A35 severe lag on lockscreen and other animations

[topigamer]

I've been using a A35 for about 6 months now and I experience some issues. When I unlock my phone with my fingerprint, the phone lags for 3 or 4 seconds before turning into normal. Also when the screen is off, I put my finger on the screen and it recognizes it 2 or 3 seconds later after I touched it. Not just these, whenever I'm scrolling through social media, tried to exit an app, wanted to see recents apps, get out of a fullscreen game; it's animations sttuter even if I'm using 120hz. Is there a way to solve this issue? I was hoping that they solved these issues for the midrangers (Yes, not just this one but the whole A series try to bear this laggy experience) with One UI 7.0 but I updated 2 days ago and its still the same laggy phone I was using. The phone I used before this one was way more cheap and had way more worse software but it still managed to maintain animations properly or recognize my touch when it landed, not 2 sec later.

There are tips you can check online on how to make performance a little smoother.
But you can't really expect an underpowered processor inside the A35 to perform perfectly.

Those tips are mostly what I did already.. Thanks for the advice

Factory reset

Clear cache from recovery mode. Experienced this on my A34 (when it lagged so bad even on 60hz) so I cleared out the cache partition.

tried this one, didn't work. Maybe its really about processing power

[matthius]

It's not. Maybe try turning off RAM Plus? Sometimes it is the cause of lag issues. Also it's normal when on AOD the fingerprint takes a while to start.

Also if you just now updated to One UI 7, try launching light apps as it's still settling in

nah not just the aod when the screen is completely off or just on it just recognizes later. I cleared the cache its so much better now but the lockscreen and fingerprint issue still stays
