S9+ gaming performance is terrible - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hello, i own a galaxy s9+, SM-G9650 and i play pokemon go, mainly go battle league, which is the PvP area of the game
This phone SUCKS at it. It lags hard and has multiple fps drops through the battles. And the phone is not even hot, i am in a room with AC.
This lag, fos drop and poor performance has been going on for a long time now, maybe more than a year.
I've searched for many solutions, mainly i read that disabling "game optimizing services" would improve the performance. I did it but it's still the same.
I have a secondary phone, a moto z3 play which is a much inferior phone, and go battle league runs smoothly on that device.
Wtf is wrong with Samsung phones, specially the s9+?

Games run slower then on my inferior note 3

My smartphone which has slightly weaker hardware (almost identical but the Sony is higher clocked) still runs games better then this device. Sim city build it, gta San Andreas are noticeably smoother on the note. What could be the problem? I'm running latest stock firmware, not rooted yet. Battery saving features that could reduce performance are disabled.
I did notice that as well back in December when it resent came out but no one said anything. I can only hope that sony does something about it when lollipop comes out. my xperia z ultra plays better then this SGP621
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I also experience some animation lag in the ui occasionally, especially the homescreen. I even tried Nova launcher but it still feels stuttery.
Without root (and/or more info, i.e. an active media scanner and a bad sd card will really slow things down in my experience), I might try playing around with some display and brightness settings, i.e. turning off enhancements, intelligent backlight control, etc in order to see whether they could be a culprit.
I am not really a gamer, but I generally experience no lag inside Nova Launcher. And if I do it is often after a reboot and it goes away.

Yea I had this in hearthstone but I tried out 5.0.2 and the tablet was a lot smoother.
If you dont care about MHL and your DRM keys like I do, I recomend the CM nightly builds it transforms the tablet.
It lags a lot on SimCity Build it. I hope it gets better after Lollipop update.

Is it just me or Nougat on N9 is terribly slow and hot ?!

I've tried all previews and everytime I had to go back to M, the rom is slow and my N9 is very hot !
I thought it was the previews, but now I'm on final, and I have the same behavior.
Chrome is also verry verry slow and I have to kill if I wan't to use my tablet for something else.
Do you have this behavior on your tablets ?
No, in my case Android 7 is considerably faster than Android 5 and 6.
I get the same problems, plus some apps just decide to crash, last one to crash was Geekbench 3.
Also games are really laggy.
I flash the factory images with fastboot (erasing/formating everything) and my N9 is better now, but I'm still not convice that Nougat is ready for release.
Using chrome still makes the tablet very hot (and laggy).
It may be a chrome issue.
Funny enough i only really started to notice how slow the N9 actually is after replacing my phone with a OnePlus 3.
(yeah yeah it has a snapdragon 820 and is like 50x faster than the N9 regardless)
Overal though I've been noticing a massive degradation in my tablet's performance. Just 2 tabs in chrome is enough to start lagging it out. (Although I have the say the final Android 7 version seems considerably faster then the last Preview 5)
I'm just going to look look for a new tablet now. Because I doubt the problem is just chrome related. There just aren't many clean stock android tablets which is a real shame. But I am never buying a tablet with only 2gb RAM or a dual core again ever in my life.
Mine is pretty poor, im yet to use an android tab thats any good, can't really say its any worse since nougat but its no better either, way way slower than my phone and always has been, really dissapointed to be honest...
For me its like the Ram or processor just can't cope with even the most simple of tasks, mine's stock really considering rooting it and trying a lightweight rom to see if it improves it...
Same here... over time this device starts to get slow, especially when bringing up pages via google now or with Chrome.
Luckily, for me at least, clearing the cache resolves the slowness every time.
Yes, the Nexus 9 is slow on Nougat. Not as slow as the initial Lollipop release but still. The Nexus 9 performance seems totally inconsistent. At times it is blazing fast for an instant and then it starts stuttering. The slowdowns consistently occur when there are filesystem operations, like upgrading apps in the background.
Probaly because of nvidia soc, my nexus 5 is much faster when browsing etc. My nexus 7 was slow too even though its performance was great in benchmarks for its time
Yes. I like the split screen, often on the web with Evernote open. But, it's so slow.
Time for a custom rom?
Performance is much poorer on Nougat. Also seeing crashed. And when idle for a few hours, Wifi disconnects and doesn't reconnect when woke up.
Yes horrible on N, it gets hot and crashes! I don't love Tegra either. I think they are bad chips.

Go to Developer Options and enable High Performance mode.
PS: battery life will suffer and phone may get hot

This is the best the device can do. Remember it is run by more than two year old SD400 processor, and just 2200mah battery. This phone is heavily optimised for smooth operations of a very average user. It will not play power hungry games properly. If gaming was your forte, you should have looked elsewhere. Sorry.

Oh that's great. However I feel you will end up pushing the device which will result in heating and battery drain.
Btw, would you recommend buying this device? I am in the market to buy a new phone. I like HTC phones. Currently using HTC One M8 Eye as my secondary phone. I need to buy a 4G phone for primary use. I am kind of between heavy user and light user. I don't play games. I thought of buying this phone cuz it looks stylish and the prices seem to have come down. I can fetch this in india for INR8300 (USD 125). My budget is under USD150.

anyone feeling lag or slow on this tablet? and/or touchscreen problem?

just picked up this tablet this after cuz this is the only android tab with modern soc.
but it feels laggy when using. especialy when playing games.
The game i play called Mobile Legends,
I used to play with my Moto Z which packaged the same soc as this tab, yet the resolution looks like shyt and very choppy and laggy when playing.
Also touch screen some times stop working when multi touching, e.g walking with left wheel and attacking using right button, then left wheel stucked into one direction until release and touch left wheel again.
is it a rom issue? game issue or i received a defected unit?

