Playstore lag scrolling - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody experiencing huge lag on playstore? It's lagging like my old galaxy s3....
My current htc one m8 has no such lag. Shouldn't the Tab S2 handle heavy graphic app like the playstore easily?

Hello,
if you think this is a big problem please do a factory reset. Are you using a Custom ROM? Thank you.

I had stock 5.0.2 earlier, and now stock 5.1.1 (flashed with odin), both showed lag on playstore. There is also some lag when scrolling in YouTube app. But besides that, everything is (almost) smooth in menus, chrome, twitter. Wanted to know if other people have the same experience.
Maybe i'm used to my htc m8, it has no lag or jittery animation at all. Everything is like 60fps animation. On the Tab s2 it's like 30fps (just how I feel it is, I dont mean it literally)

I don't think it's lag, it's more data that can't load fast enough.
You're trying to load and move a lot of data and graphics quickly. It looks like it doesn't get preloaded.

This is very noticeable and irritating.

I don't have the S2,but the S1. However of all the browsers I've tried the stock browser handles it best.
It's hardly noticeable on my S1.
Through the play store app it's also hardly noticeable.

Have the Same Problem you experienced. Portrait and landscape Mode

[Q] Embed YouTube video lag

Hi,
I've recently bought a Galaxy Tab. It's an euro/international model, completely new. I downloaded Flash, and checked functionality. There's a quite big issue with embed YouTube videos - they lag, a lot. Sound is normal, but video is really laggy. Although I noticed that when I touch the screen and keep my finger there, it displays video normally, as soon as I release it, it starts lagging again.
The tab is now rooted, running the newest overcome, but the issue showed up on the stock gingerbread and on overcome as well. I've tried playback on default browser and on Dolphin HD on all ROMs, and ran the One Click Lag Fix as well, nothing helped. The YouTube app works fine though, it's only the embed videos.
I'd really appreciate any help with the issue - I've searched a lot but found nothing on this.

Why nook color is very luggy?

I bought a new NC.Both the 1.2 stock rom and cm7.1 are very lugy.Zooming and scrolling in the browser,the aniamtion when opening or closing an application and the menu and etc. are very luggy. I also tried OC to 925mhz but no luck.
Videos that compares nook color and Galaxy Tab shows very smooth operation when comes with the same situation I mentioned above.So Why?
So is "lugy" like trying to do the dougie?

925 speed is not over clocking, it is really stock speed. Is your nc rooted and does it have dal ringers OC kernel? also comparing the speed to a galaxy is not a fair comparison since they are totally different gpus if you are speaking of the 10.1. Root it, install cm on it, then put the right kernel on it, OC then...adjust videos with handbrake and run the videos then...you will be in for a elegant surprise.
CM7 on .32 isn't even laggy at 800mhz on the stock kernel. It's smoother overclocked but it's not a big deal unless you play games where you really need that extra 1-2 fps
I suspect he has something else going on.
I have upgrade to a nightlies version and find a lot smoother now although zooming and scroling in web browser is not so googd as I expected.

Web pages with javascript and lots of ad links really slow the browser down. A good example is the XDA forums which is slowish on my i7 Windows 7 system with 8 GB of memory.
Opera mobile is really smooth compared to the stock browser and Dolphin. The draw back is there aren't many options in the settings.

features over performance always, right?
There's no GPU acceleration in the stock browser so I would use Opera Mobile instead.

[Q] Terrible Firefox performance - any ideas?

Firefox's graphical performance on this tablet is bizarrely poor. Scrolling is like a slideshow on any vaguely complex/graphical page. This is the case both with Firefox, and its latest Nightly build. Has anybody found any solution or filed a bug for this? The high resolution screen may play a part in this, but performance is far worse than the Nexus 10, which has the same resolution display and far slower hardware.

Contact the firefox devs and tell them. They should be the people fixing it, Quote the stock browser and chrome being much faster.
Firefox beta runs fine on mine. For example, CNN or Yahoo News scrolls smooth to me.

