Serious lag on a game - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm getting serious lag while playing The Simpson's: Tapped out. I've had the phone for two days now. Can this be fixed? Had anyone else had lag? Everything else is ok. I've not tired rooted if that helps.

While I don't play Tapped Out, and thus can't confirm this, I noticed Angry Birds lagged like hell when I enabled ART, but was fine when I went back to Davlik. Just some food for thought.

Sorry I'm a newbie, I've searched for this davlik and don't think I've found the appropriate app. Can you point me in the right direction please?

Dalvik is the Android equivalent of the Java Virtual Machine, it's been Dalvik forever, ART is the Android Runtime, a replacement for Dalvik, but it's only for testing at the moment.

are u using power saver?

Don't have power saving on. I've played it with a wi-fi connection and a 4g connection just in case it was something to do with that but it's still the same. It is ok at times but very annoying when it slows down. My previous phone the Sony Xperia S handled this game ok.

Might want to consider installing a custom kernel (if you have an unlocked bootloader). On stock kernel, speed gets throttled when phone is starting to run warm. You can change that restriction with the ElementalX kernel by Flar2.

Is there no way this can be fixed without rooting? I know the benefits of rooting but would prefer not to do it at this point due to the phone being brand new.

Weird Vibrations

I have a weird problem with my phone. Every so often, my phone wjll vibrate twice, in two really short bursts that arent powerful at all. It is completely random. And whenever im playing music, it will stop the music for 5 seconds. If anyone knows what this is it would be greatly appreciated because this is happening on my new phone, as well as my last two galaxy s 2's (ive gotten 3 replacements)

What apps do you have that give off frequent notification? Do you have facebook, friendcaster, word w/f, etc.? Can you give us a small run down?
you can also download betterbatterystats (free here on XDA) and look at what frequently runs perhaps it appears as a wakelock.
or you can always look at logcat

It's a kernel crash. It's a part of android. It usually happens to let you know that it crashed but android reloads where it last left off. Hence the reason for the gap in music. If you press home immediately after you will catch it trying to finish reloading.

Try running master's kernel cleanser and reinstalling the kernel, that's a place to start

Is the same app running every time it happens? It may be a 3rd party app that isn't completely compatible running on your phone. Try deleting any third party widgeta.. then going into your task manager and clearing your memory. Then add one widget at at time til it starts doing it. If it doesn't do it, then open one of your e eryday apps at a time till you have the vibrating again. You may find some crappy lil app that you installed is causing all the problems.

LG Optimus G lag

I have an LG optimus G running cm10.2.0 stable. Anyone else noticing lag? Just occasional jumps. Especially when I unlock the device sometimes. I push the lock button to turn on the screen and the lights come on but the screen doesn't come on for another couple of seconds. Anyone else noticed this? Yes I have completely wiped the device and started fresh. This didn't solve the problems. Thanks in advance for any reply!

Yes, I've noticed some lag too even when I'm just using my phone, sending text messages etc. Don't know if it's just a bug or something I did wrong though...
Have you tried running lagfix? I'm running stock. When my phone feels laggy, running lagfix seems to work. Maybe cm10.2 does fstrim automatically so lagfix won't do anything.
Hmm I dunno I used lagfix in 10.1.3 but that was very stable, I never found any bugs, so maybe it might work. Depends, like you said it might do fstrim automatically. I'll try it.

I'm on cm11 20131218 nightly it works great for me. Just occasional tiny lags, but it's rarely seen and usually goes back to normal in 3-4 seconds.
I dunno right now gonna try and iron out the bugs in 10.2.0 first I'm thinking of making a backup then updating. I tried the unofficial and it was clunky.

Right now I'm running the latest nightly (21 December) and it's pretty smooth. A little less ram usage(70mb at most) and it's not buggy yet. Smooth for everyone else?

Anyone else have this since update?

Just noticed this. Mobile data still shows while on WiFi or turned off. I've rebooted a couple of times (even turned off mobile data, then restart, still shows) but it won't go away. No a huge deal... Just not right and bothers me.

That's strange, mine would only show Wi-Fi when it was on the 4g would only show while using data.
same here, if I believe the Verizon GS5 forums, same happened to them when Volte was pushed on their phones...

Ever since the update my Spotify and Tunein keep telling me I am offline when I am not on Wifi, yet my browser works perfectly fine when using data...
Do you think having both is causing apps to have this issue?

I don't use either of those so I couldn't tell ya. I did notice that my 4g icon changed to 4g lte while I was on WiFi, makes me think it's still reading towers? Idk...

I have the same issue and a buddy of mine has the same issue also. I went to the TMO store to check their display phone which was already updated to 4.4.4 and that also has the same issue. So it's definitely a software bug since it was not doing this on 4.4.3. Basically when turning on wifi your mobile data should automatically turn off, it's not doing this on 4.4.4 and thus your battery drains faster since both are on, you have to manually turn off data. And when you do turn off data, the icon still remains even though it's not active. Only airplane mode would get rid of the data icon.
Seems like they're issues relating to calling and the camera also, though I haven't been able to test these myself. But overall I'd say 4.4.4 is a buggy release, battery drains a little quicker too.

I have the same problem, fully stock, never rooted. I did wipe the cache partition but that didn't make any difference. I would be curious to see if it persists after a full wipe but I don't really want to do that to mine at the moment.

Yeah don't waste your time with a factory reset, I did this 2 times before I called a buddy of mine and also checked the display phone at the store. Its a software bug and everything I tried has had no effect, problem still present. Hopefully HTC releases a patch soon to fix this because data is constantly on, it does not sleep. The battery definitely drains a little quicker.
Weird, I don't seem to have this issue. Running latest OTA, stock with root.

I too have been having a lot of trouble with this update. Four or five of my programs that would work over 4G now only work when I'm connected to WiFi. I'm still able to watch Youtube and surf the web, but it's extremely aggravating not being able to play my games while I'm on the train to work. I wonder if it has to do with the radio update they pushed with the 4.4.4 release.

Is anyone's phone slowing down?

My Pixel XL is rooted with Elemental kernel, but even when I was stock, my phone would slow down after a day or 2 of use. I would especially notice this slow down in the XDA mobile app. The app becomes very choppy. I can restart the phone and it's very fast again. Is anyone else noticing this?
Edit...The main problem I had with slowness was with the XDA app as that is the app I use the majority of the time. It was recommended to me to use the XDA Labs app and now I'm happy. There is no slow down at all with XDA Labs.

Nope. Mine has remained as fast as when I first started it. I'm completely stock and always have been.
Im stock And It Feels Just Luke It Did When It Came Out Of The Box. Have You Installed Anything That Could Be Slowing Things Down?
Completely stock, as fast as the first day I had it.

I don't know. I don't use any social media, unless XDA is considered social media. The only thing I notice slowing down is the XDA app. I can press the hamburger menu to refresh the thread and it might take 3-4 seconds to show the menu. Scrolling also becomes choppy. If I reboot the phone the app is smooth again, for a while. Maybe its the app and not the phone.

I think the slow down was just the legacy XDA app. I'm using the XDA labs now and I see no choppiness.
