Snapchat running ridiculously slow? - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I've looked online and on XDA for stuff to fix this, but nothing's working
Snapchat is running super slow on my phone no matter what, everything else is snappy but snapchat lags hardcore, whether it's opening snaps, taking a picture, or typing
I've wiped cache a lot, I'm running Viper10 2.7.0 w/ cleanslate kernel, xposed & busybox installed
What do?
I appreciate any and all help I can get

Me too
I am having the same issue

Having same issues as well. Seems like it's worst when it's loading new stories so turning on travel mode helped somewhat. Just has usual snapchat lag now.

It's the same for me also. It's been crap since I first got my 10, especially when recording videos. I thought it would have been sorted out by now but I guess that's not happening

[Q] Videos won't play without a restart

Hey guys,
So just a little background: Running PA 2.53 on Trinity 63
The problem: Sometimes I'll try and play a video, on youtube, locally, basically anywhere and the phone just won't. It'll sit there loading then when I hit back the app FCs. A restart will fix the issue until I run into it again, at which point I have to reboot again.
Extra: This isn't exclusive to my configuration. I've had the same issue since I got the phone (before root and rom). The issue persisted on PA with the included kernel as it does with the Trinity kernel. I like PA though and would like to stick with that. I don't know if this is related, but when this happens my face unlock also stops working (loads for a second then flips to the pattern grid)
So, folks, has anyone heard of anything like this? I don't think it's a hardware issue since a restart usually clears it up, but it's really frustrating (and embarassing when I want to show someone a video I literally just took) Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I had the same issue. Uninstalling VLC beta solved it. I don't know if you have a third app video player installed, but you might want to try that.

Only QuickPic. I just uninstalled it now and am seeing if it makes any difference, doubt it will since it's not a video player with its own codecs like VLC.
Bump, other opinions?
I have found a similar issue on another site that outlines the exact problem I'm having, seems many are having them since Jelly Bean. Factory Resets don't help.

Nexus 7 2013 Becoming Slow.

Hey,
I got my N7, 16GB WiFi, 1½ month(s) ago, and it was amazing. I was playing games, like Modern Combat 4, at a super smooth frame rate, I was browsing the web at amazings FPS's, just the general UI was so fluid.
The day I got it, I unlocked, flashed a recovery and rooted. I play the game I mentioned above, MC4, a lot and am quite good at it. I though that it would be a good idea to record what I was doing and show the world! (www.youtube.com/user/StealthGamingAndroid if you want to see)
The game was smooth before, just playing, and was still smooth after. What impressed me was that even while recording, it felt like I still had amazing frames.
About a week or so ago, that stopped. I was getting lag, the game was jittery and making the whole thing unplayable, even when not recording. But it wasn't just the game. The whole UI felt, even though it wasn't terrible, sluggish.
I didn't/haven't changed my setup, regarding ROM, Kernel or Processor Speeds since the day I got it. It is running the version of 4.3 it came with out of the box. (My choosing to keep it on that and not update)
The only things I have done regarding root have been using SCR Pro, the recording software, and using Xposed and Gravitybox.
I do not know what is causing this sudden lag, and how I can fix it. A brief search on Google didn't turn up anything that I could relate to. So I present to you my question.
How do I fix this lag?
I do not mind if it means using root, flashing a new ROM or even a new kernel. (Never flashed a different kernel on all 4 of my devices) Over clocking I also haven't done, but if it means removing the lag, I will consider it.
I am extremely grateful for what ever solutions or suggestions you give me, and will happily look into them.
Thank you for your time reading this, and for helping a confused user out.
Faithfully,
-R
Boot into recovery, clear you caches, boot normally, see if that fixed it, if not...boot into safe mode and see if the problem persists, if that fixed it, it's one or more of your apps, you'll have to either flash to stock and reinstall one at a time, when it starts lagging again you've found the app, or remove one at a time and see when it stops, if the problem still occurs in safe mode, backup and flash back to stock and see if it persist, if it does, maybe it's hardware.

That has fixed some of it, but it still feels choppy. (The wiping of the caches, I mean)

I use an app called Clean Maste. You can get it in the Play Store. It's basically like CC Cleaner on the computer (if you don't have it, get it!). Just clear all the stuff in the junk option EXCEPT obsolete APKs. If you know what you're doing, cleaning in Junk Advanced can help too.
Also, be sure to delete all the apps you don't need, and clear your multitasking often.
For a big performance boost. you can overclock your tablet. First, tell us if the other things work above. If not, PM me and I'll be glad to teach you to overclock

Did you try uninstalling Xposed?
When my tablet lags a little, I usually turn it completely off for a couple minutes. This helps me quite a bit.
This may sound dumb or crazy but you got to remember that it's a computer and turning it off once or twice a week will clear the cobwebs.

Totally agree.

Not impressed with lag

I'm not sure what is causing lag, but my Note 4 had enough of it to be concerned.
Sending SMS and messages via hangouts is brutally slow, just as scrolling through Google Now and within the eBay application.
I have a little bit of stutter in touchwiz, but that isn't near as bad as the app stutter. Wondering if this is something to be concerned with.
only reports of lag I have seen are @

I have not seen any myself, this thing powers through anything I have done so far.

