Hi all, I've had my Pixel 6 Pro since December and there's been one issue that preventing me from loving it. Nearly every 3rd party app (and some Google apps) has this stutter when scrolling. Just to be clear this is not the bug where it drops from 120hz to 60hz. It is very clearly running at 120 the entire time but there is some sort of dropped frames or screen tearing going on that makes it stutter. A lot of people can relate to this stuttering to how the Twitter and Reddit apps behave on Android. Except this is happening to so many apps I use which are not present when I compare it to someone's S21 Ultra. Apps such as play store, yelp, linkedin, google feed on the left of homescreen, google feed in chrome, netflix, uber eats, google news, and youtube all have this issue. There are apps that run like butter however such as settings, contacts, calendar, and keep so I know its possible. Does anyone else experience this? I have tried the December, January, February, and 12L beta 3 and there are not improvements. I just don't understand how so many people say this phone is butter when this stuttering is so jarring.

This is 100% not the norm. I've had two 6 Pro's (just got a replacement because of a weird haptic motor) and both have been fine. So, it sounds like either an app is causing this, or its a hardware issue. I recommend re-flashing 12L (after a wipe), and during setup, create a temporary gmail account (you can delete it later). install the worst 3 or 4 apps and see if it fixes it. It's the best way to troubleshoot your issue.
Or try ProtonAOSP with a temporary Google Account (just for a few hours). You need to get to the bottom of what's causing this. But you absolutely should NOT have to use a "ROM" to get a proper experience. We're just trying to troubleshoot here.
How many apps do you have listed in Settings -- Accessibility? can you disable all of them, restart and see if there is any change>?

I've reflashed 12L and tried ProtonAOSP but the stuttering is still there. This was with fresh install with no additional apps other than what came out of the box. Can you confirm that both your google feed and google news apps scroll perfectly smooth? This should be consistent across all Pixel 6s since it is a stock app.
I've had this issue since day 1.
Google feed stutters pretty badly, is probably the biggest offender on my end that stutters the most.

Yes, it is fine for me. No issues with stuttering on these apps. Can you take a video of what's happening? does it show up in a screen recording?

Here's a screen recording of me scrolling through Google feed, play store, news, and podcast. All stock apps that should perform perfectly but there is stuttering. If it's not too much trouble could you upload a similar video so I can compare?

Are you sure 120 is enabled under display? It sure looks like you are in 60hz mode
Also you state you have tried dec, Jan, Feb and 12L did ANY of those involve a CLEAN FLASH like a FULL WIPE or did you just update to them and call it broke.

It's hard to judge the footage, since it's a 296x640 24fps? 30fps? recording, but it seems that what you refer to as "stuttering" is merely the scrolling animation, bringing the scroll to a "halt". Pretty sure that it's intentional, but then again it's hard to judge, since the quality of the video you shared doesn't offer much room for interpretation. We would need solid footage with 60fps or more to understand what you refer to as stutter.

as others have stated, it's best not to share media with your google photos account. others might be able to upload a video to compare. If you do want to share video, use a free upload service like share.riseup.net, for images use postimages.org (there's probably other services some will suggest).
I think what your seeing is pretty normal. mine isn't much smoother, and I don't think there's anything wrong with your phone. The only way to know for sure is to compare to another 6 Pro in real life - but that might not be possible (unless you go to a store that has it on display).
also like other user has suggested, that video will look worse because it isn't a high frame rate or resolution.
Go to developer options and enable "Force Peak refresh rate" and turn the 3 animation scale options to 0.0 (the latter probably won't do anything for scrolling but try it anyway).
edit--
Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with your phone. I think that sometimes we're so fixated on scrolling animation. It's totally fine to, but the phone has so much to offer. I don't use the Google apps you've suggested. I also feel that if this is really important to you, maybe the S21/S21 is a better phone.

This video was made using the screen record quick toggle straight from the phone after a clean flash of 12L. Updated all stock apps in the play store so everything is up to date. Can't really get more clean than that. Also recorded the morning after so things have settled. I can assure you its running at 120hz and not 60hz. Now that I check on my computer I can see it doesn't playback with 120 fps. I guess google photos doesn't pick up the framerate.

