I had to sell my G3 after about a week because I was having issues with lag. Was this fixed with today's update?
You *had* to sell it because of that? The only lag I notice is on wakeup which isn't that big of deal.
It is significantly improved. And no, it's not just my imagination.

Why didn't you just exchange it for another one? You must had a defective one. You were within the return period
Everyone complains about this so called lag. The only lag I had ever on this phone was with the keyboard taking forever to load. Fixed that with a factory reset. Starting to think that some folks are having lag due to user settings.
Yeah, I don't know what lag people are talking about here. Butter smooth and no stuttering of any kind since day one.
Me too fast as hell no lag and im underclocked and undervolted
So what does the new update fix? Is performance or battery better?

The lag is horrible . j/k when I leave move tho it does have lag but not as much as before.
BAD ASS G3
It's hard for me to say as the lag went away after I debloated and for rid of carrierIQ, buuuut.... LG did enable 60fps full time from dynamic, and that seems to help people.
I will say, that rooting, changing kernels and getting rid of carrierIQ helped a ton.
The only place I ever had lag was in the app drawer. It is considerably less on the m update, happens rarely now, where it used to happen a lot on C.
I would love to see you guys post some videos of this lag. I'm starting to think it is very much exaggerated in many cases.
When my phone was stock it was not laggy except the keyboard and even that wasnt that bad. Now with animations off and other tweaks it is lightning fast.

Disabling or lowering animations, freezing bloatware, using lighter weight launcher like Nova.

Truthfully...it's not.

This rom when installed correctly blows stock out of the water. Add the Nova launcher..and tweak the settings...and you will see exactly what I mean.Use the latest TWRP..and wipe correctly...and you won't want to go back to stock...ever.
He has a new update coming soon...which will add even more to it.
No need to go full unroot if you have Triangle away & TWRP

No issues here with any of 3 different roms. What apps are you running or is it like this immediately after flashing? sounds like something is running in the background causing your problem. Is media scan running constantly? Need more info on what is going on in the background to diagnose.

Maybe try to reduce the Animated Scale setting under Settings - Developer Options from 1x to 0.5x or below? Toggle GPU rendering setting in there as well.
I also agree that a lot is dependent on your launcher. Nova is good to compare too *only* if you optimize it's settings to set all to "Faster than light"

I'm on the newest version of CleanRom. I much prefer it to stock. There are a lot of features I can't live without. Still, the price you pay is with scrolling. It's jerky compared to stock, especially when you are slow scrolling. Fast scrolling is not an issue.
Yeah, I don't know what you talking about. I'm running Jedi X6.1.2 and I don't feel a performance difference, but I do have a lot of nice goodies stock doesn't have.
OP should make a video to show people his problem
I experience none of that with jedi or cleanrom

I know what he means. I also started a thread about jerky scrolling. Some people seem to have decent eyes they just dont realize or never seen a fluid scrolling capable samsung rom. My stock browser is buttery smooth even with heavy picture loaded wep pages. However tapatalk and facebook and some apps are super jerky. Even setting menu of phone is very jerky. Unbelievable. They are jerky when u scroll only with medium speed. If you scroll very slow or very fast its smooth.
This is very annoying for me. So I flashed every available rom and kernel and tried every rom/kernel combo. I think I found the solution.
Seems like The problem is caused by cpu governer + rom type. So I tried some stock roms that are very smooth and that are jerky.
I got the best scrolling with note2core kernel and ONLY IF you select iNTERACTIVE governer. Perseus and other kernels only have pegasusq governer. Once I made it interactive they all became super smooth.
If you are running perseus kernel or such u can also test this by selecting "performance" governer. It basically keeps your cpu in highest level. And your scrolling becomes buttery smooth.
It has something to do with cpu levels I guess. With pegasusq there is not much load to trigger higher cpu levels so it uses low levels.
I suggest you to try note2core with interactive governer.

the lag should be enough, i did it on my galaxy s3 i had one that seemed to have alot of micro lag......if they can see it they should replace it. Most likely they will ask you to show them the problem, tell them you have a friend with the note 2 and you dont see any of this on his phone and think that it must be a bad unit. they should just replace it if its within the alotted time. just keep complaining you didnt pay that much money for a device to be as laggy as a last years gen phone and so on blah blah blah.....they should give you a new one.

What have you done/installed since you got your phone? My phone actually hasn't experienced any noticeable lag at all, not even once since opening the box. And I had three of them - all had zero lag. Of course, I still went and updated it and disabled some stock apps. It's getting better and better. The only issue is the speed at which this phone gets warm performing basic tasks like camera, email, internet. Even sometimes in my pocket with Sync turned off and Sound muted, the phone would get warm by itself. That's funny.