I can only compare it with my OnePlus 3T but I feel that probably is a good comparison SD820 vs SD821.
In general I'd say performance is more or less the same with the odd animation stutter on the tab s3.
I don't do games so can't comment there, but its handling 4k h265 HDR content like a breeze and barely dents the battery.
I'll see if I get a chance to download and try the game, will feedback performance.
I think you need to mess with the game launcher feature to get working correctly
no stutter and lag for me so far. Mine just arrived today.
I've had mine since launch day, no issues here.
I've had two now, one Wi-Fi only device which I replaced with a LTE version and for some reason the LTE one feels more laggy, might try a factory reset.
Its because of samung touchwiz. Nougat build is really laggy even though I had tab s2 and even after heavy debloating I noticed minor difference. When I switched to a custom rom it much much snappier without any lags.
So blame samsung or wait for them to fix these issues. I have a oneplus 3 and with 820 its really quick(custom rom)!
Sometime I feel some lag, but the very annoying problem I've found is that when holding the tablet vertically, scrolling the screen up and down reveals that the right side of the display is draw a little before the left side, so showing a strange "elastic" effect. This hurts me given the "premium" level of the tablet. The same effect doesn't show on my 3 years old Tab S, nor in landscape orientation.
Did you notice the same things?
Sent from my SM-T825 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Have LTE version and it does feel laggy. Special if the device been off for long time.
Pretty bad performance when apps are updating or after sitting idle or of for long periods. Can't wait to root and put a Rom on it but I want to keep s pen functionality.
I did a Geekbench at 07 this morning I got 1823 single core and 4033 multi.
Now, a few hours later I get no more than 1190 single and 3100 multi, which is slower than my Tab s2
and my Geekbench 4 app hangs when trying to start up have to force quit it sometimes.
How can I find out who/what is stealing my speed?
Huib
Sorry kids, the Tab s3 is back to normal with single core 1773 multi core 4033 and compute a whopping 7085.

Same problem with my LTE. Sometimes he hardly wakes up after a while. It may take some seconds or not wake up at all.
Now I have really problems. It just does not start up. It reboots when not starting up from lepp
.
-There is no difference if using Nova or Touchwiz.
-The data/apps on it is a clone of my Tab S2
Huib
P.s.
I must say that playing very large Video files ( >10 GB) is much snappier. But e.g. my Dutch Volkskrant/AD newspaper does a very bad two fingers zoom pitch. It just hangs now and then while zooming. Problems that I do not have while zooming google foto's and others.

I removed the SD card and did a factory rest and it seems like its working fine now. The tablet wakes up very fast and I don't see any lag so far.
are you guys using an SD card?
Yes, that should not be a problem. 128 GB.
I had however the program Dropsync ( great software BTW) referring to a non existing folder on the SD card.
So, at every startup/wake up, the program seemed to be searchig for the folder. And that caused the delay or hanging.
I am not 100% sure, but after stopping Dropsync, and later on referring to the correct folders, the problem never came back.
A small test, removing the SD card, helped me a lot.
Huib
Not using it to play games, but it seems to run smoother after an update I received today.
Hi! After reading this thread, I've decided to remove sd card and tablet stopped lag. Then I've formatted SD card to exFat, removed unused files so some music, several books and 3 photos left there. After putting it back, tablet started to lag again.
Today I've run AnTuTu Benchmark with sd and without. 1 test with card, 1 without, 1 with, 1 without. Between tests I've only closed AnTuTu via back button and nothing else.
So results:
With SD1: 3D 28282, UX 38632, CPU 29294, RAM 9185 TOTAL 105393
Without SD1: 3D 53146, UX 41127, CPU 23673, RAM 7392 TOTAL 125338
With SD2: 3D 28743, UX 38650, CPU 22223, RAM 6571 TOTAL 96187
Without SD2: 3D 57138, UX 43860, CPU 24020, RAM 8690 TOTAL 133708
As you can see, 3D and UX are much faster WITHOUT card. It's prettey old ADATA 32GB. No app is installed there. How can this be?
Old SD cards can get laggy. I had one in my Note4 that I'd had for about 5 years. Lots of reading and writing to it in that time. Eventually my Note4 started lagging and becoming unresponsive. I took the SD card out and no more lag.

But what is he doing with SD card? There only few songs. Does it cache on SD all the time?

My UK LTE version doesn't lag. It's actually quite fast and fluid. Do you have Samsung's cloud back-up feature activated? It consumes a lot of resources when it's running. I must have a unicorn Tab S3. It's never experienced Wi-Fi drain and gets stunning battery life; both in stand-by and active use.

Very Bad Gaming Performance

Hi all Folks, im here because looking for any option or way to improve the phone's performace because playing world of tanks blitz i got results even worse than my Redmi Note 4X... All settings improved like gaming mode even tried to uninstall all the apps (to try) and the performance is very weird when you go into first person view and many of other players are in your view, in can't understand how bad this phone performs, am i the only who dissappoint with this? Its an European version, but maybe i will use again my redmi note 5 that my mom is using now (with far better battery).
Thanks in advance for any recommendations
You must have a faulty unit.... Mine plays games without lag..
I also dont have problems...i.playmarvels contest of champions and clash royal ..bery good,no lag