Same here, my phone runs butter smooth with animations set at .5 and forcing GPU rendering. Gotta love that Adreno 420
OP might have a bad device. Try replacing it to see if that fixes the problem. Very few people have reported lag and it seems to be no more then any other device.

I want to point out that I had the same issues you mentioned. I went ahead and performed a factory reset since I just got the phone and I hadn't done much to it. It solved my problem and I'm not getting any more app stutter from sending messages through hangouts.
It happens, man. Initial setup of the phone could go wrong, especially when you load on a ton of apps at once. Might not have been your fault; it could've been the devil that loaded all that carrier bloatware on it.
No lag here either, I've been running a media converter on it 24 hours a day for the past few days to change a lot of my formats to mp4s from mkvs and even with that running in the background, with encoding being one of the more CPU processing hungry things you can do, I can play GTA:SA on it without issues.
I was actually lagging pretty bad past 2 days. I enabled ART and let it go for a day thinking it would get better. I restarted it the second day hoping it would help. Finally disabled it an hour ago and its working as expected... Guess there is no real point. I'll just hope we get 5.0 before the years over.

It was good for me before, but wowee. Thank you for the tip.
I feel the power!! So much of a difference that makes
Yeah buttery smooth here. I've disabled all the ATT apps via managing applications and ALWAYS use Rechild Task Killer - by far one of the best app killers I have used over the years since Tmobile G1, Note 1, Note 2, Note 3, and now Note 4. It helps despite what anyone may think.
Also, as other have mentioned, tap your build number 7 times to enable Developer Options Menu in Settings - General. From there, you can disable animation transitions - I always set all mine to 0/No animation because I don't need animations and that speeds things up a lot.
All my texts/MMS are fast along with browsing and internet - HUGE difference compared to the Note 3 (everyone was right- that phone had the worst WIFI imaginable - I was rooted and had the same setup as I do now on the Note 4). I have my MOTO 360 connected with bluetooth always on. I use Textra as my main sms/mms app. I'm really happy - battery life is excellent compared to my Note 3 because Android Wear eats a lot. I also have 1W weather widget on refreshing every hour. I have location on power saving mode so only Data and Wifi pinpoint my location instead of GPS (this is just common sense - GPS kills your battery so don't choose the TOP high performance option).

Wow, what a huge difference. Thanks!
thats odd because I dont get any lag. The only thing I noticed is once in a while, when opening Hangouts, the GUI gets stuck at a blank screen and I have to back out and enter in again. The other issue I noticed, which doesnt happen often, is that the network gets stuck in a certain speed (i.e. 4G or whatever), when I know I should be getting LTE service. If I toggle airplane mode, it switches to LTE and works flawlessly after that. Its almost as if the modem has a hard time switching networks.
Well, it looks like my Hangout lags is back after I got a ton of auto updates today. I probably shouldn't have left auto-update enabled. There's probably an incompatibility with one of the apps so I'm going to hunt it down. Other than that, the rest of the phone is quite smooth.

UPDATE: The problem is clearly the hangouts update itself. I uninstalled the update and disabled automatic updates. It's running smoothly again.
So the problem with hangouts appears to be the most recent update. Uninstall it and you'll run off of the stock version that shipped with the device. until they've fixed the problems.
The problematic build is 2.4.78234730 (Oct 22, 2014).

And no problems with sending messages?
I've cycled installing and uninstalling it a few times to verify that it was indeed the problematic version for me. It could very well be an incompatibility issue still, but I'm not experiencing problems with other apps... aside from Instagram being awfully choppy when cropping photos for upload.

touchwiz always lags. the lg g3 has significant lag to.
I did a factory wipe, disabled all the bloatware i could, forced gpu rendering and changed animations to 0.5x and honestly, it ive been good to go. i did all this to my dads note 4 this morning as well but he said he hadnt experienced any issues yet with everything kept stock

GPU rendering is pointless. I tested the other day. The speed was exactly the same for opening and closing apps, etc. The drawback, if you have flash video enabled and watch any video, shows, movies, etc. - it will be laggy/choppy with this option enabled.
Might need a master reset. I just purchased this phone yesterday. The first phone they gave me reset itself almost 30 times on its own despite me master resetting like 5 times. After the second master reset I didn't load any apps and the issue still persisted. Went back and had them give me a new one. All is well now.

might have spoken too soon. Hangouts works fine after the latest update but i do notice a second or two lag when trying to open the keyboard or open a chat. Its not enough to really complain but it is noticeable.
Noob quesion.. Can someone please direct me to where I go to force GPU rendering on the Note 4? I can't find then setting anywhere. I've been out of the Android game for a while so I greatly appreciate the help. Really like this phone, but the lag on even simple tasks like Facebook scrolling is leaving much to be desired.
(Disregard finally found out how to enable Dev Options.. Man I got a lot of catching up to do.)

