I have the Sprint HTC Arrive. Got it and the phone worked perfectly. Then after installing some apps, the home screen and apps menus would stutter when scrolling. So I hard reset the phone and it didn't go away. I went to Sprint and they agreed it was an issue so they replaced the phone.
With the new phone (which worked perfectly), I checked every menu after installing any new app. Everything was great until I installed POCKET RECORDER. As soon as I did that, the stutter came back. This time it's in my PEOPLE menu, pictures and web. Of course, I immediately uninstalled and hard reset. Well, the stutter is still there after that.
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve or what it could be. It's a very annoying stutter. I am hoping I can resolve without an exchange again. Any help/comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I have the same problem,I own two HTC 7 PRO and one of them has the same problem - stutter when scrolling.
Either HR or Reflash do not help.
stuttering? how bad is it? and how are you scrolling?
i have an HTC HD7 and i do experience slight stutters when scrolling up and down the tiles(only noticed stutters when scrolling up and down the tiles). sometimes its scrolls smoothly and most of the time it stutters. i suspected as well that some apps make scrolling stutter yet im not that sure if there are apps that make scrolling a little laggy.
if compared with the page that shows all the apps, scrolling is much smoother than that of the start screen.
btw, i only have 24 tiles pinned on my start screen (just a run down of tiles. maybe somebody will be able to pinpoint which one is the culprit. i have settings, people, phone, messaging,xbox,zune,bible7, fs calculator, the weather channel, camera, me tile and 4 fave contacts tile, 2 email tiles, htc notes and notepad free, ie, marketplace, pictures and HTC hub)
Don't have any stutter and have pocket recorder installed. Never actually used the program though so just uninstalled as a precaution.

My guess is that this is due to the use of SD memory rather than NAND. The more you write to the SD the more you will notice "lag" when the OS has to re-read certain information.
Of course, this does not explain why it still lag's after a hard-reset, so I could be all wrong. I haven't come across it on my Omnia7 though, but did notice it on an early HD7 (this was part of why it went back to the store).
it's pretty noticeable. in some areas, it almost skips.

I dont have any of these programs installed. You may have to get it exchanged - that seems like the only fix.

BUT as soon as I loaded POCKET RECORDER, it started the stutter. My guess is the Pocket Recorder writes the the SD card in such a way that it causes some read issues. So even after an uninstall, the problem is still there.

Good plan. I would highly recommend not using that app! The stutter didn't happen until after I used the program once.
I have that problem on my HTC htd7. Makes sense if you have lotsof you sd card, but doesn't after a hard reset. I dunno do sd cards needs to be defrgmented? Could it be a hardware or software issue? Its starting to feel lke ms released wp7 way before it was ready.

Which phone do you have?
I have pocket recorder on my Omnia 7.
I'm pretty sure at some point in the past I have used the program.. I don't notice stuttering.
Any one else opened this program and not received lag / stuttering?
Let me address the stutter and NAND/SD Card issue.
The Lag in List Scrolling likely has absolutely nothing to do with the SD Card.
Lots of apps do not cache their data on the phone, so the issue is rarely from loading since the phone is downloading and loading that data into RAM, not to the storage. In some cases it may cache the data, but keep in mind that there are applications that actually store lots of data on the disk which do not lag when scrolling (horizontally or vertically). Stock apps do not display this, and most of them scroll (Calendar, for example, and I have a lot of stuff in mine) without any issues.
The issue I think is with the list control and how it functions.
Some people's phone may stutter, but the stuttering may be within their own personal "tolerance" limit so they don't think about it or notice. Some applications stutter a lot more than others, which leads me to believe it's a code issue.
NAND and SD Card are non-factor when an app downloads data from the internet to RAM and puts it in a list control to display on the screen. In many instances, the data those apps are loading into those lists aren't even touching the storage, nor is it even cached to storage.
Also, Windows Mobile Applications could be installed to SD Card, and even witih large lists most of those apps did not display this low level of performance... And that's running from a Class 2 SD Card on an HD2 (WM 6.5 Latest Stock ROM) with the entire application and all of its data cache installed to the SD Card.
If you can play Videos and Music off an SD Card, do you really think loading some data to display in a list control will make the phone lag? Really... Get serious about this, people...
The Storage Type is not the issue. The entire OS runs pretty good off of that SD card. There is something wrong with the list control, IMO... The Silverlight control, specifically (because I am starting to think Microsoft used more than enough Native Code in its stock applications).
A Web Browser with a large cache and caching almost every page you view scrolls flawlessly but a list in a twitter app that doesn't even cache data stutters? Seriously? It's the Storage Type's problem? Lol... No, it's not. And I've never seen any conclusive test to prove that (nor am I willing to perform my own, so take it with a grain of salt... it just makes absolutely no sense.. it's almost laughable...).
I've never experience any system-wide stuttering (I wonder if some of the SD cards are rubbish, in that case), but the list scrolling in WP7 is just unbearable. It causes ghosting and all kinds of effects on the screen that are neither bearable or ergonomic (leads to eye strain, headaches after prolonged use, etc. among other things).
I have to say I'm confused as to how an app could cause permanent problems to the phone. On a hard reset I think I am right in saying the internal storage will be completely wiped and re-written with the core OS data from the ROM?
And being ROM there is no way this can be affected without a flashing process... Unless you have some dodgy hardware/SD card and it is just a coincidence that this particular program was run when the problem appeared?
Hey guys,
I love my Optimus G, but I have a question, are some people experiencing some choppiness when they are scrolling through their contacts, or whenever they scroll through a website that has a lot of comments? My phone shutters a little bit when it happens and since all the reviews say they saw no lagging whatsoever, I was wondering whether this was normal or not?
Thanks for the responses.

