Scrolling smoothness - Sony Xperia XZ1 Real Life Review

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Sony Xperia XZ1 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Butter

i have some lags when scrolling web.
i have a glass protector so is it the problem ?

Fast and smooth.

So my black one didn't exhibit an issue as far as I could tell. My silver one though on the other hand has an issue.

It's not lags, its like random ghost touches. So the phone thinks it was touched and it hops into whatever.

So I am testing the last Android version to see if that is what it is. I put the latest update on my silver one as soon as I got it but my black one had .145 on it and I did not see the issue. I will report back once I use .145 on the silver.

Ok seems like .145 is much better than .179 in this respect. The weird thing is that on .179 it has problems. It seems to be slow to react at first. It's like it sticks for a second and then it thinks that it was just a tap instead of a glide. Might be the kernel or might be the rom. Who knows? I guess it could be my device too.

Exact like my problem.
I guess it is software issue and will be fix soon

Yeah I'm just curious if anyone with other models have seen the issue on the new firmware or not. I never ran the new firmware on my black on before I returned it for the silver, so I can't say.

I have a silver XZ1, with the newest firmware, and have the same problem. It had this issue on the old firmware too. Sometimes when trying to scroll the phone registers a tap instead of a swipe. It is super annoying but it only happens once every 10 minutes on average.
It would be interesting to see if it also happens using a custom kernel / rom

I am using stock ROM with custom kernel, and it still happen.
Did you experience any random lag or UI's FPS drop?

Interesting it seems to be only for the silver. Can someone with another model chime in? Maybe Ill switch to the blue or black and see.
I didn't see the issue with my black one but I switched to the silver cause I thought black was boring. Maybe I need blue then.

I got my green Xperia in October 2017, and loved it. Now, the battery lasts about 3/4 as long even though I have absolutely babied it. Never charged it in a car. Always used Sony's Smart Charge. Still pitiful longevity. Also, during the 50% power saver mode, it's unusable. Keyboard has. to. be. typed. so. slowly. If I use the software home/back/switch buttons then it is guaranted to get stuck in the Google Now assistant and not let me use my phone. Exit power saving mode, works like new. It didn't initally cripple my phone this much. Must be from installing 20 apps and having used 25/32GB onboard space.

[Q] Latest ICS build (JC) and sound

Although the latest build seems to be much improved, and I haven't seen any complaints so far, I am still getting audio dropouts on occasion. I have noticed a connection between the dropouts and browser usage. It seems as though the browser is hogging the CPU at times on some pages and the sound goes crazy then silent until the page loads. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it just my installation? It seems to be somewhat random and happens with both the stock and Dolphin browsers.
Not a complaint by any means, just curious. Maybe a setting I am overlooking?
I have not seen that issue with mine ,that I have noticed anyway I did have a SOD yesterday morning on current rom let's hope he post the newest rom with video soon and this will be stable enough for daily use
Is anyone having problems with lagginess? Mainly opening the app drawer?
I don't so much get the SOD as I do an occasional mini-SOD... screen will go black on wake up and then take a longer time than usual to wake up.
I wonder if the lagginess is due to the ROM not being optimized yet or if it's related to using Trebuchet as the launcher.
Eh. time will tell. I can always go back to cm7 for now
did have lag as you say, my memory was quite full, so i deleted all backup roms from twrp and its faster. (backed up backups on pc first).
has the rotation issue been sorted?. sorry to ask but i followed the thread from the start and apart from the slowing down by jackpot i havnt heard a thing about it for ages.
---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------
audio seems perfect on mine. no drop outs yet
My only complaint and not really one is that I get this little random pop up box with something written on it every now and then on build date 1/19 it goes away super fast so I can't read it and doesent seem to do anything so not a problem just a complaint. But I have had 0% lag unless I have a lot of apps open which is understandable lag.

I have not noticed the pop up box yet. I would say it would be a memory issue with you lag that you are seeing and remember its alpha right now it will get faster and tuned like a fine machine in due time
Newer build out now, will take it on latest drive.
It does have the markings of weak memory management. I have had the occasional random reboot here and there as well. I don't expect it to change with this latest build as I don't think it has been focused on. With time it will improve.

