Seriously, for a tech review site/channel it's incredibly unprofessional. No clue if this is some sort of a joke but he basically says the phone is rubbish and android multitasking is rubbish as it lags. This after good reviews from the same guy not long ago.
Just leave the phone to finish its media scanning and it works fine for me...

Wow, I couldn't even finish watching that. That's kind of a huge user fail. Who doesn't wait until a device is all the way done booting?

i would say the only reason it lags like this is because of the media scan that these phones do at the begining.
he's a dumb ass. what a pointless video.
This was an obvious attempt at trying to bash the best phone on the market. Fail Bash is Fail.
What a joke!
The guy runs a Windows Mobile OS site/blog/video channel. Fanboys will diss other products just for the hell of it.
LOL
He has all those apps installed and an other than stock background configured so he has to know how it really operates. Talk about a BS video.
Thats like turning on a computer and trying to play a game right away. You have to let the damn thing finish booting up first. Honestly if he waited a minute then used the phone there would be no slow down.
Obvious bashing is obvious
lolol...what an idiot.
This was obviously a smear campaign.
I think he has a valid point from a user experience perspective. It annoys the heck out of me that the media scanner brings the phone to a grinding halt at start up.

Yea, I get annoyed sometimes with it too. Luckily, in the Froyo update Samsung adds a percentage to it in the notification drawer so you can see how long it'll take instead of just waiting. Not to mention the rotation lock button in the drawer as well.
Just more reasons to be excited about the update and gps fix.
As for the video, I couldn't finish watching it either. It's the most unprofessional and uneducated video I have ever seen from PocketNow. And this is coming from someone that watches PocketNow all the time coming from years of WinMo usage.
I can do the same thing by hammering Win7, WinXP, Win98 et al trying to load up apps, open the clock, WIFI menu. Its the same effect
"APPLICATION NOT RESPONDING" is the biggest notification I get on Win7
I wonder how Windows Phone 7 will fair? I have already posted many critical points but the MS worshippers there must want to burn me at the stake already!
From the guys Twitter posts it looks like he has a small axe to grind against Android
I cannot post his Twitter link directly (Newbie poster) but his user name in Twitter is adamzea

I don't think is point is valid period. On a cold winter night and day, do you start your car and immediately put it in drive/reverse, do you start your computer and right after windows boot up do you start launching programs out the wazoo....I think his whole purpose was to bash Android. There wasn't one valid point throughout that whole review.
the scanner does suck, this is my 4th android phone and not even my hero would take so long. but either way its a nice phone and that vid is lame lol.

Exactly - Although at this point I'm too attached to launcherpro to go back to sense, the fact that I couldn't use sense in landscape with the kickstand is what pushed me to launcherpro in the first place.

I don't have the audio so please correct me if I'm wrong; but to me it looked like they demonstrated the startup time for Sense, not the whole phone. i.e. Android will still take its usual time to start up, it's just the Sense portion of it (the very last part before you see the unlock screen) will be faster. If that's true, overall it will be a marginal improvement.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
While some have noticed that the "fastboot" was incredibly fast another video showed the phone booting up and taking longer.
Read somewhere, was a couple hours ago, that a reboot was the speedier of the two, not necessarily powering up a cold phone. Is that the case? Maybe I misread, but I forgot where I saw it so I can't really go back and read again ... maybe I missed something. And I probably did, have been drinking.
Pretty impressive I hope this comes to the EVO.
why do you guys want landscape sense? don't see a use for it. But I do like the new status bar and the customization as well.
I would like landscape sense because, if I were to be using a sense ROM, I constantly hold the phone in landscape. So when I go from here to homescreen I have to turn the phone, which is incredibly taxing for me rolleyes and this would solve the issue.
As it stands, have used CM6 damn near the whole time it's been out, but I understand why people want it. A buddy got his new Evo and this was something I noticed. He'd go from portrait to landscape to portrait to landscape and he was like, dude, this is getting old. I had to agree with him. I know the widget solution ... yeah, sure, but it looks awkward.
Ah hope this is released for evo.. looks great.

