I've noticed that there is a good amount of lag in response to touch input on my rezound. I'm wondering if this is normal for this phone? It doesn't seem to start scrolling until my finger has moved around half a centimeter, especially in some apps like the browser and twitter. I'm stock and unrooted Do I just have a bum phone?

had this day one with mine. is it new or you've had it for a bit?
i ended up swapping mine out at a vzw store the day after it arose, would take a little, but would consistently lag. if new, try swapping it. if not, backup and try a wipe.
Try using a task killer if you don't already. I normally have this problem when I have too many apps running at once.

It's a couple days old. I didn't want to exchange it if every rezound is like this, but it sounds like this isn't normal. Thanks!

This is my first android phone but I came from wm6.5 were the lag seemed to be about the same. I think it's the nature of a multi tasking OS on a phone.

On ICS and GB, my notification bar lags, but for ICS I've noticed pointer lag, and jittery browser scrolling. I use the dev tools to show touch input, and there is some lag. I'm thinking that if you change the max events per sec in the build.prop, that should fix the lag, and improve overall responsiveness.

^No... Just no... Task killers = fail.
I have noticed something so I'll test my hypothesis over the next day or two.
When in have my case on my phone I get random reboots. Its a form fitting case. Nothing fancy.
When out of my case no random reboots.
I'll try without case for 24 hours and report back. Hope I don't drop it lol.

any results you get would just be random because people on stock get no reboots or VERY rarely, it simple as ALL JB custom roms we have are hack jobs, all the great devs are doing best can be done without official souce/drivers
crazy thing is man im having the same issue im getting reboots when it reboots ! crazy lol
Random reboots are because we don't have the stock kernel info
Confucius say... man who go to bed with itchy butt wake up with smelly finger
My phone stopped rebooting as soon as I got a nexus 7 and started using it more. I think it's jealous and wants a little more play time.
What size re-boots are we talking about here ?
I wear size 11..(grin )
Well so far my hypothesis is being ridiculed by myself and other, however....
Almost 19 hours with no case and NO random reboots.
I must conclude at this early stage that my size 13.5 reboots are in some way being caused by my skin tight case. Hmmm...I know the Kernel is an issue but I wonder if there is another element involved.
Guess I"ll have to tell wife I"m gonna have to buy another more expensive case to further me scientific research.
EDIT: My hypothesis was proved invalid. Literally the second after I posted the above it freaking REBOOTED! Oh well.
I'd add my tight case story to this.
I was using a tight fitting zenus flip case and my touchscreen was horrible at the bottom left area. I had a feeling it was affecting the digitizer because when I take it out of that case, it's completely fine.
I don't use that case anymore because I'm afraid it will cause permanent damage if left on for too long.

Although your hypothesis seems promising in reality they are called random reboots for a reason. I've gone a full week without a RR and then come last Tuesday I had gotten maybe 3 or 4 in the same day and then at least once a day until today. I literally changed nothing, updated apps like I regularly have for the entirety of the phone- in all honesty I've concluded that the reboots have no logic or meaning to their pattern- although I have found when many apps are open and the RAM is stressed at its near upmost capacity it seems to almost always reboot while scrolling in any app [reddit, xda, etc.]. This, is truly the only factor i have determined to be valid through experience.
TD;RL: Random reboots are random.

The random reboots are exceedingly annoying. Mostly because after every random reboot, there is a 50% chance that when it reboots there will be NO audio during calls. All other audio works, except for calls. When this happens, the only way to fix it is to re-flash the rom in recovery - sometimes I need to reflash more than once for it to start working again. This of course makes using CM10 difficult as a daily driver for me, so I am hoping they fix this soon.

This is very interesting, because when I think back to every time it has crashed - there are one or more auto updates which happen immediate after the device boots back up.
I will try this. I wonder if manual updates can also cause a crash.

I think we can try anything but the simple fact is until we get code, JB will be unstable. I have gone back to ICS until or if we ever get an official release.
I do understand though the interest in trying the outstanding roms our devs are producing. I just need a stable Rom for my business use.

