Has anyone else noticed this? If there was a single gripe I have about this phone, it's the browser scrolling. For instance, on the xda developer's forums, with the list of all the phones, the scrolling seems very choppy. On small websites it's not as bad, but I was expecting it to be buttery smooth like (I hate to say it) the SGSII.
I am just wondering if anyone else noticed this and if there is a way around it with/without root? I would be more than happy to wait for root because I know what kind of jumps I can see in performance with a custom ROM/kernel (I had a hero for what seems like a long time and it was much better as time went on due to the custom roms etc.)

Just tried it, runs smooth on my end. You have anything running in the background?
Yes, I have this. It's very annoying.
Thankfully it's my only real complaint about the phone so far.
One other that is bothersome... If you start scrolling down a page while it's still loading, it will snap back to the top when finished loading. This is also very annoying. Anyone else have that issue?

Try Opera browser. I heard it has gpu accelaration (not sure this is true) but from my experience its the smoothest scrolling browser.
I'll give opera a go then
Definitely roll with Opera Mobile! SMOOOTH
i get occasional lag (not just browsing) that gets annoying but a reboot fixes everything. also: i use dolphin HD and my browsing has been very smooth overall
Anybody else getting lag in the xda app when trying to scroll fast feels laggy I did the ota I think it has to to with photos like on the market which makes it laggy I was using imb and it was lagging a lot it looks like its slowing down because of the pics anyone else having this

No lag here, everything seems very smooth browser wise. Almost nearly as smooth as the sgs2 which utilizes hardware acceleration.

I don't get why HTC doesn't like implementing hardware acceleration in their phones. My old epic 4g, which was released last year, has hardware acceleration and doesn't stutter on the xda forum desktop site like the 3D. Still, at least it's a million times better than the evo 4g. The og evo could hardly browse xda's desktop site.

i had a sgs but just broke it with water dmg 2 months ago was great aside from battery life and gps and of course that horrible lag
tried many mods darky , doc , miui ... etc with different lagfix , kernel ext3 . ext4 .. etc but still the device lags alot , the best was miui glitch minimum lag but still the lag is there
i used nexus one with 2.3 and even HD2 with 2.2 and compared them to my phone ... loading games i load them like 1.5~2 x faster than both but while in menu , exiting apps , switching between apps and opining apps both devices do these things much faster and they dont lag at all while mine lags in everything and the same issue with my other friend sgs while sgs2 shows that its faster than both phones
now i want to buy a new phone and thinking about the sgs2 but i dont want to fall in the same mistake and end up with a laggy phone
so what do u think of sgs2 , does it lag much ? or it doesnt lag at all? does it have any lag issue ?
i want you to tell me honestly and excuse my poor English
PS : I 'm not comparing them to how IOS is , i know how fast is iOS but i'm not looking to buy any IPHONE cus i want an android
The word 'Lag' is a relative one. If you are coming from those devices then you won't notice any, but iPhone users have some trouble getting in, iOS is silky smooth, can't say the exact same for Android.
Remember, I am not a fan of either.
Regards.
Every piece of hardware in the world will have software lag on it occassionaly, at least. My experience is that this blows all over my HD2 with every ROM I had on there, and I tried a LOT of different builds on that.
Seriously, if you've had a HD2 running Android faster than your SGS2 then there's either some bad software involved or you've got a faulty device. The difference is more than obvious.
what i meant with lag that the phone get stuck and wont accept commands
i have been android user the for more than a year now , never bought any iphone
but compairing my sgs to hd2 and nexus 1 its the laggiest no mater what u do with it
nexus 1 and hd 2 were very smooth and dont lag when installing more than one up
my sgs lags while downloading a single up and nearly freeze while installing it , cant even brows contact smoothly while installing an app unlike hd2 and nexus 1

