Slow switching between recent apps on Q? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

On android 9, switching between running apps was lightening fast, but on 10 it seems that they are dropping from memory and must be loaded again.
This is annoying, do you have the same situation on your devices?

Google 10 has a memory leak issue ever since the betas and still hasn't been fixed. Hopefully in the next update it'll be fixed.

Horrible lag after running Super Hexagon

Sometimes when I launch Super Hexagon, the game runs terribly slow. It feels like it's running at 15-20 FPS instead of 60 FPS. The weird part is that this lag persists after I exit the game. The whole system becomes super slow with choppy animations.
I've tried killing the app and even clearing the data, but the only thing that seems to fix this is a reboot. I can reproduce this behavior after rebooting again. It usually happens on the 2nd or 3rd time I launch the app, but sometimes it can take up to 10 times of closing and launching. Holding the tablet vertically seems to trigger it faster (although I'm not completely sure if it's related yet).
I'm running completely stock KOT49H and version 1.0.5 of Super Hexagon.
I haven't been able to reproduce this on my Nexus 4 or my old Nexus 7 (2012).
Can anyone else confirm that this happens on their Nexus 7 (2013)? I'm just wondering if it's a bug/compatibility issue or if it's a problem with my device
Just a quick update: Tried changing to ART with and flashing the latest franco kernel (just to experiment), and it still happens in the exact same way

I know this is a late response but I had the same thing happen to me twice tonight and I found your thread while googling for the issue myself.
Force closing the app doesn't help. It seems I have to reboot to fix it.
Have you by any chance figured out a fix? I'm running a 2013 n7 completely stock

Haven't found a fix yet
It's clearly a software issue though, either with the game or the latest N7 2013 build. Maybe someone who's more skilled could check the debug log (or something) to figure out the cause.
Hey
EDIT:
to fix this problem, open your favorite file explorer..
navigate through android/data/(superhexagon package file name)
go to settings.dat
change vsync from 1 to 0

I confirm, the only solution is to reboot... Very annoying if it happens while you break a record
Wow, I am astonished by Google. It has been over a year now and this problem STILL exists, I am having the exact same problem as described in the OP with several apps. How come this problem gets so little attention? Should be well known by now.
All those fancy design changes but who cares about actual system stability.
^What apps? I've never had this problem and this is my first time reading about it.
It's up to the app developer to keep their **** updated to work well with new versions of android. Nothing to do with google.

No way apps are supposed or even able to mess with the whole system like that and this bug doesn't happen on other devices like nexus 5 with the same apps so it's obviously just the device. I mean did you even read the thread you ignorant prick? The thread creator said too that he can't reproduce it with other devices such as Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 2012.

Snapchat lag on the 5X

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you have had any lag with Snapchat on the 5X. I have had problems with Snapchat from since I got the phone at launch, updated the app a few times and I have the current version. Half of the time it works smoothly, and half the time it is a mess, laggy and freezing when swiping between the camera/stories/etc. It's worst when I have FB Messenger chat heads on. It also makes the whole phone lag even when it's in recent apps but not open.
I have a 32GB version (I doubt this makes any difference), rooted with TWRP but no real modifications. Is this a marshmallow issue? I've never had this problem in the past on 5.1.1 and prior (Nexus 5, Oneplus One, Moto G, Xperia Z3C among others).
Thanks all.
I'm with you dude. The Nexus 4 had a camera hardware defect that would freeze the phone once every few pictures. I will be furious if SnapChat come up with a "GOOGLE'S FAULT NEXUS 5X HARDWARE PROBLEM" excuse again.
Exactly the same issue as me. I use snapchat almost every day and its a ridiculous mess. My sister has a Moto G 3rd Gen with 2GB of RAM and it is so smooth. So I don't understand why it hasn't been optimized for the 5X yet, no reason for all this lag! Several times its locked up my phone and won't exit to the home screen.

I still have my Xperia Z3 Compact and I have no issues with it. It's ridiculous. No other app gives me problems.
I thought I had some issues but I noticed the same thing in Stock and Chroma using ElementalX. I notice the IO usage in my system monitor hits nearly 100 MB/s for 3-4 seconds while the phone locks up.
Same. I am part of the beta and posted bug reports about lag and freezes on the 5X and 6P (idk if the 6P has the issue). I doubt it will do anything, but doesn't hurt to let out my frustration
I have the same issue. Hope this is something a Snapchat update can fix
Same problem with my 32GB version N5X, not only thirdparty apps, but also the Google camera app. I don't want to use the camera any more and I miss my Nexus5 with marshmallow which works so smoothly.

