Delay when opening apps - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

So I've had this issue with both my S7 and S8 where whenever I click to open certain apps from my home screen, there's a noticeable delay between when I touch the icon to when the app actually opens.
This most notably happens on the Facebook, any and all internet browsers, the Play Store, and the Google app.
The thing that confuses me is that no one else seems to report this issue, nor have I experienced it on other brand phones.
Has any one else experienced this or have any ideas for a solution?

Glad to hear it's not just me. When I've mentioned if before, everyone just tells me I have a defective phone, which I don't.
At times it feels like Samsung phones are big diesel engine trucks - powerful, sure, but it takes them a while to really get moving.

I'm thinking it's either touch wiz or a common app..because my before i installed my apps on my note 8 it was super smooth

At the moment I have HTC U11(my daily driver) and as soon as I tap the shortcut, the app opens. When I compare it to my S8, I see the difference. I believe it could be Samsung's TouchWiz

Apparently it goes deeper than that because even when I use Nova launcher, the problem is there.
I also wonder if this is a problem that's only on the Snapdragon version, as I never remember my Exynos-powered Note 5 having any issue.

Possible, but U11 is also on the same Snapdragon 835, but I do believe in my case at least, U11 has UFS 2.1, but my S8 has UFS 2.0. I do see the difference when apps get installed or updated. U11 is doing it faster.

I'm not really knowledgeable enough to make these kinds of guesses, but maybe it's like a kernel issue? Because obviously different companies have different results with the same processor, so maybe Samsung just has poor optimization?
Either way, it just feels like a really unnecessary flaw for the phone.

I would have said Yes for some big apps like heavy title games but for the ones you've mentioned(Facebook, Google, Store and etc), those are actually the fastest to open for me similar to system apps' speed.
PS. I'm the type of person to clear all recent apps and turn off the phone like 5 times a day because I'm a little OCD about an apps that might drain the battery. Lol

I only turn my phone off once a week, but I've tried pretty much every combination to see if it fixed the problem. Cleared apps a lot, "locked" the problem apps in memory to see if that helped them load faster, etc.
Nothing really seemed to make a difference.

If you want it to feel "faster'' you can go into developer options and turn off the animations for opening and closing the apps. Its a "fix" but in reality it isnt doing anything different. Its just a Samsung being a Samsung. If you want a phone that opens and does what its suppose to when you touch it get a Pixel

The developer options thing wouldn't work as this delay happens before the animation even starts.
And but yeah, I do have a Pixel 2 XL preordered.

Hmm.. I'm not so sure that these problems is related to Samsung exclusively..
My problems starts few years ago, when I had Nexus 6p.The same problem continued with iPhone 6s plus and 7 plus, then Galaxy S8 plus and now with Note 8.
I was sure that I had and have a problem with my home Wi-Fi (because as you know, WiFi can cause a lag) but when I saw this thread, well I don't know what to think anymore. I'm running out of ideas, definitely.
I've tried everything ,but no luck.
Any idea, potential solution will be very welcome..

This happens to me when my 4g reception or wifi is really not optimal. Always with internet related applications. Games , productivity etc.

What did you do about that?Solution?

I have to confirm this problem. Definitely, those problems are related to WiFi connection, in my case. My phone flying on LTE.

Does anybody has any idea, what caused these problems?

Anyone else noticing lag?

