Hi, this is my second HTC one, and it seems to lag behind my previous one.
For example, when I click on a story in Blinkfeed, the usual animation is for the bottom dock to fly up, and be replaced by the story. On this new handset, the bottom dock freezes in the middle of the screen for a second, and then the story eventually loads.
In another example, the keyboard seems to register touches a few too many split seconds after me typing, so that there's a noticeable lag as I type.
I don't have any power saving features on either!
Is this normal?
The only lag I have come across is while playing Simpsons tap out

the only lag i get is playing this game too. . . I think EA needs to optimise it a little better. Even real racing and modern combat it dont lag. Just this one.
Oh, Tapped out is a Battery Killer also .. .lol. When i go into view the Battery Stats tapped out is at top!

Maybe what you're having is a hardware issue? You didn't install any Custom ROMs right?
lag ha .... hahah haha haha
I think the OP got the S4 and H1 mixed up :laugh:
In all seriousness, no lag thus far except in crappy non optimized apps.

Ok.. So I searched a while, and I'm not sure if I was just using the wrong terms, but I couldn't get a result that answered my question.
Anywho.. I'm using Fresh Toast 2.0b2, and I'm having an odd problem when playing games that have touch input.
For example... Whilst playing the game "Radiant" The phone slows down considerably when I use the touch screen to move my ship.. I would say framerates cut almost in half.. but clear up as soon as I lift my thumb from the screen..
Same thing happens in the game "Blow Up" When I tap-hold the bottom of the screen to pick up the bombs to drag to the beams, the phone slows WAAAYY down, but clears up the moment I drop the bomb/lift my finger from the screen..
Could this be a ROM problem? Background App Problem? Just one of the quirks of the Hero?
Any input will be seen as valuable.
Thanks,

FreshToast is buggy right now - hence the DEV rom titleing.
I also have noticed general touch bugyness. Especially slow responses to touch.

Not a ROM problem, Not specific to your device. I feel like its a problem with HTC's multitouch drivers.. Ive noticed the same problem since I got the phone in October. I'm pretty certain when you touch the phone, the Hero is looking for another touch point so it delays the phone.. The HTC Hero doesn't use the same multitouch drivers as other 2.1 devices even on the 2.1 ROMs, Thats why most multitouch programs on the market dont work right for the Hero, and also why I'm jumping to EVO, Hopefully HTC EVO doesn't have the same problem.

That definitely makes sense. Wish I would've known about the EVO previous to my purchase of the Hero..
So I did 2 neocores. One without touching the screen got me 25 dos. Then I touched the screen thru the whole benchmark and got 4.9 dos. Wow that's a big difference!

That should be seen as a deal breaking bug for the Hero.. We should all go to Sprint and DEMAND EVOs.
Unless its not present in the official 2.1, I'm going to do what I can to get an EVO.
yeh its really weird how it works right. .27 and touch input didnt play well. at all. the biggest problem is the sh*t digitizer we have. it only senses x OR y moving AWAY OR TOWARDS eachother. it isnt true multtouch. a good example is to download multitouch paint from the demo market. it will read both fingers fine until one crosses the x or y axis in opposite directions.
but anyways back to when you touch, i think toasts source is amazing for the .29 but once htc releases the real .29 source he will really work his magic. .29 fixed alottt of the issues with stuff like music and touch having their own "processes". in .27 they were all bunched together and that made ultra lags while using bt and messing with phone.
This is fixed in Fresh Toast 2.1Final.
I love those two guys.
Sometimes when I'm tapping certain icons at certain times I will have to tap twice becuase the first time it didn't recognize my tap. Sometimes even multiple times. But other times my phone will run as smooth as butter. Hardware or software issue?
Same issues ...
I have the same issues.
This issue occurs often after I unlock my Phone and also during use.
In my opinion that's not acceptable!
How did you act?
Did you send it in?
Pet hate: "Smooth as butter" ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
And relax.
Yes, sometimes it doesn't recognise it. Even sometimes it will actually highlight the icon, so it's recognised I've pressed, but then done nothing with the action.
I would say software issue.

I returned my phone because it was driving me insane.. but yes it's probably a software issue. I bought a Nexus S from google, and it's better, but sometimes it still happens on my NS, however much less often then on my O2X. But i would say just try using a different kernel or rom. CM7 still had the touchscreen issue. So that's why I kind of gave up on this phone.

I have noticed that o2x screen is not that sensitive. For example in "where is my water " it was difficult to draw lines as precise as on an iphone or gs2. Maybe my fingers are faulty

I agree. I now have a nexus s therefore i think that Samsung>LG.
From the moment I installed RC's ics cm9 I never had touchscreen issues again. On the contrary, now I find the screen too sensitive.

