Background: Updated my ICS unlocked i9300 to JB finally last night.
Can anyone advise why when i was on ICS, i was experiencing no lag at all and the entire experience was really nice, but now i have upgrade to JB the experience is very poor due to allot of lag and general system slowness? For example, if i kill the messaging app from long pressing the home key (with a kill all open tasks), when i re-open the messaging i will be greeted with only phone numbers on the display initially but then after a sec or 2 the names and pics are populated. Also another exapmle would be the keyboard (stock one), when clicking in the URL box of any browser or in the messaging app (again stock as before), the keyboard takes quite some time to appear!?!
It seems very odd to me as JB is supposed to be very good with it's "butter" but is not performing for me at all in the way it should?!?
Any help greatly appreciated as i now no-longer like my phone very much :crying:

Guess what???
Problem is not jellybean... its you.
There's no way jellybean is very slow compare to your ics..
If ics is faster for you then go back to the ics.
I got the exict same problem ! the main theme ringtone in the start booting screen plays but no video just black screen with the sound.. Afrer it boots its very very laggy and after like 15min the phone freez with black screen.
i got the update today im from kuwait .
Seems as if wiping cache and dalvik has been forgotten. ..

'Crest+', very unhelpful answer and the type of answer you'd expect from dumb asses that use nokia. If you bothered searching the net you'd realise that this issue has affected allot of people and i thought i'd ask the experts at xda - but i guess trollers have made it here as well.
Wiping was not done in my case due to the fact that it was not advised to do so via any point of the update and should have been setup to be more like the upgrade from froyo to GB and actually worked properly without having to do so on other devices. Why would anyone want to wipe the cache and dalvik if not prompted to do so via the official process?!?
Did u try factory reat?

No as it was not required but it would appear this is the only possible resolve... Joy, time to backup and restore tonight which knowing kies will take about 4.5 hours...

but since there are people experiencing also..
I apologize for my response earlier..

Here's what you need to do... try flashing a full firmware from sammobile...probably the latest firmware to make sure its updated...
then flash it using odin... I never experienced this so called lag that's why I answered the question based on my experience.

Not a problem, i will try the factory reset first as i should have the full latest seeing as it was stock updated through kies last night. Worst case scenario is i go back to custom romming it.

Due to me not having much time at the point of needing to format and restore i decided to carry on for a few days until getting the opportunity, but oddly the issue seems to have gone now
The only thing i can link it to is the fact that i ran through all the settings and was greeted with the annoying 'help' popups, and once i cycled through al the menus getting rid of the last popup...no more lag The phone is running very smooth (as it should), but really can't see how the menu aids were slowing it down (if they were), but they are the only thing i can link the issue to :silly:

I have tried many jb roms and i have to say that although jb is extremely smooth,I always find it extremely slow compared to good old GB.
I have the feeling that they have sacfificed speed for smoothness!
Same thing on mine Galaxy S3
I've just experienced same thing as you..
Sluggish, laggy.. and everything after i did official update to Jelly Bean..
Resolve:
Turn phone off
VOL UP+HOME+POWER..
Wipe cache...
That's it
At least it's working for me

I updating my unmodified Tab 10.1 Wifi last night. The update is pretty amazing, if not a bit uglier. But suddenly I am having a ton of issues.
Worst of all is the lag. All the animations are suddenly very laggy and abrupt. Nothing is smooth anymore, when stock Honeycomb used to be very smooth. I talked to my friend, and he isn't having this issue after the official update.
Also, haptic feedback on the stock Android keyboard doesn't work anymore.
Then, Rock Player won't play MKVs with hardware decoding as it used to, and it's COMPLETELY messed up playing it with software decoding. A ton of distortion. Stock player won't play it either.
My dad took my tablet to play Angry Birds, and he says it kept crashing. I tried to play afterward, and it crashed. Just disappears without warning or any FC.
Also, I tried typing this on my tablet. It's now impossible to type (and this isn't limited to browser either) because the tablet is so laggy. Letters are missed, sometimes 3 at a time. I have to hold every button for it to register. Before I could type incredibly fast.
I removed all the widgets and turned off Samsung Apps running in the background, and it's slightly better but still very bad. Any tips guys? Because if not, I'm going to root it and flash a custom ROM. Hopefully the clean start and optimizations will fix it all.