Picked up the Note 3 yesterday and so far I'm loving it, however, there have been a handful of times where the device has lagged or momentarily froze. Not only does it hang, but the app crashes too. This has happened with the built-in Samsung apps.
If I remember correctly, I was bouncing around my home screen and app drawer (TouchWiz). I specifically remember swiping up from the bottom to open Flipboard, it hung, then I got a message stating My Magazine has crashed and stopped..
This is not what I was expecting from my new Note 3 :crying:
EDIT: Also, the screen doesn't come on instantly when I click the lock button. There's usually a slight delay.
yeah i get minor lag every now and then but i find that normal as i have ALOT of apps running... i was haing tw home FC, i think it FCed 3 or 4 times didnt happen again but i still uninstalled it via tibu cuz i am using nova instead... as for the waking lag yeah i get that sometimes as well but not all the time.... some widgets like the clock widget i have on my homscreen/lockscreen take 5-10 secs to load...
PS- btw this question belongs in the Q&A section, not the general section

It all depends on your definition of "lag." There's the occasional stutter or drag working with or within certain apps or combination of apps but for the most part the N3's incredibly fluid. Everyone here uses a different combination of apps with some varying in quality from outdated crap to highly polished. So everyone's experiences are going to be different. That, along with different wireless and sync environments, is why people’s battery stats are all over the place.
I have 131 apps on my device and haven't experienced a FC or any strange behavior and I've been using the phone for almost two weeks.

I know "lag" is a very subjective term, so I'll try to give you a specific example I just experienced:
Browsing in Facebook, I open someone's photostream. I click a photo and nothing happens. I click an album and it highlights, but doesn't open. Click another picture.. nothing. So I lock the screen and unlock it and it works.
This has also happened when browsing through Google Play and trying to download apps. I search, click the app, but it doesn't open. It just highlights the item I clicked.
--
I haven't seen one of the Samsung apps crash on me since yesterday, but then again, I haven't used my phone much today, and I'm using Nova instead of the TouchWiz launcher.
very occasionally touch barely works , only spen works. reboot clears it.
very rarely also I get an app hang or Fc, not even rooted yet. but overall runs like a dream.
I know if this was a custom or ASOP ROM, I wouldnt have those issues.
N900A by the way.

letsgophilly, do you have the octa version?
or the snapdragon 800?
The Snapdragon 800 is super fluid for me.
You might need to wait until Samsung brings the HMP update to the octa variant if you have it.
---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------
PS: the item highlight issue in the PlayStore is a playstore bug and is not "lag".
The fix is clicking another item, going back and reselecting what you originally wanted.
This happens occasionally.

I'm looking in the About Phone section but I don't see anything regarding the CPU. I believe it's the Snapdragon 800. I'm in the United States. Verizon is my carrier.
I'm thinking this "lag" is due to software bugs like you mentioned.

You have the S800 version.
Bugs it is then, Google will have to fix the playstore, also Samsung has to fix that "My Magazine" thing, I mean it runs fast but the first load and the updating is quite slow and buggy.
Other than that, It's fast everywhere I noticed, and it should be with that hardware.

There's no such thing as a "SM-900" or "SM-9005" ROM. Each regional ROM is different and can have different versions of Samsung's own apps and third party apps that are bundled with it. So one region could have force closes out-of-the-box while another doesn't.
I'll give you an example. When the N10.1 came out people were complaining they couldn't import PDFs in to S Note. After researching it, based on region, there were almost a dozen different versions of S Note used in the various ROMs Samsung deployed worldwide. Two of those versions were borked and couldn’t import PDFs. And that was within 90 days of the N10.1's release. So it's very possible that the strange behavior people are reporting could be regional. OP and I both have U.S. versions of the SM-9005 but are on two different carriers. So if he's experiencing the behavior he described after a hard reset it's probably something unique to his carrier's (Verizon) version of the s/w.
Well then, poor exynos buyers, I was tempted to get one for that lone reason, no I don't regret passing it at all and getting the 9005.

Can you confirm a wake lag?
This was an issue on the Note II as well. Even when disabling S-Wake and all that stuff, it still had a delay.
I was always led to believe it was a "feature" of the exynos with the way it handled sleeping. I was hoping that the Qualcomm processor would not have this issue???

I definitely see wake lag. I just clicked my home button and the display turned on almost a full second later.
I have power button lag. Takes a full second after pressing the power button to sleep sometimes. Clearing processes from RAM usually solves this.

