Has anyone noticed a 2 to 3 second lag when launching an app?
No, not at all. I don't know of any other solution then preforming a full wipe and restoring either a fresh stock image or a custom rom. That way you definitely know any wrong settings/abusive apps are gone.
Are you only noticing in certain apps? Have you modified in any way?
I would suggest ditching the LG Launcher and trying Google Now Launcher/Nova or Apex or something of that type. I did that on mine and it seems a lot more responsive.
Let me know if you need any more help.

The other option worth trying is to go to Developers option and set the animation to 0.5x and see if that made any difference.
I notice it with the stock messaging app, there is a good 2/3 second lag before it launches. Really annoying. Perhaps it could be to do with increased DPI at a guess?

Stock messaging app is slow to open as can be when opened up initially. Subsequent runs are okay.
For this reason I switched to another messaging app (Textra in this case).
thanks for all the replies.
i'm already running Nova and always turn down animations to .5x after I get a new phone
strange that nobody else is experiencing the same issue

Does anyone else see the phone start slowing down when recieving a text message while your using the phone (like scrolling down the app drawer?)
is there any way to fix this? and can i ask why with such beastly specs the app drawer scrolling slows down with a live wallpaper on?... whats the point of the introduction of lwps if even this kinda phone cant "handle" it?

Poorly optimized code I'd guess. I'm on a custom ROM and it's smooth no matter what. It could also have to do with what you've got running in the background. If you've got like 10 different things running actively in the background I would think that'd slow things down.

What ROM are you using? I'm on bakedsnackbeta7 it could be its poorly optimized cause its still beta
Out of nowhere my GS3 is very sluggish. Swiping between home screens is jumpy. Some games literally run at half-speed. Launching apps can take quite some time. Etc...
I haven't installed any new apps since the last time I noticed it was running smoothly. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this. I've tried battery pulls, hard resets and clearing the cache from CMW. But nothing seems to work.
I was thinking that maybe an app had been updated in the background that is now a problem. But I can't think of a way to tell which apps have been recently updated.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

This might sound stupid, but did you check if the power saving mode is on or not?

Damn I feel like an idiot
Thanks though... it was making me crazy.
Factory reset, restore no apps. Check got lag. Add one app, check for lag. Continue until lag is found
And when you add an app back, dl it fresh from the market (no restoring anything).

I'm sorry, but when i'm running stock or a custom TouchWiz ROM, i tend to have power saving mode on 24/7, and never experience any UI sluggishness.

Depends on the app. Non-stock launchers get very choppy on power save mode.
Any solutions for this issue... anyone try pimp my rom?

One of the first things I thought of was that maybe Nova received an update that I wasn't aware of and it had broken something. So I tried TouchWiz and GoLauncher... all with the same result. Overall, the phone felt slightly sluggish. But some things apps and games became unusable. The new Rayman game literally ran at half speed. Other games would run at full speed but you could tell that control response was just a hair off. So you would end up walking off a lot of cliffs to straight into an enemy before you could get a jump off. It also effected load times on most things. Some apps that would load in 4-5 seconds were suddenly taking 30-40.
I can repeat this problem 100% of the time. I even tried toggling off the CPU option but Power Save still gave me the same issues (which doesn't make sense).
I have a completely stock never rooted GS3 and have had this sluggishness since the update. It happens when the screen auto dims, even though I have auto-dimming turned off. It also happens when I wake the screen up. I can't get the notification bar down or anything for about 5 long seconds; then it's fine until the shadow of my finger covers the front light sensor and the screen dims. It's almost like a hiccup. I'm going to factory reset this weekend. Was hoping to get Jelly Bean before I did so I didn't have to download all my apps again, and set all my settings. This is my first Samsung Android and it's an amazing phone when it's first started but after it runs for a few hours it gets buggy; so I'm pretty disappointed.
A note to anyone trying to solve this mystery: before the update I couldn't get my calendar to accept custom notification sounds, now I can. Since not everyone had that issue I'm guessing the software had issues since the day the phone was built. In manufacturing sometimes **** happens.
When in doubt pull it out . Oh I miss the BlackBerry Battery pull days to fix lag

Try Launcher Pro Plus - fastest, smoothest, most customizable launcher there is. Period. Forget Nova and Apex... Go try LPP!! Never lags or gets choppy, power save mode or not.

Fede is actually working on a new update. No release date yet. LPP still works better than any launcher out there. I've tried virtually every launcher available, and always go right back to LPP. Who cares that it hasn't been updated in a year or more, it hasn't needed to be updated. It's flawless.

Nice. Same here. Haven't switched to another launcher since the captivate. Glad Fede is ok. I remember a couple months back, one of the android sites sent out a call for him. when you would type fede carnales in google, choices such as "fede carnales dead?" came up.

Anyone notice choppy transitions when going back home? I find the transitions to be super choppy and it looks like dropped frames or could it be lag. I was able to fix the issue by reducing all animations to.0.5 but its not actually a fix. I'm very surprised that this is happening on this phone. Never had this issue on the s10+.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Wow! I'm the only one experiencing this? That must mean I have a faulty phone. Weird thing is that I started using Nova launcher instead of the stock one and the issue is gone. So the issue must be with the launcher rather than the phone itself.

