No its not. I've never experienced any of those problems out of the box.

Sounds like you've got a poorly behaving app running and slowing things down. Grab an app called OS Monitor or similar and see if you can see anything running up the CPU.
My NS is the snappiest, most responsive phone I've owned to date; it's even better than my Galaxy S i9000 on Froyo.

Its gingerbread

Nexus one, froyo laggy

My nexus one became laggy recently with slow response to key depressions when typing emails and texts, changing between apps. Wiped the device clean and started again and all is well again.
Have you experienced this behavior on your N1? And if so is there an app or a diagnostic tool that we tell me whats going on? As now i have to reconfig it. Thanks.

probably something you recently installed slowing it down.
Wish i knew what, as i've put everything back on now.

System Panel will show if there's a particular application that's using CPU... Is the phone getting warm often or staying warm? That's the obvious indication the CPU is spinning..
I don't recall it getting warm. Well it's better now. I'll check the processes running next time it starts being laggy. Thanks for the tips.

Has your S3 frozen several times?

My phone has frozen like 4-5 times since the first day I got it...
Nope.
nope...
Mine hasn't frozen, but sometimes have to turn wifi on and off a few times to connect to my router
Possibly found some info on the wifi androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/574442-samsung-galaxy-s3-wifi-problem.html

After 3 full days of use and having loaded and tested about 1.5GB of apps, I've not had a single hiccup.
So far I don't have a single complaint about the S3.

My phone is seamless. Every once in awhile though, XDA seems to be a bit choppy. But nothing else.

no issues here. had it sence monday been running like a champ. batery lasted 14hrs so far with emails updating every 15 min and surfing the net from time to time at work all on 4g . love this phone and wish it was unlocked
Has frozen once or twice, but I think it may have been on Power Save at the time. Have you used that feature at all?
Also, Apex launcher crashes quite a bit. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue or what.

I've had multiple apps crash on me over and over. Stock phone.

Nope. And I use it quite heavily too.
Hmm..the only app that has lagged so far is XDA app, and seems few of you guys had that experience too. Wonder if this is a compatibility issue or coz all of us are in the XDA app all the time:laugh:
16days and not 1 problem.

Straight butter here, I don't even think I've had a FC yet, and I've had mine since launch. Battery lasts me ALL DAY no problem and performance all around has been flawless.
I am rooted on stock rom if anyone is wondering.
MANY apps freeze for me all the time, and it's stock, and use atk but still same issues.

Why in the hell would you use ATK? That app was barely useful in 2.1, let alone 4.0.4

Nothing. Android has an amazing memory management system. If you must close all apps, hold Home, click remove all. Then hold Home, click Task manage, go to ram, and hit clear memory. This is only necessary if an app is rogue and causing battery drain though.

Q for all-Do you back out or hit home?

The reason I'm curious is because my wife never backs out, she always hits home, and out of habit from my older androids, I always back out as to completely kill the app... She's 100 percent stock, and there's something about the way her phone feels that mine just doesn't have, like a little added smoothness.
What do you guys do, and why?
P.s. I'm using stock kernel...

Lol. I hit home, but I use the recent apps list often. If I see something open that I won't be using for a while, I fling it away. My phone is as smooth as butter.
Thanks for the reply.. I know it's kind of a goofy thread, but I'm genuinely curious as to what the majority does... Thanks

I always back out, unless it is the browser and I want to keep the page(s) up.
Try settings/ dev options/ and turn off or change to .5 for all animation scales.

Used to back out on my older phones but with the Nexus 4 I honestly don't notice any speed difference between the two, so now I just hit home most of the time.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
i do both. out of habit i back up until the end but i also just hit home at times.
I always back out. My wife hits home, and her galaxy nexus feels faster than my Galaxy Nexus sometimes. Mine is rooted, hers isn't.
Although, now that I'm on aokp, with lean kernel, my phone now always feels faster than hers. I was on cm 10.1, which felt slower than stock, sometimes.

I think i need to hit home more, and definitely use the recents key more as well... Being that I've always owned phones from the galaxy line, I wanna develop new habits. I appreciate your input guys.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I too always back out out of habit coming from as far back as the G1. Probably always will regardless of the fact that I'm sure it doesn't matter any more. Android has grown up a lot.
im not sure if you can do this with stock but i set long press on back to completely kill the app. I use this for some apps that i dont want to run in the background but most of the time i use the home button

Keyboard lag, home page and app draw lag anyone?

