G4 "stutter" scrolling - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I bought a G4 about 2 weks ago, upgrading from a Galaxy S3. I figured the high power of G4 would mean the basic tasks would fly.
But, I'm finding that scrolling in thr browser or tapatalk is stuttery. In tapatalk it's like the framerate drops to like 5fps, then if you keep going it seems to fix itself for a while and then revert.
Scrolling on websites meanwhile, can result in no scroll for a second or so and then a jump to catch up. And ive tried firefox and chrome and now the in built browser.
Other functions, like Sygic GPS, run a heap faster than on the S3. Poi search is now almost instantaneous versus 30 seconds or more, so the phone clearly has the raw cpu power.
Phone is totally stock and no SD card yet. I do have battery save mode enabled but I believe that only kicks it at 15% battery?
Looking for some help to narrow down the issue so if it's hardware I can get it replaced asap

Its not HW related bro.
The same is happening to me with tapatalk as well. I came from a HTC M8, Note 4 an GS5 where there`s not such problem like this =(

Lg's browser is smooth as butter, to me. I have not tried tapatalk.
Try with a factory reset

Ok will do. But isnt it effectively that when purchased? Was only 2 weeks ago.
I forgot about google syncing your life by default so have now switched of photos, uploads and chrome, and then swapped to the LG mail app and disabled the gmail app (can never find anything with the conversation sorting), and I the browser seems to have been smooth since. Facebook (in browser) still stutters but i think thats more facebook tbh.
Even tapatalk isnt as bad. Unless I'm simply getting used to it! Now it's 10 fps LOL. Seriously, I do notice that even when scroll in tapatalk is smooth, the font looks a little blurry and then sharpens at rest.
Fwiw i emailed the developer via play store to see if there's any incompatibility they can address with this phone.

sold my M8 and bought a LG G4...i don't regret the decision but the HTC sofware optimization with Snapdragon 801 is better then LG's with 808, the M8 didn't stutter and micro-lag as the G4, and felt snappier, even the battery was better.
Factory reset is useless IMO, i had side by side the M8 and the G4 and the framerate is horrendous on the G4 in almost all apps, not to mention Tapatalk,Chrome...etc.
The only good thing is the display, that's why i sold the M8, the body/display ratio is small.

[Q] Is your Nexus 7 little bit slow?

Hi, I bought my device recently from local store. I do have some multitouch issues (even single touch) so I'll probably be swapping for new one, hoping for good luck. But before that I have another concern, overall opening apps, switching in between and going to homescreen feels quite.. slow. Especially default youtube app takes almost 2 sec to open.
Is this normal for all devices?
Sounds like you may have a faulty device. I've never noticed my Nexus 7 to be slow in comparison to my Note 8, iPad 3 and other devices. (the iPad 3 IS slow though!) However YouTube does open slower than any other app I tried. Seems like a full second before it opens.

Yeah YouTube does take a second or two to open. But other apps are fine for me. If it's slow for other apps you have than that's not normal.

Yeah it's bit slow for other apps too, but what I care about the most is going to home screen and switching between apps, the lag there is pretty annoying and I didnt see it in reviews I checked. Considering the hardware I thought this stuff should be immediate.

If you upload a video of what you are experiencing we could compare speed to our devices. That way you can decide to return it or exchange it. You should not keep it if you find it annoying. The only question is whether you should exchange it for a correctly working tablet or return it because you need a different device altogether. (Though I've tried many tablets and haven't had one that feels faster to me.)

Mine was definitely a little sluggish too, my points of comparison were a Tab 3 8.0 and an HTC One phone. I was frustrated with the device between that and the multitouch bugs made it unusable in landscape mode. I ultimately rooted it, updated to the Q release, and put CleanROM on it and it's significantly faster and runs like I expected it to stock. Not everyone wants to root, but if you're up for it that should fix your issues I bet.

Aah should've done so, already returned it and got my money back. Leaving country for school, so I'll try to buy it there, I don't trust stores around here, this was actually already a second Nexus 7. If nothing else, multitouch issues were on both devices.

G3 letdown?