Footage quality can be increased to 1440p but you're right that it doesn't pick up the fps on a desktop, if you watch from your phone (if you have a pixel 6 pro) then it should show 120fps. I'll try to record again using something else. I get what you're saying about the scrolling animation but I feel its more that than. When compared to a S21 Ultra its much smoother with no hiccups. The best comparison is scrolling through settings and scrolling through google feed or google news. You can't tell me those two feel the same.

Hi guys, I recently bought a galaxy tab s 10.5 and I'm having issues with video playback in the native YouTube app. Basically every 5-10 seconds, I would get a micro stutter, as if the video is slightly jittery. It's definetely not buffering as the video has loaded well ahead already too.
I am using the samsung stock OS so 4.4.2 and I have installed all the latest official updates for both the OS and the Youtube app.
I have also tried a factory reset of the machine, clearing the cache and updates for the Youtube app and reinstalling. I've also tried forced GPU rendering and turning off hardware overlays in developer mode
Does this indicate there's an issue with my hardware ? It does not happen when i stream videos from my PC over wifi or any locally downloaded videos. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hmmm, never had this problem with mine when it was on stock. I usually had this problem when I underclocked my cpus and all that or when I am using to many appps.
The only thing I can suggest is use another app (viral popup https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Mata.YTplayer ) or take it back to be safe.

Thanks, yep the youtube videos would stutter even when i freshly restarted the tablet so nothing else really is running in the background. I have tried the viral popup app except it seems to play at a really low quality setting, ,ie 1080p is not available ?
Is there anything I can test to see if its a possible hardware issue ? I ran the Antutu benchmark and got 37k which seems in line for what's expect from this tablet. Does this help rule anything out ? Thanks.
Check processes, there's probably something in the background.

I dont think so. When you play games does it lag too? Ex real racing 3 etc? Because if it cant play youtube without the micro lag, that may affect other apps. I dont get any lag while I was on stock.
If any other apps lag while playing (not on loading screens) then it may be an issue. I never had any micro lag on mine so it may vary on how you see it. Of course we have custom roms that are way smoother (CM12) but I am unsure if your issue is hardware related or the way you see it. Hope this helps!
I got youtube stuttering too for months on my TabS ST800, I tried every tricks in dev options, nothing ever changed .
But one day i tried the CARDBOARD view in the YouTube app options and then return to normal 2D view.... motion became butter smooth up to 1440p60, for any video! If closing youtube app and restarting it, it is stuttering again, until opening again the cardboard view.
Here is a test video I used to validate stutter-free playback :

You, sir, are awesome!!! I had this problem for the last couple of months on my Tab Pro 10.1, tried everything to eliminate it. Going back to Stock or GraveD rom was slightly better but not really smooth either. I was beginning to lose my sanity switching back and forth between CM11, CM12.1 and stock-rom, trying different developer-options but was not completely satisfied in the end. This cardboard-step is a temporary fix i can definitely live with. But I'm surprised that not many people seem to be effected by this stuttering or they simply don't mind at all. Hope that google is going to fix this shortcoming in the near future but meanwhile...Thanks a ton mister :good:!

I was so happy too I spent a night watching again many videos I love ! I'm glad I could share that little joy !
To answer your question, it is a shame that people are suffering from the belief that "online" videos on computer, tablets or phone *must* somewhat stutter. Well ... even trans-galactic communications in Star Wars/Trek and other sci-fi movies are depicted with stutter and even analog (!) video sync and lines issues (in 2150!!). Stutter and other digital disorders have been imprinted in the modern culture because not much effort was given to understand (and implement) that we human are analog creatures requiring a natural constant flow of sound and light, not a "best effort" variable low frame sample rate due to "unavoidable" system interrupts between storage, cpu, gpu and screen. Remarkably, Apple hardware/software was always close to perfection due to their close collaboration with the computer graphics industry for tv and movies..
It is indeed so much enjoyable when colors, contrast, motion of a clean picture hit the brain which then do not have to interpolate, filter dynamically and overcome an unpleasant stressfull and therefore tiring "motion picture"
So far only Sony with its X1 graphical processor in TVs is IMO able to achieve a minimum of digital artefacts while interpolating and displaying moving pictures. HD was a attempt to increase resolution (but we lost many qualities that the oldest of us enjoyed with CRT tubes). UHD must bring "better pixels" back with constant higher frame rate, higher pixel resolution and higher color resolution and dynamic range.
I hope to say bye bye soon to "flicks" = flickering judderish stuttering color-ish moving pictures.

