Hi Xda forum,
I sent my Prime for repair after the hdmi port was not working. Right now, I'm am getting lags when swiping between homescreens quickly and i'm in balanced mode.The lag seem to improve when I switch to performance mode but it still exist. And also when clicking on the app drawer there is slight lag as well.
I would like to know if any of you guys are having the same issues as me ?
Please try it out for me, I really want to know if its a defective hardware problem.
Thanks
Regards,
Venz
my prime works great in balanced mode. when I'm not overclocked, I always use the 1.2Ghz balanced mode. no lag at all. everything moves fast as far as swiping thru homescreens, launching apps, loading web browser pages, scrolling thru web browser pages, etc...
try a fresh reboot to see if it clears things up. if sounds like you installed a bad app or widget or something. check the last things you downloaded. then uninstall one by one to see if it clears issue.
Ya,I've tried all types of reset.There always a very small lag when swiping across screens quickly and sometimes when clicking the app drawer.I find the prime pretty smooth hefore the repair.Confused.
Thats not normal.....i dont even see any lag when im on power save.
i run it in balanced and everything is super smooth. i have not been able to make it lag yet. only while using Wifi certain games(Glu) will lag.
other than that Nothing.
I've found the biggest thing that affects homescreen performance is the number of screens and widgets. Are your screens pretty cluttered? What launcher are you using?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
I don't run Launchers or have numourous number of widgets on my homescreen.Even after a factory reset/Wipe/hard reset, I get slight lag that appears when sliding across homescreens.
I told the asus service staff about this but their reply was "It passed all the required test and there's nothing wrong with your tablet"

Do you mean you are having lag on HDMI? Because I think everyone misunderstood you here and think that you are having lag while using the touch screen. I don't have an HDMI cable to test your problem out though...
I run my tablet always on the balanced mode. I have never see any lag while swiping. In fact I am using multipic live wallpaper with random effects. Since last one week I am using Go Launcher HD Beta. Give a try with different launcher.

Yes,I'm having lag while using the touchscreen.Not a big one just small stutters.It doesn't really show up when i'm in performance mode.

you shouldnt have to do that with the prime in my OP anyway. i mean if it fixes it great. but this thing should not have any lag as far touch screen flipping through home screens. i even cluttered my screens up last night after reading your post with pictures, and widgets and live wallpaper to have have as much going on as possible. and didnt see any lag on any cpu setting.
i would try and find a way of getting it replaced.
that would bug the hell out of me........
Live wallpaper? If you a live wallpaper such as the Asus Water ones it will lag a little bit especially when the animation is starting after you wake up your screen.

i didnt use that one. just simply because i do not like it.....but i will use that one to test with when i get to the house.
and he was only talking about flipping through home screens.....not the start up lag. so thats what i was reffering too.

Thanks alot Guys! I have returned my prime back to the service center.Furthermore, I tried out a Prime display set and noticed no lags whatsoever.
The lagging bothers me so much !
Hi Forum, I just got back my prime from Asus. It got it's motherboard replaced again. But i'm still finding lags and stutters ....I don't what is the issue..seems like Asus can't figure it out too.
Do you have any suggestions on what could it be ?
Build Number : 9.4.2.15
Kernel version 2.6.39.4
AnTuTu Benchmark v2.7.1 (In performance mode) : 10610
CPU frequency : 1600 MHz
your score seems right for your device. you have something going on in the background causing lag. try this. go into settings. then developer options. then turn of window and transition animations. then force gpu rendering. that should speed you up. although that's not required as my out the box setup was lag free, that will speed device up. as far as ui n such goes. do you have any oddball Widgets on homescreens or anything? also download a free app called system panel. it will show you what apps are running. this shows alot more than Asus task manager. if you see something running that's active, and you not using it or shouldn't be running, just kill it.

Hi Demandarin, thks for the suggestion. I tried it but there isn't any improvements. I just noticed one thing, there isn't any lag when I click on the sides...the homescreen shifts smoothly but whenever I swipe it across the screen, there's a very small stutter during the transition period.

Hi Demandarin, just one question...I launched system panel lite app, settings > Dev info > Under the CPU section : Processors/Cores : 4
SYSFS CPUs Present : 4
Processor : 3 << Is it suppose to be like this ?
both powersave and balanced modes limit the framerate to 35fps, it is not totally unreasonable that some people are able to see the difference, while the vast majority do not.

I don't think its anything to be worried about. maybe just false reporting in the dev. info section.
On Phone-Bricker 2.0.1 I've noticed the CRT off animation doesn't always work correctly. After the animation plays, the screen will sometimes flash quickly before going completely dark.
This might be a common issue (there's some discussion in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505230), but is there any way to fix this? If not, is there an easy way to disable the CRT animation?
I noticed this with SHOstock2. I'm not a fan of the CRT animation in general (I always disable it), so I wasn't 100% sure GB wasn't the same. I'm expecting issues like this for a while in the ICS builds. I don't think any of the devs have posted a disable zip yet.

Yeah, if I have to choose between ICS with slightly buggy CRT animation or GB, I can live with the little bug. I guess this is just the universe's way of forcing some patience on me.

I too am anxious to get rid of the CRT off from Shostock2. Always strikes me as overly flashy, ala HTC Sense UI (though I believe it actually originated with Motorola)

I don't even have CRT off modded yet.
So I assume you have a theme from the i9100 section, only way to turn it off is to remove the theme or wait for me to make a restore file when I add CRT.
But this is a common issue with ICS.
I found a way to turn off the CRT animation. It probably turns off other animations, but I can't notice what else changed.
Settings > Developer options > Window animation scale > animation is off.
The transition animations are different, and can be left on.

