Phone stuttering and lagging more each day - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Anyone also experiencing same issues? After the PIE update months ago, everything began going downwards. Scrolling sometimes getting laggy or sticky (like pulling a gum from the ground), stuttering on some apps like chrome etc. Should i go back to Oreo? For me personally seems like this whole PIE thing was just a half-assed rebranded thing for OP5/5T originally meant to be devices like OP6/6T they just released half-assed update to satisfy people asking for pie update.

You're not alone.
I noticed this straight away when I "upgraded" to pie. Very noticeable when scrolling. If you leave the phone idle for a couple seconds (around more than 20-30 seconds), then scroll again, there's a very noticeable lag.
Another user on reddit managed to capture the issue
Unfortunately there's no fix. I wiped the cache and then factory reset. Still had the issue.
I ended up just going back to Oreo, which I recommend you do if you want smooth performance again.

Same problem here, no one want to help us. Like problem did not exist

I started having this problem since going to Pie, but the phone only stutters randomly about once or twice a day for me. A temporary solution for my phone is that whenever it lags, I press the power button to lock the phone. After unlocking, the stutters go away. Let me know if it works for you.

N5X slows down and falsely registers long presses as uptime increases

Hey all!
My N5X is running stock, completely unaltered (not unlocked, not rooted, no custom recovery, etc.).
The longer it goes without rebooting, the slower it gets.
Eventually, it starts registering long-presses when I only push very quickly on the screen, and this comes with a lag of the UI in general.
I also noticed audio would start skipping after a while.
1. Am I the only one noticing this?
2. Do any of you have an idea of what could be causing this? Sounds like a memory leak, either from an app or the system, but I could be wrong.
3. How would you go about troubleshooting this?
Thanks!
We have multiple posts discussing about lags:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/nexus-5x-lag-t3235343
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/snapchat-lag-5x-t3250747
So you are not alone.
I saw things about Snapchat and anything involving a camera in general.
But haven't seen anyone complain of false long-presses yet =(
I've had mine running 2 weeks straight before the OTA, and was surprised (and impressed) that I never had any random reboots or slow down.
Stock, with fairly basic apps - stock google apps and a couple games.
I'm completely with you on this one. Lag central, slow downs, I'm at a reboot every 2-3 days now before it becomes unusable to take pictures.

Device slightly "choppy" after January Update?

Hi there,
after flashing the most recent OTA Update, my device seems a little choppy here and there, scrolling isn't as smooth as it used to be. It is a very minor difference, but recognizable. My brother's experience is about the same after installing the latest update. It is no game breaker, but I loved the buttery smooth scrolling from before.
Does anybody else experience a slight drop in smoothness after the update?
That's a known issue with the full OTA package. Just reboot and all will be fine.
Already tried that, the slight drop in smoothness persists. I think I'll try a full wipe tomorrow.
Try lowering Animations Scale in Developers Settings to .5x
I fastbooted the factory image without the -w and it was indeed very choppy. Now, this was a problem that Google addressed and said that rebooting would fix it. Rebooting did speed it back up, but after a short period of time, a day I think, I my phone became noticeable slower. Although I did not notice a drop in scrolling smoothness, There would be a clear delay from the time I pressed the home button to when the animation of the app closing began. I wasn't too sure what was going on, and was desperately hoping that this was not happening because of prolonged use. I personally think Google somehow messed up and made it so that sideloading either the ota or factory images slowed the device down. There is no way a pixel would begin to slow down that much after such a short period of time (I think I wiped my phone about a month before I flashed the January image). I thought it could've been the January image itself causing the slowdowns, so I flashed back to December security patch and took the OTA and it was smooth like normal. I have not used the January image long enough to determine if Google messed something up with sideloading or whether the slowdowns just came with prolonged use.
I apologize for the essay, but I just wanted to share my experience. Hope this helps!

Random Freezing and Crashing

Hey guys, i love my pixel 3 XL its been great but it has been randomly freezing and locking up, somtimes requiring a restart.
Other time i get the system UI crashed message and then i close it and it works again. Sometimes Chrome or the camera app locks up and crashes too.
Anybody experiencing this? Any ideas on a fix, maybe the next December OTA will fix it hopefully.
Thanks

I'm getting pretty fed up of factory resetting my phone, the phone started saying it's corrupt so I ended up reflashing it and that issue is now gone, but this freezing issue happens every now and then. You really think a factory reset is worth trying? Or could have something of gone wrong with the reflash?

I absolutely would try a factory reset if things are acting strange for no apparent reason.

