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 HTC U12+ 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!
I think there is something wrong with the scrolling smoothness of the U12+. I am referring to vertical (eg on Blinkfeed or Chrome) or horizontal (between panels on Edge Sense's home screen) movements while the finger swipes and stays on the screen. It can also be described as jerkiness in animation, in a sense that the screen fails in timely following the movement of the finger. It is very apparent when slowly scrolling on the settings menu, or when pulling the notification shade down (especially when pulling it all the way down, by looking at the animation of the quick toggles expanding. It is very evident when directly comparing the same actions between the U12+ and the U11 (stock Oreo) or the 10 (stock Oreo) side-to-side, where the latter 2 are buttery-smooth. It is as if you are seeing a display flucutuating between 50 and 60 fps.
This issue reminds me of an old HTC 10 problem described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/htc-10-varying-50-60-fps-t3435554
Can it be a CPU governor issue? For example, EXKM reports schedutil governon on the U12+ and interactive on the U11 (both stock Oreo).
The thing is I did not notice this for the first two weeks of use, while now I cannot really get over it. The only thing that changed was the update from 1.15 to 1.21. Can it be that something changed between software versions?
Please share your experiences on the matter...

Am not noticing any issue with my phone. My HTC 10 was also smooth, the U12+ is just much faster in every regard. My U12+ has also been updated to the latest 1.21. release.

I have no issue with my HTC u12+,but here i realized something .there is a big different depend on your scrolling speed ,if you on the main screen and try to scroll up the application window with a full speed ,you will realize the animation become very fast.

That is strange. I can understand that different people perceive refresh rate-related things differently, but I think this is too much of a difference for someone not to notice. I think we need to summon THE expert on such issues, a guy who also has extended experience with the device. @hamdir, if you are around, please share your thoughts!

It´s not an issue with the framerate directly. It´s an issue with the framebuffer and the GPU/DRM drivers. This changed a bit on the new 4.9 kernel (snapdragon 845) contrary to the old 4.4 kernel (snapdragon 835) and how it´s implemented to the kernel. Therefore also the implementation of colour control is quite a bit different compared to the old 4.4 kernel.
It was resolved by the Qualcomm guys at the code aurora forums (CAF). HTC apparently merged these changes (or their own) into the 1.21 kernel and it´s gone there.
It´s just there when keeping the finger on touchscreen while scrolling very slowly as you mentioned
Related
Has anyone noticed this? Wherever there's something to scroll, web pages, menus etc., the motion is sort of stuttering as long as you keep your finger on the screen. When you release your finger and "throw" the page, it goes smooth. This makes me think that it's not a graphic performance issue, but it's more like if the resolution of the capacitive touch screen was lower than the actual display. I hope I'm wrong and it's software related...
Software related, doesn't always do this.
Edit-
On second thought I am not sure, sometimes it does this really badly and other times it is completely smooth. If we didn't have full resolution touch you would notice it on a multi touch test app.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I think I have found the cause.
Cpu scaling!
Lock setcpu to 1 ghz and it is much smoother.
What is happening is the cpu speed keeps throttling and jumping back to full speed causing problems
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Actually...still unsure...ideas anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
"Problems" with CPU speed jumping up and down? Those are not problems but a design decision (jury is still out on whether the implementation is done right) to save energy.
Of course you can crank everything up to the max and never put peripherals or the CPU to sleep, but please don't start complaining when your battery runs flat before the day is done.
They set the ramp down cpu speed timer far too short. This can be modded in a kernel anyway.
Using a multi touch test we have at minimum 600x300 touch resolution, way more then enough to have lag free scrolling.
There's an acer android phone out with only about 32x 24 touch resolution. They manage
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I don't think it's related. I'm experiencing this even with the cpu locked in performance mode. On the other hand, using a multitouch test app, I was able to move a pointer pixel by pixel at what seemed to be the screen's full resolution, so touch res is not the cause.
It's quite annoying cause even if you want to launch a fast scroll of, say, your contact list, you get that initial ugly small stutter... when browsing the internet this ruins the experience even more, since you are likely to keep your fingertip on the screen more.
Dunno about you guys but uninstalling Gesture Search by Google fixed it for me.
Never had that on my phone...