Coming from the note 3 I'd say overall this phone is better, but there's some problems with the software. At least that's what I'm guessing. When I switch to app alternatives it runs great.
For instance the keyboard feels ungodly awful. Spacebar recognizes only half my taps, and the auto correct feels poorly utilized. I have to manually select dictionary suggestions. Going to SwiftKey and there's no problems. I'd love to actually test the g3 keyboard features but It's almost unusable.
Window transitions also seem to lag a bit and I see redraws. But I also notice it sometimes too navigating settings menu.
So what do you guys think, how's the software? Should I simply flash another rom ?

Honestly the only thing I agree with you on is the keyboard but I upgraded from a gs3.
I love the phone so far. I switched from the S5. This phone feels allot like the s5 but it runs better in my opinion. I have a problem plugging things in the headphone jack. Sometimes the phone recognizes it and sometimes it doesn't.

Not sure why people post this, if you don't like it take it back. Problem solved..
The keyboard turns off auto correct out of box but leaves suggestions. When typing the two word on the left and right are suggested spellings if they are misspelled and you just swipe up on the left or right side to auto fix the word.
Coming from the note 3 I don't agree your phone is faulty keyboard is far better than the note 3. Go to your keyword setting and look around I will suggest. Only agree with window transition but it's far less laggier than the note 3
I say it's OK because I will install Google Cantonese Keyboard anyway (unfortunately, Samsung keyboards does not support ChangJei - one of the reasons I drop Samsung phones).
I came from a Note 3 as well. On it I miss the AMOLED, USB 3.0, and the S-Pen. On the G3i like the smaller form factor while keeping the larger screen and the resolution. The G3 does have some bugs I don't like though, such as my keyboard would keep reverting to the LG one until I froze it. I don't think either is better, just slightly different.
Tbh I think the lg keyboard is the worst I've ever used. I uninstalled it and I'm on the android l keyboard now
There was an update today for the keyboard.. Seems to make it much smoother and word suggestions appear as you swype and not after.. Looks to be big improvements. Also added emoji's into word suggestions . Give it a try!
I am trying this keyboard instead of using Google's and it seems to be okay.

I heard about that issue and LG is denying that its a hardware issue.. I think it may be a software bug but who knows i havent had the problem so i wouldnt know but try going back to your tmobile store if that is where you got it from if not then... you're screwed :silly:
I don't focus on stock things like keyboards which can be easily swapped for something else. I'm used to the Google Keyboard and just use it with any device, problem solved.
Personally I like my devices as close to stock Android, and with Root + Xposed you can pretty much get there. The only thing I really use that's LG's is the camera app, and it's quite good. People complain about the camera app too -- well guess what, you can load other cameras too - either the stock Google Camera or FV-5, A Better Camera, etc.
I'm coming from an HTC M8. I loved the M8 but I dropped it in a pool and TMobile gave me the option of either getting a refurb replacement via the insurance I pay for or getting a different phone. As much as I loved the M8, I took a new phone. Mostly because I wanted a larger screen again, but other than the size of the screen and maybe the camera (camera isn't a real big issue though) I loved the M8.
I will agree that I don't like the stock keyboard. But being on Android, we can change that. I've put my trusted and true Swype on and i'm back in business.
I've seen people complain about lag in the UI and there is a non root fix for that using a service phone number and changing a setting. I did notice a pinch of that lag and applied the change and it seems to have cleared up. http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-fix-lag-on-lg-g3-without-root/ if anyone is interested.
The 4K screen is more than a phone needs but isn't the reason why I chose the phone. Its pretty, plenty bright for me and yes, I was using it outside during the day and it was bring and clear enough for me. The battery is good too. I notice that when the screen is on, the battery is faster ( /duh) but when the screen is off, the battery practically doesn't go down. I have a 10,000MaH battery to recharge my devices on the go so if I it dies I can use that or guy a 2nd battery to swap. But I have an office IT job so I am never far away from a plug.
I am quite impressed with the camera though. I will always use my DSLR for important shots but this phone has a good camera and the autofocus is stupid fast.
I'm quite happy with the G3 and won't be taking it anywhere near a pool. I've had at least 7 smart phones and the M8 was the first I broke. Cost me $175 for my clumsiness.