Hi I just got my Redmi Note 5 Pro, everything works fine but one thing that I'm really frustrated with is when I'm watching videos (not photos) on native apps like Facebook, Instagram or Twitch, the video is super pixelated and horrendous even at highest quality chosen. However, when I try to visit these sites on browser (Chrome) and watch the video, everything works fine, the quality is perfect. Here is some sample screenshots that I've taken: https://imgur.com/a/BwyBL3z (notice the pixelated and border of the text, it's actually horrible)
And here is my phone specs (About phone): https://imgur.com/a/vhg2OY1
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this because of MIUI 10 or some problems with my phone?
More information: Youtube and Twitter in-app video seems to work fine, at least visually to my eyes. By the way, please don't tell me it's the internet issue because my internet is great and everything loads at highest quality option. Thanks for reading.

I think its a software issue and it sucks, try uploading something in Instagram (instagram stories) and experience the 3 fps video and the worst quality ever, I dont know why this happens, but I'm thinking of selling my xiaomi redmi note 5 pro, for these tiny but very important problems for me.

For the Instagram:
It is software issue, but not hardware-software problem, its more like software-rom problem, because i used to experience that too, atleast for the Instagram. But..... it was when i use MIUI 10, right after i tried custom rom, (i use PE) the problem is gone, and Instagram is capable to upload at the highest quality too (2k @ 60fps). So the conclusion is that, instagram not fully optimized for MIUI yet, because it has a lot of bugs in it. by the way, if you really wanted to fix that ig problem and dont want to change rom, i can suggest you to try GBinsta (look it up at google search you can find one), i dont know why, using the modded apk seems to work better at MIUI. So good luck, have a nice day :good:

Thanks for the advice. I tried Instagram version 51 and the upload quality is superb, and it sucks that such a great spec'd phone has so tiny annoying problems I even sent bug reports to Xiaomi via e-mail and didn't get a single reply, before this phone I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and the camera in snapchat was HORRIBLE to say the least. I think android in general has these problems, because when I use my friends iPhone 6S Plus, the picture quality or video quality in every app is superb, and video quality in apps like IG or Facebook is superb too. Literally thinking about switching to iPhone even though I love the freedom of android.
Thanks for your reply.

I have this problem across multiple apps in all Pie roms
Okay, im losing my mind with this problem. Watching videos on new S9 (Pie) on netflix is so dark i barely can see anything happening around. I have changed adaptive display, video enhancer but they do little or not anything at all. While Netflix is dark af Youtube on the other hand works perfectly fine regular and HDR content and yes, i have the 'best' netflix plan.

Okay found it from apkmirror, will try now.
Tested on three different version. One from mid december and one from november. Third one was so old (from march) that it directly said i need to update my Netflix app in order to proceed.
No luck with these, same problem persists.

