I've seen this problem come up in other recent HTC devices, just thought I'd point it out for the Vivid as well.
I'm running LauncherPro with just a few icons, a low-resolution wallpaper, and no widgets. It runs silky smooth but the only gripe I have is that when opening the app drawer, 3D or standard, there's an incredible amount of stuttering and lagginess. Scrolling is not smooth, either.
The only other instance of crappy scrolling I have found on the phone so far is in GO SMS Pro; scrolling up and down conversations and also in the settings menus shows an apparent amount of lag. Nothing to cry about, but still there.
Otherwise, no performance issues at all on my device. Oh, and my previous complaint about the data speed being almost nonexistent - it's fixed. Turned out the phone was trying to sync all three of my Google accounts at one time.
Try a different Launcher? LauncherPro Might have an inherent flaw with HTC Devices possibly. Give GoLauncher a shot and see if there is any difference.
Yeah, I'll do that now. I personally dislike Go Launcher but I'll try a few others and see how they perform. I don't think a launcher would affect the lag in GO SMS, though.
EDIT: Lag is still present in Go, Zeam, and ADW launchers.
Interesting. Good to know. It is possible I suppose that they are not correctly optimized for the resolution and Screen size. Although if it is having problems with other HTC Devices my only conclusion is that it is because of some sort of Software issue between HTC and Custom Launchers.
Yeah that's all I could think of, how maybe the high resolution has something to do with it. Hopefully, that's right. Then it would just depend upon app makers to update their apps.
I see no lag what so ever on anything on this phone...
maybe ya got a bad unit?
Are you using GO SMS or any other launchers besides Sense?
This whole rom is slow in comparison to how my inspire rom runs....sad....but thats at&t for [email protected] software. But as soon as we have root,Ill be cooking my own for this,until then it can sit in the box...lol

I have the lag you speak of and its driving me up the wall. Why did I give up my galaxy s2

Calm down, it's not such a big deal. It could because of the greater resolution, much higher than the Samsungs. Not a hundred percent sure, but really. People need to stop being so nit picky and judgmental. It's a phone. In this world, they ALL have their quirks.
No lag what so ever here. Running Launcher Pro Paid Edition. I have 3 homescreens with 4 Columns and 5 Rows, and have 4 Widgets. 3D App Drawer with 5 columns.
Tried ADW EX and Go Launcher and found no lag present as well.
Once a debloated Rom is released everything will be resolved. But for me, haven't had any lag what so ever.
Hm. I wonder if the paid version would make any difference on my device. No lag in the drawer at all? What about in downloaded apps when scrolling?
No problem with anything on launcher. Smooth to me. I've came from an Atrix, Infuse, Inspire, SGS2 and notice no difference. So I've had my share to compare to.
I like the paid version because of the resizable Widgets.
I wonder then, what could be causing it on my phone..
I just tried the latest ics launcher, wow, the first few were kinda sluggish but the latest update is a breeze. There is no lag what so ever and the apps even open instantly with this launcher. I think ics luancher installs itself in a different way, i dont know why but it is smooth as butter.

I've got the same thing, paid version.
I just changed the delay to instant, and forgot about it.

I just downloaded the new ICS Launcher as well. Seems they've updated it really recently because I tried it on Monday and it wasn't nearly this smooth. Drawer fly-in is amazing, but now the scrolling through the apps is laggy. The changelog did say it was completely rebuilt.
Maybe it's a memory thing? LauncherPro was the very first thing I ever installed on the phone out of the box, and I think I recall that before I installed any other apps, it was running flawlessly.. low memory maybe, but I only have like 10 other apps installed. I'm back to LP for now since I don't really mind the drawer lag that much. I just switched to the 3D version and fly-in is working fine, but now it's the scrolling that lags more than the regular drawer does lol. Can't win.
I know it sounds silly but it could be something as simple as an app icon causing the lag. I had installed something from the market and I noticed lag (this was on my Inspire) and after I uninstalled the app it went back to normal. I reinstalled the app and froze it with TiBu and the lag was still gone... unfroze and lag was back.
YMMV