Hi, i personally dont think this is a problem with our touch screens, i have it happen to me when unlocking the phone etc, but i think its because we try to tap an icon to quickly before we give the phone chance to fully unlock, i've noticed if i wait just a second or 2 after unlocking it doesnt happen, i think its lack of ram in the o2x, it not quite fast enough for our speedy fingers, lol.

Also i forgot to mention, if i turn off all animations this also decreases the chance of this happening.
I have been facing a weird touchscreen issue since the beggining, dont know if its software related or hardware related.
While playing a game like Modern Combat 4, which requires multiple fingers to touch the screen at a time, sometimes my touchscreen doesnt recognizes my touch, it becomes boggly for some time, and after some time it gets normal.
There are others also facing the same issue as found on sony forum: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1/xperia-z1-touchscreen-problems/m-p/410611#U410611
Can anyone confirm the same.
Yup!... having similar issue while playing game, sometimes aim or player stop moving. I thought it was because of sweaty fingers. Tested the screen in diagnosed section as shown in the video and sometimes it lags.
Have you consulted sony center about the same?

Hmm... i had my phone for nearly a month now. i am facing the same issue here too...
i'm still in stock but rooted via vroot for ad free usage and TtB.
scrolling up or down a list will sometime click on the list while still in a drag. act like you lift your finger and tap again.
scrolling a page in chrome will result like the above or screen will zoom in or out. like you keep on tapping the screen from zooms.
some games are impossible to play after some time bug keeps coming back.... i play rhythm master (can see some demo in youtube)
possible to reproduce problem from multi touch tester. give it a good 20 fast taps with both thumb than move you thumb around the screen.
question is... is this a hardware issue, driver issue, additional screen protector or other things like dust stuck at some edge of the screen and made it this way.
dose guys that took off the shatter proof screen still have this problem?
problems above happens provided my screen is clean and i do have an additional screen protector above the shatter prove screen.
my solution is to apply some baby oil on to the screen and give it a good wipe. And I seems to be able to play my games properly
Do you guys think they will finally smooth out and actually put a little better production into their main functioning apps?
I am so ready to switch to a stock rom for this thing due to touch-wiz being so horrible in some areas.
In what areas do you find TouchWiz horrible on the Note 4? I have zero problems with it.

Just like my S5, but what's wierd was I added soft keys on my s5 by qemu.mainkeys=0 on the build prop for on screen button and for some reason the on screen buttons were instant/fast but the hard keys took 1 second to load....
For some reason I can't add oncreen buttons on the stock or custom roms like I can with EVERY android phone I ever owned
The dialer is gross, the stick I'm ap o for Samsung is buggy and choppy, thankfully I found textra, this app is weird with scrolling, it takes sometimes 10 seconds for a phone call to connect, the multi window does take a long time to load at times can get annoying when I'm trying to do someth u ng in a hurry. The notification bar when you are using a 3rd party keyboard it stays there also indo b t like how the quick settings constantly show at the top of the notification bar takes up space and I'm always activating or deactivating by mistake.

I bought this over the N6 because of hardware. N6 is also a little bigger. This phone is perfect for me, however Samsung upped the Ram to 3gb yet I feel like I have less ram to work with. TW is incredibly slugish after using 5.0 on my N5. I honestly feel like the N5 out performs this Note 4 thru daily activities.
I wanted note 4 hardware with pure aosp. TW is bloated with a ton of useless garbage.

so lately in morning phone will run okay...as the day goes on and as the battery drains some it will become almost unusable . 5 to 10 second freezing in lag when switching or opening apps....lock screen freezing black screen etc. had the phone since release and didn't have e problem until recently. Makes me think it may be hardware or an app ... Is there an easy way to see what is slowing phone down? Reminds me when pc has malware just lags so slow. Any ideas?

Not that I know of. You can grab CPU-Z and see what your CPU load is. If its high, then its definitely an app.
Also keep in mind if the phone is hot, it runs slower. This is true of every smartphone out there and the higher end ones suffer from it more. I've only managed to slow this device down during an extended game and that was due to throttling.
Mine started doing this the last 2 days also!!!! I was gonna take it back.... I don't think its CPU load, my phone does not get hot. I did use 4k video record yesterday, wonder if that had something to do with it... or an update to an app.

The phone doesn't have to feel hit to throttle.
Just thought I'd throw my hat into the ring on this one.
I had the same issue here after the last update. A hard reset sorted this.

By some stupid chance, do you have the widget that shows the time, weather, battery and such on your homescreen???
I just noticed this on mine, when the phone lags, the animation for the weather does not happen, as soon as it does, the phone will respond. Its like its waiting for the widget to update before anything else. So, I removed the widget and the phone is much smoother. No more lag. Gonna still have to try it for a few more hours, but I think that's it (at least for me).
