Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same issue as I am. I've been playing a lot of pokémon go lately and tho sometimes the game runs really smooth, most of the time it looks like the phone is struggling with it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? It's really annoying specially when scrolling through the pokémon and when trying to throw balls. This should not happen with this device, the game is not that heavy!

It's a server problem, if you open the game or play it in the middle of the night it works flawlessly.

I have been using CM13 for nearly the entire time I've had my G4, and I thought I'd try the latest Stock ROM to see if the battery life was better (game optimizer, etc.) and I experienced the exact same thing. Lagging down to 2-3fps when trying to catch a pokemon sometimes, other times absolutely fine.
I hadn't experienced any of this lag on CM13 and I have played everyday since release. Server lag in this game is entirely different, click on pokemon and they don't work, gyms don't work, 1hp gym bug etc. and I've seen it all, this is something fundementally wrong with the way the stock firmware plays the game. I went back to CM13 immediately and haven't seen it in the past 4 days of playing, so if you do have a model you can unlock the bootloader of I would strongly suggest giving CM13 a go.

The problem is I'm not sure I'm ever going to get bootloop and the phone is new, I would lose my warranty. I don't really think it is an option. Plus I really didn't want to lose the stock camera. Let's see if someone comes up with a better solution

How's the battery on CM13?
I can play PokemonGO for 2-2:30 hours non stop until the battery dies.
Otherwise I get around 4 hours SoT.

About the same to be honest. I saw no real difference other than the lag on stock firmware. The only thing that makes it a little better for it IMO is that CM13 has caffeine which is a toggle to stop your screen lock, so you don't have to set awkwardly long timeouts and such.
Yeah Pokemon go stutters a lot too on my LG G4 when there are a lot of poke stops around including lures.
i don't think it's the processing limitation. if CM13 can run smoothly, my only guess is the horrible RAM management on stock ROM. but that's my guess. mine shows over 1 GB of RAM usage on my phone.
20i software version was horrible but T-mobile (USA) recently updated to 20o and worked much better. not as smooth as CM13 but better. doesn't really get hot either. I'm not on CM because for some reasons youtube won't play on HD. SD plays fine but streaming HD or 60fps video stops but audio continues. otherwise I'd go with CM13 to enjoy game little better.
I just flashed this ROM and the game seems so much better. I still have to do more testing but it seems to run smoothly.

Well at least their is two of us with the exact same problem, i have already tried the button thing, still no luck!
I have come to a conclusion that its nothing to do with the firmware, it could be 6.0 in general? 5.1 worked fine...
It could be something to do with RAM management being horrible on MM idk?
Ill keep you updated, ill keep looking until i find a fix!
Have you tested any other games? i tried a game called Pixel Gun 3D, which is CPU intensive and it worked fine, it has to be Pokemon GO....:good:

So I recently purchased a bargain priced g pad here in the UK. I am currently an Ipad air owner(boooo) but wanted to get an Android tablet and this seemed like my best option. But I have to say that I am really disappointed as it it laggy as hell and the battery life is pretty poor.
Is this normal or am I the proud owner of a dud? The lag occurs in stock launcher and apex. It also happens in browsers, namely chrome, Uc and dolphin. It even lags when browsing threads on tapatalk.
I have factory reset it and no joy. I am outside the 7 day return period and so kind of need to fix the issue if poss.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be given

I find my g pad smooth as well and no issues. Very happy with speed. Now my galaxy s3 phone, that is laggy and looking forward to next upgrade
Im pretty surprised with how much people are getting lags.. even with stck unrooted out of the box i dont get these lags.. although i knew it can perform better.. for the people with lags try rooting and installing the malladus custom rom.. suped up stock rom with most of the lg software in tact..... as stated in that forum the way the stock rom should run.......... much smoother when running anything and everything...... try it out..
Ran pretty smooth stock

I've also observed some stuttering while using my V500 (especially scrolling webpages).
The best way to test this is to choose image from gallery, zoom in and drag it around furiously
Sometimes its smooth and works as supposed to, but most of the times after a second or two it stops responding to finger movements.
No idea what to do. I like LG stock rom, but this is a deal-breaker for me
I have experienced really bad lag playing jetpack joyride. Anyone else experience this? Running stock.

add the task manager widget, how much Free RAM is there when it lags?
I'm usually at 600-730 free RAM and the only time it lags is when closing out a game and quickly launching email or Chrome app from home screen.

Is there any other app that lets one fix the black levels? The G Pad without any fixing of the black levels isn't that great for watching shows, movies or playing games where details often can be found in the darker areas. And trading better black levels for more lag (or having to use the Performance governor isn't great). I even noticed watching shows with Screen Adjuster made the FPS a bit jittery (like it's missing frames here and there).

That is not a lag, that is either defective digitiser or drivers within software. Ive got exactly the same issue on mine, suddenly it just stops responding when dragging my finger across the screen like it was not touched.

New one is definitely working better, however it still feels like it misses touches every once in a while. That could be a software issue though, it was with my Nexus 7 2013.