Yesterday I show my friends Slingplayer and Homerun3D, sure enough both programs give me problems..
LOL Was in a bad area for slingplayer to work (it works smoothly all the time) and was lagging.. Of course he was like "its a cool concept but who would would ever deal with the skipping"
LOL I swear it never does this, I tell him..
Then I go to show him the Homerun3D game and of course it locks up on me, lol
It always happens like that,...
Sounds like Murphy is a good friend of yours!
That happens to me sometimes but only when I'm doing something totally unimportant.
Your phone knows that your friends are unworthy to bask in its warm embrace and enlightenment.
It goes into clam mode, shuts up tight and looks like a paperweight until you put it away

More than I honestly thought. There is a ton of info on the evo that I find useful, even though I'm rooted stock.
I find my evo to be the most reliable handset I've had since maybe before smartphones were around. I still can't believe I haven't flashed and reinstalled my OS 10 times by now and I have had this since august. Granted I did do some playing around with Roms when I first got it. But every since I decided to give sense an honest shot, I haven't been back to custom.
This is the first android phone for me and the first time I didn't feel the need to tinker around with every little thing.
I loved wm 6.5 but it was still wm, and it was full of reliability issues. I still miss my old touch pro 2 and its kwyboard, but my evo is way more reliable.

Picture a layer cake filled with froyo between the layers. A leaky app makes a hole in the layer, froyo leaks up and mixes with the next layers froyo, causing it to spill and the bottom to collapse. The maitre'd named NAND tries to restore it so it looks like the picture on the menu.
One day the froyo got real warm and the menus were changed simultaneously. NAND could not restore it and even the picture had changed.
You see the chef had thought it would be faster and take less work to refill the layers, rather than to assemble and build them when they were ordered.

That being said I use Fresh's rom, because its pretty much stock with some extra goodies.. And full Sense..
I really don't have problems with my phone.. Its just typical with Murphys law,, lol
Oh,i did think of something crappy.
When I first got my evo,i was telling my friends about how awesome it is and how sweet the camera and video recording is, now my video doesn't seem all that great. In fact in 720p it looks so crappy and choppy that I don't feel like its worth having or using.

You can love it all you want, but unless you heavily MOD this phone up (Root + Lagfix and more often than not a Custom ROM), the out of box experience is similar to these.
All of these lag/free/blackscreen issues still exist on JI6 for the Vibrant. I may put a video on YouTube with a demonstration soon, cause it's a myth, apparently.

This is kind of ironic...
I was just going to post how my stock JI6 vibrant is running pretty well; I opened and closed a bunch of stuff in a short period of time, but then tried to open the gallery and bam, my phone froze. No response from the keys, then I went to lock the phone, but it never turned back on.
Just did a battery pull
I've had mine freeze up and require a battery pull just swiping to another home screen.
im running stock ji6, no problems ever, with gps, gallery, lags.
Both of the youtube vids are with the i9000.
Maybe the vibrant just works great in Oregon! =)
I think if it's going to "just work" anywhere it should be either Mountain View, CA or Cupertino, CA.

When mine behaves like that I unload some apps. Even though it has 16 gigs, it seems you really can't just add apps until it's full.
I also suspect there is some kind of multitasking pre-emption problem too. For example, when you install an app, the phone virtually freezes when it's actually writing the app to disk. Maybe it's just a disk format or sd driver problem.

No. these phones have terrible I/O performance. Notice in thr video when she runs twicca it freezes while loading data (most likely from cache). It's due to the RFS filesystem Samsung uses.
The fact that those are i9k's doesn't change anything. All the stock Galaxy S phones have this issue, save for the Nexus.

This is a problem on JI6. Nothing short of a different firmware version will fix the pause when installing apps. Not a "lag fix" either.
I have no problems with my Vibrant. Trolls will Troll because that's what they do, but the 0.001% of owners here don't give a good idea of what regular owners really think. The ones that consistently complain about how horrible the phone is and continues to use it, even after claiming to have sold it or will be, should just be ignored. There is an ulterior motive here.
I have stock JL5, and it runs great. JI6 has a problem with the Gallery, well known and I posted a solution for it already. But JL5 is running so good there really isn't much reason to be running JI6 over it.

