Lagginess

Same here with T-Mobile model, not the smoothest phone I have used recently. Just because of this I can't wait for my Pixel 2 XL to arrive. I think I will return it to TMobile early next week.
 
Thank you for the tip about the animations! That was the one thing that really bothered me about the V30, coming from the Note 8. The phone felt like it took half a second to open apps and transition. I set the animations to .5 and now it flies!
 
Reducing the Animation settings under Developer settings helped remove the shutter on my phone too however its still there. My iPhone never had any lag issues. This is the one negative work flow with this phone. It should be noted the shutter is only on web browsers.

It's funny that you say that because I changed my anamitions on my note 8 because I felt it was slow compared to my axon 7

Like not saying that it's slow but just personal opinion it seems like the slow down the animation to make it seems like it smoother like when I out the animations to 0.5 on my note that's how fast my axon moves period I see it mostly with the recent apps and when in hitting the recent app button to go back and fourth that's when I mostly see it ... You just made me concerned about the v30 not because I ordered it yesterday ... Want to give a chance because of the camera and I'm not really a Hugh fan of the note beaing tall tbh still great phone but I will see... If I don't like the v30 I'll look in to one of those Pixter clip ons and hope it works with the dual camera on the note 8
 
You can try checking force gpu rendering in developer options. It might speed things up.

Why not shut them off entirely?
 
Yes, I'm going to keep the V30. Note 8 is going back. I love T-Mobile jump on demand!
Note 8 screen gets brighter, but it's unnecessary. The V30 screen is brilliant and more than bright enough. I love the sound through headphones, the size, the cameras, the fingerprint sensor, the design ,etc etc.

Enjoy .... One more thing is there a way you can switch on and off fast charging on the v30 like you can on Samsung ?
 
I don't know, and I don't care. I never keep a phone long enough to worry about battery wear.

(Not sure there's anything to worry about anyway)
 
By the way, battery life so far is amazing and better than the Note 8. I'd say comparable to the S8+
 
OK, I spent another hour today at a different Verizon store, and since they didn't have the V30 on display, the rep grabbed one from a drawer and set it up so I could play with it. Had them next to each other for the first time, and there were few occasions where I did notice slight lag. Not Samsung bad, but a difference. I'm done comparing, will miss the headphone jack and Quad DAC, but 2 XL for me. Going all in on the Google Android experience.

If it was just setup while you are there, the phone was still indexing and getting apps ready. Thats normal the first day you setup a device.

Set up as in logged in and connected to WiFi. The phone has been fully set up from factory, and I made sure it's not installing any apps, etc.
 
very lagy, and a tad buggy too. I will be purchasing the pixel xl2 tomorrow, I got used to fast phones with the pixel XL and oneplus 5. I wanted to like it, but I just cant handle the lag. guess I will return it and keep my upgrade open for something else down the line.

Ive installed nova prime, and turned off annimations via developer options. Neither has helped. Ive even favtory reset the phone and dissabled the bloat. Still lags.

Is the lag noticeable when not comparing phones?

I played with a display model and it was quick and snappy. More than my iPhone 7+
