[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
To preface, I have the S22 Ultra 256Gb (Snapdragon) 12Gb of RAM, running the latest firmware. This is not an Exynos only issue, or an 8Gb RAM only issue, it's an EVERYONE issue.

Opening the link below in a browser doesn't show any lag. You need the

official

Reddit app from the PlayStore to test this unfortunately but it's the perfect example to demonstrate the massive scrolling lag that occurs with some apps.

Large Twitter timelines and some Reddit posts still have very clear scrolling lag, others I am sure notice it elsewhere. If Samsung can resolve this particular issue, I believe the majority of scrolling lag issues people face will also be solved.

From what I can see, many apps use a different rendering method? It's the number of large images that possibly cause the scrolling lag. So, a better method for how the phone loads or renders images is needed to solve this problem with whatever these apps continue to use.

Open this thread below in the OFFICIAL Reddit app and scroll through the main thread at normal scrolling speed, then go back to the top and scroll faster, then test scrolling slowly (the comments under the main thread do not lag).

PLEASE report back if you notice the scrolling lag, and more importantly if someone doesn't notice it with their phone:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Whats the Problem? No lag in browser so the reddit App is unoptomized...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
I literally said that in the post. Do not test using browsers (because they clearly have different levels of optimizations to save power/data, etc that result in images not loading in their highest qualities while scrolling).

Also how is that not a problem if for a few years now (on multiple high-end Android devices) we've had extremely popular apps, not ones made by small time developers, use rendering methods that are both unoptimized on the APP side and clearly on Android side too (since these issues only began around the time of Android 10 and continued to get worse with time and future iterations).

If apps continue to use that subpar rendering methods or not optimize for scrolling fluidity, and these are apps that are amongst the most popular, then perhaps Samsung/ Other Android manufacturers / Google need to start optimizing on their end.

Because at the end of the day, the user experience here is being affected.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Then use it in the Browser and voila good experience. But i can understand you mate... A big forum like reddit should have an optimized app after all this years... They arent new to the game and it should be optimized for Such an big cpu like the 8gen 1 that is in various Devices...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
Same applies for the Twitter app too sadly. In fact, it's worse, as 90% of Reddit threads don't have that many photos to lag. But Twitter depending on who one follows, a timeline could be filled with images and scroll stutter.

For reference, both these apps ran smoother on my Pixel 2 XL with zero lag issues by the way despite loading the same high-quality images during scroll.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Okay then this seems like an Android 12/ snapdragon 8gen1 or s22 Problem thats strange...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vlubosh:
scrolling like i have 10hz mode on s22u(256 exy).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] profi_fahrer:
I can't see any lag with the Reddit App on my Phone (S22U 256GB Exynos)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vlubosh:
Lucky one
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
Images not loading for you, look at the example below, which is how it should look and why the lag is caused. Same applies with Twitter scrolling and when lots of high-res images are in the timeline. It's very smooth when it's mostly text, or low-res images. Then it lags and stutters when high-res images start coming up.

Samsung/Google/Android have to start optimizing for when high-resolution image rendering or how it's done.

Not luck, your one is how it should look, with the high-resolution images. Which is what causes severe scrolling lag.

---

What I want to know more importantly is if there is ANYONE who is loading the official app with the images like the above and not having any lag/stutter.

Maybe people with custom ROMS or kernels can please test and let us know if it's the same for them?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vlubosh:
I think its tíme to say good bye to Samsung family.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
I don't think this is a Samsung exclusive issue. I believe it began with Android 10 and has been getting worse since, not sure why.

I can test tomorrow with my brother's

Oppo Find X2 Pro

.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] profi_fahrer:
Yeah, you're right. I really dont know, why they wouldn't load. Sometimes I can see the preview link, but most of the time, there isn't anything (just the raw text).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vlubosh:
Have tested few phones with a12( latest poco f3 and its smooth as f...)

Samsung cant optimize exy chips
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
If that's true. Samsung really has to fix this horrible experience in apps.

By the way, as I've already stated. This has nothing to do with Exy vs Snapdragon.

I have a Snapdragon model with 256Gb storage and 12Gb ram and it's still happening.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
I have a S22u SD 12/256 model, have never had any scrolling/studdering issues but keep seeing posts about it. I'm curious as to what setting your graphics driver is under Developer Options in setting? Looks like you can change that option for individual applications.

Apologies in advance if this has been already thrashed out...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
I am very curious by this, so please do come back and let us know. No offence taken by the way.

I believe you can login to Reddit as anonymous or use it without creating an account at all. Can you

please

download it from the PlayStore, then come and open the reddit thread in original post at the top and test it scrolling? Check the video by @vlubosh above.

Developer settings on/off do not impact it, animation on/off does not impact it, graphics driver settings under developer setting on/off do not change it. Forcing GPU rendering under developer settings does not impact it. Doing tweaks to the build.prop do not impact it either.

The stutter lag has been there the whole time for me, with every firmware update too.

You could get lucky and in the apps you use you'll never notice it. But given for example Twitter and Reddit are my primary uses with the phone outside my work, then my entire experience, outside of amazing camera, has been horrible with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
I first clicked on your link in the original post above which displayed the reddit web pages and everything scrolled smoothly. Tried it with 120 and then 60 hz refresh and no lag.

