[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DsturbD:
wife has had her since May 1 and has not said anything about lag...then again, she is coming from an Exhibit II so i'm sure she probably wouldn't even notice any LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pezlomd:
For sure the note 2 is snappier I know it. I wont lie. But the s4 (at least mine) hasnt been lagging that bad at all. This ui is one of the most customizable and tricked out uis ive seen out of the box..I have no been around 3 s4s and they all been running good. Lag I do notice is switching tabs in browser and opening gallery takes like 2 secs. No keyboard lag and quadrant scores are ridiculous
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MMakoto:
Coming from the s3, I do feel that the s4 lags a little bit. Switching tabs on chrome and pressing home button is two of them, the camera shutter is laggy as well, it's not instant like how it was on the s3. I have disabled some of the bloat, but can't say it has helped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeknoGodz:
I'm going to go ahead here and say something that will probably upset quite a few people.

Your lag (in my opinion) is most likely

45% Bloatware

40% User error/****ty application choice

5% The phone

Tell me I'm wrong all you want, but that's what I'm sticking with because I have experienced much less lag and much more snappy response than the S3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdesbien31:
I would normally agree with this, BUT..... I'll address your thesis.

This is a widespread problem on the att forum, and all display models I've played with.

Bloatware: it's all disabled

User error / sharty app: I'm using the same apps I've used on my last 20 phones, most recently the HTC one with 0 lag.

The phone: well that's most likely the problem, I think Samsung failed on this one....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavrunrx:
FALSE.

i think your carrier is ****ty.

return your unit, and buy a tmobile one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeknoGodz:
I should've put ATT where I put The Phone... that's really what I meant.

Like I have said, I experienced NO lagging problems. Pure speed and responsiveness. And this is on 3 different T-Mobile S4's that I have used extensively.

Like ^^ said, see if you can return your phone and buy a Tmobile and unlock it if it's that much of a problem, otherwise wait till we got some AOSP, because it's obvious to me that ATT's ROM is ****.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] criticalchild:
I must agree with my fellow T mobile s4 owners. I rooted. De bloated and took off a few useless window animations and my s4 is flying. Only one tiny tiny thing maaaybe is home button is .05 secs to slow. Personally I feel like its some BS samsung bug or timing issue in software.

Im coming from a rooted htc amaze dual 1.5ghz snapdragon w 1gb ram, that was a fast phone when it was unlocked and set up properly.

With the s4 Even when I had it completly stock it wasnt "lag" it was more touchwiz and bloat. Performance AND battery life have been amazing for me. My device doesnt even have much of the smearing others are reporting.

I dont post much but this device has restored my faith in samsung phones.

If your device is otherwise I think you should replace or buy tmo ver and unlock like previously stated.

Hope it works out for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DataHawg:
I don't have an S4 so I can't test this, but Jason on All About Android said he turned off Air Gestures and the lag and stuttering went away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Falco:
I'm coming from an s2 t989 and am completely pleased with the results. The home button lag isn't evident in my device, I'll get back to you if it comes up .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have many app ideas, but don't have the skill or the time to learn how to make an app. if you would like to know an idea and attempt to make one, just message me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iunlock:
+1, Not that it is a huge difference, but this does make a small difference.

Before my S4, I had (still have) the Note II ... The touch screen on the S4 is much snappier (obviously with the new integrated tech.) than any of my previous phones...Note II and S3.

This is definitely not a hardware issue for those who are experiencing the random lag.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdesbien31:
I think your right about that after seeing other carriers aren't having the same lagfest we AT&T users are having. I guess I'll have to take it in the ars until our bootloader gets unlocked and we get roms......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vandiere:
No lag problems on my TMO S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xxjrsmith3xx:
well i dont know whats going on buttt I have massive lagg with turning lots of things off. I had the note 2 and it was so much snappier for sure. I also had the htc one and it was so much faster then the s4 but I love the s4 but this lag is just killer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavrunrx:
any chance you can provide a video of the 'massive lag' ?

its not that i dont believe you, but i think those of us whom have not experienced lagging issues would like to see if this is infact a real issue, or... maybe you (and others) are just more.. 'sensitive' to it ?

dunno :cowboy:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
its definately NOT the phone which you stated 5%.... and why i say that is because this will run 3x faster if you are running AOSP... I choose not to, because then i will lose everything that MAKES this phone a GS4

It does lag. and im gonna say that it does not feel ANY faster then my OCed s3 running touchwiz and wicked rom.. Although antutu benchmark is shooting skyhigh, it doesnt feel any faster.

but im sure it will after debloated, tweaked roms come out and kernels that we can overclock.