Same thing with me, although I haven't gone through any heavy app use yet, my home screens lag a lot more than they ever did before TW. Google Music also forced closed on me a few times while syncing with the Google servers.
This is after installing a stock build of the OTA via Clockwork. I'm really not too sure what is going on, since mostly everyone else is reporting that everything is very very smooth on their end.
Thanks for the confirmation that at least someone else has my issues. I guess tonight is rooting/flashing night for me. I missed it, after trading my Captivate for a Veer for the next month or two. Though webOS is boss

I Wiped Data and reflashed the ROM, now Im just waiting for a 100 percent charge, and I'm going to try this again. I'll report back.
Here's a question, have you tried restarting the tab, and if you did, did it help any with the lag?
Do a factory restore then after you complete the initial setup, leave it for about 15mins. I did that after I updated since I also noticed some lag on the homescreens and app crashes. Now everything runs smooth as silk and noticeably faster than when it was stock.

Factory restore through settings? I'd need to root it for TiBu first anyway. Thanks, I'll try that before flashing.
Also my tab was completely unmodified. It was android 3.1 as it came out of the box, of which I did the touchwiz OTA update this morning.

OK so I rooted my Tab, flashed Clockwork, backed up all my stuff with TiBu, and factory reset. Most of the lag is gone! I can finally type things really fast without it all going to hell! This makes me happy. Baltic on stock Android keyboard is still gone, but this has been an issue with TouchWiz before on the Captivate. I remember with the Froyo leaks, how the stock keyboard had no haptic... it was fixed eventually. I'm not too worried. So my next step is to flash a new ROM, that one with the black bar. Just for the optimizations, and because I miss flashing since I have a webOS device now. Well thanks for the help with the suggestion for the factory reset, my tablet is usable again! Thanks guys!
Last comment. StarBurst is incredibly smooth I flashed it and can't be happier!
Yeah my problems are mostly gone too. I did a factory reset and then reflashed the rom, then I let it sit after boot-up for 20 minutes, rebooted, let it sit for another 5, and then rebooted again. A lot smoother this time around. Was probably just a bad flash.
Glad yours is working well too!
hi everyone
i`ve got a problem with my sgs2.
since the last update version, my phone doesn`t run smoothly anymore.
when scrolling through the menu or contactlist it`s like the page is holding back. before the update i haven`t got any problems with it. I`ve gone to a servicepoint to reset the whole system to the earliest version. didn`t work. I`ve send it back to where i bought it, they say we`ve repared it... nothing seems to have happened.
it`s so frustrating to see that this expensive phone, witch they say is the fastest and the best of it`s kind, seems to have such a problem.
Does somebody know what to do? because I don`t.
greetz marcel
so you have used warranty repair?? May as well root and install a faster custom rom
since the op doesn't come from the deep internet....... i shal explain that there is a search function in this website.
And i am not certain this specific post will help OP in any way, since he just sent it to warranty, due to...that.....
Sorry but sincerely, why did you buy a Samsung Galaxy S2? are you coming from an iPhone?
[EDIT] Anyway, this question might be useful for future reference, in a mere chance that a new user might actually use this so mythical search function.
If after you updated the operative system version to *whatever* you can always revert it to the version you previously had. This might conclude to a confusing stage of your life, since samsung seem to have hit an infinite loop of versions releases and most probably you might get more confused than you already are.
Simply follow guides and instalation instructions in the Development sections... !!!***BUT***!!! remember, development section and threads are strictly to that finality, development. Questions and other doubts are to be posted in the Q&A or General sub-sections.
I honestly wish that i dont sound rude in any and every way, and if i do, i hereby ask for forgiveness... -.-'
You can factory reset and test .
You can install a later stock rom and test .

Yes you sound rude and probably no help to OP, also the condescending tone in your post makes this community look bad for the novices who have genuine problems IMO. Is it because he has 1 post? If he was saying something like "WHY PHONE HAZ LAG? WHAT BEST FIRMWARE FOR NO LAG?" then I would understand your post.
Anyway's, good luck OP! I had the same problems with custom ROM's and Kernel's (firmware) but since I was doing custom stuff, I voided my warranty and had to deal with it myself via full wipes and a kernel cleaning script amongst all the flashing. How did you try to update your firmware?

I get the same thing happening, but only on the call logs.
I think it holds about 500 logs and every so often when I try to scroll down a few pages it starts to freeze then flows again and keeps doing that the more I keep scrolling down.
I think it happens because sometimes I don't use that list for a long period so it needs to reload the list. Also could be the first time after I restore a backup.
Anyway, I just keep scrolling all the way to the bottom and after that all is good again. It a bit like loading the gallery for the first time. After that it loads quickly.

