There is a lot that I like about this phone. But coming from near stock Android on the OnePlus 3t, outside of the core UI (home screen, lock screen, settings, etc) I find the P20 Pro a bit laggy. This mainly occured in slightly more involved apps like Facebook, Google maps, Google photos etc. For example try going into maps and jumping between navigation, reviews, the map view etc. It really stutters. And in photos, try swiping between images, it's so slow.
Is this something other people are experiencing? Would I benefit from a factory reset or change of settings? Or maybe this is just the result of crappy Huawei software?
Only place I see it in is Google photo and a little bit in Tapatalk. Everywhere else it's lagg free

I've had the phone act laggy and lag free. What puzzles me is this: I can factory reset and have facebook etc scroll lag and stutter free. I can then do another factory reset and experience a stutter fb scroll. I have repeated this at least 4 times on the same firmware with around a week each. At the moment I have a stutter facebook scroll and slight lags on maps etc. This time i'm going to live with it until the next update and use that as an excuse to reset. Fingers crossed I get a lag free start.

To those with a Note 5 already, how's the RAM management.
Can't get one in Canada until the 21st, just wondering if the Note 5 is a smart buy.
Here's a video of the LG G4 smoking the Samsung Note 5 in memory management. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6QSffa9dys
The Note 5 opens the apps incredibly fast even with reloading though.
I've seen posts here and there that make it sound promising but the video above scares me a little.
Anyhow what are your experiences?
How many apps (and which) can you open and swap between without them reloading.
You already saw my posts but I will re-state here so others can see as well.
I do not have the issues that video illustrates. I can run Chrome, Fallout Shelter, Poweramp, Play Store, Trillian, Amazon App Store, 1Weather, Google Plus, Whisper, Gmail, Battery Widget Reborn, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Z Launcher, the stock launcher, a number of settings windows, and plenty more, and not have any of them need to reload when switching between them (which is good, because Fallout Shelter is up to 500megs of RAM usage...). With all of that running, I still have 1.1gigs of free RAM (333megs in reality, as 800ish megs of that 1.1gigs is for cached processes). I don't yet have much else installed, but it seems pretty clear to me that this is not a universal issue, and even if it were, it can easily be resolved by an update from Sammy, or a custom rom/kernel down the line.

Yeah same here ... no problem at all ...
My note kills apps like crazy. Certain apps i know for sure as soon as i hit home the app gets killed. but if i jumped to another app through recents, then the app would at least stay alive for a while.
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
I have an AT&T Note 5 on the latest stock rom.
Youtube is updated to the latest Google Play version.
Two issues are happening. First if I'm scrolling down my list of subscriptions and decide to watch a video. I rotate my phone to watch in full screen, then when I swipe the video down, I am back at the top of the list again, and have to scroll all the way down to get back to my position on the list. Am I missing a setting?
Secondly I noticed that sometimes the videos won't play. I choose a video and it shows the first frame, and just sits there, and never loads, never plays. The only way to fix this is to choose Recent Apps and close all the apps. Does this have to do with the aggressive memory management that the Note 5 is known to have?
Thanks in advance for any help.

So I just updated my Note9 to latest Pie about a week ago. I like a lot of things, but found a couple really annoying problems. First is that when connected to Bluetooth in my car, when using YouTube Music app, 8 out of every 10 times the song finishes and starts the next track...I get no audio. I have to play/pause or hit next/previous to get audio back. But that's a different issue than this thread...
Second issue I just found is that Game Tuner is now gone. I used Game Tuner before to force some games to use full resolution for a much sharper visual experience. I primarily play Clash Royale and noticed that my game was looking a little blurry again
I found the settings within Game Launcher, but they aren't as good...and don't give you as much control over resolution. Everything is set to highest performance, but I can easily tell that the resolution isn't full as some of the graphics/text in the game are not nearly as sharp as before.
Any way to fix this??? Super annoying... The game doesn't require that much battery as-is and it's annoying that I can't make use of the awesome screen resolution.
The only way is by disabling Game Optimizing Service by using 'Package Disabler Pro ( Owner APP) All Android' in Play store.
Disable it and reboot.
Then all games are now just apps, you can't use Game Launcher/Game Tools. You may disable them too.
But the apps (once games) are now show in full resolution.

And that's the only way to do it at this point? Seems so dumb...
What other negative implications does this have, if any? The obvious one I can think of is that any options for battery savings are not available any longer (which I normally don't really care about anyways).
And I assume this process is reversible, so you can just re-enabling the Game Optimizing service and rebooting to get back to original state again??

Yes you are right
Looks like samsung just updated its game launcher, has more settings now and can disable the low res option.
Update and let us know please!

The update doesn't seem to change anything... There is an option for disabling/enabling the low resolution. But I get the slightly blurry output regardless of what I set that switch to.
To be fair, when I say it's blurry...it's actually fairly subtle. A couple of my less picky friends couldn't even tell the difference at first...but after looking side by side with a phone running native resolution, they could tell.
I'm picky about visuals/screens, so it bugs the crap out of me. If I have a great screen with high resolution, I'd like everything to look as good as possible. The slightly soft graphics are super annoying to me.
Not happy about this. I haven't tried the previously suggested option for Package Disabler because it seems like a slightly more involved process than I was inticipating...
GRRRRRR

Do you know of a package disabler for the snapdragon note 9 running pie, stock phone not rooted? Seems like no matter which ones I try they no longer function since Oreo went to pie. If you know of one could you share the play store link as I could use it big time. Much thanks in advance.
Cheers!
Hi all. I am 4 days into the S21 ultra and I am finding it is becoming slow to load most apps - BBC news/Daily Mail/My fitness pal - the latter two take around 15 seconds. Apps with lots of images dont show the images for around 30 seconds (mostly newspaper websites - The Times/BBC/ the Sun. I had tested side by side with my Mate 20 Pro which opens apps fully in seconds. Has anyone else had this issue?
I just tried BBC app and it was instantaneous. I think you might be having something running in your background. As for apps with lots of images, I have google photos with 10 years of photo in it and it opens instantaneously too!
maybe you should try to backup your google photo data, i know a device can help it.
