Settings lag, typing lag, unlock lag

jinjuice — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 23:26:05 GMT

After the 4.4 update, typing has gone laggy. This can especially be seen while swipe typing and just even typing here (on my experia z).
The scrolling in settings also lag.
When I unlock my phone, a black screen appears for a split second before my background appears. (from lock screen to background).

Apologies if this isn't the right place to post.

Does the same happen after a restart?

You can try this steps
1. Make yourself as "developer" in settings
2. In settings, Go down and select "developer options"
3. Tick the "Force GPU rendering" and you are done.

This tips just fix "settings scroll lag" and "status bar scroll lag" ONLY

Hope these can help you.

Ha Ha.. Same problems here bro..

For that settings lag alone, you could go to developer options and select force gpu rendering, but for typing lag, i'm still searching for a fix. The problem is that the processor is idle.

Yep, restarting the phone doesn't make a difference.

Sometimes the black screen appears for about a second (which feels like forever)

And sometimes typing gets really laggy that I have to wait for it.

I've also noticed that using the home and multitask icons lag too.

The settings lag was fixed as instructed by MarcusKing and Sharavan_sp.

Thanks.

So i think it's a bug in .230 firmware. Let's wait for the .233 which was certified a few days ago.
If the lag persists even after updating to .233, I'm gonna downgrade to 4.3 .101

Ah i see.

Yeah, hopefully that update will fix the problems.

UPDATE: I switched off my phone the whole night and today morning i switched on(that's when i commented that I'll downgrade if the lag persists), the problem was gone(temporarily or permanently i don't know). It's been 10hrs and it's running fine.
Now antutu is showing that the first two cores are active. And the third core also kicks in if i press the task switcher or open another app

Try restarting your phone or switch off your phone and give some time and then restart it. For settings lag, try the above method by 'force gpu rendering'

After restarting my z a few days ago, it's working perfectly. No lag. Much better battery life.

I am having setting lag and huge battery drain even in idle state(Model C6603 Build No. 10.5.A.0.230). The latest play services update did not resolve this problem, While same playservices don't effect my galaxy s3. Lagging in setting is horrible. I have tried all above mentioned methods. Please fix this buggy Update or give us an option to degrade back to 4.3.

I am having exactly the same issues with the keyboard lag and the black screen after unlocking phone. I guess those too are flaws in the latest 4.4.4 kitkat update ending in. 283. I just hope that there would be a fix because the xperia experience has never been sooooo bad at least to me. Xperia ZL C6502 running kitkat 4.4.4 10.5.1.A.0.283.