I have the GS2 for Sprint and I just got the new 4.0.4 update - I'm not happy. I was excited to get it, but after using it for one day I was less than thrilled. They have really retarded the ability to move quickly through the phone, LOTS of screen animations and transitions are added and really do make things much slower as the screens pops around on you and places buttons in different locations. I want these turned off ASAP. I went to the developer menu and "turned them off" as I was instructed from another website, but that didn't do a damn thing. Every menu change has a cute little animation adding time and lagging my muscle memory screen presses. The phone is laggy now, it wasn't before, at all.
Anyone else share my strife or know how to fix my issue?
Thank you
I totally disagree...since 4.0.4 firmwares have started to come out, i even managed to stay on stock firmware for a couple of weeks without flashing custom ones. S2 can take care of animations without lag.

Well, you "managed to stay on it for a couple weeks" implies that eventually you didn't like it.
I Don't have lag with the animations, I have lag with nothing happening, and THEN whatever it is I was going into pops up.
Test - right now I hit home screen and it takes about half a second, going into anything takes the same amount of time. This sounds rather trivial, but when comparing to the way it originally operated I think we're talking about a set back.
I'm not opposed to switching to another rom, but I've gotten to the point in my life where I use my phone enough for actual work that I don't have the time. Ideally, I would like the old ROM back, and rooted removing the bloatware.
I will do some research to see if I can achieve my goals, I just wanted to see if someone had an answer for my questions and see if I could avoid the issue altogether and get over the "Facebook layout" syndrome.

You're in the forum for the i9100, a phone that doesn't even work on Sprint.
The Sprint Galaxy S2 is the Epic 4g Touch.
No matter what phone , wether the original i9100 or the sprint one , things at first may seem slow , til everything is caching and stuffs ... Do a factory reset or format /data and /cache .. Would defenitly make a difference..(if it still lags try to disable the animations and transitions OR activate the force GPU and see)

I installed the Smooth Bean JB 4.1 rom yesterday. It really is a awesome piece of work, but I have two issues.
1. Slowness. I changed the minimum speed to around 400 rom 200 but it still transition from screen to screen slowy at times.
2. Black screen. After getting everything just rightl I noticed the screen will go black occatiionally. I can press the power button to blank the screen, and come back and it's normal again.
I follows the Developers instrutions to NVflash first, clean all settings, factory reset and load. Everythings looks normal but for the top issues.
This is not every second issue. I can still use the G-Tablet and it does work perfectly but then it goes black or slows down.
Why not ask on the dev's thread for this ROM? Nobe is very helpful and supportive, and you'll get a faster response there.

You can always wipe data/reset only, and reflash the ROM. It sounds like a hardware issue, but I assume you were not having these problems before. i cannot think of a fix for this, I have not seen anyone else have problems with a blackout screen.
The temporary slowdowns are due to 100% cpu usage, which happens to all of us. I would suggest holo launcher, or apex, because they use less RAM and less CPU, and they are better than stock, and FREE!!!!! There are many launchers better than stock and use less CPU.
Another thing you can do is get system tuner, and delete system apps you dont use, like calender, or smspush, stock Email. This can create issues though if you delete the wrong stuff.

Which update are you using? The most current one that you have to apply the update is going to run mainly off of the GPU instead of the CPU. I changed it that way so that the strain on the processor wouldn't be to over whelmed. Since currently we are still working with the 2.6.39 which has a lot off small issues when the CPU gets overloaded, for most SOD, that why I choose that config. There also might be some remidence of previous ROM builds within the nand or like everyone else blames on is Bad Blocks. I am currently working on a neat format tool that should help or devices handle those, but since we switch from 200m, to 250m, and also 300m systems it is going to take awhile to build it up. The best word of advise is to get a copy of the one time NVflash Format tool from here Click and run it a couple of times before NVflashing the 250m modded one.
I updated using Smooth Bean 1.3.2 with the re-mixed update file. Since I was having problems getting my tablet to power to 100%, and the black screens I performed the "format" that was listed above. Now my tablet won't boot at all. I think i'll let it power completely off, and if I can get it running i'll clear out all data and start from scratch.
Thanks everyone for your advice and hopefull I'll be up and running soon. From what I can see Smooth Bean 1.3.2 was the best rom yet.
Fixed

I reloaded the G Tablet from scratch and I even wiped the 16gig SD card. I have never installed a ROM that was this responsive. It is incredible, and i'm loving how fast it is. Normally I have to tweak the min CPU but with this I never had too. Thanks for your Smooth Bean, Effort, and I'll donate when I move to your thread.
I do have one issue that has not gone away though. When I'm in your Smooth Bean thread and click "thanks" my screen goes black. This also seemed to happed when i opened ES Taskmanager. To fix it, I press power to blank the screen, and then I come back in and the screen is good.
Any ideas?