Could be, I had a HTC HD2 and it suffered from that problem alot. numerous videos have been posted on youtube because of it as well.
One possible way of minimizing the problem is to electrically discharge your screen, by putting an electric conductor, such as metal on it to remove and negative/postive ions still hanging around. Read that up somewhere and it somewhat helped my HD2.
Personally i have only experienced once on my Sgs and have not been able to replicate it since.
If you have big fingers that could also be a problem as the touch sensor can't decide on where to locate your finger...
Thank you for your answer! The electrical conductor you mentioned should go somewhere to discharge though... I can't walk around with a ground wire hanging from my phone all the time Plus, I really believe it's software. I know it always goes there but... iPhones have similar technology but they always scroll smooth. maybe it's interpolation we're missing here.
Btw I have particularly small hands!
Discharging it only has to be done only when the problem seems to be worsening. just try not to place your entire thumb on it but rather use the tips of yours fingers, that way it doesnt jerk.
I have to say this problem is pretty consistent, hence not worsening (or improving) whatsoever in any circumstances. It's just not fluid, ah my Touch HD used to be, but that was because of poor GPU (driver); we know that can't possibly be the case here, and as a matter of fact, regardless of load, stuff in the background etc, it's there all the time.
But as soon as you release the fingertip, the "inertial" part of the scrolling just goes as smooth as possible.
So I'd dismiss the electrostatic explanation, it seems like it was a non-interpolated low touch resolution... except that it's not...
Hi Folks, I have noticed the same problem running eclair 2.1 with Ryan's one click lag fix applied (the lag fix did speed it up quite a bit too!). It seems to do it after coming out of 'sleep' mode i.e when I wake it up from blank 'screen saver'. After a few scrolls or taps it starts to smoothen out a bit, but still not as I would like it to be.... Just my observations and sorry I can't offer up any Solutions... Any word if 2.2 update will make things better? Also, does anyone know when the update will hit Australia?
Welcome to android world, iphone users.
The world where not everything is super-smooth.
Actually it might be related to smoothing of touch input. Btw my scrolling is quite ok, but I come from Sybian world, world of lag.

'smoothing of touch input'? could you please expand on this?
BTW - I Never owned an iFone, and don't really go for it's comunistic ways... (although some people take comfort in it! )
Hm, touchscreen sends raw data to driver (noisy, with peaks) to driver. Driver cleans and interprets them.. (unless its done in TS firmware)
I think that more cleaning and smoothing at this stage would result in smother scrolling, but not-so-precise tracking (when drawing, etc).
I'm just speculating here, because I have no real knowledge about this.
OK... Although it seems like there is a delay in reloading to short term memory when coming out of hibernation? Would this sound like a place to start looking? if so, anyone have any ideas on how to manipulate this function?

It's a typical Samsung phone. In other words, not the best. You'll see some frame drops and stuttering on certain apps. Compared to a Pixel phone, it's very choppy. Compared to other phones, especially Samsung, it's maybe a little better than usual.
I'm on my second day of use and I've found the fluidity of the interface to be smooth and without any lag. YMMV.
Ironically the only jumpy, stuttery scrolling I've encountered on this phone is with the official XDA app! Uninstalled and use Samsung browser and dark theme. Slicker than a buttered Otter.
I get a small stutter jumping from home screen into the app menus, had it from the minute it was unboxed. Annoying really!
My S8 had pretty choppy scrolling, especially when scrolling slowly (keeping finger on the screen). However, my Note 8 is buttery smooth in every app so far!

I will say this: on performance mode, this is significantly minimized. I'm actually impressed!
I've set all animations at .5 and haven't seen any stutter or lag at all. I really don't remember any before I changed the settings. It's just an automatic thing I do with Samsung phones. I am also on high performance mode.

My animations are on 0.5 as well, and in performance mode it is almost flawless. That's the key I've realized. Non-performance mode was noticeably worse for me (which is why all the store models looked choppy to me - they were incapable of going into performance mode).
Besides slightly raising brightness and setting the resolution all the way up what else does performance mode do?

Avoids throttling the CPU I think.
Animations set at 0.5.
Smooth scrolls in browsers and tumblr twitter
i have set the animations to 0.5 but Twitter still lags badly.. bit fustrating tbh compared to the iphone twitter app.. i don't understand whys look and perform so much better on iphones
I haven't noticed any lag scrolling since I got it. I just turned Animations off today, I didn't realize you could do that in the Dev options now. TBH I don't like animations just to have animations, I turn them off all my PCs too. If I run into any issues with them off, I"ll try .5
For those who feel choppy, I kindly ask you to disable any services in the accessibility and try again. I have not experienced any stutter except for occasion stutter when I scroll in 'running service' in 'developer option'.
Is exynos throttled more than Snapdragon versions? I've used both now and notice slight lags in exynos (balanced mode)
Running processes are fine, but Chrome (e.g. this page), Twitter etc. are quite choppy. I'm running high performance mode, think it helped a little but not enough. Hope it's something they'll be able to fix with an update
Hi all,
I'm a proud owner of PH-1 since yesterday. The device is beautiful, feels so good in my hands, premium looking.
But, after checking everything was working fine and applying all the OTAs, I felt the performance was not good enough. You know, the unwanted jank.
I'm sure that Snapdragon 835 + screen resolution combination must fly, without jank at all; the best proof is that it's something you experiment with the current Lineageos ROM, although I haven't tested it by myself yet.
Therefore, after reading some comments which pointed that OREO beta performed better, I upgraded to it and made a FR to start with a clean upgrade. But I still have that unpleasant feeling.
I've taken several systraces trying to find out something that could help, but the truth is that jank is everywhere. Two examples:
- Scrolling through Amazon app: check amazon.png attachment. Several frames lost at once, due to the orientation sensor + sporadic jank:
Title MessageLoop::RunTask
Category toplevel
User Friendly Category other
Start
1.619,131 ms
Wall Duration
138,135 ms
Self Time
0,033 ms
Args
src_file
"../../mojo/public/cpp/system/simple_watcher.cc"
src_func
"ArmOrNotify"
- Scrolling through Settings. Jank again (specially when the end scrolling animation is shown).
This has been just a quick analysis. We can confirm that improvement is possible. It's not only a feeling now.
I don't know if Essential team reads this forum, but I'd love to see this improved. It's the only thing, IMHO, that needs to get fixed to own a perfect phone.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

