Has anyone else noticed that the Samsung music widget, when expanded to show the tracks on your phone, scrolls reaaaally slow?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve scrolling, or is this totally a Samsung issue that perhaps nothing but an update will fix?
My guess is it's a Samsung issue.. I'm running into the same thing with the Android Central widget and Redditastic, they both lag like hell when scrolling.
Other launchers show now lag what-so-ever (tried sense and nova), so that pretty much narrows it down to a touchwiz problem.
Oh, I see. I didn't really seem to notice any lag with my other widgets though but thanks for the input on Redditastic and Android Central.
Now I know it's not just my phone but a problem with TW.
Thanks for the reply.

Well, I'm having a frame drop or some kind of lag when im scrolling in application list too fast, sometimes it happens when im scrolling slow. And the same goes for homescreen, sometimes i get like 1 second lag which is very noticeable i don't know if this is normal or Galaxy S2 shouldn't lag like this at all.
I've tried Factory Reset, Change firmware, Data/Cache Wipe.
Im currently running 2.3.4 XXKG2 i got this lag in KF7 and KG1 too
I don't know if everyone is having this problem or only me, even ADW Launcher and Launcher PRO lags a little .. I don't have any heavy application open that can cause this i only have Facebook and eBuddy open.
Do you guys think if i tick Partition and load a .pit file will fix this? Or mabe a Dalvik Cache wipe? :/ Im sad even the iPhone has smoother scrolling u_u
iOS is all about it's interface. You can't compete to it with Android. Never tick partition, why would you think that'd fix it? Are you running a lot of widgets or anything? Because I cannot reproduce this lag you have.
If you do all those clean installs and wipes and flashes, the cause just can't be your phone itself. After the flashing, do you restore your apps using some titanium backup or something? Maybe the settings or apps are a little faulty.
Try using a CPU monitor to see if anything sucks up CPU power, because I can't imagine the phone lagging from nothing.

You're not going crazy buddy. My HTC Sensation 4G exhibits the same problem when scrolling through lists. This is annoying as hell while my friends Nexus S flies all over the damn place!
Note to HTC: You don't know how to code. Stop with it! You can make merry in your wet dreams but give us the option, as users paying $500, to kick sense to the curb like the dirt it is.
PS I am using GO Launcher EX which is awesome.
I was in stock KF3 --> NO LAG Installed KH3----->LAG when scrolling between homescreens Went back to KF3--->NO LAG Installed KH4----> LAG when scrolling between homescreens. BUT this LAG goes away if i choose Live Wallpaper! I dont wanna have Live Wallpaper cos it drains the battery...I use stock wallpaper with only few icons on 1st and 2nd homescreen and BOOM here's the lag!!

I had the same issue. Went from original 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 and Lag'd, so went back, now on 2.3.6 and still lagging.
The live wallpaper fix does actually fix the issue as well, which is weird. I only run 2 widgets on my desktop.
If anyone has any ideas it'd be much appreciated.
EDIT: Just had a quick play around with it. It seems if I remove the Program Monitor widget that samsung use initially, it removes any lack. Stupid TouchWiz.

thank!!
i just upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6.
i was wondering why is the home screen scrolling so choppy, its like 3 fps only.
i did a full wipe and clear cache, but its still the same.
after reading your post, i tried to remove the program monitor widget and my scrolling is back to normal.
why program monitor widget cause lag in this 2.3.6 version?
it was smooth in 2.3.3, unbelievable, samsungs own widget causing lag.
I bought a Samsung galaxy tab a few weeks ago, I love everything bout it except the lag, scrolling is choppy, interface is laggy etc... is there anyway of fixing this without rooting?

Probably not. From what I've read and seen personally myself, rooting it and installing a new ROM will get you better results. It'll still be slightly choppy until we get to an Android version that has hardware acceleration (from what I understand).