I'll be damned...these changed settings did kill the lag issue on mine..it took a few seconds after the second boot, maybe 15-20, but suddenly it was like I was running Nova or Apex with 0 Animations. Good catch, thanks, and welcome to G3! Cheers!
Why do people miss samoled screens? Sorry but that black can suck it with the dark banding while scrolling crap. The absolute best keyboard is the Xperia one hands down. It literally took the best features from each keyboard and packed it into one. Just wish they had a theme option besides the only 3 stock ones.
I should be getting a G3 next month and can't wait. Size wise it's a downgrade from a Z Ultra but I'll be keeping it around as a tablet so to speak.
The keyboard out of the box is terrible.
However, after customizing it to my liking, it's honestly one of the better keyboards I've ever used. The update happened a day or two after I bought it as well, so perhaps that had something to do with it.
I came from the Note 3 as well, and I couldn't stand the keyboard on that (though I liked the device overall).

[Q] Buyer's remorse??

Hey Everyone,
Curious to know if anyone has buyers remorse over making the switch to this device from another device?
Does anyone ever run the phone within the confines of the original OS?
What is your real world expectation 6 months from now with this device?
How long do you plan on keeping the device?
What is the most important everyday feature that is a keeper & deal breaker?
How has the form factor impacted the way you look at phones in terms of the screen size vs the size of the device?
Also as a side note. Have anyone ever worked with a fully calibrated monitor like a Eizo or a Ben-Q?
Or for industry folks, any panasonic or Sony broadcast monitors? The correlation being those monitors have the same look at least to my eyes.
Finally have you ever acquired a device that you did not initially have buyers remorse?
I have the phone myself. I am just curious to what the community at large is vibing at the moment...
I'm happy with the G3 especially the screen and camera. I jumped to the G3 from the LG Flex. Nice that the T-Mobile G3 comes with a unlocked bootloader and I'm sure development will be good with time. I'm a phone junkie and usually just keeps phones around 6 months. Jump helps with that.
Sometimes I DO regret getting this phone. It's a good phone, but it's just not the earth shattering, mega phone I was hoping for. Even rooted with no bloatware, i still experience lag, freezes, and subpar battery life. Also, maybe it's just my device, but I'm really not impressed with the screen at all. The blacks seem way too "milky", and i really can't see the difference between this and a 1080 screen, except for when I look at certain photos or videos.
The camera is nice for a 13mp shooter. That's really the main positive.
I returned it after 2 weeks. To many performance trade offs for the QHD screen. Once the more powerful phones hit later this year (Shamue and Note 4) the G3 will struggle. Although that's why the Prime is being released.
Curious what other 5.5" screen are you comparing it to?
Me too returned it after 2 weeks, and the reason was just the screen, everything else is great.
First, couldn't stand this yellowish tinted screen and the poor blacks, and second because of the lag/stuttering
Was it lagging in dual window mode or playing a game?
Or was it on a productivity App?
Or was it simple browsing?
Or transitioning from on app to the next?
As I never used dual window, I can't say if it lags there...
Most annoying was the stuttering to me, and this happened nearly everywhere, transitions, scrolling...
But Lg will fix it sooner or later I guess.
As I wrote, the main reason for returning it was the display...

Some people have the G3 lag some don't. I don't notice any lag. From what I read on here the lag is simple fix by changing the launcher and or a setting or two. Removing bloat helps too.
My screen is bight and battery is good enough for me. I guess I was lucky and got a good G3.
As far as the G3 being a "wow" phone it's not but I think those days are over for phones. I was going to wait for the Note 4 but after seeing the leaked pictures I think I'm glad I didn't.
Got the D855 32GB..
All I can say is, I'm so glad i didn't put much attention on others negative opinion about the device...
We all knew it come's with QHD display before buying it, I don't get why too many about it...
As of me, I'm very happy with it... Coming from nexus 7 2013, my criteria for next device was, at least 3gb ram, 32gb internal storage with external (a 64gb internal w/o ext is also okay)... Just saying by the way. =)
There are always those people who have remorse after buying a device by the way..
I've come from an iPhone 4S!:silly:
I bought the International version with 32GB and the 3GB ram (F400S) and I've not found it laggy at all, even with the all the Korean bloatware apps on there.
The main reason I purchased it was because I was so impressed with the LG G2 that I bought for my wife a few months back, just loved the design and screen.
Hopefully when the "Ints" get their bootloader unlocked and we can nandroid backup and get some cool roms (come on PardusHD!) then it should run even smoother.
The battery life isn't as good as I expected, but then I'm usually charging using a USB port (500mAH) so it will take ages and I've hardly ever had it at 100%:laugh: but it's way better than the iPhone 4s battery life.
I'm a little disappointed in the screen, I don't find it as "bright" as the Samsung S ones, I've just taken off the auto brightness as I found it too low, in any light environment and currently set it at 85%.
Overall design is nice and it's very light. I'm not a fan of big screens, but then that's the way they're all heading nowadays....

