Hello
I just bought p20 pro
But performance is really bad
Software lag too much
Facebook app lag too much
I'm feeling like I'm using samsung note 4
How to fix this problem?
Phone is great
Camera is great
But software is ??? in term of performance
I just recieved the p20 pro about 3 days ago. I uninstalled or disabled all the bloatware and now it runs fine but not nearly as smooth as a oneplus or a pixel phone.
You will notice a very small stutters here and there in apps but nothing bad nor does it ruin the experience.
I use Friendly instead of FB because its very light weight so I don't know about the performance of FB.
Huawei does need to further optimize EMUI though

I came from Samsung s9+ and I can say that p20 pro is same or just a little faster than s9+... I haven't notice lags in Facebook or. Any other apps...
You may need reset...

Your going from a heavily skinned UI to another. The performance isn't bad but its not as smooth as a pixel\oneplus and it'll probably never be quite on that level. I still think EMUi needs some work, Its a little cluttered.

Optimize? How about throwing that gingerbread looking iOS wannabe in the garbage and giving us something closer to Android? Well, I said my piece.???
BTW What did you use to uninstall the bloatware?
Sent from my Samsung SM-G965W using XDA Labs
No my old s9 plus run smoother
And facebook is alot faster and smoother
Software optimization very bad
Did you take the device or a test-drive before purchasing it? For me personally it's very fluid and more responsive compared to a S9 but have to agree that Facebook scrolling stutters quite a bit.. I'm confident Huawei will keep optimizing EMUI and within a month or so we should see some significant improvements to hardware-software related GPU optimizations.
Upcoming .131 update seems to specifically focus on a smoother experience and reduced power consumption.

GPU TUEBO is coming to p20 pro soon so we have a lot to see in next months
A user posted this on a sammobile article about the pie beta:
"Well done Samsung…9 Pie is great,smooth,fast and very nice to use….they should have just released it to everyone instead of beta.
1. GPU Drivers have been updated so emulators like Dolphin play games full speed
2. Games in general…from playstore are smooth..no lags…playing Asphalt 9 on Dex…
3. Can now use any HDMI to USB C cable for Dex to work
4. Battery life seems to have improved in my case
5. Dark theme works perfect
6. Camera seems to have improved
7. Multitasking is fast and fluid, apps don’t refresh
8. With no app running free RAM is 1.65GB on S9
Now playing Nintendo Wii games at full speed.
S9 SM-G960F"
I've been reading an article where it compares the benchmarks of both the Exynos and Snapdragon versions of the phone, and it's like they're two different phones. The Snapdragon outperforms the Exynos on nearly everything by a big margin.
Is there any chance the Pie update will improve these scores?
I'd post the links but i'm a new user, so I can't. Apologies.
Thanks.

Samsung did a lot to the exynos 9810 control leading to noticeable improvements in battery life, performance, fluidity. I am pretty sure they will continue that on the android 9 update. Even if the sd variant keep it's lead on benchmarks, atleast now and in the future the exynos 9810 will not be disappointing. So in short - yes, the android 9 will improve everything about the phone no matter the variant.
Screenshots ->Exynos varient
Please show more screens of antutu results
I see some improvement in performance
I can also feel the difference slightly.
I think the overall performance is worse than Oreo. It stutters a bit when switching between apps for example. But it will most likely be improved in the stable version.

That's true and I don't seem to like the recents ui
I feel it lot better than Oreo. It is lot smoother in many places.

This is why beta versions isn't rolled out to everyone around the world, but instead only a few people that explicitly opt in for it. Otherwise the whole world would cry and shout how crap Samsung is and their new update, without realising it's just a beta and will certainly still have bugs. Luckily you have the intelligence to realise this.
It's currently of oreo and it heats a lot for normal non-gaming use. :/ it's the 4GB variant and I heard that new updates were buggy and made phone worse so is it better to compromise few new faults coming with updates than heating on old android version?

