This seems to help a lot

Settings
Developer options

Change Windows animation scale to OFF
Change Tranition animation scale to OFF
Change animation duration scale to OFF

Yes it gets rid of all the fancy animations, but until Samsung fix this, its a temporary fix

This is the 1st thing I do on all my Android phones. Helps on EVERY phone, not just the sg4.

What do the animation transitions etc do?

Exactly what you'd expect, a quick dissolving effect when you go to the home screen, switch between apps etc.

Ha ha ha lets turn off the animation efects and this will make the phone faster...This make phone more ugly because you torn off visual efects,and nothing about overall procesor and work speed.NOTHING!

 

[krabman]

Wrong. I prefer the look without the animations and it does in fact make the phone much more responsive which is all good because lag sucks and that fix along with killing the S-voice on the home key makes the phone a whole lot better to live with.

 

[benbird7]

I prefer them off. Much snappier. Thanks.

Lol why do you even buy GS4 if you are going to close all visual effects?

temporary fix until samsung pull their finger out to sort out this ****ty lag
annoying and embarrassing the same when showing the phone off!

Idk about you, but I rather sacrifice on animation than lag.

How's this relevant, unless you were hoping for some quick relief while picking up tech tips?

Hmmm could be a long (infinite) wait if the s3 is anything to go by. I'm getting home screen redraws now too. I really thought having 2 gb ram would have sorted that.

I'm glad this guy figured it out.

What's really interesting is that despite the tons of other threads about disabling transitions in developer options, he someone managed to make his phone 10 times faster than all of those! And it's even quoted in the thread title like the absolutely factual factoid that it is! Win!

Plus, as an added bonus, rather than simply making a duplicate thread with text, that takes only a few seconds to disregard, this is a link to Youtube... Quality all around.

thanks buddy, don't forget to click the thanks button

Gives me a deep sense of joy when I am able to assist my fellow XDA colleagues :good:

LOL.

Who knew disabling something can make it faster? Another tip for you then which you may not be aware of. If you want to improve battery life, use it as little as possible. Hope that helps.

It's mind blowing how many people actually complains that the s4 lags!

my s4 is quick and snappy. Stock touchwiz qualcom version.

Even with air gestures and s voice enabled, there is no sign of lag or stutter.
