Stutter and lag while scrolling.

[Saintgein]

Hello,

I recently bought an xperia z1. I got it the day update .757 was released. Because of that i never really enjoyed the smoothness people said they were enjoying with the 4.3 version of android.

With this 4.4.2 version, i'm experiencing alot of lag while scrolling. Apps like phonebook, e-mail, gmail and facebook all have a tough time when scrolling through pages. Stuttering and lagging all around. Chrome scrolls quite fine, but hangs occasionaly.

This scrolling wasn't that bad on my old xperia s, hence this topic.

Now my question: Is this a well known fact, and are you guys working on an update which makes sure the lag goes away? Or is there any way to fix this problem right now?

Thanks for the answer!

re-install the latest update with SUS or PCC, it will smooth things out

Update Service (SUS)

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

Do i have to repair an installation then? Or what should i do within bridge for mac?

just re-install the latest update, PCC/SUS/Bridge should tell you that you have the latest update but you should be able to re-install it

That's why i asked. I don't see an option that says re-install update. Just the repair xperia device option. So you're telling that i should use that option? I want to be really sure, because i need to do quite alot to get this done, and get it configured and set-up again..

And by the way, i tried using safe mode to see if the scroll stutter/lag was still there, and it was. How can it be that i need to reinstall the firmware then?

just repair your phone, or you can contact Sony directly

I did what you said, and the stuttering is still there.

It happens when the scrolling slows down to stop.

it could be a slow connection, also you might want to clear the call logs

The call logs are already cleared since the repair. I just synced my contacts, which are about 30 without much information or pictures. The lag also happens when i scroll through downloaded e-mails. So i don't need an active connection for that i guess.

I just don't understand why this isn't smooth, because there's such good hardware in this phone. Benchmarks and stuff also go really well. So i don't think there's much wrong with the phone itself.

I still think that if you could use a PC and SUS you will get a better result, as it will reinstall the latest update and factory reset your phone, just make sure to backup everything
