Anyone noticing the Browser on our beloved Nexus one is very choppy and laggy on some sites even though we have a 1GHz snapdragon! i know its not a humming bird but i would expect it to catch up...because when the nexus one first came out and i got it...it was BLAZING FAST! but now its all choppy and laggy.... anyone noticing that too??
there could be a couple of things involved with this, you could have more things running the background using cpu then previously, or you could just be going to some poorly coded websites. Also, if you havent been to a website in a while its cache may be different.

hmm, ya you might be right if only Google Made GPU acceleration on the browser that would be awesome!
Mine is still blazing fast, but I don't have a lot running in the back ground & I clear it's cache often.

Hopefully Gingerbread will bring a new Web browser UI and other features.. i just decided im going to buy a Galaxy S but i will still use the N1 as a business/exchange phone but the galaxy S as my multimedia phone..
It does seem choppy compared to the stupid iPhone, but its an appropriate comparison because its the ultimate competition. And android blinks when scrolling. If you look at certain things you can see the colors blinking or something if u scroll slow u can see it more clearly regular scrolling it makes it look choppy. It seems like iPhone loads a page or a map and u are scrolling thhat one image but with android its like its trying to load each movement so browser seems jumpy and a lot of apps are the same way. Google maps is the worst. Its the coolest app on any mobile platform but its awful to scroll and zoom on android relative to the maps on iPhone. If gingerbread makes it on the same level then android wins hands down. Right now android has more features but iPhone is way easier to use its more smooth and polished. Like everything was developed and then actually used to decide what needs improvement.
Hello!
One things that's really bugging me with this device (though it could just be me being kucky as I've come from an iPhone) is super laggy scrolling.
When in applications such as Twitter or Facebook, it feels like I have to work the screen/app to get it to scroll and it doesnt feel smooth in the slightest
This go for everyone?

Facebook doesn't feel smooth, but that's facebooks issue.
Twitter feels smooth for me

I thought this would be the case with Facebook, when I left android I had a GS3 and they seemed to have got it right on that, seems with the release of the latest hardware they have slipped.. yet again. In regards to Twitter, the Home tab feels smooth, but if you switch to the Me tab try going up and down quite quickly? It's horrible!
Hi!!
Despite having a commendable hardware, why does this device stutters during UI transitions? Having tried many different roms, it behaves the same way.. especially after using for a while, the stutters are very obvious and only a reboot solves it. Antutu score looks perfect and even heavy apps/games runs decently, plenty of free rams, transitions are not fluid at all.. even simple scrolling in setting stutters.. Butter just seems not existence on the XZ..
If this device can behave like my N4, I think i will marry it...
I am not trolling.. i just cant understand why..

I'm running CM 10.1 with Nova Launcher and get no UI stuttering. I have also tweaked the transition animation times to be none existent, and this thing flies!
Have you tried killing all none essential apps and turning off syncing? Maybe that will help you narrow the problem down? Because from my experience I have had no stuttering. Stock was a little slow, but I wouldn't call it a stutter.

Try to update to the last firmware.(no root needed)
If you want more smoothness,try the honami launcher(root)

Hello everyone.
I'm coming to the Z3c from a Nexus 5 (that fell to it death last week :-/) and I have a problem : Scrolling is very choppy in some apps. For example google maps was MUCH smoother on the Nexus 5, which doesn't make any sense since the SnapDragon 801 inside the Z3c is supposed to be slightly faster and it only has to render in 720p instead of 1080p.
I experience the same thing on calendar and in Live Wallpapers where the scrolling of the icons is very smooth, but the LWP behind is choppy. This makes me think it may not be the whole system being slow, but maybe some kind of framerate cap on elements rendered with openGL or something ?
Anyway, that's really irritating that my older, cheaper phone seemed to run much smoother, does anyone know why this happens and if I can fix it ?
Many thanks !
Coming from an HTC One M8 that is also my impression: in some apps scrolling is much choppier than on my M8, even though the Snapdragon 801 in the Z3C is clocked higher and the display resolution is much lower, which should also result in higher performance. I most notice this in Talon for Twitter and the Play Store app, when I open the description of an app in there and scroll down. I realize that in these cases some content like images is being downloaded while scrolling, so some choppiness is probably to be expected, but still, on my M8 I don't experience this, everything is super-smooth in the exact same situations, so it must be possible for Sony to improve this. I'm hoping for a firmware update (which is long overdue imho).
Thanks for your reply, at least I know I'm not crazy.
I wonder if it's a bug (or just poor performance) or actually made on purpose to save battery life or something.
In any case, I'd really appreciate it if someone has a fix.
Have you updated the maps recently? The newer versions are way slower. Though it's fine on the Z3 but not totally smooth.
Yes, updated to the same version on all of my devices : Almost perfectly smooth on the Nexus 5 and Shield Tablet, choppy on the Z3 compact :-/
Maybe it's some kind of incompatibility between the latest version of Maps and KitKat since the z3c is the only one running 4.4 ?
Yeah I'd say let's wait another month or two until lollipop is out.
Guys,
I need your opinion on something. I have this annoying thing that given my slight OCD is going to drive me crazy. It's this: scrolling in any app (main culprits are Facebook and Youtube) is simply not as smooth as on my OnePlus One. It has this stuttering effect which is not super obvious at first, but when the phones are next to each other the difference is highly noticeable.
What is your experience with scrolling in apps? Is it smooth as butter or do you also notice some stutter? Could I have a dud device? Anyway to find out?
Scrolling seems fine to me, but I'm not comparing it with something else side by side, and have no ocd...