I along with many other T-Mobile S5 users have patiently awaiting the arrival of 5.0 Lollipop for our beloved device...........Its finally here and is beautiful to look at but a pain in the ass to use.
WHY??!?!?!?
I've been running the update since its launch in the U.S. and its ridiculously slow and unresponsive! WTH Samsung?
Simple things like opening the SMS app takes long to load and even longer to load the conversations.
Tapping the recents key takes almost 4 seconds to open the task switcher.
simple animations that occurred seamlessly on kitkat now take seconds to go thru.
Toast popups take forever to dismiss.
compared to 4.4.4 kitkat, lollipop drops the ball on speed when it should have no problems as its running 2.5GHZ.
i stuck with it for almost 2 weeks, i ran multiple cache wipes and factory resets only to have the same slow unresponsive $600+ device.
i now run Fusion Rom 5.0.2 and the phone is lightning fast! no complaints on the speed but to loose so many GS5 specific features absolutely sucks! no more fingerprint scanner, no more IR blaster drivers, no more GS5 camera.......which i loved!
Fusion ROM is my savior but damn, i still want my factory software with all my features back but at the speeds kitkat provided.....is that to much to ask for???
has anyone had this issue? its the same on my girlfriends s5 but lets face it, shes a chick and is nowhere near technologically inclined lol.
please help meh! any alternatives? different kernals? something please!

I along with many other T-Mobile S5 users have patiently awaiting the arrival of 5.0 Lollipop for our beloved device...........Its finally here and is beautiful to look at but a pain in the ass to use.
WHY??!?!?!?
I've been running the update since its launch in the U.S. and its ridiculously slow and unresponsive! WTH Samsung?
Simple things like opening the SMS app takes long to load and even longer to load the conversations.
Tapping the recents key takes almost 4 seconds to open the task switcher.
simple animations that occurred seamlessly on kitkat now take seconds to go thru.
Toast popups take forever to dismiss.

Sounds like a bad flash or incompatible data lingering causing the lag. I would start with a new Odin flash immediately followed by factory data reset. Also, turn off animations from developer options.
My stock, rooted setup is very smooth w/no lag.

That's something I haven't tried. I was rooted on stock 4.4.4, I unrooted and reflashed the stock recovery and ran the OTA. I didn't really do a clean install, I still retained all of my app data and user data. That could be the issue. I'm surprised I didn't think of that in the first place. I'll flash the stock sammobile lollipop firmware thru Odin and will post my results, hopefully it helps. Thanks for the input.

Remember even the Odin .tar is a "no wipe" .tar so you will need to do a factory data reset after flashing in order to get a true clean install.
I like Omega ROM. It's a TW ROM that is close to stock and is fast and smooth. It's in the 900F section. A LOT of people use it.
My experience was EXTREME loss of battery life. Like it went down by 75% even with factory resets and all that. I finally just put KitKat back on and everything is better. Not sure Lollipop has enough to tempt me away from KitKat again.

Ok, i flashed the stock 5.0 firmware with odin and did a factory reset.
So, from what i can tell.......and tell me if this makes sense.
After starting clean, i had the exact same issues so decided, let me be patient and maybe the new os needs time to settle. Since the 30th of march, lollipop has slowly "healed" itself......day by day, it gets faster and more responsive but.....theres always a but.......ive been presented with more problems. I get non stop toasts saying contacts app has stopped working.....even tho i NEVER use the contacts app. My heart beat scanner doesnt work, the red light no longer shows. My led doesnt work properly, it only shows when the phone is charging and now, the worst of them all. My battery life has gone down the drain BIGTIME. To the point where my phone is dead in an hour with minimal use......today, I did a reflash when I got to work except this time, I chose to boot to boot loader and just let the phone sit for a few hours. Now she works great, fast as hell and responsive but with the same dramatic battery decrease...........I'm now married to my charger.
Stock just doesn't seem to be living up to its promises in the battery life department which is a really big deal.
This sucks......
I'm now running KitKat and can definitely agree, the materialistic ui is nice as hell but that's not enough to take me back to lollipop.....at least as far as the tmogs5 klte goes.

^ You may want to try flashing a custom kernel like ktoonsez's . For the contacts app force closes, disabling "Google+" app helps.
2.5GHz? Noooo, more like 1.4GHz. Use CPU Z and see for yourself. The governor is interactive and I barely see the phone run at 2.5GHz. Lollipop has been slower in some parts but it has resolved some kitkat issues. 5.1 is very stable. Sammy needs to skip 5.0.1 and 5.0.2.