Do you have "everything" unchecked related with the auto updates? My random reboots went away only after I disabled notifications. Only box checked now is "update over WiFi only" option, no more reboots, and the phone feels liberated.

Yup. I really liked it before, but now with 4.2.2 it seems that this lone issue was finally resolved. I'm going on 61 hours uptime since installing the update, and haven't had a single hiccup. Fast, smooth... Fantastic. Loving it.

do you know for which countries is the 4.2.2 update available? i did not receive any update (Bucharest/Romania). Thanks
They finally fixed the time bug that caused mine to constantly be behind 10 minutes.
My experience is a little mixed. I play a lot of MC4 without any stutters or lag prior to 4.2.2. But now I am getting constant stutters during multiplayer game play. I found myself going back to 4.2.1 to be able to play my MC4. That was the only issue that I encountered while on 4.2.2.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Since upgrading to 4.2.2, I have not had chrome freeze or the n10 reboot. That's wonderful!!!
I have Battery Monitor Widget Pro running with an alarm set if the battery hits 95d f. Since 4.2.2 I had the alarm go off while charging with the pogo cable and running daydream 'colors' (first time trying daydreams) and again when a 30 minute youtube video playing through hdmi (no charger). The temp went up in less than 5 minutes after the video/animation started. Felt extremely hot around the camera. Never had that happen before, only time the temp went up was after 30 minutes of a graphical game play.
Battery temp is usually around 82, almost never above 90f and certainly not in 5-10 minutes. Gonna keep an eye on it, but it is a new problem for me and related to the video.
After update to 4.2.2 my bettary is bad. :'( on Android 4.2.1 I usually get about 7-8 hours screen on, but on 4.2.2 I get 5-6 hour screen on. But with 4.2.2 my Nexus 10 more fast and smooth

I'm glad 4.2.2 has fixed many of the soft reboot/crashes and things like that but I still feel that the nexus 10 isn't as snappy as it should be. I feel there's still residual lag during transitions and alot of apps don't run well (I think that's more hardware optimization though). The nexus 10 menu's feel a bit slow.
IMO the nexus 4 on stock feels much smoother.
Battery life appears fine and no more random lockups or reboots since the upgrade several days ago....Very happy now!
Thanks for 4.2.2 update. I no longer face hang/auto restart.
Reboots and crashes are gone it seems. Chrome would crash every time I opened it, now it is rock solid. I would also have random reboots at least twice a day. 0 since the update. Bootlog Uptime says 4 days 4 hours.
I still have issues with Wi-Fi though. My University has multiple AP's with the same SSID, and my N10 has issues finding and staying connected to the strongest signal. It will stay connected for maybe 5 minutes, then the Wi-Fi looks like it resets or something. I tried a logcat dump and nothing notable shows anything.

Problem with XBMC is the interface is still sluggish and is a burden to work with. Especially if you setup a samba share and let it import your PC's music and movie collection. XBMC is just way too bloaty for a tablet and is currently the #1 contender in the "How to drain your battery the fastest" department.
Video playback
Hi,
I have flashed the 4.2.2 stock rom and there are some issues, which are not fixed, and some which seem to be new.
- I had one freeze when the tablet was on standby. Only a reboot fixed it and my battery level was about 10% lower as before. Ok, this might be an app, which is misbehaving, I'll monitor it.
- Then I had the first time this time bug, where the time shown is some minutes off sync.
- The worst thing is, that 4.2.2. seems to have broken the video playback in some apps. Playback is stuttering and some frames are dropped. For example in the watchever app, which worked fine in 4.2.1
Google Movies does not seem to be affected.
Anyone else noticing the video playback issue?
Regards,
Goldstein

My brother had the same issue on his Galaxy Tab some time ago... He was running some Cyanogen alpha though and flashing to a newer version resolved the issue. You could investigate whether a fresh flash resolves your issues...
OnTopic: Did not notice much improvement in 4.2.2 (CM10.1) as the device was running without any problems and there was not really something to improve... However benchmarks scores did go up - Antutu went up from ~13500 to ~16500 and Quadrant from 4800 to 4950.
hows the os running on the s4? i've heard from other carriers that the s4 seemed laggy. not sure if it was the phone or 4.2.2 that caused this.
I'm not super highly sensitive to micro lag and all that shiz but this is sm0o0o0othness.
It was laggy during set up. It seems to have settled now.