I'm in the same boat. Rebooting fixes it temporarily. It's a pain in the ass.
same problem with snapchat freezing and being incredibly slow while my 2013 n5 was always buttery smooth. also have other weird camera ****, like vivino capturing pictures upside down and ****. really really irritating and basically my only problem with the n5x
Just got the 9.19.1.0 Beta and it seems to be working better. I'll need to give it a couple hours to see if the usual lag kicks in.

Seemed like a lot of people are having the lag issue with N5X camera. Google should fix this problem, otherwise I want to get a refund.
Google camera lags not only within the app itself but also slows down the Android system.
I have already contacted google to get a replacement. Hopefully the new phone doesn't have camera issue.

Does that mean this is a hardware issue which cannot be fixed by new FW? Bad news for me, I'm in PRC and I bought my n5x through an unusual way, it's almost impossible to do RMA.[emoji24]

I hear you all. Same problem with Snapchat here.
Considering a uninstall.
Disabling access to the camera actually fixes it. But then again..
me too i have the same issue laggy and freezing since i bought the phone and when th
me too i have the same issue laggy and freezing since i bought the phone and when they download the update 6.0.1 the problem still the same I don't know why still and sometimes the camera app laggy I hope is anyone can help us with issue really I felt bored from the phone
So I am a power snapchat user and had this same problem and might have accidentally stumbled on a possible solution after having a login failure. I enabled the travel mode so it's not downloading constantly. I installed snapprefs and I can't explain why but it's flying now. No lag on window switching or opening the camera. I'm on 6.0.1 December rooted
I'm on 6.0.1 and Snapchat version 9.20.5 with Snapprefs installed.. the app is almost unusable.
It's definitely app-side issues because I too suffered from terrible lag and stuttering on Snapchat only for a long, long time but then a few updates seemed to fix it. Now it's back to being bad again with MM 6.0.1...... hopefully they will fix it soon
any issues with snapchat still?

Still issues.
In general my 5X seems to lag when the camera is in use
I was having these major snapchat issues while on stock and while on some of sonicron's tweaks to the ElementalX kernel, however snapchat has been purring along ever since I went to the PureNexus ROM (includes it's own kernel, not sure if there is anything special about it). Used snapchat all weekend during my partying and not one issue with no reboots required.

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?

Optimized...
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.

Which model? N950u ?
N975F
Looks like it's happening on Snapdragon variants as well.
Just updated two days ago.
Mobile PUBG is lagging.
I have same problems. when i scrolling screen it's lagging. Before the update i have not any problems.
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.

After the update to Android 10, the phone has a lot of lag

just updated to android 10 and no problem but very very very laggy on animation and ram management
it's horrible
but today my phone suddenly restarted without me even touche it
and after it boots up everything is so so good and snappy
now it just amazing and so fast
do you guys know what just happened
I checked the update section and there was no auto-update
Yes, I have the same issue. I think this is a common problem with this android 10 update. It starts lagging, you restart and it stays fine for a couple of days, then the lag comes back.
Same here, the lag got so annoying that I was thinking to factory reset the phone (keeping custom rom as the last option). But good to know that restating the phone helps, will see how long does it take until I need to restart again.

Try disabling the Google asistant (select none) in the Default apps section of the APP settings, worked for me big time.

Android 12 on V50 sucks

Ever since upgrading to 12 on my Verizon Android 12 the phone has been sluggish and glitchy.
Every single thing opens slowly or is unresponsive for a bit.
I had no issues on Android 11.
I tried resetting the phone and without restoring the phone is still sluggish (though a bit better).
Apps launch slowly and the overall snappiness of the phone is very bad.
Is there a way to downgrade to Android 11?

Same here!! I've been searching for a fix... Don't seem to be an easy one available yet..?
After the phone quit downloading all the crapware the phone got much faster on Android 12 (after the reset).
I'd still rather download and install the 11 ROM. But it is 3GB and the lgup download location is transferring at 10kbps so it's gonna take a week or two to download lol.
See my cross-post here:
Android 12 on V50 is terrible
I upgraded a month or so ago. The phone became sluggish and glitchy apps took forever to launch scrolling Facebook became jittery. Terrible update. I then finally backed up my phone and reset it. Now the fresh install is randomly installing apps. I am so sick of android/Verizon installing...

Welp.
I had major problems with g'board after the android 12 os upgrade.
I tried using a separate keyboard; it wasn't better.
keyboard would refuse to launch in my messenger+ app amongst other apps.
Later, once I reset the phone to factory the keyboard problem was reduced. But it has slowly grown in frequency until I had to uninstall g'board and use LG keyboard. That worked for a bit, until the same thing happened. I now have zero keyboards that show up when I am trying to type a message.
Yay thanks Android12/LG (( Booo stupid update is bad.
