Hi all
I just got mine V30 and right now I'm noticing some input lag and stutter when scrolling in apps. First few seconds screen is reacting fine and following my finger just fine, but after some time I can see delay between them. I am not terribly picky about some kinds of lag, but any kind of scrolling issues drive me crazy. I'm not using LastPass and there are no unnecessary apps on the phone, all clean. Here we can see what this is about. Does ANYONE notice the same thing on their cell phone?
If your LG V30 is rooted, install a custom kernel, from Play Store try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps should help. Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering, Disable HW Overlays" should make the beast smoother/snappier.

Ive noticed this sinse ive bought the phone but i cant see why it lags so much on the simple task ie. when on the home screen it stutters when scrolling through the home panels ( i do have quite a bit of widgets but that shouldnt make a diffrence ) the browser on the other hand is fine? . One other thing ive noticed is that the camera takes quite a bit of time to take to picture and ready itself for a next one? the pictures still look amazing but my freind has a single core desire hd which has the same results instantly? Is there a fix to this in a rom or such im currently running a stock rom which has had the mods so that it doesnt lag?
Possibly bloatware? Try going into the privacy & security settings and do a factory wipe + usb wipe as well. If you bought the phone from carrier, this should hopefully remove all the carrier bloatware apps. If they are still there, then that means the bloatware is built into the ROM and you can't get rid of it without rooting and a custom ROM.
anyway there is absolutely no reason why the phone should be sluggish at the home screen. The stock touchwiz is already the smoothest stock launcher out there imo

The lag most prob is to do with having lots of Widgets remove them and see if it makes it better.
Not noticed a delay with the camera app tbh might be to do with the focus options, you could mess about with the see if it speeds it up.
Yeah having too many widgets might be one factor, personally ive no lag whatsoever.
how do you have your phone set up so i can use the same rom as you etc.?
Bro we hav same prob but mine even worse..item age:1week(without root),1widgets, was downloaded 15 application from Android Market(Antivirus Free,Quadrant Standard,Fruit Ninja,Battery Indicator..etc).RAM status frequently maximum 355MB in use after clear 248-258MB. Setting Power Saving Mode. Rate with Quadrant Standard 3107point. The Main problem are 1)DELAY-(when open application such as clock, calendar, calculator,downloads,message inbox... average delaying 3-4sec), 2)LAGGING-(sometimes open gallery delay up-to 18sec, Playing Third Blade with delay performance, sometimes no response), 3)FORCE CLOSE-(When open new tab with Internet Browser, No Response while Playing certain Market Games-Task Manager status took-off all processing speed.Half Playing of Fruit Ninja, no response, auto jump to main menu...Somehow no solution to fix it....
Hi OP i have the same problem with the camera lag as well....recently ive notice a distinctly longer waiting period for the photo to save before the next shot is ready. anyway i thought it was my imagination until i compared it with my friend's S2 - which was lightning fast when processed.
If anyone have ideas on how to rectify the issue that would be really great!

You have power saving mode activated? Then turn it off!

hi man
i had this weird thing with my sgs2 it was laging alot
but the proplem was with the clock widgets when i removed them the phone was smooth !
just try that it might work with like it did on mine
Hey guys I noticed earlier that my Netflix app was ALOT smoother than it used to be before the ICS update but several others disagreed with me so I was confused. Then I remembered that I enabled this setting in the developer options menu in the android settings, "Force GPU Rendering". Make sure you enable that, close Netflix and start it back up and it should be a million times smoother after you do that. Hope this helps.
Definitely shows great improvement
Learned from GNex with ICS, this option may also FC some apps.
Do not force GPU rendering.
Leave it to app developers to turn it on and make sure nothing goes wrong. Forcing GPU for all apps will make some apps force close and some apps simply slower. If you use a lot of apps there's a chance that while some apps will be faster, others will become slower and more choppy. Read Galaxy Nexus forum for a lot of information on this.
i tired it and it didn't seem to do any difference.
Force GPU Rendering in Transformer Prime
Beware of Force GPU Rendering - DO NOT Enable it
Although some apps appear to run smoother with this option enabled, there are apps that become laggy or even crash with this option. Sometimes the touch response can also degrade. You may also see broken lines and artifacts. The option has no effect on vast majority of games that use GPU anyway. Thus, its not really worth the trouble - it is meant for developers to test/verify their older apps.
Please leave it up to app developers to turn it on for their apps - otherwise you may experience a buggy Transformer Prime with random lockups and crashes
If you do decide to use it - Please make sure you do a COLD BOOT (shut it down, and then press volume down and power button together to boot up). You may also want to clear the cache data for certain apps. This will help some apps to work better with the GPU option - and avoid some undesirable force close.
Thanks but I will leave mine enabled. The smoothness outweighs the 1 or 2 apps that dislike it (I really can't find any)
Have had it enabled since the minute I got the OTA.

