Hi, I've seen a couple of lag fixes out there and they seem to be working well. But why is it lagging? Slow rom/internal memory card? Bad FAT32 filesystem as one of the fix developers said in a thread?
I am curious about this because if it's hardware problem then I might wait for a bit longer before upgrading my phone and Samsung may be already working on it, but if it's just software then I like to get a new phone now (from my good old E71)
thanks a lot!

While the 16gb hardware is slower then the 1gb rom used it is not why it is lagging..what is causing the lag is Samsung decided to use their proprietary RFS file system which either does not work well with Android in general or has too big of a footprint aka inefficient thus causing a bottleneck of the I/O
cheers, then what about the leaked 2.2 ROM? Has Samsung done any improvement in the I/O performance at all?
I really like this phone but the laggy issue is annoying.
Well looks like not all galaxy s are lagging. You can find many people on forum without this problem. I'm one of them. 55 apps, adw, no task killers and no lags at all.

i'll disagree with the lag
i'm still using the stock ROM on mine, and i don't experience the lags some people are having.
i can browse fast, switch apps fast, play audio/video fast, launch GPS app fast, and get a lock fast even when the car is moving on the road already
i do leave stuff like Fring running in the backgroup for my IM and video calls, meanwhile the music player plays via Bluetooth to the car Deck or BT headphones, and using GPS to check my route for speed, traffic jam, etc.
email is constantly syncing, set to auto sync every hour
if i want to check the weather it loads up instantly

thanks a lot, you guys. But which Galaxy s are you using? Maybe there is a superior version or....I am in the UK so probably the international version?
i have the uk version, bought2 weeks ago. I noticed little lag, nothing major at all.
I decided to do the lag fix and the phone is now realllllyyyy fast with no lag
UK version from o2

yes UK unlocked version is the international version, the same one from HK, and Singapore and many other countries from the old continent.
Except Korea / Brazil / China / USA they have their own.
I'm finally getting 0 lag too now I flashed to JM6 (I got lag on every other firmware). My Compass works for the first time too. I haven't tried GPS testing yet but my hopes are up. You may want to give JM6 a try.
afaik recent firmwares (jh2 for ex) have a fixed RFS driver that doesnt lag up and fragments, whatever the real technical reason is why Rfs is slow on first generation firmwares, so the "not all get it" isn't really just "luck" stuff.
actually this regular "my phone dont do this ur just unlucky" is just some form of disinformation that is pretty much annoying.
you can check if you get 1500+ in quadrant, you don't have the issue (and IO tests go through quickly), otherwise, you do

The stock galaxy s only gets about 800 in quadrant, but that score is only bettered by the nexus running froyo. It scored better than nexus on 2.1, desire and a gamut of other phones. But I do not read about these phone owners gripping about lag or need to go above 1500 in quadrant. Why?
Frankly, I have done the lag fix and my quadrant score is now 2137. But I do not feel any significant difference than when it was only 800. In other words, I dun feel that the phone was slow before the fix.
thanks everyone, I've got to say this is the most helpful forum I've ever been to.
gonna call Three for a upgrade offer

Umm.. Don't take Quadrant for gospel. You could dump most of the OS on RAMdisk and you'll get awesome scores. We need a few test cases to ACCURATELY demonstrate the problem reliably, because quadrant only tests a few cases...
After installing the lag fix I noticed things were hanging more than normal. Un-installed it and things are fine again. Not sure if it was just something I had installed or what, but my phone still feels as 'fast' as after the fix.
yay!!!!!!!! i found my very first lag today
i had running media player over BT, GPS copilot, GPS mytracks, video Fring, and got the super mario running in the live wall paper
everything was able to funtion properly with some delay of course, with the exception of mytracks and media player
i'll try to reproduce the problem and see if i can pinpoint which of the 2 program is causing the lag (mytrack vs samsung media player)
Quadrant scores really have **** to do with everyday performance for the majority of people. You can post up 2300 in Quadrant and still experience lag during normal use. Think of it like 3DMark vs. Actual game performance on a PC.
Every phone is susceptible to the lag problem as every galaxy s uses Samsung's proprietary rfs format. Also, Crapwiz is part of the problem. The sooner Samsung and other manufacturers get their heads out of their asses and offer their products with stock android, the better. Give people the option of using Sense or Crapwiz but dont force it on them.
It speaks volumes to the quality of Samsung programmers when Launcher Pro is smoother while running on top of Crapwiz than Crapwiz by itself. The sooner the ASOP ROM is finished, the sooner the phone becomes more pleasant to use by those of us who dont need shiny things, facebook/twatter and iphone ui clones waved constantly in front of us.