Yeah I believe you, good point. I'm just going to go through deleting some apps and see if any of them are the problem.
UPDATE: Alright, I just did a factory reset on the phone. As soon as it booted up, I added my primary Gmail account. I went to the Market then closed it so it would update. Meanwhile, I synced my Google contacts, Gmail, and calendar. When that was done, I went back to the Market and downloaded GO SMS - the scrolling lag there still persists. Then, I downloaded LauncherPro (unpaid) and went through opening and exiting the app drawer multiple times - seems the lag is gone. Every now and then, opening it will show some stuttering, as will closing. But it's not every single time like it was before the reset. Perhaps it was something to do with memory? It does not lag on scrolling at all, only during fly-in and fly-out.
UPDATE 2: Never mind. Now that I have changed the default number of homescreens from 3 to 5, it lags every time on opening and closing. Just not on scrolling, yet.
Okay, Dolphin support is of no use, so I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem: If Dolphin Jetpack is turned off, Dolphin fails to save cookies after the current session (once the app is swiped away, of course). Repeatable on different settings, and all of the relevant privacy/data/cache settings were checked and re-checked.
I'm thinking that WebView (using Chromium) may be the issue, since JetPack does not exhibit the same symptoms as its Dolphin's own renderer. My Nexus 4 doesn't have this issue either, since it still has the default Android Browser built in (which the Moto X does not).
So, for those of you still reading, does this happen to your phone/Dolphin as well?
Why turn Jetpack off is my question?

Hi, I always keep jetpack on as it is such an important part of Dolphin. But I haven't faced such kind of problem yet. To dig into this, maybe you can send an email to their support team([email protected]) for help.
Does anyone here use opera browser on your nexus 6? I preferred this browser with my nexus 5,but since i got N6 i can't use opera anymore.

I have a problem with tab switching or new tab oppening animations. It's ok when there are no pages loaded, but when i start browsing the anomalies begins. Sometimes it just freezes for 2 seconds when i press 'open new tab'. Sometimes i don't even get the animation.
I tried to use this browser on factory wiped stock N6, tried it with croma rom, with encryption disabled... Still getting this unbelievable lag. It's pretty slick with N5 tho'.
Does anyone have the same issue on your nexus 6?
When i disable 'Merge tabs and apps' feature in Google Chrome, I find the animation between changing tabs very janky, and at least twice a day the entire device freezes for a few minutes. Even the power button stops working.
It does this on Android 5.1/LMY47D and LMY47I. Using a clean flash of the factory images, completely stock, unrooted.
Anyone else experiencing the same freezing issues in Google Chrome (even the Chrome Beta version does it) when changing tabs?
No out problems when switching here. I prefer the new style tho

Same here with stock and rooted N6. Highly annoying and I think it's because of Chrome. I tried Chrome beta two months ago and the same thing happened then and now few weeks ago when the actual Chrome updated, problems started with it too. It worked just fine with previous version without that "pulldown to refresh" update.
Only thing that helps is by pressing power button 10 sec and force reboot.
I've found if I press the power button, a minute or two later the screen will turn off. I can then launch the camera, immediately go to Recent Apps and swipe away the frozen Chrome app.
Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
Thanks everyone for your info. At least I know its not an issue with me
Also seeing this with brand new Nexus 6, LMY47M. Very frustrating. But I can't stand "Merged tabs and apps" --- makes it way to hard to find all my tabs!

I found an alternative tab switching method in chrome://flags
Enable Accessibility Tab Switcher.
This removes the animation when switching tabs and presents a basic list of tabs. Not perfect as it can be hard to know which tab is which if you have multiple tabs on the same website.
This usually occurs when I attempt to open a new tab. The animation for opening the tab will stutter, then crash a few seconds later. I have tried uninstalling chrome multiple times, but I have not had success.
I've noticed this when I newly open the app and start typing right away. Tried clearing cache for chrome but still persists..

I've noticed in regular chrome and chrome beta, but not in chrome dev.
Been running it a week and it hasn't happened once. Happened daily with the others.
I was having the same issue for a while, particularly when opening and starting to type right away (using Swiftkey if that matters). Cleared data on Chrome, and so far so good, but it's only been a day or two.
Yes clearing data keeps it running fine for a while..then its back

I'm also using SwiftKey. Have any of you filed a bug to Google?
I don't use SwiftKey and the same thing happens.

Same here, very odd. I'll try the dev version and see what happens.
I too experience Chrome crashing on loading (i.e., tap on Chrome, Chrome loads up, then crashes immediately prior to opening up a new tab to start surfing a website). My S6 has Android 5.02, G920AUCU1AOE2 baseband, still affected on CleanROM 1.1-OE2, with Chrome 42.0.2311.111.
Same behavior here, sporadic crashes. Using TouchPal, but have swiftkey installed. Will try dev version.
Switched to Samsung's browser myself. Uses less resources (I think that's why chrome is crashing) and is as fast as the iPhone's safari browser.
Again - no crashes on Chrome Dev. Not once and I've been running it over a week.
Is this happening only for the bloated AT&T version? Man I hate this random crashing... I really shouldn't have got the AT&T version.
I have AOE2 version ROM, and latest Chrome browser.
I don't think the keyboard matters. I'm using Google Korean Keyboard.
Same situation even after the latest update from att.
I'm using chrome dev, no issues crashing any longer