So you're actually saying that a HD2 running Android is faster than the SGS, but not faster than the SGS2?
Edit: Sorry, I just reread your first post. I see what you're saying now. So basically, you've not got the SGS2, but you've had the SGS and wonder if it's that much better? In that case, I'm out, since I've never even played with the original SGS. All I can say is the the SGS2 is faster and smoother than anything I ever had running on my HD2, and I generally stuck to Nexus builds because I prefer the original stock Android experience.
Coming from an iPhone, I would say the S2 is on par as far as homescreen "lag" goes. As for not accepting commands, the only time I have had this happen is if I lock the phone using setCPU . Other than that, the phone is FAST. I don't notice any lag at all, and most apps launch just about instantly.

i dont have a sgs2 and thats why i'm asking about it before i buy it
and i did compare my sgs1 2.3 darky 10 ext4 wiped to my friends hd2 2.2 mine lags in menu and while installing but its faster when it come to loading games by 1.5~2x times
his never lags while doing anything just smooth
There are small micro jitters here and there with andriod OS, not a smooth as iOS.
Barely any lag in normal use in things like web surfing and using the interface.
But I get extreme lag using BBC Iplayer(Not the app) in HD or any other video source that is in HD excluding youtube. The video lags and the sound it out of sync. Pretty much unwatchable.
I know that these videos aren't optimised for use on a mobile but it would have been nice if they didn't lag.
Apart from that, all other videos are fine.

On mine there is no lag with the stock ROM. Once I installed Go Launcher, the swiping of the homescreen while was not laggy did have a lower framerate than the stock Touchwiz 4 launcher which was silky smooth.
Never had ANY lag at all since the SGS2 released. It really depends on the usage. But mine, no lag.
No lags on mine. Unrooted and stock rom 2.3.3.
Ah, well... actually to be honest yes, now that I think about it... sometimes I experience a very annoying lag of about 1 second at each and every character I type in the standard text box of forums, while posting. Each character appears about 1 second after having tapped it on the virtual keyboard.
Not sure if it happens with all the browsers, but it's very annoying indeed.
In addition, under the same circumstances when tapping on the text for editing, the "arrow" cursor appears shifted down of about 2-3 rows, with respect to where it actually is in the text.
Not sure if anybody has found a solution for this.
All of these newer phones, EVO 3d, sensation, sgs2 etc. will hardly ever have lag, in my case I have mine underclocked and still no lag, and never had lag.

The question really boils down to does it lag, Yes or No.
There are animation lags from time to time on the S2, thats just how andriod works. Even if you stuff in a quadcore with 3Ghz per core nothings gonna change due to how the software works, probably even if the memory speed is increased 10 folds there will be lags.
No and yes nothings perfect. Ive experienced it before root. Why are you thinking of swtching to, a diffrent OS?

I am really wondering if the photon is running at 30 or less FPS. I notice a bad slow down even in the boot up sprint 4g animation. I also notice that the homescreen seems to lag pretty bad sometimes. Swiping through screens should produce no lag and with comparing models such as the Epic4g touch and Evo they don't suffer from this at all.
I know when the Evo, the original one was first released, that was a initial problem. I don't personally use what they call blur but even with 3rd party launchers I am noticing slow downs that shouldn't be happening on a phone with a dual core processor.
Don't get me wrong, I like the phone but it just doesn't seem to be as fast as other phones when it comes to day to day use. I'm watching videos from the Epic4g touch and it's buttery smooth. The Evo 3d was very smooth too. I retired that though.
Anybody else wondering the reason for the slow downs on this phone?

Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
45 apps and mods or root at the moment.
I was having this problem. Then I realized it was juice defender that was making this happen. I suspect that switching the radios on and off is what causes it to lag.
Sent from my Photon
I downloaded Fps test from the market, now im not sure how accurate it is but I get 59-60 fps
The results show that but the problem is lag is prevalent in some parts of the phone. For instance the camera app lags right after taking a pic. Watch how the pic shrinks right after the pic is snapped. Then go into the gallery and try to pinch to make the pic zoom in. Its horribly laggy and choppy. Also swiping homescreens it will lag sometimes. I have replaced it with quickpic and the launcher with go launcher. Just really wish I could just keep using the stock apps
I agree, the Photon seems to be very choppy with scrolling through home pages. But i don't notice it when I'm scrolling on web pages, and switching between apps is still very fast. Not to mention Google maps flies on this thing. Id love to hear some suggestions as well. BTW, I'm using LP+
I read an article the other day that stated that the Tegra 2 has a secondary arm 7 core that is low clocked and takes care of background syncing and audio and things like that especially when the device is asleep it allows the Tegra main cores to go into deep sleep saving battery. This combined with the radio saver which puts the radio to sleep, I think is causing the startup lag and other lag, the only time I ever get lag is when I turn the screen on, I used to noticed this same type of lag on my epic when I used set CPU and would set an alternate power setting when the screen would be off and I would lock it at 200 or 400 mhz and the lag would appear upon turning the screen on, then it would clear up when full power was restored. Im assuming the hand off is the problem from the slower core to the normal cores.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
I definitely agree that it is dual core related. These new dual core phones aren't being used fully due to battery savings. It makes me wonder why we need the dual core if one is dormant most of the time.
I think blur needs some serious optimization to make it run smoother. I was thinking about switching to the epic touch 4g but it looks like they are having all types of issues. The sad thing is I could get the phone for less than 100 on upgrade.
I hope Motorola starts really focusing on the updates to make the phone run smoother.

I just loaded the newest unreleased build 198_6 and the phone seems to run a little less laggy. This helped with wifi and the homescreen scrolling. I still see slight lag but I guess I will have to live with that. The phone seems a little more snappy.
I do agree some tweaks are needed. We really need a fully unlocked bootloader so the Rome will come. Losing 4g with root right now is a hurdle that most wont mess with.

Ran a Nenamarks2 today and got 24.5 FPS.
I have tried every ROM available, senseless or with sense; and whenever I run Apex or Nova, the scrolling is low quality, laggy, and choppy. I've tried setting different scrolling times with no avail. Is their some sort of optimization that stock ics has that sense phones don't? I'd love to know if I can fix the issue, or at least figure out what's causing it.

People's perceptions vary. It's the same for them as it is for you. They've probably never seen the launchers running at a full 60 fps on a Galaxy Nexus and have no clue they're getting subpar performance.
It seems to boil down to unimplemented acceleration for some functions in the graphics driver (if sense doesn't use it, they don't need to support it). Don't bother with the 218 drivers, either, they aren't any better.
i dont know why more people dont use nova.. its the smoothest launcher for me.

That's why I left Apex for LauncherPro. Not ICS, but fast as hell.
I emailed the programmer for Nova and he told me it might have something to do with our leaks not including the proper 3D or graphics libraries.
I do know exactly what you mean, when flipping desktops with Sense, it looks like we get 60 frames per second and it's super smooth. With Apex, Nova or GO, it's still fast but the framerate drops down a LOT.
What's weird is that when opening the app drawer, all those launchers become really fast and really smooth. It's only when flipping desktop pages. Even with no wallpaper scroll it's choppy.
Same problem here. I tried flashing the Adreno 220 update but it lowered benchmark scores and didn't improve the responsiveness of Apex.
Guess I'm stuck with Ultrasmooth Rosie, I don't really like the Sense app drawer (neither 3.6 nor 4.0) but I'll take 60fps over 10fps.

My thought was that the libraries just fell back to software for some functions, and that was why it was slow. We certainly have the necessary library files, but that doesn't mean all the hooks were properly implemented.

For me, the app drawer in Nova is choppy until you get to the widgets section, which is ultra smooth. Apex's app drawer is adequately fast. Both home screens are terrible, though.
This is also quite irksome for me because it also seems to affect Chrome's performance, and I'd really like to use that.
One can only hope at this stage that the official OTA is different and properly accelerates the missing drawing functions.