If you flashed the factory image it's either a hardware or app issue. Have you tried using the phone for awhile with a minimum of apps? I'd give that a try I don't think a factory reset will do anything if you've already flashed the factory image.

try the flash-all.bat then when its complete go to stock recovery and format /data
are you using substratum?
Pixel 3 XL crashing
I have had the same problem. My system UI crashes since new, along with other apps and the phone becomes non-responsive. I thought it was just a new phone glitch that would be fixed with an update, no such luck... I need to do a hard reboot by holding the power button until it reboots. I bought a Pixel 2 XL in August and never had any problems like this. I finally contacted Google about the problems and they RMA'd it. I never root my phones before making sure they work correctly, so this one is and has been stock, unrooted.
My wife and I have the 64GB models in Black (mine), White (hers). She's on her 3rd replacement phone for what seems to be a similar issue.
Symptoms:
When using the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone, it may not unlock for 10+ tries.
The phone's battery drains quickly, within a couple hours of barely any use, her phone might be down to 60-70%
System_UI crashes
Some apps don't seem to load quickly (Like going into messages, you see the app container, and a new chat button, but no messages load for a minute). Or she's had a straight up black screen, and the app wouldn't load.
Takes minutes to call or hang up a call and often takes rebooting to close out the phone app.
It almost seems like something is running in the background that is utilizing the CPU and causing the lag/app/battery issues.
Troubleshooting:
Factory Reset
Wiping Dalvik Cache
Replacing the phone twice through Verizon. The first replacement had the same issues immediately. The 2nd phone showed the same issues immediately, and then went away for 3 weeks since the Dec. 5th Security update, but in the past few days has returned.
Booted in Safe Mode (everything seems to be working fine however extremely limited).
We've also checked the processes and no apps seem to be running that would make any sort of impact.
Running out of ideas

Since the December update, the freezing issues I was having have been significantly reduced, but it still freezes sometimes... I am hoping the January update coming in the next week will smooth out any remaining bugs.
Any of you using a different launcher?
I had this freezing and non-responsive issue. The google rep, replaced it, he determined it is some kind of hardware issue. My replacement didn't have this issue at all (November update). However, the lag/stuttering still persists though. I had replaced quiet a few pixel 3 XL, and i am just getting tired of it. For a $1K phone, we shouldn't get mediocre quality of phone.
So my wife had been removing applications in small groups to try to narrow it down. It seemed for a week or so that she was in the clear and everything was working. Then all of a sudden she got the January update and her phone is still having issues.
Slow responding finger print reader.
System UI crashes
Unable to answer phone calls despite numerous attempts.
It still seems like there is something that is running in the background that is just using the processing power.

Get gsam from the app store, if you don't have it. After awhile see what apps are using battery, app sucker in the app. Gsam is a battery monitor.

Performance drops after updated to Android 8

Hi,
I've been here for a while now but this is my first post ever.
I'm having a really weird issue: when i first bought the phone, it works flawlessly and there was nothing to complain about. However after updated to Android 8, the phone's performance drops noticeably. Applications like Facebook or Instagram always freeze after a few minutes surfing (the lag will last for a few seconds and come back to normal, and after a while it's lag again).
Even in a low-end game like The Walking Dead Season 1, sometimes the FPS drops dramatically. Never happened in Android 7 before.
I tried reset the phone, clear cache and data and stuff like that but it just doesn't work.
Switching to Lineage OS is a good option, the performance there is really fast. But the gamepad and the camera don't work stably to i switched back.
Can someone help me?
The phone is not rooted or anything like that btw.
Thanks.
Perfectly fine here, try factory-resetting your smartphone.
No problem here.
Try full format your phone using recovery.
I'm starting to see big issues with response lag (especially when typing). Anyone have a solution for this issue? I have Oreo factory on my Z2.
Thanks,

OneUI 2.1 - Lag / Graphics bug?

Hi all!
After OneUI 2.1 update, I get graphical lags. Not very frequently but regularly (~ 5 to 10 times a day maybe). In games, apps or system doesn't matter. It hangs a moment, then its fine. Its kind of a smooth lag somehow, don't know how to describe. As if the system is fine and fast, just the graphics hang a fraction of a second. Anyone else with this issue? I read something about graphics driver updated in last version, is it true? Could these be the issue? But then I would't be alone I assume.
I want to avoid factory reset if possible. Thanks for your thoughts and stay healthy!
What power mode are you using?

Hmmm does it do it in high performance and what games or apps are you trying to run
Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
I was playing Empires and Puzzles mostly. But also happened in system settings during scrolling. Somehow, since I did a second wipe of cache partition yesterday it seems fixed. Hopefully.
Clear cache partition?
Yes did that. First time didnt help but second time seems to work so far.

Model: G973F
I did have the same issue after the update but my phone had completely settled now and back to normal. Verizon 10+ flashed with u1 firmware
i see a lag on fingerprint animation only
And I thought I was the only 1...
N975f flash thru Odin one UI 2.1 yesterday...noticed animations not that smooth...kinda lagging and fp animation slow too...wipe cache many times Liao...continue observing see how
I have the same problem with exynos in France since 2.1
Even after factory reset
The animation of opening applications to change and sometimes it crashes. It's less smooth.
Fingerprint animation is the only thing bothering me, seems choppy or just low fps in general

It came with an update, let's hope it goes away via update as well. At least I wait until next patch before resetting my phone.