Ah sorry I didn't mean to blame you
CRT off must be from Vertumus's theme then. I'll look for how to disable it over in his thread.

I think that setting affects window animation speed. Try setting it to 10x, then try opening some menus or adding a widget to your homescreen. You should see the menus appear a lot slower now.

Just set windows animation scale to 0.5x. In cm9, this disabled crt effect and increased other "window animations" by 2x. But in reality almost all other animations are "transition animations" so you won't even notice any difference.

Now that you mention that, I remember trying it, just not the menus in the home screen. I did notice the difference it makes to unlock the phone. The lock screen is also a "window" I guess.

Setting it to 0.5 will not double the times, it will half them. Its a multiplier vs a divisor. But yeah, it seems the Transition animation is the vast majority of animations.

Many thanks for this! I've been trying to find how to remove this to take advantage of "NoLED" on the market. Works great!
I don't know if this is even possible, but after almost 5 days running the 2.1 update, the flash on the crt animation is gone. I don't know how... the first night and day, I was getting the random re-flash of the screen after the crt animation, but I haven't noticed this happening in the past couple days. No idea...

Its random sometimes it doesn't happen to me all day then the next day it happens every screen off.
Yeah, I got up this lovely Easter morning, and I am getting the flash back on the animation, I shouldn't have said anything. I did notice my problem is only when I am on the lockscreen, hit the power button, check the time or whatever, then hit power again to sleep, THAT'S when I get the flash, if I am on any other screen and want to sleep the screen, I don't get the flash back. Maybe it has something to do with the lockscreen...

Very smooth! All it needs is the call and lock circles aligned and its go time.
I have actually had to random reboots and my screen is flickering a little when just on the home screen. Its not perfect for sure but not bad for the first nightly, at least in my opinion.
I'm getting the flickering on the homescreen and whenever I'm using the Swype beta keyboard... everything else is working great! If I can get the damn flickering to stop, this Rom will become my DD...

Why, I'm glad you ask! I was just about to let everyone know that disabling HW overlays (or, also, changing debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer from three to 2 in build.prop) will severely impact graphical performance. It may get rid of the flicker, but your performance will take a hit.
My biggest frustration with Jelly Bean on our device thus far that keeps pushing me back to CM9 has been that it is WAY behind in graphical smoothness when Jelly Bean's primarily advertised feature is the graphical smoothness that Project Butter provides. I have to say that I just flashed this nightly build though and it's the smoothest experience I've had yet in Jelly Bean. It's not quite up to par with stable ICS in smoothness but is getting closer.
At the moment, the solution I propose for the flickering of the screen is to use ROM Toolbox to change the debug.mdcomp.maxlayer setting from 3 to 2, then reboot and change it back from 2 to 3, then reboot again. Once you cycle it, the flicker deosn't appear to return and since you're putting the hardware compositing setting back, you don't have to kill your performance to get rid of the flickering! I had success with this method but others may not. Report here to let everyone know.

I am afraid we may have to wait for an S2 official OTA to fix this. It's gotta be something that Sammy has messed with, as we are having the same issue on JB builds for the Tab 7 Plus and the Tab 7.7.
These are Exynos devices, too, so its not an Adreno220 problem from what I can tell.

Tried it and it didn't work. I'm guessing these minor bugs will be fixed in the nightlies.
yeah, I tried the build.prop settings shuffle, and it didn't work. The only thing working on mine is the Disable HW Overlay setting in dev options. Thanks for the idea, though!

Since you have it checked now try going back in and unchecking it. Do you get the smoothness back without all the flickering? I just tried it and it seems to work for now.
I found the gremlin that was causing the constant homescreen flickering for me on this nightly and on Manel's 8/27 kang.
In my case, it was a setting in Apex Launcher that had to be turned off:
Apex Settings -> Homescreen Settings -> Hide Notification Bar
So, if you're running Nova or Apex, make sure to turn off the setting that auto-hides the notification bar. Doing that and setting the maxoverlay value to "2" in the build.prop fixed me right up!

I think it does slow it down, but changing it back to 3 brings the flickering back, so that's not an option for me.

Aside from turning off animation, is there anything else that can be done to improve UI performance(snap) on this unit?
I heard and read somewhere if you use nova launcher to change the icons (UI) instead of using the touchwiz (UI) ones it will be quite a bit faster i heard, i have not tried it myself yet .

As per your recommendation, I downloaded and installed Nova launcher.
As it turns out, I liked it so much that I bought the Prime version.
Excellent util.
If you have Nova and take out 'icon labels' it even makes it snappier, not for some people but it does help even further. I really like touchwiz but the lag is awful.
Nice to hear that I am going to have to try it also then and see it for myself..enjoy it forsure as it suppose to make the mega more snappier.

My particular unit is from Bell mobility.
Any idea what would be considered bloatware on those units?
If you don't use it... it is bloatware
A good practice is to disable or hide as many apps as possible, and if you have to enable them or un-hide them... keep them.
bloatware for some = essential utility for others.
I love using my phone as an IR remote when my significant lady has the real remote in her hand... take back the power!

Good point. I posted a list of all the stuff I disabled in the benchmark thread. Ive since disabled even more. Hiding the apps does nothing to free up resources. These is a ton of apps that would really never get used.
True... hiding apps does nothing for performance... but hiding is sometimes a "better" option for the squeamish.
I use the same idea for possessions... put things in storage... if you dont use them after X amount of days/weeks/months then "delete" them.

Go into developer options and set the animations to "0"..
If you don't see the developer options, then you need to go into SETTINGS - MORE - ABOUT DEVICE and tap the build number a bunch of times and you'll get a message that developer options have been enabled.

It's not an actual mode. It is instead a series of system tweaks you can perform from the setup menus to enable improved performance. No rooting or custom ROMs required.
