Hey,
I replaced my iPhone SE with Huawei Nova 3 and I am experiencing a little bit laggy UI. Especially in third party apps like messenger and Instagram. When new message comes and I click on the messenger popup(circle which is always on top) then animations are shuttering and are a bit laggy. The same happens in Instagram apps when looking at the stories, then doing gesture to leave stories (slide down) and then u see these shuttering animations. Is anyone experiencing similar issues? Maybe it is android issue, but I am just not used to these kind of lags on iOS.
You will hardly see lags from iOS unless it's a badly coded app or it's run out of memory. I've experience this on the Nova 3i and I just replaced the launcher with Nova Launcher (fitting names) to reduce the lags. Especially when opening apps and transitions. Also disable any apps to launch on their own after a reboot helps sometimes.

It helped a little bit but still. Instagram just behaves weird, still the same problem occurs. I think android apps are just not yet optimized for this weird resolution, because when launching app for the first time, I see in ca half of the apps that they are somehow resizing themselves too match the required resolution (and that is also when some resizing/shuttering is encountered).

On my device there's an option to disable full screen per app. But on my device IG supports full screen. I do notice fb, fm, IG, flipboard lags when scrolling especially when there are posts with videos. And especially with videos that autoplay. I notice the same lags on my iPad pro 12.9" also. I always disable autoplay on the apps.

I'm planning to buy the Motorola DEFY. I was able to try out a demo piece for some time at a store .... It seems to have a vertical scrolling screen with icons as well as a set of horizontal scrolling home screens with icons. While the horizontal scrolling seems snappy, the vertical scrolling seems a bit laggy. As I install more apps, will the vertical scroll lag increase further. What's the point of having both those screens anyways ? Most phones just one horizontal scrolling ?
Horizontal is similar to your desktop. You put shortcut of apps or widgets based on your preferences. The vertical is the one where all apps are located. This is where you get the apps you want to put in the horizontal for easy access. lag can be reduced depending on the number of apps and settings

Hi!
The lag is, I believe, for the caching of icons. Because, once icons are cached (meaning you have been through all icons in the vertical main menu) try scrolling and it will be buttery smooth! Ofcourse, the more the apps, the more time it takes to get the icons cached, so more lag. But what I have noticed is that even though the main menu has been cached, the lag appears unpredictably. I suggest launching apps frm search since its faster.