Poll: Does your OnePlus One experience ghost touches

I just wanted to get a poll going regarding "ghost touches" on CM11s 33r release. When I first updated to 33r, the touch screen was great and it seemed like the firmware update fixed the issue. However, after using my device, the touch panel once again became stubborn and the "ghost touches" appeared once again.
This issue reminds me of the 2013 Nexus 7 which to this day still hasn't been resolved. It is weird how the phone will work fine and then all of a sudden become unresponsive. I notice this especially when typing, sometimes the keyboard will show a swipe gesture even though I am physically typing.
nope, never had this problem.
I had this problem 1-2 times in a month of usage. Not a great issue but it definitely existed. With 33r i experienced no more ghost touches, just some occasional touchscreen freeze (unlocking phone was impossible until the system reboot).
Issues that are making me angry are others: touchscreen responsivity and precision, for example. Typing with my 1+1 is a total pain.
working smooth & fast no problems...
had ghost swipes ever since I got CM11S and had it for every update. Didn't really get better each time.
was on stock kernal now with ak, just a BIT better but still experience it every 6-7 words.
Hope they completely fix this soon.
Never had ghost touches on stock rom
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
I had ghosting everywhere
I am so far surprised on the results. I have two friends with the opo and both of them also have the touch screen issue. Is there any info we can compare to see if there is a different touchpanel used for those who are experiencing the problem vs those who are not?
For sure. Mine still have. For me the biggest problem is the poor latency performance, the worst that i experience. Coming from a HTC one, M7. Running nightlies actually.
Have ghost touches since update to 33R, never before. Is this sw or hw related?
Especially when typing moderately fast, the screen does not seem to be able to distinguish between two touches. It kind of "swallows" the symbols I have pressed on the keyboard resulting in a disastrous typing experience. Before I had a Nexus 5 and it that respect it was definitely more precise (and sensitive) to touches. Typing without any hiccups. Just the way it should be.
Also sometimes my opo, while surfing through websites; when I try to touch a small hyperlink, it doesn't seem to recognize the interaction. I have to touch the link several times to get the screen to recognize it.
This, paired with the typing issues makes using the opo awfully complicated touch-wise. I have to artificially slow down my typing speed to lessen the erratic behaviour of the screen. A no go in my opinion and I am thinking about returning my opo and insist on a refund for the stated reasons.
This is a major problem and OnePlus better get their asses up, admit the faults and solve the problems.

Same here. I love this one plus one, but the typing issue is a huge problem for me. If they don't fix it I'll have to jump ship when I can get something new.

Agree. It's a love-hate relationship; the specs and furthermore the price-performance ratio are absolutely great but that one issue really keeps me off staying with the opo.
I will wait a bit and see how well the problem-analysis goes. Considering how the alleged touchscreen driver fix didn't fix anything at all (at least for me) makes me seriously doubt that there will be a final fix for this issue, ever.
no typing issues or lag its way faster than note3 on par with nexus 7 if not slightly smoother in total experience. since i got used to sony's xperia keyboard i'm using the kk emoji keyboard from playstore on ONO which is faster.
I used to have them all the time, to the point I couldn't get pass the lock screen.
I even though of doing an RMA, while hesitating. I decided to do a full wipe and install crdroid ( i knew the developer had them to and was trying to fix them ) now it's a thing from the past I never get them anymore.
I'm not saying crdroid is miracle fix, I'm just stating what happened to me.
If your rooted and occasionally flash ROMs it may be worth a try.
Also a friend of mine just received his today. If he has ghost touches will try crdroid again and if it works will report here.
Nope, nemas problems on my phone.
Had it for the first time couple of days ago. After rebooting the device, everything went normal.

After initial flashing I had the ghost touch issues but after a few days they went away...my 2013 Nexus 7 does the same thing and it pisses me off cause I'm rebooting the thing every couple of days to fix it.
Having some touch issues, 33r update, i don't know how toy call them ghost touch it whatever it's very annoying when i try to pull notification bar it pulls back down, and i get more typos thought it was me typing bad =)
---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------
Well probably my issue is touchscreen latency, anyway that is not a catastrophic, they will fix it, so brace yourselves update is on the way [emoji6]
Previously i have no ghost touch at all.. But suddenly, i got ghost touch after the update.. I dun know why man.
Any1 suffering this issue ?

Not Impressed...

From the 2 hours so far with my S8+ (Had to get it for temp until my UK variant comes in).
I am using the ATT variant and am hoping my Exynos version will not lag as bad as this damn thing. My Axon 7 with stock rom just rooted ran circles around this thing.
Pull the notification menu down = dropped frames
Scroll apps drawer = dropped frames
Animation and Transition effects at 1x = Choppy dropped frames
Everyone keeps saying it's a myth that Samsung's software is not bloated and slow anymore like TW days but I am not impressed this far.
I'm torn because this phone is really beautiful hardware with just slow software.
*Edit* looks like this almost non existent on the Exynos variant so I'm pleased now.