I saw the same thing but that feels like generic notification or old. Could have been there for months.
I try to contact the chat support if i get anything out of there and post the info back here. I use netflix daily (talk about addiction) and i cant live with this issue
Okay, problem was my settings or viewing habits after all. I had to disable adaptive brightness and pump the brightness quite high which makes using the phone before sleep in bed quite horrible experience but when doing that the issue goes away most of the time. I need to check if changing colors to more yellow tint helps to overcome this new issue i just generated. Maybe i'm to used to use IPS/LCD displays which are bright but not like flashlight into eyes like HDR/Amoled.
In your display settings you have to turn in your AOMLED to Cinema mode when watching movies on Netflix and turn the contrast on high. Best results I've found this far.
Turn on video enhancer under advanced features. It works! I have a Note 9.
Temporary Fix
I was able to view content again that was not too dark to watch by uninstalling latest Netflix app and then installing v4.12.2 from apkmirror.
Netflix 4.12.2 from ApkMirror
Thanks jsomby and iskidoo2. So glad to know I'm not alone. I spent hours faffing around in my S9 settings (blue light filter, brightness, adaptive brightness, screen modes, etc, and Netflix subtitles on or off) and no combination of settings made a meaningful difference
I called Netflix support from the app yesterday and today about this.
Yesterday the agent was very nice but got stuck into the advice for "screen is black but I hear sound" which wasn't really the correct category.
After that call and learning from this thread about how to get older versions of apps, I tried two Netflix 6 versions which made no difference (current Play Store version is 7.26.1). Then I spotted iskidoo2's suggestion of 4.12.2. It worked! Thank you for giving me Netflix back!
I then took some pictures comparing the ancient Netflix app with the current one, even demonstrating the way the inset preview image is much less dim than the film itself when you're moving the red dot on the progress bar....
I called Netflix again today to be told it's a known issue with the S9 and streaming HDR titles, and they're working on it. Since this thread is over 6 months old I'm not sure if they're working on it exceedingly slowly, or if it was never properly acknowledged as a bug until recently?!
TLDR: thank you for this thread. I registered here to say that.

I didn't try the old version yet and some series are hard to impossible to watch in dim light (ie. bed) but i will look into that older apk. I also spoke with netflix support and 'solution' was to pump up the brightness but in bed that usually makes eyes hurt, otherwise no issues. There are couple of series in netflix that are pure agony to watch with this phone, one of these are 'The Ranch'. Colors are off and since are scenes are quite low contrast it makes watching really bad with S9.
Also there is this issue with blacks and how they leave trail when moving fast but that's for another topic and hw issue and not related no netflix only.
Here's the current app compared to the old one. I've not had to mess with any of my settings or adaptive brightness... the old one just works. Such a relief to suddenly see faces again rather than just lightbulbs surrounded by blackness.

Wow! You are a hero! It really works!
THANKS!! Finaly I have Netflix back...by using Netflix 4.12.2 from ApkMirror
I had the same issue with samsung note 10+. The screen went dark. Then I installed netflix 4.12.2 from apkmirror. The brigtness came back. Then update the app back to latest version from playstore. The latest version started working fine with proper brightness.
Ok guys. Netflix is incompetent. Here is a fix until the retards get it fixed. It's an HDR streaming problem. Brightness controls and what not seem to have little effect. Start a Netflix show that has this problem them picture in picture your netflix. While inpic in pic go to display settings and turn adaptive display on then turn brightness to high. Your netflix should be better now but still not how it should be in HDR. For some reason Netflix HDR is using adaptive brightness settings automatically and screwing things up
I had a similar problem with Netflix playback on the Android app being very dark and discovered that there is a brightness control in Netflix. When you are playing back a movie tap the screen to bring up the play/pause controls and on the left side is a brightness slider. This fixed the problem for me.
Guys, before you reply with any feedback, please read the following post and links in full. It would also help if you posted details of your device like the following, which is mine:
Model: SM-G9750 (Hong Kong S10+)
Build number: G9750ZHU1ASF1
Completely stock, no settings changed
Only YouTube Vanced installed (for testing purposes)

Summary: An intermittent stutter or lag (most notably during fullscreen 4K HDR playback, in my case) which only goes away when you activate certain screen recorder applications like Game Tools or AZ Screen Recorder.
Below is a list of posts that highlight this problem that I and a few others are experiencing. The common denominator here is the use of a screen recorder, which removes any present stutter or lag.

