever that means), but it helps identify apps that are draining the battery, and incidentally, partially contributing to the lag.
Also obvious thing like live wallpapers or touchwiz in general (including all the 'special' Samsung features like smart rotate, smart stay, smart motion) probably add to it to. Nova launcher and a static wallpaper might help.

I'll try to post a video sometime soon showing the lag. It's not serious lag, but it does stutter and lag a decent amount compared to my first few days which is what sucks.

Make sure that power saving is turned totally off in settings to avoid UI lag.

Yeah that was one of the first things I tried, didn't help.

This happen to me..If surf net lag this could help..check your network setting.
if your SIM card is 3G,set it to "GSM/WCDMA AUTO MODE" instead of LTE..
Hope it help

Well I have a T-mobile Galaxy note II. It should be the 4g LTE variant but lte is not available yet. I think it is the n7105
Under the settings, I only have gsm/wcdma, gsm only, and wcdma only.
I'm not sure what I have to do

You can try enabling Force GPU rendering in developers options. That usually helps with that, or at least it seemed to in my case. Report back if it actually helped

quick update:
I found a vid and my lag basically looks like this http://youtu.be/0qyijcTeHcU?t=2m27s
Look at when he clicks on display, there is clearly some lag even if it is half a second - 1 second. I'm almost certain that my lag is even worse than that, but not by too much. It's just a pain in the ass after the first few days. Would flashing a custom rom like jedi X 7.2 help out with this since it's running a bravia engine?

Nobody's app does.

Yea, i know that but my question is how can we fix that thing.
Can we edit/modify stock mms app?
Like pull secMms.apk from system , modify and push into system again?
I know, there is some experienced people can do that in here.
Who can help with that?

No lag here..totally smooth for me.
That's scrolling lots of messages from different contacts and a conversation with 200 messages in it.

how is this possible
my list scrolling like 2 fps,
it's killing me.. i guess i have to install some mms-sms apk like go sms, etc. but it has to be a way to fix that thing..
plase help! :banghead:

I've noticed that using battery saving mode causes a bit lag, but that's expected, cause when you enter battery saving mode it says it will limit proc functions

Yes it does limit the CPU to 800MHz but still not completely smooth with power saving off.

Yep...But it' less laggy

Go through and delete anything you don't need. I know it seems like a bit of a noobish thing to say but it's all I could think of

firstly
what rom are you using?
this will help with providing suggestions so always let people know what rom you are running
secondly
how much space have you got on the phone's internal memory?
how many applications do you have running at any given time?

The lag issue is because of the update which has bugs, even disabling or removing bloatwares is not making it lag free. Nothing cant be done in this case i think, or you have to revert to older version of the ROM. The problem may be because of the new drivers,
And about Gallery, is it just simply showing or is it really consuming that much space in SD card

I once read @iceyhotguy's post about this gallery bug... basically it is solely Samsung's fault and we can do nothing to fix it. Try using another gallery app (QuickPic works). And clear the gallery's data but never open it again or simply disable/uninstall it... it won't take up space anymore..

Its one of the bugs of 4.2.2 I guess you can't do anything else but wipe data and cache all the time!
What you can do is that download any 4.4.2 ROM or download any other suitable gallery from the playstore

I can confirm the gallery is much better in the latest na5 update for region SER. Not perfect, but easily as good as it was on 4.1.

Device reports wrong memory sizes

Hi guys.
A friend of mine gave me to take a look at her Grand Duos yesterday (now that sounds weird ). She said that although she had very little applications installed the handset would not allow her to install anything anymore even it was a mere application of some kilobytes.
I went to application management and storage and noticed something very weird. Although it is an 8GB handset (no external SD card attatched) and although the installed applications are indeed very few (Viber , Facebook, Instagram and another 2-3 apps) the system reports outrageous numbers in her data storage like 32GB or more which is simply impossible.
She is non rooted on stock version and the issue began since she tried to upgrade OTA to the latest version (I assume this must be 4.2.2). I own an XPERIA so I am copmletely unfamiliar with the Samsung forums and the general samsung tips-tricks and issues. Is it fixable. Is there a way to eliminate that issue? What are my options?
Sorry if I am asking something that has been answered before but due to lack of time it is impossible for me to look over tens/hundreds of forum pages to find something similar. I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks in advance.

Once I also got the same problem...
Go to app manager.... And then go to ALL applications Tab.... Press the menu key... You will see a Popup menu in which you will see.... SORT BY SIZE... select that... You will see at first it would be gallery which will be of 15gb or else.... Clear data of gallery.... And your problem would be fixed...

Great I'll try that. I assume this will also resolve the issue during which the phone won't allow her to install more applications, right?
Supposedly the reason why she cannot install even the smallest app right now is that the system detects an excess of 32GB of stored content. So once this is "cured" then everything will be ok.

Its because of gallery app its a bug actually....Follow what siddhu2199 said... If that doesnt work just got to setting - application manger - search gallery app and disable it...clear the data too and see if it works...u can enable it if u have any probs... I personally tried it and it had worked for me... If u want to view pics u can download QUICKPIC app which is very light and Awesome but after disabeling default gallery app u will not be able to view u r photos straight away from camera...

HTC 10 Lag

Hi
I face a heavy lag while google market update my apps, dose any one have the same issue ??
is there any solution for it??
If I unlock my phone and instal custom ROM the lag will be disappear?
Thanks.

It's normal I think. My phone lags also when installing a downloaded app especially heavier apps. Of course this lag is minor and doesn't keep me from doing what I have in hand.

I have no lag at all on Leedroid. You didn't give any details about what your running, so I would say it is some app or your setup causing it.

Not normal to have lag on this phone. I get lag on my 5yo tablet. Restart phone (sorry have to suggest that lately). Maybe try an app like ccleaner to clean up. Clear cache from playstore app. Lastly do factory reset and see if that fixes it. If factory reset fixes it, try to notice when issue begins again.

Do you have adoptable storage enabled?
I have a stock HTC 10 and don't experience this. If you have adoptable storage and a slow microSD card it's probably the culprit.
