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.

I use habit browser and it has native adblock
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'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.

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.

Overall speed

Would you say that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

There is noticeable lag due to all of the features you are getting with Touchwiz but otherwise the phone is really fast when restarting and loading apps.

Coming from a note 4 this feels much faster, using apex launcher though I didn't even use touchwiz it copied apex from my note 4 and it just worked.

To properly answer that question I would need to give you comparison devices. Since I don't have a Note 7 I can only tell you how my S7 compares. Not going to sugarcoat it but my iPhone 6S feels much smoother with less hang ups. And even comparing it to my Nexus 6 with Android N beta that 2 year old phone feels like it's running more fluid. It may not be faster in benchmarks but it's the fluidity I'm referring to. But my tiny iPhone SE takes the speed crown. It's running the same processor as its bigger brother but it's pushing less pixels. If it wasn't for the silly iOS animations the speed would be a dream come true.
And that's the big issue I have. If I wasn't such a phone whore on different platforms with the Note 7 being my only device I would tell you that the phone is the quickest. Feature and design wise the Note 7 will be number one for a long time but if you want speed over features the Note 7 is not it. That's between the upcoming 1080p Nexus and iPhones. Those are going to be the fastest devices in real world use.
But maybe dropping the Note 7 resolution down to 1080p could have a huge impact. I did that on my Nexus 6 with no visible impact to screen quality.

Same here but using Nova. Heres how mine compared.

Some apps reload more than I would like and there are stutters in the animations every now and then.
But overall performance is very good.

How does the Note 7 compare to the S7 Edge? I have the Note 4 and the S7 Edge and was thinking about selling my S7E and getting a Note 7. I tend to use my Note 4 more than my S7E due to root and Xposed and the far superior sound output. I just really want a waterproof Note.

the note 7 is definitely slower and less smooth than the oneplus 3. it's not a dealbreaker, but it's something that can't be ignored considering the laggier/slower phone cost literally twice as much as the smoother one. one example is searching within settings or app tray. on my oneplus 3, or huawei p9, or xiami mi 5, results load in real time as i type each alphabet. on the note7? i can finish typing the entire word and then is till have to wait a second or two before results load (especially noticeable when searching in settings). when you tap "recent apps" button on the OP3, everything zips up. on the note 7, it's visibly slower there too.

Less smoother in gaming even compared to the S7 or the P9 Plus

I love how everybody complains how the device is "slow" or "laggy" compared to "insert this years flagship with the same specs here" like, you can't expect a smartphone to double its specs and its performance every 6 month, I certainly don't.
Previously I had an LG G3 which was a great device with a large development community, but it's touchscreen broke.
Currently I'm using an LG G2 mini since april, patiently waiting for the arrival of the note7.
I can understand the people who change as smartphone every year or even every six month, the reason is mainly "because I can".
I wouldn't switch a smartphone unless it was completely unusable including incredibly outdated.
I think your lack of satisfaction with the phone aspects and the price comes from lack of proper comparison.
It's like the difference between driving a Maserati and switching to a Lamborghini
But if you were driving in a 2010 Toyota... the Lamborghini upgrade is going to feel absolutely insane
For me the phone is probably going to feel literally like a Lamborghini, comparing to my LG G2 mini.

The issue Samsung is that I feel they don't pay much attention to detail when it comes to their software. They are def getting alot better at it. But alot of times people equate super high specs with better software smoothness or compatibility, which is not the case! That's why the older model iPhones are many times faster then the brand new Galaxy. If Samsung invests a little more time in their software department and make their phone run as smooth as the Nexus phones they will reign supreme and quickly dethrone Apple.

That's really sad. I have note 5 for 10 months now and it hasn't shown any signs of old phone. Yes sometimes it lags... though I don't remember the last time it lagged.
Maybe the exynos variant is better than snapdragon...

The weird thing with the the Note 7 is that the laggyness is not constant. Sometimes I feel the phone is hyper fast while other times there is a noticeable lag. For example, when you restart your phone it takes a few minutes for the phone to work properly and stop lagging like crazy. Also I noticed that if I don't use the phone for a few hours when I first start using it, it's a little sluggish and slow. However, if I'm using it consistently it tends to get rid of lag and perform faster. It must be a software of system issue that Samsung can probably fix with an update.

I noticed that at times too. Seems to have to wake up. Then fine. I would be willing to bet we see some updates soon. Look we all know Samsung wanted to release before apple. Maybe the software wasn't quite ready. It happens. Overall phone has been fine.

No sign of lag on mine the phones butter smooth.