First time owning a smartphone and first time owning an Android phone, I rooted the phone on day one, nothing bad happened. All I gained are benefits, adblock, costume roms (froyo 2.2), root explorer, voodoo, etc
Yeah, I've had it for two weeks and love it! I can only imagine how much better it'll be when I do root it. Should I just follow the tutorial on here? And then what roms does everyone suggest?
Srsly, I'm blown away by how rushed and buggy this port seems. It's as if they did the minimum possible to get the thing to "run" on Android.
I've been playing Wordfeud for a long time, and I was excited about finally getting to play a Scrabble-ish game with my friends who have iPhones.
So far I have experienced:
Force closes,
Notifications that it's my turn when it's not,
No notifications when it is my turn,
Random letters showing up on the board that were never played but cannot be removed,
Scores changing randomly,
Games where neither player can play a turn,
Games where I see one score and my opponent sees another,
Having to view multiple ads before I can exit,
and More!
Srsly, wtf. I'm uninstalling this crap. Anyone else have similar problems?
yes all of these ...
A few months for a full iOS port with ads thrown in at the worst parts to make a statement. What did you expect from Zynga?
words with friends blows. seriously.
I get the force closes all the time, I noticed using dev tools that it runs almost constantly even though the person who I downloaded it to play with hasn't played in over a day(meaning I rarely open it). I get the stupid notifications when it isn't my turn.
Wordfeud is sooo much better, way to go zynga!
I had to revert to the old version after updating because every old game I finished and deleted showed back up on the current games list as me waiting for them to play. Then after reverting, it won't stop searching for an opponent. The worst part is its been searching for 2 days and still hasn't found one. So its eating my battery like a fat kid at a buffet. I wouldn't call it the laziest ios port ever though. How much could you really expect from an iPhone app on android? If you take the kid that eats his own boogers and put him in the gifted class, he won't exactly be rackin up the gold stars.

When I updated, all of my finished games came back in the "not my turn" section, with no way to delete them. Really poorly done port, very irritated that they rushed this to market just to beat the iOS wordfeud. 20 bucks says the iOS wordfeud is flawless and sadly, nobody will notice because so many are switching to words with friends. I hope the World Wildlife Fund sues them like they did to the World Wrestling Federation for making a thing that can be abbreviated as "WWF."
Wordsmith free is much better, no force closes, and no freaking ads, which it's why I got rid of words with fiends.

I wish WordFued would port to iOS.
ive been playing on my gingerbread Hero and it works perfectly. the only downside to this game is the frustration when u cant think of a word
i just wish there was a ios port all together lol. SO MANY APPS!
I played Words with Friends once right after it came out, and I haven't touched it since. I just got so angry at seeing ads BETWEEN EVERY TURN. Seriously, an ad every 5 turns would have been annoying enough, but EVERY TURN? I was going to try the newest update again, but after reading the comments here, I might just uninstall it.

Coming from iOS I can't believe how stupid slow and laggy the browsing experience has been for me on this beautiful S6. Wow.

Can people for the love of God learn the difference between Java and JavaScript? I cringe everytime I see this..

Faster than previous Galaxy phones yes but use an iPhone 6 or 6+ to view the link above and tell me you don't see a dramatic difference.

This is the only thing that I really respect iPhone 6. Browser speed. Other than this? Nah..

I've gone to pages on both phones and the main thing I noticed is the scroll speed for the iPhone is a lot slower than my HTC or s6. It may be the reason it doesn't stutter as much. I've done lots of testing with the phones side by and you are making it seem like the iPhone is free of any lag which is simply not true.
Scrolls dine for me with chrome

Apple tricks users. And you feel for it. It "appears" smoother and faster because you can only scroll so much at a time. It breaks pages down in to grids. Its the same trick as how the force long animations to allow home screens to render. Its a lot of smoke and mirrors. And frankly..it works.

I can scroll just as fast if I wanted to, trick or not it's smoother and everything is displayed as expected with no lag whatsoever.

No lag on my N5, however I'd only get the pleasure of visiting the site for an hour before the battery goes dead, so I'd still rather have the s6,

Then you would be the only person on earth that could lol.
Open the page on both devices. From bottom to top flick upwards really fast. See were they both land on the page then you will understand what I mean.

Listen, I had both devices and did my fair share of testing. I've used Android devices for years as well so I know exactly what you're referring to. Back when in JB'd my iPhone I used a tweak allowing me to scroll just as fast as Android and never had any of these issues so please don't try to sit here telling me it's all a "trick" and things aren't being displayed real time.

K lol. Then take it back and stick with your iPhone. Clearly you're the only one this is bothering. Or one of few. So maybe Androids just not for you anymore.

I did take it back, if you refuse to see an issue then you're just a fanboy in this whole iOS vs Android nonsense. I'm basically stating the obvious issues with Android at the moment and I don't see how anyone could see this lag as acceptable.

I just tested it again. The iPhone clearly does not scroll as fast. If I had a third phone to record it I would. If you already got rid of your phone then why are you on this forum trolling.
So, it's not present, but you had to jailbreak your iPhone and use a tweak to get rid of it? lol I've sat down with both devices to show my friends 100 times. My Androids were faster on 90% of the sites. I've done this for years b/c my friends like to bust my balls about Android vs Apple.
Troll troll troll. gtfo kid. lol
