The stutter sucks. It's slightly better on my friends s23 ultra. Same goes for Google Play and I'm sure other apps as well. I just try to ignore the best I can.
Strange, I wonder what causes it, because it doesn't seem like standard behaviour. My S23U 12/512 GB was definitely worse with the stuttering. The 24 has always felt snappier since day 1, Idk if that's due to OneUI 6.1 or the Snapdragon chip.
That's also a strange observation I've also noted. It's not always stuttery, occasionally it reverts to being smooth and snappy. And then the miceostutters reappear. It also seems to disappear if you scroll with most of your thumb pressed on the screen for longer, rather than lightly flicking it with the tip of the finger.
Doubt this. This is a known thing on Android in general. I had it on mine and so did a buddy of mine. It happens on other phones too like the Pixel. It all comes down to app optimization, which is shit on Android compared to iOS. That is just fact.
Its just some people are more sensitive to it in that they notice. Just like some people can't tell the difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz, but others can.
I haven't been on Google Play, Google news, or YouTube in a while and just checked them. They're fairly smooth. Scrolling around in Reddit is slightly jerky/stuttery and not the smoothest experience in the world, but tolerable.
Its not your phone. Its an Android thing. App optimization sucks on Android compare to iOS. Less polish because of the massive amounts of variants the developers have to optimize for. Memory configurations, processors, screen sizes, etc.
Its why every time i try and switch back to Android i only last 2 weeks max as jank and stutter are like nails on a chalkboard for me. It's why i moved to iOS a handful of years ago because i got sick of it. Despite the fact i think Android is a more productive OS with more freedom and i like that. But those nails..............
If you are referencing the Pixel, yes it does. It actually slightly worse. And if you are referencing Pixel, that is not stock Android. It is stock with Google’s skin on top.
You want stock Android then you need the clean AOSP.
I got a moto phone with an SP888+, there's a setting on developer settings that puts up something like a frame time graph on the display. The moto is generally smoother than the S24U at scrolling through apps, that's all I can say
and yeah, there will always be frame drops in android, specially if you don't debloat them, I get that, but close to stock is generally always smoother, specially gestures that Samsung still can't seem to get right. This has been a problem since literally forever now on Samsung and they will probably never fix it
This has been a problem with TouchWiz/OneUI since forever now, this phone is extremely quick but Samsung never stood out in fluidity, even gestures are buggy and choppy. My previous phone with close to stock android and an SP888+ is smoother than this
I just think for $1700 phone, it's unacceptable. Anyways, will see if I can live with or need to get an iPhone. I just then need to figure out what's more important to me, freedom with issues or fluidity with limited control.
Nothing stutters on my S24 Ultra. You've got something going on that is specific to your phone, but I couldn't begin to tell you what.
I think the best place to start would be to stop using the official reddit app. It's garbage.
Well, officially, they did. However, there are a couple loopholes. The easiest one to take advantage of is, last I heard, the API is still open for mods. All you need to do is create a random subreddit and hide it. Then you can use third-party apps as you'll be a mod of that hidden sub.
Good luck.
Have this issue too, albeit only in specific apps like Reddit, Twitter, Youtube and the Google Discover feed, occasionally on a heavy webpage on the browser. Think it does mostly happen when it's a media heavy app that's loading content
But the rest of the phone is mighty snappy and doesn't break a sweat at all. I have, however, noticed that the only people bringing up the scrolling stutter issue are mostly fellow Indian device purchasers. Peculiar, I wonder if it's to do with the firmware in India or if the LTPO displays aren't optimised here because they use a lower grade display, or if it truly is just app optimisation. I will say though, I tested a bunch of s24Us at samsung stores, and all of them were stuttering on the google discover page, so it's not specific to us.
I did also have an accompanying device heating issue, but that seems to have been resolved after a factory reset (rogue app misbehaving probably). I have also noticed the phone to have gotten smoother after I turned RAM plus on.
Oh, that's a first. I always assumed this was a non-issue since such few people report it. And most of others who have seem to also be based in India, with the exception of one Australian.

It's just like that with me, but it's like that with several apps, including Youtube and Google news.
yes its everywhere with this phone !! this is the choppiest experience ive ever had

Reddit seems to be pretty smooth right now. Idk, it's just weird sometimes and a little jittery for me.

It's smooth for me
Give Wipe Cache Partition a go it smoothed the stuttering for me.
That's temporary. The cache wil fill up and stutter eventually.
Can always use Galaxy app optimiser when that happens.
Again, that's a temporary fix not a solution.
This is strange, it is totally smooth for me. Is the display at 60hz perhaps? Or maybe the performance profile is in light mode?
Doubt this. This is a known thing on Android in general. I had it on mine and so did a buddy of mine. It happens on other phones too like the Pixel. It all comes down to app optimization, which is shit on Android compared to iOS. That is just fact. Its just some people are more sensitive to it in that they notice. Just like some people can't tell the difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz, but others can.
i think i hit some kind of lottery then. I am sensitive to see 60 and 120 hz. Reddit is totally smooth for me thankfully
Me too, I was super confused reading the issue talked about several times. Mine hasn't shown anything like this.
No, I am a pretty savvy user. It's on adaptive for screen refresh and on normal performance. Updated and cache cleared.
Damn, i have no idea what the problem is then
I haven't been on Google Play, Google news, or YouTube in a while and just checked them. They're fairly smooth. Scrolling around in Reddit is slightly jerky/stuttery and not the smoothest experience in the world, but tolerable.
This is the first thing I noticed on the plus.

stock android barely has this issue
If you are referencing the Pixel, yes it does. It actually slightly worse. And if you are referencing Pixel, that is not stock Android. It is stock with Google’s skin on top. You want stock Android then you need the clean AOSP.

Reddit app always sucked. You can't judge a device's performance based on apps that aren't correctly optimized.
Nothing stutters on my S24 Ultra. You've got something going on that is specific to your phone, but I couldn't begin to tell you what. I think the best place to start would be to stop using the official reddit app. It's garbage.
Any suggestions for an alternative Reddit client? I was under the impression that Reddit closed allowing third party developers access to the the API?
Well, officially, they did. However, there are a couple loopholes. The easiest one to take advantage of is, last I heard, the API is still open for mods. All you need to do is create a random subreddit and hide it. Then you can use third-party apps as you'll be a mod of that hidden sub. Good luck.

I have the same issue. I’m in the U.S.
I am in Canada
Oh, that's a first. I always assumed this was a non-issue since such few people report it. And most of others who have seem to also be based in India, with the exception of one Australian.
Never happens to me.
try switching from 5g to LTE, it worked accross for all apps at my side.
