Is anyone else experiencing lag? Even with 3gb of ram I can still feel the lag. I'm rooted with stump root and have the nova launcher installed but when opening up youtube or yahoo mail it takes a good 3 seconds before the app opens up. When opening up other apps it lags about half a second and the same goes for closing apps.
Am I the only one with this issue?
Pretty sure that's not lag it's normal and also depends on your internet connection
I'm experiencing some lag as well coming from a rooted galaxy note 2 with custom ROM & kernel. I'm afraid there aren't many options until developers start working on this wonderful new toy of ours.

No having lag issues.
Running stock launcher with bloat disabled.

So because the app takes a while to open means lag isn't the issue? It takes about 2 seconds for the torch to start also after tapping on the widget which seems weird to me.

As far as the torch goes, that's app related and not the phone. Some of those apps just take longer to launch, especially those torch apps. Saw this on my moto x as well. Try another torch app.

OK my phone has been acting weird for a while. I have a Samsung Vibrant, running CyanogenMod 7. Now when I have freshly done a wipe, the thing runs like a dream. Menus open and close with no problem, no delays or anything when opening the dialer or gallery. I can't say how many apps I have on my phone, but usually when I load about 35-40 different apps, my phone basically becomes almost unusable.
I will press the dialer button and the phone will take 10-12 seconds to open up, the gallery app takes maybe 30 seconds to pull all the pictures up, or some of the pictures don't even load at all. Just horrible lag all around. But as soon as I wipe and reboot everything is smooth as silk again. I wonder if it is the amount of apps or maybe a certain app I am running that is messing things up.
Anyone have any insight on this?
Sounds like your overloading the phone, just delete the apps that you don't REALLY need and you will be good.

Shouldn't the memory manager handle that? it isn't like I have 50 apps running at the same time.
Is it just me or is the phone a bit choppy especially with scrolling in the ui and when scrolling in certain apps like Facebook I used my friends sgs2 and he doesn't have.the same issue am I missing something here?
No choppiness at ALL on my end. Everything smooth so far. As smooth as my international note, Atrix, and SGS2.

This is expected unfortunantley =/
which apps did you freeze? I heard someone freezing certain apps and smemo stopped working
Yeah, I see it too, every once in a while, I tug to move to a new screen and I can see some lag. It's all over the place most of the time it's pretty minimal. I've had a couple of games that freeze for up to two seconds. Very annoying. I'd root but I'll wait till there is a method that doesn't increase the flash counter. I bet then this phone will fly without a hiccup.
FYI - I'm sure you saw that Chrome is now out of beta (check the market for updates), and if you were a bit leery of it not working on the TP with 120 DPI, rest assured it now works flawlessly! I updated it a bit ago and it no longer force closes if you're running a non-stock DPI setting.
Been waiting for this update for a while!
here he is giving too much lag and slow scroll.
you have the same problem?
I did notice some lag and occasional freezing, but i can live with it to get the sync capability back and the "Request desktop site" option - man does that come in handy.

You can get that option in the stock browser...

Still not the smoothest browser. But Chrome will be my main one because I like the syncing features.

the problem here is that it is very slow not to mention that sometimes it makes the screen blink
I'd really like to use chrome as standard but unfortunately does not due to lag
Hello Proud GS3 owners,
I have been loving the phone so far. However I have had a couple of problems. Haven't rooted the phone so far. Just so that you know. Also its my first android so forgive me for any noobishness
The problems i have been facing are :
1. When I use FB for sync in accounts and sync it has the option to sync calendar and gallery. However the calendar doesn't sync. I have tried to unsync and resync it and all other basic steps that I could possibly think of but it doesn't help.
2. This is a bit unusual (Given the phones top specs) but sometimes I have noticed that the phone starts lagging specially when its hot after using it at a stretch. I make it a point to keep closing the apps running in the background but it still lags. Its fine after a few minutes when the phone isn't hot anymore or when it has not been used extensively. What am I doing wrong? Also just to add Nova 3 isn't t as smooth as I have seen it in the videos on youtube. Could it be a hardware issue?
3. This is the one which really bugs me the other two are no biggies. My apps keep redrawing/refreshing when i open them after minimizing. So if I have a game that i am playing and I decide to use the stopwatch and browse I minimize the game using the home key not the back key. Start the stopwatch. Start browsing. Then I return back and when I open the browser the page reloads itself. Also stopwatch resets itself completely which is a pain in the rear. I am using the stock browser.
Also have tried resetting the phone back to factory default and took the phone to samsung and I believe they flashed the stock ROM but all the above issues have not been fixed.
Any help would be extremely appreciated

3rd one is bad software optimization, there is a fix in the development section for Samsung JB based roms, it will let you multitask 7+ apps.
Second problem, you say the phone is hot when it happens? maybe the CPU got hot too and is throttling down, are you sure powersaving mode is off?
First problem, Facebook for android was really bad, it started improving but facebook developers are dumb, try third party apps like friendcaster.
I agree the facebook app isn't great. However it concerns me when my friend who has the same version of GS3 can get his calendar to sync without using any 3rd party app and I cannot. But I will give a 3rd party app a shot.
I will be searching for the thread you mentioned and try to tweak the settings and see how it goes
I am not really sure what can be done as far as the second issue is concerned. Also as I mentioned earlier I hate it when I play a top notch game like NOVA 3 but it isn't as smooth as expected. Other games like fifa 12, Dead trigger hold up fine.
Thanks for the suggestions though
[Edit] : Yes I do make sure power saving is off as I am aware it slows down the CPU and there is a considerable lag specially when scrolling pages on the home screen or the app drawer which I do not like. It does improve the battery life to a certain extent but I cannot complain if I get a battery life of around 10-12 hours which includes 3 hours of screen time with pretty heavy usage while having the power saving mode off

Hi!
I am using Ubuntu Touch (15.04) Build 57 on my nexus 4.
Im using Ubuntu touch since a couple of weeks now but there is one thing that is really annoying. There is an immense lag when swiping from the welcome screen. Sometimes it takes 3-4 seconds until something happens. I noticed that this is most of the time when the standard browser app is running.... is this a known problem?
I tested with many apps running (Camera, Contacts, Phoneapp, Email App Dekko, Message App, System Settings, etc....) except the browser - the phone is fast and the experience is nice, but as soon as the browser is runnning, the phone is barely usable.... and really slow. The browser itself is okay when it is running... Very Strange...
Does anyone has suggestions what i can do? Is there an alternative browser i can test?
Thanks a ton for helping!

Hi,
There's no other browser which you can use (except one which hasn't seen any updates for a couple of months). That's indeed an interesting observation. Would you mind creating a bug report here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app
Hi! thanks - yes i reported the bug - hopefully someone will help me solve this - it's nearly unusable like this...
@zwenson69 Thank you for the bug report.
