[LG G Flex 2] Applesexual:
What a very weird year this is. It's like opposite year.

The S6/S6 Edge is the smoothest phone out there, even smoother than the iPhone. Its build quality is top-notch and unrivaled by anyone in the industry - All reviewers are in agreement.

Who would have thought that Samsung, the King of cheap materials and laggy UIs, would deliver the smoothest phone with the highest build quality?

That's not even the best part. It's htc and LG phones now that have lag and stutter.

This is just too funny.
[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
Still can't complain about the battery. WTH all you people with sucky battery life run?
[LG G Flex 2] dondavis007:
I suppose you're a proud owner of said phones with a final version of their firmware on?

If not, one could think you're trolling a bit.

[LG G Flex 2] erhnam:
I have the H955 and its lagging.

Came from the Nexus 5 (also LG) and that has a better flow than the Flex 2.

Is there a way to get a better experience at the moment? I have never rooted before. What software controlls throttling after root?
[LG G Flex 2] MoonRaven:
I just went through the topic because I am still a bit interested in the Flex 2 (or most likely the G4). Applesexual has been trolling a lot here and on the HTC One M9 forums, thank god his account got disabled.

I do think that most of these issues can be resolved with new firmware. The HTC One M9 also has the 810 and they fixed the temperature issues a couple of days ago. It seems Android doesn't like to work together with the 810. (or at least 64 bit).
[LG G Flex 2] Custodian:
Whelp I got a lil treat for y'all here shortly, just finishing up a lil testing before releasing. So far, throttling and heating has diminished :P

My experience

Hello guys,

I'm here just to talk about my experience after few days of usage.

The phone itself is really beautiful to me, the first day was traumatic: battery was draining very fast and system was not that stable + it felt laggy sometimes.

Second day: system is still a bit laggy but not that much, battery already improved a lot and i could reach late evening with a 10% left at around 11PM (not that bad considering i get up at 8AM).

Third day: see second day.

Fourth day: I decided to try to factory reset the phone, as i read somewhere it helps with the lags.

Well.. this made my day. I feel like my phone is a lot faster now, and I'm sure it's not a placebo effect. That's really strange.

However, I'm enjoying a lot this phone now. Let's see if battery gets even better!

I'm sorry if I did any grammatical mistake, english is not my native language :p
[LG G Flex 2] bmoses:
just wanted to add my 2 cents to this :)

i'm now on my 3rd Sprint Flex 2, here is a condensed version of what i've had.

1) first device - extreme overheating and lagged like crazy. lag was fixed by doing a factory reset, but heat was a big issue. doing simple things like browsing the internet in Chrome made the device uncomfortable to hold it was so hot.

2) second device - heat problem seemed to be fixed on this one, didn't have lag issues because i factory reset it right away. the phone would get warm and sort of hot when doing intensive things, but would cool down quickly and would stay cool during "normal" use. however this one had slightly noticeable horizontal lines going through the screen, especially the top 3rd of the screen. wasn't a huge issue per say, but it was annoying.

3) third device - swapped out the 2nd one for this one due to the screen issue. this devices screen is perfect and so far hasn't gotten hot. factory reset right away so no lag so far. have only had it about an hour, but doing the restore of my backup the device barely got warm. the 1st one would have been smoking hot by the time the restore was done.

overall the phone is great and much improved over the original flex, especially the camera, that is assuming you get a good one! seems like there are some major quality control issues going on at LG with this phone.
[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
I consider myself lucky then. I didn't manage to get it even warm even when running all those benchmarks over and over again.
[LG G Flex 2] erhnam:
As mentioned mine lags more than my old nexus 5.

Did a factory reset since it has helped others. No difference.

My device doesnt get hot. Not before nor after factory reset.
[LG G Flex 2] caysman:
I'm in a country with ambient 38c and I can feel it get hot!

