Why is my HTC One M8 lagging after Lollipop 5.0 update?

[onetymuser]

This is also happening on my M7 from Verizon. I've of course gotten tired of the lagging on my text Messenger app and have shutdown, restarted numerous times in the last 2 weeks since my update. I cleared the Cache Partition as well with little change. I think I'm hearing there is an update to 5.1.1 which fixes this issue? Currently on 5.0.2. Any other advice for me on this one? No updates are available to me yet on this phone...

Using HTC Backup makes a reset easy. Using Restore it really does all the leg work including settings and apps, emails, messages.... just a couple of tweaks and signing back into a few apps, and done. 15 minutes....

I used htc backup and it didn't work properly, the last backup it recognized was one from months before. Complete waste of time.

Plus there is the whole aspect of sending all your phone content to some Company in China on the basis of some vague promise of privacy.
It just seems like a Bad Idea(tm). Its bad enough that we have to sell our soul to google, and a carrier. Adding more does not seem better.
Ok, ok, i'll step away from the tin foil now....

Not a complete waste of time for me. It's worked flawlessly at least 6 times over three phones, including setting up my M8 from my Htc Evo 4g......

Do you have htc backup connected to Dropbox or do you use it with Google Drive?

I notice the most lag when switching between networks. Whenever my phone automatically connects to WiFi it becomes almost unusable for a minute. Also happens when disconnecting from wifi and going to 4g. It's super annoying.

My lag seems to be whenever syncing takes place. HTC has tried to convince me that's it's because of the number of contacts I have stored through Google, but it's no more contacts than what I had before the update.

I noticed all of my animations are set at (1x), not (.1x). Should I make the change to (.5x)?

Unfortunately, the best way to apply major updates to any device is to factory reset then apply the update. Upgrading over your existing device will usually work out worse whether it's an Android phone, Windows computer or a router.

No.

I have the same problem since the update but never noticed this. i'll try it out thx for the info

No.

Exactly: NO.
Android isn't windows.

Yeah my default is 1x, only lower option is 0.5x... not sure what's up

I've tried almost everything here and still get major lockups. I'm convinced it's the update, I was thinking of going to Cynaogen but my work will not allow rooted phones w/ email... so I'm stuck. Hopefully 5.1 will be thoroughly tested and speed things up. I know the Nexus 5 is very similar issues with 5.0 and it was resolved with 5.1

Thank you! I turned off the sounds on both Facebook and Messenger and it completely fixed the freezing issue!

So you didn't make the changes mentioned above in developer options?

Had to do a factory reset in order to clear the laggy performance. All works as advertised now