I found myself immediately installing the stock launcher after getting it. Worked great, but I went and un-installed it last night, and it seems to have cached everything. I haven't seen lag since. SMS App does lag slightly when switching through contacts, but that was to be expected.

Per charging. The stock charger is 5v 2amp! It charges it amazingly fast however using a computer or any of my other chargers it takes forever. In the case of charging via a computer I feel that it just beats the attrition of using it.
Mine has been incredibly smooth.
Horrible. The lag is extremely noticeable when using the stock SMS and gallery apps. I type a text message, hit back twice, and it takes about 0.5-1 second for what I hit to register. Even when going through the settings there is a noticeable delay, compared to my Note 2 running a custom ROM this thing is slooooowwww.

These are the places I notice it the most. My stock SMS app was giving me hell for a while...constantly not responding. I'd hit back 3 times before it would do anything and then it was like fast forward. I have never used a stock SMS app...always GoSMS. I have been giving the stock apps a chance to use the smart features. When I restored my text messages to the S4 I recall it restoring like 17,000 messages. My GF talks a lot! I then realized that the stock app was giving me crap when I was in a thread that was very large. If I went in a new thread or smaller one it worked fine. I went in settings and changed it to 350 messages and 65 MMS and then delete. I assume it did that at some point because now it's moving smooth on all threads.
With the gallery app, none of them ever load the thumbnails right away. There's always some lag with gray boxes and then the thumbnail appears. This has been the case on all my phones....even Note 2.

I don't remember too much about my Note 2 when stock, but the gallery was extremely slow on that as well. I didn't notice a lag though when going between menus and so forth, so it seems to be a bit worse on the S4.
I used to use GoSMS, but they really went downhill IMO. Lots of spam texts, reminders about other Go software, hardly any free themes anymore, and it got more bloated and slow.
I haven't experienced any lag.
The stock S4 rom is about 2 GB (HUGE). Once we get some debloated roms I think we'll notice a big increase in speed.

Sorry some of you have had or are having issues. I myself haven't seen any lag at all, it's been butter smooth. Also very snappy when i first got it yesterday but have since turned off about half or a little more of the smart stuff. This will be even more amazing once Dan releases the unlock bootloader and the custom ROMs hit.

I've turned off every smart stay and airview feature on this phone, froze/uninstalled about 30 apps, and still have the lag. If you're coming from an older phone like the Thunderbolt, GNex, etc. this phone will seem really fast and smooth, but if you're coming from a new phone (especially one with a custom ROM) such as the S3 or Note 2, the S4 seems slower.
Butter here.
I'm running Nova Launcher. The stock messaging app does seem to stumble a tad with contacts but that is usual.
I have a friend running Slim ROM on his Note II, with Gapps the entire ROM is 97MB. I can barely notice the difference of mine and his and I haven't even rooted this yet. There is virtually no delay from tapping a button till it comes up I'm never waiting for anything. If I'm on it for like an hour I might see something barely stutter once or twice during that hour.
I think it is just from 1 phone to another. Some reviews have no lag in the phone at all while some ppl claim lag all over so I don't know.
I did have horrible lag when I first got it. It took several hours to download all my apps (about 30-40). Everything was soooo sloooow. Same keyboard issues mentioned above.
Once I got everything set up and cut off haptic and sound on keyboard, it's been smooth. Rooted on stock rom with nothing froze. But out of the box, it was pretty laggy.

