The very first thing that I noticed after upgrading to 2.2 was that the browser was noticeably more sluggish when panning and was visibly lagging behind my finger on the screen. It's only obvious on sites with complex content (e.g. www.planetf1.com ) and happens even with Flash switched off
I'm pretty sure this didn't happen with 2.1 as it was immediately apparent once I'd upgraded, but without having them side by side, it's hard to tell.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Nope. planetf1.com loads just fine on mine. (with flash enabled)
Yes... I've noticed the same behaviuor!!! Now, with official 2.2 rom, scrolling sites is lagging respect to the fingers movement!
Came here to see if there were any threads on this. I notice the exact same thing in nearly all of the full fat websites (not the mobile versions) I go on. It's really irritating as the browser is the main thing I use on the phone besides texts, and it's nowhere near as snappy as before. Sort of wish I'd held off updating.

mine is perfectly fine but i did a full data and phone reset
Inertia lacking
For me, it's not the speed as such, but the speed of the scrolling - it's still smooth and not jerky, but there seems to be a lack of "inertia".
The same can be said for Google Maps - flicking or scrolling quickly doesn't produce quite as much speed and the scrolling simply slows down much faster than before with much less inertia/elasticity (if that makes sense!)
Not a major problem, and as I said, it's still smooth and not jerky for me which would have been a much bigger problem if the frame-rate had reduced...
I have noticed scrolling isn't quite as smooth as 2.1, I have flash on demand but noticed animated images now animate. I wonder if that slows the scrolling down.
Same here on regular sites (not mobile ones). What's diference between flash always on and on demand?
Same here.. Experiencing more laggy scrolling in browser
Thanks all. Good to know I'm not alone...
Again, this is my primary app on the device so for me at least, this is a bit of a downgrade
Perhaps a cache purge might help....
In di.se I can´t scroll down at first, I have to zoom in to be able to scroll down. There wasnt any problems before upgrade
I cleared my cache and turned my phone off and on and that seems to have cleared up my sluggish browser.

its a real pity there are some annoying little issues.
The browser home page does not work. Evenif you kill the browser it will still load on the last page you visited. not google etc or whatever you want as your homepage. I wanted 2.2 fast too, but some basic QA could have caught these issues.
yup it is lagging and slow in comparison to 2.1
I can cope with most issues but this is to bad. Going to roll back until this is fixed

This lag is really bad and noticeable, I'm.surprised not as many people are making a big thing of it, it is to me lol .
I've done a full wipe and the browser lag is still there
Anyone know what else to try
Yep I am experiencing the same.
Gotta be something to do with Flash right?
Mines not super smooth either but for how often I use it where I need it, it doesn't bother me at all.
I've also noticed scrolling is a bit jerky, not just in browser but in any list, for example flicking through apps in the app drawer. It's annoyed me for a while, I've put it down to quirks of unofficial roms. Seems to be worse in some roms more than others, and also worse when I have more apps installed but I may be imagining that.
Browser is slower than 2.1, it's annoying.
Hi everyone,
I have my GSM Galaxy Nexus for nearly 2 months, and I'm really pleased with this phone, which replace my old yet good Galaxy S. The device is snappy, smooth, I can play every games and watch nearly every movie files I want etc, perfect for me, especially with its huge wide screen.
That said, I always try to find a little thing to reproach to my phone. Not so easy, but even so, I find something which can be a bit annoying.
We all use our launcher a lot, obviously, it is like the core/bridge app of our Android device. I noticed that the 4.0 launcher has some performances problems, let me explain you how to easily reproduce them (close all your apps in order to have the best performance as possible) :
-The transition between the app-drawer and the desktop panels can be not so smooth as it should with such a powerful device. Try to go in and out the app-drawer, you will notice that sometimes it lag, sometimes not. I asked myself why it behave like that, and I may have found the problem. When you enter in the app-drawer or when you flip your panels on the desktop or in the app-drawer, you surely have notice this little blue bar at the bottom at the screen, which indicate you where you are. If you try to go in/out the app-drawer while this bar is on the screen, the transition will be laggy. Just wait it disappear, and it will be smooth (if not, do it 2-3 more time, and it should be good).
-When you clicked on a widget in the app-drawer, a message will pop out about how to add it to your homescreen blablabla. It also notice that if you try to flip your panel in the appdrawer or the desktop while the message is on the screen, everything will be laggy, especially in the app-drawer, it will have horrible performance, but as soon as this message disappear, everything become smooth like before.
Why ? It don't know. At first, I thought the problem comes from the launcher, but maybe not. Indeed, if messages like the one I talked about above appear anywhere while you're using your device, like in the Web Browser for example, it will lag, maybe less than in the launcher, but it will.
So what ? Maybe the launcher is not fully hardware accelerated, or it lack optimizations ? It may be the case, but I try to run CM9 on my old Galaxy S, and it doesn't have such problems (the performance will depend on the old hardware itself), it is also the same on a friend's Galaxy SII, its launcher is butter-smooth even if you do want I explain.
Is the OMAP4460 or the PowerVR SGX540 too bad to run it correctly ? I doubt it is the case, since my 2 years old Galaxy S run it good. Indeed, even if I overclocked my device to 1400MHz with the "performance" governor, only the 1st case problem will be partially solved, the 2nd one will still make your device run like crap.
Since those lags can appear everywhere if above conditions are met, the problem may be that our phone can't run correctly if there are 2 "layers" on the screen, the message on foreground and your launcher on background for example. It is probably the case, and even if I study IT, I can't explain it really well, sorry
I obviously try a lot of ROMS : Stock 4.0.2/3/4, AOKP, CM9, ARHD, with stock and custom kernels, and they all have the same problem. If you want to have better performance, try to put the minimal CPU frequence to 700MHz, you will maybe lose 30 minutes of battery, but it is globally more usable if you want my opinion.
Do you experiment the same problems ? Have you any ideas about how to solve them ? Thanks to read me !
PS : The Galaxy Nexus also has performances problems if you are using it in landscape position. Everything will be less smooth and snappy. The best example is if you use the app-drawer, it back absolutely unusable.
Since upgrading to nova launcher prime my UI is very fluid. Landscape is still choppy but less so.
bow chicka wow wow.
I forgot to say that I also tried Nova and Apex, it has the same problems
Hello all
I'm having artifacs on 4.2 rom as i mentioned
They are more like vsync issues like tearing. It happens usually when fps goes above 58. Happening more on popup windows like ringtone selector , also too frequently on twitter app while scrolling. Its really annoying things look messed up like half or one second then it goes normal and then happens again some after.
Anybody can help? Sory for my english
Heja folks!
Did somebody notice, that after Nougat update device had become more laggy, for example, lags apps transition when multitasking, lags home button, especially, when waking device on fingerprint. If using some app for a long while, opening another app from recents cause noticeable delay on press, even if this app is still there in memory.
I know the lag perception differes from one to another, but still, I think this lags are really noticeable. I used to set 1,3k/1,3k cores on input boost with 300ms on Mm to get IDEAL fluidness in every situation, now I need to set 1,3k/1,9k with 400ms, but it still lags sometimes. If somebody faced this too, plz respond..
I'm really having trouble. I was deleting some messages from Gmail and the lag was too big!