A reset helped it a little but it gets laggy again after a while. Today I had someone complain to me that her Galaxy Grand was lagging so much it was intolerable, but when she tried my G flex 2 she said that it was the same so she was not going to buy a new phone. LOL!
[LG G Flex 2] tylerdurden83:
Which phone lags LESS than a N5 with 5.1?
[LG G Flex 2] erhnam:
I have 5.01 on the nexus.
[LG G Flex 2] rowihel2012:
what this? i was going to sel my note 4 snapdragon 805 to buy the lg g flex 2

so now a phone with snapdargon 810 lag? what the hell

even my note 4 lag and overheat like hell

what should i buy to get no lag and ultra fast phaplet?

z ultr??? it was exreamly fast with snapdragon 800 no lag att all

what should i buy? lg g pro 2? i had it for a year it is the most powerfull thing i have ever use was extreamly fast butit was stolen i cant find it any more in stores

so lg g pro2 with snap 800 faster the lg g flex 2 with snap 810???
[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
I'm speaking only for myself because other people have apparently different experience. I strongly believe, that any current lag will be taken care of with the next update. For ME it's not that bad and I'm talking about it only because with all the top shelf hardware, there should be none.

I wouldn't switch MY phone for anything else currently on the market.

And I've had quite a few as you can tell by my sig.
[LG G Flex 2] Arkangel786:
I am so so close to buying one, but am being increasingly put off by the reports of lag and overheating. Also, I can only get the 16gb here in the UK which despite having an sdcard slot is not ideal.
[LG G Flex 2] scottegos2:
Yeah, I suspect you're on the right path. I'm deciding where to go from my Galaxy S5 and following the various discussions and reviews. My distinct impression is that the Snapdragon 810 is pretty challenging to "get right" as far as a scheduler policy that dispatches the right threads at the right time at the right frequencies.
[LG G Flex 2] maktub19:
I'm curious where you saw this notorious lag? The phone works well, so you do not have all the problems you refer!
[LG G Flex 2] jodeelee:
I too had really bad lag. I stopped using the default home and switched to Nova. Much better. I suspect the home is the one causing it.
[LG G Flex 2] erhnam:
I also switched to nova. Still lags.
[LG G Flex 2] faremoney:
i have a decent battery life (decent, not great at all) but i have serious lags too

i'm waiting for an update, i hope Lg will sort this soon
[LG G Flex 2] erhnam:
Got the answer from LG sweden that its a known problem and they are working on a optimized software. This is coming shortly.

True or not? I dont know.
[LG G Flex 2] spectator02:
Installing a new OTA right now. The first OTA update resolved 90% of the lag issues I had, hopefully this one will take care of the rest...
[LG G Flex 2] scottegos2:
You clearly did not read my post or maybe your translator app is broken. I specifically said that I do NOT have a Flex 2, at least yet. I remarked that changing the Android frequency management policy ("governor") was probably a reasonable thing to try. I still think so, though I doubt it is the ONLY answer to the problems that some people clearly DO experience with "lag", battery, and performance on the device. If you don't have any issues, fantastic; but that doesn't make them less real for other people.
[LG G Flex 2] Arkangel786:
Are you in the UK?
[LG G Flex 2] spectator02:
Even with Tapatalk you should be able to see that I live in Seoul. :) Anyway, it's far too soon to be sure, but today's OTA does indeed seem to have made my phone more responsive.

According to usemon, my phone seems to use the big cores a lot more than before, I bet that helps speed things up. However, it also seems like once they hit their max freq (1958MHz) they stay locked at that frequency until I reboot.

Not sure yet how having 4 cores stuck at 2GHz affects battery life, buuut if I had to guess... :(
[LG G Flex 2] bob2300nx:
Nexus 6 man. IDK how you get your note 4 to lag and overheat? We have the same 805 snapdragon and with stock google the nexus flys! For reference I had pandora streaming to my cars headunit while I played asphalt 8. It kept up great
[LG G Flex 2] faremoney:
can you give us more information? how it goes? what version it is?
[LG G Flex 2] rowihel2012:
my note 4 lags because of the touchwiz crapy launcher

but in games it is super but heat

i tried to flash cm rom the overheat gone but with stock tw rom it heat to 60c without playing games just browsing and facbook
[LG G Flex 2] caysman:
Wow!