Actually I have used a Galaxy Nexus, and the only thing that my Rezound does not compare too would be Jelly Bean on the Nexus.

Although I would agree that when running Tablet mode, Nova runs a tad choppy, but Apex is still beasting it!

So far its super smooth, I have a friend I work with too that has a Nexus and he says I did a good job setting up. We did side by sides and it keeps up very well with his ICS Nexus, then he Put JB on and I lose lol.
For Chrome I dont know, I never use it, I use stock ICS Browser or even ICS + (The Stock runs better than ICS + [Although I'm sure they are the exact same thing?]). Only issue I have is that stuff shows up kinda small since I'm running Tablet Mode now.
Also what's the purpose of the Adreno drivers? I read the thread on it a while back when they first pulled them from some other device, but dont remember what they were for.

Saying it's "super smooth" doesn't mean anything, because it might mean something different to you than us. I was looking to quantify things. If you know what 60 fps looks like, you can definitely say whether or not you're achieving that. I can say that this phone does not reach 60 fps in the cases I mentioned. A Galaxy Nexus does.
I use ICS Browser+ as well, as it doesn't seem to suffer from the stuttering issue. If you're willing to test, it's simple enough to download Chrome and check if scrolling is smooth like it is in the stock browser or ICS Browser+.
The Adreno drivers are just that: the drivers for the Adreno 200 series of graphics hardware. They are an implementation of EGL and OpenGL ES for the GPU in the phone. The theory was, being newer, that they would be faster or have improved acceleration and/or power management. From testing, I haven't seen any qualitative benefits to using anything other than the stock drivers, and people have said their benchmark numbers aren't any different, either.

I agree with you that saying Super Smooth doesnt really mean much to everyone else, but without any real method of measuring the true FPS at the moment makes it even tougher. Although I can truthfully say that it seems to be matching the smoothness of the Nexus so far, if its not a full 60fps then its pretty DARN close lol.
For Chrome I'll be testing in a few when I get out from work and I'll post what my findings are. Never used Chrome on Phone mode or Tablet mode lol.
I might try out those Drivers see if it makes it even better....ish? Although If you guys havent had much luck with your rezounds then I assume I won't have much luck either. Either way i'll Try that out too. Anyone have a link to it?
Yep, this was the main reason why I stopped using de-sensed roms with apex/nova/trebuchet and switched to sense roms. Just couldn't take the choppiness anymore
Anyone have the latest apk for chrome. I can't get it off the market. Says not compatible. Much thanks in advance
So had my nexus 10 for a few days now and im confused about the general stuttery performance issues. my galaxy s3 running cm10 runs android rather buttery and smooth. the nexus 10 seems to be lacking butter. ive tried the nexus 4 and it's a great buttery performance but the 10 lags and stutters alot, is this just because of the screen resolution or is a fault of android? ive tried cm10 and others nexus 10 roms but still seems kinda stuttery. is over clocking the answer? it's only really 2d performance where the 10 seems to be lacking and i expected more from a 1.7 dual core proc.
something i have noticed is that as long as i keep my finger on the screen, it does not lag, however if i fling and then remove my figure it lags and stutters.
i want to hear other peoples opinions on nexus 10 performance because so far, i fail to see the butter.

If there are performance problems, the reason they never get fixed is that people insist on posting subjective experience with "lag" on xda instead of objective, useful bug reports on the AOSP bug tracker..
In my experience, though, it's always a ****ty app hogging the UI thread in a service or some other noob developer move causing lag.
My N10 is smooth and stock.
The idea behind Project Butter, I believe, is that when you have your finger on the screen, then the governor automatically ramps up the speed to whatever the max has been set to. This is the reason why interactive is now the most common governor of choice for AOSP. I suppose you could root and flash a different kernel with other specialised governors like KToonses, which comes with PegasusQ, KToonsertive and others. Or even on stock you could change to other kernels and see if that helps out. I haven't really been noticing much problem with the stutter even on interactive tbh. Animations are fine, so could be that you do have some cpu intensive app causing the lag.

it would appear that having google currents syncing in the background causes lag. tablet is super fast after disabling.
No lag here whatsoever. Running cm10.1 nightlies.
I haven't had a single hint of lag since day one. Seriously, literally as smooth as smooth can be as far as 2D desktop experience goes. If you're suffering noticeable lag I'd honestly think you have a faulty tablet. This thing is BUTTER.

