I've just purchased this phone and overall I like it. One thing I think is holding this beast back is the resolution. The GPU seems to seriously struggle - it's even noticeable when switching apps, navigating the settings, etc. It just seems like it doesn't have quite enough grunt.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar thing?
I was using an Xperia Z2 earlier today and everything seemed far more fluid and smooth. I'm honestly considering selling my 2 day old G3 and switching to a Z2.

Mine is very fluid with zero lag. Then again I'm rooted, and I debloated the phone. It's very fast, If you know a away to record your screen I'll upload a video.

Well I froze all of them via titanium, some apps in there are just ones I'm not using currently. I would freeze then instead if uninstalling them personally. See screenshots below.

I recorded a video of my screen via some app. In running nova with animations at the fastest for the launcher because I don't care about transitions. Is still very fast to open spots as you can see below. I'm sure you can see that it's fluid for the most part besides my jerk's between menus scrolling like I have ADHD

I agree, and never freeze anything that you don't know the function of. It can happen accidentally, but I've learned from my mistakes.

Here's a link to check it out. Not sure if it works. If anybody wants to test out the APK, please report back with your results.
Thanks but the app is only installable on the ULTRA, MAXX, Mini, and Moto X.
it installs without problems, but doesn't appear in appdrawer, and playstore says it's incompatible with the One
I have installed the .apk, but can't start it, as it isn't present as an actual app. I think, we also need the settings app directly from the Moto X/Droid Series, in order to be able to set up the actual touchless cotrols app.
Application installed just fine on my Telus Galaxy S3 with CM10.2. Added the activities shortcut through Nova Launcher. Tried to launch each activity but it just crashed.
Rebooted and continuous errors.
There's something unique in Motorola's framework similar to TouchWiz/Sense etc. I know this is the HTC One forums, but I felt like trying it out
lol i like how the OP post an apk wants people to test but it too scared to test it himself
wont work...but

i've got the air gestures half working (screen on, scroll through browser etc) gonna try and get the rest working later on...
as for motorola touchless control apk it will never work without the motorola chip inside
Touchless controls is going to require a Motorola Phone. It requires a specific low-core processor that allows the phone to be constantly listening, if we kept the mic in our phones on 24/7 without Motorola's specific hardware, our battery would die in 1 hour.

I was at work and couldn't download it and play with it. I have since tried it (it failed for me too), and have done some more digging. Apparently, the Moto X has a core in it's processor made to do just this. We do not have that core. Looks like this is a lost cause...
Stop saying core! It's a DSP, noting 'core' about that. .
But yes, this is useless without that chip. There is a app on play store that does the same thing and you can even set the wake phrase ('Jarvis!'). Haven't tried it so I cannot comment on battery, but I'm sure it uses quite a bit.

Is this going to be able to work with the nexus 5 because is has the same snapdragon 800 or will it still struggle? So disappointed the nexus 5 doesn't feature some of the moto x impressive features like touchless control and amazing battery. Otherwise it is a great phone!

Didn't anybody tell you? We're obliged to mess around with our phones, edit build.props, you know, stuff that could render our devices as, well.....paperweights really, just so the op can laugh at our expense.
How about OP, you install on your device, if it doesn't work....bad times, if it does work, post a solution. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Use System App remover (root) tool to remove bloatware off Tmobile phones! Make sure you backup your files and data using titanium backup or your favorite backup app! Lets help the new guys have a better chance at not bricking their phones. And support these developers by buying the full versions of their apps! Remember to be careful! Especially when deleting programs off your phone!

Greenify helps control app battery hogs:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
Tips:
Some ways to reduce lag:
Turn ART on. You need to turn on the developer option feature. ART will load apps faster and save battery life. The version on KitKat is in beta, but I havent had any issues.
To turn on developer option:
1. On your Android phone head over to Settings->About Phone.
2. Now scroll down to Software Information and tap.
3. Next, scroll down and tap the Build Number for about 7 times, and a popup message will tell you 1. that Developers Options has been enabled on your Phone.
To Turn ART on:
1. Head to Settings-> Developer Options.
2. Tap on Select Runtime.
3. Select Use ART.
4. The phone will reboot and optimize your programs then you'll be good to go.
Another tip to fix lag:
1. Head to Settings-> Developer Options.
2. Scroll Down to Transition animation scale and tap it.
3. Select Animation scale .5
4. Select Transition animation scale and tap it.
5. Select Animation scale .5.
6. Select Animator duration scale and tap it.
7. Select Animation Scale .5
This Should Help speed things up. Another option is to replace the stock lg launcher. I personally use Nova Launcher Prime(paid version).
This is a link to the free version which is very good.
Nova Launcher:

How to run any app in dual window:
First you need to have a rooted phone.
download Build Prop Editor
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=en
open the app and go to persist.splitwindow.support_all
tap on it and change the value to true, tap save and then reboot. Now you can choose whatever apps you want in dual window.

Then go to nova settings. Then go to gestures and buttons. Find double tap. Tap on it then select the program you downloaded. Youll have knock on and off back.

What happened to all the new things I was supposed to see with this new update? Like multiple users, quick settings, etc. Sprint disabled all the good stuff as always? This update sucks
Is the mute option still available in the notification menu or using the volume rocker? Or is it stick with only vibrate?

I just ran ANTUTU and got 52408, stock L rom with stock kernel, no debloat. Just disabled some internal apps..
This score was actually better than KK for me on a custom ROM (think I was slightly over 50K
I initially upgraded without a factory reset, but noticed some issues so I ODIN back to NK2, reset, OTA to L, reset again, then set up phone and restored apps via titanium. All bugs dispersed after doing it that way. Took extra time, but seems to be well worth it now.
I just purchased the LG G4 H812 (in Canada) and I love it! I found that there was a few things that I changed right away and would love to hear what you have done to make this phone even better!
Here are a few things I have done so far;
Disabled a bunch of unneeded apps
Disabled Dual Window
Disabled QuickCircle case
Disabled sound on keypress
Turn Off Mobile Data (unless no wifi - while driving etc)
Installed Launcher <3
Turned off Smart Bulletin
Turned off NFC
Use Smart Unlock (Face and On-Body)
Increased vibration strength
Enabled Voice Clarity when not using voip
Installed V10 Camera Mod apk
Installed SystemUI Tuner (ADB permissions)
Disabled "ok Google" detection from any screen
I have been getting great battery life on this phone too! This is lots of web browsing, youtube, using the camera, small amount of gaming and lots of reading on the XDA app
Cheers!

And depending on model it's very risky to brick the device!
Added SystemUI Tuner to get immersive mode. Had to do some ADB commands to break my device's virginity. ?
Disabled the "ok Google" detection from any screen. I think this helped with scrolling jittery lagging in some apps.
Using the built in cleaning app has helped too. I run it about once a week or after installing/removing a bunch of apps.
Now I don't swipe away my frequently used apps from the recent apps button/screen and that really speeds up launching the apps I use often.

I do sometimes when using YouTube, there will be stutter going to the home screen . No such issue in other apps. Sometimes the app switcher has some stutter but not too noticeable.

There has been some very weird stuff going on with those running Nova. It's not been proven that it's the cause but there is a pattern showing up. I know you've been running it like forever, I get that. But perhaps Google is inadvertently breaking some things with their monthly updates. Why not try uninstalling Nova after backing up the settings and run stock launcher for a few days. Just to see if it makes a difference or not.

I tried that a while back on my Nexus 5X and didn't see a way. But I'm sure things have changed so there might be now. If not then you'll only be stuck for a couple of days before you go back. Curious for your results on the lag and camera issue.
