[Q] LG G3 UI Lag - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys
Just a quick one , a while back I tested a G3 for about a day ( Contract Phone) and had horrific UI Lag and App Lag on the simplest of things (coming from a HTC One M7) and performed the usual of ART, try to debloat, Transistions to 0.5 etc but that lag was still present and ruined the experience of the phone which I returned a few days later as that level of lag was experience breaking.
I have an opportunity to Upgrade as I never did and want to know if 5 Months on has the UI Lag/Redraws been resolved at all with Updates it has received in the meantime as it was an awesome phone apart from those Issues.

Yes, lag is a lot solved. Even after update, it happen some but tot that usually.
Lag is completely fixed at Lollypop version, but this one use little more battery.
When i got my phone, it took entire night to finish all updates, but after that, phone was completely different. You should update.

[Q] Swap or wait for update?

I have the phone since tuesday but there is a yellow spot on the edge of the screen, lots of force closes, sense reloading all the time and some more issues. My friend, also with a one x, has no issues and decent battery life while mine kinda sucks with under 2 hour screen on use.
I know this is partly due to software but my girlfriend had nothing but trouble with her SGS2 while mine worked flawlessly, both the same rooted roms and I tried everything to fix hers.
I'm affraid my One X could be such a 'bad' device as well so what do you say, try to get a different brand new one or wait for software updates?
BT
wait
wait for update.Onex Is the worlds fastest mobile phone .also it has super camera .small problems will be fix within few months .
enjoy your htc onex
I still want the one X just not this one since it has problems.
I think software updates will solve most of the issues which are common whenever a phone that is so popular hits the market. people test them frantically

[Q] Laggy phone?

Anyone else feel the phone is rather laggy? Pretty surprising considering the specs. Part of me is hoping it is just the rom?
I have tried the hidden menu tricks to no luck. I also rooted and installed seeder and that doesn't seem to help as well. I feel it is most obvious on the keyboard.

yeah it is kinda sluggish
I agree
Yes, it's kind of laggy and stuttery in comparison to my previous G2...
This is my biggest concern with this phone, deciding if I will send it back within the next 2 weeks.
This post is laggy
There are a few stutters here and there but generally snappy for me.
Switch to ART. No more lag.
No lag for me. I'm using SwiftKey keyboard and Nova launcher, lag is gone
(+ some kernel tweaks using Trickster mod)
Personally I found that switching to ART didn't make a difference. Final version of ART in Android L will be great, but this is not the one we're having in KitKat.
My previous phone was a S4 GPE.

There's already thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752303 where everyone may discuss absence or existence of lags and ways to alleviate them
This phone isn't laggy nor it is super quick... it's adequate. If you want a quick phone go buy a Nexus 5.

Ic, still a long time, but it is coming and it will aid in a better / faster LG G3? Just so i know if i should root mij phone and tweak here nd there. Or if i should just wait for the updates from LG itself to make the phone faster.
The galaxy s5 lags about 2x as much with half the resolution. Every phone lags.
I had a laggy phone when I first bought my LG G3. I took my phone back to the store and was going to return it. the salesman told me to do a factory reset first. I did the factory reset and now my phone is a super phone. No more lag. Faster than my Note III or my Wife's HTC One M8 hands down.
Keep in mind that some of the frame dropping is intentional... It's part of the power management.
I honestly can't wait until some kernel devs get some custom kernels out. Stock kernels tend to be really conservative. On my nexus 5, I'd see better performance and more efficient power management with custom kennels.
So it's a waiting game at this point.

Ever since the G3 got bumped. Has it improved?

I had the G3 back when it first got released .. Before it was bumped and ROMS and scripts could be made.
I was sick of the lag and how slow it was compared to my previous phone,, the note 3, so I went back to it.
I guess my question is. Ever since all these scripts and ROMs (and lollipop release) have been made. Is the G3 now a fast phone? Like by a long shot compared to the early days before anything was possible?
Thanks
I have never exoerienced lag on G3.
Using 3 gig version, always on custom rom and it is completely lag free.
I must admit that I haven't had any lag either in my 3gb version either. But I'm not using any custom roms or anything like that. Just stock. I'm very happy with the device. I had more lag on my Sony Xperia Z2 than on this device. But I did notice yesterday once I had to do a battery pull due to the the multitasking window wouldn't disappear right after unlocking my device. First time it has happened, so I don't really mind.
But once again, lagfree on my stock unit.
Totally worth it
To be honest with numb it just made me love my G3 so much more, I was going to sell it but since now there are a lot of roms coming out and I can flash anything I want I would say it's worth it 100%
No. Lag is still there.

*RANT* AAARRRRGGGG!!!! Curse you stock lollipop note 4

(I know there isnt any solution except to root and flash to a custom, just ranting. Thanks ahead to those who dont flame me)
Hey guys,
its been some time since my last post and boy is this one a headache. as many of you know the 5.0.1 update got rolled out to a major portion of note 4 devices recently. Me being one of them as of yesterday. Since I made the bad decision to click update I have had nothing but issues. Battery life, overall performance and graphics have taken heavy hits. My gear 2 only unlocked my phone and randomly dialed ppl maybe 2 times a day before now its 15. I mean i called my ex at 3am.....long story but hell! its gotten to be a huge headache. The chromecast refuses to connect or be setup by my note 4. It insists that theres some new wifi network issue that wasnt there the night before when I casted some youtube to the tv. My gear 2 has also had constant connection issues, not nearly the range it had before.
The most annoying issue which is also related to the excessive pocket dials is that everytime I pick up(and even when its just laying there not being touched) my phone and unlock it, it immediately takes me to the phone/contacts. No pressing anything, no swiping, just looking at the screen as i pick up the phone some how indicates that I was finished with whatever I was doing before and want to suddenly call someone up. So it doesnt matter what I do this thing is just being difficult. The new phone pop up is a nightmare I somehow hung up on 3 ppl today while just holding it against me ear, wasnt even resting on my shoulder.
now excuse me while i eat some cheese....
Factory reset and you'll find it smoother, quicker and less buggy.
The user file system is mixed lollipop and KitKat until you do that. Try that if wipe, root and custom is not your thing.

Ya i figured as much. thanks for the reply
actually all you have to do is clear the cache and it stablizes.. But i do feel the Note 4 is has more hicups with the 5.0.1 update.
i just have not found a ROM yet that i want to flash. Still waiting for the Cyanogen official.
All lollipop roms have issuses with performance. My nexus 6 was really buggy to the point i sold it and picked up a lg g flex 2 running 5.0.1 and it was slower than my g3. So far after selling that device and getting the note 4 the note 4 with lolipop seem the most fluid out of the bunch. It's gonna take several updated for this lolipop os to run like kit kat. Maybe take years.
Maybe when 5.1 comes they fixed alot

after installing lollipop should I hard reset anyway?

I have the download and things are fine. Is there an advantage to hard reset anyway ?
Will the phone run any better?
just curious
thanks
It did for me. I did a cache wipe then a factory reset. It helped the battery life and got rid of the lag. Good luck
I installed Lollipop and ran it for a couple days. I thought my device was running fine however beginning with gingerbread I began doing resets with every major update, and I did one again for lollipop two days after the ota. I haven't noticed any big difference. Really. However I don't obsess over things like lag and battery life like others. There have been little bugs here and there, like smart lock not working but even that is no longer an issue (working now). Resets, while inconvenient, are good practice because the more you do them, the less daunting they seem. And if you're having major problems it's definitely a good idea.

Thanks, I went for it and dedicated the time to redo the phone. I compare it to Windows install
Thanks