You must be very unlucky because I have zero lag. Been using it for over a week and have not experienced any lag in any of the 130+ apps i've installed.
You might have some faulty version of the phone.
Wish you better luck with your Exynos version

The fact it's been present on Best Buy display models, T-Mobiles display and this phone I doubt that. It seems to happen more when running in WQHD for what it's worth. I have disabled a **** ton of bloat with package disabler and it's still not as smooth as the Axon 7 was not my 6s+.

The phone is not a *lag fest* it just drops frames and it's noticeable to the naked eye. For instance pull the notifications menu down to your quick shortcuts and collapse the entire menu back to the home screen, you can notice frame drops for that 1 sec function. It's not as fluid as the expansion itself.
Screen transitions such as the fade out to home I see it ever so slightly. It's not laggy as in the cpu/ram is over worked it's just a bloated launcher and possibly ****ty/suboptimal cpu/gpu scheduler.
The only reason I notice this specifically as it's what originally drove me from Samsung years ago. Well that and the locked bootloaders.
We shall see if it's as noticeable with the Exynos variant when it ships out this week.
Lag? My rippin lightening fast! Had all the other tech guys at my job also blown away with its speed and fluidity. Blows away Apple too.

I don't know ,Dude

No lag here either. But I know what you're talking about. I've seen it happen in review videos. I was pretty worried about it.
Maybe try a factory reset?

I've been pulling down notification all day because messages are coming in and don't see frame drops....do I need glasses?...im trying to replicate your problem but I cant....
The only lag I see is when exiting apps , The animation pauses for a split 2nd and then goes away . I think it's a touch wiz launcher thing because when I use Nova launcher I get no lag at all
One thing I wish touch wiz would stop doing when opening a folder on your home page don't take up the entire screen To access the apps inside the folder .
Fastest phone I've had, no lag here or anything like that here

To me it's like going from 60fps to 30fps. I just can see the frame drops. I'll try to record it via slow motion when my wife gets home.

Scrolling stutter / jitter /lag?

I saw a review on YouTube in which the reviewer mentions that OP5 has some kind of jitter when scrolling compared to the other Snapdragon 835 powered phone, in this case, the HTC U11. I searched the OP3/3T forums and saw that it is an old problem.
Do you happen to notice something familiar on your OP5 when scrolling thru different apps?

Yes it does and to be honest it's annoying, sometimes it's like a shaking jello effect when scrolling and sometimes there's awful jerkiness and stuttering when scrolling through certain web pages in chrome, have to say this should not happen out the box, i hope the scrolling issue gets resolved or I'm sending mine back.
Got the same, sadly. Hope something can be done about it. The hardware is awesome, but the stuttering is very annoying. I'd expect the experience to be smoother... :-\

It's like the refresh rate is set at 45fps for eg instead of 60fps like a flagship should be, there's a jelly shaking effect everywhere you scroll but some apps chrome for eg sometimes hitches and stutters, not acceptable for this kind of hardware tbh.
I've not had an android phone that hasn't stuttered to some extent in Chrome.
I can say though that mine has improved over the day or so since I've had the phone and currently is very smooth.
Does anyone have an example of a website that is more prone to lag? I'll try it out.

Forcing gpu rendering didn't work for me still the same, open the app drawer and scroll up and down fairly fast you'll see a shimmering effect, also even scrolling up and down in these forums sometimes when the square adverts pop it's stutters like ****, it reminds me of having vsync disabled on my pc that kind off effect, it's like OP have disabled vsync because with it enabled it stuttering even worse like it can't keep up to 60fps, which i find really strange with this kind of hardware, it needs to get sorted fairly quickly, it doesn't do this on my huawei mate 9 or my Nexus 6p, also there's touch latency issues, remember hearing carl pei going on about it in the launch on tuesday, saying they've improved latency when in fact they haven't, if you scroll up and down fast sometimes it's not picking up your touches and skips and just scrolls the last way it detected, I'm very suspicious they new about this problem when they were on about touch latency in the launch.

