Notification bar freezes while gaming - LG G8 Questions & Answers

It happens only when I open some games like PUBG or Real Racing. For example I want to change brightness. I make a swipe down and I see that bar lags. Then I make a swipe right to increase brightness and it lags and freezes terribly.

Touchscreen sensitivity lagging

Anyone else seem like touchscreen sensitivity on P6 i a bit laggy ? But to understand by what i mean with laggy you must have had a snappy phone before that... It's like for example on the app drawer (i use apex launcher), or anywhere that you have to scroll, you move your finger like 1 cm before the screen actually starts scrolling... Any thaughts on this ? And please do not recommend any app from Google Play, i have tried them all and no improvement. Attached screenshots of my homescreen and app drawer. May i mention that all the settings in my phone are optimised or speed, like drom the developer menu animations and all the rest are set to off, in apex launcher all animations are off, gloves mode on/off, nothing works

There is something wrong with the GPU drivers I believe, our gpu doesn't only suck at 3D but it sucks horribly at 2D also (even SGS2 has better 2D performance). For example a very simple process for the GPU to render: try pulling down the notification bar - it just feels sluggish and not snappy at all on the P6 compared to even the SGS2. Vivante is horrible and Huawei has to do something about it (either release the drive sourcecodes or improve the GPU ALOT.

Disable softkey may effect performance?

Hi guys
Recently I just found when I have my softkey disabled,the touch screen and system performance drop significantly
So here's a video I recorded
You can see with softkey the frame rate is at around 60
And when I switch to immersive mode(Yes,both disable or immersive are the same),it starts to lag and stutter
Maybe this is not an issue for most of people
But for people like me who prefer using Pie or LMT,it is pretty painful
I wonder if we can fix it with some tweaks?
Perhaps it's a immersive mode issue. Try "auto hide soft keys" app from the play store. I use it, and it has never caused issues. ?
I prefer LMT pie as well but never run into a problem with lag

Is there room at the top for notification icons? Either side of the notch?

Tempted to buy a g7 play, but notification icons are important to me, so is there any room at the top for notification icons?
Also what is the memory management like with 2gb?

Yes there's room for notifications but when there's a lot you will only see one then a dot which means there's a few and ram management is great for a 2gb ram all depends which apps you have running I have all the stock Google that come installed Reddit Twitter XDA WhatsApp Spotify and Netflix and 3 emulators and it doesn't bog down or lag only tweaks I've made is reduce animations to 0.5.
Brilliant Ty for that, sounds great.
I also like to see all notifications at the top bar, so I disable the notch in developer options (Display cutout > Hide). With this option, the area where the camera and the speaker are between is not used anymore, and the notification bar starts just below it, using all the screen width as any other phone. I don't even see it as a "waste of screeen area" because they are just two small areas which are annoying to reach for notifications, and when watching videos or using a fullscreen app in landscape mode it looks like the speaker and the front camera are invading the screen (ugh). Besides that, many videos don't even have the 19:9 ratio. As you can see, I really don't like the notch, but I'm cool with buying a phone that has it as long as I can "cut it out" of my way
Regarding RAM usage: firstly, I'd like to remember it will only affect multitasking and possibility to play very heavy games (if gaming is your concern, I suggest you look up if a specific game runs or how it performs on 2GB RAM. Processing will hardly be the concern, since it has a decent chipset). I've used several apps at the same "task" switching between them (commonly 3 or 4, but sometimes even more), and none of them restarted. If I'm using chrome with several tabs, at least the last used app won't restart if I switch. And when an app needs to be reloaded, It does so very fast. And I also use the "one button navigation bar", so I rapidly switch back-and-forth between two apps by swiping left on it. I like it a lot

Random blue light over navigation bar

this might be a weird problem or question, but I have this random blue light flashing slowly over navigation bar when I'm on a game in landscape screen, such as Heir of Light or Mobile Legend. I use the hidden navigation bar type instead the one that taking extra space. I wonder if it's coming from 3rd party AoD I used before, such as Notification Light or Always on Edge, but I have them both uninstalled already, I wonder if it's coming from them because previously I never saw this blue light over my navigation bar. I noticed several things about this light:
This light appears few seconds after I opened a game that is on landscape mode which hides the navigation bar. The light will flow surrounding the navigation bar area for around 2 times then it will disappear completely.
It only appears once on every restart, so if I open the same game later, it won't show until I restart my phone and open the game again.
I've tried to see if it comes in other app so I tried on Whatsapp and Firefox browser on landscape mode but the light didn't show up at all
I'm concerned with the battery this light consumes so I also checked what's running my battery life but I didn't find any unusual app running or hard-consuming my battery
Does anyone have any idea what this light is? or anyone else having this problem? What I want to know is where this light is coming from and is there any way to turn it off? because I really don't like unnecessary app consumes by battery...
I have attached a screenshot about how it looks like, any kind of help would be appreciated.. thanks in advance
SOLVED:
Thanks to chirogan that mentioned this is actually coming from the Game Booster feature

