Hi guys, I'd like to share with you something which I think is sad.
Google apps' optimization : what do you think of it ?
Some apps are very smooth, like gmail, but some are not that good like play store or Hangouts (even if they are very recent)
Some are simply terrible : Google +, Play Music. They are everything except smooth.
But why ??? Can we explain it ? Why doesn't Google work on this side ?
Do you share the same feelings about it and do you think we can expect work from Google ?
I'm making this thread because no one talk about this, but it seems to me very important and I'm a little confused
to me only hangouts was really slow on my previous galaxy nexus
on the nexus 5 there isn't any app that is heavy or slow..everything fly, also hangouts
hangouts is heavy on old phones probably because it is new and not much optimized

I have a Nexus 5 too and Hangouts is pretty smooth, but not perfect.
But Google + and Play music are simply horrible, can't you feel that ? I mean they are very fast and everything but there are big framerate drops

Hi
is it just me or is the performance of most apps pretty poor to what i would expect to such a powerhorse of a phone?
scolling is really laggy like its 15 frames or so in facebook ... tapatalk too...
it got a little better when enabling gpu rendering but that should not be the solution
im on build 1.28
anyone with same experience ?
will it be better in future bases (roms) ?
or are the apps not optimized for full hd yet ??
thanks
Facebook is very laggy but it's like that on every Android Phone...
Twitter I always found pretty smooth.
I've posted something before, I don't define it as laggy, it's like dropped frames whilst scrolling, not smooth. Somethings are ok, but apps such as chrome, sky news all have this issue. I've been told Facebook and chrome are bad for scrolling.
I have no lag at all on my One with any app I have used so far.
Facebook has always worked great, even on my old DHD while that one is typically laggy on all android devices ..
Did any of the users find the phone lag at any point of time? Please help me out with this. I have heard that the phone to lags, is it true? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

oh god no, mine is fast as lightening, I am still amazed (after having it for more than one month) at how fast it is. Switching between apps is instant, browsing the gallery the same.

I was reluctant to believe that it was laggy. Since it uses the same chipset as the nexus 4 or a better version. How is the heavy games performing? I know there plenty of videos regarding gaming reviews. But I just want a views from a user of xperia zr. Since its a little on the costly side for me and want to make sure it's worth it.
not so laggy . my zr is smooth when running apps . a little bit laggy when play heavy games ,but not so obvious . this is a great phone with a little cost :fingers-crossed:

You mean the Game lags are not much noticeable? I would be installing Asphalt 7, if I get this phone. How would xperia zr stand up to nexus 4 in performance section?
Mine is laggy, not all the time but if you keep screen on for about 10 minutes and launching apps after apps, it gets really laggy especially on Chrome. I even have display issues where black screen are displayed on certain apps for awhile before showing up. Not sure if it's because I have too many sync data and background apps going on but I don't understand how anyone can use a smartphone these days without a minimum of such things going on

That sounds quite bad, mine definitely does not do that. However, I have to say Chrome is laggy on any kind of phone, I would never use it, especially because of that. I use Dolphin these days.
It will drop frames in heavy gaming because of overheat. it works well in gaming as long as you can keep it cool.
there is not lag in daily uses.
even Asphalt 8 can run smoothly on XZR
Well the phone is kinda brand new so.. in this price range its expected to be smooth and fast no doubt about it. The 2 gigs and 1.5 quad boy do the job.Have the phone from more than a month and I can tell you if u have the money go for it. the heating is abit ****ty when you play heavy games more than 30 min but every smatphone heats so..its not a big deal

Other than in the lockscreen, any lag in other area too?
I have been using my zr for about two months. Lag is virtually non existent. I am happy with the performance. Dead trigger plays very well. Only problems are heating during heavy gameplay like deadtrigger or using chrome and those flaps covering headphone jack and usb port. :thumbup:

I think it's just some games that just resource hogging and seems to cause those delay and black screens.
Sony roms are the most laggy roms ever (Specially if you have many background app running!) So expect some lag when connecting to internet
Not laggy. try factory reset.
My launcher is frequently reloading whenever I run 2-3 apps in the background. Anyone facing the same issue? Any solution without rooting the phone. I am on .534
I've not noticed it happening unless loading up bigger games, of which I don't do much of on my phone!
Chrome, Tapatalk, Hangouts, K9, Weechat, Facebook, Amazon, YouTube all very recently, yet home is still instant on press.

That's the problem I haven't even started playing heavy games on my phone n it's happening only with running few apps in the background.
i wonder whats happening in this world.. i m using one year old xperia T and its very fast except in few cases like somebody said here when i press home after playing a heavy game it redraws for a second but other then that its snappy.... camera is also fine enough but what about you people you spend alot of money to buy Z1 which have so called S800 processor etc but in real life i dont think there is much difference while using xperia T or Z1 even some of the people are crying for camera quality of Z1 like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485992
BTW i m very satisfied with xperia T camera.
so i wonder whats the real worth of spending so much money wtf is all that.... even in a review of note 3 that person was saying that if you people play high end games like nova 3 etc or if you do some heavy multitasking you may feel some lag for a while........
so whats the end result i concluded??
1. Either the Manufacturers are cheating us with these marketing gimmicks like S800 processor , 3gb ram adreno 330 gpu etc etc these are for benchmarking and dont have any vast real time effect
2. Or Android is a culprit ....its very laggy Os and It cant be lag free what ever google does..Like Jelly bean butter project and all that shiit.........Thats why people like IOS and windows phone8
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.
i found a used Galaxy S3 mini for sell , im a little worried about the device performance since its not a high end smartphone so i'm asking all its user if its worth to have it or not
PS : the price is 40 euro and the Screen Glass is alittle broken ( just the glass )
I have several phones & still use the mini as it's easy to carry around compared to my larger phone. I debloated mine + plus using s v14 virginity rom customized stock. It's a great little blogger without the higher Google integration of higher version Android. Not good for modern games. Provided the screen ain't too damaged try for €25-€20.

I run modded stock & debloated so on average i have between 400mb / 500 free mb. I need this amount for orfox/Firefox multi tab 30+ & other apps switching between them. I don't use the official social apps as they have scary permissions & resource hungry.
Just make sure it's the GT-I8190 /n/p model & not the GT-I200 ve