Snapchat lag on the 5X

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you have had any lag with Snapchat on the 5X. I have had problems with Snapchat from since I got the phone at launch, updated the app a few times and I have the current version. Half of the time it works smoothly, and half the time it is a mess, laggy and freezing when swiping between the camera/stories/etc. It's worst when I have FB Messenger chat heads on. It also makes the whole phone lag even when it's in recent apps but not open.
I have a 32GB version (I doubt this makes any difference), rooted with TWRP but no real modifications. Is this a marshmallow issue? I've never had this problem in the past on 5.1.1 and prior (Nexus 5, Oneplus One, Moto G, Xperia Z3C among others).
Thanks all.
I'm with you dude. The Nexus 4 had a camera hardware defect that would freeze the phone once every few pictures. I will be furious if SnapChat come up with a "GOOGLE'S FAULT NEXUS 5X HARDWARE PROBLEM" excuse again.
Exactly the same issue as me. I use snapchat almost every day and its a ridiculous mess. My sister has a Moto G 3rd Gen with 2GB of RAM and it is so smooth. So I don't understand why it hasn't been optimized for the 5X yet, no reason for all this lag! Several times its locked up my phone and won't exit to the home screen.

I still have my Xperia Z3 Compact and I have no issues with it. It's ridiculous. No other app gives me problems.
I thought I had some issues but I noticed the same thing in Stock and Chroma using ElementalX. I notice the IO usage in my system monitor hits nearly 100 MB/s for 3-4 seconds while the phone locks up.
Same. I am part of the beta and posted bug reports about lag and freezes on the 5X and 6P (idk if the 6P has the issue). I doubt it will do anything, but doesn't hurt to let out my frustration
I have the same issue. Hope this is something a Snapchat update can fix
Same problem with my 32GB version N5X, not only thirdparty apps, but also the Google camera app. I don't want to use the camera any more and I miss my Nexus5 with marshmallow which works so smoothly.

I'm in the same boat. Rebooting fixes it temporarily. It's a pain in the ass.
same problem with snapchat freezing and being incredibly slow while my 2013 n5 was always buttery smooth. also have other weird camera ****, like vivino capturing pictures upside down and ****. really really irritating and basically my only problem with the n5x
Just got the 9.19.1.0 Beta and it seems to be working better. I'll need to give it a couple hours to see if the usual lag kicks in.

Seemed like a lot of people are having the lag issue with N5X camera. Google should fix this problem, otherwise I want to get a refund.
Google camera lags not only within the app itself but also slows down the Android system.
I have already contacted google to get a replacement. Hopefully the new phone doesn't have camera issue.

Does that mean this is a hardware issue which cannot be fixed by new FW? Bad news for me, I'm in PRC and I bought my n5x through an unusual way, it's almost impossible to do RMA.[emoji24]

I hear you all. Same problem with Snapchat here.

Disabling access to the camera actually fixes it. But then again..

me too i have the same issue laggy and freezing since i bought the phone and when they download the update 6.0.1 the problem still the same I don't know why still and sometimes the camera app laggy I hope is anyone can help us with issue really I felt bored from the phone
So I am a power snapchat user and had this same problem and might have accidentally stumbled on a possible solution after having a login failure. I enabled the travel mode so it's not downloading constantly. I installed snapprefs and I can't explain why but it's flying now. No lag on window switching or opening the camera. I'm on 6.0.1 December rooted
I'm on 6.0.1 and Snapchat version 9.20.5 with Snapprefs installed.. the app is almost unusable.
It's definitely app-side issues because I too suffered from terrible lag and stuttering on Snapchat only for a long, long time but then a few updates seemed to fix it. Now it's back to being bad again with MM 6.0.1...... hopefully they will fix it soon
any issues with snapchat still?

Still issues.
In general my 5X seems to lag when the camera is in use
I was having these major snapchat issues while on stock and while on some of sonicron's tweaks to the ElementalX kernel, however snapchat has been purring along ever since I went to the PureNexus ROM (includes it's own kernel, not sure if there is anything special about it). Used snapchat all weekend during my partying and not one issue with no reboots required.

Performance drops after updated to Android 8

Hi,
I've been here for a while now but this is my first post ever.
I'm having a really weird issue: when i first bought the phone, it works flawlessly and there was nothing to complain about. However after updated to Android 8, the phone's performance drops noticeably. Applications like Facebook or Instagram always freeze after a few minutes surfing (the lag will last for a few seconds and come back to normal, and after a while it's lag again).
Even in a low-end game like The Walking Dead Season 1, sometimes the FPS drops dramatically. Never happened in Android 7 before.
I tried reset the phone, clear cache and data and stuff like that but it just doesn't work.
Switching to Lineage OS is a good option, the performance there is really fast. But the gamepad and the camera don't work stably to i switched back.
Can someone help me?
The phone is not rooted or anything like that btw.
Thanks.
Perfectly fine here, try factory-resetting your smartphone.
No problem here.
Try full format your phone using recovery.
I'm starting to see big issues with response lag (especially when typing). Anyone have a solution for this issue? I have Oreo factory on my Z2.
Thanks,
smithmal
