Now that the honeymoon period is over,i have some serious gripes with this phone. first is that the radio reception is much worse than my g1. seems to be a universal problem. Now I don't get reception in half of my house, so I have to use the wifi calling feature.
Next is the gpu. Its just atrocious. does this thing really have a terrible gpu or is it a flaw with the stock build? All 3d games I've tried have worked terribly.
Finally, since I've stared using swype I haven't touched the loose keyboard. I just use it for emulators, which do work great.
Just wondering if others are having a similar experience. I really don't want to return this since I got it for free on contact. Id love it if the gpu and radio performed better.

Only thing I agree with you with is that the reception is pretty bad...but from what I hear that could be the rom I'm using...also, coming from a N1 the gpu on this thing just flies!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Reception worse than the G1, wow. Mine is out of cell coverage in my house like half the time while my N1 has full bars and so does the Z (G2).
Which games have you tested? Ran a Quadant test? Could be just a faulty unit.
From my understanding this phone has the best gpu besides the sgs. i have yet to see any issues with any games. use that warranty and get a new one.
I don't have a reception issue with the G2. Seems like OP wants a phone with the 3G, the wifis, and the "bigger gee bees." :3
what score does the phone get in quadrant? which games did you try?
we need more details
I actually live in an area with great hspa+ coverage, so I'm not looking for 3g. This is why I didn't get the nexus s.
I get really good numbers with quadrant, but it doesn't translate into games performing well. I purchased reckless racing, which performs horribly. It runs great on the last gen ipod touch. Quadrant also runs choppy on the 3d part (like it does in every review).
I'm still using the stock rom rooted, maybe i should put cyanogen on. Anyway, I still love the phone, but these issues are just gonna get more frustrating as time goes on.

Ugh, ran quadrant again and scored a 1259. May be defective. Last time I ran I scored around 1550.

For reception,it might be a carrier problem
And for gpu, the new sprinter cell conviction and need for speed shift both run well,tests done by others shown that the g2 can 't play hawx though
I ran quadrant with stock pre-ota rom and got over 1600 to a little over 1700 mark

Wow! I guess I never ran Quadrant on a stock ROM but I haven't come close to numbers that low.
Running CM6.1, I would get closer to 2500 or higher.
I guess there is a possibility that you might have a flawed unit, but I share none of your problems.
I have ran Sandstorm, Avatar, a bad ass 3D pinball game and they performed GREAT!! If you are still within your 14 days, go get a mytouch 4G or just get your unit replaced. Before you leave the store make sure you take note of how the different areas of the phone perform with the new one.
My G2 is extremely fast. Never would have thought that rooting and using enomthers ROM would make a difference from just having root and no custom ROM, but it does. Fast scary fast.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Im not overclocked because I dont think the stock kernel supports it. I have setcpu but that's only good for undeclocking. I disabled every service when I ran quadrant and got those dismal numbers.
Looks like ill be stopping by the T-Mobile store soon. I may reset the device before I take it in. I appreciate everyones feedback.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I think that's a good idea. I have yet to find anything this phone can't play or do. Also, rooting is the way to go. Take the plunge, you won't be disappointed.
Seems like the OP is complaining about GPU performance based on one game? Try some others. NOVA runs great on my phone (seems like a pretty demanding game graphically) with the stock ROM & rooted (no OCing).
And you can't compare an iPod game with an Android one. Different OS and different code. Might be that game was just badly ported and crappy code.

If you are going to make generalized statements like this then you are going to deservedly get bashed. IT IS NOT A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM. I get outstanding reception. I don't have issues with the GPU, and the keyboard is fine. Follow the advice on these forums, or find another phone.
The only problem I'm having with my G2 is poor reception ONLY when using cyanogen mod 6.11. While on vituous or stock I get great reception. Any one else having this same issue?
Sent from my G2 , Running HTC sense.
After the ota my reception was fine, and this thing has one of the best gpu's of any phone out now. I have never had a problem playing any game.