Personally, i noticed slight lag.. very very slight lag or hanging when opening some apps for the first time.
However after upgrading to JM1, i haven't noticed that at all. Not saying it is solved. This has just been my experience.

We don't know thats the cause.. Someone said the reason RFS was slow is that "it doesn't buffer stuff" before.. But never seen confirmation. So anyone have actual proof its RFS?
I was on the stock firmware DJF4 and this has lots of lag. I have about 200+ apps installed and it usually takes a long time to boot up (esp Appdrawer). And after using awhile with it, even opening phone/messaging/contact lags 2-5 secs.
I upgraded to the official DJG4 yesterday and now the phone performs much better and battery life has improved (i.e. the standby time increased 30-50%) with the same apps/configuration of the old firmware.
After 36 hours with the new firmware, I daresay the lag issue is now gone. The DJG4 firmware also comes with handy task manager. Free RAM now seldom goes below 60MB. I tested by opening 20-30 apps over and over and there is still no lag. And I dont even have a auto-kill task manager running.
Hey all!
Brief introduction, just got myself a galaxy s a month ago....and shifted out from being a diehard hardcore winmo fan for the last 8 years! Android seems to be just brilliant and am totally loving it! Its a whole new OS compared to what ive been used to (winmo) for all these years - so yep, still exploring and figuring how things work on the internals
I've been trying froyo for the last month and it seemed nice in terms of the subtle refinements all across the os. However it still seems very unstable....overloading the ram causes the device to freeze, and then later it failed to boot...forcing me to restore factory settings. Finally, decided to roll back and give 2.1 a shot....and holy hell!!! its fasttttttt! Compared to our beta 2.2 build 2.1 is a world of difference! a lot more free ram available on the 2.1 build compared to 2.2 (almost a 100 megs more on 2.1!).
Anyway, I guess we'll have to just wait for samsung to clean it up and give us a stock 2.2 rom
same here... currently switching back to 2.1 ... 2.2 is nice, had JPC installed... has some cool new features and possibilities... but its still too buggy for me... today phone won't boot and i had to do a hard reset... this is annoying ... so waiting for the official realease of 2.2 and still looking forward to it
greetings from austria
aigolf
same here, switch back to eclair.
Although the 2.2 is a such pleasing experience over 2.1, it certainly is falling short on a lot of things for a daily phone. It also is being quite a pain in the rear while developing apps and trying them on the phone.
I quite agree with the fact that it would be much better to wait it out for Samsung to provide a proper 2.2 version.
Cheers....
Been using 2.2, now back using XWJM7. I have a good feeling about final version of 2.2 for SGS. I saw demos of Galaxy Tab using 2.2 on youtube, runs very smooth (almost same identical hardware with SGS). Expecting the same performance with SGS.
Samfirmware has just published their own package for JPC under the european FWs section. Do you think this could mean that all product code, IMEI, and other related issues with the KIES "leaked" JPC could be avoided and we can safely give it a try this time?
Since i got the phone one month ago i sticked with Eclair, trying several FWs for lag and battery draining aspect. Trying JM7 right now. Still have to find something fully satisfying.
Same here, I had JPC and Doc's modded Rom installed but still had a lot of FC's and it seems to me that the battery life is a tad worse than 2.1. Come on already Samsung! let's have the official Froyo!
Dont you just hate it when that happens
Seriously ?
I have had minimal problems with JPC.
Battery life has been massively improved, lag has been minimal.
The only real niggles i have had is the keyboard locking up a couple of times in the google search box.
Weird Huh ?
Exact same boat. Tried out Froyo and it was far too buggy so went back to Eclair. Waiting on Samsung to push out an official Froyo update.