As mentioned, the more apps you add, the slower it may get.
But maybe the android version (eclair, froyo, gingerbread?) on the phone you used wasn't too much up to date, or some laggy application was running, these could have affected the performance of the phone.
I use LauncherPro on my Defy (gingerbread CM7) and it has the option to hide (unused, unwanted) apps on the app drawer, which also increases speed.
Aside from the major issues that some (But certainly not all) people have been having with corruption/screen flicker there are still quite a number of minor issues that could do with a bit of work.
Live wallpaper bug w/ Rosie
Certain games that should not lag end up lagging (Despite CPU usage being quite low throughout). A good example of this is stair dismount. Shadowgun THD on the other hand runs smooth as butter. Obviously, a driver update is necessary.
Although very infrequent, the interface stutters from time to time. HTC need to fix 2D hardware rendering.
HTC Gestures causes far too many issues. It needs to be fixed, not just disabled.
Camera framerates can dip even in good lighting conditions. HTC needs to either up the bitrate or find some other way of increasing framerate. The phone and sensor are certainly capable of it.
The stock android widgets are incredibly laggy and don't update properly (The GMail widget in particular). The Sense mail widget is fine so it's certainly not for lack of performance.
If anyone else has any issues (EXCEPT FOR SCREEN FLICKERING as that doesn't affect everyone) could you please add to that list so we can send it to HTC?
I know this has been said in many threads. But the laggy scrolling between homescreens is driving me nuts. Its not bad unless you have a lot of widgets. This is even using HTCs wigets.
Download Apex and add as many wigets as you want. Smooth as butter. So the phone is more than capable of handling this.
Also - When using live wallpapers the animations stop for a sec when swiping between homescreens. This also should not happen. It also works flawlessly on apex.
I wish they would fix the unresponsive screen issue. Can't tell you how many times over the last few days I've nearly thrown the damn phone up a wall while trying to play a game and the screen has stopped registering 1 or all touches
Have you turned off HTC Gestures? I had the exact same problem until I turned it off.
-Double push headset button to skip song
-Bluetooth Audio lags
-Option to change multitask button en disable on-screen menu button
-MUCH better performance
-MUCH better power management
-Browser lags!
-Camera sensor is véry high-end, so somehow it must be the software that makes the picture look worse than my old SGS II camera. (both on default setting)
Please HTC don't dissappoint us, the hardware is perfect so don't screw up the software
Hi everyone, I would like to know if we can come together to a conclusion of why the gallery app is so laggy! Its very striking that the gallery has serious problems while swiping through pictures or pitch to zoom, while in the Google+ app or the screenshots in the market the transitions are really smooth.
Any suggestion of why this is the case? Bad programming?
What gallery app are you guys using? I've tried quickpick but I don't like it either.
Gallery lag
I've noticed the lag too. The size of the photo doesn't matter. It lags even with small images.
I've found 3 more causes for lag:
1) The glow of the soft keys. If you have a custom rom and disable the glow of the buttons, the Home screen transitions when pressing a softkey will become smooth.
2) If you are in the Play Store and you are browsing an app with a long name (like PVSTAR+ (YouTube Music Player)) the scrolling would become stuttery.
3) System messages. If you get a system message (like "..." has been granted Superuser permission) everything would start to lag while the message lasts.
Those are really small things and I hope Google would fix them in a future update.
Anyone else seem like touchscreen sensitivity on P6 i a bit laggy ? But to understand by what i mean with laggy you must have had a snappy phone before that... It's like for example on the app drawer (i use apex launcher), or anywhere that you have to scroll, you move your finger like 1 cm before the screen actually starts scrolling... Any thaughts on this ? And please do not recommend any app from Google Play, i have tried them all and no improvement. Attached screenshots of my homescreen and app drawer. May i mention that all the settings in my phone are optimised or speed, like drom the developer menu animations and all the rest are set to off, in apex launcher all animations are off, gloves mode on/off, nothing works

There is something wrong with the GPU drivers I believe, our gpu doesn't only suck at 3D but it sucks horribly at 2D also (even SGS2 has better 2D performance). For example a very simple process for the GPU to render: try pulling down the notification bar - it just feels sluggish and not snappy at all on the P6 compared to even the SGS2. Vivante is horrible and Huawei has to do something about it (either release the drive sourcecodes or improve the GPU ALOT.
Tempted to buy a g7 play, but notification icons are important to me, so is there any room at the top for notification icons?
Also what is the memory management like with 2gb?

Yes there's room for notifications but when there's a lot you will only see one then a dot which means there's a few and ram management is great for a 2gb ram all depends which apps you have running I have all the stock Google that come installed Reddit Twitter XDA WhatsApp Spotify and Netflix and 3 emulators and it doesn't bog down or lag only tweaks I've made is reduce animations to 0.5.
Brilliant Ty for that, sounds great.
I also like to see all notifications at the top bar, so I disable the notch in developer options (Display cutout > Hide). With this option, the area where the camera and the speaker are between is not used anymore, and the notification bar starts just below it, using all the screen width as any other phone. I don't even see it as a "waste of screeen area" because they are just two small areas which are annoying to reach for notifications, and when watching videos or using a fullscreen app in landscape mode it looks like the speaker and the front camera are invading the screen (ugh). Besides that, many videos don't even have the 19:9 ratio. As you can see, I really don't like the notch, but I'm cool with buying a phone that has it as long as I can "cut it out" of my way
Regarding RAM usage: firstly, I'd like to remember it will only affect multitasking and possibility to play very heavy games (if gaming is your concern, I suggest you look up if a specific game runs or how it performs on 2GB RAM. Processing will hardly be the concern, since it has a decent chipset). I've used several apps at the same "task" switching between them (commonly 3 or 4, but sometimes even more), and none of them restarted. If I'm using chrome with several tabs, at least the last used app won't restart if I switch. And when an app needs to be reloaded, It does so very fast. And I also use the "one button navigation bar", so I rapidly switch back-and-forth between two apps by swiping left on it. I like it a lot
