It happens on my phone too but not always, very rarely. I think the cyan update will be a medicinal cure for many of the issues we are facing. Currently our phones hardware is not 100% compatible with WP8.1. I wonder how much longer will Nokia take to push out the update.

My start screen lagged on 8.0 when returning to it. So that is not something new caused by 8.1.

I have lumia 520. Updated to 8.1. Having following things:

- 3 row tiles
- Every app and game on the tiles
- Background image for tiles
- Almost all space occupied in memory card as well as phone memory by apps and games.

Now I experience a great lag!
Sometimes phone restart...many games lag, and whatsapp..well all knows about whatsapp :P

I can confirm that after unpinning Cortana a few days ago, I have not gotten the resuming or loading delay.

Me too. Not one time and it's been at least 3 days. It used to happen alot.

(I still have the delay when I go back to the start screen and can't do anything for a second or two sometimes but I had that even before 8.1.)

I've had this before even installing 8.1, on my 1020. Seems like something with WP8 that is still in 8.1. Just got a 1520 the other day. Figured the quad core would power through. Nope, still happens.

It's clearly an OS issue, back from 8.0.

So, after trying all I thought of (including multiple resets and fresh installing), I switched off the extra column.
Unfortunately that solved all lags. Unfortunately because I don't want to remain with those big *** tiles.

Nonetheless, after returning to old columns layout the OS is lighting fast opening apps - returning to home screen - opening apps again... Like we used to have in WP 8.0.

Now I am sad! I probably will bring back the extra column but I want my phone to be snappy.

Btw, this comes from a Lumia 720 with WP 8.1 with cyan and no DP.

At least you have the option to use two columns! My 930 also has the laggy start animation but I don't have the option for two columns!

[grininja]

Oh, common! I thought that 930 can not have this kind of problem.

I was considering a better hardware equipped Lumia just because of that lag, and I really like the orange 930 one. But the lack of glance was kinda of deal breaker. And now this? Such an advanced Lumia, with native 8.1, and still lags when returning to start screen? Such a disappointment.

Wow c##p iI never knew that about my 930

Have you guys tried taking Cortana off your start screen that solves my lag!

[grininja]

I don't have Cortana enabled. Lag isn't always there. Sometimes it runs smooth, but from time to time tiles won't refresh without some lag. This inconsistency is irritating.
As I said, this it isn't happening with the extra column disabled.

Holy c***! Unpinning Cortana actually got rid of the stuttering! I don't care enough to the point where I have to unpin Cortana just to get rid of this tiny stutter so I'm just gonna DEAL WITH IT.

Don't get turned off to the 930 just because of this tiny issue, the device is super snappy at everything else and I'm sure any current little bugs will get ironed out eventually.