https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/b4nftn/snapdragon_s10_laggy_on_4k_youtube_playback/ (video evidence of problem)
The following two are from myself. My problem is that all 4K HDR content (could extend to other formats also but I need to do more testing) is stuttering or dropping frames. Screen recorder on and boom - it's smooth.
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/ch172q/snapdragon_owners_does_this_type_of_video_play/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/help/sm-g9750-video-playback-throttled-t3950757
The lag returns as soon as you deactivate screen recording, which suggests that this is either a bug with the CPU or GPU not being optimized or boosting its frequencies properly, leading to these stutters.
I've put Snapdragon in the title as these posts all appear to be from Snapdragon owners, whether it's the US or HK variant. I don't recall ever having this issue as a last generation S9 Exynos owner. If you are an S10/+/e Exynos owner and encountering this issue, you could still try using your phone normally, with a screen recorder active and then without, to see if there is any performance gain (as crazy as it sounds, it might actually make a difference).
Below is a test I'm using to demonstrate my problem. It involves installing apps (namely YouTube Vanced and either one of two screen recorders I've tested it with), so it's not the most convenient. If I find a better method, I will update the post accordingly.
You will need YouTube Vanced. I'm suggesting Vanced because the original YouTube app doesn't let you view at 4K resolution.
Firstly, open Vanced and tap the account icon in the upper right. Go to settings, Vanced settings, Video settings and then toggle Resolution Checks to ON. Refresh and restart the app.
Now open Game Launcher, tap the three dots in the upper right > Add apps and add YouTube Vanced to the list. We're doing this for the screen recording function which I'll mention later.
Note: if you don't have Game Launcher or Game Tools, you can try AZ Screen Recorder as an alternative. Nice Shot does not work.
Once that's done, here's a 4K 60fps clip for you to try. It should be easier to perceive any hiccups with the higher frame rate. Please set the resolution to 2160p (tap the three dots in the upper right) and watch in fullscreen / landscape orientation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ
Panning shots work best. For reference, see points 0:19, 0:46, 1:48, 2:14, 2:42, 3:04, 4:11 and 4:41 in the video. Does it look like it's stuttering or dropping frames intermittently?.
Now, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to show the navigation bar (you need the navigation bar enabled to use the recording function) and tap on Game Tools, which is the leftmost button. Tap Record.
While the screen is recording, are the stutters now gone? To my eyes, the video plays back perfectly while the recorder is active.

If you are not experiencing any such issues with your device, then congratulations, you have passed the test! Thanks for taking some of your time to provide valuable feedback :good:
Any non-constructive comments will be ignored and reported.
Yes and the solution is? To turn on video recording all the time ???????

Well if you have a better solution then I'm all ears? I left a similar post in the Q&A section and didn't receive a single reply. So I thought I'd post it here instead since it's more active.
We're still in the "Guides, News, & Discussion" forum, right? And technically this could even be a guide since I posted a solution, no matter how useless it may be
What resolution are playing those videos at?
I played the Peru 4k 60 @1080P one on youtube and it was great. Then played the same on Vance 1440 @60fps and it was same smoothness.

[email protected] is where I experience constant stutter. You will need to override resolution checks in Vanced to watch at that resolution: Tap the account icon in the upper right. Go to settings, Vanced settings, Video settings and then toggle Resolution Checks to ON. Refresh and restart the app.
Don't forget to try it with the screen recorder on please, to compare if playback is smoother.
Just realized you're on Exynos, so the issue might not pertain to you, though there's a chance I might be wrong in that regard. Thanks for testing though - more feedback is always welcome :good:

Lizard brain saw the GB flag and assumed you were an Exynos owner - my mistake! So you debloated your phone huh? Is something like Nice Shot or AZ Screen Recorder an option?
Here's a link for anyone wanting to download and test locally:

or
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dzndenwhk6ddboc/COSTA_RICA_IN_4K_60fps_HDR_%28ULTRA_HD%29.mp4/file
You will also need a screen recorder of some sort though, that's the most important step. Here's a few:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/nice-shot/
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-game-launcher/
update: Nice Shot doesn't work for this test.
Appreciate anyone else willing to try, of your own volition of course. Doing this purely to raise awareness on the issue and gather feedback.
I just tested this using the supplied download links for the actual video and AZ screen recorder.
In all honesty I couldn't see any difference between the video running with or without the screen recorder recording it. They both looked smooth. I was using the default video player to watch the downloaded video.

That looks like the Samsung video player, but no matter since the problem persists across other players too. MX Player in HW decoding seems to be the worst performing one for me.
Did you watch in landscape fullscreened? I keep forgetting to add that detail. If it was the same regardless, then I guess that removes the US Snapdragon from the equation. But thanks for taking the time to test, much appreciated :good: People probably think I'm bullshitting but once I find a concrete way to show what I'm experiencing, I will update this thread.
So far I've only had confirmation of this problem from two (yes, only two but it's still something!) other people, and they also happen to be owners of the HK S10+ variant like myself. If there are any other HK owners out there, I could really do with your feedback on this too!

