Occasional lag

[MarqBland]

Coming from 6S Plus, I have to say one thing about my new Verizon Note 7 - it is nowhere near as smooth as the iPhone. There will be times when everything is snappy, then 5 seconds later it hiccups. Momentary jerk in scrolling, or slow app load, or not loading pictures, etc. Is this basically to be expected with Android, or am I missing something?

I'm enjoying the phone otherwise, have Nova running and I have spent few hours arranging everything I want. But playing with both phones next to each other, the lag can be quite apparent.

Actually try with the Touchwiz launcher. I had Nova on my 6p and it caused much more lag than I expected. If you're coming from a 6s Plus then you don't have a bias towards a certain launcher. I used to HATE Touchwiz on my Note 4 last year. I'm loving it on the Note 7 so far.

No lag on my Note 7 yet but I haven't moved over the stuff from my Note 5 yet.

I have experienced some lag with my note 7, especially when I'm scrolling through pages... I'm coming from that HTC 10, and that phone was buttery smooth with zero lag... the note 7 isn't nearly as smooth or responsive

I think the "settling down" includes indexing and information syncing with various accounts. I have been using an S7 and I think it is everybit as usable as my 6s. More so in some ways. Doesn't sync as well with my Mac tho'.

Sammy's often have issues with listviews dropping frames and acting a little jerky. Samsung's engineers don't seem to bother optimizing them much.

Lag is just a grab all term that is misused most of the time.

Yep I have it as well. I've turned off the edge screen and maybe it's slightly better. I had the same issues with the s7 edge. I have an 6s plus and while it does hiccup here and there, overall it's smoother. I was hoping the grace UX might usher in a new level of smoothness.

No lag for me. I guess I am lucky again. I just don't see what others are seeing I guess. Mine zips along great so far after 2 days

This is untrue for me on note 5 and 7. I've only had this issue with other launchers than TouchWiz at different states of settings, or apps doing heavy work in the background (unfortunately this sometimes means play store updates).

The occasional lag is noticeable to me as well but I don't mind it because of the features.

It's generally subtle and most people don't even notice it or care.

You are very lucky it seems...looking back at last years posts your Note 4 and Note 5 seem to be rather flawless. Just seems like there's those people that never have an issue.

It'll go away, it takes a few days for the device to optimize everything.

Maybe it related to certain apps or multi-tasking or some combo of elements. I rarely if ever see lag on my last few Samsung Android phones. Now on my old GS4 and GS5, another story

It's possible. Perhaps it's imperceptible to me. I certainly don't go out of my way to look for it or to try to evoke it, but I also would probably not be one to let it go either. Either way, I am thrilled with the Note 7 so far. I am sorry for those few who are experiencing some lag.