Some people seem to be lucky but I've had hard-lockups regularly - my first install failed to boot after a couple days of use, I re-flashed and today had a crash/lockup, pulled battery, another one within 5 minutes of use, pulled battery, another one within 10 minutes of use. Only seems to happen when I'm doing certain things though, mainly web browsing / apps that render HTML, I played music on it for 2 hours straight with no trouble and games were fine.
Flashing back to eclair as soon as I can figure out which rom to use (I was on stock until JPC because I was happy enough with it and sick of buggy alpha ROMs from trying to make my 32B Magic more usable).
i have now jpc on my phone and works smootly
How to downgread back to 2.1, and where to get stock 2.1 firmware ???
wow!! this is by far the most active community ever i guess we have a lot of galaxy s users....and thats just awesome ;o)
im sure stock 2.2 from samsung should be really quick in comparison. 2.1 that im currently running works flawlessly and is also really really quick! I consistently have over 120megs of free ram...and when i clear ram it diligently goes back to 200megs free ram....always!
I think 2.2 has a load of memory leaks or perhaps a mismatched kernel...but seriously guys, its about time samsung gave us the stock rom!
They provide the source code, but they probably don't provide a fully stock rom because they don't want to encourage people to flash their phone unsafely.
JPC was terrible compared to JM7.
There are a few things I liked - the browser was making improvements, and high res cover art on the music player, and one or two other minor things, but otherwise, slow, buggy and annoying.
JM7 is the best I've used yet, WAY better than JPC.
I don't know about anyone else, but mine is staying that way now until a STABLE, FAST 2.2 firmware is out. Given how the 2.1 firmwares have progressed since it came out, I think I wont be flashing again for 2 - 3 months... I simply cannot be bothered with all this any more, all I ever wanted was for it to work properly in the first place. It is only because of this forum I've kept the phone as long as I have. I respect those who like to experiment, but I can't be bothered any more.
i'm staying with a clean install of jpc (SF Vers)
quadrant 1098
linpack 14.1
feels good to me
Tried 2.2 JP3 & JPC but 2.1 DDJG4 is far more better .. just rolled back to 2.1 its nice now..
Major problem with JPC for me was Exchnage mail reply block ... well repplied some official mails but recipients dint recd them ....
2.2 not ready yet for Galaxy .. We'll wait for Final release.
i have problems with zsjp2 and xxjpc, and both times i had used titanium to restore my apps. Even selectively restoring the apps, i do encounter problems of FCs, laggy, etc.
i did not roll back to eclair but did a fresh flash of jpc and discarded all the titanium backups. i did a fresh install of all the apps, and right now it is pretty good and smooth, and minimum lag encountered even without any lagfix.
of course eclair right now is a very much more stable rom, especially right now with the voodoo fix, it is indeed very tempting. however, after much deliberation, i decided to stick to jpc, until a new version comes.
p/s: my recovery had been downgraded to 2e and it does not require any signature verification at all, and all this is made possible by Leshak.