What about Battery issue and some other issues and people trying to move back to oreo bricking their phone?
I have played pubg for an hour and it's never heated up, it gets warm but nothing beyond that at all,
I have the same exact question. No idea if I should update... I had to return my xiaomi mi a2 lite after updating it cause it had issues and I'm not ganna mess with rooting etc to try fix it.
I picked this phone up as secondary device/work phone. I've had it for about 6 months now, after spending some time trawling reviews, and I find myself dissapointed.
I have updated the firmware every time to see if issues are resolved, however I am still not 100% happy.
My main issues are as follows:
Battery life seems really random, even with very little running, especially for a 5000Mah battery.
Performance feels heavily capped
I feel like the hardware of this phone just isn't being properly utilised, or has been performanced capped (maybe to try and prevent taking market share from the company's higher end devices). My personal mobile is an Oppo Find X2 Pro, using a Snapdragon 865, and whilst some stuff is noticeably fast and as snappy as I'd expect from the Snapdragon 888 in this phone, other things just feel slow or stuttery. Perfect example is games. In many games, like Diablo Immortal, the older Find X2 Pro sits around 60FPS with few issues and reasonable settings.
If I try to run the same settings with this phone, I'm greeted with a much more variable 40-60 FPS, which no amount of tweaking the settings seems to fix. There is no way the Snapdragon 865 should be outperforming the 888, but it is. The underlying OS is very similar as Oppo and Realme are part of the same group, to the point they even use the same game toolkit, but despite all this and the better hardware, the Realme is outperformed by the older Find X2 Pro.
Am I the only one getting this experience?
it is a great phone but I agree to you at the most
For me the best problem is the Os .
The apps is free to do what they want without a capable phone manager to stop them.
I also have this phone since it came out, very disappointed! Bad battery, heating, low performance in most apps, camera colors, audio etc.

Can't believe no one is talking about this..
Got mine weeks ago with first release of Android 12 pre-installed (from October 2021). Performance was amazing, Diablo was buttery smooth even stupidly maxed-out. Did only one OTA update (still Android 12 after that), it killed performance from every games even at low settings, stutters was everywhere, even at 30FPS cap, unnaceptable. Then did OTA to Android 13, same even with factory reset. Was thinking of returning it at that point.
Then, tried to unlock bootloader to clean install the oldest Android 12 available from here. Games was again buttery smooth, but camera app was crashing and OS had weird glitchs, soo.. was stuck here, disapointed. Tried using the newest Adreno GPU Drivers with root, same garbage performance from games. Debloated the entire rom, same. What's strange is that benchmarks results like 3DMark doesn't show any degradation from good A12 to bad A12/A13.. was thinking it could be refresh rate related but even tweaking with SmartHertz didn't help.
I'm now on Pixel OS (available from the official website), performance is amazing, original GT2 camera app is pre-installed (quality is exactly the same as ColorOs), have unlimited space usage from Photos in original quality, and everything is working. You also don't need SmartHertz to get everything in 120Hz (like Brave), "adaptative" resfresh rate is working too (60/120Hz). Battery life, got 12H SOT on a three days basis with mostly browsing usage, some photos, little games, and basic power saver on, ended at 7%. Pretty happy now, it's surprisely good for a rom this early.
So yes, all of this crap is ColorOS related. Something got broken somewhere at the A12 2022 timeline.
They unfortunately halted (momentarily ?) their unlock server so..
@Lightning- , are you talking about pixelos from this site? https://pixelos.net/download/porsche
Can you also point to a tutorial on how to get back to stock after flashing pixelos?
Yes, this one. There is also LineageOS rom but it just keep bootlooping on my side for some reason.
Revert to stock : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/collection-of-ota-packages.4542941/post-88558929 + https://github.com/italorecife/OppoRealme-OFP-Flash
For me it is the battery life and the lack of modification to the rom

This is really informative, thank you. I just wanted to ask if the microphone problem that this phone had is fixed when using Pixel OS?
friends, I'm on rmx3311_11_A.13 software right now and I don't like it especially charging and heating. there is rmx3311_11_A.22 update now, should i install it

On Android 13 the CPU has been capped to 80°c which otherwise would be 95°c, this is done in order to reduce overheating, this increases battery backup however reduces performance by 10-20%, there is a magisk module I've made that unlocks this cap if you want I can send

Have you encountered any issues so far with pixel os, because I'm scared of changing the rom of the device.

I suggest you stay on Realme UI since it seems to be more stable than any other AOSP based rom rn, it has better battery backup and camera quality too, but the choice is yours

Almost three weeks with POS. I don't have any issue at all, better than stock, better battery life, no stability issue (no FC or randoms reboot), and camera is the exact same (tested with two GT2, one with POS and one with RUI 13 locked bootloader, there is ZERO difference in photos..). It has unlimited storage too with Google Photos at original quality (even with RAW), wich is a big plus by itself, no root required.
LineageOS is available too but it always bootloop on mine so can't test it.

Will I be able to return to RUI in the future if I install a custom rom? (And still get the updates). Also How did you unlock the bootloader. The deep test app doesn't seem to work.
