Pull down quick settings, press 'edit', tap the 3 dot menu and uncheck all the boxes.
Just discovered this today. The lag used to be unbearable and was thinking about replacing the phone with a Nexus 6p or HTC 10.
Then I discovered this and the shade is completely buttery now, and plus, looks more like stock android!!
Hope this helps other people as it did to me.

EDIT: I swear the fingerprint scanner is faster now and the whole UI is even smoother... Wow.

You're talking about that ? (see screenshot)
I think it's a placebo effect, I do not see why some shortcuts would slow down the phone completely..
In addition the tab for brightness is very convenient to reset the automatic brightness when the phone takes time to change or remains blocked on a dim light (it's a problem on this phone I think, it's not very effective on auto brightness)
In any case I tried to see, for my part I do not see any difference, the phone has exactly the same behavior as the shortcuts is on !
I forgot the screenshot :angel:
Maybe it's different for other people. When I had those enabled, it definitely was jerky to pull down quick settings, especially using the swipe down shortcut on my launcher. Now it's really smooth for me, which is how it should be with a sd 821. Shouldn't be a challenge for it.
I did find the brightness slider useful but, and I know this sounds weird, I would happily trade those shortcuts (including 'file sharing' etc. which I never used) for a much smoother and cleaner looking notification shade (and btw I have next to 0 lag tolerance... Should have got a Pixel ?). Instead I used Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings to change it to a quick settings toggle and I think this is a good solution considering that personally I hardly ever change the brightness from auto.
Thanks for the reply, interesting how some G6s seem to lag and others don't. Also I've never had a problem with auto brightness ?

Interestingly enough, I've done the same as you.
The problem in doing this is how difficult it is to find this toggle when your brightness is EXTREMELY low and the sun is beaming in your face. Unlike having a whole row to tap on and adjust, you have to tap on one singular point on your display, and I found this frustrating.
Anyways, disabling everything in that list did help with the lag a bit. Even if it was just barely noticeable.
The improvement was more than barely noticeable for me... Made it seem like a software bug.
Having said that, I don't think it's acceptable for a company like LG to release a phone at this price that has any lag issues at all, agree? I'll have spent $674 equiv. just on the phone by the time my contract is up. Loved the phone overall, thought the lag might improve, also thought I would promptly get Oreo (being LG) which might help. None of those happened, and I ran out of time to return it. Silly me...

Maybe it depends on the version of the phone, I'm on h870
On mine auto brightness is really slow, sometimes I need to adjust myself because it is sometimes too strong or too weak compared to the situation, maybe my sensor that is badly calibrated..
Otherwise I agree, sharing files is useless and for the volume I already have the keys, so it is disabled on my side.
It is true that we see a lot of different returns depending on the users of this phone, especially on performance and autonomy, personally I'm lucky, good performance, good battery life and good focal length (2.01)

Yeah auto brightness is pretty slow to react on mine too...
I also have a European H870. It has moments of absolute fluidity out of the blue and it's awesome, and also moments of being so bogged down it's unusable. Everything else is somewhere in between. It feels like a fast phone but it doesn't feel like a OnePlus 3t, which has the same chipset. That's even after debloating the phone almost entirely. I don't really want to install a custom ROM like LOS yet, although I've heard that helps.
If your LG G6 is rooted, install a custom kernel, from Play Store try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps should help, if you installed a custom kernel, play using Kernel Adiutor. Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering, Disable HW Overlays" should make the beast smoother/snappier. Install adblocker too.
This is the better solution for stuttering/lag.

I do not have root at the moment on my phone, but when I do, I will give Kernel Adiutor a try. Thanks!
h870 here, unchecking these boxes didnt make any difference.
although i have to agree that this phone is sometimes weirdly laggy while usuall being smooth most of the time
Thx for letting us know about that menu! Those settings don't produce stuttering for me thankfully, but I disabled them anyway and enabled the volume slider which I love to have there
nice!
The only thing that creates slight stutters (very rare though) on my Orea LG G6 is when I use the ported pixel 2 live wallpapers.