thanks, I would be thankful if someone can experiment and share their findings regarding the following observation I had with my prime.
Please try Google Earth with and without Force GPU (dont forget to cold boot after changing the option) and see if you notice any subtle difference. Although at first it appears smoother with force GPU enabled, I sometimes find there are hidden lines displayed on edges of the globe. Also in a slower wifi connection, sometimes the touch response becomes less responsive, as the app waits to render/download the image data. It seems force gpu time to time affects the way the process priority is handled (touch response vs rendering of the globe). Clearing the force gpu restores the correct behaviour in slower connections.
May be this behavior is just random and isolated to my prime, but would be great if someone can try it and confirm.
It would be nice if there was a list of apps that become buggy with this option enabled in the Transformer Prime. There is a list for galaxy nexus that might be indicative of what might not work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372007
Also please note that for all apps that are released for Android 4.0 ICS will have GPU rendering turned ON by default with or without the "Force GPU rendering" option enabled. So, this option is for OLDER apps only, this option has no effect on newer apps and games.
As application developers start updating their older apps for ICS, they will turn it on for their apps to take advantage of GPU rendering. So, keeping your apps up-to-date from Android Market is the RECOMMENDED approach for getting the best reliability and performance.

chrome beta was design for ics so it must be using gpu for default but when i tried open the chrome settings it looks laggy and when i tried using force gpu the setting looks smooth!
Tried this on my gtab 10.1 running cm9
Enabling it makes Flipboard a lot smoother.
"Beware of Force GPU Rendering - DO NOT Enable it* "Although some apps appear to run smoother with this option enabled, there are apps that become laggy or even crash with this option. Sometimes the touch response can also degrade. You may also see broken lines and artifacts"
One answer; It can not be more worse...

Developers have all the fun
With this option enabled, if you scroll a list the CPU will not get past 500 Mhz, without it the CPU will go 100% if you scroll fast (tested it on SGN). So it is providing some battery savings at least....
ON SGN with this option enabled Reduce Photo does not work (crop FC) and SNote /SMemo is much slower.
Good, but not always the best option
Enabling this preference in developer options offloads task of rendering window components like buttons, text and complex 2d graphics calculations to GPU. This often results in much faster UI rendering including animations.
On one side you will definitely achieve better frame rate (and hence smooth experience) throughout system, but you may end up using more battery. On certain devices, GPU consumes more power the CPU, hence you may observe 5-15% lower battery life with option enabled.
offloading UI rendering to GPU has obvious benefits so that CPU can work on other important tasks like database IO, data manipulation, layout calculations and responding to other user inputs.
I would recommend having this option enabled on devices with weaker CPUs e.g. You should seldom need to enable this on dual-core 1.4ghz ARM CPU or better. Its best bet to have it switched off on quad-core CPU devices.

hi,i havent ever heared about such a booting metod guy! what the difference with normal boot from off state?
really will some apps(may be a game) toggle this option in background?how to get asured about that?
excuse bad Eng.
So today I found out that my phone isn't running well.
I'm not expecting the Sony UI to be perfect, lag-proof and anything, but I think the problem hasn't gone out and there's something wrong.
My phone constantly stutters and you get a bit of lag whenever I swipe from left to right, in the app drawer, the notification menu and when I'm opening apps. I've set the animation speed to 0.5x and it still stutters, paired with bits of lag. I'm looking for the smooth and fluidic transitions and animations but I'm just not getting it.
This happens each time I put my phone to sleep and wake it up after. It isn't the screen wake up lagging, but the UI itself. The animations start to stutter and lag then.
The solutions I have made are; restarting the device, which can get annoying every now and then; and freeing up space, which worked once and the problem went back again.

Is there a solution to this? I have installed more than 80 apps and I think it's one of the contributions to the problem.
And to be honest I have some OCD and it quite annoys me.

Do a clean flash via Flashtool (wipe everything), try with latest Lollipop update. After that install your apps one by one and try to figure it out which one is cause of your problems. :good:
I was totally happy with my G5, have it now since 4 weeks. Everything was perfect. But suddenly, out of nowhere, I have this weird micro stuttering (reduced smoothness) everywhere where I can scroll. In the app drawer (Nova launcher), in scroll lists like the app lists in the Play Store App, in the Settings menu, mostly everywhere, in Chrome too, in the notification bar when swiping it down. It doesn't happen always though but with a high chance. It's mostly hard to describe but I would say, that before it was always 60fps animations, and now it's not anymore. It's not totally broken (maybe 30-50fps), but not smooth. You can notice it really well when you scroll really slow with your finger up and down with a rhythmic interval and look at the screen animation how it stutters, it's no smooth animation like it used to be. It's especially worse in the settings gui when you slowly scroll down, the screen will stutter a few frames behind the animation time.
It's not rooted nor did I install any apps whats soever lately which could cause this. I even tried to remove some apps I have installed over the last days, with no effect. Tried to reboot of course too several times.
I am totally sure, that it was silky buttery smooth before this everywhere.

You can solve this by going to Setings/Developer Settings/ Tick "Force GPU Rendering"
My unrooted LG G4 is smooth because of this.
If U have root! Try L Speed / Trimmer fstrim / Entropy. try these 3 apps found on the Play Store.

Sadly that didn't change anything, I already had tried it before, because I knew that "trick". Also "Disable HW overlays" didn't change anything if toggled.
Well, its Android so you can always factory reset the device easily. You can also use LG backup to restore app data I think. Should be pretty painless assuming sync is enabled on your phone (google photos + account backup ..contacts calendar etc..).
Isn't your internal storage getting full?
The two big ones are the animations that play when opening multitasking and when opening the keyboard. Instead of playing the animation, it just skips it. Has anyone had this issue?
Disregard this. I turned off Developer Tools and it went back to normal. I didn't change anything in the options to trigger this so I'm still a bit confused
Actually, I dont know why, but sometimes when you open the camera app it can trigger developer options and turn off animations for some reason.
Only on LG phones ..
