Why does the Vibrant lag so much?

Just wanted to know what the REAL reason is for the Vibrants Lag is? software or hardware. running test like CPU Benchmark,Quadrant Standard or Linpack. Seems to run a lot slower then almost all phones. like the G2 or the Mytouch 4G. Just to name a few. Thought The Cortex-A8 Hummingbird CPU was going to make the Vibrant super fast but that does not seem to be the case! I love my Vibrant and games run awesome on it for the most part but it sure lags up a lot! Rooted stock ROM with the T959UVJI6 Update. and using Launcher Pro Plus. Still love my Vibrant but would like to know why so slow on test and why so much Lag?
And I know there is a Lag fix but seem to be issues with that too. Thanks a million

You're comparing Eclair to Froyo and, in the G2's case, vanilla Android. Try running one of the Froyo builds and see if you have any lag. I'm running the Obsidian Froyo based on the T-Mo leak and have run Eugene's and both run with zero lag.

he's just a troll. everyone who used both knows full well that the Vibrant is way faster.

Not a freaking troll! Lol just wanted to know. Thats all no bigs. I love my Vibrant and not dissing it at all.was just asking a question since this the Vibrant Forum and all!

Yes, you're trolling, but I can't resist myself.
I had a G2. Traded it in for a Vibrant.
Enjoy your dust-collecting screen, crappy hinge, inability to flash roms, INCREDIBLY bad camera, and random hard resets.
Also, the G2 keyboard is a sad shadow of the Cliq keyboard.

pierre and darkside is probably the same kid lol. G2 sucks balls. My friend has it and it is freakin slow. The whole os lags lol. It gets what, 33 FPS on Nenamark? we get over 55 lol

Oh yeah, and good luck sending any text messages that have "stop" in them on your g2.

Sense 3.0

Do you think custom ROMs will allow us to have HTC's Sense UI 3.0 on this phone?

Oh... boy... here we go.. i admire you for having the balls to ask about Sense UI in Samsung thread. Hehe. Short answer is NO!!!

I'd love to have it, with the recent reports showing the horsepower that it have coupled with Sense 3.0 that would be the perfect phone to have

If people want the HTC Sense experience then they should look at a HTC Phone. Although a Port is possible, its very time consuming and by the time someone actually port's it over with all the drivers working, your device will be close to the yearly refresh and you will want the next best thing. This will leave the developer in a limbo where his efforts didnt truly pay off.

It's not possible, Galaxy S is half baked, Nexus S also try, half baked. Samsung uses totally different structure on android Nexus S can't even port TouchWiz and its the same manufacturer. I would love to get S II spec wise it blows the Sensation out.

I see you have a Motorola Atrix 4G. What do you think about it? I'm in doubt between Atrix, S II and Sensation.
Thank you!

Ugh, how can people even like Sense. It is the worst android UI out of all the custom ones out there.

Id say its all about taste. Personally I think motorola's UI is the worst, followed closely by the apple wannabe touchwiz. Funny, I actually hated sense as well at first, but now that im using it for a while, I LOVE IT.
Also, its because htc has added soooo much functionality, like finding/wiping/ringing from anywhere(laptop) incase its lost, or stolen, etc. Plus auto-backup of messages, apprx 100 very useful widgets, plus may apps wich save you a lot of time if you had to download one by one. Basically, its a complete package that looks good and offers functionality that no other manufacturer can even come close to, especially being built in from start. no headaches. I myself wish it could be ported but I doubt, especially with how "involved" its gotten lately

I had a Galaxy S, then Atrix and now Inspire. Next I'm buying Galaxy S II because the bootlogger is unlocked and I want the light weight, dual core processor power and video enhancements.
The Inspire is amazing. I like it far better than the Atrix because I can put custom roms on it. I was able to root the Atrix and do a few modifications but it was very limited. I strongly recommend the Inspire.
The Sensation is locked down as is the Atrix. If you want a good out of the box phone Atrix is as good as you get until the Galaxy S II arrives. Sensation will be great but probably about the same as the Galaxy S II.
It is hard to recommend a phone without knowing what you do with your phone. For me the unlocked boot logger is the difference between buying and not buying.