I have the snapdragon I am getting FC in Lots of apps. Also getting the occasional unresponsive touch. My note 2 firmly in my wife's hands never hiccuped in the 12 months I used it. Loving the N3 but to be honest the N2 was the best phone I ever owned it's still like new and flies. I remember lots of similar stories with the early N2 having problems. Maybe there are hood and bad ones. The N2 is the first phone I haven't rooted or used a launcher on. Tried, next. Apex. Nova, Themer, and aviate so far on the N3. My brain tells me everything on the N3 is better, but my heart says different. I have had the N3 since launch here in Europe on the 25th so had plenty of time with it. Factory reset I think. Must say the stock video player with good headphones is amazing. Watch a movie streaming last night with surround sound, amazing.

i have had music force close a few times but nothing else. why dont u try a factory reset? i would wipe dalvik cache too but i dont know if u can do it without root.
give the n3 a chance to receive a few updates before you make up your mind. also could be initial hardware that is faulty, the very first note 2 i got had quite a few issues. sold and bought a new one few months later and that one lasted me until n3.
Just as a thought maybe a 4.3 android thing, I know when my old N7 got 4.3 it was not as stable as the previous version, also my note 8.0 and note 2 are fast more stable than my Note 3. Unloaded a load of app today and it seems better, it is fast and I am sure Samsung will issue updates. Be interesting to see how the N2 and S4 deal with version 4.3

If your device lags. Swap it out now.

People, if your device lags in hangouts, while scrolling through menus, or just seems slow go get it swapped. Its not all touchwiz by any means. You have a defective device.
I just swapped mine out tonight and its literally night and day comparing the new one and the one I returned. The device is far more responsive and actually performs as I was originally expecting it to. And believe me I tried everything but then I thought to myself why on earth should I have to fix a brand new top of the line device? It was ridiculous. Unnaceptable actually.
I went back to my Verizon corporate store and they had zero issues with me swapping it out and there were no restocking fees or anything like that.
I know this has been covered in other threads but most of those have been filled with random side posts that aren't getting to the real point. So please, do yourself a favor and go get a replacement note 4 before your 14 days are up!

+1 I agreed with you 100%.
Hmm.. weird. I m getting nasty lag in hangouts and a little hank in other places.. I went to try to exchange right now and every store is out.... I did update hangouts on 4 store phones and they all had the same lag when scrolling and sending messages.
I guess I could call customer service but I bet their sold out. Not convinced so many people have a bad device though. . Wonder if it's some software issue..
hangouts lag is not enough to warrant a replacement though. hangouts has lagged since day 1 for me on every device I've owned except a pure aosp rom or device. it's just how hangouts is. it's poorly optimized for each manufacturers skin. Samsung was typically the worst. then LG. then htc. but yeah, hangouts has been laggy since I had the gs4. my tab s is laggy too. it's a combination for me of swiftkey and hangouts. swiftkey lags awfully in hangouts, but in other apps it's ok.

It was all bad. I don't know if I can relate it to any apps specifically as it seemed like something inherently wrong with the device's software that was loaded. Every app opened slowly. Switching tasks was glitchy and every menu scrolled choppy. It was terrible.

To counter that, the hangouts lag significantly decreased upon swapping devices. You are correct that there was always some lag in hangouts but on the old note 4 I would open the app and watch the spinning circle for up to 3 or 4 seconds at some points. It also put my keyboard to almost a hault. And the messages glitched every time one was sent. I get none of that now which is so relieving. So in my case it was warranted bc all my issues were solved.

It was kind of hard to describe. Honestly it just seemed slow. Didn't react to what I was doing hardly ever. There was always a delay that you could see was not touchwiz related. I had a note 3 that was stock at one point and rooted at another and both those devices were beating my brand new note 4. This for me was enough to at least go back and try a second one.