Relatively fast, though it's not noticeably faster than my Note 4.

Note 7 is better

which launcher make my sammy super responsive

I found playing with the S7 ( still do not own a Note 7, will arrive next week, but S7 has the same processor) that is not responsive as I would have imagined. ( Exynos, european version).
My question is how much I can improve in percentage point the performance of my telephone installing a lighter than touchwiz new launcher?
As I am not rooting the phone, will Touchwiz continue to take a consistent amount of RAM and processor power for background services?:laugh:

Nothing wrong with touchwiz now phones snappy as it should be
Try turning off animations in developer options.
If you have s7 then why don't you try various other launchers and do your own research instead of being lazy!!!!

It is not mine the S7( also I should be quite rich to update from S7 to note7 ), I just played a bit. AFAIK in the video Samsung did a great job this year with Touchwiz, no doubt about that. Still I am curious to know which improvement I can have running a benchmark test with or without a light launcher.Possibly somebody did it.

I use nova launcher prime at the moment and intend on installing it on my note 7 when it arrives. It runs nice and quickly on my Xperia z3 so I imagined the note 7 will run very nicely with all the horsepower it offers!
Nova launcher can also be customised heavily allowing me to get my phone looking and operating just how I want it to.

nova is a very good launcher, I have used it since 5 phones ago, the best in my opinion

Nova launcher works great on N7 so far. First thing I download when I get a new phone

I like the Google Now launcher. But if you use it, beware not to turn on its listen-via-BT setting, as described at the end of this thread:

You're either blind or a liar.
Every Samsung phone still lags and drops frames. My Nexus 6P from last year, and every other flagship phone I've had this year, are basically lag and stutter free. Samsung packs too much crap onto their phones and gets away with it every year just like the article here on XDA pointed out. Turning off animations is not a good solution, if any solution at all. The lag is still going to be there, you just won't see it as easily.
If you want your phone to be faster, ditch the Samsung launcher for starters. I too highly recommend Nova. Also, buy one of the Package Disabler apps and turn off the junk you don't use. I still have a fairly feature rich Note7, but turned off crap I'll never use like the Edge screen, Samsung's launcher, and some built-in Samsung apps. The phone is pretty quick, especially since the last update, but there are still times where it stutters. Welcome to the world of Samsung. The only reason I accept it and deal with it is because they have the best camera, display, build, and features of all the flagships this year. But I prefer the software experience of my Nexus all day, every day.

I use htc sense beta. Perfectly fine for me actually

I fully agree that samsung are amazing pieces of hardware, and furthermore they do not take Coltan from Congo mines:laugh:
On the other side i hate bloatware, but would like to have an easy feature to back up all the disabled packages from package disabler
( i am guessing you mean this ), because i need to run developer tests, and I am wondering how to update to the new android version if I have the bloatware deactivated!
my questions in order of importance for you and others are
1) Do package disabler support a backup?TIf so takes time to back up to the original settings, as it is a function I could do quite often. Also could be that is not tested for Samsung Note 7.(EDIT: I saw it supports backup from the video)
2) Nova will disable also the following cool functions? the security folder, the edge function and smaller screen to use with one hand? If so I prefer touchwiz, differently by you I am an edge fan

There are a couple general rules that apply across android with any launcher...
Get enough stuff running in the background and it will hurt your phones performance. The saying with PCs way back was, "If you don't use it, lose it". It still applies today and is applicable to phones and tablets as well. An application you don't use running in the background is at best dead weight and at worst could be costing you resources. Get rid of whatever constitutes bloat for you.
Lots of screens populated with lots of widgets is going to cost you on any launcher.
Beware of applications and widgets which are just plain using too many resources in and of themselves and those which were working fine by themselves but conflict with others when used together.
IMO Nova is a good choice for a lot of people, I use AL3 which is a bit different and works better with the way I like to lay out my phone. You can also try one of the contextual launchers and see if you like those, they don't work well for me because my schedule is too random and I travel for work but those I tried seemed to be light on resource usage.

Anyone here upgraded from Samsung S7 / Edge / Note 7

What's your experience so far with the Pixel XL?
I'm considering the Pixel XL but looks like there're a lot to lose in term of features (QI chargin, edge, compact body, SPay,...). I flashed mine S7e with the Unlocked U firmware so the bloatware is minimal and I'm getting >7hrs SOT. Is it worth it to switch?

Takes a little getting used to at first, I had the note 7, I will say this thing is a beast and doesn't lag like my note 7 did, also getting better battery with the same usage.

