Hello everyone..
I just bought the Mega 6.3 .. and am very happy with it and its running very well and smooth . but just one problem with the notification bar when i pull it down its slow and lagging , not smooth at all. and sometime take long time to drop down.. anyone can help me with this problem if there is a fix for it please reply me... and also sometimes when i press the home bottom to go the home screen , the widgets and the icons on the home screen loading very slow and appear slowly //
Turn animations to .5x instead of x1, or even off completely.
I'm having the same issue. My phone is fast everywhere except when I swipe down the notification bar. It's slow as molasses. It doesn't make any sense because the device is fast everywhere else.
Update: after turning animations off the notification bar is now fast again. I had to reboot for the animation changes to take effect.
Thank you so much for a quick reply, but one more thing i found 3 animation (Window animation scale, transition animation scale, animation duration scale), which one i should turn it off? Or all of them i off it..
Thanks a lot in advance

I turned all 3 to off. I didn't bother testing by first going down to .5x and seeing the results. I just turned the animations off as I don't really care.
I turned off all the animation and the notification became smooth and fast but after 2 days it got slow and lagging again, I don't know why, i kept the animation off all of them, please guys i need help with this problem, i really like this phone and this is the only problem i have it.....

Do you have all the features enabled like smart stay, multiwindow, etc? Check the running apps to see if you have lots of apps running in the background. You can use an app called Greenify to stop apps running in the background and slowing your phone.
I turned off and smart stay and also the multiwindow since the first day i bought the phone ,but i only turn on the air view, and i checked my background apps that running are not that much, btw my phone is NOT rooted, and it's ridiculous from Samsung that i can't use all the features of the phone that they advertised for such model and i even not root my phone or change anything, ..

Since the days of wm5 phones have been a compromise, large screen high power phones have awful battery life, we have got a good mix, large screen with reasonable performance and great battery life. I am very happy with the balance. If you want to run all the functions you are going to need the note 3. All IMHO of course

I don't have problems with the battery life , and i don't
care about the features i only use the air viewy, but i only have one problem with the notification lagging and slow when dropping it down, .. Even after turning off the animation scale..
I just wondering Samsung after making a phone with all these features they testing it and how come they didn't notice the lagging or maybe they did notice and they said it's okay people will buy it anyway and they will give us their money..
I like Samsung cuz i know they are the best in my opinion but sometimes for a small easy things they make me hate them...

I never had problems with the notification lagging or being slow when dropping it down.
I don't think it's a common problem so it might just be your phone's set-up.

Go to Settings > More > Developer options > Scroll down to find: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale
Tap each of these to show the options. I suggest choosing 0.5x or turning them off.
Check this out. There is no Developer options in the "More" tab??
What gives.. XXUAMEA.

To enable developer options go to Settings > More > About device > tap build number 7 times
After doing this, developer options will be available in Settings > More

Very nice! ... Thanks. I never did have a problem with notification lag, but did turn off the animations.
We'll see if I notice any differences. Thanks again
Guys i did wipe cash from original recovery (my phone not rooted) then i got error written in the middle of the screen and then the phone restart and then the notification became smooth and normal, but now am wondering why it showed error even when i wipe data..

It probably found whatever was the problem and fixed it.

I just returned my mega as I couldn't deal with the slow notification bar. I loved the device but having the notification bar lag so bad was the deal breaker.
So today I found out that my phone isn't running well.
I'm not expecting the Sony UI to be perfect, lag-proof and anything, but I think the problem hasn't gone out and there's something wrong.
My phone constantly stutters and you get a bit of lag whenever I swipe from left to right, in the app drawer, the notification menu and when I'm opening apps. I've set the animation speed to 0.5x and it still stutters, paired with bits of lag. I'm looking for the smooth and fluidic transitions and animations but I'm just not getting it.
This happens each time I put my phone to sleep and wake it up after. It isn't the screen wake up lagging, but the UI itself. The animations start to stutter and lag then.
The solutions I have made are; restarting the device, which can get annoying every now and then; and freeing up space, which worked once and the problem went back again.

Is there a solution to this? I have installed more than 80 apps and I think it's one of the contributions to the problem.
And to be honest I have some OCD and it quite annoys me.

Do a clean flash via Flashtool (wipe everything), try with latest Lollipop update. After that install your apps one by one and try to figure it out which one is cause of your problems. :good:
I was totally happy with my G5, have it now since 4 weeks. Everything was perfect. But suddenly, out of nowhere, I have this weird micro stuttering (reduced smoothness) everywhere where I can scroll. In the app drawer (Nova launcher), in scroll lists like the app lists in the Play Store App, in the Settings menu, mostly everywhere, in Chrome too, in the notification bar when swiping it down. It doesn't happen always though but with a high chance. It's mostly hard to describe but I would say, that before it was always 60fps animations, and now it's not anymore. It's not totally broken (maybe 30-50fps), but not smooth. You can notice it really well when you scroll really slow with your finger up and down with a rhythmic interval and look at the screen animation how it stutters, it's no smooth animation like it used to be. It's especially worse in the settings gui when you slowly scroll down, the screen will stutter a few frames behind the animation time.
It's not rooted nor did I install any apps whats soever lately which could cause this. I even tried to remove some apps I have installed over the last days, with no effect. Tried to reboot of course too several times.
I am totally sure, that it was silky buttery smooth before this everywhere.

You can solve this by going to Setings/Developer Settings/ Tick "Force GPU Rendering"
My unrooted LG G4 is smooth because of this.
If U have root! Try L Speed / Trimmer fstrim / Entropy. try these 3 apps found on the Play Store.

Sadly that didn't change anything, I already had tried it before, because I knew that "trick". Also "Disable HW overlays" didn't change anything if toggled.
Well, its Android so you can always factory reset the device easily. You can also use LG backup to restore app data I think. Should be pretty painless assuming sync is enabled on your phone (google photos + account backup ..contacts calendar etc..).
Isn't your internal storage getting full?
Hi all,
just wondering if anyone noticed,
after the Oreo update I don't see as smooth transition animations as before,
it is easily visible when you set Transition animation scale in Developer options to 2x (for better demonstration) and then try to select app from recent list of app from background. The app should be selected in lower part of the recent screen for better effect... this animation of maximizing window is not very smooth...it's like jittering...
Didn't see that on Nougat...
Disable HW overlays (Always use GPU for screen compositing) option solved the issue, but I think it also drains a bit more battery.
I did factory reset and noticed it right after the first boot so it seems to be firmware related.
The two big ones are the animations that play when opening multitasking and when opening the keyboard. Instead of playing the animation, it just skips it. Has anyone had this issue?
Disregard this. I turned off Developer Tools and it went back to normal. I didn't change anything in the options to trigger this so I'm still a bit confused
Actually, I dont know why, but sometimes when you open the camera app it can trigger developer options and turn off animations for some reason.
Only on LG phones ..
