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"?

Man idk...maybe some bloat or config issue but i installed smash hit(never played til you mentioned it so thanks for giving me a new addiction)and it ran smooth even on high graphics...my h811 has same hardware and my antutu was much higher...my g4 has been my favorite device since my g2...the g3 was a pile and i hated it...you will have to check out whats clogging up your processing...something isn't right...if all else fails try backing up data and factory reset...many have reported this to solve many issues good luck!

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...

It means his device is running cooler than yours. He mentioned some tweaks to keep heat down.
There is also the CTT mod (in development)but it requires root.

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?

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?
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:

I guess something is not ok in your device: signal strength and smoothness are the state of the art for now
Yes no lag,Awesome device. Despite having an exynos processor,it's very smooth. Although signal strength is better in Xs Max.
Your device must indeed be a faulty one, go claim warranty ASAP
On the contrary, this One UI is the best non-stock Android UI I've ever used, and on the Note 10 plus, it's flying like a rocket.

I personally don't get any lag that I've noticed even when running in medium power saving mode and playing asphalt 9.
I would think since you pretty much just set up the phone it might still be syncing data to Google servers or Samsung cloud or somewhere else. Overtime it will sort itself out when it finish syncing your data.
But you can try:
Turn off auto sync in accounts section and turn on data saver in the data usage section. Restart your phone and see if that helps.
If it doesn't try this.
Back up your data, do a factory reset, restore your data, do not restore settings. Reinstall your apps, do not restore them unless you need to.
I don't know what to say about signal strength other than to call your carrier and have them switch you to a new sim card preferably the one that came with the phone. Couple years ago this helped me not sure if it will for you.

I have lag on the default launcher. I used Lawnchair 2 for the first month of owning the device and have used Nova prime the past 2 weeks and on both of those things run smooth with almost no instances of ui lag. I don't know why, but the stock launcher causes my phone to lag. Thankfully this hasn't been an issue for me since I never planned on using the stock launcher anyway.
I haven't experienced any signal issues and it seems to be on par with my pixel 2xl and oneplus 6t.

Yes, it's still lagging. I mainly notice frame drops when leaving apps. Opening them is smooth but closing them is choppy. Also opening the folders and app drawer lags sometimes. It's unusable for me.

Snapdragon.
Yeah, it's weird because it runs so smooth on third party launchers. It's the smoothest running device I've had but for some reason the stock launcher is laggy junk. But it's no worries for me because I don't like it anyway. It lagged from day one but I never did a factory reset and I also did a transfer from my OP6T when first setting it up. Once we get Android 10 I'll probably do a reset. It's fine as it is now.

Ah I see, did you by chance restore launcher settings from your 6T?
When they release Android 10 I'm sure they're going to F something up as always. The only thing I might be looking forward to to the decoupling of the gesture controls from Samsung's launcher.....it's actually the only reason why I'm still using it.

I think I did restore my launcher settings from the OP6T. I can't remember for sure now, but I think so. I need to mess with my mothers Note 10+ and see if her's lags on the stock launcher. I got both of us one on a BOGO deal through Verizon. I never thought to test her's to see how it's running. I think I set her up on Lawnchair 2 so the stock launcher on her N10+ is probably still on it's default settings.

Ah I also did bogo with the Note 8.
But how did it go with your mother's phone, same lag as yours?
The only 'laggy' part of the UI that I see is the rotation animation it feels like 15-30fps and it triggers me, everything else is super smooth
i dont know why they have 1X animation as default.
i always change my phones to .5x for animation scale under developer options.

My rotation animation is always fluid. So strange how the devices vary so much. Try running a third party launcher like Nova or Lawnchair 2. My phone runs smoother with them.

I always set mine to 1.5 and have since 2012 .5 is jarring to look at. I've never understood why people like .5 so much, but teto.
I am sure something seriously wrong with your device. Can you give it for replacement? Because from my experience in last month or so its been amazing. Never had any issue as such
Having the same crappy experience with Note 10+ 5G (SM-N976B). I switched from Note 8 which never had any issues. Processor is Exynos. It's laggy in almost any scenario despite having enough RAM at all times. I can't figure it out. Samsung suport says to factory reset (of course..) which i will probably do eventually before selling it. I can't remember the last time an android device was this bad for me.. Now that i came across this thread, i'll try a different launcher see if it helps.. All in all, i'm probably gonna get my first iphone next. I'm passed the time in my life when i was happy to troubleshoot and flash roms and stuff..

Yes no lag,Awesome device. Despite having an exynos processor,it's very smooth. Although signal strength is better in Xs Max.