Rooting the tab and installing a custom rom (like In Paris v5) with a custom kernel (like pershoots kernel) reduces the lag drastically.
However to get fully rid of lag, the UI needs to be hardware accelerated as well which is one of the features of android 4.0 ice cream sandwich which should be out in the coming months.
are you on the latest touchwiz update? Samsung made some good improvements in that one. Though for me rooting and installing custom stuff is a lot of fun
Using a replacement launcher can help a lot. ADW EX launcher works great on the tab and drastically reduces lag scrolling through home screens.
ADW launcher crashes too often for me. When I press the "home" icon to exit an app, I would get a blank screen for a couple of minutes, until it force close the launcher. I don't get this with stock browser.

I use adw since two mouths now and I never had this problem maybe it is related to your custom rom?
Has anyone noticed their homescreen has gone laggy when moving from screen to screen?
I like the default launcher, so I'm in no position to change it, but it's developed alot of lag since I first bought it exactly a week ago today.
Only plays up on the default launcher.
had mine over a month, and I find it to be the fastest android tablet in terms of switching screens...very smooth experience over here so far.
Thanks for the response - I wonder if a data reset would do the trick.
agreed that it is one of smoothest tablets on the market. I sometimes experience lag if I have a live wallpaper active. perhaps getting a task killer with a widget on the home screen could help quickly kill anything running in the background that could be the culprit of the lag.
Everything is running smoothly except the home screen and I don't really want to have to do a reset.... hmm
Have you loaded up your screens with tons of shortcuts? If I remember correctly it made my homescreen animations jerky but I then switched to Launcher Ex.

theres nothing on my homescreens lol
I agree with the OP, the launcher's performance is sub-par. I don't have any live wallpapers, or hardly any icons, no widgets, and I can see it's not perfectly smooth. I installed ADW Launcher which is clearly significantly faster and what I would consider perfectly smooth and fluid. Anyone that thinks their launcher isn't choppy probably just needs to compare against a trial install of ADW.
I like the look of the default launcher though lol
I find this very strange that people are experiencing this lag. I am using the default launcher, a few incons on main screen, and at least one widget on every other screen, some 2 or 3 widgets, and still super smooth... way better than samsung tablets, asus, motorola, etc....
Should I do a reset in the short term?
Hi guys!
So overall Jelly Bean is great. It made everything faster and smoother for me in general.
There are 2 areas though that kinda suck since the update (yes i did a factory reset after the upgrade! And i have gpu 2d acceleration enabled - also tried with disabled):
-Rotation on the homescreens. If i rotate the tablet on the homescreen the icons rebuild and its laggy for a second. But if I rotate twice in succession eg. landscape->portrait->landscape it takes about 5-10 seconds until the icons reappear. Its not that bad but somewhat annoying. Seems like the whole launcher restarts or something because it also is laggy for some seconds after the icons reappear.
Do you guys experience this as well? I guess it could be fixed by nova launcher though.
-Google play store! So this is really strange. The start screen of the play store where you have the tiles is really smooth. But as soon as i swipe to the right where all the icons of the apps are vertical scrolling is really laggy. Also when all the icons are loaded. It just stays laggy.
Of course these things arent too bad at all But there's room for improvement! On my SGS III with the polish test rom these areas are completely smooth. Any ideas to get rid of that, or is it the same for you?
hey, i have an other homescreen issue:
when coming back to homescreen (from apps, drawer or anything else) all my widgets on homescreen are vanished...i need to swipe to the left or right, just a few mm to make them appear again...
have this in nova launcher prime and stock trebuchet...can anybody confirm?

Has anyone else experience this? So far it's happened on both my phone and my friends. All widget animations are choppy. For example scrolling on the stock email widget is choppy and transitions with the feedly widget is choppy as well. I didn't experiance this with my note 4 so anyone else having the same issue?

same here !!
I get this too with the default touchwiz launcher. With nova launcher it's perfectly smooth.
I switched out of TW a day ago. Moved to Nova and never looked back.