On paper this is the best galaxy s ever, we all know that, but I have had this phone for 2 weeks now, and I have had the worst android experience on any phone, I had owned every phone on the galaxy s line since the beginning.
I haven't seen any phone with more lags or software flaws than this one.
To begin, the wakeup lag, sometimes more than 10 secs for the phone to wakeup.
The sd card read/write lag, I change my sd card to a Samsung top notch one, and the lag is still noticeable.
Memory issues, I recreates thisnissues in may ways, open up a game (plants vs zombies 2) play for a couple of mins, lock the phone, and see if you can weke it up.
I noticed a bit more smotthnes after the updatw but still the performance on this phone is just awful.
I hope this is an isolated issue, but I have seen a lot of people complaining about the lag as well.

Try using the international stock roms. On the S4, those were MUCH better that the US version roms. I know it requires rooting, but you'll probably be happier and it doesn't really matter if you're outside your return period anyway.
I don't have any of those problems either.

Great phone, no issues, where did you buy yur phones?
I've had the phone for a while now and it hasn't lagged once, the fingerprint scanner works over 90% of the time, and signal is good as well. Yeah, the HR monitor is a total gimmick, but to say this phone is "the worst galaxy" is a bit extreme.
So either I got extremely lucky and got 2 phones without any problems, or some people are getting unlucky with their purchase.

Sometimes, no matter what I've tried, I'll be using the phone and let the screen turn off, When I push the home button, nothing, the phone is still running but I can't see anything, I try to use the power button and again nothing, I have to pull the battery and restart the phone to get it working. There is a group of people that are experiencing the problem and at first people thought it may be SD card related but it is not conclusive at this point. It will work fine sometimes for days, then all of a sudden pull the above mentioned crap.
Exactly, onlast Sunday every time I locked the screen it would never wakeup, I had to remove the battery like 3 times, it has been OK for the las 2 days though, but this is frustrating, I mean, I haven't even rooted the phone yet, I read that 4.4.3 is on its way, hope that addresses these performance issues.

Yes I agree this phone is very laggy specially the camera they send me a "new" phone and the problem still there, also i usually charge it at night
and this morning the screen was on the boot screen logo i had to remove the battery it sucks
So, I keep researching the reasons of why some of us have this issues, today I went to the "t-mobile my account" app, went to options and deselected all the options (ALL OF THEM), and I notice the fun is a lot smoother, probably the placebo effect, but I will keep trying for a couple of days, if you guys want give it a try.
No issues here, touch wood, using T-Mobile phone on AT&T network.

I've only had the phone for about a week but it's amazing so far, I upgraded from a S2. I play Ingress constantly and lately I've been able to play for 4+ hours at a time before needing to recharge and that's just on the stock battery. I removed all the bloatware I could and turned most everything off just to try and squeeze out every little bit of battery life. The only thing bugging me about the phone so far is that root would void my warranty and I'm a little upset about that but meh, it's not like I ever needed it I'm just a little worried because the phone is so new. I might just wait until the 12 months is up and root the phone then. So far I don't really have a reason to need root but I'm sure that desire will gain in traction as new tools for the device get released. I'm mostly thinking about mods like Cyagenmod, that will be one of the reasons I root and break Knox if I do before the warranty.

On paper this is the best galaxy s ever, we all know that, but I have had this phone for 2 weeks now, and I have had the worst android experience on any phone, I had owned every phone on the galaxy s line since the beginning.
I haven't seen any phone with more lags or software flaws than this one.
To begin, the wakeup lag, sometimes more than 10 secs for the phone to wakeup.
The sd card read/write lag, I change my sd card to a Samsung top notch one, and the lag is still noticeable.
Memory issues, I recreates thisnissues in may ways, open up a game (plants vs zombies 2) play for a couple of mins, lock the phone, and see if you can weke it up.
I noticed a bit more smotthnes after the updatw but still the performance on this phone is just awful.
I hope this is an isolated issue, but I have seen a lot of people complaining about the lag as well.
