[General Questions and Answers] sasdas:
So I finally have an htpc setup in the living room with xbmc running, I really like using the xbmc remote, yatse or other dosnt matter to much, its very nice to use the remote since I can easly find what movies I have and other information much more quicker and I dont interrupt anyone or myself when watching something, it also has a nice feature of sending a youtube link to be watched on xbmc.

What I wanted to know, is if its possible to have an android device locked completely off all apps and can only use two apps, specifically youtube and an xbmc remote app, the reason for this is that it makes my life easier since their are other people who watch xbmc but are not as "tech" oriented or what not, but using a remote like this might make their experience alot easier, so basically the android device can only change between the xmbc remote app and youtube, everything else is hopefully unable to be accessed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensation-al!:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and there has always been a lag from when i push the power button to when the screen actually turns on/off. It's not terrible, however, it is very noticeable. I've been told that this issue had plagued almost every samsung 'galaxy' phone... For those of you who have an s4, is there any lag like this? thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiefroastbeef:
The power button lag to turn on phone will always be there, remember, the phone is (or should be) in deep sleep when you wake it up, so there is a slight delay. I think there are apps that will prevent deep sleep and wake up your phone faster, but of course, that should drain your battery faster.

I think its not right to criticize any android app for having scroll lag because as it turns out pretty much all apps have scroll lag so not all devs can be clueless eh?

The bigger matter is when is this ever being addressed? Jelly bean has taken care of many performance issues but this one matter remains. Seems like Google's "war" on lag hasn't been completely successful yet.

On iOS and windows phone its pretty difficult to get scroll lag even if you try hard for it so obviously android is doing something wrong that can be fixed I believe.

Oh comon I am not talking about scroll lag on nexus S but phones like galaxy S3 and nexus 4 also DO have lag. Do you think I'll make a thread based on a nexus S on this forum?

Stutter when trying to scroll very quickly inside an app like a list. It might sometimes be smooth but not always.

Examples are whatsapp, viber, facebook, xda, google currents etc. Use the same app on iOS or WP8 and they wont break a sweat. You might think that its not really a big deal until you see those apps on other platforms.

Exactly that I find to be the biggest performance problem with android, thumbnail loading causes lag even on the most high end phones.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanjiajun_34:
I am not sure about wp or iOS. For my Nexus 4, it does lag with scrolling. Twitter application lags a bit when scrolling very fast and then slowing down. Facebook application definitely lag! Instagram do jerk a bit when the scrolling speed is slowing down. Same goes to the 9gag application. Maybe people just have low expectations or just don't like to hear bad things about their device. It is a problem in Android and it is good to be identified and Google can improve it.

Coming from both iOS and WP, scroll lag was almost nonexistent. Although my 3GS was a little laggy with iOS 6 on it, still not as bad as my N4 in apps.

Why is hard to understand that engineering is compromise. For building a mobile OS Google had to compromise something to get something.

They compromised on UI and smoothness to make sure it runs on different hardware and screen sizes. Now that Android is sufficiently stable and more feature complete they are focusing on internals e.g Project Butter and the recent work on audio latency that was in IO sessions.

Apple has the habit of sacrificing features for UI. The first iPhone didn't even have a wallpaper.

It's two different engineering ideas at work trying to solve two different problems.

That makes sense. So why does it seem like its only you that keeps saying this lol...I'm not jerking ya off lol, I'm being serious cause I really think your the only one that makes a valid point about why the screen has what we are calling input lag, or a latency while what seems like the entire rest of the android world is taking as lag of a software type, a stuttering or something. I mean with all one upmanship going on with the Android manufactures and Apple...why doesn't one of these companies just make a touchscreen on par with the iPhone product? Is it that hard? I'm asking cause I don't know lol, and I'm hoping you have an idea, I'm just blown away by this since I've been saying for years that as much as I love android devices, they all have a certain feel that differs from iProducts and I could never put my finger on it, and I'm wondering if this is it.

Here is the deal for me. While I do fond my phone lags SOMETIMES, there is a very important question you have to ask yourself.

Both are making progress, Apple and Google. However, what does the progress look like? This is a clear win for Google hands down and this is why I stick to android or more specifically nexus.

Jeez, this phone is really great. And so is Google, they make sure to come with improvements every time there is a massive update. They clearly have the lead when it comes to the is,maybe it can be adjusted to be more responsive or smoother. But the truth is I know eventually we will get there.

It is the faith and trust in Google that makes me stick to them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
Precisely. I must tip my hat to the Android developers because they are writing apps that will work on multi devices. With the latest iOS, it will be released on one phone and, typically, updated to another previous device. With the latest version of Android, it will be released on a few devices and get updated to many other devices. All of which have different screen sizes & resolution, differing cpu speeds, differing amounts of memory, and different input methods. Then on top of that, you have manufacturers adding their own frameworks and user interfaces. I applaud Apple for being the key innovator with these touch screen phones. Google on the other hand has maintained open source and has been pushing to get Android and it's services in as many people hands as possible, while steadily improving on it. The single phone approach by Apple has provided stability and paid off for it over the last few years, but the landscape does change and that is what Google has been preparing for. You can tell the gap has really closed when the trolls can only find the smallest things to nit pick and when you see Apple stock sliding as it has.

Here is a lil video of the general performance on my phone, usually i don't scroll maniacally, but for the sake of inducing lag/stutters i had to do it (and failed to induce any).

i didn't film any apps that contain personal stuff, but you'll have to take my word for it, the dialer works just as great and smooth as the rest of the OS, in fact the stock dialer is one of the things i like most on aosp, simple and efficient.

