Tips on getting rid of lags

I have had my European G3 for a couple of days and what's getting me off is the small (and sometimes bigger)
lags here and there. Its probably mostly up to LGs skin a and apps but I rather not starting out using Nova because I think the functions are pretty good.
Right now the darn keyboard is lagging precisely that the ripped variant did on my M8, darn lag....
Anyone got any tips. So far I've tried:
1. Reset. Works for a while ...
2. Root n freeze n grenify. Well, it's lagging
So? Anyone with the same experience and maybe a fix?
Edit. I think I've got some of of the lag away.
So far I've tried the following:
1. Root
2. Greenify
3. Changed read ahead etc with trickster
4. Changed minfree and applied som launcher tweaks
5. Developer settings stuff
6. Other than that adfree, probably at a cost
The launcher and apps is now feeling a bit snappier and the battery should not be worse at least.

In developer's options either scale animations to 0.5 or off completely, see if it works

The phone reduces it's cpu clock speed when battery is low or cpu gets hot.

Trouble is it seems to get hot very easily

Weird. I haven't gotten any lags or stutters with mine.
Only bug happened was when I wake the phone it instantly locks it again. So I just restarted it and everything is fine.

Maybe try swiftkey? It's free and I love it with my Note 2 - especially the ability to control how long a long press is for numbers etc. Let me know how it is if you do, since I plan on using it with the G3.
Also, maybe something like Greenify will help hibernate more background processes and make it heat up less and free up the CPU?

I find lag on first day of use. Didnt install any app yet.
I think it was way over bloated with carrier app. Try disable a few with titanium backup. It seemed to help alot in my case.

Hi. Im using swiftkey now, thé built in is sometimes extremely laggy. Developers option done. Still laggy, I give it another week other wise I return it and buy a G2 instead.

Uninstall the bloat. I have zero lag after uninstalling it. When I first got the phone it did lag because of the unnecessary bloat. I use the google keyboard (android l) and it works fine.

How do I get rid of the bloat?
Mcafee, LG apps etc.

Root. Takes 30 seconds and if you want back to stock just remove whatever you did to system and reset the devise to get rid of the evidence

Edit. I think you just can uninstall most LG stuff.

Was thinking of rooting, just not sure If I can, haven't heard of a tool that roots the UK LG G3 D850.
Is there a tool anyone can recommend?

UK D850? I don't think thats a thing. The UK versions should be the international (EU) versions the LGD855, which towelroot works to root the device.

You can't do anything to get rid of it.
Best case scenario is future updates by LG will improve performance, but no one can know for sure.
600€ phone and it lags. Money means nothing anymore

I guess you haven't used an S5. That thing is ridiculous.

After using my LG G3 a couple of days I'll say it lags about the same as the S5 did before the first two updates. You have to give it to Sammy, they did try to fix it pretty quick. The problem is more that their ui lags in the first place.

Nova feels a great deal smoither, the problem is LGs ui, but switching to a better launcher takes away a lot of LG stuff like the fitnessapp and I using it. Darn LG stop baking in functions in out ui alone [emoji35]

[Q] No multitasking & stopping home screen

Hey guys!
I have some problem and I'm trying to find some answers but so far no success.
If you guys can't help me then nobody else!
So I have 2 problems and in my opinion they are connected.
The first is that my home screen is closing (stopping?) and opening (redrawing?) itself almost all the time - after YouTube, Chrome, even after closing this forum! Obviously not all the times, but really frequently - it's getting REALLY annoying now. I'm trying Nova launcher now but it's still happening - not that often though, but still.
My other problem is that I have literally no multitasking. If I open my chat app (Whatsapp or Line) and go to Chrome to check out a webpage after I go back to the chat application it had to reboot - like I opened it for the first time! Same thing is happening with Chrome when I check out message for example. For reference I tried out my dad's cheap (compared to G3) phone and it had 4 apps running at the same time (Camera, Chrome, Line and even a game) and all of them was working! Not even one had to restart when I was switching between them...
What do you think - is it normal? (Obviously I'm using the 2/16 version - I was fooled by LG when they said G3 is optimized for 2gb...)
What can I do? Is there anything to do? (Except waiting for a miracle OR update. )
Thanks,
Wikh

Sounds like you're running out of RAM and apps are closing (normal for Android if it runs out of memory).
The G3 is a resource hog.

Yeah, I know but I jut can't believe that this is normal. It supposed be one of the best smartphone. :cyclops:
That's why it would be nice to know a few reference - and how could I deal with it - without selling it and buying a 3/32 version... :silly:

2/16 But I've been told that the G3 is made for 2gb of ram and 3 is only a nice extra that wont affect anything. :crying:

try flashing the 10J firmware from the kdz thread in general it reduces system ram usage a bit
also maybe install greenify and use the nonroot modus to kill apps that you don't use I never went above 2.2gb of rams so that is in your ballpark

quick and easy fix.
Don't listen Or believe anyone who tells you that The 16gb/2gb ram version Is any less powerful than it's 3gb ram variant. LG isn't playing around when it tells you that Both versions of the phones are equal.
Coming to the fix : you would've discovered it by now but if not, here goes..
Turn on developer mode by hitting build number under software, them just scroll down in developer options to turn down animation scales to half or completely shut them down.
Doing this will bring true real time multitasking on your 16gb/2gb g3. The additional ram on the variant is nothing but a novelty. 2Gb ram is more than enough for almost anything you'll throw to your g3.

