Question Laggy scrolling - Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)

Hi!
I've just purchased a Tab A8 and I have a little problem with it.Scrolling is laggy and on the videos that I saw on yt it's smooth.I'm not new for android so I wiped cache and checked the dev setting maybe something can help but I can't solve the issue.The strange that in applications there is no problem.Only in home screen,,in the launcher and settings menu.This lag is kindda the refresh rate is not 60 fps just only 30 fps.Latest Software on it.Any of you have same problem with the device ?

I think the consensus is that One UI is the cause of the lag. Lineage OS, without One UI is smooth.

Thanks I'll try it.

Yeah it helped. Is it worth overclocking this device? I will loose all original OTAs I guess?

If you're experiencing random lag and stutters ...

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but I was having annoying lag and stutters , I still am but it's gotten better , for me it was the Google music widget that I had on one of my homescreens ( I only have 3 homescreens in case you ask) , if you have it try getting rid of it and also deactivate the chrome option to have the chrome tabs shown on "recent apps /task switcher " also try to keep your recent tabs with the less amount of cards possible , I know that the fact that they're there doesn't mean they're opened , maybe it's a placebo effect but it feels like some those apps in there are really running in the background even when they're not supposed to do so, sometimes I used the app days ago and it is in the back of the "cards " and it still is running , they're called "recent apps" not opened apps ...
Google music with material design is really laggy ! I will get rid of it completely but its proving to be quite hard since I really enjoy having my music one click away on the cloud .
Chrome still has its "jank " and chopping scrolling sometimes but there's not much we can do .
I don't really understand the lag , it really it's random , sometimes I'm heavy multitasking and I have no issues and sometimes I'm just using chrome and twitter and it lags like crazy , or it just lags while scrolling on the home screen (google now stock launcher )
Have you had any of these issues ?

So are you basically saying if you have lag in an app. Delete the app and the lag will be gone? Lol... ?

I use Play Music heavily. All access pass, it's my go to music app. Never noticed any lag on it though. I use it all day, every day.

System memory leaks have nothing to do with anything you mentioned.

Well they're bogging the whole is down , the lag is not only on the app so I would suggest delete the app until it gets properly optimized Haha [emoji28]

Read about it yesterday , I'm hoping it really is the cause of the issue but it looks like people with 5.0.1 are still experiencing lag , maybe we have to wait for 5.1?

It think you're mixing things up with iOS here. In Android apps are suposed to continue running in the background. It's on iOS where apps in the background are paused and which features no real multitasking.
I'm using Uber kernel and don't have any lags.

And listening to music for an hour drains 4-6 percent of battery... I thought music was supposed to be lower power...
Anyhow, the only lag I see in that app is when I open it and hit the menu and then my library and scroll over. I'll have a slight second of stutter once I get inside and scroll down my list but other than that it seems smooth for me. Battery leaves less than be desired.
There will always be a slight lag here and there. I too experience lag when open Play Music. Sometimes there's no lag, sometimes there's a slight pause or delay in opening.
I have these kinds of stutters and lags about once a week and that's the time I reboot my phone to flash the latest build of my rom.
There are a lot of memory leaks in lollipop or at least there are in the ROM which I'm using (AICP). System App ram consumption shoots up to 1.4 GB and there's immense lag.
I've started to ignore it since a simple reboot fixes it.
Lol... I was hopping a fix for a stuttering in notification drawer pull....
I didn't expect this :laugh:
I had also serious lags, however, I updated yesterday to GooglePlayServices 6.5.99 (-438) and so far the lag is gone.
Maybe worth a try?

On the Issue Tracker at
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79729
someone today mentioned that same fix and provide a link to the APK. But the post with the link was removed from the issue tracker.
I currently have Play Services 6.5.87 (1599771-438)
When I search the Play Store with Chrome the update shows up
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en
(the update is dated Dec 12, 2014)
However the update does not show up using the Play Store app on the N5 device.
The Google Play website says the update is compatible with all my devices. But on the device list to install the update, my N5 is greyed out and I can only highlight my Android tablet.
Why is Google not allowing me to install the Play Services update on the N5 when I have the previous version?
Or maybe the update is not ready for the N5, just like Android 5.0.1 is not ready?
But how are other folks installing the Play Services update? Link anyone so I can sideload?

scrolling lag/stutter?

Hi guys. I'm currently running Dr.ketans ROM, although I don't believe it's ROM related as it's happened on multiple roms. When scrolling or lock screen notificatiins pop up it lags and stutters, or opening apps ect it's not smooth at all. Anyone have any ideas how to stop it or fix it?
Thanks in advance, much appreciated ?
If you are not experiencing the same issues with the stock Samsung OS, then it sounds like an issue with the 3rd party OS.

I want to try that, but I have a **** load of apps and data that I use daily, plus work stuff and I'm not sure if I can recover it all after a reset. Although it's done it with nothing installed, always have 2.5gb ram plus free, and still have 60gb left ( plus 256 SD )
Any suggestions on backing up and restoring after a reset?
Try checking what apps you have enabled in 'accessibility' settings and try disabling them. For me I had major micro stutter through the UI and also in apps as soon as I enabled accessibility for LMT launcher, I disabled it and all was smooth again.

