Hey everyone,
Has anyone else been experiencing lag on their Optimus G when they scroll through settings, contacts, messages, or apps? On my phone i consistenly get some stutter when I scroll through the settings menus and I wanted to know if this was normal. I am on my second Optimus G after my first one had overheating issues and this one now seems to have some lag issues for some reason. Is this even possible? or am I being overly obsessive over this? I love the phone and if i do take it back it would be for another Optimus G I am just wondering if what I am experiencing is normal.
Thanks for the replies,
yidavs
I do see this once in a while.

Thrown up by my LG Optimus G, why you jelly at my superior phone?
But this isnt a lag per se I guess, its a stutter, I dont notice it when opening things up, it just when i scroll through screen, especially settings, its stutters a bit. I think I am just being paranoid.

That's called ICS. Mine does it too. Haha.
If the phone is charging it tends to act strange. So if it is charging try getting a multitouch visualizer and try using more than one finger, it doesn't like to recognize some taps and multiple fingers. (The best way to reduce this is to use the stock LG cord and plug, I was using an older one and the phone was almost unusable, still sneaks in on the LG ones though).
If this is happening off the charger... I am sorry to hear that, I haven't noticed anything of the sort.
But I am on The Base with Nocturnal Mods (not sure if there are any performance tweaks in here or more just audio/visual candy) and am using a third party launcher.
Well firstly, I am using stock software, so ICS with LG's UI over it with no mods. Secondly, I was able to find a place where it lags every time: when I scroll between the sound and display settings. This makes me think it may only be a software issue and should be fixed with Jelly Bean when we do get it eventually. Although strangely enough, now my battery life is really bad, like it wont even last me a day where as a week ago it would last me a day and a half

Are you using the tabbed settings (I'm not sure, but I think AT&T made this... may explain why it doesn't work as well, you can get the default settings menu by just pressing the menu button in the main menu screen and selecting list view (or whatever the only option there is called).
Also, Are you getting wake locks or anything?
I just today had mediaserver DESTROY my battery (like 20% in an hour) and it was second only to android OS in my battery usage info.
I seem to have fixed it though (it didn't go away with a reboot). I had to freeze media storage, boot into recovery and clear my caches, reboot and restart media storage.
I also deleted a song I had downloaded from a youtube video (it was the only new thing I had downloaded it a day or so and thought the conversion may have corrupted the file which is a suspected culprit of media storage rescanning forever).

Thanks for the settings advise, i did it and now it doesnt stutter when i scroll through it. As for the battery life, I am not sure how to do any of what you suggested. Are you asking whether i am getting any lag when waking up? is that what you mean by wake locks?

I'm glad the settings thing worked.
And for the other things, you would have to be rooted and unlocked with an app manager program like titanium backup pro or ultimate backup pro.
Pretty much, a wake lock is an app or process that keeps the phone awake even when the screen is off, using the battery when it should be sleeping.
If you go into settings>power saver>battery use you can see what is using your battery.
Android OS is high on this phone, then next should probably be screen and so on by what uses the most resources on your phone.
One of the big culprits (at least for me) was mediaserver, it was using a lot of power.
Another possible cause for battery drain on this phone is the way AT&T and this phone handles a data connection called fast dormancy (I believe this is for if you have 3G, not sure tough). There is an app that can fix that, but you have to be rooted for that to work I believe.
And you could have installed another app that is keeping the phone on, even if the screen is off.

Thank you for the advice, today my battery life was better, but looking at the battery use break down my "google services" was the highest. I mean it was higher than Android OS which i have never seen before. Wifi was second which is understandable since I was on my college campus all day and then came Android OS. What does this include and is there anyway to reduce this?

I just registered, so I can't ask this directly to the developer, but hopefully someone can help me out. I flashed the ICS *Passion* 9.2 beta after reading up on it and seeing all the rave reviews about it. It has been a couple days with a few charge cycles completed and my battery life is still in the hole. Does anybody have any idea why my battery life is so bad? I hardly use it, just to text a bit and browse the internet occasionally. I saw quite a few posts in it with people achieving 12-17 hours battery life with moderate use, and yet I can only manage 6 with light use. The battery menu shows the screen using quite a bit of battery, which is strange, because I have the screen off with the exception of a quick text. Help?