I think when we are talking about lags, we're talking about everything, not just one specific app. The entire phone is lags, like in settings, home screen, launching apps etc...
Mine only lags when I'm downloading apps while doing other things. If that's considered as a defective device then I can still return it, hoping to get a white one.

Samsung phones always lag when downloading apps. I don't think that will ever go away.

Hey...mine doesnt have any serious lag, as some are mentioming, but it is choppy as hell when scrolling through FB, Instagram, Messenger, Hangouts, etc etc...and web pages are slow loading, even on wifi...i mean, i hated my G3 due to lag, but in these mentioned instanced, it beat the crap out of this. I hate to think i might have made a mistake trading off of the G3
Those with lag issues have you disabled all the bloatware? This was huge for me as soon as I did the device ran smooth. Switched animations to .5 and now we are rocking with no hiccups except I can't update Shealth without it FC launching.
While I think it makes sense, part of "knows" is doesn't make sense. I don't know how a device would be defective and only lags on hangouts. Hangouts lags on my Galaxy S5, Note 4 and G3. Lags on my Tab S 8.4... it doesn't lag on my Original Moto X. I'd love to get my device swapped specially if it is defective but I don't see how it could be the case.
Also, when I first got my phone, hangouts wasn't lagging. I deleted my conversations and it wasn't lagging up until I had a decent amount of messages again...
Installed an older version of hangouts and doesn't lag. I mean, how can this be the phone and not the message?
I think lag on 1 app could be more related to the app itself and not hardware issue. Maybe hangouts isn't optimized to our screen resolution yet...

I was wondering this as well if it was more an issue on the app side rather than the hardware/OS. I have a couple apps/games which just seem to lag horribly but others are stupid fast.
Is there anyway to narrow down defective or just a laggy app?
I only see small lag in hangouts when i search for someone because it looks up also their hangouts chat that is all every other app works fine.
So im good ?

Have you experienced lag?

Do you experience lag when using the phone. I've experienced lag during basic operations like working with emails in Inbox, app drawer, recent apps, quick menu, scrolling nearly anywhere, etc.
The only lag I've seen thats really bad for me is when swiping to close apps.

I've only seen it on the keyboard when I'm texting...seems to work fine in every other app though.
Only very occasionally with the keyboard.

I wonder if it's the phone or just a Google keyboard issue? Definitely not a big deal, but kinda frustrating
I thought I was the only one seeing small keyboard lag lol otherwise everything else is OK.
I am using SwiftKey and the emoji's lag. In the phone app when scrolling through the history - terrible stutter...I mean really bad! Other than those two..which are not that important...the phone is great!
The contacts list in Hangouts is pretty laggy for me but that's the app, not the phone. I'm very happy with my purchase.
No Lag but I have had several crashes/restarts. I'm trying to figure out if I have an app causing me the problem. I'm using Nova Launcher and may try to use the Stock one for a bit to see if that is the cause.
I'm using nova. No issues like that. I've noticed a change since I did a factory reset. You may try that.
Since we are talking about lag and speed in this thread I figured I'd post this comparison between the Pure and the S6. I recommend you take a look, I was surprised at the results. His second time through the test is pretty telling.

What lag.
I get minimal stuttering whole scrolling through screens here and there but really nothing major

Coming from a G4 (lag central), I can't tell any lag. I did have one issue where I apparently had too many running apps/processes at once and the phone froze for a few seconds. I cleared all of my running apps, freeing RAM, and haven't had the issue since.

I've been experiencing stuttering around the device, it's not a big deal however. I think the 808 is struggling with the 1440p display.

This is what I'm seeing. Although my wife's phone seems pretty smooth.......
Since the Google App updated with the vertical scrolling feature, I am not getting much lag anymore.
I Have had the phone since the 16th and have had maybe one or two times when the multitasking screen lags just a little when 1st opened. That's all I have seen in my week of owning the Moto X.

Her: White, Bamboo
Is everyone that's not experiencing lag using the 64gb version?