In android 9 stock there is a bug - when you change the wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper, if you swipe down the quick settings while the phone is locked/in the lock screen - it's super choppy.
Edit: I also reported it and on top of that in bug reports with logs. Waited two weeks to receive: "Thanks for your feedback. You SUGGESTION will be reviewed" rofl... great support and automated answers.

That's the adaptive refresh rate coming into play. AFAIK, I don't think you can force 120hz...and why would you want to? If you wanted that, you can sell this phone and buy an S20Ultra!

Yes with this app and running an ADB command through your PC. Was super easy and now stays on 120hz except for apps that don't support 120hz like Google Maps for example. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...screen-off-aod-adaptive-mod-and-more.4220481/

How often does this happen on your device? I don't use Chrome too often but it is my default Internet Browser and I've never noticed this lag. I just popped open a News site and short test and I'm not seeing this stutter?

I've noticed it usually when the web pages are longer. Like here in xda on the main s21 ultra page. I get more of a jitter when scrolling when the Samsung internet browser looks way more smooth on the very same page.

General Stock vs XiaomiEU smoothness experience.

Guys i recently jumped from stock Chinese to XiaomiEU. I noticed that the phone became laggy with animation.
This thread for those people who actually tried both choices (stock/XiaomiEU stable/beta)
Besides animation with micro lags on opening apps (a specially if they closed in recently menu) there is other weird stuff, example YouTube started to lags in scrolling. Google keyboard sometimes comes up late. Phone after restarting laggy first 2-3 min.
I switched back to full Chinese stock and im shocked how quick and smooth this phone is !
Please share your statistics if you switch from XiaomiEU back to stock.
In my opinion (with full respect to developer) stock debloted root it rom with adaway bringing you a Pixel smoothness... however I can't say similar about EU rom...
Regards
Yes I noticed it's not as smooth as well like not 120 fps all the time while navigating. Also noticed the YouTube scroll lag. If you turn on show fps in developer settings when you load up the YouTube app it drops to 60 fps only.

Stock(debloted/rooted/adaway) 12.5.4 just destroying with speed and smoothest !
I am planing to move to xiaomi.eu as I use android auto most of the times. But the above comments lead me to think twice..
I might keep my CN rom..

Move it for experience and for fun. Comeback later and vote it.
I noted the same thing, but it's not that big of a difference. I also have a question if your main screen starts lagging when you wake up the rear screen?

Oh I read above you had lag with animations on Xiaomi.eu ROM. Im now in waiting period until I unlock my bootloader but I will install Xiaomi.eu after unlock, do you know if GetApps is installed on Xiaomi.eu?
Definitely download getapps as your system apps won't update without it. The EU rom should be coming with it, it shouldn't be deleted it's imperative.

I just finished installing but do not have getapps..time to Google it..
Yesterday, I manage to complete the task of intsalling xiaomi.eu ROM. At first it felt slow but looks like I was spoiled by 120hz on Chinese version. After changing back 120hz, it feels much better.
I will not vote yet as I am stil catching with my apps and awaiting first stable update to see the update process before making any decisions.
All in all, the main reason for this change was android auto for me. I tested and working which makes all this hassle worth for me. I will revert in due course about the smoothness...
Is There still a difference in speed and smoothness or has it leveled out by now ?

What on earth is OPPO playing at with the new update I've just received on my X5 Pro

I have just had CPH2305_11_A.18 pushed to my UK X5 Pro with the April security update and now scrolling in the Google play store is unusable, It's a complete stuttery mess!
I've rebooted twice and still the same, It's so bad It's unreal and not been tested.
This has to be to be down to these stupid LTPO displays messing about with the refresh rate constantly and what makes matters worse OPPO do not have any option whatsoever like Samsung to force 120Hz all the time whether it's in the display options or dev options.
Can someone test this out with the new update, It's a total mess for scrolling in the play store now since the update.
How do we report bugs to OPPO?
Weird it seems to be a little smoother now, I still don't think this variable refresh changing is helping to keep things smooth.
Hey, just tested play store. Yes not the smoothest experience. Seems to get confused between down and sideways swipes. It works fine on an actual list of items.
Glad to see the power button can now actually be a power button. They're clearly listening

Yes it wasn't like that when I got the phone it was smooth in the play store and 100% correct it keeps scrolling sideways even though I am not, No Idea what's going on but it seems a right mess to me.
For sure I was definitely missing that feature with the power button and now they have fixed that at least, I guess they take users feedback which is a positive.
hi there,
i use this to force the 120hz all the time, dont know if will help you with your problem.

Hey thanks for that I think someone else suggested that which worked for YouTube but I wonder if this is a newer version and works with Instagram also I'll give it a go thank you!
Updates seem to always have a processing period where the first few hours/days would have issues in lag. Once the update has finished (including adapting to other apps), it works better.

Apparently, it takes time for the 3rd party apps to adapt to the new update. It is especially true when you're in Beta version.
i agree there are micro stutters gitters throughout the ui on new update. like pulling down notification panel also.

That app doesn't work for me Google photos is a slow refresh rate, but if I use the one from the Video it works great.
The stutter like pulling noticificafion bar down has always been there with the Video app even after factory resetting :/