New, fresh device - Extremely laggy homescreen

So I have got here a brand new LG G3 with hardly any apps installed. Even then, the default LG Home UI lags terribly. It keeps on redrawing and refreshing itself every time I exit an app and enter the homescreen. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

Don't panic , try to make a quick factory reset for your device it should solve the problem , if not and you don't want to waste more time by sending it back to the warranty , u can flash a new stock rom using either tot file or kdz , u can find both of the ways in one thread here .
keep us updated

I was about to complain about the same. I think 2gb/ 16 gb version have this launcher redrawing thing. But totally unprofessional approach for ui and launcher ram management. This is happening since d85520a what a shame.

Or, simply install Nova Launcher and have a quicker launcher with way more options as well. Win - win.
And yes, most if not all LG widgets will not work

cough LG cough. it's their launcher, don't stress about lag sir.
i'd also recommend nova launcher. :good:

[Q] Stockifying (Un-ZenUI)?

I got hold of my ZE551ML a few days ago and so far I'm pretty pleased with it, apart from all this ZenUI crap. There are dozens of Asus apps (I count 29, although some you could call settings) and many are poor versions of ones that Google already provide, or do next to nothing, and aren't removable. The notification drawer and lock screen are likewise lacking compared to the default android ones (and uglier).
I tried installing the Google Now Launcher but there's no way of hiding apps and so it's full of the ASUS stuff...so I've defaulted to my previous standard Apex launcher which at least allows me to hide the apps I don't want access to.
Is there any way of getting the stock android lock screens and notification drawer? Or nuking the built-in ASUS stuff?

Install Nova Launcher will take care of homescreen and drawer. Clean and customizable. Notifications is another matter.
Edit: NM. See you've already got Apex.

It's quite annoying to me as well, they take up a huge amount of RAM and I only have 2GB version... I tried installing other launchers but I can't remove the ASUS apps which run in the background.

You can download Titanium backup, and place all Asus apps into a Bloat label. The bloatware will be uninstalled once you follow through the app's directions.

Because getting rid of Bloatware is basically getting rid of system files, you will have to root in order to accomplish this. So yes. However, rooting should not be a difficult thing to do, and it is reverseable.

Alright, I'll try to root the phone then! Thanks for advice! I'm just afraid that if I upgrade via ota by mistake I will get stuck in bootloop after root.

You can disable the google apps, but you can't disable the Asus ones.

Okay the best way is to root the phone and to remove all the unwanted apps with root uninstaller. I've tried it and now I've got less background processes running and more free ram for my own apps!
This is the most lean and efficient method so far, until someone comes up with a custom ROM.

Use auto start manager in your zenfone,disable all apps from auto starting except for those u want or need .

If you're not worried about POTENTIALLY voiding warranty, I would suggest you to unlock your bootloader, install TWRP, and use one of the debloated stock ROMs. There is SuperZen and Prism Barebone which both are stock ROM but bloatwares uninstalled. I'm personally using Prism Barebone. It's basically stock ROM (ZenUI) but Asus apps are uninstalled so less bloated and performance is better.
And if you wanna go further, you can try cm 12.1 but I personally wouldn't recommend because cm is not as stable as stock based rom
Btw: Stock means what your oem (asus) gives you, and not pure android like nexus devices in this context. So your title "stockifying" basically means makes it as close as what Asus give you by default.

LG G7 annoying RAM problem.

It seems to happen that when my G7 Thinq has no more free RAM left, kills running apps like Spotify, Play Music(not any more), Netflix and others. It kills them even I started recently, or I am listening to music, or I am using Maps while driving or streaming Netflix to Chromecast. So it makes no possible to use these apps normally. I am thinking of buying a new phone just because of that. Does anyone know a solution? I tried being updated, hard reset and uninstalling the apps that more RAM consume.

Wich Android version are you using? Had this problems with the stock verizon rom , too much bloat
Crossflashed the canadian android 10 and everything is miles better .
But uf you dont want to crossflash try to disable the carrier apps , if using chrome switch to a less ram intensive browser and avoid duplicated apps

i'm on android 10 and have the same problem it even disables live wallpapers

Thanks for answering. I did all the LG updates, I am stock rom updated. Mine is not verizon, just normal LG bought in Europe. I don't use chrome or duplicated apps. What you mean with "carrier apps"?

Some carriers have preinstalled apps like games and apps , some of them are very heavy on resources .
Are you using pie or android 10 ? May I suggest trying the smart doctor app , I usually advice against the use of the apps , but this looks like some background process that refuses to let go , run the smart doctor app , Is built in to the phone , after that close all the apps from the recent apps screen , reboot the phone and see if that helps .
If it persist , would you mind upload a screenshot of the ram usage ? It may give us a clue about whats happening .

I have tried things like that, but this settings are confusing to me. I am not sure what means to allow or refuse an app to work, etc.