I have been running along nice since day one and things got even better with Boushh latest Oc Kernel. Been running that for a couple weeks without an issue. Yesterday I was editing a complex Word doc contract and it brought the Tab to its knees. Choppy input, laggy almost unusable. Nothing smooth about it and it took longer to get this done that it should have.
Have I found the limit of this device ???
did u like restart or something cuz it would be just the cache and stuff acting up ?
Hey guys,
So, the wife decided to get an Android and we bought the HTC Wildfire S. This low-end (or mid-range?) device packs a 600MHz CPU, 512MB RAM and Android 2.3.3.
When we first turned it on, I noticed opening-closing apps was so fast that I was shocked, really shocked, compared to my SGS. This was the first time I was able to actually compare two Android phones. She has been using it for like a month now, and the phone is as fast as when we bought it.
On my SGS I am on stock XXJVO + Voodoo Lagfix, nothing else. Just standard apps installed and LauncherPro (paid). However, I feel that opening and closing apps is not as fast as the Wildfire S. It takes a few seconds to change interfaces, and what bothers me more is that it takes like 2 seconds to close an app and show the homescreen (pressing the back button several times, I don't use Home much).
On the Wildfire S you can browse through the interfaces extremely fast, everything opens and closes immediately. There is absolute no lag at all, really, no matter what app you're closing.
My question is, why is the SGS feels so laggy and slow compared to a low-end phone like the Wildfire S? Is it the ROM I'm using? Is it the launcher? I've tried rebooting it, battery pull and everything, but still, its slow.
I'd love to hear your input on this. Have you guys experienced some sort of laggyness when opening-closing apps as well? Or is it just my phone?
Thank you all!
I've compared the Desire S with and without a custom ROM to my Galaxy S, and for some reason HTC Sense is just really fast and with custom ROM was about the same as my Galaxy S. So I guess it's just HTC Sense.
Install Cyanogenmod 7. Makes the SGS far faster than the wildfire s and makes the Samsung ROMs like JVO look prehistoric.

yes its true no matter what roms ive used but comparing to my motorola nd other low end spice i think sgs shld ave been much or twice fast but boldly its not...even my nokia touch is much better than it.but still sgs rules on screen,size,feel...so i wonder when a 2ghz dual core phone comes out,wat will sgs look like....

I have found that LPP is really laggy with gingerbread update. Maybe, even before. I had been using only launcher pro for more than 4-5 months, and was surprised by the speed, when I switched to another launcher. Some operations, like adding shortcut to applications or even adding widgets would take a long time in launcher pro.
Have you tried other home launchers?
FYI, I have tried some low-end phones (HTC wildfire, Dell XCD 35 aka ZTE Blade) and some decent ones (Nexus S,HTC Desire(not much),SE Arc,SE X10,SGS 2)..
And,I find a proper SGS (custom ROM based on stock+custom kernel ) to be perform similar to a Nexus S or SE Arc.
Since the i9000 launch there was some serious lag problems with the Galaxy S, otherwise lag fixes wouldn't be popular as they were (and probably still are).
Things got better with newer firmware versions but the fact is the problem never really got entirely solved.
Currently I have stock 2.3.4 JVP and after flashing and wiping the phone was really fast. My problem is that as time goes by, and you start installing apps, music, content, etc. the performance decreases noticeably and even benchmarks such as Quadrant start getting lower scores as time passes by.
I've never seen this behaviour in other systems like iOS or WP7, and even on other Androids I believe the problem does not exist or the user doesn't notice it as much as with the SGS.

exactly my thoughts.
I like samsung - i was also considering buying the second sgs, however decided to wait for a nice ice cream at the year end.
In any case, i am disappointed about the money i spent for the sgs.
I had higher expectations - i am talking about stock roms, now jvo, as when im
buying a product, i expect the support to be done by the manufacturer and not
myself, and at my own risk..
And something offtopic: the alarm bug hasnt even been officially fixed right?!!?
Try JVQ at least. It's the best gingerbread rom to date.

i must say I totally agree with OP ! my sgs is also laggy. I am on f1 sgs2 rom. with galaxian kernel, with ext 4 lagfix and oc to 1.2 Ghz. but still it takes way to long, to open apps of any kind... and it just lags randomly all the time. have reinstalled several times according to instructions so dont tell me to do factory reset
I think the best gingerbread I have tried was jvh. app launch was the nearest to instant I have seen.
but I think the most lagfree experience must be froyo jp6 or jpy with speedmod kernel.
and to be honest since jp6 the browser has been a joke... :-(
its said that jvq browser is better, but only on odexed roms...
sadly I think that the support for the sgs is nearly over... and I have lost faith that samsung will free my sgs of lag :-(