I have same processor I'm not even going to try spell it haha
Hello, i bought this device couple of months back from amazon, ever since it first arrived it has been very laggy, now some of u may say its because of 2gb ram but i have used other redmi devices in the past which comprised of 2gb ram (redmi2 prime, redmi 5 and redmi 6) but this device is way way more laggy then them, and i dont even do any heavy use, im talking about switching between youtube and chrome, as soon as i do that the app restarts, all games are laggy, all apps are laggy, i switched to a custom rom (AOSP Extended) even that lagged so i reverted to miui 11 and hoped it might help but nope. even the camera lags, i just cant tell wether its some factory issue or what, does anybody else have this issue with the said device or is there any way to detect the issue? please dont comment with "its 2gb bruh what do you expect" i currently do have a redmi 5 and i kid you not its performing worse then that, the camera quality and all is fine even the gpu is good but theres just this weird lag, even opening my keyboard makes it lag. not minor lags, MAJOR MAJOR LAGS, Please help me with this issue, how to detect the issue? can i flash some kernel? can i claim warranty or something?
I have issues with WiFi/Bluetooth - as soon as i turn the Bluetooth on, WiFi speed drops dramatically and is unstable, had some mystery battery drain in the first month and now is gone, but performance is good enough

i see, are u using the same variant? i just did a factory rest and am now running a Antutu benchmark test, could u please also run a benchmark test and tell me the performance of ur device if possible? then i could find whether my phone is at fault or not, it will hardly take 15 mins for the test to finish
thank you

These micro lags makes the phones processor feel like it's from 2018, can't scroll through anything without having all these micro lags and jitters, same with light gaming, I don't think this processer can handle to much?
If the next update doesn't fix these issues then I don't think they will be fixed?
I haven't had this problem in the last two months I've been using the phone. My wife hasn't complained about her games - I generally don't game very much.
Have never once felt a jitter or lag.....not once. For me this phone has been a pleasure to use. I rooted right out of the box and have since done an update and switched to another rom without a hitch really. except one hiccup i was having with a bootloop. Which proved to be me not disabling mods before the flash. I absolutely love this phone. I am not seeing any of the issues that people are reporting. I also believe that a LOT of reports are bogus. ( Not saying that this is the case here).
I think these "jitters/lag" you are experiencing are due to the framerate getting locked to 60hz. This happens with mine ever day or two. After a reboot it will be smooth. My guess is there is a "bug" from an app or something causing the framerate to lock at 60hz, rather than the 120hz. I haven't quite figured out how to resolve, other than a reboot. It is quite annoying, and I am hoping a future update (if we ever get one!) will fix it.
I've noticed lag when typing. I do use gboard as most of the people do. I do type with two languages activated. Every now and then the phone lags for about a second.
I thought google had already acknowledge that the phone does lag when the battery percentage drops.
Something about accessibility and animations as far as I remember.
Lol that's the first thing I noticed straight from a clean setup twice, Cod mobile is a jittery mess but perfectly fine on my OP 8 Pro and every time I swiped left for Google now it would jitter, Not all the time but it did do it frequently.
Cod mobile was jittery as hell for me as well. After the Dec update it is not jittery anymore but playing on it is really weird. I can't get used to it so i still play on my Poco x3
Mine studders for sure a few times a day for a few seconds. Factor reset didn't help. This phone feels like it's 8 years old with the stutters and the fingerprint reader that doesn't work.
Very smooth experience for me for gaming and all my everyday tasks.

Well the fact they can't even roll an update out without bricking people's phones kind of says it all really, The software features this device is missing will never get added by Google never it's not in their nature they couldn't care less what the user thinks.
You have to check the Google forums to see most complaint threads have been locked by admins to give you an idea of how little **** they give.

That is another possibility and another reason why I hate Google phones they don't even have refresh rate locks just a "Smooth" option but still jitters.
Just found another bug lol try scrolling fast in opposite directions in messages it just freezes and gets confused and sits there like it can't understand fast opposite direction of scrolling lol, Amazing how these devices get released in these states really.

I no and people dis oneui, Samsung have came such a long way to be honest, at least they're phones are smooth and the extra features that's on oneui is what the consumers asked for, even with all the added features it doesn't hinder battery life, yah can't even screen cast on this phone without a chrome cast, people say about a clean stock software but but what's the point, not like as if it's better battery and performance, I get better performance and battery out of my S20 Fe 5g

They definitely didn't "brick" from the update. Do you know what "brick" means?

If a scrollable list is implemented as a scrollview, data will be loaded into it dynamically, AS you scroll through it. Depending on the speed and latency of the data source (for example, loading over the network), and the complexity of generating each element, you may occasionally scroll beyond the loaded data, requiring an interruption that you might perceive as a "lag" or "jitter".
So really there can be two causes that do NOT imply a CPU performance issue; data source, and bad code. A competent programmer can load data from the network in a more effective manner and ensure that processing overhead is minimized, thus reducing the negative effects.
Unfortunately, with mobile, like web, competent programmers are like a drop of water in the ocean.
