Are you noticing lag after 4.0.2 update?

I'm not talking major lag, just a tiny bit when browsing the apps deck or widgets.

Yes, especially when scrolling through the Widget screens. Also had 2 Launcher force closes since flashing 4.0.2 Yesterday. Hope 4.0.3 will take care of that..

Yeah I noticed that as well... it's very slight, but it was noticeable for me right away.
Did you guys have yakju from the start? or switched over from another build?

I immediately noticed it with the keyboard. Slightly annoying .

Same here. GO Launcher is really bad. Stock is a bit "sticky" too.

You guys need to go into settings, into developer options and turn on " Force GPU rendering". It will speed things up.

I've had 2D HWA on since day 1
I'm about to flash mikes 2.1.1 been waiting for it heard its supposed to be much smoother, that's the feedback so far. Mikes ROMs are always top notch

Yep, I rolled back to 4.0.1.

Maybe one of the reasons for crashing was the acceleration and they disabled something to cure it but made worse. Sigh.

Switched to the latest version of the 4.0.1 stock build, and things are back to normal again. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't in my head lol
I think I'm gonna wait it out with this image till google releases 4.0.3. Because they obviously broke something in 4.0.2 :S

the only lag Ive really experienced is with google voice commands. After hitting thehome screen button you have to wait a second before hitting the microphone- if you hit it right away nothing happens. Maybe a little lag with the keyboard in the firt 30-45 seconds the phones on but thats it for me. Now signal thats another issue and that ones annoying.

It has to do with the CPU governors, not everyone seems to be experiencing the lag issue which is weird. Got 15min left on mikes 2.1.1 will see if his release runs better, if not restoring to 4.0.1 until 4.0.3

Just rooted mine and my speed issues seem to be gone on 4.0.2. No idea as to why that is.

I too noticed this on the homescreen, browsing apps/widgets, web browsing... I use a live wallpaper and when I scroll to the left or right the live wallpaper stutters and just pressing the home button repeatedly while on home screen... the live wallpaper stutters...
like someone else said... I think it's something to do with the adjustments they made to the CPU governor
Just upgraded to it 10 minutes ago

Android nub question alert: lots of people here flash in a moments notice, so are you backing up your settings/apps/data etc using some app to restore after flashing? If so, what r u using?
Thanks

I personally use MyBackupPro, works great for me. Titanium Backup is a very good app as well. Also suggest to always do/have a Nandroid Backup to go back to just in case.
UPDATE: Anybody that's interested, 2.1.1 eliminated most of the lag I was experiencing on Stock 4.0.2.

thank you sir!

Few problems after updating to Marshmallow

Hello!
My current problems after updating to 6.0 are:
-Battery (!) one of the serious problems, the battery just drains like crazy, Chrome take 1-3% every few minutes, i cant use the phone more then 1.5-32hours in average. even less, use.
-The phone became much slower since the update. It is no as smooth as it used to be
My phone is currently at stock rom, I udpated via OTA update and now the phone is barely usable.

Same here.

Make sure you have the latest version of Chrome installed.
Use Greenify or Kin or both to help shut down apps in the background when not needed.

I have the latest version of Chrome installed already.
The problem is mostly when im USING Chrome so Greenify wont be a big help here, btw i dont have root so its not so much effective without it.

after downgrading to LP, i got my 3hrs minimum screen on time. The phone barely heats and the performance became much better.
The problem is with the MM update i guess.
Hope it helps you.

Update to MM and do a factory reset right after and restart your phone, should be smooth sailing after a couple of charges.. No lag or batt drain here

[Q] How is your experience with Nougat so far?

Hello all,
As the title says, what is your opinion about Nougat? After reading so many bug related posts here and in reddit, im frustrated to update to the newest version of android. How does it compares to marsmalow in terms of battery, performance and bugs? Is it safe to update now, of do your suggest to wait a little longer for a bugfix update? And finally, if your suggest me to update, do your recomend any custom rom/ kernel?
Thanks in advance.

Fine, I love my 5X, but there are some bugs that I have:
*In Whatsapp audios or call if I put my face in the phone (or simple if I cover the distance sensor) the screen goes black and I can't turn on again...maybe if a press the power button 3 times the screen turns on. that is REALLY annoying!, I dont know if is a software problem or if my tempered glass is the real problem...
*The screen rotates very easy...sometimes I move my phone just a little and the screen rotates...
*When screen turns off it doesnt fade "slowly"...its something cosmetic but I dont like it haha

Hm, i dont use whatsapp so i dont mind if there is a bug about it. Do you have the same problem during calls too? Also, what about battery and performance?