They are aware of it and they said this issue is top priority. Whether they can fix it that remains to be seen. My gut tells me they can improve the touch scrolling, but ultimately there's an issue with the LCD panel. I am hoping it's not a design flaw and that I'm proven wrong. This is my main issue with the device. I love everything else about it. In Lineage the touch scrolling and performance in general is much better compared to stock or Oreo beta, but the touch scrolling issue is still there.
The problem with the scrolling is waaaaay better than my LG G4 (which seems to have been programmed to go down after a year ).
The only issue I really had is with some news website opened through the Facebook app, where scrolling is just not working.
Thanks for your replies.
Just to summarize: I'm talking about performance problems, that's it, missed frames when scrolling or an animation is shown (ie: open an app). That's not acceptable on a device powered by a 835 processor.

Switch to Lineage if it really bothers you. I personally could not handle stock for the reasons you mentioned. Lineage is like using a completely different device. Night and day difference when it comes to UI smoothness and performance. Latest build has incredible battery life too.

Completely agree. I switched to LineageOs yesterday, and looks like a different phone. No jank and battery consumption is really good so far.
Thanks for the tip. I would really like to go back to stock, but once they have fixed both idle consumption and jank issues.

Scrolling is head and shoulders above them.

Facing the scroll and touch issue
Sometimes scrolling is laggy, sometimes it stutters, sometimes it moves too fast when i scrolled it slowly.
Scrolling has been choppy since day 1 for me. There is small microstutter.

Yup. The problem is, not everyone can see that. For instance, I said in an article that the Play Store (one example) is jittery/stuttery when scrolling up/down in pretty much every 'corner of the app. People thought I was trolling. And my eyes perceive those stutters as relatively obvious ones. I don't understand how people can't see that. Then there's Twitter. If people can't see that Twitter stutters like crazy, then I don't know what else to say. I don't think the OP6 is smoother than the Pixel 2XL, even though that one's a generation behind. Imagine how good the Pixel 3 is gonna be.

Yeah. Most people probably don't notice it, but my eyes are very sensitive to it. I game on a 165 Hz G-sync monitor and I still notice microstutter at high frame rates lol. I wonder how havoc os or lineage os is? Maybe it's just the OS and not the device causing it.

Of course the device is not the cause. It's the software that facilitates the appearance of these jitters/stutters. It's all about optimization.
I only got one issue with stuttering. That was on day one, when camera application stuttered and crashed. After that everything went fine. That probably because I had two camera apps. One of device and one installed from Play Store.

Same here with the 165hz gsync and very sensitive eyes.. Thus far I haven't noticed any stutters on the device yet been using Instagram, telegram and chrome but nothing so far on latest update.
If I compare my s7 edge that was just a nightmare of stutters.
Yup I get stuttering here, similar to my 3 back in the day. I wonder if tweaking the cpu governor has the same effects as it did on my 3. There is no "conservative" selection anymore.
O notice in some apps now. Not in chrome or Samsung browser (use it for better battery for some reason..)
But apps like Instagram (when loading pictures)
And also play store (most likely loading something too)
I'm thinking it's more about poorly designed apps rather that the device itself.
It seems that scrolling smoothness took a hit after the Pie update, many apps (including chrome) seem to stutter a lot for me.

Absolutely true. I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to install the latest Open Beta build, considering that Beta 3 was pretty smooth overall. And yes, Beta 4 is smoother than stable Pie. I don't get how the initial stable Pie build managed to make it to the masses in such a state. For the past few days, the experience on my phone was utter s#!t. I'll stay on Open Beta until things get better on 'stable Pie.
Is there scroll stutter on pie-based LOS and Havoc OS or is it limited to OOS only?