Disappointment is what follows when you over excite yourself about something. The wait is more satisfying than the arrival. Think of it like a caffeine crash.
It's the already fantastic EVO, just better. What's there to be disappointed with?
the battery last longer?
The new speed is great, but I also think this update ain't what it could of been. I guess I just expected more, but I'm coming from a Palm PRE so I'm good.
This still isn't the 'official' HTC update. Sure it was found on their website but who's to say they don't change anything before they roll it out next week?
Of course CM6 looks better! AOSP will always own Sense.

I don't have any complaints with it really. I happen to like Sense, 40 on linpack... FPS fix is the only ***** I have.
Why not wait until next weekend to start a thread like this? The real update hasn't even been massed released yet
I'm using Ava, which is about the closest we're going to get to a rooted stock 2.2, and here are my thoughts, so far:
-Seems to be roughly the same battery life as Baked Snack.
-Camera seems to be able to take better pictures.
-I have noticed a noticeable, if slight, improvement in overall performance.
-MAJOR improvement in signal reception, latency, and throughput: WiFi, 3G, and 4G.
-Some apps that worked fine in Eclair are FC'ing in Froyo, especially ones that require root/SuperUser.
-I really really really miss the Netarchy FPS MOD. The animations aren't anywhere near as fluid without it.
-FB contacts are syncing properly.
Pretty sure that's it, for now. Gonna keep working and report back, as I'm sure many others will also.
And as I was reading that back, I realized there is already a stock rooted ROM. Whoops. *facepalm*

Well I really am disappointed. I have 2 Nexus Ones in the house and I got my update first. The speed difference was more than noticeable. When I was updating my boyfriends phone later that night, it felt like I was using a sluggish G1. Then there were all the other goodies that came with it.
Since I updated the EVO, I haven't noticed anything really, unless you count the excess bloatware they added unnecessarily. I have to say, I am really not liking Sense at all.
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'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.

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.
A buddy's girlfriend just picked this phone up and she had me check it out and show her the ropes (I own an Epic 4g and came from a Hero) and I just couldn't get over how incredibly slow it was. It installed and opened apps slowly, it changed screens slowly, I honestly thought it was a 500Mhz phone until I looked it up. Now, I know these custom UI skins have a tendency to drag down performance, but my Hero never ran like this and neither does the Evo which is a similarly spec'd phone with the "same" software. Its so bad at this point even she's fed up with it and the only Android phone she's had before is the Vortex which is a 600Mhz device.
Now, I know that this phone is capable of more given its hardware and I'm going to get right to hacking it up for her and getting CM6 or 7 (nice btw, I wish we had CM7 going on the Epic) but is the stock software it comes with supposed to be this bad or is this an atypical experience that if I were to do a factory restore (via RUU or w/e file type they chose to load software with) would fix it?
Definitely unusual, my gf has a stock that she abuses, installing everything she finds and never uninstalling or rebooting and her phone still runs smooth. Might happen to have an app misbehaving...
Thanks, I've worked many an HTC phone and hers is a disaster. I can't imagine what app could have been misbehaving, but I assume it'll stop once I wipe everything and load some vanilla Android goodness. I'll admit, I'm more excited to mess around with CM7 than I am to root around in her stock phone to find whatever's causing the problem.
I'm still running stock on my MT4G, and it's quick as can be. Been using it a month or so and virtually no lag.
My stock mt4g wasn't slow either. But definitely root it. Much faster