That is my experience as well. A osprey based roms have slightly better in app scrolling. That Samsung browser is so bad that I had to stop using it.

I have ocd too and im very sensitive to lag and choppy scrolling. Completely agree. I have the oneplus one as well. Note 5 is faster everywhere but scrolling is not that smooth. YouTube is really choppy compared to other phones. My oneplus one's screen is much less responsive though. input lag everywhere so I would rather have the note 5's choppy scrolling instead.

It's just bizarre really. This thing absolutely flies, it has power to spare, multitasking, Youtube, gaming ... but certain things are just not smooth.
Things I notice that bother me:
Scrolling in apps... Main culprits Youtube and Facebook
Pulling down notification shade... A subtle stutter
Scrolling through a long list op open apps... A small stutter in the beginning
It's small things, but it seems to have issues with refreshing graphics somehow. I don't know, I'm not knowledgeable enough. Unfortunately there is no root available yet for my model (N9200) so all I can do is wait I guess,

I have noticed all those except for the notification shade. I disabled a bunch of apps of course, including that Quick connect and the other thing that was up there all the time, so maybe that helped. I am seeing a ton of improvements in scrolling with all the apps I have disabled but not to where I would call it super smooth. For some reason scrolling in the browser is pretty smooth which is usually the place i see problems on other phones. It must have something to do with how touchwiz handles scrolling cache. If someone comes up with a mod to adjust it, that may almost be a big enough reason for me to root my phone.

Thanks. Yeah, I've done the same (disabling apps etc...). It definitely not bad, but it's not as smooth as other Android phones I've used. Fast yes, perfectly smooth, no.
Updates seem to come quickly. I've had 2 already in 2 weeks. let's see. And with Android M around the corner, I'm sure in a few weeks/months things will be perfect.
Samsung have anyways had this issue with their phones. Never been butter smooth due to bloat ware mainly. No matter the specs phone lags and stutters, I think Samsung should ditch TW.
Note 5 is a fantastic looking phone but ui is concerning.
Utterly bizarre... Things have dramatically improved and I literally did nothing...

Still choppy over here. Did you get an update? Are you using international version?

I'm so close to returning this, and getting the Nexus 6. I've tried every browser available, and I'm not sure if it's the 64-bit architecture or what, it's probably TouchWiz, I'm not sure. I compared it to my galaxy s5 and it's worse. Why is scrolling terrible? I hope somebody comes up with the fix, id bloated about everything I can, and factory reset.

Download Lightning Browser+ from the playstore. The paid version blocks all adds and the scrolling is very smooth. It's what I'm using on my Note 5.

No update. Like I said, its all a bit bizarre. All I can say is that the two last charging cycles things are a lot better.

One thing I found works is to install Adguard (not in store, just google it). It will block ads and make scrolling in Chrome a lot better. The only annoying part I would say is a persistent VPN notification. Adguard uses a local VPN which results in a permanent notification. If you can live with that I found it to be pretty great.

I thought it was just in my head but I gave adguard a try after some time of not using it and I thought it made the whole system faster. Still not 100% sure but things could be a tad smoother and more responsive in general. I'm trying to decide whether it's worth having it constantly running in the background and using chrome or just using lightning browser with its ad blocker built in.

My AT&T version has no issue in scrolling - either in the UI or individual apps I use. I'll get some lag when scrolling fast in the Gallery or FlickFolio but that's because I'm scrolling faster than the thumbnails can load. That's an OS thing, not a h/w or UI thing. Overall the diet Samsung put TW and their own apps on has really paid off.
I'm starting to believe it has something to do with the last "performance increasing update " . I can see from other threads on here that not everyone is on it yet. I received it mid last week. I had another Note 5 before which I returned as it had an issue with the Screen. That one never got upgraded to that stage and was very smooth. This one I have now felt smooth as well, but think that it got worse with the upgrade. I'm now on the update captured in the screenshot. It ends in AHO4. The one before was AHO2.
Once I've figured out how to flash that version on there using Odin3, I will give that a shot and turn off automatic updates. To be continued...

Discolourization.
Settings > Developer Options.
Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale. Change all to "off". Has always seemed to speed up any Android device I've ever used.