Yes , I watched it in landscape mode, even compared the first few scenes where the camera pans etc with screen recorder on and off, couldn't tell the difference.
Maybe you could film the issue with a camera for us to see ?
Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Mx player with hardware decoding is no problem, smooth as butter. Snapdragon U1.
What does YouTube report with nerd stats turned on for the dropped frames line?
No offense but your premise is flawed at best. All you have done is made a subjective claim backed up by no legitimate measurable evidence..
Having people install screen recorders and play videos is not 'testing' anything..
Best of luck

That's been tried by someone already but the thing with these cross-comparisons is that they aren't conclusive enough for some people. For me it's crystal clear because I already know what to look for.
Here, this link was in the OP: https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/b4nftn/snapdragon_s10_laggy_on_4k_youtube_playback/
One on the left is HK S10+, Exynos S9+ on the right. Make sure it's in [email protected] so it's as clear as possible.
The most obvious thing is that the scrolling is laggy on the HK model, but if you look closely, the video is stuttering too (look at the zooming out shot at the beginning). Exynos is completely smooth.
Stuttering video is a big no-no for me, really should not be happening on a phone of this spec.

Okay fair enough my test isn't the most thought out, but if you have any better suggestions on how to demonstrate the problem, you're more than welcome to provide them.
Stats for nerds doesn't show dropped frames, so it's likely that any FPS monitoring software would be useless too.
No it's not a subjective claim because if you read through the post and links in full, you would see a number of people confirming the problem. Doesn't matter how few, it's still an issue that shouldn't be ignored.
And one of the links has evidence in the form of video comparison: https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/b4nftn/snapdragon_s10_laggy_on_4k_youtube_playback/ please watch it @ 1080p60 on something larger than a phone screen.
The one thing I should've probably clarified is that I'm on the HK S10+, but those links indicate that US variants have a similar issue too. If yours doesn't have it, then cool, you're good to go :good:

So now we're talking about the scrolling when the video is played minimized like the reddit video? Yes mines like the same laggy. But the video itself full screen is ok.

Not the scrolling specifically because that's related to the problem. For me the scrolling is laggy AND the video stutters. Are you sure the video is completely smooth? It might seem so but on mine there are frame drops present - even if it's very minor, there should be none at all.
It's best to compare with another capable device side-by-side with your own eyes, as no video recording will be able to demonstrate this clearly enough. There's also a chance that some people aren't sensitive enough to stutters and might not even be able to perceive them (I'm not saying you are, this could genuinely not be happening on your device).
And even if the video doesn't appear to be stuttering to you, shouldn't the laggy scrolling be enough cause for concern? A last gen phone is running smoother and that's not acceptable. Don't settle for mediocrity guys.
edit: before anyone questions the absence of screen recording in that video, the person who uploaded it has another post on reddit where he mentions it fixing the problem.

Watching it at 1440p on native YouTube app it seems the scrolling is smooth. But on Vanced @2140 not so smooth scrolling. Probably the Vanced app or cpu etc binning on the snapdragon.