I've been experiencing this for a while now, not sure if its because I'm rooted and have a few xposed modules installed. Anyhow, I've been having pretty bad lag in terms of responsiveness with typing on the keyboard, as well as scrolling on apps that have UI's dedicated to scrolling like FlipBoard.
On Flipboard, the little animation when you flip through pages looks very laggy and isn't smooth. And I've noticed that the flicking power when scrolling is very weak, meaning I'd have to swipe up a few times just to scroll (apps like twitter is noticeable).
I've done a full factory reset and flashed back to stock with Lgflashtool and I get the same thing. My S3 feels faster than this phone and it disappoints me. It seems that other root users don't really have this problem?

Could be a couple things. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/how-to-make-lg-g3-smooth-butter-t2834111
Or more likely, it's the dynamic LCD refresh rate. It can slow down to 30fps (or lower) to save battery life. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/disabling-low-fps-ui-result-fluid-phone-t2842947

Nah man i tried those, I personally think its just placebo or it isn't really working properly for me
I ended up uninstalling xposed and all my modules and switched to ART runtime and it's helped a little. I still think the fluidness of typing on my keyboard and scrolling is really bad and unresponsive
I am one of the few people who hasn't been happy with his LG G4. I love the build, camera and to some extent, the stock launcher, but one thing that irks me is the irritating scroll lag/jitter I experience in most apps. Coming from the Nexus 5, this is jarring and I want to punch the G4 in the face (I then resort to pressing on the screen very hard...it doesn't care).
I have looked and looked for a solution, but there is none. So I ask here, is there a way to eliminate/reduce scroll lag/jitter? The jitter is most noticeable on the official Twitter and Facebook apps, where scrolling causes the feed to hiccup along the way.
What I have tried so far:
- Debloated (no-root) apps and services
- Tried numerous stock launchers including Nova and Google
- Turned animation speeds to 0.5.
- Greenified some apps
- Turned on forced GPU rendering (this one makes no bloody difference)
Is there ANYTHING I can do? Appreciate the help!
I have set up where lag is and jitter is pretty non-existent.
I am rooted for one. Using kernel adiutor changed to interactive on big and little.
Using Amplify to prevent wakelocks. Greenify to hibernate apps. Powernap for battery life. Finally the CTT mod.
Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of work to alleviate (not eliminate) the lag and jitter.
Hopefully we get some good roms when all bootloaders get unlocked.

Damn, that's a lot of work. I am **** scared of rooting my phone in case I brick it, so that's out of the question.
I am hoping for some good Custom ROMS as well, but damn the phone is so powerful. It shouldn't lag at all!

My nexus 5 has less lag. True, this phone shouldn't lag, but bloat ware doesn't help. Rooting this phone wasn't as hard as I thought. I want pure Android on this phone. Give me some cyanogenmod or cataclysm and I will be happy.
I have been using the SM-A505G for almost 2 weeks now. However, I feel that the general performance/smoothness is not good always.
I see many occasional stutters throughout the day and the phone is not as responsive as I would have liked it to be always. Slight stutter are present, and sometimes small things like keyboard would open 1 second later, or swiping from one home screen to another is not smooth many times, or some other minor delays like that. I tried the Samsung One UI launcher and also the Rootless Launcher, but had similar experience on both. I had been using a Nexus6p so far with custom roms, and while this phone is much faster than that, I am not sure if these performance stutters are expected on devices in this price range. Can anyone else share their experience?
I am not playing any games or running many apps on my device as well and am more of a casual user.
Have you tried to use the reduce animations setting in Advanced features? It helps a bit.
Stock keyboard or 3rd party? Using swift key has been quite smooth.
The phone is sluggish especially when showing call screen etc but in general haven't noticed majority of the symptoms you posted.
I'm also coming from Nexus6 with a custom roms and I agree that this phone has been a godsend so far in terms of speed.
Have you thought about rooting it and then install some sort of cpu manager? I know the cpu isn't going to perform like and SD 845 or anything but maybe if u change the governor you could see better performance in day-to-day usage?