Personally I prefer Sense.I think that Samsung have basically copied the iPhone in design and UI. If someone could remove the native Samsung bloat and add sense, all would be good in the world(for me at least)

Couldn't have put it better, dude. trouble is, can we have the best of both worlds?
Sent from my RafDroidHD using Tapatalk

I think we can. If enough people that have bought a SGS2 ask for sense then I am sure someone(developer) will be willing to design it for SGS2. From what I have seen of custom roms so far, I think that there are some more than capable developers out there that could do it. If I could write code I definitely would(perhaps I should start learning. The only question is can an old dog(me) learn new tricks?????)

Thinking of switching phones. Help with another option?

I love the My touch 4G to death, but my wife doesn't seem to like it much. So, I'm need to find something to replace hers. Her's is being used unlocked on AT&t. So, does anyone have any suggestions? On eBay I can sell it for $200-240 so, i'd like to sell it and buy a replacement. It needs to be GSM (AT&T or T-Mobile phones are fine), in my price range and have similar specs. I have really can't think of anything. She hates it so bad she's using her old Samsung Magnet until I find her something :/ lol

It'd help to know the specific things your wife does not like about the MyTouch 4G.

She can't make text messaging signature and it doesn't have a keyboard :/
I've already talked to her..... There is no reasoning.

I've never heard of a text messaging signature before.
Good to know about the other thing, though. So the only requirement is a hard keyboard?

Stick with the my touch..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

For the text message signature she could try using Go SMS Pro in the market.
The only gsm android phone I can think of with a keyboard is the G2. I've used it in the past though and found it to be slightly slower than the MyTouch due to the smaller ram and lower processor speed. I agree that she should stick with the MyTouch.

So no need to change the phone, just change the ROM.

If anything don't get the g2 I had it. It's slow as hell outside the stock Rom. Has a good build quality to it though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

if she wants to have a physical keyboard then your gonna have to switch phones, id say go for the mytouch 4g slide just cuz it would be a more familiar platform and cuz the g2 would be a downgrade in hardware

Hard to imagine not liking the phone over those two reasons. Swype is so much better and faster than conventional texting. And as for the signature, I'm not rooted and I use GO SMS. As already mentioned, it has the option to add a signature. Plus it's much better than the stock text. JMO. Each to their own I guess.

After a solid year with my MT4G (which I am still in love with...) I just bought the GSII
Have to say so far, this phone's bad ass.

Haha, thanks man appreciate that. I just wanted a change, and a slightly bigger screen.
And in anticipation of ICS, I figured a dual core processor like the Tegra2 would be better to run ICS. And I like the build quality and hardware of the G2x. Pretty top notch. Plus the re-sale value is better, I hate how the MT4G is so cheap nowadays.

So you haven't had any issues with the G2X? Currently I'm choosing b/t the G2X & Sensation, but I'm not really sure which is better. I thought G2X had backlight bleeding or something like that. But, I'm leaning to the Sensation since I wanted a higher res.

No, G2x has been perfect so far. I love the Tegra 2 because it never heats up with light useage like Snapdragon's. And the build quality and external speakers are great. I have slight screen bleed on the top right. But I don't notice it unless the screen is all blacked out with high brightness. So it's no real issue.
I would probably chose the Sensation because oh the qHD and slightly bigger screen. But the G2x is great too.

Mostly because it's VERY hard to adapt a whole different framework and kernel across different manufacturers. Even with the same manufacturer it isn't always easy (Nexus One still doesn't have a proper Sense 3 ROM, while its cousin Desire has it running stable for months - because kernel adaptation without source isn't easy).
Too much work, too little to gain.

hey guys get a htc doubleshot

hey guys ur current phone the g2 is kind of outdated and i think u guys should get a mytouch 4g slide. tmobile is giving out the mytouch 4g slide as a replacement. the mytouch has a cm7 rom, a sense 3.0 rom, multiple ics roms, and recently it got a miui rom released. i really think u guys should consider gettin this phone because it has a keyboard like the g2 and its super fast.

I have a samsung galaxy s2. I have the g2 as a backup phone.

Exactly, I'm holding out for that. Besides, it will be a world phone (other versions of it like the Desire Z vs G2) instead of the MyTouch plasticy models for US specifically. Looking forward to those 2nd (maybe 3rd?) Gen dual cores with significant power saving and GPU upgrades like in the Ville this summer.

What an amazingly useless post.
