This happens consistently on my old phone. Both the new and old one are Samsung, but the latter is 3 or 4 generations behind the other. I'd say it is a software issue lagging down the user input. Not many solutions I can think of besides resetting it or looking for a ROM but I wouldn't recommend that unless you are very phone savvy.

Finger Tracking Lag When Spinning/Throwing Pokeballs?
Hi all, so I just got a new phone (Honor 7x - I'm pretty sure it's an Amazon-exclusive brand) and was really excited to have a better PoGo experience, since it has better specs than my old phone. However, I've noticed that whenever I try to spin a pokeball for a curveball or throw the pokeball, the ball seems to lag behind my finger a bit. I didn't notice this issue on my old iPhone 5s, but the screen was a lot smaller, so maybe it did have that issue and I just didn't notice. Anyway, has anyone else experienced something like this? Is it something normal that I just need to get used to, or is there a fix of some sort? The game runs smoothly otherwise.
