The WP 8.1 laggy experience when returning to start screen. Do you experience something similar?

[psgenious]

my 625 runs smoothly , even faster than wp8.

seems to be rather OS issue than problem with particular device.

Yes, I agree, its the SD card. I have a class 10 PNY, write speeds are only 11-12mb/sec and that's not fast enough. Games were horrible to play and using the phone was lagging at times. So I moved the biggest files to internal memory and kept the smaller apps on the SD card. Now my 1520 is the exact same smoothness of 8.0.

That is a simple tweak that MS has to release with the Nokia Cyan Update

Lots of lag all over the OS now. Not sure if MS needs to optimize the code some or maybe we've hit the threshold that starts requiring quad-core processors and more RAM. I have a Lumia 920.

Still enjoy 8.1 tremendously, but it could be off putting for some who aren't used it.

I have a feeling its got something to do with 8.1 not being optimized for various devices, similar to the Samsung camera problem. It might perform better after the cyan update maybe?

I promise it is more optimized for your processor at the moment. But true optimization will come from firmware.

Facing the same problem, just the start screen... I hope they can fix it...

I faced same issue on my lumia 625 But "Reset Device" solves ALL Issues....Now phone has filled with same as Before no issues faced.....PLEASE NOTE: Class 6 & 10 SD card is required for smooth operation until final OEM's relese updates....APPs can be installed only on SD cards of Class 6 & above even after OEM's update....

 

[Terry Miles]

Not having issues with lag after update.I did when first installed, rebooted phone and all was ok. That was two days ago, still running smooth. I have a 521.

I experience something similar? Whenever I go to the homescreen, Ihave to wait like 1 second to be able to tap any tiles. It's weird... Do you guys experience anything like this?

 

[EC Translating Services]

No issues at all on a 1520. Runs smooth as usual, fast and nice. Only one crash since installing. Crashed while pushing the Windows button to go back to Start page and froze in between the transition. That issue side i don't notice that issue. Mine since day one tends to show screen with negative colors (like blues and reds) when waking up...lasts like 10 seconds, then everything goes back to normal.

 

[taymur]

Similar with the 920

 

[GohanGautham]

Same with my L620! It's happening since Lumia black update!

Remove your start screen background. It makes the start screen much faster.

 

[realwarder]

8.1 definitely has more laggy moments than 8.0 did. Still like it a lot but they've lost some of the fluid interface. Used to be the only phone that was as consistently fluid as an iPhone. Now it feels like a new iOS update on old Apple hardware. I.e. a little laggy at times.

 

[Mavee Shah]

Damn so laggy man...i hate that resuming screen...it takes more than hours of my daily usage....so annoying...

 

[Nabiscuit]

Start Screen Lag here, too. Lumia 1020.

I always just assumed it was caused by the "Show More Tiles" option...

 

[kukuxumusu]

I am having the same problem. Also, having restart issues with my phone esp with opening camera or taking photos.

 

[Ed Boland]

Same here on my 1020.. nothing to worry about. Once the Cyan firmware is released, all of our troubles will be history!
