I've tried Nova and few other popular launchers. They help with some of the lag, but it's still not as fast as iOS, for me. Some things like hitting the call button (there's a lag before it actually starts to make the call), opening up Chrome for the first time, opening up some other apps for...

Yep, I got suckered into the S6 for the reason you stated. It seemed like the best replacement for the iPhone 6 at the time, but with the lag it simply isn't, for me. Drat. Now I need to wait until my contract is up to replace it with a lighter-skinned Android or possibly iPhone (grrrrrrr...I...

The lag on the S6 is a major problem for me. I came from an iPhone 6, and while I prefer Android in many other ways, the s6 is much slower compared to iOS. It's really bumming me out. There's a very noticeable delay in almost everything you do on the S6 -- it's not a super long delay but is very...

Is there a special way to swap UIs, or does it do it automatically when you install a new one?

Thanks for the great advice, everyone.

I'm an Android noob. Didn't know I could use another interface! Nova is one you'd recommend? I like speed and efficiency, have no need for fancy animations, etc.

Damn. As far as I know everything is updated. It's really night and day next to the iPhone, on every S6 that I've used. Such a drag because I much prefer this phone to my iPhone 6 otherwise. This is a big thing to get used to though, when you're used to lightning fast response, open-and-close...

Thanks for the help. I changed the settings and it does help a little bit, indeed. Some things still just sit there for a sec before they open, though, like Chrome and some other apps. The phone is only a few weeks old. Might just be an S6 or an Android thing? That would be a drag, but no...

Hi all, I'm a very happy S6 user and am thrilled to be out of the iPhone world after many years in it. There's only one thing that I really miss from iOS, and that is the fact that it's much snappier. The S6 lags in response time when you switch to different apps, open any app, etc. This is not...