Do you want to disable it?
While playing a game, make the navigation bar appear and youll see a game booster icon in the lower left corner. Click on it and youll see monitoring temperature and memory icon. Click on it. Then click on Auto Control and disable it. Youll notice that the blue light will be gone because it doesnt optimize your apps anymore.

It's a possibility.. but this light doesnt just show on any app.. it only appears on games that take landscape and full screen that force hide the navigation bar.. I tried to see if it appears on YouTube app but it didnt.. it also doesnt show on portrait games.. im wondering if this has something with Game Tools or Game Booster or anything that triggers when the user plays games on full screen to let them know 'where' the navigation bar is but not sure yet Beside, if it's from firmware, I expect to already see this light from the latest OTA I got on September, instead I only noticed this light few days ago when I also happened to try some 3rd party AoD apps, which also I uninstalled immediately after play around and checking out how they look

Have you rebooted your phone after uninstalling those apps?
Look for a app called "Game Launcher" it may have some settings ticked to do that.

Are you using any of those GoodLock apps? If I am not wrong there was something like this in one of those apps.

I am using some of GoodLock apps I got from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/themes/appssamsung-goodlock-2019-pie-apps-t3958121 , but not all of them. only these:
LockStar - for Lockscreen style
NiceShot - for Screen recording
QuickStar - for Status bar and Notification style
ClockFace - for custom clock on lockscreen
I also got One Hand Operation+ but it's from Galaxy Store. I could understand if I have some GoodLock apps for navigation bar, but I didnt install NavStar or any 3rd party app for navigation bar since I dont use the "button" style at all because it's taking more space of my screen

Can you try to disable or uninstall One Hand Operation+ to be sure? I think it causes it.

Its not a bug. Its an application called Game Booster.
What Game booster does is to control and monitor the Temperature and Memory. Once it detects that the application is heating or consuming too much memory, it optimized the phone by closing apps, adjusting brightness and other things that god only knows what. This is to prevent your app from over heating and forcr closing due to memory issues. Once optimization occurs, thats when the blue light over the navigation bar appears. In theory, it does the opposite of what you think. It optimizes the phone in such a way that it prevents abnormal usage in battery and memory to give the best experience in gaming. But sometimes it compromises the app by throtthling the game when it needs a boost in CPU and GPU. It depends on the application on when youd like to activate or disable this feature.
Do you want to disable it?
While playing a game, make the navigation bar appear and youll see a game booster icon in the lower left corner. Click on it and youll see monitoring temperature and memory icon. Click on it. Then click on Auto Control and disable it. Youll notice that the blue light will be gone because it doesnt optimize your apps anymore.
Edit: out of topic question. Do you experience frame drops in mobile legends? Especially when switching from one app then back to mobile legends?

Thanks for this.. it's just as u said, the blue light is coming from the Temperature Control, once I toggled the auto control on/off the blue light is there.. now that u mentioned it I remember I recently updated Game Booster few days back.. Now I know where the light is coming from.. Thanks again.. :fingers-crossed:
I used to get lot of Frame Drop few weeks ago after this latest update with the "new form of spells", I could barely play anything.. but I didn't do anything tbh and just keep playing until now, and it's way better now. There is still some Frame Drops but it's only when super heavy stuff going on at once in the game, compared to the first time I experienced it, it's so light now even tho I didn't try to do anything to fix it.

Thanks for the confirmation too. I used to have a lot of frame drops but it was due to Game Booster and Game Optimizing Service not working well. After the update, it improved the performance significantly but there was only one bug left. It was when switching from the Game to another app, then going back to the game, it causes the game to start frame Dropping.
Hopefully it makes the update better on the coming days.

Question How to add a gesture that raise luminosity to 100%?

I usually turn off the auto luminosity because I don't like it changing when inside.
The punishment is that when I go outside in a sunny day, I see nothing on the screen and I would like to fix it without fumbling for minutes trying to find a dark corner in the street so that I can raise the luminosity again. Something like gesturelike, for instance finger.s moving up the screen raise luminosity.

This one asks too much privilege for my taste (only my passsword manager has accessibility access rights). I'd rather have something in the OS do that because I think apps will need accessibility access to capture gestures !?
