Does anyone else see the phone start slowing down when recieving a text message while your using the phone (like scrolling down the app drawer?)
is there any way to fix this? and can i ask why with such beastly specs the app drawer scrolling slows down with a live wallpaper on?... whats the point of the introduction of lwps if even this kinda phone cant "handle" it?

Poorly optimized code I'd guess. I'm on a custom ROM and it's smooth no matter what. It could also have to do with what you've got running in the background. If you've got like 10 different things running actively in the background I would think that'd slow things down.

What ROM are you using? I'm on bakedsnackbeta7 it could be its poorly optimized cause its still beta
I went to try out the Note II in store today - and couldn't believe how laggy it was... I have the Original Note, which feels much faster in comparison.
I noticed lag on
Home Screen - jerky movement
App Drawer - jerky again
Gallery - Took 10 seconds to open, very jerky scroll
Home Button - 3 or 4 seconds to return to home
My note doesn't lag on any of these, even with the new 3D Gallery app.
This was in the UK, O2 store. I even tried it on two display models and they were just as bad
I reminded me of the horrible lag I used to get on the old Galaxy S with 2.2
Anyone else noticed this?

I have 245 apps installed on my Note 2 and it screams.
I showed to one of my coworkers, who has the S3, and he was commenting on how much faster it was than his phone.
So I'm not sure what the problem is there. Some sort of horrible bloatware?

I hate lag & hope the reviews are correct that the Note2 is a game changer for Android sans the dreaded lag but did notice some YouTube Videos on ways to address stock device lag:

Not sure why the thread would need to be closed. The Op was simply asking a question based on his experience in a store. Some people need to relax!

I agree, some people take things a little to close to heart. But anyway in reply to the OP, I think that it was most likely because of everyone that uses the phone that goes through the store. I guarantee that thing has so many apps running in the background. If you go again, I say try to reboot it, and if you can't do that, try and close out as many apps as possible.
Obvious troll thread imo or the OP is a typical iPhone user in wich case he is not to blame as iPhones prevent you from using your brain
In defense of the OP I would say that I have noticed a very occasional lag once or twice when something has been running. For example running the premium version of printer share caused a massive drain on resources including battery and caused my device to hiccup. Also, I have noticed slowdowns with s-planner and netflix - both have frozen on me forcing at the least a force-close of the app and once a force reboot.
So, before too many people start jumping on the 'It's a troll, run for the hills' bandwagon, perhaps take a minute to realise that the stock device, while being simply awesome, fast, smooth and generally amazing is not completely bug free.
Just a thought.

My point exactly...
I had the same experience in the Vodafone store, the note 2 on display almost came to a halt. I tried holding down the home button to see if there were many apps running but it wouldn't even bring up the task manager. Now I KNOW the note 2 is a beast but an 'average' consumer might have been put off by it.
I still can't make my mind up between this and the S3 LTE version that also comes with 2GB RAM.
Oh come on guys, these in store demo unist are left on for days and days and days without reboot, people mess around with them all day, they are a prime example of a phone at its worse, ram usage will be high, apps won't have been closed properly or at all etc etc.
Dude, turn off Power Saving mode.

Well my G Pad is always lagging when I unlock the device, also when I move around icons in the homescreen the lagg is severe, it's like 5 fps or close to. It's weird because the lagg is always there when i do one of these things I mentioned. Also some widgets like for the calendar-widget is laggy too. Annons else having this? Is there something I could do to remove these laggs?

I do not have any lag like you describe sounds like you may have a bad device?
Take a video of it. Easier to see than to read and try to imagine.
Hmm, I don't think it's a bad device because I have had another one that have been replaced. It had bad sound through the speakers. The thing is that the previous G Pad had the same lag. I have the black model but that should not be the problem I think. I will try to post a video shortly.

I've made two quick videos, sorry for the bad filming and such. Hope you don't get seasick
Homescreen lag:
http://youtu.be/Cmotf9dr4bs
Lockscreen lag:
http://youtu.be/-OECYvABcpg
The homescreen lag is more noticeable than the lockscreen. Indeed I checked mine as soon as I watched your vids and saw the difference.
Can something be done by the retailer? I guess available mem. is always enough, right? In PC terms that would seem like hardware lacking in power(/performance).
Looks like LG's launcher software is not very efficient. Fortunately, I don't spend a lot of time rearranging icons. I would guess that using a different launcher might fix the homescreen problem.
No lag here

The homescreen lag is something I can live with but it's not good for the uses experience as whole. But, the lockscreen is very anoying! I find the lockscreen lag very annoying, in approximately 90% of cases it is there. Can this be fixed with root some how? Don't get me wrong here, i do love this tablet but the lockscreen lag... I will just turn off the lockscreen but I just don't get it, the G Pad has really good specs so this should in theory never happend right?
My G Pad doesn't lag like yours.
You said that both of your units had the same problem, that's weird.
Haven't you installed an app on both devices that could interfere with the launcher and produce that lag because that's not the regular behaviour of the G Pad.

My thoughts exactly. Was it like this out of the box?
Well I have some news on this issue. First of all the lag is not there out of the box, I did a factory restore. When I use the LG backup service app to restore my G Pad the state before the factory reset, the lag was once again there. As you can see in my videos I have the calendar-widget placed on my homescreen. If I remove that widget the homescreen lag disappear completely, and the lockscreen lag is drastically decreased and is barely noticeable. So there you have it! For me the lag was caused by the calendar-widget!
Good news ! I advise you to use an alternative launcher anyway (Nova is great)
Has anyone noticed a 2 to 3 second lag when launching an app?
No, not at all. I don't know of any other solution then preforming a full wipe and restoring either a fresh stock image or a custom rom. That way you definitely know any wrong settings/abusive apps are gone.
Are you only noticing in certain apps? Have you modified in any way?
I would suggest ditching the LG Launcher and trying Google Now Launcher/Nova or Apex or something of that type. I did that on mine and it seems a lot more responsive.
Let me know if you need any more help.

