Scrolling smoothness

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the LG G5 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

The scrolling is generally smooth but long webpages do stutter as ads and images load.

Buttery smooth except for those random mobile sites like XDA that have scroll lag on every mobile phone I've tried.

Smooth.

Any chance you could send over the link for that article? :laugh: But seriously, it's so so smooth. I honestly don't think it's lagged once.

Mine is "stuttering" while scrolling, everywhere. It's not a real stuttering but an illusion and connected with the display I think. It has a ghost effect while scrolling. You can easily notice it in the Android settings or while scrolling an app drawer. I think the display can't do 60Hz or has really bad respond timings. It's one of the worst looking for moving objects Ive seen on all my devices. Force GPU Rendering btw does nothing positive nor negative on this device.

my scrolling is generally fine. Unless I have many apps open

Settings/Developer Options/ Tick on "Force GPU Rendering" this should make Android phone smoother/snappier!,
If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store. LG V20 & LG G5 are snappy beasts and most anticipated of 2016. Also well optimised with Snapdragon 820 and is better than Samsung!

Maybe just read two posts... two damn post above what I wrote @Ali Mirza. "Force GPU Rendering" does nothing. Also the screen seems really bad and has terrible response timings. Worse is scrolling with black font on white the font becomes red while scrolling because of the ghost effect.

Scrolling Smoothness Response

I have an LG G5 with t-Mobile, and by doing my usual tweaks (changing some settings, deleting or deactivating some apps) I have had a great scrolling experience. 9 out of 10 imho.

Just upgraded from a Nexus 5X, much smoother, no comparison. N5X is ok but it has a micro hangs and stutters all the time.

And those changes are... what? I wonder if it's maybe caused by the damn Google app I installed later, because it uses an always on overlay over the whole screen, for that screen / search / capture you can't deactivate. I think I had great smoothness too out of the box but then it get worse suddenly, and I don't have any special apps installed.

For future reference, I had been plagued by this issue as well ever since getting this phone. For me, fast scrolling was just fine--it was only evident when doing slower scrolling, like scrolling slowly through the application drawer. The display would hitch repeatedly, as if the graphics buffer could just not keep up.

For me, disabling the developer option "force GPU rendering" has removed the problem for me. I swear I tried with and without this option before but it's working well for me, so now I have one less irritation with this piece of hardware.

Very snappy especially after I tweaked the animation speed in dev options. Any slow-downs are extremely rare.