I don't think it's the app or hardware because once I turn on the screen recorder, playback is perfect (landscape). I'm no expert on this but a logical guess means there's a frequency boost while the recorder is active, removing the stutters.
If I could find a less ****ty workaround that does the same, I would be okay with it, but there isn't
No lag here. My phone has been flawless. SD
Hello,
I've had this phone for a week and while there are certain things I love about it (the fingerprint scanner and the cameras are amazing as you all know), I've been very disappointed with the phone's performance. In my case, the phone has a lot of hiccups and stuttering while browsing through menus and in particular, the screen has a delay and slows down if you're opening menus while you have youtube or the camera app or any kind of media open. If I had to describe it, it's as if the display slows to less than 60 hz while trying to play animations, with everything becoming slow and jagged and laggy, although I have set it permanently to 120 hz. The smoothness just isn't there and I noticed that if I open a youtube video and hit stop, the phone becomes decently smooth in menus, but as soon as I hit play, it slows down right away.
It's particularly strange since the phone does not overheat as I've read it does for some people, yet it has those performance issues even while playing videos at a lower resolution. Sometimes I get the same delay and lag even in basic apps such as messenger while typing. The scores I get in benchmark apps are the same I see in reviews, yet in real-world use, it's less smooth than a mid-range, not to mention other flagships. Hell, I still have my Oneplus 7 pro and that's way smoother and you don't even notice when you have youtube in the background.
Did anyone else experience that? Returning the phone would be quite a big hassle at this point, so I'm hoping there's something else I could do. I've tried all kinds of things like resetting the phone, allowing full access to battery for most apps and other similar measures, but I'm willing to try more.
Thanks.
Go to Developer settings > Running services
Running services is basically a task manager for Android
You can also terminate tasks in there
First active Developer settings. In case you don't already know.
Go-to Settings
Scroll down to about phone
In about phone go to build number and tap it multiple times until it says "you're now a developer!"
Go to outside of about phone and Developer settings will be below About Phone.
Hey, thanks for the reply.
Everything seems to be fine in terms of resource usage, or at least nothing seems to use a ton of resources.

You can click on the settings (three dots) on the top right corner and click "Show cached Processes", maybe the system is not getting rid of old cache data.

Okay, so I've discovered the main issue, but nothing that works to fix it yet. Thanks to your tip of using developer options, I activated the show refresh rate option and sure enough, it drops to 60 hz or lower in a lot of apps, despite me having it set at 120 hz permanently.
Now I know youtube and a lot of apps only support 60 hz, but the strange thing is that the entire screen drops to 60hz while using them. For example, if I check my notifcations or do anything else with the dropdown menu, the display just slows down in menus. As a reference, whenever I used youtube on my old One Plus 7 pro, the dropdown menu was always smooth and set at 90hz even while running youtube or other apps.
I've tried some apps like SmartHerz, Setedit and forcing 120 hz through ADB commands on the Vivo X80 pro, but I've had no luck yet. At least I know what to focus on, thank you for the tips.

Well at least you were able to narrow down the issue, hope it's easily fixable because the X80 Pro isn't a cheap android device, I certainly hoped it would come with good software.
Vivo implantation of LTPO panel seems to be bad and very laggy.
For reference, mine ROG6 is so much faster than the x80 pro it's not funny, and ALL the apps staying at my chosen refresh rate(unless it's hard coded to use a fixed value).
I'm on A13 beta atm, and i hope they'll fix it asap.
Yeah, it's such a shame to see this amazing hardware being held back by its software.

Any luck forcing refresh rate to 120 Hz ? I tried different options too but none of them work. Due to LTPO , the refresh rate keeps dropping to 24 Hz when there is no touch which is expected IF smart switch is selected. However since they have given an option to CHOOSE 120 Hz in settings then it should be forced even if it means more battery consumption. Currently that setting has little meaning.

No luck here, the option really is pointless and none of the tools that work to force the screen refresh rate for other phones work for Vivo at least from what I've tried. It's even stranger that the entire screen drops to 60 Hz throughout the menus as well, my One Plus 7 Pro kept the scrolling and the drop-down menu smooth at 90 Hz even while running apps like YouTube, but the X80 Pro just slows everything down.

Yes , if a Youtube video is playing then the Menu (Settings) screen drops 60 Hz. Otherwise its at 120 Hz if you are scrolling etc.
What's strange is that people are able to force OnePlus 10 Pro displays to 120 Hz refresh rate from what I've seen using apps like Setedit or ADB commands and that phone has an LTPO 2 screen. Not sure whether it's the LTPO 3 that makes those not work for X80 Pro or whether it's something from Vivo themselves.

It is likely Vivo's implementation. Afterall Its a variable refresh rate and Vivo can force it to 120 Hz if a setting is provided.
Hey guys I found a solution, kind of. Use brightness below a certain level, ltpo won't activate
I'm using around 30 percent, I checked using show refresh rate from dev options. If it's around 30 it stays 120 no matter which app you open. Also setting peak refresh rate to 1 in setedit helps. Good luck. I'll update once I find an option to stop ltpo from working using setedit or something. Plz reply if you know any better solution. Cheerio!
