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!

Improvements:
- Mini apps - Use some apps on top of your other running apps.
- Place apps in a folder on your home screen.
- Take screen capture.
- Theme is much more smoother.
- Slide notifications to remove.
- Improved settings menu.
- Cradle option "Choose action" when when you place your tab in dock"
- On lockscreen chose between unclock and use camera.
- Camera is optimized.
- Disabling built-in apps |Hogaburger|
- Google Chrome |Bojanglez|
- and some other little stuff.
Disadvantages:
- Screen flickering ( Sometimes )
- Can't personalize your app menu anymore.
- No face unlock ( but I don't care )
- Still a scratching sound while playing music (I think its a hardware prob.)
- And some more can't remember right now

All of the above plus you can run Google Chrome.
The mini apps are really cool, Sony did a good job withn them.
google chrome is sweet, im trying to find more apps that require you to have ICS

I'd just like to say that the flickering and audio scratching aren't on every tab. Mine is perfect for audio, and the only flickering I get is for like a quarter of a second maybe 2 times per day... and that's only when launching a game or something so it's not like it happens while I'm in the middle of something.
Also, more advantages:
-the ability to slide to remove the recent apps (also clears from memory).
-Able to play files directly from SD card **PLUS** this works a million times better now!!! I was previously taking my tab with loads of episodes of family guy on it to work everyday. I was having constant problems with audio and video stuttering or even not starting at all. Now it just instantly loads and plays perfectly.
-keyboard input lag is gone (one of the best improvements in my opinion. I nearly destroyed the tab 100 times from trying to respond to emails and it taking forever)
I was actually going to buy the ASUS transformer prime as soon as it became available... but after this update I'll definitely be able to hold out for the next sony one now. I also love the calculator lol. I strangely find myself needing a calculator while I'm in the middle of an app ALL the time...but that's probably just me lol.

Yes thats correct the flickering doesnt happens that often and its not a problem for me i dont care and this tablet thats my opinion is not a good music player
And +1 for the your calculator info lol
its not just "smoother UI", thats really not doing it justice.... its night and day in terms of 'snappiness' and finally comes close to the fruit shop experience. ALso no more stupid homescreen crashing/reloading all the time
at least I'm going with what ICS did to my Tegra2 Atrix phone lol so expecting similar boost

yeah and have anyone notice the time difference when you turn the tablet on, its quite fast booting up but its not a big difference just like a small one..
expendable memory. I now have additional 32GB to store video, photo, and music to my 16GB tablet. and it works great! I rooted my tablet before to get this feature. now, it's there without root and it works even better!
native screen shot function!
Disabling built-in apps is a great feature too. Reallllly loving this Google Chrome beta. So long, stock browser.

Although Mahaco's right that this probably isn't the best place for this, this easter egg has been in Android since roughly 2.1 (I think) with new artwork for each version. HC gave you the HC Bee (with a BZZZZZZZ... Toast), Gingerbread gave you a weird Gingerbread Man Zombie painting by an Artist (whose name is in the Toast). This can actually be swapped since it's located somewhere (I've forgotten where) in the framework-res.
Also, for those wondering about the "smoother UI", it is a whole level better since the Android System is now Hardware Accelerated in official ICS updates. This means the UI is able to fully leverage the power of the ULP GeForce graphics chip in the Sony.
Please help me out....I am a big lover of racing games......its stucking on black screen with music playing in the back.....using chainfire 3D with qualcom plugin....thanks in advance...

When screen goes black just lock the screen of the phone and unlock..
I have done that....I mean lock and unlock the screen when it goes black.....is there any other alternative...
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
Locking and unlocking not working for you? I don't know of any alternative..
Well, the solution (for me) was to set in Chainfire3D (at Default OpenGL settings) 2 things:
1. Reduce texture quality
2. Reduce texture size.
Then open the game. It's the only solution. The game will not look very nice, but at least you will be able to play it.
I am not able to run it that way too....I am uploading the screen shot...is any file missing ......there are lot of music files except this folders....

Yes, but it's the only solutions to play this game. That's why i said it will look ugly. Plus you will have to press blindly untill you find "settings menu" or "race" and other stuffs. But if you know how they are positioned it's easy. Luckly for me I played this game on another phone (an Xperia one) and I know how to start a race. I guess it's very hard to play for the first time NFS Shift on S5830i if you can't see any text. The text is there, but you have to press randomly, untill you find it. I'm sorry. But once you enter in a race all problems dissapears (I mean you have no problems seeing the cars, the road or anything else). The only thing is that the image doesn't have a high quality (but it's understandable, knowing that you choosed to reduce texture quality and texture size).
It's a game that worh playing on a S5830i only if you are a big fan of racing cars. My daughter (of 4,5 years old) likes to play this game on my phone (xperia) but she wanted this game on her mom's phone too (S5830i). I had a lot of problems until I made it to work on S5830i, untill I found the solution. Trust me: the solution posted by me it's the only one. I am praying to God to be another one.