Anyone here suffer the occasional keyboard lag? How about pressing a single letter will cause you to type that letter multiple times?
How about when you're flipping through your home pages or app draw you get that transition lag?
I'm getting lag way too often with my phone I'm considering it taking it back and trying out another one see if it act the same. So far my experience with this phone has been rather disappointing considering the lag.
There's even a thread here about the Play Store lag when you choose an app then it takes a few seconds for the app to pop up. I'm even getting that lag.

I have experienced the same issues on my Vzw version. Lots of weird issues popping up the last few days.
The play store is having some issues right now so I haven't compared that yet.
I have none of these issues and I'm on week 3 with the phone. AT&T.

I'm on CleanRom for the last 3 or 4 days. Just trying to narrow down these issues. First 2 weeks I didn't see these problems. I think I may go back to stock and see if that clears things up any.

I just returned my phone and i'm currently on the new one. First thing I noticed different was the RAM consumption was extremely high on the first unit. I only had about 250 MB available with this new phone I'm up to 850 not sure that was the issue but we shall see.

I have noticed that once this device hits about 400mb of free ram it starts to lag very bad at 300 its un usable, mine sits at 780 after a reboot and around 550 after about an hour, also if you dont kill the sms after say 30-40 text the keyboard gets very slow, the ram optimization on this phone is absurd and absolutely ****, this is the only thing holding this phone back from being epic

No.... But the word "bloat" is used so loosely here on Xda. Exactly what is bloat? Is bloat just an app that actually bogs down your phone or is it just an app that people don't use but the carriers force upon you?
Cause really I don't see how an app that's not running really slow down a phone with this kind of specs.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
The keyboard problem has nothing do to with "bloat" and more of a problem in the keyboard itself and its odd how the phone was a monster for 2-3 weeks and now is buggy even with a factory reset, about 3 weeks is what im seeing on here when some ppl are seeing problems come up, im on att btw.

I agree. Bloat is more of the second scenario you mentioned above. It shouldn't slow the phone down at all but unfortunately carriers tend to ruin these phones more than help them out with their software doing all kinds of stuff in the background
This is why the note 3 and S4 are suffering from lag issues even though technically they shouldn't be considering what's under the hood spec wise as well

It's not carrier related either. Because my Vzw version is doing the same things the at&t version.

Note3 and s4 lag cuz of touch wiz has nothing to do with the amount of apps.
Here's a bit of an update:
Well I returned the original phone this morning because of all the issues I was having in the original post.
So far so good with the new phone, been playing with it for hours since I got it and everything appears silky smooth there's definitely a night and day difference even while the available RAM still seems kind of low.
I might have actually got a detective phone.... I'm recommending anyone who has any of these issues and are still return within your return policy, to just get another phone while you can.

This is exactly correct. The S4 and Note 3 lag has absolutely very little to do with bloat. It's because Touchwiz isn't even optimized for Jelly Bean yet. It's trash.
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda premium
I experience little lag. Nothing major, maybe because of Nova launcher that the I use and the SwiftKey keyboard rather than stock.
Lately I have been experiencing weird issues with playstore freezing up. I read somewhere Google is experiencing problem with their service so it is probably not the phone.
-LG G2
weird.. had mine since launch day, rooted now, removed all bloat and i never have lag. using swiftkey though so idk about keyboard lag, but that stock keyboard seemed pretty sweet

Hangouts - Supper Laggy

Is anyone's Hangouts super laggy in the beginning when it's loading all the SMS's?
Whenever I close all my apps and start it up again, it takes like 5 seconds to load up. Maybe not too long, but obviously with the processor we have it should definitely be faster. Anybody suggest a fix if they have fixed it, or just somebody experiencing the same?
And by laggy, i mean it's just a white screen until the sms's are loaded, and then it's smooth as butter for me.
-Side note, My WIFI turns ON randomly even though I don't touch the phone.... odd.
You have to realize that no matter what kind of power you throw at it this phone is 3 version behind in android now. Optimization is the key thing here.