where i see the lag is in the dialer, typing in a text sometimes lags causing me to incorrectly type words, and how fast apps launch is kinda slow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdesbien31:
I dont have anything else to record with, but the lag is something certain people will be more sensative about. The fact that my year old Note 2 is faster is alarming. So this is definetley a problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xxjrsmith3xx:
exactly how I feel the note 2 just by far feels faster... just opening apps the note 2 feels faster.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jntdroid:
It's a hard thing to describe. I will say that there is not a noticeable speed difference between the S4 and S3 that I had for a long time (stock rooted, not OC'd). And occasionally it just feels bogged down or like something's causing it to drag a bit. It could also simply be how Samsung has attempted to make the UI extra smooth with lots of "slow" animations that occasionally hang a bit. I don't know... I'm not complaining either, because over all it runs great. But for the spec bump, I think people are expecting a difference in leaps and bounds, and that's simply not there. I also have an HTC One and it never feels bogged down at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] madwolf27:
Mine lags badly. It is driving me insane really. It should be faster than my s3 but it is sooooo much slower. My Sensation was faster.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cnanii:
T-Mobile S4 lag? imposible!!

http://androidheadlines.com/2013/05...ss-that-octa-core-isnt-so-great-afterall.html
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aznmode:
Just got mine and do see some lag and stutter. Transition from portrait to landscape is not smooth either. My note 2 is so much smoother. I'm hoping it will get fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hoggles:
It will for sure get fixed. Either by Sammy or of course the Dev community... Wicked ROM for example.

Aside from all the software goodies being disabled or enabled...one thing that can help lag / stutter a little bit, is by turning off all animations in developer options...which I'm sure you're well aware of. I prefer them off anyway...makes the phone snappier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] flip3547:
After I first got the phone, it was very snappy, then it seemed to lag but only slight. I've been using this, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2158329, on my S3 previously and it seemed to bring the snappy right back to my S4 after installing. Just a thought to those experiencing lag. It doesnt seem crazy better but better none the less.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thatexan:
CAMERA or Camcorder turns on Transition Animation Scale to 1x!!!!

hi all,, im a noob i know,,, ive had rooted S3 for a year now, love it! got a new S4 few days ago,, rooted it,, deleted all s-bloatware, deleted all verizon bloat,, turned off all animations, and phone is still super laggy when waking up phone/doing anything,, old S3 runs circles around this S4,, called samsung today & they were no help at all,,called verizon,, they said they're pushing out a update in the next few "days" not weeks to fix an error message peeps are getting and also for the lag but more for the error is what i got from the convo,,-------- ANYWAYS my ACTUAL point of posting here is that i have noticed that every time i open the CAMERA or Camcorder on the S4 no matter if i take a picture/video or close the app right away it automatically turns on the Transition Animation Scale to 1x!!!! i would love to know if this happens to everyone and maybe they just haven't noticed lol,, also noticed that the S4 doesn't lag as much when its plugged in being charged not matter if battery is 100% or 5% but unplug phone and it adds more lag,, DO I JUST HAVE A DEFECT or what? if these things dont hold true on your S4 then i can just have them send me another one,, Or hopefully this update maybe called 4.3.1 for verizon will fix all this in the next few days,, thanks for reading
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
You should probably post in the Verizon S4 forum since you seem to have the Verizon variant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thatexan:
Yeah I didn't see a verizon thread.. but again my point was to ask if anyone on any network has noticed the animation starting up by itself from using the camera and or camcorder which you would be involved to answer since you're in a S4 thread to, would you mind testing it out and checking? :) ✌♥✌♥
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xmanberserker:
I used the camera and my animations are still off, btw i suggest to flash ktoonsez kernel to improve performance of the phone.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MasterDevGR:
Hello XDA,

I am new here in XDA and I would like to know which UI you prefer.Do you like Xperia Z,LG UI 3 or TouchWiz 5?I'm asking because I'm going to make a ROM based on CyanogenMod 10.1 by mike,themed and modded with one of these styles.Personally I prefer TouchWiz 5 SGS4 style.Please vote the poll.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhashim6:
Every body has,his choice.. U will find who love x z.. & who love touchwiz.. u will not find a certain rebly :)

So make ur choice & u will find who love it ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MasterDevGR:
So,I am going to build TW5 ROM.I will try to make it fast,stable and smooth.I think I can give you lagfree HD gaming and good battery life.

PS.I will start building as soon as mike releases the new build for WT19i because this phone I'm using now.

PS2.There will be (maybe) AROMA installer so you can modify the ROM as you like.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhashim6:
Well done bro I Will try it.. Want to test tw5.. Yup if u useed Aroma that will.be great.. Hard luck pro.. I'm,wating that Rom ;) :D :thumbup:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MasterDevGR:
So,

Unfortunately I don't have time to include AROMA but it will be included in future releases.My TW5 ROM is almost ready for upload but I have very bad internet speed now and its size is 270MB.It has fully working S-Voice and in the next release it will have S-Translator and many other "S" apps.As it's based on CM10.1 by mike for some reason works only one speaker.But I am sure that this great developer will fix it soon.As soon as this ROM uploaded I will try to port SlimBean ROM from Galaxy S because I have this phone running SlimBean and it's great.The only problem is that it isn't multilanguage,only English,German,Italian and other 2-3.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhashim6:
that's bad ,, the slow internet shouldn't Prevents U ,, I think that U will make Great ROM :D

So when U Upload it I will test it :D

:good: work :D

But yeah, I've had the phone less than a week, and used it to set an alarm a few days ago. I went to edit it last night, and it came up with "Unfortunately, Clock has stopped", and the same happens even after I've cleared the cache and data etc... HELLPPPP!!!