I replaced the crappy LG calendar with Google Calendar and also widget , disabled it, and it is now fast!

Will update you guys with more use.
[LG G Flex 2] caysman:
False hope.

It didn't change things a lot.

It's still a slow and phone. The initial burst of good performance was attributed to the calendar widget not taking so long to load. Other things still slow like hell.
[LG G Flex 2] Nyceone:
agreed!

Yeah, once I changed the governor to ondemand I have noticed a quicker phone with less lag. Also changed the window and animation times to .5 which seems to have helped. I recently switched from my samsung galaxy s4 to lg just to try it out. Hey I figured that this phone was future proof with the large expandable memory, 4k video and more. If I don't like it, just get another galaxy at a reduced price in the future:D
[LG G Flex 2] rowihel2012:
what do you think i wanna replace my note 4 with one of lg g flex 2 or nexus 6 what is better and faster?and wich screen is better?
[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
Flex 2 screen would be better but me personally I was waiting for the LG Flex 2 also since I'm able to upgrade but after seeing the issue with the 810 chip and these complaints here on XDA I decided it wasn't worth my upgrade so I bought a brand new nexus 6 from craigslist in my local area for $500 brand new sealed box which was a great deal lol. So I'm actually saving my upgrade for something well worth while maybe later this year Q4 when the 810 chip is optimized much better.
[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
Could anyone of the people,who complain about the "lag like crazy" thing, post a video of this crazy lag? I would really like to see what you are talking about. I've searched YT for such a video but didn't find anything. I think it would be helpful for people, who are on the fence, to see it and decide whether it is something they can live with or a deal breaker.

I've made one myself so you tell me if that's the lag you're talking about.

Flex 2. What lag?
[LG G Flex 2] erhnam:
For you on the fence:)

I love rhe phone. The screen. The camera. The shape.

The lag is the negative thing.

For example is has stopped me from writting this message without backing and correcting due to lag. It lags when browsing. Writing. Fb. Google+.

Im sure it will be fixed. Cant believe this processing power would give this perfomance.

As reference. My earlier phones is nexus 5. Galaxy note 2. Galaxe s2. All of them had a better flow than my g flex 2.
[LG G Flex 2] neovalkyr:
I just got my new flex 2 and I was wondering what exactly you guys were doing when you factory rest your phones. Is this the factory rest that's in the settings menu? Or a hard factory rest? Thx. Lag is noticeable but not that bad so far, Although I haven't really installed anything yet.
[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
Unless you have a different model (Asian, European, whatever) it proves inconsistency in manufacturing. My phone has virtually none of the problems you just described.
[LG G Flex 2] c0rnelone:
Mine lags crazy. Lags texting, browsing, the menus... I love the phone but the performance is horrible.

I'm coming from a Nexus 5
[LG G Flex 2] caysman:
Here's a video... LG G Flex 2 excruciating lag: https://youtu.be/MFo7g3yrR_o
[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
I tried to reproduce what you've been doing.

Too late I've noticed that you're using G+. I thought it was YT app. Now I'm too lazy to upload another video. It should be similar in performance anyway.

VIDEO: Flex 2 lag
[LG G Flex 2] caysman:
Do you live in a very cold country? My ambient is 30C with all that global warming kicking in last couple of years :)

The performance would be very nice for a couple of minutes, until the top of the phone next to the camera lens becomes hot, and then it would start to lag.

Also, once 4G+ kicks in, or WiFI, that chip becomes super hot and it starts to lag.
[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
That must be what makes the difference. My phone doesn't get hot no matter what I do. Ambient temp approx. 24C air conditioned.

All my previous Samsungs were getting much hotter.