I have these bugs:-
1. I have a problem with the battery percentage toggle, i change it to like "everytime" but sometimes it auto switches back to "only when charging", in 6.0.1 there was only an option to show percentage which worked fine.
2. I also have a problem after sep security update the swipe up from overview to open multiwindow doesnt work, it is on in the settings tho, it worked on the first 7.0 aug security one but now it doesnt.

This features disable automatically when you go to System ui tuner. Just enable it and don't touch this settings.

Also, I have a bug with double icon of alarm clock in status bar, like on screenshot. Reboot can fix it.

I think i can live with a few bugs. What about the more important things like battery life and performance? How do they compare to marsmalow?

I recently reverted back to marshmallow, I was getting horrible battery drain. Like 10℅ an hr while in my pocket. I had to leave it on battery saver mode if I wasn't going to be near a charger. But besides that it's awesome, love all the new features.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

For me, unlocking the device harder. I have to swipe further in order to do it, and it also happens when I want to swipe a notification at the lock screen.
In addition Spotify song playing from google now through an Android Wear does not work unless the Nexus is unlocked.
Finally, battery life is not really god in my case.

After reading your replies, i decided to stay in marsmalow for a couple of months. Thanks everyone

It's only been a couple days for me but everything is working well on the stock OTA update so far.
I like the new features and Doze is working brilliantly again so there is a noticable improvement to battery life.

Lag and stutter. HTC, what happened?

Hello XDA people,
I bought unlocked HTC 10 few days ago and I am really disappointed by using HTC software. I am coming from ultra debloated Galaxy S6 and touchwiz (I know you won't believe).
With HTC 10, I have lag and stutter all around - system apps and other play store apps... It is fast when opening apps but scrolling lag is present in every possible app, even Settings app. I have latest update and I have done factory reset after latest update but lag is still here. How is this possible for HTC device? As far as I know, they were always very fast and clean with their own Sense Android experience. What happened?

Did you buy new or used? I've had my unlocked 10 since launch I only really get lag with power saver turned on.

Btw I have official 2.41.401.41 and that is the latest version for international unlocked version.

Yes, why?

I have the same HTC10 WWE with same sw version.
Compared to HTC U11, HTC 10 is definitely slower on opening apps and scrolling. I confirm that in Facebook and Google Photos, the scrolling lag is there when the content hasn't fully loaded yet. But heavy lags like your description is not the case on mine, in setting app is butter smooth, no lag at all.
It is possible that you cleared all caches so that the loading speed is slower. You feels S6 is faster and probably it is the case because even Samsung has a relatively bad sw, but the hardware is top, USF 2.0 for S6 if I remember rightly meanwhile emmc5.1 for HTC 10. That's 2 times the speed difference.

Question Slower after Android 13/One UI 5 update. Anyone else?

It seems like the phone is ever-so-slightly-slower following the Android 13/One UI 5 update.
Splash screens of various apps consistently appear for a few split seconds longer than before. In fact, at least one app that used to launched instantly now shows a splash screen for a fraction of a second before launching.
Is this just my experience, or do others see the same thing as well?

Download good guardians from the galaxy store and over the app galaxy app booster. Ran it and look again

I found that upgrading from A12 to A13 slowed my phone down. Did a Factory reset and was so much better...

Galaxy app booster? Boost all app? Google?

Thank you.
But I'm trying to figure out if the small slowdown after Android 13 update is an anomaly or if most people experience it. Do you?

My phone came with Android 13/OneUI 5 preinstalled, but I later received an update with January security patch and I started facing issues after that update.
The scrolling works very bad, its like there are some ghost touches. When I scroll thru WhtasApp/Telegram chats, photos in gallary, webpages the scroll sometimes doesn't work, just like the screen didn't even register my touch. If I try to scroll fast, the scroll stops in between, just like a ghost touch or something.
I was also facing issue with fingerprint scanner when the phone screen is off for some time, but I got it resolved by removing existing finterprints. and registering new ones.
The scroll issue is a real bummer for me. I hope it get fixed with the next OneUI 5.1 update.

In Addition to what I listed above, I faced one more strange issue today. I received the January security patch AGAIN today. It's like before, the download size, update description, all is same.
The previous January security patch update I got was installed successfully, I could see it in the software section, I am not sure why I received same update again.

Can someone here please confirm if you are able to scroll faster? I mean, I have my old OnePlus 6 with me. If I do a simple test to scroll once in a telegram chat, OnePlus scroll backs to more number of chat messages compared to S21FE. The S21FE just scrolls to few lines.
Anyone observed same issue?

Yes. the scrolling on the S21 FE is much more stiff and "heavy" than my old J series Samsung phone. In addition, many screen taps aren't noticed by the phone, requiring me to tap again.
You should report it in the Samsung member app like I did. The more people who report these problems the bigger a chance that a patch will be issued.