The carrier's junks are bad. Since switched to the unlock firmware, my S7e feels like a different phone. No lag, run cooler, better battery life...

I came from the S7 (regular) and I've not looked back.
Love the bigger screen, the buttery smooth stock android and the battery is amazing (for my usage anyway!)

Not to mention it's possible at the moment to unlock, root, and do what you want with it. Really liking the photo sync at full resolution.

I've come from the s7e and I prefer this phone. I go through phones multiple times a year and this thing is a beast. Battery life is a lot better than my s7e and I much prefer the plain Android experience. Will hold onto this unless the mate 9 turns out to be epic.

I upgraded from S7Edge. Its been a week now and i am loving pixel XL. Edge on S7Edge wasn't very useful to me...

just pulled the trigger today and ordered the xl, had the note 7, traded it in and was using my s6 for the time being. My s6 has turned into a giant pile, so i can not wait for december 9th when my xl ships. glad to hear some of the positive reviews

Upgraded to a Note 7 from a S7 Edge and to the Pixel XL from a Note 7... Enjoying the phone so far

Had the Note series since version 2. Had to find something to replace my 7. Never thought I would like a non Note device as much as I do this Pixel XL. Next year is going to be a tough choice between second generation Pixel or whatever Sammy calls the next Note. I do miss the AOD and Spen slightly, but Assistant, stock Android, battery life, always listening Google make up for it enough.

The main thing i miss from my Note 7 is the display ...boy nothing really seems to compare when outside .

been a samsung fan from the s1, had every phone, will no longer buy samsung due to locked bootloaders and bloated system even without carrier bloat. every single samsung lags, newer ones not as bad but still lag including the note 7 (bomb edition). the pixel just flies through every task, and being that your on xda, i would assume you like to mod your device, well in that category there is absolutely no comparason

Thats exactly what ive been using , i have an app that sets it to auto just a bit flacky for me it likes to kick off to quickly. When i keep it on i will agree it matches close to the note 7, but i liked the stock adaptive brightness that got into to the high brightness smoothly .... just a little picky i know

No going back to samsung now. I love their camera, i love their crazy fast autofocus but damn the software on the XL, just spoils you. This is truly lag free and an amazingly refreshing experience. It's no nonsense, cuts to the job of getting things done and has really good battery life.

I Had s7e, and the pixel flies in comparison, or at least it feels that way. Camera on s7e seemed to load just a tad quicker, but otherwise the pixel is much better

Yeah. I believe when they release the code for the developers to have third party access this month or next, the usefulness will change dramatically. Instead of google baking stuff in, they set up the AI to accommodate and going to let devs go wild. B4 long we will see it's true power. Also, I was more speaking of always listening assistant that I use often. I HATE Sammy disabling it and forcing S Voice. So I never even used it on Notes 5 or 7. Nice to have the google back.

What did Samsung disable? On my Note 7 and S7e I used Google Now fine and assistant in allo worked fine. They crippled the listening from always on when the screen is off to only allow when plugged in. I doubt it's pushing s voice though. I've never even opened the s voice app since the Note 4. Only reason I don't disable it is because it's tied to the voice to text framework
Correction, only reason I DIDN'T disable it, past tense

One UI 2 Beta Animation Stutter

Have others noticed random Animation jankiness (stutter) through the interface?? Such as going back to the home screen, opening up the recent apps, launching an app from the home screen, etc... . US note 10+ unlocked running the latest beta 3.
At some points it's as fluid as an iPhone but then randomly I will see frame drops when doing the same thing. Could be any app. If this is just a beta issue then I'm fine, but if it behaves the same way when the final comes out, I might just get another phone.

Isn't this a common thing with Samsung phones? I have this issue randomly on my Note 10+ as well, running Android Pie. Same on my S10+. I'm very sensitive to this type of stuff so I definitely notice it.

No, it is not common, I understand your concern, I see these stutters in some other devices, (old ones
that I keep as secondary o emergency ) but this typically happens due to low ram

yeah i still get some stutters, but its gotten better each beta release. oneui 2 is still leagues better than every other samsung phone in terms of animation smoothness though. Samsung lag is pretty much gone, but there has always been some stutter when going to recent apps or going home... but i think samsung is working hard on this, just so that the s11's 120hz screen won't have this issue.
I'm surprised you didn't get a new phone to begin with. samsung phones are known for the features/bloat. if you want smooth, get a pixel or oneplus or iphone.