Recent apps lag
Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing some stutter and lags with my One Plus 6. For exempe, if I scroll quickly trough the recent apps in the multitask, I can see some frame drops and it's very annoying. I don't understand why...It should work extremely fluessly with a Snapdragon 845. Are some people having the same issue here ?
Thank you so much !
The only way I've found of stopping the stuttering and poor scrolling is for to go to developer options and set the background process limit to "at most, 4 process"

Is it just me, or the scrolling is pretty sluggish on Poco f1?
It doesn't lag or freeze but the latency is pretty high. When I scroll up and down fast, finger moves and the icons or the text on the webpage lags behind by 1-2 cm before it catches up the finger position.
Is it normal. I think it wasn't the case with my previous phone, nexus 5.

For sure they have to optimize their firmware/OS as its not even par with OnePlus 5T smoothness yet. Hope to see a solid update for performance and quality soon from Poco developers / Xiaomi Team!

I think that is mostly due to the Animation Scale set to 1x by default. Turn that completely off in developer settings and give it a try.
This might help-
- Go to Settings
- Go to About Phone
- Keep tapping on MIUI version(For Poco) till it gives you developer rights
- Go back to settings main menu
- Scroll to System & Device sub-menu and tap on Additional settings
- Scroll to the end and tap on Developer settings
- Scroll down to Drawing sub-menu and make the following changes
- Set Window animation scale to OFF
- Set Transition animation scale to OFF
- Set Animator duration scale to 1x

i tried that before but personally to me, disabling transition animations as well gives better results. Try scrolling facebook feed and you see the difference.

Is it just me, or the scrolling is pretty sluggish on Poco f1?
It doesn't lag or freeze but the latency is pretty high. When I scroll up and down fast, finger moves and the icons or the text on the webpage lags behind by 1-2 cm before it catches up the finger position.
Is it normal. I think it wasn't the case with my previous phone, nexus 5.

Are u talking about some kind of motion blur during scrolling? It could be because of the displays that xiaomi uses but I haven't seen this confirmed anywhere. Their older phones also had this problem and it is noticeable if u came from a more expensive phone or have one side by side to compare it with. Try having the same page on both and scrolling at the same time. For some people it isn't that noticeable and I was wondering if it's also a problem in this newer phone because that would make sense as one of the reasons why it's cheap. It won't affect how fast things load and I don't think it's a software problem. There are some people talking about it if u do a Google search and it happens on different models. Hard to believe xiaomi would do it paired with a snapdragon 845 though. Makes more sense for weaker processors
Turn off MIUI Optimization, Change value from 1 to 0,5 and wait for newer updates to get my Pocophone F1 smoother then
is about hertz ,the touch display
For SD845 device scrolling performance is definitely terrible i don't know if it's software or poor quality of display but scrolling is no where near my 4 year old Nexus 5
Touch response is very poor. When I swipe left it works as swipe up or down. Sometimes swipe down or up and works as swipe left or right. Very disappointed..you can try it.. Just swipe down the notification bar and remove the notifications one by one and see the action.
Sometimes I didn't touch an area of the display, actually my fingers went over these portion of the display and it works as touch click. Very disappointed.
Is it software or hardware(touch display) bug?

We don't know (yet). All I know is no update has fixed it so far. Tbh, I lost hope it's ever gonna be fixed. 50$ phones have better touch response than this "flagship killer killer". Scrolling and swiping is infuriating on Pocophone... Sometimes when I swipe left it goes right. So yeah... I think everyone has this issue but not everyone can notice it. I just don't know why some people say 'update to MIUI 10, it fixed it for me'. Or 'the latest stable update fixes it' when it CLEARLY DOESN'T.

I think it may be solved after some update.. I read some threads that it will be solved after update.

You have a faulty phone
For me, scrolling through things like settings or my Spotify playlist was very smooth and responsive but especially when scrolling through a WhatsApp chat it felt very sluggish (when I swiped down within a chat, let it scroll by itself and then put my finger down to stop at a specific point. The latency between my finger touching the display and the chat stopping scrolling always felt very high).
This improved a little by going from 9.6.14.0 (i think) to 9.6.22.0 and then quite a lot by disabling MIUI Optimizations.
I still keep MIUI Optimizations on since it makes the UI scale better.
I have high hopes that this is a software problem and will be gone at last with the Android Pie, MIUI 10 upgrade.
Well after installing the custom RoMs , touch is stilla pathetic. I don't feel the smoothness which I used to feel in my one plus 5. so does that mean its hardware fault..?

I think it is most likely hardware problem. Refresh rate is probably listed normally the same as other phones that don't have this problem so it's hard to know for sure
Does every pocophone have this issue? i have it too