Sole reason of fast battery discharge
I don't have this phone yet but I know the 32g has 3 gigs of ram and the 16 has 2 gigs. Might be why some suffer lag. Make sure when comparing you specify which version folks

Here's an example of the stutter in games. At 8min 20.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=paMb_cgVkug
I don't have buyer's remorse exactly, but I'm not thrilled with the device in every way. I like the camera a lot better than the one on my HTC One M7, and the G3 battery life is better than my M7. That's really it. My M7 felt snappier in every way, and the screen looked better. Once the Nexus 6 comes out I will likely sell the G3 and pick one up. I just can't stand all this locked bootloader nonsense and the lack of development that occurs as a consequence.

For people/devs who have used Galaxy/iPhones: Scrolling speed/responsiveness

Edit: I'd like it if people who have actually used Samsung Galaxy S series and iPhones phones to reply. That way I'm sure they'll understand what I'm talking about.
I have a G4 but I've been using Samsung phones for a while but I have used some other phones from LG, HTC, Oppo, Sony.
The last phone that I have had before the G4 was a Galaxy S5 (which I gave to my wife).
I really miss the scrolling on the S5, which is like iPhones if I'm not mistaken. Very responsive and quick to react to our touches. I move in the direction that I want and it does its best to follow my finger, while on the G4 it lags behind and takes its time. I had an HTC M9 before the G4 and it is also slow in scrolling and feel like it lags behind. Sure they're all smooth but I don't like how slow it is. I don't feel like I have that much control like I did on the S5.
My Asus touchscreen laptop has a very good touch response as well, same as on the S5 and it's better than on my G4 lol, interesting huh.
I am sure that it is software related and that it comes from Google's stock and bad scrolling behavior. It's not LGs fault.
I am wondering if someone knows of a tweak to improve scrolling?
I am rooted so I can do changes to build.prop.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?

Update to 10n or the newest update for your model. Screen responsiveness is much improved. Smoothest I've seen Android besides vanilla nexus.

Note to all that I am not talking about touchscreen issues. I'm using 10h which fixes touchscreen issues.
This is about scrolling and how sluggish (yet smooth) it is on the g4. I'm looking for a tweak that can make scrolling more responsive, a tweak that makes it follow our finger more and not lag behind.
Anyone?
I just used my wife's S5 again to update it to latest Android for an hour and went back to the G4 and right away noticed how bad the response is on the G4, how sluggish it is. Could it be that the G4 doesn't have a good ms touch response? the speed at which the screens responds to our fingers.

The bad response is all over the phone, not really just browser.
Go in developer setting change the animation duration for all 3 options.
Have you tried another browser?
Other idea :
Root, install a debloated rom, install greenify
After reading the replies here I think no one has actually fully read my OP. This has nothing to do with a browser and I do use greenify.
I'd like it if people who have actually used Samsung Galaxy S series and iPhones phones to reply. That way I'm sure they'll understand what I'm talking about.
I've used Samsung up until the s5 and I currently have an iPhone 6 and a g4 my g4 is much faster and more smooth than the iPhone. I'm running xTreme rom and the superxe kernel with the ctt mod posted in Android development forum the mod made a big difference and the phone no longer gets hot like it did before.
Sent from my LG-H811 using XDA Free mobile app
I am having an S6 (920F), but probably switching to the G4.
TL;DR = the S6 lags on scrolling with the stock ROM (COH2 - 5.1.1) and is very unpleasant to use with Chrome. After rooting and installing a custom ROM/kernel it is much more better now, but it really depends on how much ads are on the site (or how much has to be blocked).
Thanks for your contributions but again it has nothing to do with what I'm looking for..
It's not about how smooth it is, the G4 is smooth but it's about responsive scrolling. It's not about how fast the phone is to open apps or how fast/slow animations are. This thread is about responsive scrolling.
The moment you put your finger on the screen and scroll up or down, how fast it is able to follow your finger. The G4 doesn't do a good job and feels like it's "wobbly". Do it fast, and compare with a Galaxy phone.
It's not lag or stutter.
I know exactly what you are describing and I can tell you side by side right now my g4 is more responsive than my iPhone. Until I put the custom rom\kernel and applied the mod this wasn't the case. My phone responds instantly when scrolling no lag at all when scrolling it is instant for me
Sent from my LG-H811 using XDA Free mobile app
I've owned the S5 before and do not think that is in any way smoother (responsive scrolling!!) in scrolling than the G4 in any part of the phone. Even after debloating the S5 it still was not smoother than my G4 is now.