I have similar battery use issues. I believe you have to have it fully charged then wipe your battery stats in the Clockwork Rom Manager menu under advanced. Fully charge again and repeat the process several times. You are probably aware but if dataswitch or wi-fi is running while not using, it will drain bigtime.

Wrong about last part.
I run wifi 24/7 and get 20+ hours light use of course.
I'll give you some of my settings I did to make it like this when I get to a computer I don't like typing long things on phone.

There are some apps and explanations for download in my Battery Guide, post 3, that may help with this too.
Listen to Rider though. He's been on ICS since the beginning. Send some if those settings my way and ill put them in the guide if you want/don't mind.
HNY buddy.
Ok, i will list a few things I ALWAYS do on ICS right after flashing.
Settings> Display > Brightness to lowest ( i don't like the high brightness it hurts my eyes if i need it i turn it up) My Screen display time is set to 2 minutes (i don't think it matters unless if you just turn your screen on and leave it there)
Accounts and Sync > Sync everything right after flash and then disable syncing of Google Photos and Calendar (unless if absolutely necessary)
Also if you sync things like Gmail and what not, try to set the sync time 1 hour + mines set at a hour.
I also use Titanium Backup PRO to freeze DRM protect- , Email, and email exchange ( i only use GMAIL so i don't need another app taking any space) if you don't use gmail, freeze it.
I don't like using GPS because I know the places I go to. I know the roads near me etc. GPS shouldn't be THAT big of a problem if you remember to turn it off after using.
Settings> Location> all of mine are unchecked, if you do use GPS frequently then check the ones necessary. I don't like Google knowing where I live, it does no good just wastes a little bit more battery.
I use SETCPU(paid) you can use Voltage Control (free) and change your frequencies to minimum: 100 max: 1000 and then menu > set on boot or something similar. If you don't set it on boot, right after a reboot its going to change.
Thats basically all the things i do at a fresh rom flash. I might update this post if I miss something.
I understand all these battery drain issues that the prime has been having but haven't actually had them, until now. I used to lose about 2-3% overnight but suddenly I am losing around 15% because it won't sleep. I go into the battery setting and it shows it been awake the whole time. Now I am sure if I looked around I may find a fix but it just seems a bit odd that it has just suddenly occurred. And its not a wifi drainage issue as I usually put it to sleep at power saving mode and wifi off. Just asking why?
Thanks,
I think it could be the Asus weather widget which I had set at 1 hour refresh rate.
if this just recently occured out the blue, likely a rougue app or something you recently installed. an app running in background or sync is likely the culprit.
Just put Skype on it but that's not signed in most of the time
every android tablet and phone i have does this occasionally, and those occasions are when i either play video or music. some of these media players employ a wakelock that will not disable after you put your device to sleep. sometimes a reboot will work, sometimes not. most of the times the reboot keeps it from draining. even force quitting all my media apps wouldn't work.
so basically i reboot every time i use any type media player so i don't get the drain - netflix doesn't require it, dice and just about every music player does. i'm not sure it this may be your problem, but it may be a possible solution.
I find that making sure to check the last two settings under Asus Customized Settings helps this. I was waking up in the morning to find my dock dead everyday before I checked those two settings. The only down side is when I turn the screen on and wake it up, it takes about 5-10 seconds to connect to the wifi. No biggie.
Use better battery stats and see what is causing it. I have read that skype does drain battery pretty bad. And even if you're not connected it still runs in the background at start up. Another app I would recommend is Autostarts. It allows you to disable apps at start up. I know system tuner is free and has the same functionality but I find Autostarts better. With ST, you just disable the app at start up, with Autostarts you can disable it at start up, shutdown(which some apps fire when the tab is being shut down and other system events), also other events. Like some apps fire up when you get a text, or when your connection changes etc.. I just think Autostarts has more options.
Also dev Entropy has a thread in the GS2 forums about know battery drainers. Some of it applies specifically to the GS2 but there are a bunch of general battery killers listed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308030
If you go to setting and battery it should show you which is using the most battery. The first one on top. If its android system, you can click on it and it will show you a list of whats been using your battery which may point you to the culprit. In my case, media was the only thing in the list. And I know if an SDcard is inside my dock it will drain battery. So after removing it the drainage went away. Havent had the drain issue since. Again yours might be different so check the battery usage.
Thanks for the feedback guys, the first thing i am gonna do is charge it up after it fell flat right up to 100% then try some suggestions. I am thinking a reboot could help it.
I have the US version and it has been acting up. Web pages would randomly freeze and stop loading or bring me back to the home screen. What weirds me out the most is that I have always had my wifi setting to off when screen off but I noticed that my battery dropped very quickly today from fully charged this morning and found that it somehow got changed to wifi never off.
Could I have somehow gotten a virus? How can I check? I am running the stock ROM.
Thanks
This is not my forte, but sit tight and be assured that someone who knows more on this issue will answer your question.
Maybe a factory reset would fix it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Take a deep breath, then check what apps are draining your battery the most. More likely than not it's just a poorly coded app that's the culprate.
Settings -> About Device -> Battery Use
Things should typically be pretty low (Except the display), but exact percentages will vary depending on what you've been using lately. If you want a nice control, restart you Player, then leave it alone overnight. If something shows up pretty high, it's probably your troublesome app.
I attached some screenshots of my current useage. Mind you, I haven't really been using my player much this morning, so the percentages might be lower than normal