The only 2 places where i can see lil hickups are facebook-obviously- (which i didn't record) and the playstore. Now, the guys that have been on android for some time know it took Google a while to polish the old playstore, and as this "card view" is still relatively new, give it a bit of time.

As for google apps (g+,gmusic, drive..) there was no need to open them as we all know they are pretty smooth for everybody.

my setup is fully stock (rooted) , with nova launcher, scroll speed set to "faster than light" , Animation speed set to "Fast". no additional tweaks (except greenify, if one could consider it tweaking).

Conclusion: i don't see any hickups/stutters/lags other than the 2 apps i mentioned above, not even whatsapp. (i don't use tapatalk so i'm not qualified to write about it). It's a phone, i don't put it under a microscope or slow motion cam and measure FPS, all i expect from it is when i take it out of my pocket, to do what i want in the quickest and most pleasing user experience possible, and i can tell you, it delivers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illgodson:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
There is a difference in touch latency there is no doubt about it. However given the fact that every windows phone seems to have iOS like touch latency is proof that its not hardware related.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illgodson:
I haven't laid my hands on a Windows Phone since the HD2 and that was for all of a week before I flashed it over to Android, but the only WM phones I notice that seem relevant are Nokia devices, and I have tried my nieces low end Lumia I guess its called and it certainly does not have low latency like an iDevice. Now if its the better models your speaking of, I certainly haven't tried any but have heard others mirror your opinion, but again are these all Nokia devices? I haven't heard anything about HTC WM phones so maybe someone else has, but if its limited to these new Nokia series of WM phones, I would say that rules out hardware...simply that HTC, Samsung and LG have neglected to invest the time or resources into it....maybe?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forzanetti:
I've been meaning to ask the same question. I noticed all high end Android devices (with stock ROM) have in-app lags, especially in terms of scrolling (eg. ES File Explorer, Whatsapp, etc). There has been some improvement with JB, but the lag is still there (albeit minimal).

Not to offend anyone, but there are people who claims their phone with stock ROM (be it Nexus 4 or other high end phones) runs smoothly without any lags. I call that BS. Come on, even though you are an Android fanboy, surely you can't be that ignorant not to notice the occasional stutter while scrolling.

I've read somewhere (don't know whether it's true or not) that Android will always have lags, because of the way it's being built. So far we've seen that phone makers are trying to solve that with what I call 'brute force", i.e. multi-core processor, higher clock speed, and more RAM.

But again, as a consumer we have to choose. Do we want greater customization with occasional lag, or no lag with minimal customization. That's why the iOS vs. Android war is never going to end. They are always bragging about their own strength.

For me, I prefer greater customization. I can live with the occasional lag and stutter. And when my iOS user friends brags about their zero-lag phone, I'll just laugh and show them how my phone with tons of widgets can perform daily tasks much faster than theirs.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
iOS is lag free. Lol. Talk about more BS. The bottom line for me is, I would rather deal with a very slight touch latency than the shortcomings of the iPhone. Sure you can keep the operating system more stable by locking it down, but it is also going to be stale and boring and that really sucks. I don't know how I would handle not having any widgets. I'm having too much fun playing with and customizing my N4 to be trolling on iPhone forums. But I guess that is what happens when you have a stale and boring phone. Lol.

I think it was an Android engineer that said Android will never be as smooth as iOS or Windows Phone 7/8 due to the way it's built. Something about the VM, I believe.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osi13:
I've been using Android since the HTC EVO and had Donut on my HTC Vogue. I also own a 4s, and iOS isn't lag free, either. I've noticed that most of the scroll lag seems to be caused by poor development. I don't use ES File Explorer, Whatsapp, or Facebook, but I do use Solid Explorer, and Instagram, and both of those applications are completely lag free. I'm actually surprised by how fast I can scroll through Instragram, especially when I scroll with the 4s, and N4 side by side.

However, I do notice lag with the SiriusXM app (it's mostly minor), and Google Voice (a disaster). Also, Fusion Messenger was pretty laggy at first, but it's gotten a lot better with time. With the last update, it's nearly lag free. The eBay application was laggy at times, but with the latest update, it's much more smooth. Nova Launcher is also flawless, and I have the widget drawer disabled.

The launcher is very smooth, and 9/10 of my most popular applications are nearly perfect -- I've dumped GV for Fusion messenger.

Also, both Chrome Beta, and the AOSP browser are very smooth. Chrome Beta gets better and better with each release, and I'm very happy with it. I use Chrome Beta about 90% of the time. Safari is very smooth on the 4s, but browsing on the Nexus 4 is miles better, and Chrome beta was the only mobile browser that could access my university's portal.

One other thing. I've heard people complain about lag with pdf readers. You should ditch Adobe Reader and try MuPDF. It's very smooth on both my Nexus 7, and Nexus 4. I just graduated, but I read numerous books with my N4 and N7 with MuPDF, and it's hands down the best pdf reader on Android. The same applies with MS Office applications, I've had very good luck with OfficeSuite.

You can't judge from one device/setup, obviously from the forums you can see that some people have some issues with lag and stutters, and many others don't.

Also you can't make such claims (as in the OP) if you don't have the device. Actually having the phone as a daily driver is not the same as "used it for the purposes of testing lag".
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
I have tested this on many phones including the galaxy S3, galaxy nexus etc. One does not need to use a device as a daily driver to see lag in it. I dont use iphone as a personal phone but I still know about its performance pretty well.