I just had digitizer replaced by LG service center. New one works great, no problems at all. So it was a hardware issue after all, like michal_alton suggested.
I tried many tweaks found in the forum to reduce lag, lower heat but my G4 still keeps crashing while playing 3D games. Is it hardware problem, lollipop 5.1 problem or I got a defect phone? Am I the only one experience this?

Crash happens on playing for 5 to 10 mins, becoz cpu or gpu get too hot? I'm not sure...
@kelvinick, Not for me. It's always crashes right away.
On loading a game I noticed the phone immediately starts logging something having to do with the "thermal engine", changes the "wlchg_monitor" alarm to 42c, and the "LCD_management" alarm to 44c.

Hey fellas!
Just got a new G4 to replace my Nexus 5, and I'm encountering some heavily disappointing performance issues like:
poor 3D performance - games like Boom Beach and Smash Hit run just... bad. mediocre/low fps gaming, where my Nexus 5 did perfectly fine!
2D performance (UI) - sometimes laggy UI transitions, typing really quick with SwiftKey keyboard is impossible, it's like the phone can't keep up with what I'm clicking fast, feels majorly laggy.
Anything I'm missing? and low performance/battery saving settings I'm missing? what's happening... oO

There's an option somewhere to lower graphics in games to save battery...its on by default...at least on h811 it is...also in dev options changing all animations to .5 or off fixes any laggy experience
Thanks, seems to help a bit, but it's right on the fine line between actually helping and just a placebo.
I mean, some really visually simple games (Smash Hit) shouldn't run with such low fps, especially not when considering the Nexus 5 ran it perfect.
What about the rest of the UI?
I suspect that some of the problems I'm having with SwiftKey are software related (might not be optimized for G4 yet?), since I'm noticing some other unrelated performance bugs in it; emailed that to them.
I got H815L myself and it's pretty good.
What's your Antutu score?
Personal experience with Swiftkey is it isn't optimised very well at all and only runs properly with a handfull of phones if at all. I gave up on it a long time ago.
As for UI performance, I haven't noticed any lag yet. Games run great too.
I would point the finger at the Apps you're using and make sure you've updated the software on the phone to the latest version.
The nexus phones feel less laggy because the transition animations are so slooooow just like on iphones, and it's just there to hide any lag as it takes so long to open and close the apps.
You'll get used to G4 I have no doubt

I got 49081 on Antutu, and I'm running v10H and all my apps are updated.
I do suspect it's the keyboard app itself messing around with me, because I see several more bugs except for the weird latency.
And just for comparison, the game Smash Hit (on HIGH set on graphics) runs choppy with a Nexus 5 running it perfectly.
I know and understand Android, but why do I need to get a new $500+ phone with new hardware only to find out my 2 years older phone is more "optimized"?

Weird that you got 50k+ on antutu, most of the reviews I Google's were about 41k+.
How can I check what's choking the device?
I have nothing special installed; opened the box, turned the phone on, updated the latest OTA and then all my apps - games and some other stuff but nothing heavy that I didn't have on my N5...
Maybe I'll try to factory reset the phone some day next week and see the results.

Download a wakelock detector or something to see whats stayin active that isn't necessary...also are you rooted...if not you may want to do that...it will allow you to freeze and remove unnecessary and memory hogging apps and will give you a boost...i got rid of a lot of those day 1 and have had a great experience with my g4...we shouldn't have to do this to get the best out of this device but its the way android has gone...also with root you can try ctt mod and other performance boosters to really get the best experience...you can also get better battery life without the extra junk processes running in the back...there are many threads to teach you what can be done with the g4

Yeah, I pretty much know most of the basics of all the advanced tweaking, but since I have H815L the bootloader is locked, so rooting it is a bit pain in the ass.
Someday next week I'll just factory reset it and check again.
Thanks bud!
well ok.
Just did a factory reset and... Nothing.
So friggin disappointing, im completely clueless now.
right when the phone started up (completely blank after reset), downloaded and installed Boom Beach and Smash Hit, and the performance was still bad. Im so annoyed.
What the hell should i do? Why is my BRAND NEW phone is having poor 3D performance?

Root it and bump up lower clock speed on big/little cores with kernel audiutor...it will reduce lag and actually save battery as small processes cause it to jump around a lot on factory settings...short of doing this idk...

Actually i just checked 3 different reviews and the avg antutue score for the G4 is 49k. if you run antutu back to back 3-4 times it will drop to 44k. If it wont rise above 45k then it indicates a heating device with throttling.
How can I check what's choking the device?
I have nothing special installed; opened the box, turned the phone on, updated the latest OTA and then all my apps - games and some other stuff but nothing heavy that I didn't have on my N5...
Maybe I'll try to factory reset the phone some day next week and see the results.

