Call log lag and stuttery.

Saintgein — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 21:27:18 GMT

After alot of testing and doing, i noticed that there's one thing that gives too much lag and stutter while scrolling. The call log, which is found in the phone app. If this is filled with 40 or more rows of information, scrolling through this becomes really laggy and stuttery. This is also one of the main functions of the phone, so i hope this will be fixed in future updates! Or do you guys know a way to get rid of this lag without any update or something?

Thanks for answering!

Did you try until now to clear data for phone app under settings-apps-all?

Yeah, i even installed a few different kinds of roms. With the latest 761 i noticed that the phonebook and gmail etc scroll very smooth. Which they didn't in 757. But the call log is the part that gets really stuttery if it's filled too much, even in 761. I don't get that, because most other apps with more detailed lists have no problems at all with scrolling, except for offcourse the badly optimized ones.

I do not delete my call log but really hadn't noticed severe lag.I guess sometimes it does lag a little when scrolling.

Hmm, what can be the cause of this then? I didn't install that much other apps. Or maybe it's a setting which makes it better?

Could you be using task killers?

Not at all. I use greenify to hybernate some games and apps which i rarely use, just like i disabled most of the bloatware.

Did you also check in safe mode?

Yeah, that makes not much difference. Does that mode turn all 3rd party apps off? Or does it do more?

It does turn off the 3rd party apps,you stay with default only.That usually helps in finding 3rd party apps responsible for lag,sudden shutdown etc.

Except for the google apps i guess.

I really don't understand what's going on here haha. I noticed some buttery smoothness for a few moments after i reinstalled the phone, but then it's gone. Like the cpu has problems with it or something. While the cpu is so powerful!

Yeah,it could be that while the phone is lightly used,the processor uses only 1 core to preserve battery.You can check that with Antutu for example or any app from google play that can monitor the CPU.

Maybe. I will keep a close look on it. Although i think we have to wait for an update like 4.4.3 or higher. I suspect that an issue like this can be the cause of this weird lag: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1s/KitKat-Battery-drain-heating-issue-fixed-and-numerous-other/m-p/665965#U665965

Tough stuff, also because i just bought the device a month ago or something and sometimes really have the feeling like i did the wrong thing by not waiting for a z2 or something. This while the device itself is actually quite good, and does other stuff very well. It's just those laggy nuisances which i don't understand, my old xperia s has less problems with this kinda lag. And yeah, that one is running on stock 4.1.2.

I cannot say the same about my old Xperia P,which lagged big time.I edited your link because you put a broken one and it happened that I knew the topic.I have done that already,what about you?

Re: Call log lag and stuttery.

Saintgein — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 22:44:42 GMT

Yeah, but i'm pointing more at the thing he says about kitkat having more of these weird little problems. The battery draining and heating thing is one of the things that were quite easily noticable. Hearing 4.4.3 has more than 7500 bug fixes, i really can't wait for an update to that version of android.

Newayz, the main thing that i can't understand is why a simple list like call log has problems with scrolling while pages like facebook and android authority scroll buttery fluent in chrome.

Yeah,google is subtle here,they tend to look neutral but they do implement whatever they want on the Android.Like writing forbidden on SD by 3rd party apps and so on.They scan data for their interest.I do hope that the upcoming Android version will help all the devices in need.