Lol, yeah I'm sure performance would be even better after rooting and optimizing, but I'm not there yet. I had my MT3G for like 6 months before I got bored and decided to root, after which I tried about 20 different roms. I'm sure I'll follow a similar pattern with this phone - in a few months I'll get bored and root to start switching things up. But still enjoying the stock experience as it offers everything I had to root the MT3G for. Plus rooting after running stock for a while will really make it feel like getting a new phone without actually having to buy one
I just bought one as well on the 12th of Feb and it's VERY slow. Annoying. I DID run a Quadrant standard test on it and it scored about 1660 which is nice. No matter how many factory resets I do, it doesn't change the crappy smothered OS.
My stock EVO was very fast. Other MT4G's I've worked with are able to be rooted and are very snappy STOCK. This one is slow and giving me a headache.
I am unable to root it with any method available. I can't find Visionary 11, which supposedly is the problem...
I'm waiting for another method to come out. I've tried about 4 different methods...
Install iced glacier rom on it and maybe faux's kernel and you're done. It should be smooth as butter. I don't know how tthat stock is slow but I've played with a buddies stock phone and its still quick. No lag. Definitely a app misbehaving

It seems like a factory reset wouldn't fix any core issue, since there isn't an image kept on the phone's memory. It just wipes all of your user data and returns the phone to an original state, but if the original state is in some way corrupted you would have to flash a known good image of the stock ROM to correct any problems. You can find good post-OTA PD15IMG.zip files on these forums.
Misbehaving apps or hardware problems are not the only reason for slow down.
If you have your phone syncing a ton (facebook, twitter, Qik, weather, stocks) it will appear slow as it becomes sluggish during the sync process.

You should be able to run 7 screen full of active push widgets and full syncs without the type of lag he is describing.
He said he thought it was a 550MHz phone until he looked up the specs. There's got to be some rogue program controlling things. Check out the running apps / services and also check the battery usage.
Finally, if a wipe doesn't fix it, send 'er back!

The epic is a great phone. Its keyboard will drop key strokes. But if you plan on rooting it, then theres a flashable fix for it. I've had mine for over a month and was able to tweak it to the way I like it with just some reading and know how. The screen is great (basing this off of my last smart phone, Omnia 1910) Its good times for Epic owners. Good roms, great themes.... and ummm some kernals.... the fastest kernal i've seen out was 1.45Ghz and I ran it for a week, but it wasn't stable for me. Other users clam it runs great. But they haven't worked out all the bugs in it from what i've seen. I'm running mine OC at 1.2Ghz stable. 24+ hrs with light use but about 18 hrs with normal use (which is about average for a rooted w/ rom epic). oh and I get great signal and gps locks fast.

I hate change. So, since I have worked on specializing NY CM7 for just me, then ics coming out, makes it hard for me to want to go to it. I love my setup as well as my performance here on gingerbread. But, I have pulled myself to download oICSv41 as well as the GLaDOS kernel. Is there any big bugs with v41 I should know about..? As well as with GLaDOS. I know of the reboot problem, but it sounds like its just people using set CPU. And if I do have problems ill just go to mathkids trusty matr1x kernel that I've been using since 6.0. Although none of you will provably care I just felt the need to say this, thanks guys

Even though I finally have a decently running ICS ROM.. I'm still disappointed by ICS. I think a lot of it had to do with the very large overhyping it got.. I mean we all thought our phones would be ****ting rainbows and unicorns, and didn't, not even close. It's a cosmetic re-design with annoying hardware accelerated web browsing..
The accelerated web browsing is so poorly implemented one of the first features I'd love to see in a ROM is the ability to turn it off. I'm much rather put up with the occasional "hitching" while scrolling instead of the "Scroll, scroll scroll, wait for it to render and make the blur go away" craptacular experience it is now.

And that's the story with anything new that comes out. Everyone hears about something new and runs with it and praises it to the heavens and back without knowing anything about it (true hands on experience). Its always best to form your own opinion on things and not let hype or anything like that to get in your way of judging something.

It's weird because the render time is insanely long on the OTA. But, when I had installed Kwiboo's or CM9, the browser experience was amazing!

I dunno, i look at GB now and it look ugly and clunky. Stock ICS is running just as fast (or faster) and stable as stock GB did for me. I don't even have the desire to play with custom ROMs and kernels anymore, ICS is so close to perfection for my needs. Unless CM9 offers something really great, I'm sticking with stock ICS.