How is your battery life in general sot/run time ?
can you try playing your games in a low light environment. So your brightness will be much lower. Do you notice any difference ?
I've had the phone for a total of about 4 days now, SOT seems about 3-4 hours, better than my N5 so I'm happy so far.
Tried gaming with low light / cold environments, doesn't seem to change anything.
Not sure about the throttling, due to the fact that the device is actually pretty cold... not sensing any extreme heat (my N5 was way hotter).
After that factory reset I get about 48k on Antutu, and I actually tried two different "heavy" games (NOVA3 and Asphalt 8) and they run OK...
I genuinely have no idea what's the problem, so instead of rooting and tweaking stuff that seem to not have to be tweaked for others, I'll just wait till I get back home and compare the gaming performance with friends' devices.
If something goes wrong - warranty it is.
Man, I feel you! Been dealing with laggy UI and cursing my choice of purchase since day one. Anyways..
For games - have you disabled 'Game Optimzer' option from 'Battery & Power Saving'?
For laggy UI - Swiftkey is laggy as ****. So try Fleksy, it's a LOT smoother, I barely notice any lag (although it does hiccup once in a while...). As for general performance, you have to accept that some animations will be choppy - that's just how LG UI works, there is no work around. For me the phone was chugging a lot before I uninstalled Inbox by Gmail, after that the phone regained it's speed and it's pretty damn smooth now. It still stutters here and there but ...what to do. Also try delobating it and removing any unnecessary apps and services (you don't need to root for this).
OK so some updates.
Rooted the phone, debloated the s**t out of it, even managed to got to 5h 2m screen-on time with that lol.
Tried to tweak lots of other things as wellwell, got me some great bootloops in the process. eventually I practically totally wiped the system and flashed a 100% clean one.
Smash hit (on High setting in graphics) and Boom Beach still work a bit choppy.
NOVA3 seems to work ok.
AnTuTu is about 50.5k.
I seriously can't figure out what's the problem.
the 2d phone UI seems almost perfect, and the benchmark score seems OK.
What the hell could be wrong?
Is there any more testing (games/benchmarks/logs) I could do to try and figure this out?
It's going to take me another week till I go back to my country to check with a different H815L. Asked a friend with the US model, she claims Smash Hit works flawlessly fluid. can't understand that.
I find it funny, the fact that I might ask for an under-under-warrenty device replacement just because couple of games run bad.
Hoping the XDA gods would help me in some way, before heading the noob warranty-for-nothing route.
Thanks!

Dude i has the g4 H815L and it is works fine but maybe it becouse the root.
I has the device for few months with stock version of lg and my g4 works very good and when i play games like Goat Simulator he got hot if not very hot but if your device don't get hot becouse of games so for sure you won't get high preformance.
Plus my bettery works fine and my phone can work perfectly and smothly with smart watch and survive one day with out any problames.

Every CPU (SoC) is unique. Remember, even two identical CPUs can deliver different benchmark results, thus have different real world performance. Unless there's a software issue you haven't found out about yet, it's also likely that you just got a bad one.

Don't even hesitate. You paid for it hard earned money under the condition that it works as stated and advertised by LG. Now, as you told us, it does not. See my point?
I am thinking about getting this phone. But I hear that this phone is very poor at multitasking, aggressively killing and refreshing apps between switches. I also see that it's got improved after the Nougat update. I like to have multiple apps alive in the background, and it would be a deal breaker for me if it hasn't been fixed. Can anyone comment on this? I'll root the device, so it would be nice if you have rooted Nougat on it. Thanks in advance!

Multitasking 4 or 5 apps doesn't seem to be an issue.
Rooted but not running the stock firmware, running aosip.
Every phone has it weakness.
Runs circles around my Nexus 6

I know that all phones have their own weakness. The two biggest problems of the phone I'm using are short battery life and bad ram management (app refresh). These bug me literally everyday, and I would like to buy a phone that do not have these problems. Moto Z Play seems to have a good battery life, but I hear bad things about multitasking, and I wanted to hear experiences on what it is like after the recent Nougat update.
Well from my experience so far having nougat for a week is it appears that ram management is better, but the only app that seems to get kicked is Play Music and YouTube.

Thanks for letting me know that. Does the phone go back to previous 5-6 apps after switching without refreshing except for the two apps? I'm seriously considering this phone, and I hope that the phone doesn't have the issue.
So far, yes. I don't use very ram heavy apps. I'm pretty happy with the performance of the device for my usage

I have used my zenfone 2 with 4 gigs of ram for a year and a bit, and it has been blazing fast! Recently, games have become unbearably laggy with long pauses. I have tried using marshmallow, nougat (Lineage os), i have done multiple things that should be good enough to get rid of a software bug, but still games run choppy. Im thinking its a hardware problem but i would really like someone to clarify it for me. i really want the speed back :crying:. However, the phone is still laggy within menus of the os, so dont blame it on some game porting bs.

I believe temperature of environment may affect the performance. Try to use the phone in cool places.
Maybe it is the fault of an app you've installed?

I use my phone indoors in England, so it's usually 15 - 22°c not that hot