Maybe I just got lucky getting a good one.
[LG G Flex 2] neovalkyr:
Yah i must have gotten a good one pretty good battery life on my 3rd charge. At 72% now with 1hr 45 min on screen time so far. I do get bad lag every once in a while though. Phone gets warm but not hot.
[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
I was at the sprint store yesterday paying my bill and decided to play with the Flex 2 and let me say this that I am very very happy I decided to get a nexus 6 (which is my very first nexus device) but omg the flex 2 does have lags crazy lags at that which is very disappointed for the hardware it has.

For the folks that are claiming that they ain't seeing lags, get you a nexus or play with one for couple of hours and go back to using your flex 2 I promise you that you will notice the lag. Even the LG UI launcher software is buggy. I was at T-Mobile today buying a case for my nexus and played with the galaxy S6 edge and it was much smoother then the flex 2 which is ashamed because it's touchwiz but honestly I wouldn't waste a dime on the flex 2 at all.
[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
That's OK. We all have different tastes. I just love the Flex 2 design, the screen is absolutely gorgeous and the fact, that it has the micro SD slot was also a major decision point.

For that, I can put up with some lag here and there.

And I'm pretty sure it'll get fixed sooner or later. ;)
[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
Trust me I was eyeing Flex 2 especially since I was coming from the original Flex, I actually waited for the Flex 2 since it was going to be the first phone with the 810 chip but seeing how horrible it perform I felt it wasn't worth using my upgrade or to be bought out cash so instead I got a great deal on a new sealed nexus 6 for $500 which was obviously a great deal and plus I still save on my upgrade for a worthy phone later on this year but who knows hopefully they do fix the issue with the Flex 2 because it's really a disappointment for the hardware it's packing.
[LG G Flex 2] Thraxzzz:
For me, I always aim to get the latest one which is packed with latest features such as *cough* octa core *cough* 64Bit *cough* anything bad will be Fixed sooner or later. It doesn't render the Flex 2 useless. It's still able to drive as my daily driver
[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
Well like I said I hope they do fix it because all that *cough* 64bit *cough* octa core that's packed in there it's*cough* performing really horrible so let's hope it does get resolved.
[LG G Flex 2] bricky23:
I just don't understand why people who don't have the phone, come in here to say how bad it is. If you don't like it fine, don't get it. But why come here and tell people who do have and like it , that they shouldn't. I don't need someone to tell me what phone to get. I will make up my own mind.
[LG G Flex 2] yellowman82:
Well I wasn't telling anyone not to get it and you can actually see it in my post and obviously this is a topic of lag issue ain't it? Even though I don't have this phone it was on my list and I actually had a chance to play with it at sprint for a few and decided to give my 2 cents about this lag issue in case there was folks lurking and wondering about it.

I have no hate for this device at all only except for it having all the latest specs and still performing horrible in the transition department with crazy lag which is a true and is a fact and me playing with it and putting in my 2 cents about it is not against XDA rules but honestly for anyone that is thinking of getting this device I would wait till they send an update and fix this lag issue before even purchasing it.
[LG G Flex 2] BillyxAllen:
I really can't wait for a custom ROM for this phone to fix everything lg and android has screwed up
[LG G Flex 2] c0rnelone:
I just install 10 D and the phone runs better. I will wait a couple days to give a final feedback. But after restore all apps it seems like another phone :)
[LG G Flex 2] neovalkyr:
Did you get 10D through ota? I just got 10C.

I can confirm with the newest ota 10D the phone runs really smooth

So smooth I disabled 4 cores so im running only quad core ATM :P

Which one did you flash? and what was the software version you had before? v10b-EUR-XX?

Thanks

I confirm that the Spanish version appears as "V10c".

Could I install the version of any language? What is the reason that there are different files with names of countries?

sorry, it's my first LG

[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
I don't know. I used SetCPU to do the same thing but I didn't recognize much difference in performance but the battery goes down much faster (YMMV)

BUT I don't have that big lag problem in the first place.
[LG G Flex 2] Drissouille:
To be honest I wasn't talking about brut performances but just lags that prevents a 'normal utilisation' of the phone.

