Note 8 - choppy/ lag?

None

One of the smoothest Android phones I've ever used. Twitter is slightly choppy but the same is the case on my iPhone 7 Plus.

The only app that's an utter mess is Skype - as is the case on all Android phones. After a few lines in chat it'll start slowing down to a glacial state where typing becomes hard to achieve

My Twitter app has no lag or stutter. If you haven't tried this, clear cache or delete the app, restart and reinstall app. That may help.

Is it happening on Wi-Fi and mobile data? I know Twitter is loaded with memes, might be a bandwidth issue.

I had a note 7 back to the 3rd. Samsung software is the issue. I just played with a note 8 at at&t and it had the same lag/skipping issues as the 7.. Sad when the price is this high. Iphones handle this so much better but i cant take how locked down everything is. 5 minutes with the note 8 made my decision for me - lg v30 it is.. I do however like the notes screen better but that stuttering isnt worth it.

Where in the note 8 was it lagging/skipping?

Starting to experience serious lag in everything I do on this device.

Gameplay, Scrolling, Sites, YouTube, Videos, everything.

Clear the system cache.

Clear the system cache.

How do you do that ?
Does that wipe out settings, accounts, etc ?

You have to distinguish lag from loading, streaming, or downloading delays. Some delays are do to problems with the server on the end with its traffic and ability to deliver the data to your phone fast enough. When it can't, your phone isn't lagging. The server is. However, if you are constantly having a problem with all web sites or just with certain apps, it could be a phone app software problem, or possibly a slow down with your internet service provider. If clearing your cache fixes the problem, then obviously the problem resided within the overtaxed memory management of the phone. Personally, so far, at least, I haven't experienced the latter kind of lag with my N8.

No it doesn't.

This should work for all Note 8s:

Would a reboot / power-off-on do the same thing with the clearing of the system cache ??
A reboot is very fast.

Nope. You need to actually clear it.