The other aspects of project butter such as the vsync made a much bigger difference than the ramping up CPU. Prior to jellybean if a toast notification came up all the animations would become really choppy. Even with the CPU at low speeds the animations stay smooth as they are rendered by the GPU.

In chrome it's terrible. I'm not sure if it's due to the ads, since I have previously used Adaway. Scrolling is choppy with lots of frame drops. Web pages will stop loading at 90% and not let me interact with links. Often get a blank screen for 15secs while a page loads. I haven't had a browsing experience this bad since my Optimus V on sprint 3g. Looks like I'll be eating a $35 restock fee. I would've liked to try the Samsung browser but verizon has removed it.
Edit: a reboot resolved the loading issues for now, but scrolling is still choppy. Extremely choppy if you scroll while ads are still loading.

Same, I'm on T-mobile and tried the stock browser as well with the same result.

Ugh, I was hoping sideloading the Samsung browser would've resolved the issue. I guess not.
I've always used chrome beta on my devices but this time, I gave the stock browser a shot. It's amazing and absolutely smooth. The browser is so well optimized for this phone that it blows chrome out of the water.
Lightning+ browser is smooth as butter and consumes minimal battery with amoled display mode and inverted grayscale rendering.
When it works it feels smooth and fast. There is an issue with scrolling, the screen is over sensitive and you do face a lot of accidental key presses. This has been reported by a fair number of people.

The stock browser actually very smooth. About same as my iPhone 6s Plus. Here is my test https://youtu.be/hq4exPxLSrY
Chrome's latest update to V.49 fixed the scrolling lag for me entirely.
The default browser is remarkably smooth, Chrome on the other hand is kind of hit or miss. It's smooth for pages you frequent often though.
Edit: just loaded up Firefox with uBlock and it blows both stock and chrome out of the water. Definitely the most smooth experience. It's really only lacking a nice material theme/status bar.
stock browser has an ad block that you can download through the samsung store. That's what I'm using for my daily browsing and using chrome only for sites I need to get to that are bookmarked, like bills and school sites that are not ad infested.
Butter smooth.
I really do not recommend Chrome unless you use a Nexus device, stock browsers almost always perform better performance and efficiency wise. I just use stock, use it lacks some features and it doesn't even sync my bookmarks but it's not like I browse my daily readings on the phone, so it doesn't matter for me. When I browse the links almost always come from somewhere else so I don't need my favorites.
scrolling smoothness on Skype is terrible. Even after loading Skype so that all the contacts are loaded, scroling through my chats is very laggy. However, the app itself is not.

No it is not terrible. I can say it is fu... smooth!!!
I have no issues with scrolling. But my wife won't trade phones with me. So I'm stuck with the S6.
Stock browser is great, no issues there. Some apps still exhibit some slightly imperfect scrolling behaviour (e.g. Facebook is not perfect, but much better than my Note 5 ever was). With GPU profiling on, it's easy to see that there are still frame drops (on the SD820 version at least).
After reading this thread i decided to give the stock brower another chance. Soon as i got my phone 2 wks i switched to chrome. Been using chrome for a while. I must say its faster at times. I did notice the lag on chrome just now. So im going to try the stock one again.
I'm random use the phone. Not only scrolling I've no issue about any smoothness. All are OK! It's very well for use.
I've got any scrolling issue. IMO it's the best till now for smooth