I can't put a custom rom as I don't have unlocked bootloader. I don't really need a custom ROM anyways as the phone runs great. I just miss that instant scrolling.

Not sure what S5 you had but the S5 I have here is super smooth. It does stutter because touchwiz is heavy but it is really smooth and smoother than the G4 in most apps, probably due to the 1080p screen vs 2k screen.
The scrolling on the S5 is instant and responds to my fingers instantly compared to G4.

Scrolling smoothness

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The Note 7 has the same amount of lag as every Samsung device. It'll never go away. We learn to deal with it, even though it still disappoints me year after year.

Agreed. Not nearly as smooth as my year old Nexus 6P.
You guys are complaining about the qualcomm version.
Over here with an SM-N930F (Exynos) and can't complain. Very smooth scrolling performance.
Deliberately opened a long thread from here on xda using Samsung browser (NOT CHROME) and it scrolls perfect even with music playing in the background while downloading a file.
souds diapointing
I can confirm the choppiness not only with the browser but also the transition when switching between apps. I swear my iphone5s feels better than this brand new flagship from Samsung. I've tried to turn off all the animations and to no avail.

I've got a Tmobile Note 7. Mine seems to often not detect that I've tapped on something, and takes another tap or two to finally register. Other times, it'll be sluggish with scrolling, pulling down the notification shade, opening recent apps, and general on screen animations. The Samsung keyboard is especially bad.
The phone goes through almost no battery when asleep, so it doesn't seem like it would be something keeping the CPU active. This feels like either some sort of over-aggressive governor or some kind of conflict with data transferred to the new phone over Samsung Smart Switch.
I've rebooted multiple times, cleared app cache partition, changed animation scale to 0.5, disabled numerous Samsung bloat apps, nothing has helped. The issue started about a minute after I left the store, so it wasn't caused by any of this troubleshooting. Add this to the heat-up issues and unimpressive battery life when in use, and I am one frustrated dude. My S6 edge+ was leaps and bounds ahead of this thing.

yikes dude, your phone seems to have other problems other than the standard Samsung bs! tbh I haven't noticed stuttering while I've been using mine. Only problems I've had were with my back key, it took some time getting used to the placement and the capacitive touch buttons since I was coming from a phone with on-screen buttons. The only time I feel my phone gets hot is when I'm watching 1080p or higher videos while the phone is charging. You should try backing up important stuff to Google and then doing a full software reset and not use the smart switch stuff. I'll agree that the Samsung keyboard is not great I went back to SwiftKey but the screen size is something I'm still getting used to. I love that you can adjust the long press time to make it shorter on SwiftKey lol. Also Samsung browser is my default now just to test it out and I'm loving the fingerprint sign in thing for accounts and the ad block extension. Only good stuff so far
Exynos Note 7 reporting in - It's plenty fast and smooth so far.
Seems like the Exynos version is smooth while the SD820 is not as smooth.
Yup. Another exynos owner here - this is smoother than my 6P by far.

Said the same thing.
But one way to improve it -
disable as many bloat apps as possible.
Use a different launcher - sense launcher beta has made it much faster.
Use google chrome
My battery life has improved and things are marginally faster. But it is a crying shame that the nexus 6p, the htc 10, the moto z, and even samsung last devices (galaxy s6) are faster than the note 7 in the day to day.
It's ... unnerving

Said the same thing.
But one way to improve it -
disable as many bloat apps as possible.

not as smooth as other phones that I own: LG G5, HUAWEI P9, NEXUS 6P. Kinda disappointed but the screen keeps me from returning it.

Is there a way to get this phone version for Sprint in the US?
I have SM-N930F Exynos - super smooth scrolling and haven't seen any lag whatsoever!
my sm_n930FD lags or stutters on wen scrolls and some times on typing fast on apps like what's app. FD is exynos version

Can you please also state which variant of the note 7 you have rather than just say it's not smooth.
Thanks
