Dropped frames in apps and UI, but only sometimes? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I own a Acer iconia tab 8 840FHD. I have managed to root it but no matter what I try to do to prevent dropped frames its still there.
Its a well powered tablet and sometimes its smooth at butter but when I lock it for a few minutes and go back on to it games have dropped frames slightly and so does the UI. After a while it becomes smooth again but comes back randomly.
I have and still am using greenify and clearing the multitask button but no difference. I have even changed the governor to performance and no difference. The only way it seems to stay smooth is by reducing the resolution :\
I also have disabled a bunch of apps. Using nova launcher keeps the UI smooth but not games.
I just don't get how it can run so smooth for a while then I see dropped frames to about 20fps.
If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it.

Really? No one?

[Q] Why does my s2 lag ?

Ive noticed this sinse ive bought the phone but i cant see why it lags so much on the simple task ie. when on the home screen it stutters when scrolling through the home panels ( i do have quite a bit of widgets but that shouldnt make a diffrence ) the browser on the other hand is fine? . One other thing ive noticed is that the camera takes quite a bit of time to take to picture and ready itself for a next one? the pictures still look amazing but my freind has a single core desire hd which has the same results instantly? Is there a fix to this in a rom or such im currently running a stock rom which has had the mods so that it doesnt lag?
Possibly bloatware? Try going into the privacy & security settings and do a factory wipe + usb wipe as well. If you bought the phone from carrier, this should hopefully remove all the carrier bloatware apps. If they are still there, then that means the bloatware is built into the ROM and you can't get rid of it without rooting and a custom ROM.
anyway there is absolutely no reason why the phone should be sluggish at the home screen. The stock touchwiz is already the smoothest stock launcher out there imo

The lag most prob is to do with having lots of Widgets remove them and see if it makes it better.
Not noticed a delay with the camera app tbh might be to do with the focus options, you could mess about with the see if it speeds it up.
Yeah having too many widgets might be one factor, personally ive no lag whatsoever.
how do you have your phone set up so i can use the same rom as you etc.?
Bro we hav same prob but mine even worse..item age:1week(without root),1widgets, was downloaded 15 application from Android Market(Antivirus Free,Quadrant Standard,Fruit Ninja,Battery Indicator..etc).RAM status frequently maximum 355MB in use after clear 248-258MB. Setting Power Saving Mode. Rate with Quadrant Standard 3107point. The Main problem are 1)DELAY-(when open application such as clock, calendar, calculator,downloads,message inbox... average delaying 3-4sec), 2)LAGGING-(sometimes open gallery delay up-to 18sec, Playing Third Blade with delay performance, sometimes no response), 3)FORCE CLOSE-(When open new tab with Internet Browser, No Response while Playing certain Market Games-Task Manager status took-off all processing speed.Half Playing of Fruit Ninja, no response, auto jump to main menu...Somehow no solution to fix it....
Hi OP i have the same problem with the camera lag as well....recently ive notice a distinctly longer waiting period for the photo to save before the next shot is ready. anyway i thought it was my imagination until i compared it with my friend's S2 - which was lightning fast when processed.
If anyone have ideas on how to rectify the issue that would be really great!

Flashing and flickering after ICS update

Recently I have noticed that Shadowgun T3 version and Riptide (so far that I know)
These games start flickering and flashing and when i restart them they do it again. On shadowgun the first version it seems fine.
I have tried this on all three performance settings and still happens.
Any ideas XDA world?
Nvidia always!
I've yet to try any games but I do get this sometimes when using the multitask button with ADW Launcher Ex and Tablet Talks pop up thingy

i have the exact same issue. i got my tf201 yesterday and instantly updated to ICS, so idk if there were issues like this in HC, but it happens to most of the games in the tegrazone. ill be playing for 5 minutes or less and the screen starts flashing/flickering and the game is running in the background, but the screen is frozen.
Try and disable auto brightness, then see if you still notice the flicker.
It could just be the brightness changing in a not-too-smooth fashion, which happens if they don't dim it slow enough or with enough precision (in software).
I have noticed this as well from time to time, but it goes away if I set the brightness manually, since the system no longer automatically adjusted the brightness.
do you have a live wallpaper set? i was having similar issues until i set my background to a static image.
i have had a static image because i changed it as soon as i got it and i had disabled auto brightness because i wanted it lower in order to preserve battery life, but the flickering lights with frozen image still happens.
Haven't had any issues for awhile but haven't had time to really play with it either.
Nvidia always!
I notice flickering just by tapping recent items button after using a dozen apps / webpages.

i've had the exact same issue with many games since i updated my asus tf101 to ics

(Verizon GS4) Rooted 4.3 Serious lock screen/home screen lag

I am currently running rooted MJ7 (Verizon Galaxy S4) and have window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animation duration scale all turned off in developer options. I hoped that this would reduce screen and lock screen lag, however, I am getting pretty pissed about waking my phone and have to wait for 10-15 seconds for any touch response. This happens about once or twice an hour. It also occurs every so often once the screen unlocks and I will wait 10-15 seconds for anything but the wallpaper to load... I have hard reset multiple times hoping to clear the issue. I use zero widgets to avoid load time (however the hardware in this phone should be able to handle pretty damn much anything), and I manually clear cache and kill apps regularly....Nothing has helped... Any ideas or anyone else experiencing this?

Do you have lock screen effects turned off (light and water)? Turning those off really helped with the stutter I used to get when unlocking. It wasn't nearly as bad as what you're describing though... are you running any performance tweaks? Any 3rd party apps that change system behavior? I would freeze any non-stock apps and mods for a day and see if you still get it.

Haha, I actually feel quite noob at this point. Immediately after creating this post I went through my running applications in rom toolbox and noticed one little thing... There was a system cleanup tool running a total clean at every system lock, thus killing all running/background apps. The lag was simply the phone restarting the necessary applications... After eliminating this procedure I no longer experience the severity of lag. Whoops.

UI lag and stutter

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:

Scrolling suddenly has micro stutters everywhere

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?