Of course they are not expected. Those lags are from bad software optimization i.e dialer in my case

Hoping that's something which Samsung will fix then. Not sure how their track record is on non flagship devices.

Yeah I am trying with some changes to see what works. I switched to lawnchair launcher v2. Seems to be smoother than the others so far. The call screen/dialer is slow for me too.

I can go that route later in the life cycle of the phone assuming it supports all that, but this is not something I really wanted to do in the first year itself.
has anyone tried it yet ? its already out for china rom 12.5.5
how's the battery life? any noticeable change in performance/ overall smoothness?
waiting for mmx personally
its smoother than the previous versions of miui, if someone like miui i can highly recommend it, battery like before

Check Xiaomi updater website if there is a newer version to be installed...
Idk , for me personally I'm only in for the performance mode toggle - if you can see it inside battery settings of security center just enable it and you should be good.

Nope , miui is still trash because of that ...
There's literally no fix for that , I'm thinking of modifying the app that's in charge of handling that to remove all the locks on certain apps but I've still no idea how to remove drop to 60hz after not touching screen... If you remove the app you lose fast charging and usability of basically everything on the phone

yeah . that sucks. drops really kill smoothness of the phone. Im using it in 120hz all the time but dont know how long will that clear data thing work. i got used to 120hz+ displays over the years so i can really feel that stutter .
if i loose 1hr sot over it i dont realy care
How to force this update? Change region?
This "enhanced edition" is just a bunch of lies, there's nothing new, the performance is exactly the same, no new features are added, this just generates a "placebo effect" in those who really believes that this really changes anything.
There are plenty of videos on youtube that demostrates this, and I also experienced this by myself.
In 12.5.4/12.5.5, if you had green tint, go to brightness settings and disable the smoothen transitions option. It's enabled by default and fixes the tint issue (for me).
Make sure you change the brightness once.
It's hard to see when u don't wanna see
Hi , it is just little hint that allows you to get rid of this infamous scrolling issues that appears mostly in social apps like twitter or fb on all AOSP based ROMs.
As I observed it is enough to set some touchboost kernel parameters. Of course you have to be rooted to do that.
Below there is a sample configuration that I use (set in Franco kernel manager) and scrolling is buttery smooth and also I didn't notice inscreased battery drain since I use it (though it it must be higer) .
I suggest to spend sometime to change those value to find sweet spot that suits your needs
Don't ask me about scheduler priority , I don't know what that values means , just know that 1 is fine (maybe other is better ) .
I shared this solution on TG group and some guys confirmed that this trick works for them.
Don't hesitate to share you favorite config and have fun
This was actually one of my main reasons not to use a custom ROM, thanks, I will definitely try this out!
Thank you for sharing this!!
It took me a while to actually find these settings. For those that also can't find it:
Menu > "CPU and GPU" > scroll down to the "Miscellaneous" section > "CAF CPU boost"

The menu of which kernel management application?
Ok I see. Sorry.
Works perfect. Thank You.
However, when you look closely, sometimes I see a slight leap in the animation. Which parameter can be increased to completely remove stuttering scroll animations?
Ok I think I know.

Input boost to 1500 but app drawer from time to time still have some problems with smoothnes
Wow that's a massive difference. I'm using the FPS overlay thing (app not settings) and it actually waits before playing with the refresh rate. I'm on stock not a rom yet, but the little hang ups on what is the latest and fastest chip was annoying me to all hell. Thank you so much (and felek73 obviously)
First impressions: responsiveness if fantastic, but battery drain is way higher (I had just flashed blu sparks and only done a half day, so will see in time) but before it was noticeably better than stock and the remaining 40% has gone by considerably quicker
How to I reset the frequencies to stock? There isnt a "0" option in Franco kernel, despite being that way initially