Still way slower than my old nexus one running gingerbread. It runs rings around cm7 even. Everything is instant and faultless.

my bad, that is what i am using.
It was impressive at the beginning, however not anymore.
lag is back, the alarm bug is still on, and some recent random restarts started.
I know there are fixes etc - but its worth noting that the hardware will die unutilised at least when it comes to official roms from samsung.
The lag issue is a common theme with the SGS. Not sure how long you have owned your SGS but I believe the SGS still has better hardware but the lag develops over time.
So when I first got me SGS in June last year, it was great at the start. Then the lag came in and I tried OneClick Lagfix based on xda advice. That seemed to work for a bit but then slowed down again. In November, I flashed my first custom rom (Darky 8.5), the used the Speedmod Lag fix. Same thing, good at the start, then slows down. I kept trying a few others (Darky 9.2, 10.1, DebusRom, ExtraOrdinary, Chebon) and the longest I stayed on before noticing the lag was about 1 month.
One of the steps suggested before a flashing a rom is to undo lagfix and recommended to do a wipe as the freshest install. Doing this seems to refresh the speed as it was at the start (so constant flashing seems to make things quicker).
Something also to try if you don't want to try a new rom or firmware, is to undo and redo the lagfix. Almost like defragmenting but it seems to refresh the system (imho).
I have also heard some of the latest firmwares (JVQ) have better implementations of the filesystem and have heard some people not using lagifx at all. Given you have installed lagfix, you aren't that far from installing a new firmware/rom (just back up your files obviously). I haven't been on JVQ long enough to see if this truly fixes the issue though.
Just my thoughts.

This shocking,i had the wildfire,and have to say that i experienced totally different things than you.It was laggy,slow.Then i rooted the phone,and changed the sense crap to a different rom,then there was no lag.phone worked smoothly.as for my SGS,the stock thing is laggy.It gets much better only changing the kernel to Galaxian.
I gotta try that Galaxian kernel. Changing to other phone constantly inhabits my mind, to something more reliable.

Manufacturer? It's not even that simple. A friend has a stock one and it works nicely (for stock). Another friend has another stock one and lags horribly, force closes, freezes, has trouble with dropped calls. The difference? They are on different operators so the crap that they bundle together is so different that it makes or breaks the phone.

FYI, I have tried some low-end phones (HTC wildfire, Dell XCD 35 aka ZTE Blade) and some decent ones (Nexus S,HTC Desire(not much),SE Arc,SE X10,SGS 2)..
And,I find a proper SGS (custom ROM based on stock+custom kernel ) to be perform similar to a Nexus S or SE Arc.

You were right. LP was lagging the phone as hell, mostly when going back to the homescreen and closing apps. I gave TouchWiz a run for a straight hour, playing games, opening and closing emails, browsing G+, Maps and several other apps, it never lagged when going back to the homescreen, which is what worries me most. I still need to try it on everyday use though.
Time to find another launcher. Any recommendations?
I just got my HTC 10 yesterday and I'm noticing some lag right away, I get quite a bit of stuttering when I scroll, the phone is very hard to use while apps are updating because of lag, gaming performance isn't better than my note 5 was even though the adreno 530 is supposed to be an upgrade, my antutu score was also lower than it was supposed to be and overall the UI just doesn't feel fluid/60fps. I've tried disabling some of the sprint bloat. I've also tried wiping everything and installing a custom ROM, but I still was getting the same bad performance. Any help would be appreciated.

sounds like something is up with your phone. I came from an S6 and I felt everything was snappier on the HTC. I had one issue and doing a quick firmware update seemed to fix for me. you may want to run an RUU or fastboot the firmware and see if it fixes?
No problems here, even when the device was stock it was smooth.