About the battery life, I hold the day easily with bluetooth on for android wear and the jaybird bluebuds x when I listen some music and LTE always on.
[LG G Flex 2] caysman:
OK I've found the solution to my lagging issue. It's transferring apps from phone to SD card. Even the fastest SD card is slow.

[LG G Flex 2] neovalkyr:
I recently turned of auto-sync, I know it's not ideal but it drastically improved my battery life. My phone easily goes into deep sleep now. If you have Google services eating up a lot of battery I highly recommend it.
[LG G Flex 2] bmoses:
my replacement came in yesterday so i went and got it swapped out. got my backup restored and everything back to normal and then went ahead and applied the ZV5 update and it went through with no issues (obviously since i didn't root this one :) ) this update makes a huge difference with the lag issues! its not 100% lag free but its at least 95% better than it was before!

LG really screwed up with this phone, between the QA issues with bad screens and some devices overheating (my very first one got burning hot) and the lag issues this phones reputation is now damaged. If they had released this phone with the ZV5 update out of the gate reviews and user experience would have been much different. which is kind of sad because the phone is really great, the screen is awesome, the camera is amazing, and now with the ZV5 update performance is great!

with this one i will definitely be waiting to root until a proper way to fully unroot is available ;)
[LG G Flex 2] erhnam:
Any news on when the 5.1 is coming?
[LG G Flex 2] Kidsnd274:
Is there any way to further increase performance on this phone, like some apps or tweaks? I am already rooted with the latest LG updated which hugely increased performance, but looking at the S6 just makes me feel regretful.
[LG G Flex 2] jodeelee:
I found chrome really hangs the phone. I've switched off nuplayer in developer settings and it's much better.
[LG G Flex 2] FinDesire:
Hi.

Why is the Flex2 laggy .

Because of Snapdragon 810 chip.

Check Androidauthority sites.

I had G3. It had the same problem. Overheating.

G2 and G Pro 2 did not have this problem. They were snappier and both had good battery life also.

OK...

So I did the same tests for my new Flex2 that I did for my old G3 earlier.

Run the Antutu at normal environment.

Score 45000

Put the phone to freezer for 10 minutes and run the same test.

Score 59000

The phone is not laggy until it gets hot and the thermal throttling reduces the cpu frequencys.

G3 with the early firmwares rebooted constantly because of overheat.

After updates there was no reboots but the phone was lagging even more because of more strict thermal throttling settings.

LG has Limited the snapdragon 810 max frequency 2000MHz to max 1500MHz

and after one minute use the thermal throtling kics in reducing it even more

So it is a hardware peoblem.

It can be solved only by reducing frequencys which they already did by limiting the max 2000MHz to only 1500MHz

Nice phone with G3 problems.

Sorry guys.
[LG G Flex 2] maktub19:
This is nonsense!
[LG G Flex 2] FinDesire:
Sorry my bad english.

I was saying that LG has already limited the max frequency by 500mhz and even that is not enough to keep this phone cold..

The only way to solve this overheating problem is to reduce the frequency even more.
[LG G Flex 2] D4rk_nVidia:
The phone is laggy because the system is not optimized!

Look at the M9, same chip but its one of the fastest phones.

LG should optimize more and that should solve the problem.

Maybe reducing vcore is a possible solution.

I had 2 G flex 2 and the third one is on the way. I should get an New Device and hopefully without an Display problem because I Like this phone.

Both had an Display Problem but with 10b the phone didint overheat.

When i play with my Note 3, its Maybe a bit cooler but nothing big.
[LG G Flex 2] FinDesire:
Optimising will improve the situation for sure.

But if you google m9 heat or snapdragon 810 overheat you will get the point.

Why running antutu few times in a row you get worse result every time ?

And why running antutu in the fridge you get amazing results ?

---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

And to correct myself the snapdragon 810 seems to have 4 cores at 1500mhz and other 4 cores at 2000 mhz.

So it is running at full speed.
[LG G Flex 2] robdevil:
This phone should be named G Lag. Going back to my M8
[LG G Flex 2] maktub19:
You obviously use another phone! I see no lag!