Yeah, this browser is supposed to be one of the best, but on the TF701 it is really buggy and laggy... hopefully they will fix the issue. Right now I'm using stock and Opera, occasionally Chrome

REQ: A YouTube video showing everyday use

So I have been trying to see videos on Youtube about the Galaxy Tab S.. But they are all unboxing videos, reviews,tips and tricks, quick comparisons to iPads, etc.. All brand new with no apps or customizations on them. There are a few gaming ones, but they only stay in the games.
What I am looking for.. and what would probably help others wanting to do the switch from iPad (or even get the Tab S as their first tablet), are videos showing every day use. Remoting into desktops, doing document editing, photo editing, etc with the tablet already fully themed and customized. Heck, even a custom ROM would be great.
I would love to see the speed that this tablet can open and close apps, doing work, etc..
I looked all over YouTube for videos like this, but have come up empty every time.
Well.. We have CM11 and beta of CM12! They both run smooth and do not lag like stock touchwiz. But on stock roms they tend to lag on easy tasks like scrolling. But installing a stock custom rom like iron rom doesnt lag in the homescreen or anything. I use my tablet for school so yeah I use it everyday. I also themed the mine with discreet blue theme and installed a bunch of apps.
As for the screen its perfect even outside its still visble. As for everday use of editing, gaming, sending emails and all that.. It does it fast and easy. There tends to be a few lag spikes apon loading large apps but only for a bit. I too switched from an iPad and its a ton faster in loading times. But opening a ton of apps at the same time ex 10 apps can freeze and even reboot by itself. Doing work/typing documents does the job with no lags and handcom office is good for that.
Anyway if you have more questions ask me! I have a youtube channel but I am unprofessional at them lol. But installing a custom rom fixes most issues of lag than stock rom. CM11 or irom is a must have for me. Hope this helps!

Thanks! Do you have a video on your channel like what I asked? Showing everyday use? Mutlti tasking, not just with the default apps that come on the tablet?
Linky?

Browsers keep crashing, and very disappointed with GPU / RAM speed..

Most browsers are crashing at the sight of an animated GIF on webpages. So far, Boat Browser, CM Browser, Maxthon Browser, and Naked Browser crash at the sight of the animated GIF attached to this thread below.
Chrome and Dolphin are the only two browsers that aren't crashing while viewing the image. Dolphin is unusable at the moment because it hasn't been updated yet, and I don't care for the UI and options in Chrome.
Having said that, this problem doesn't exist when using the same browsers and viewing the same image on my Note 3 running Kit Kat. In fact, I have zero browser issues on my Note 3.
Another browser issue I'm having is with the loading of previous tabs. If I open two tabs, then close the second tab, the first one loads relatively slowly (graphically). This is the case with Boat Browser (and the others listed above), but not with Chrome. This problem is also not present on my Note 3 with any browser.
I'm not sure where the browsers store tabs (RAM or disk), but my Note 3 is faster loading tabs than the Nexus, which is pretty sad, in my opinion. Scrolling webpages is faster and smoother on the Nexus, but that's about it.
And frankly with 3 GB's of RAM, I don't know why a browser would load tabs from disk instead of RAM, which could mean that the RAM on this phone is slower than the RAM on the Note 3.
I've used 3 different ROMs, 3 different kernels. Enabled "Force GPU" in dev options. Even unencrypted in case the browser was reading and writing from the disk instead of RAM. The slow graphical loading of previous tabs is still present on the Nexus 6 no matter what I try.
I'm > < this close to selling my Nexus because of all the unstable browsers and slow graphics. I've had nothing but constant crashing of browsers. And the slow graphic loading of previous tabs on this phone which is non-existent on my Note 3 is also disappointing. I've read around the forums where people have had graphics issues with games that don't exist on other phones.
I've reduced the screen size from 1440 down to 1080, causing less strain on the GPU, and the slow graphics issue was still there in the browsers.
I love the customizeability, screen size, and openness of the Nexus. But at this point, that's where my love for this phone ends. My Note 3 is more stable.
Anyone have any suggestions or input? A little unhappy and disappointed at this point.
** Edit to add: I understand that apps may not be updated or optimized for the 1440 screen size and for Android 5.x. But app developers have had how long now to update their apps? Not really an excuse.
If you're that unhappy with your N6, and are unwilling to use a browser that is updated and actually works, go back to your beloved Note 3. There's the validation you're looking for.
It's all just an illusion
