I was really hoping that the latest update would've fixed this crap, but they did absolutely nothing to address the issue. I just have to play on my tablet for now, but I feel sorry for those who don't have a backup device. The game is unplayable on the note 4...
I have the issue as well note 4. Wth, I love how emailing ea on the site pages of the game doesn't go to them. They are not trying to fix issues and certainly not trying to reply. It makes me regret having bought stuff now in the game.
I am also having this problem but on a Samsung galaxy s5. I've tried deleting cache and reinstalling the app twice but no success. Its ever since I started using lollipop. Its so annoying as it makes it almost impossible to catch those green things jumping around my town at the moment!
Yea I've tried deleting the game and reinstalling, I've put it to the SD card, nothing has worked. It is most certainly with the game and with there inability to fix bugs for this. I'm blown away because I know they are making money on this game and lollipop is no longer new, development has ended months ago. I'm sorry people, if I was a developer I would have taken more pride towards fixing this. The app is absolutely beautiful the bugs and flaws are just not being noticed or bringing up concern to fix. They certainly don't read Google play store reviews. Idk where my money went but it's not towards bug fixes. .
Same nexus 6 this issue should be addressed by now....I've personally invested a lot of money Here and am now struggling to play threw event. Want a refund on my farming licence tbh
It definitely isn't Lollipop's ART runtime. TSTO runs fine on Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 with Android 5.0.x and 5.1. It must be something with (device) specific display drivers or the game not being able to cope well with certain display resolutions. But since I know that it adapts very well on a variety of devices from the smallest low end phones up to full HD tablets I sincerely doubt that is the cause.
You'll need to take the complaints to the device manufacturer because they broke the game with their specific version of the Android OS. Even in the case of Nexus 6, there are still hardware specific parts involved that can severly affect performance.
Add me to the list as well. Have a brand new Note 4 with lollipop OS and my game is unplayable. I have rebooted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the game but still the game is not playable. I have an original iPad 2 and runs fine on that device.
I'm running Lollipop on my Nexus 5 and Galaxy S6. I have only experienced this issue once (on my S6, never on the N5) and it was when I tried playing the game in battery saving mode. I turned it off in the midst of the lagging and it literally stopped as soon as I turned battery saver off.

Nope, not even once.
The issue was solved with the Terwilliger update for me. Now that it is over the lag has returned full force. You cannot tell me it is hardware based one bit if the game ran fine for nearly 2 months.
Same problem here. It started with the Lollipop upgrade, was fixed with (I believe) the introduction of the superhero update, ran fine up through the Terwilliger event, then rebroke when the event was removed.

Exact same issue here. I'm on a Nexus 6. I expect this is some compatibility issue with ART.
I expect that when they did the Terwilliger takedown, they reverted some code that got rid of the previous fix.
This is still a major issue for me on my Galaxy Note 4. It makes playing the game very, very difficult when I'm away from home. I dread playing it on my phone right now, cause it's so laggy and unusable that it leaves me feeling tense the entire time I'm doing so and for a short period after until my body has settled back down. Now, I'm not saying Hulk level tense by any means, but it's a good source of annoyance. Thankfully when I'm at home, I can use my iPad, which runs fine. It sure would be nice for EA to release an update that would fix this issue for us.
I am half tempted to "nuke" my town and start over to see if that helps with the lag at all. I am max level. I have all the land and water tiles. I have kind of run out of room to properly place items and decorate that we have gotten in the last two events and last two new levels.

When is something getting done with this problem? I miss playing