Couldn't tell ya because Nova Launcher is app #1 I install! Haha.
I've noticed similar issues as well. Animations when scrolling feels intermittently choppy compared to my Pixel 3 XL. Also happens when the header drops down/hides in Samsung apps such as settings or messages.
I posted about this a few days ago. Ruching the animation settings has had a huge effect for me, it's much better than it was

I don't think Samsung will ever be able to compete with Google in smoothness (especially now that the Pixel is going to 90Hz too!). Sammy can put 100GB of RAM and max out CPU capabilities and still get some stutter or lag. It's very minimal since the 9th generation, but some people (like me) still notice it. Even with animations off/minimal, it's there. But reducing animations and switching to Nova launcher significantly reduces the amount I see it.
Hi
Since some time (the last two ota maybe) I have terrible lags!
Lags in scrolling, touch, and gestures, so everything is a pain, like, writing, gaming, facebook... [emoji24]
Llike one time every two seconds something takes all CPU...
Till before they happen all was very smooth and had quite the same apps of now
I tried changing screen refresh but is not that.
Someone experiences something like this?
Any advice?
Thanks.
P.S. it was so difficult also type this...[emoji35]
Well people, forget it.
Looking at logs I discovered that my custom launcher continuously failed to write a certain SQL stuff.
Reinstalling it solved the problem... :angel:

Navigation bar gestures are slower then usual and opening apps too.
And why background on app drawer are not transparent?

I have the same problem with a S20 Plus after switching to Android 11. Laggy when switching from applications to Home. A little lag when opening applications on the Home section. I tried a hard reset, wipe cache partition but no change. It is possible to change the firmware to another country. Maybe we can solve the problem.
Yesterday updated fine. Had a problems with big lagging but today everything is perfect and smooth without any changes from my side.
It's big update so I made a factory reset
One of the first things I do any Android is turn off all animations in Developer Options.
Do the same on the PCs.
A need for speed.
So did I. But this is not a solution. Did you pay a lot of money for this phone to go into Developer Option and force your phone to work better? It's not like that? So it's not right what Samsung is doing with these updates. And on One Ui 2.5 I had the same lag.
It is very strange that many do not have this problem.

I reset the phone from Recovery Mode, I gave wipe cache partition and I still had lag. I hope it's a software problem. Do you think this lag comes from a hardware problem?
See what the cpu load is when it's doing this.
Turn animations see if it helps or not.
Does it happen in safe mode?

It behaves the same way in Safe Mode. I switched all animations to 0.5. I hope it will be resolved at the next update.

See if it's using excessive cpu or ram resources when that happens... if so track it down.
There may be something you missed, play with it.
Pay attention to any power management that is active, a known source of gremlins.
This is why when I have a fast, stable OS I like, I leave it be.

Unfortunately no...
My device is S20+ Exynos Indian.
Have exactly the same problems.
Samsung always f#kc things up with gesture navigation, I mean seriously how hard is to leave it transparent ff$.
Lag while using swipe gestures is happening for me on Nova launcher. I never use one ui launcher.
I guess samsung is still lagging behind other OEMs when it comes to third party launcher support for gesture navigation.

I was Nova Launcher prime user for a year, but i use gestures and on One UI 2.5, gestures was super snappy, super fast but now on 3.0, i feel like is lagging, like animation is 10 milisecound longer, and i hate it.

It works faster but it is not normal for an expensive phone to work forced by certain settings. To give you an example of how big the difference is, my wife has a OnePlus 5T and it goes faster than my phone ...

Animations by their very nature always slow down a fast machine which is why I always disable them.
Backup all data now. When Androids crash many times the only warnings you get are slow performance and subtle stability issues.
The next boot could be the last on that load. Normally Androids are very stable... if it's a good load.
Try a network reset. Double check all settings and clear system and Samsung apks data as needed. You could globally clear settings but you might as well do a full reload at that point.
You can try running SD Maid to see if it gets rid of some of the junk.
You could try something I normally never recommend, a hard reset. It may not help at all or the issue will reoccur if it's an apk or settings issue to begin with.
If the OS has been heavy used or has had large firmware updates done, it may be that time.
It only takes one bad install/uninstall to screw up an OS. If the load is older then 6 months now might be a good time... nothing like a clean OS with only the apks you use and like loaded.

The phone was activated on December 7. When opened, run One Ui 2.5. He had the same problems. I thought upgrading to One Ui 3.0 would solve the problem. But that didn't happen. I also did a Hard Reset. No change.

So the phone was ok on 2.5?
Could downgrade it back to 2.5 if so.
Probably too late to return it; if not do so!
Otherwise having Samsung look it over be the best bet.
If it's a carrier phone, time to start digging into them to make it right.
Sorry to hear of this...
Upside is you get to practice your assertiveness skillset. You can never have too much of that.

Nope. And on 2.5 he did the same. Do you think it's a motherboard problem?
On the other hand, is it really normal to always keep a phone with 0.5 x animations?
