screen rotation lag

[Berry me a G]

I have the z3 dual and am liking the phone for sure! Although one issue Im having is that the screen rotation seriously lags. Sometimes it doesnt rotate into landscape and when it does it wont rotate back to portrait. Eventually it does but I end up doing several 360 degree turns in order for it to register. Very frustrating and a little embarrassing for such a slick phone.

Currently I have both screen rotation and smart screen checked. Phone is unrooted running Apex launcher. Anybody have any suggestions on this and or any tips to help my phone be more snappy?

I also have the same phone, and one thing I noticed with this phone is that if you have multiple things running in the background (I notice it with the Walkman app) that it kind of slows the phone down...I'd suggest clearing your background running apps every once in a while to make sure nothing is affecting the performance

Also you can get this app called "Clean Master" which is a very nyce app that clears unused ram and frees up a lot of space on the phone so that it runs faster

I try to stay on top of closing apps although i haven't seen a way to clear RAM yet. On my old phone this was very easy...so for Z3 i need to install 3rd party app to do this? if so Ill check out clean master.

Any other tips for a performance/ snappier boost?

I have the exact same problem, I've used several launchers and it's the same with them all. Definitely nothing to do with background apps and tasks.

Yeah, I've given clean master a couple of hours and have even exited apex launcher for a bit but the screen lag is still there (calling it a "lag" doesn't do it justice) ...now I just frustratingly shake the phone when it doesn't switch. Lame

It's weird. I don't have lag at all so have to turn it off in bed as it constantly switches.

Ive been playing around with different settings and clearing cache but the lag is still here Screen still gets stuck in either portrait or landscape mode and will not rotate. When it does it happens after much flipping and rotating the phone for 30 seconds or so..
I might try a hard reset and see if that changes anything

I've experienced the lag as well. Other than that I really like the phone.

Do you have the smart screen rotation setting on? You'll find that in the display>screen rotation.

No lag I found it way to annoying to leave on though model number D6603.

when i first got the phone got in to developer options and turned off all effects and animations im not sure that would effect the speed of the phone but i just dont need those turned on ,and i dont have a lag

It is caused by smart screen rotation. Turn it off. I have the Z2 and tried the feature, but it will think you are laying on your side in bed, and will keep the same screen orientation.

Good in theory, but not executed well. It's not lag though.

Thanks! I just found that out as well. "smart screen rotation" was definitely the culprit. with it unchecked everything is snappy as I would expect and am much happier!

Glad it worked out. Hopefully the feature can get some bugs worked out. It would be nice in bed, but it ruins my normal everyday usage.