I installed action launcher, removed animations and thats about it. Right now I'm downloading the wicked rom to install, but I don't want to lose all of the samsung features such as, "smart scroll, s beam, multi-window, etc). Would you happen to know if the wicked v2 rom removes any of those?
im tired of the lag too.im on stock rooted with all the gimmics disable , my gf gs3 is alot faster. gallery takes about 2 sec just to open.
hopefully is fixed. had the htc one but battery life on it doesnt compare to gs4 .
If you don't want to be rooted to "kill the lag" go to recovery mode and factory reset and reboot. Do not touch or do anything with the phone for 5 minutes before setting up.
Im stock rooted, running Faux's kernel. I ALWAYS disable animations in Developer options....that alone eliminates much of the lag in any phone. Also, you can disable the S Voice connection to the home button.
Lastly if you want an incredibly ultra fast experience in scrolling and app drawer.... Install Nova...and make sure to make scroll speed "faster than light". You will then see how fast this phone can be when not slowed down by animations. The nice thing about Touchwiz, is that the settings and notification tray look fairly stock JB....so it matches great with Nova.
This S4 is FLYING....so friggin fast, zero lag, great battery life!
Try it out!
Cheers.

Thanks in fact i'm using perseus kernel, but i think it depend on which apps i'm using. On some apps i have no lag.
I also use pheonix rom, but if i want to eliminate these lags, i'll loose some battery life.
I think i'll buy zerolemon battery and put higher settings on the kernel. But i really need the settings for color on perseus kernel and i don't know if any other kernel use it?
If you're on Stock Rom then there'll be lag, in xda, in Tapatalk, when scrolling in my files and almost everywhere else. But since I moved to Android Revolution HD, almost 50% of those lag things are gone. Now when I scroll through Tapatalk, or in Twitter, it's just smooth as hell. Well not iOS or WP smooth, but for Android it's more than enough. Honestly I've never believed or seen a droid phone could perform this fluidly.
I sounded like a custom Rom fan, but let me tell you, I actually hate them, and always preferred stock ROMs, but this ARHD is something.

Try this: Set it on, go into the email app and click into an email (not just inbox but an email) now scroll quickly. For me I always see distortion...I've tried many times with different roms / kernels but its always the same. Not a biggy though, I just use another email app now
Edit: Im talking about the email app not gmail app btw.
Lol. That is due to Mali's slower fill rate. And once you scroll through all of it, it doesn't do it anymore. Same in the browsers. You're less likely to see that on a power vr or adreno platform.

It has nothing to do with gpu rendering. You can replicate it in many browsers with it with out GPU rendering ticked. It can minor or major issues but I just haven't run into any lately, so for now it stays permanently ticked til I come across something elsemucked up.

On AOSP 4.4 ROMs I get way worse benchmarks than I do on TW 4.4 ROMs. But no matter what I do, I always have choppy performance and insane lag on any ROM I try for this phone.

I'm pretty sure the reason is becuase you have a lot more apps on your phone, starting with a different launcher.
I don't know why Android does this (or is it the app developers causing it?)...but a lot of apps load into memory whether you run them or not. Less memory available = slower performance. This is why I was disappointed when the Note 4 came with 3GB instead of 4GB of memory.
I have a lot of apps on my phone, and especially if multitasking it is quite laggy (for example, when I go for a walk, I'll be playing music through BT, and have MyTracks running to track the walk. If a text comes in, it has a very long lag before it opens).
This is the reason I'll likely be replacing my Note 4 with something else soon.
Well, I so have a TMobile N4 on the way. Plan to root, and install a KK ROM. Been researching on the TM Dev site, and there appears to be a great one there. Everybody touts the speed and battery performance.
That being said, the topic of 5.1.1 came up. One of the folks there had just got the T3 version of the N4 wiht 5.1.1, and he said as far as he is concerned, no ROM necessary. Says it flies. No comparison.
So, hopefully, 5.1.1 will be here on AT&T before long.
I switched back to stock launcher, removed a few weather widgets and a few less used apps and now mine flies.
I guess we have been lucky, we have never experienced any battery issues or any other things spoken of during this 5.0.1 update.
The only issue we have ever had is the issue with wifi vs 4G LTE. When you reach an area with wifi it sees the signal, wont connect due to not having the pw and the phone becomes useless unless wifi is turned off or you leave the area. Still waiting on speedify to come through with its beta.

I decided to try the stock launcher after reading your post. It is hard to believe how much faster it is. I miss the customization but love the extra performance. Hope I can figure out why the stock launcher keeps crashing once in a while.

Yeah, after an hour of using TW, the recent apps lag was back. Switched back to Nova, no lag. For a few minutes. So much for that. Does anyone know exactly what the nature of the "memory leak" in 5.0.1 is? This must be related somehow.

Just curious, for both of you. I do not have my power saving mode turned on. There is a tab there that restricts cpu performance if its on.
JFYI...This past week I got a T-Mobile Note 4. Rooted it, installed a 5.1.1. ROM, and it is much faster. I too use Nova Launcher.
Battery is great too. I typically do an overnight / screen off test to get a general feeling of battery performance.
My AT&T Note 4 overnight with power saving off, wifi on, BT on, used just under 5% / hour. The TM one with same conditions lastnight used .73% / Hour. Yes...less than 1% / hour. I'm seeing quotes over in the ROM thread of 5-6 hours SOT.
I was ready to ditch the Note 4. Not now.

Just curious, for both of you. I do not have my power saving mode turned on. There is a tab there that restricts cpu performance if its on.

Wont be long now I hope. I noticed most every app I own has updated in the past 2 days. Perhaps it is in anticipation? I honestly dont know how it works.

I don't think play store apps have anything to do with '5.1.1' pushed by Verizon.

Perhaps, but it seemed weird all of them updated within 2 days (41 apps) go figure. Dunno .