Does the factory reset erase everything (ie. pics, documents, apks) or does it just get rid of settings but leave my files untouched?
Is there anything else I could try before a reset?
I can't remember, but at the very least a factory reset will kill your apps. I want to say there is an option to keep files, but you'll want to back it up before you try that.
My recommendation really is to restart you player tonight, leave it on, and check battery usage in the morning.
You will lose all your data. However you could root and do a Titanium Backup, then restore after reset. You can always unroot.

My concern is not the battery usage but the fact that it was acting strange, especially my wifi sleep policy setting changed to "Never." I have always had it set to "When screen turns off." I am just worried that my security has been compromised.

Something new I just noticed. Seems like my Player is now trying to get a GPS lock despite me not having any program that is using the GPS. I am probably going to try the factory reset first before flashing to another ROM just because I am new to it and am a bit apprehensive.
But at this point I am just really curious as to what is going on. Has anyone ever heard of these issues of the player changing the wifi policy and trying to get a GPS lock?
Should I be worried if someone is trying to track me down?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33058335
I've got the GPS locking issue. I have it at least since my factory reset, maybe since I got the player. My best guess is that it's Google's location services trying to establish where you are. I get rid of it (and keep it from draining the battery) by firing up a GPS test app and closing the app.
No advice on the other issues though.

Take it easy,everything will be OK.
download the custom rom,it already comes with a custom kernel.
DO A BACKUP just in case.
you can apply with odin in tar form or zip on external sdmicro.
make sure you get the right ROM(international hard home button or capacitive buttons on US).

Anyone else using the auto brightness and notice that it gets unchecked/turned off randomly? Stock firmware here, not rooted. Randomly noticing that the auto brightness is turning off.
I'm noticing the same thing. Have you found a solution?
No I haven't but I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one lol!
Seriously, I thought I was going crazy too. I looked on Google and XDA but I couldn't find anything specific to the S6 edge.
One thing to note, it seems like mine started happening after I used Moon Reader, which controls brightness independently of Android brightness settings - admittedly this could just be a coincidence though.
It seems like it happens every 30 minutes to an hour for me. If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Extra Info: running a Tmobile Galaxy S6 edge with the latest update.
I also thought I was the only one with this problem. Fwiw, I'm not using moon reader and I've noticed the auto unchecked after 30 min give or take of being checked and it pisses me off because battery life is not the best...
Please let me know if you find a solution. Did previous galaxy phones had this happen? I'm coming of an htc one m8 and never owned a galaxy before.