»U:good:ninstall & reinstall the game .....
»Use seeder+Reduce texture quality in CF3D+& Clear Cache + RAM before starting the game ......
»See if any other hd game is in your phone then backup that game & uninstall it ....
Good Luck
Good morning, afternoon or evening, this will depend on the moment you are reading this.
About two months ago I get a LG G6 H870i and my previous device was a Zuk Z2, I really was disappointed with the LG G6 in performance, my Zuk was a monster in that and he looks like an ant ...
So, looking for solutions, I tried a lot of things and after a long study, I created this guide on how to increase LG G6 performance in games, I'll put the steps here and now, I hope you guys can enjoy a nice gaming experience after this guide. Note: This was tested in the mobile game PUBG and worked.
Step 1: Enable developer options.
(For this, go to> Phone> Software Information> Assembly Number. Click this at least 5 times quickly, this will enable developer access.)
Step 2: In the developer options, go to> Restrict background processes and select three processes.
Step 3: Select the option> Increase 4x MSAA.
Step 4: Select the option> Force GPU rendering.
Step 5: Go to the "Smallest Width" option and enter 444.
Step 6: Scale during animation 0.5x
Step 7: Animation transition scale 0.5x
Step 8: Window animation scale> Off.
This is the end of this guide, some of these settings I used to gain more fluidity and greater battery savings, they are good for games too eventually.
I can not forget to say that when your handset is turned off or unplugged and you turn it back on, the background process option will return to the factory default, so you should re-enable it when you play or want better device performance.
This is 100% safe and all the options in this guide can be returned to your default. I hope this helps you and had fun playing.
Editing: I am providing a video link with a game test with the settings in this guide.
Link: https://youtu.be/QHHASgQwXB4
well, limit background apps is the thing here...
adjust the dpi to 444 is like make you eyes cry almost for so small things will be, and this didnt improve nothing - belive me. i have mine set to 369 and its best dpi you can set for this device.
and, since you disable window animation, why dont disable all other scale animations and animation transitions?! its all good to be disabled and this will improve overall speed when navigate all around menus and things.
other than that Force GPU rendering and increase 4X MSAA is ok to turn on for gaming, but better disable Force GPU when you want better battery life since this will push GPU clock at max.

Well I like DPI 444, but this should work on other DPI numbers, I provide this number in my guidebook, because I did not want anyone trying, had different experiences from me, so I put everything exactly the way I use it.
The window animations are a bit strange if you disable them all, I'd rather leave at least, although it's just visual, I prefer them that way.
I got 7h of screen and 9h even with the GPU configured so, so I do not think consumption is all this...
But thanks for your comment!
I'm uploading a test video to YouTube with these settings in this guide.
Thanks for posting this. I have tried different settings myself. I did find that the device performs much better when the display width is close to screen DPI, with small to large font size.
Do check the boot animations and it's fluidity when you change the DPI of the screen and update if you can.
Cheers.
Step 3: Select the option> Increase 4x MSAA.
Why would this improve performance?
If anything it should do the opposite because it's supersampling

well, i must say i hae pretty much same SoT as you, with all animations off and MSAA disable/unchecked and Force GPU disabled too, must say Melina Kernel and a pretty good debloat (for people who are rooted) make this phone a huge deal.
Having mine since May last year and my first's SoT are around 6 and half to 8 hours, now with little changes here and there (debloat, build.prop changes, edit some xml to enable google services going doze too and melina kernel) well, have almost everyday 7 to 8.
well, i dont gaming, i just play Rendo 3D, but even with 50% brightness all time i can go like 3h Rendo, 2h Youtube and 2 hours of browse web and some 30/40 video call on whatsapp.
dont forgot to charge the phone when you have 20 to 30% and let it go out of battery once or twice per month, this will increase the life span of it.
Hello, I've had the bright idea to try this when searching for the battery management thingy that breaks all the fps in games. It's not perfect, but at least i have a mostly constant framerate (around 35-45 fps in Genshin Impact)
I did this on 12.0.8 Global, stock with no root or unlocked bootloader.
What do you need:
SetEdit app from Play Store
Internet connection
Patience to fiddle with all of this (optional if you want to test more things out)
How to do it:
Go to Settings > Battery & performance > App battery saver > Find the game and choose "no restrictions"
Open SetEdit and edit the values of "peak_refresh_rate" and "user_refresh_rate" to 90 (you can try other values as long as it's not exactly 60 or 120 to trigger the battery management setting)
Optional: Enable "Force 4x MSAA" from the Developer Options.
And you're pretty much done from here.
If you wanna see the refresh rate you can go to Developer options and enable "Show refresh rate" or in "Power monitor" press start on the first square.
This did the trick for me and i stopped getting constant fps drops from 30 to 12fps or so. If you find any better solution feel free to comment it here.
is it safe to enable Force 4x MSAA in developer options?