Lag Nexus 6p

Have you experienced lag in Nexus 6p?
Mine mostly lags in developer setting for example when I toggle sRGB it lags a little and when I open the developer setting after restart. Also when I was restoring my apps in play store I tried to cancel one of the apps and it said google play is not responsive.
There will be certain services that are going to lag for everyone, most of the time its when processes happen that are allowed to utilize all processing power. Such as installing apps.
For me it doesn't lag for anything beside developer options. It might be a software issue that gets fixed with an update. Other than that, it's been the fastest Android device I've owned so far.

This is the fastest android I've owned too, but I came from Samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which is 3 years old and it is touchWiz. Most of the times the only thing that lags is developer options and rarely it lags in the play store. Hopefully they will fix the issues in a software update.
I haven't had any lag whatsoever on my 6P, although my Nexus 9 suffers from terrible lag, which is very annoying since the lag on my original Nexus 7 was the whole reason I bought the 9.
I've had some other issues with the 6P, such as Bluetooth randomly disconnecting and not reconnecting until after a reboot, and the camera app has completely frozen up once or twice.
But otherwise it's undoubtedly the best Nexus device I've ever owned.

Yes but I wouldn't call it lag. It only happened first time when setting up the device and seemed like app became unresponsive.
Not lag as such but as a device as a whole it's slower than my S6.

What do you mean? Where do you notice that?
There is no lag whatsoever in the device. I have had two apps force close, which I guess is the marshmallow incompatibility issue. This phone is blazing fast

Mine has run smooth on most things. Occasionally coming out of finger print scan it is sluggish. However, overall it performs well.

In general, opening apps etc. Both phones are super powerful though.

I am having this issue too. Opening apps, using the fingerprint scanner, hitting the recents button, sometimes they lag or are sluggish almost to the point where I have to hit them again because I think that the tap didn't register. Then it opens twice or opens/closes because of the sluggishness. It's really strange and beginning to think it's an app or a kernel issue.

REQUEST: DJI GO 4 app/android OS mod...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dji.go.v4
I'm an android fanboy and always have been however, it's bothering me that the DJI android app doesn't seem very compatible with Android / Samsung devices...
..After a bit of googling it seems like it may be a resourcing issue or something like that where the app can't get CPU or RAM to process the live video stream from the drone, which breaks up and pixelates... with occasionally​ app crashes. (I've personally only ever had a single crash but i think that was to do with my SD card).
I once read it was something to do with android having so many variants/variables where Apple iOS is much more strict...yada yada.
I am running debloated superman ROM v2.4.1, however across the board there seems to be an issue...
Just wondering if some Android Guru out there could have a look at this in the hope of coming up with a solution... maybe a mod or an app, something that could be used to prioritise the DJI app and clear memory, or otherwise if it's another issue!
Apparently, since Nougat update the issue has got worse. I would tend to agree with this..Personally I use a S7E and also new Tab S3...Both have the pixelation and signal breaking up issue.
DJI have also apparently contacted Samsung about a 'known issue's with Nougat however not seen anything.
I don't want to buy an iPad and just have been dealing with poor performance thus far, just thought I'd put it out there to see if someone fancys a challenge ?? ?
Much obliged. Cheers for reading!

Do you also get the broken picture and green - and sometimes pink - bands?

It's was mostly laggy tbh.

Seems more laggy on my Tab S3. Live feed / cache stutters a bit.

Have you tried litchi? Currently wating to receive a phantom 3 standard.

Nope - but read that [depending on circumstances] flying with Litchi can affect warranty. So have been a bit hesitant.
Also, it's another £20 or so on play store?
Think I might have to bite the bullet though. Not sure the UI is as good as GO 4? Anyone?
So frustrating when you spend all that on a piece of kit and they can't pull their software / Devs together to accommodate some of the most popular android devices.
Anyone have any idea what can do to resolve this 'incompatibility' issue?