I have no scroll latency or lag on my phone. Everything is buttery smooth. I didn't change any settings.
I used the oneplus 3t for a while and initially I thought the phone was fast and lag free. However I always used to have a strange feeling that all wasn't as great as it seemed. I use talon for twitter a lot and with the oneplus 3t it was hit and miss at times it would be smooth when scrawling and other times it would lag and stutter. I kinda blamed the app and even sent a few messages to the developer of the app (he never replied lol). I decided to move back to my note 7 (yes it's a fire hog but I love it lol),and well well it was way smother and lag free than the 3t. Am sure you can eventually tweak the oneplus do to what you want and improve lags etc but I just never had the time. Saying that I will keep an eye on this thread as I intend to buy it.
Cant say much about the lag since I havent got my phone yet, but could somebody give an idea of me a try? If I remember correctly, there used to be some accessability settings in Android, some installed Apps where enabled there by default and caused jitter/lag for me, back on my Nexus 5. Can someone test if this could be the cause? (if this setting still exists, no Idea on what Android version this happened to me) - Either way, im scared now that I wont be to happy with the device, lets hope there will be a fix soon.

Yes!!! You see it to. I posted this on Reddit. Everyone check this bull**** out:
Noticed this as soon as I setup the phone. I don't think I've ever seen an AMOLED panel do this. It's almost like it's refreshing each line of pixels too slowly/unevenly during a single frame?
Here's an album of images and video captured from 240 FPS video. View them one after another. The screen refreshes by starting in the bottom left corner and finishes the frame in the top right corner... the icons and text on each line of apps goes out of alignment as I scroll.
Text and elements on the screen stretches out when scrolling down, and smushes together when scrolling up. Straight lines look wavy when scrolling left or right as well!

Can someone test if this could be the cause? (if this setting still exists, no Idea on what Android version this happened to me) - Either way, im scared now that I wont be to happy with the device, lets hope there will be a fix soon.

So you won`t be happy with your phone because someone else seems to have a problem with his/hers?

Thats not what I said?
E: Rewritten for more clarity:
I said, that Im scared of (might) not beeing happy with it(, if some kind of annoying lag or stutter appears)

I've not had an android phone that hasn't stuttered to some extent in Chrome.
I can say though that mine has improved over the day or so since I've had the phone and currently is very smooth.
Does anyone have an example of a website that is more prone to lag? I'll try it out.

Yes!!! You see it to. I posted this on Reddit. Everyone check this bull**** out:
Noticed this as soon as I setup the phone. I don't think I've ever seen an AMOLED panel do this. It's almost like it's refreshing each line of pixels too slowly/unevenly during a single frame?
Here's an album of images and video captured from 240 FPS video. View them one after another. The screen refreshes by starting in the bottom left corner and finishes the frame in the top right corner... the icons and text on each line of apps goes out of alignment as I scroll.
Text and elements on the screen stretches out when scrolling down, and smushes together when scrolling up. Straight lines look wavy when scrolling left or right as well!

Yes i see it, it's not just me, it's like a it's scrolling under water! The people that can't see it are stubborn to it or don't have the eyesight, it's awful, never seen this problem on any screen in the last 4 years or so, as much as i love the phone i can't put up with one of the main features which you need to navigate your phone, it's shimmering like burning sausage, imo crap.

I have no scroll latency or lag on my phone. Everything is buttery smooth. I didn't change any settings.

You must have a golden sample then, one thing is for sure it is NOT buttery smooth, the only place this phone is smooth to my eyes is when side scrolling left and right, the rest is a mess to blunt, there's a guy who did a YouTube vid showing the problem...
Here's another quote from someone in the one plus forums with the same issue.
"Some outlets have reported on a "jello effect" on the OnePlus 5 when scrolling through apps, and I have noticed this myself as well. Right now I just noticed that in horizontally scrolling apps (Snapchat in my case) I get a rolling shutter effect, where the bottom of the screen updates the image faster than the top, amplifying this jello effect. V-Sync of course makes display response time slower, but also ensures that the image never gets cut In half. Can anyone else comment on this? I will try to get it on video whenever I'm home from Copenhagen. It can be quite noticable when you know it and think about it" if vsync has been disabled because they have installed a slow touch response screen or something mines going back.
Ok, I see it too. It's very subtle but there is a stretching compression going on when stopping scrolling.
Doesn't bother me in the slightest but here it is in slow-mo. Most obvious on the final scroll-down at the end of the video.

mine is butter
Mine is too. In fact if I showed you it in person, I don't think you'd see it. It's that subtle and I think you really have to look for it.
Can you see it in the video? It's not the jitter as that is just the result of slowing a video down from 240fps. It's a slight wave as it stops.
If anyone is reading these threads and thinks there's a problem with the OP5 - there's not. We all have the same phones here and some people can't even see the effect that is being described.