The other option worth trying is to go to Developers option and set the animation to 0.5x and see if that made any difference.
I notice it with the stock messaging app, there is a good 2/3 second lag before it launches. Really annoying. Perhaps it could be to do with increased DPI at a guess?

Stock messaging app is slow to open as can be when opened up initially. Subsequent runs are okay.
For this reason I switched to another messaging app (Textra in this case).
thanks for all the replies.
i'm already running Nova and always turn down animations to .5x after I get a new phone
strange that nobody else is experiencing the same issue
I've had my note 4 for a couple weeks now, and I have to say that the phone is not as powerful as I expected. Whenever I run a resource heavy app, the phone experiences severe lag after exiting the app. For instance, the Caustic app, which is a music mixing app, runs descent on my note 4 but after exiting the app the launcher becomes very stuttery and laggy. I loaded the phone up with Nova launcher prime, and it does work better, yet still lags. I have clean master installed, and I've gotton notifications from it a couple times telling me the RAM is above 80% and the CPU is hot.. I've always been under the impression that clearing processes from RAM on Android is a no no, but as a last ditch effort, I went ahead and did it anyway. Over all, I'm not happy with the phone performance. My 2013 nexus 7 performes better, and this is supposed to be a beefier device as far as hardware is concerned.. Should I take the phone back to AT&T?

What other apps have you seen this with?
As I have not used caustic I cannot say if it does the same.
Is that app caustic 3?

Yes, the app that's causing me the lag is caustic 3. The only other app that had caused the same stutter is Fit Brains Trainer by roseta stone.. Are you having problems too?

So I tried caustic not sure how long but it does lag the launcher after exiting. (nova launcher)
Also after reboot every thing is running smoothly again and started caustic again and it does not lag after exiting ~5mins of running (maybe I didn't leave it running as long or what not I'm not sure but that's all I can observe so far)
Hope that helps you a bit.
This is exactly why we need the ability to flash custom roms on Samsung devices. The out-of-the-box experience sucks. The phone performs night and day on a custom rom.

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it. My girlfriend has an AT&T Note 4 as well. I loaded hers up with the caustic app, and had the same laggy results. Yea, sometimes after exiting the app, the lag is so bad I have to reboot, other times a simple screen lock and unlock takes care of it, and other times there is no lag at all. When I was using the touch wiz launcher it caused lag everytime.. Nova launcher is working much better, but still not satisfactory..IMO, if I have what is considered to be one of, if not the most powerful smartphone currently, I shouldn't be dealing with this at all.. I think after this phone I'll stick with nexus devices.. Even though I said the same thing after my Galaxy S4, and somehow got sucked into the hype on this phone..

I think it's probably just Samsung bloatware interfering with phone function.
Personally I don't think it is a deal breaker just keep an eye out for those apps it may not be 100% compatible with our phones.
You may want to report the issue to the developer of Caustic. It could just be a software glitch isolated to this phone.
I personally haven't had the chance to see this phone lag at all and I definitely use it very heavily.

Do you use a cleaner app? I use clean master, and about once or twice a day I get a notification from clean master telling me the phone is preforming poorly, and ram is over %80. This usually occurs when I have a few apps open, and I usually do experience minor lag leading up to this. I allow clean master to wipe the ram, then reboot the phone and all is well for a while. This is very discouraging..

While a bit counterintuitive to what we have been seeing on windows etc.
This phone is designed to use all of its ram.
It should not lag while doing it and apps that causes it to lag is probably dev error so make note of those apps and keep an eye out for it.
Ram is not being used unnecessarily android purposely stores cached in ram to allow it to load faster.
It is not the app's fault. I made a thread about this same exact behavior a couple weeks ago but not a single person responded. Jittery, laggy performance after exiting a game or other graphics intensive app. Only thing that would get rid of it was a reboot.
I got a PM from Samsung Support about it though which surprised me. I think they may be aware of some type of issue.
It happened for me after two different apps closing so it's not your app. And it doesn't happen after every closing either. The jittery behavior is not limited to the launcher either. Next time it happens open another app and scroll, like the browser. It was terribly choppy.
The good news is Samsung reached out to me which is always a positive sign for fixes.

Yea, definitely not the apps fault. I've confirmed this by installing the same app on my Nexus 7 and Galaxy S4; the app runs fine on those two devices without any lag as a result. It may be compatability issues with the newer qualcom chip, or possibly all of the bloatware on the phone weighing things down. These ideas are all speculation on my part. It's good to hear that Samsung is aware of the issue. Please keep us posted on anything new in regards to the issue. Just an FYI, I've replaced Nova Launcher with the Google now launcher, and for the last 3 days the phone has been running remarkably smoother. Hopefully lollipop will fix these issues.. Root would definitely be nice.

If I get any updates I'll make sure to inform you all. I'm using Nova and it seems pretty fast. Were you having issues with it that made you switch to Google? Or is Google Launcher just that much better?

I was having some minor issues with Nova Launcher. I was getting random crashes, where Nova itself was actually crashing, which was a first for me. I was also getting some lag while scrolling, opening and closing apps. When I use Nova Launcher, I tweak allot of the settings, so that may have had something to do with it, but I've used Nova Launcher for the last year and a half on my Galaxy S4 w/o any problems.. Google now launcher doesn't have any options for customization of any kind, but it has been very smooth and effective.