I'm not really sure, if in app smoothness decreased for me with nougat. Maybe some apps became little more laggy, but another became faster, for example EX kernel manager works really faster, YouTube is smoother. On the other hand Telegram chat transition become crappy, kate mobile is a bit slower when browsing news. So if talking about inapp experience it's fair enough. Something improved, something got ****ty.
But still, multitasking and recent apps became MUCH slower. Maybe it's coz of op **** coding, mb it's coz multiwindow feature, Mb some app is causing this, and maybe it's just my crappy device. Who knows... But if somebody really knows, please answer)
I noticed that if a VPN app is active or the Keeper app, for example, is running in the background, laggy is much bigger!
You could do a clean install, overall custom roms are smoother! We sadly don't have this features since they can cause instability and you won't try that with 7 mil sells
Ofc I did a clean install and tried various custom roms. But still lag persists.

The stock kernel has always been sluggish, and Nougat has been quicker than marshmallow for me, and I'm the type of guy that gets annoyed if there is 1 microstutter. I hate any and all lag so I tend to use performance based tuning and not battery life. Try FreedomOS 2.3 (not the one based on OB11, OB11 sucks a**) with Franco, Blu spark or render kernel (Franco, Blu spark are my favorite) and I guarantee you, all those lags with the multitask button and home button will be gone
Use akt app and use any profile in that according to your usage to remove lag
This is not the normal 'lag' but a wierd frame drop issue when scrolling in an otherwise smooth experience.
This doesn't seem to be app specific or kernel specific either. It happens in even the settings app and I've tried pretty much all kernels and different settings but this issue seems to persist. This does not happen in Custom Roms, I tried really hard to replicate it.
I've reported it to Oneplus via the feedback app with logs, but have little hope for a reply from them. I'm just taking a shot at here if anyone else noticed this or maybe even found the reason for it. I checked logs but couldn't find anything specific.
Screenshots attached with 'Profile GPU Rendering' On when the stutter happens.
(Issue since 4.7.6 to now OB4)
Logs of when the stutter happens attached.
Yes am also facing the same.

Amazing contribution.
Same issue on OB4. Seems to happen after 3-4 after a reboot
Same things, on custom rom though..

Extensively used CNP and Omni, even intentionally tried to replicate this but couldn't. Seems it's restricted to just OxygenOS.
When Ivrun stock oos, I always use renderkernel. It is the smoothest I've ever seen on this phone. Not sure how to read the GPU bars but it never exceeds above the navbar area. It usually stays right in the bottom half of the navbar.
Give render kernel a try and you really wont be disappointed.

Using render right now and yes it is by far the smoothest kernel. But this issue still persists. The only common factor is OxygenOS, I'd assume it to be a hardware or screen protector issue but it does not happen with custom ROMs.
After talking to @joshuous this is what he suspects could be the reason for the issue. Thanks again for explaining.
"The issue was mainly because the graphics buffer could not be dequeued (to allocate free buffers for graphics)
But that was as deep as I could trace
I haven't yet figured out a way to trace further
Maybe OOS screwed up somewhere trying to allocate too many buffers to graphics but not freeing them in time for more frames to be rendered"
There is no likely solution as of yet, will post if and when.
I experienced the same issue for the first time on OB4 and it persists from time to time. Solution: Reboot
Ok so as a temporary fix I found enabling 'Disable HW Overlays' from developer options helps a lot.
This maybe similar to a fix for YouTube lag found on Nexus 6.
https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-youtube-lag-on-the-nexus-6/
Hi, occasionally I have a similar problem where I experience intermittent lags or heavy frame drops during scrolling. My setup is OOS 9.0.3, stock kernel, unrooted.
Turning on "disable HW overlays" definitely helps a lot, but in my case just turning the screen off and on seems to get rid of the quirk at least until I turn the screen off.
Also there was a thread on XDA apparently talking about the same kind of lags, and the OP there said to have solved it by tinkering with some custom kernel to crank up the CPU frequency whenever s/he touches the screen. I didn't try it myself though.
same on op6/6t
on latest stable oxygenOS all ok...
but betas and older stable same lag after fast third scroll/tap... kernel cannot fix it, it's rom issue (
Same issue on oneplus 7T! But no one talks about It, it's absurd. Didn't find any solution, I'm getting crazy because is always so visible