Still looking for one personally... the only other galaxy phone I owned was a s3 and that never had this issue.
LOL, glad i saw this...thought the phone was unlocking in my pocket and accidentally doing this. I also find the auto brightness is awful. Way to dim. Wish Samsung would have used Lollipop's adjustable display where you can adjust how aggressive the auto brightness gets.
I don't really have a problem with the dimness, I just wish it would stay checked...
Same thing with the S6
As others mentioned, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just have the S6, not the edge, and am having the same issue.
I got a software update last night at around 2am EST through Telus and I haven't had the auto brightness turn off on me for a few hours now. Used to happen once every 30mins-1hour. Seems to be fixed!
Can you test the Fingerprint and Bluetooth trusted devices bug? Set up a trusted device and then connect to it. Then unlock the phone and wait for the screen to turn back off. Then, try pressing the home button to see if it lets you right back in to the phone, rather then having to do the damn swipe screen
many things not working
Hi
I have marked that many things are different in S6 and many many features are missing
1) Auto brightness gets disable on its own
2 ) Edge notification getting disabled
3) Open background tab opting missing
4) Switching between chrome tabs needs left hard key
5) Apps are crashing
6) Annoying Mobile data disable popup window!(with no option to disable it)
7) Long pressing Mobile data options opens up data uses rather than network settings!
8) Quick view can't be expanded by dragging it with two fingures!
9) Syncing is not good
10) people can hear me well on phone.
11) No guest mode!
I get more of a feel that I am using iPhone than S6! Many user settings are missing
Fixed itself
Strangest thing, seems like as of Yesterday midday or so auto-brightness is staying checked. No Idea what changed, I didn't change anything in terms of settings/restarting/etc. I will update if this changes but it is very strange...
Disable Car Mode
By disabling Car Mode, my auto brightness stayed on so far. You guys could give it a try!
found a solution!
So I was trying to fix the battery drain issue by deleting the cache according to another thread, and I noticed that the auto brightness hasn't unchecked itself since, is been about 12 hrs so far but I couldn't go 20 minutes without this happening yesterday.
Give it a try and see of it works for you, it might improve your battery life too, mine seems to be better but is too early to tell.
In case you don't how to do this, here is a copy of somebody's else instructions on hire to do it:
"Turn the phone off, then press and hold volume up + home button + power button all at the same time. You'll see a message saying "installing system update", which will display for a moment, and then you'll enter recovery. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition". Reboot, and your battery life will be much improved"

The problems started today.
-When I push the power button sometimes the screen will not turn on. When I hold the power button I can hear the sound of the power menu pop up so I know the device is receiving the signal from the power button.
-I am receiving texts very late or not at all. I just got a message my friend sent like 8 hours ago.
-The device is also a little laggy sometimes, and certain things, like the play store will not load.
-I can't turn on airplane mode
I re-flashed it with the original firmware (while keeping my data intact) and this made no change. I have installed some new apps recently, but this was several days before the issues started. I have since installed those apps and no change
Tomorrow I plan to get a new sim card, but does anyone have any other ideas?
I recently had a similar problem with my z3v. I had a wakelock from Google services that was making my processor use almost 70% constantly and would drain battery in like 3 hours. Mine turned out to be Google calendar sync. My phone would lag so hard it couldn't run widgets or anything. Check your battery in settings and see if something has a high percentage. The screen should be the highest usage by a large margin.

I turned off auto-sync and no change. The screen was the largest use followed by the playstore which had be trying to start since I tried to open it.
My playstore was messed up and would not open while this was going on. It just stayed white and if I locked the screen it took 5 mins to unlock. I also have root and used wakelock detector. I used cpu z to see if I had high processor usage.
You can try ur phone in ultra stamina and see how it acts as well for troubleshooting.

Turns out the verizon cloud backs up text messages as well so that's what I needed. I ended up just doing a factory reset of the phone, seems like all is good now. I didn't think it was going to work since I put new firmware on it and nothing changed. It seems we had the same type of problem though. I did run the phone in safe mode with no improvement, but not ultra stamina. How did you end up fixing the problem?
My husband's phone started having basically the same issues out of the blue yesterday as well. It's not rooted or anything and he hasn't downloaded any apps or anything in weeks. Folks at Verizon store have no idea what's going on. We're about to try a factory reset. We also noticed the play store was burning a lot of battery even though he hadn't tried to open it or use it for several days at least, and can't get it to open now.
Try clearing play store "data" and "cache" through app manager.
This is a disaster, I've been trying forever to restore my text messages from the verizon cloud. Keeps failing after transferring less than 20 percent (different amount each time)