I then installed the reddit app and clicked on your link above and was able to get it displayed in the app. Didn't matter if I had 120 or 60hz screen refresh or how I had the setting for the graphics driver set, never had any lag.

Let me know if you have any questions.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
Were the images loaded for you in the app? Like the video by @vlubosh or does it look like the video posted by @profi_fahrer

What firmware are you currently running?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
It loads the images like @vlubosh with the images. Se attachment for version info.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
After doing the test above with both browser and reddit app, it *seems* to me the big difference are the images are loaded with the web page so all is smooth and no lag when displayed. With the reddit app, it *seems* that the images are loaded dynamically as you scroll and the images are needed to be displayed within the reddit application window. If my assumptions are correct, this is an issue of how fast the app can fetch the images over wifi/mobile data. That means this could be an issue of network or server speed (or both). Since I'm using 500mbps up/down my network is very fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
I like your hypothesis, but I have 1Gbps internet. Wonder why you don't have the issue. PS I already factory reset everything and didn't even restore backup in May with the May update to test if it was any settings or background apps that were causing the issue. And even then it wasn't. Even with a fresh install and testing with Processing Speed set to maximum in settings the scroll stuttering was there.

I need more replies to this, because if there are many people that have no issues and many that do, I'm going to have to assume some S22 ULTRAs have a hardware defect and it's not a software issue then.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] alixra:
Mine always givese random lags and stutters but in this it didn't lag at all, very smooth scrolling . I tried twice with official Reddit app.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
Tried all of this, but none helped. June update, as the July update won't be out in Australia probably until end of the month.

I will factory reset after the July patch comes out in Australia and do another full-clean install, despite it being a headache to do it and setup everything from scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mookiexl:
It's an android 12 issue. This topic has been on repeat since 12 went live.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
Tested on an

Oppo Find X2 Pro

and the scroll lag with the reddit thread in OP was there as well. Running Android 11, and then updated it to Android 12, and it actually became a bit smoother. But the scroll lag was still there.

In

both instances

though on that phone, on Android 11 and Android 12, the scroll lag was

less noticeable

than on the S22 Ultra. Same applied for Twitter timeline with a lot of images, scroll lag was present on that phone, and also looked smother than the S22 Ultra.

But nevertheless, this is an Android issue, not exclusive to Samsung, and no exclusive to Android 12.

Not sure if it's present on iPhones, as the last person that was on iPhone in our household also switched to an Android phone last year. So cannot test it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mookiexl:
Apple devices don't experience the scroll lag at all. My oneplus 7pro suffers from zero scroll lag on Android 10 but my poco f2 pro and s22 ultra both on A12 have the micro lags in social apps. Hope they fix this issue soon even though I rarely use social apps outside of Instagram and the lag was fixed in Instagram a few updates ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
Yep, as I said earlier in the post too. My Pixel 2 XL which was on Android 10 using a custom ROM & Kernel literally ran smoother than my S22 Ultra with those 2 apps specifically (reddit and Twitter). Outside of that this phone is amazing, but as I stated earlier, when I do use my phone, these are the two apps I use the most, so my experience with the S22 Ultra has been horrendous. Only reason I am even still keeping it is the amazing camera quality and because this issue seems to be there with all Android phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mookiexl:
I didn't really appreciate the camera until I used it extensively on my vacation in the Smokies. The versatility of the camera set up is hard to match.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Won't be any Exynos chips on s23. Will be Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 worldwide.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Wow... So much bad things about 12. Its one of the wirst Android Version till now in my opinion...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
Tested on an

S20 FE 5G (Snapdragon)

and zero lag/stutters with link in OP. The phone is also running Android 12 with latest update.

So, the theory that it's Android 11 or 12 is out of the window.

S22 Ultra needs optimization and apps need to be optimized too.

For reference, I turned on GPU Watch in developer, monitored the CPU usage, GPU usage and Refresh Rate. When the massive laggy scroll happens the refresh rate is pinned to 120Hz, CPU usage and GPU usage are below 25% too. So, whatever is causing the lag is 100% software related and not even a hardware issue where a bottleneck is being caused.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] oile:
Super lagging on my s22 exy too
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rapier:
Lags on my S22 Ultra 12/512 Exy too...like I have set 10 FPS...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] raul6:
Does it lag if motion smoothness is set to standard instead of adaptive?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lexcyn:
Yes - I have GMH installed and forced the Twitter app to 120hz and still experience the lag.

I am trying to submit a bug report to Twitter but it seems almost impossible. They are trying to tell me to clear app data 🤣

[Edit] If anyone else wants to reply to them and mention it is a widespread problem on Android, feel free:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Baxy87:
Tried both methods. Browser and app. No lag in either. Using exynos 2200 256gb August firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lexcyn:
You know what, for some reason my lag stopped this afternoon. I didn't make any changes to the app or my phone, other than taking my SIM out for the day to use in my work phone (Ugh iPhone). Now it's silky smooth...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rapier:
The lag is regardless of screen motion smoothness setting. And is not only here in that Reddit app, I had it in some other apps like the own Samsung Members app when scrolling and some times also in my settings.