I got nearly 400 contacts and it doesnt lag at all.
Now I don't have the ATT version, but I find mine is choppy when scrolling up and down in an email message, so if I reply to an email and then scroll through the original message its choppy..
Seems to be the os to me as most of the rest of the time its totally fine. I don't see any lack of performance within websites or contacts..
Hello guys,
Excuse me but let me get straight to the point: I really need a solution. I upgraded my Tab 3 from JB 4.1.2 to KitKat 4.4.2 yesterday, and one and the sole problem for me is now I'm always experiencing lag in a certain rhythm game. I'm not sure about overall device performance as I don't pay much heed and for me no extreme differences apparent for me to notice. Even if it's slower on KitKat 4.4.2, I wouldn't really mind it. But the problem is, the only thing I care is the one experiencing problem from the OS upgrade.
The game is called School Idol Festival. You can see the example of the gameplay in youtube. (can't post any link since this is a new account)
The problem is now the game lag heavily causing the notes to move shakily, especially when there are more notes appearing on screen at the same time. It's like when you move your cursor when the pc is lag heavily, the cursor would look like it's shaking a lot while on the move. It's disturbing my timing on playing the game. Previously on JB 4.1.2, the notes rarely move so shakily like that even in far more intense songs. I have tried to turn off many stock apps. My internal storage is still 8 GBs free. I already tried to close all other applications before launching the game. I never limit my CPU performance. I already tried turning off power saving. Already tried to tick force GPU rendering in Dev option. Already tried to play after I cooled down my Tab 3. But none helps.
Is there any solution for me, preferably without the need of rooting and without any good risk of breaking my device?
Thanks.
I've got an LG G4 H815 with a 701 motherboard and most of the times it's slow as ****.
My friend's 80$ Xiaomi opens apps faster and runs smoother.
When I click to open an app there's a noticeable delay until it opens and then there's another delay until the app loads.
I'm talking about basic things such as dialer, SMS, contacts, calendar, clock etc.
Keyboards are also laggy, I've tried the stock one and Gboard. Sometimes i have to wait 1-2 sec until the keyboard opens or to switch between languages.
My animations are set to .5x, I've also tried disabling them.
I'm running V29A + Titan kernel 1.8. Stock is even worse. AOSP based ROMs are somewhat better but still not as fast as 80 dollar Xiaomis.

Hey all,
I have had the Galaxy S20 Ultra for a few months now, and it's buggy as hell. Chrome frequently doesn't work, and will often have to be force stopped. I'm using SwiftKey as my default keyboard, and often times when I'm working on typing something out, the predictive text ribbon will stay shaking. When i have a video from YouTube or Twitch playing in the popoit player, it will glitch or straight up stop playing when i try go back into the app. Now I'm noticing that videos i play on YouTube are randomly freezing. What is going on with my phone?

Which variant, SD or exynos?
snapdragon
I've had Galaxy S devices for years. The only qualms were screenburn on the S7 and S8 but going forward since the S9 that's been resolved. The S20 seems to have more issues besides heat and battery issues with Exynos variants. The camera problems are known as well but I can't recall previous Galaxy's with so many software conflicts. Not sure if it's certain updates or UI's but Sammy needs to get it's act together, especially at today's pricing, it's inexcusable! FYI - S20 sales are way down compared to S9's and S10's. Covid-19 has a role in the declining numbers but reading the comments here you see a good number of users are looking for better options beyond Galaxy devices.
If i didn't still owe $1200 on it, i would totally trade it in for a Note 20
Here's another example. That's supposed to be a YouTube video in the bottom right corner. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ab9bsntvkx8tn3h/Screenshot_20200919-081354_One UI Home.jpg?dl=0
And here's a link to a video of it happening. I've noticed that i have to restart the phone to get it back to normal after this https://www.dropbox.com/s/njvi3wlgcm2g952/Screen_Recording_20200919-083357_YouTube.mp4?dl=0

As a test to make sure it's not the apps at fault, switch from the ones causing problems temporarily to alternative.
Chrome → Samsung Internet
YouTube → YouTube Vanced
SwiftKey → GBoard
If it still does it with those, factory reset but do not restore any backups, start fresh and test it like that, if it still does it then I'd see about getting it replaced, make sure your screen is clean and if you are using a 3rd party screen protector take it off as that could be causing phantom screen touches
Have had my S20U Exy for a few weeks now and besides the over processed IQ from camera I've had no issues with Chrome or anything else, phone has been rock solid, no glitches or hands at all, around 8 hrs SoT and 2 to 3 days between charges.
