Stutter and lag while scrolling.

[Saintgein]

Hello,

I recently bought an xperia z1. I got it the day update .757 was released. Because of that i never really enjoyed the smoothness people said they were enjoying with the 4.3 version of android.

With this 4.4.2 version, i'm experiencing alot of lag while scrolling. Apps like phonebook, e-mail, gmail and facebook all have a tough time when scrolling through pages. Stuttering and lagging all around. Chrome scrolls quite fine, but hangs occasionaly.

This scrolling wasn't that bad on my old xperia s, hence this topic.

Now my question: Is this a well known fact, and are you guys working on an update which makes sure the lag goes away? Or is there any way to fix this problem right now?

Thanks for the answer!

Ok, i am going to try that.

I tried updating with SUS, and the problem still persists. It's like almost everything gives a little stutter/lag when scrolling, even in menu's etc. The rest works fine and very fast. Like i said before, benchmarks also give great scores. So is it safe to say now that the 757 firmware has problems with this smoothness? Or are there more ways to get rid of this problem?

Don't get me wrong, i'm not angry or something. I just don't understand what's going on with this fine device.

That was way to fast, only 30min? how fast is your internet connection?

[Saintgein]

50 mbit. The download went quite fast, just like the reset itself. That's  why i didn't hesitate to try it again on my windows pc like you said. I also can't think of any reason why i would be lying about this.

Like i said before, don't get me wrong. I'm not angry or something. I just don't understand why this scrolling is such an issue while the rest of the phone works great!

That's odd, I haven't been able to recreate that issue

Hi Saintgein, i'm experiencing this issue too...

And I made the reapir by SUS, and things still the same...

Before the 4.4.2, the phone runs smooth, without heating (only playing GT2, Asphalt, etc) and with great battery life, was lasting almost 2 days, using very much, tasks like waze, whats app, games and google features...

After 4.4.2, when i leave mobile data on, my battery doesn't last 12h...

This thing is annoying me... Lots of lags, lags on camera...

@uliwooly: Have you tried using extra large font? I use that because it makes it very easy to read for me, maybe that's the reason of the lag. I notice that if i use normal size font, the scrolling issue is less visible. Although it's still not perfectly smooth then.

And yeah, it's not there all the time. It's like sometimes the cpu is working and influencing the scrolling a little. And it's not much like hanging for seconds, it just doesn't feel smooth.

@antenorhs: So i'm not the only one having this issue. I can't compare my experiences with the older situation, but maybe i should try the 4.3 update, just to find out. Thanks for the reply!

I'll try it later on, on my Z1

Thanks for looking into this matter!
