I've been having issues with the GN2's performance while scrolling menus and playing games. Jetpack Joyride is the most noticeable, with it stuttering all throughout. This even happens with simple games like Scramble with Friends, making it more unresponsive than it should be. Plugging the phone into the wall seems to lessen the stuttering. It also appears that the longer the app is used it slightly lessens the stuttering.
Strangely, frame rates seem better while playing 3D intensive apps like Death Dome.
My Galaxy S2 did not have any of these problems throughout its entire life span, ever. It did everything buttery smooth, which is strange considering this phone is supposed to be more powerful. The stuttering isn't terrible, but it's definitely there, and I'm not exactly happy with it.
This occurs no matter how many idle programs are closed or what Launcher that is used. I've used TouchWiz, Launcher Pro, and Go Launcher.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something that can be fixed or should I return the phone for another?

Wow, hahaaa! Thanks a lot! That's silly to think that works. I felt like it was some sort of power related issue and was sooner going to overclock the CPU than suspect that option.
It didn't work immediately after disabling it, but once I restarted the phone everything was fine. THANKS AGAIN!!
Hey all, I had a 5x a few months back and moved to an s6 cause of the poor battery, lag issues and uneven camera performance (launching). I've read that the latest update has addressed some of these issues but wanted to get some user opinions before I pull the trigger and get another one.
Any opinions would be great!
There's so many polls and posts about how well its working...
I sideloaded the OTA and it was great for me for a few days. but I started get the camera lag on launching occasionally. Might try doing a full wipe and flash the factory image.
For me, everything has improved with the 5X. This is the experience I was expecting when I got it on release. Here's a little list:
Animations are butter smooth. So smooth I kept them at 1X in the developer options and stock in Nova Launcher.
SwiftKey no longer lags or closes and reopens.
Chrome is way smoother when browsing.
RAM Management when switching between recent apps no longer refreshes apps as often when it's only 10 or so apps listed.
If there is any lag (Doesn't happen very often), it's able to fix itself in a few minutes without the need to reboot.
Camera launching and picture taking/saving have been very good. Could be faster to launch but haven't experienced anymore black screens, viewfinder with grayed out shutter button, or stalled HDR+ saving.
Overall, I've only had to reboot once or twice since sideloading.

122 hours of up time so far on stock rooted ROM J version, with Franco kernel balanced setting, now I have the phone I wanted, it really is night and day, still running perfectly
Yip the new update has worked wonders on my phone aswell.
Won't know if it solved my wifi issues till I get to work next week.
I am having a problem with the you overheating(?) and crashing the Marvel Strike Force game. It will loop the last few frames then finally return to home screen after about 20 seconds or so. The issue doesn't happen while outside of combat, and it occurs after about 10 minutes of play. It can be repeated in a shorter amount of time if already hot. How is it possible to overheat the GPU? Shouldn't there be sensors and a governor? I can confirm that this happens on multiple Pixel Cs. I don't think that this is the game's fault, but rather bad governor, sensor, or lack of cooling. I also have no problem running this game on the Nvidia Shield (aside from it not being on the Play Store for Android TV or some control issues when using a mouse), which has the same chipset.
I was having this same issue and I was searching for a solution. The one that seems to work is to enable Developer Options, then in Developer Options Turn on the option to Disable HW Overlays. This seems to have resolved that issue, however the tablet still gets super hot.