I tried some options from Dev Options (the ones that limits background usage) but with not a visible result. Everything is fine after a restart then, in time, phone starts lagging more and more in all activities from typing (up to the point at which I type faster then the letter pop-up appears), to scrolling in apps or even switching betwen them. Haven't noticed a heating problem so don't think it's throttling.

I had this before on my Note 20 Ultra (also Exynos) after the Android 12 update and it was only solved with a factory reset. Since this S22 Ultra is new (I have it for less than 1 week) and started setting it up from scratch, I didn't do a factory reset on it as I saw no point in doing that.

Still the lag is annoying sometimes and the only solution I found is a restart
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anameeeen:
S22 ultra, SD, 512, August patch.

Browser has no lag, app is laggy. (check attached).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Could this be a CPU boost setting Samsung are using to try and save battery? I really don't know but are they limiting the CPU boost speeds when you touch the screen and scroll to try and keep the battery usage down so the scrolling in certain apps looks more choppy? I remember way back when I used to install custom kernels altering the boost speeds to try and get smoother scrolling. I find the stutter on Twitter etc so annoying on my S22u Exynos that I'm close to ditching this phone. My Zfold3 wasn't nearly as bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
From my testing, no it has nothing to do with CPU boost. As CPU usage never goes above 25% regardless of whether scrolling, with or without touch. Twitter is less laggy/choppy now than it was a couple of months ago, but there is still some scrolling lag remaining.

Also, the choppiness that happens with the original reddit thread I linked in OP is exclusive to WQHD resolution. So, for those who had no lag or choppy behaviour, must have been using FHD. This is likely the reason why the lag is not there with the S20 FE when I tested, but was there with the OPPO Find X2 Pro.

If I was to guess what is causing the issue, it is the rendering method being used in Android.

So, as well as apps needing optimizations from DEVS. Google and Samsung need to experiment with different rendering methods and perhaps GPU driver updates to improve performance & efficiency. Because really, this is pathetic and has made me regret not switching to the iPhone in April when I purchased the S22 Ultra.

I have been using Android phones since 2011 until now, and this is my first time regretting buy an Android phone in over a decade. The more I use the S22 Ultra, the more I hate it and the more I love the camera of it. Basically, the only reason I stuck with it is the camera quality.

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Jaxom84:
Hello everyone,

I got in touch with the people in charge of the OPPO-sources account on GitHub today.

I asked if they were planning on releasing the sources for the Find X3 series, but their answer indicated the other smartphones repositories. I then asked about the pro version and... Coming by the end of next week, it seems.

Things are going to become interesting soon, hopefully. 🤞

Edit : link to the OPPO-source GitHub - https://github.com/oppo-source

I have just installed Flexmail 4 (2008 edition). I have a few questions related to the software and possible hacking. I am new to using this software and I would appreciate if anyone can guide me. Thank you in advance.

1) I have read in the past that flexmail has to be running to receive emails. I have played around with the software but was unable to receive email when the program was closed. Is it possible to have flexmail closed yet still receive emails?

2) I have read about changing HTC Home email icon and directing it to flexmail rather than Tmail. If this is true does flexmail still have to be running to receive emails?

Sorry if these questions have already been answered. I may have missed or misunderstood the resources provided to me on XDA.

Again thanks in advance.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] redbandana:
I was considering posting it under Q&A. However, after my research I thought best to post it in D&A because registry changes may have to be created. In addition, it is possible that another user of flexmail may be inspired to create a similar application.

All in All if mods want to move it they can and I do apologize for posting here if not needed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Yes, FM has to be running to recieve the emails, for all types of servers. Check WebIS website, they have a list of all the reg values and how to create shortcuts.

And, yes this should have been posted in Q&A.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] khaytsus:
1. Minimize. You can't exit it, or no, it doesn't work. :)

2. No idea, but yes, it'd still have to be running.

3. You didn't ask, but Flexmail works rather good. Memory usage is good, battery usage is good, and it's pretty flexible. Only thing I really wish they'd implement is per-mailbox notifications. I really want to know when an email hits a specific mailbox vs "just another email. Someday I guess.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
LOL on #3. I emailed WebIS, and their support isn't that great. It sucks! Makes new local folders useless.

Can anyone help me?

Happened when im flashing to cn rom 12.5.591
[Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2] &(*):
Assuming your region changing a Global (Duel) to CN (Pro); you're applying the erase and load of the partitions in an incorrect order (do not apply after first boot, must be done before nvdata is read). Do not boot the device after QFIL flashing of the CN build; instead right after flash has finished, unplug the usb cable and hold power and volume down buttons to boot into bootloader, from there plug into side port and run fastboot reboot fastboot. Now it will reboot into fastbootd: select recovery, followed by wipe data/factory reset. Now power off device, wait a few seconds, and hold both volume buttons and power to return to edl (flash mode). Plug into side port and now flash the correct partitions through partition manager (modem_a, modem_b, & persist from Global). Once finished, unplug hold power until it boots (15-20 seconds).