I have the official Android 10 (One UI 2.0) on my S10+ and it is definitely not smooth as one would expect. Many instances of choppy animations, dropped frames, microstutter, and lag. I factory reset the phone as well to remove any variables and the same issues persist. My Note 10+ running Android Pie is noticeably more smooth than the S10+ on the newest firmware. Here is hoping the official release for the Note 10+ will be a bit better.

Yes that's the same for me,
Also, between LockScreen and Always On display, the animation it's just terrible, it lags very very often.
I've tried to install other launchers, and the opening and closing animation is MUCH more fluid instead of the default one.
I've tried with my Note10+, and the stable version of Android 10 for Note

This is a shame indeed, I was really hoping that Samsung would work hard to fix this issue ugh. Let's hope the final one UI 2 release fixes this issue. One ui , 1 or 2, was supposed to address the old touchwiz lag issues but apparently not. I did hey a chance to play with the new pixel devices and they were smooth as butter. I was so tempted to get them but the battery issues reported stopped me from doing that. I'm definitely getting the s11 plus so hopefully that will be a better device but we will see I guess.

lag hasn't really existed for years. animation stutter is a separate thing imo. But yeah if you want the smoothest of animations, get a pixel/oneplus or iphone. I can't imagine s11 being perfect even with 120hz screen... but maybe oneui 2.1 solves all the problems.

I had my Galaxy note 10+ updated to Android 10 with one ui 2.0 and the recent apps animation is really bad, has anyone found a solution, it's almost unbearable switching apps.
Thanks in advance,

try enabling performance mode. it sure helps a lot. by default the "optimised" option is on and it only runs with 70% of the cpu power. Also dark mode "hides the stutter" much better. . dark apps open and close with better transitions. Its not the best but it helps a lot in my opinion

Thanks in advance,

Disable accessability services, that should help.

People tends to say the same thing every year, every update.
“Disable this, disable and solve the situations”.
I have a OnePlus 7 pro, no lag even with all enabled. Same for iPhone 11.
Disabling things won’t make animation or lags less frequent, will only improve ram and cpu usage a little.

I definitely see issues with the animation when returning to home screen, but it's not a performance issue per se. It's almost like there is a double animation, first the normal one, but then it snaps back to showing the current app before showing the home screen. It looks super fugly.
I made a quick video to demonstrate what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/UQ37LMqo7jM

Looks like you are using custom launcher and your animation is known issue on Android 10 with custom launchers.

I have resolved this problem
I enable developer mode then I turned off all animations for the transactions and all these stuff and it works with me very fine

I got the official Android 10 update for my Note 10+ on Verizon a couple days ago and it's quite laggy. My OnePlus6T runs way smoother. This phone has been pretty laggy since I bought it last September. I hadn't tried a Samsung in 3 years until the Note 10+ but I guess they still haven't learned how to make a phone run smoothly (I should have known better than to believe flossy carter). I'm quite disappointed in this phone tbh. I had high hopes and talked myself into keeping it, but in hindsight, I should have returned it.
I might do a factory reset soon to see if that helps. Pretty sad a device that cost $1100 doesn't run any better than a midrange device. I've also noticed more battery drain. The battery was epic on Android 9, and though it's still ok on 10, it has noticeably got worse.

That $1000 phone have 1000 features, compare to 6T which is almost barebone stock Android. OnePlus UI base came from Cyanogen, very light system. OneUI is young UI in second version, future is bright

The only accessibility service I have turned in is dashlane. Everything else is off.
For me, up to 4-5 apps there's no stutter in the animations, but after starting having more than 5 apps in the recent apps menu the lag starts and it gets worst with the increase of apps in recent apps menu.
Only Samsung to have this kind of thing in a flagship.

Actually, the issue is exactly with Dashlane. After you stop it I guarantee you that the issue will be resolved.
Apps like Dashlane and Keepass, when enabled with accessibility option, are always working on the background and checking every screen for possible data breach. Once you disable it, you will be reborn and the phone will be smooth as butter.

yeah i still get some stutters, but its gotten better each beta release. oneui 2 is still leagues better than every other samsung phone in terms of animation smoothness though. Samsung lag is pretty much gone, but there has always been some stutter when going to recent apps or going home... but i think samsung is working hard on this, just so that the s11's 120hz screen won't have this issue.
I'm surprised you didn't get a new phone to begin with. samsung phones are known for the features/bloat. if you want smooth, get a pixel or oneplus or iphone.

If the 120hz screen is confirmed, then the stutters will be more noticeable. I don't really have them since i keep my phone pristine from bloat and take care of it as a baby, but I guess the random Samsung jaggyness can one day come back