Hello
Recently I've gotten the razer phone and have experienced weird screen tearing, half of the screen wouldint update sometimes.
Ive noticed that this only happens when the phone has been left unused for a while and then when i tried to unlock it it would cause the scream tearing bug outside this circumstance it hasint happened.
I have set the hz to 90 and haven't experienced it since so it could be the 120hz that's causing it.
Anyone else experiencing this and if so anyone have any other solutions?
When I'm playing Clash of Clans, I get a weird tearing effect when a lot of graphics are popping. Maybe it has something to do with the game booster app or the custom refresh and resolution I have set for the game, but it doesn't give a good impression, for a gaming phone.
dont use any other resolution but the default wqhd one.
Been running stock Android ever since I got my Pixel XL and have been happily running the phone since it came up with each Android update and security patch. Never an issue.
Since a couple of weeks ago when I got the OTA update for Pie, ever since I have noticed the phone to just be laggy. Switching apps and launching stuff, things just take longer to happen. Sometimes they take seconds sometimes less. Games that would play fine now seem to have low frame rates.
My partner who has the Pixel (not XL) is in the same boat as me but having a worse time with the whole phone becoming unresponsive and locking up all the time.
Now the only reports I've seen regarding Android Pie is fast charging issues but neither of us are suffering those issue. All our PD USB-c chargers continue to fast charge fine. I have also seen some high profile Pixel 2 XL users have lag issues but no lag issues with Pixel XL.
Anyone else having lag issues, low framerates and system lockups with Android Pie on the original Pixel phones?
We have yet to factory flash but want to hold out before having to set everything up again.
A theory I have to why my phone is laggy is that I think the system is throttling back my CPU due to battery health. I know Google put some new smarter battery management in this version of Android but I think it is working too hard to a point where the phone is getting very irritating to use.
Thoughts?
No lags on Android 9 here but also flashed clean with factory image.
My Pixel XL is also bit laggy on android 9.
Clearly visible with this live wallpaper which was running super smoothly in 8.1 android, now it freezes for a fraction of a second when unlocking the phone and live wallpaper kicks in.
General app start seems to have slowed down a bit for me too.
Maybe all this crap began with Adaptive battery thingie?
same problem here a lot of lag and freez in my og pixel xl when using ordinary apps like IG, gallery, clock and even xda apps but strangely it run smoothly when playing heavy game like asphalt or PUBG

I've turn off adaptive battery on my pixel xl but the problem still persists
Phone runs smooth on 9.0 for me. Clean flashed factory image. Maybe you guys too need a clean flash? I do understand that formatting should not be required for a phone to run smoothly after each update but looks like that is the solution for now.
I would agree that Android 9 is not as smooth as 8.1. When I first updated, it ran really bad - I eventually did a factory reset, and while it's not as smooth or fluid as 8.1, there's far less freezes or frame drops.
Went back to 8.1. Pie runs like garbage. It was taking 4-5 seconds to open my texting app. Everything back to normal on Oreo.
Pie was lagging my v1 Pixel XL. Seriously bad and huge battery drain. Did a factory reset and that resolved all my issues. Except for the PITA having to log back into every app and resurrect Google Authenticator for 2FA (make sure to right down all the auth sites and have backup codes ready). But as the other poster mentioned a clean install seems to be the only way to get Pie to work. Just bite the bullet and factory reset Pie.
Same-laggy original pixel XL and fast draining battery+ brightness issue
I'll try to factory reset like everyone is suggesting but wanted to go on record about this since expect more from a Google flagship that's only 2 years old. In addition to what everyone else has said, I've experienced problem with brightness of screen. Before pie update I could really cranking up brightness. Obviously battery would take a hit but sometimes needed that extra brightness. Anyone else experience this?

Do you have adaptive brightness enabled? It is enabled by default and adjusts the brightness based on machine learning algorithms
My pixel xl was lagging too. I noticed my Zooper widgets were not loading. I went into the Zooper widgets app and was prompted with a message about it not being tested on 9 yet. After I acknowledged the message, runs without any lag. Widgets loaded on home screen too. Maybe you have a hanging app in the background.

I've had adaptive brightness off so that can't be it. But thanks
how do i disable the pie update notification on my android 8.1 pixel XL?
Can't. Not without root.
My camera was seriously lagging. Sometimes 6-7 seconds to open and then 3-4 seconds to take a pic. Someone mentioned adaptive battery and it occured to me that maybe Accubattery was somehow causing problems with the adaptive battery settings in Pie. I uninstalled Accubattery and now my phone is back to normal. No shutter lag at all, camera opens in a fraction of a second.
Bought it a few days ago with Oreo, updated to Pie, and got one bug fix update after - no lag or something, runs super smooth.
There's really no reason to use things like that anymore, especially with newer versions of Android. It used to be necessary back in the day, hell Greenify was like mandatory lol. But really if you're going to use anything , you'd want a program to turn off GPS while screen is off, stuff like that , but it doesn't honestly make a dramatic difference with the optimization in Pie. I get roughly 4 hours screen on time and about 20% battery life left at the end of a cycle. That's 20% drain per hour and I never turn ANYTHING off. GPS always on, most of my day not on wifi, Facebook, Twitter , I just kill it.
To enjoy pie, its best to format data and flash factory images
I've been rebooting my phone at least once a day because the lag is so bad. It's becoming very frustrating.

Did you OTA update or start fresh flashing an image with fastboot?