I did notice it right away. But I was in an impression that it's an animation. Various ROMs lets you set your render animation. Isnt this just it?
We were saying that too here but it's also present on Chrome.

I tried multiple apps included and I couldn't duplicate that scroll lag. I saw the video and mine definitely doesn't do that.

Frame Drops like hell

Can anyone please report if they are seeing lots of crazy frame drops on this phone? I'm running rooted Xxx No Limits, but have observed the same on Elemental OS too. When you turn on 'Profile GPU Rendering' in the Developer Settings to 'On screen bars', I see a crazy amount of frame drops every where. I bought this phone because it is suppose to offer the best smoothness and performance rivaling only the Pixel, specially after the fantastic 3T. Attached are some images showing the frame drops on even mundane tasks like scrolling Settings menu. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
I use Action Launcher, but can anyone report if they see this on their stock launcher or other launchers?
PS: The phone 'seems' smooth and fast when doing these tasks. It doesn't seem to slow down and drop frames like crazy like an S8 or G6, which can be seen with the naked eye. It's only when I turn on GPU profiling that I can detect these frame drops. Is the GPU profiling reporting 'broken' and incorrectly reporting lots of frame drops? I'm confused.
Hey, I just checked and I got the exact same results, maybe even a bit more drops than you do. I'm using the stock launcher. Phone is absolutely smooth aside from that. I'm not sure, but this may be in correspondence with the jelly-scrolling issue? I'm not sure if I'm affected though, if yes, the jelly effect is minimal.
Are you affected by the jelly scrolling?

I don't see the jelly scrolling effect on my phone. I'm not sure if this frame drop issue and the jelly scrolling effect are related. Its interesting to know that you see a lot more frame drops in the rendering.
i agreed with you, for this phone having the latest 835 which is suppose to give a straight line of performance (no frame drops) yet i see a lot of those
what the hell is going on with this phone ...
i dont know if its the phone or the softwere but im so returning, the only reason i bought was because of the 835 and because its was the latest and will give you continues performance, its all a lie
Probably because the screen is upside down!

100%
Just tested on a Galaxy S8 and that graph looks even worst!!!!
What's happening?!?! Snap 835 is the culprit?
But I've seen a review with the HTC U11 and it doesn't do this.
Yeah mine is far from smooth as well, dunno,it just does not scroll smooth, my Nexus 5 on MIUI is soooo much smoother, way less frame drops.. I suppose theissue will vanish with the right ROM / Optmization, perhaps changing to a different CPU governor could help already..
Is this really a big deal if you can't see it until you run this log that shows you its happening?

People are like: "I didn't know I had a problem until I ran this app now I'm like O..M..G!". These people can't be for real. They should try standing on there heads, looking in a mirror, with the phone upside down.. see how it scores.

Its like the Jelly scrolling thing. I bet 85% of the people *****ing about it haven't even held a OP5. I watched those videos and then paid close attention to my 6P, guess what? It does the same damn thing!
About the only real issues I have seen are the WiFi and autobrightness issues, and camera performance. The WiFi seems to have been fixed and the camera could and most likely will be improved... I hope.
And from what I have seen out of the camera isn't bad, but it is very average for a phone bought 2 years ago. I just believe the hardware is much more capable of better results.

I'm right there with you brother.. The auto brightness has been a "real" issue for me. I have not had the jelly thing but then again I didn't go looking for it. The camera? Well I took what I though were some really nice looking photos over the 4th.

Thank god I am not the only one, reading through some of the threads I am starting to feel like I am the crazy here. People are like "The phone is smooth but this tool is showing frame drops, **** Oneplus, I am returning this phone."
So they will return a 500€ flagship which runs smooth and they dont notice lags without a tool? They expect that the CPU is the cause of frame drops?
Seriously, this must be a joke. Its just looking for a problem when you dont have one.
I do notice the jelly scrolling, but its minimal, so its kinda cool, like a subtle animation.
Camera could be better but nobody can say its bad, they just overhyped it and didn't meet expectation.
Battery life is like out of this world, I got 8h of SoT, good luck on other phones with that.
No other issues were encountered in the meantime. Perfect phone.
I get drops with the launcher, inc app drawer but it's not significant. I'm currently using a custom kernel as well.
Here's Chrome:

The screenshot you have posted doesn't show any frame drops. Can you let e know what kernel you are using?
Here are my rom and kernel details. No governor settings changes etc, I'm just using the kernel out-the-box.
