I have seen some of the slowness in web browsing after the application of the leaked 3.1 update. This has been theorized to be slow javascript performance. I thought I would the defacto java performance test, Sun Spider. My run result was 2210ms and I wonder if someone on 3.0 could run the same test for comparison?
In comparison, Xoom 3.1 is reported to have a run time of ~ 2083 and the Ipad2 ~ 2097, lower being better. The TF should be getting results closer to the Xoom and for some reason we are not.

You do realize that you're talking about a tenth of a second here right? That could easily be just variation of network speeds from one minute to the next, etc. While it is slower, I wouldn't be worried about a tenth of a second and I'm not sure how much "closer" you could get without being exactly the same or faster
1980,7ms.
Stock 3.0.1
Yeah after I compared what I got on my Thunderbolt it is quite a small difference so either javascript is not the problem or the Xoom exhibits the same behavior. I would still like to see what a 3.0 TF would score.

That's about a 12% difference. That's somewhat significant.

The AnandTech review was showing slower JS performance than 3.0 as well, wonder what the deal is.
To be honest, even a 12% difference is hard to call significant as you're not using controlled conditions at all. Who knows what was running the background from one test to another, from one user to another. I don't personally notice much, if any, difference
I haven't noticed an overall speed difference, but there are a couple of websites which are very slow coming up and they didn't have that problem prior to updating to 3.1.

Agreed, if it is noticeably slower then the problem is most likely bigger than a slight decrease in JS performance. Sunspider isn't even that great of a benchmark for everyday browsing situations.
TF 3.0.1: 1958

E-PENIS TIME.
I get 1732ms with Aurora
Tf 3.0.1: 1960
Seems like a craps test, ran it three times, first test just ran it after using my TF normally and got 2298 then I killed all processes and ran it again and got 1950 ran it a third time and got 1998 this is on 3.0.1
A (well-known) dutch site also did a benchmark with Sun Spider and Peacekeeper and I assume they checked all the variables and controlled the conditions. They got 1993 on Sun Spider, so 3.1 does seem to be a bit slower with 2200 on average as mentioned by users.

This phone is freakin fast! I know it's running froyo, but this beast got 29 mflops without any mods at all! Everything I did with it was instant response..no pause for anything at all and it was only on edge. When I got my vibrant, the G2 was still a month away. Anyone think the Vibrant will get anywhere near those numbers when it goes to Froyo. (I'm a benchmark whore, so this is really bugging me )

Benchmarks are like horsepower, it is only as good as what you can use and anything more is just tire smoke and noise.... see lotus vs viper...
The vibrant doesn't support the neon instruction set, so no. Even when froyo comes out it will not reach those numbers.
On the other hand we have the best gpu on a phone yet.

The thing is, the Vibrant is fast enough to handle any current iteration of Android. I'm using Bionix 1.8 overclocked, and I don't see what any additional speed would do for me. Faster benchmarks would be nice, but it's irrelevant to day to day use.

Before the Nexus One got Froyo, it was in the ballpark of 7 MFLOPS. Once the update rolled out, we began to see Linpack scores in the realm of 45 MFLOPS. In its stock form, a Samsung Vibrant gets about 8 MFLOPS. I have no doubt in a dramatic increase for this number once we get Froyo (expecially if you like to use custom kernals and whatnot).
The Thing About That Is Froyo Is Pretty Much Designed For Snapdragon Processors, The Hummingbird Processor Is Completely Different It Works, But It's Not Optimized For It
At Least Thats What I've Heard

I thought froyo was supposed to get rid of the lag therefore we wouldn't need a lag fix.
i had the evo at first. was getting about 6 or 7 mflops per second on 2.1. they dropped froyo, and i bumped up to about 38 or 39. i got the g2 on october 3rd from the shack. loved the phone. yes, fast straight out of the box. was getting about 29 to 30 with it, but with its weight, the loose hinge, the crap htc pulled with making it supposedly, unrootable, and a few other issues, i took it back after a week, and went back to the vibrant. there are a few issues with its lag, but i just install a different launcher, take away the animation settings, and my vibe feels like one of the other two phones i mentioned. just my .02.

Actually, it has nothing to do with snapdragon, and everything to do with the optimisation they did to the whole OS. FroYo brings little to the table feature wise, but they did a lot of work with optimisation of the core OS.

Vibrant on balance still the best
the others are right Benchmarks are for wow factor really.
A couple of examples ........... My friend's compter have a I7 980 chip in their computer and Wow... it benches 20% faster than My AMD 1090 But........ when actually using the computers doing the same real life tasks, mine is way faster because all the components are better balanced. That said i have 32 gigs of ram in my desktop and only have two programs that recognize that much ram........ so i will have to wait 4 years for software to catch up......NOW that extra ram is a waste...right now but it does wow the benchmark on the ram.
Bottom line the glitz (benchmarks) are just that........ Glitz...... Love the vibrant Have not seen a better phone to date
If your looking for good games to take advantage of the gpu, try the gameloft website. Sandstorm is one I'm currently pounding.
There's currently a sort of war between gameloft and the android market.

The G2 is not just fast in benchmarks. It just smokes the Vibrant. Everything is super fast. Whenever I install multiple apps from the Market, the Vibrant just hangs after 2-3. And during the installation stage. After I got the G2, I used App Brain to set up all the Apps on my Vibrant on to the G2. It kept on installing the apps one after another without breaking into a sweat. There is practically no lag at all on the phone. It's a very impressive phone.
Now having said that, like the other poster, I'll be returning the G2 for the same reasons. After getting used to the Vibrant, the weight is too heavy. The hinge is most definitely a problem. Lying on the bed with the phone in your hand, it keeps closing. And HTC's attempt to prevent rooting pissed me off. But Samsung is pissing me off as well with their lack of communication and delay in getting Froyo out. Sadly the dev community is not making as much progress as I had hoped with the world wide launch of the Galaxy S. I might take a look at the G2 again in a couple of months if the mod situation does not improve and Samsung continues to drag its feet.
I bought my A500 a month ago because it seemed like the latest and greatest Android hardware. Recently I upgraded to a Samsung Nexus S on Sprint and I have to admit, the overall performance on the Nexus S seems better than on the A500 despite the latter having a dual-core processor, etc. I'm not saying the A500 is a slouch in the android tab sphere just that it seems 3.0 runs slower than 2.3. Any thoughts?
Well, the code base of 3.0 is newer. 2.3 has had 3 minor revisions, as the version number indicates. Also, 3.0 is designed for bigger iron. It's gonna use more resources because it offers more. 2.3 doesn't have much room to grow though. 3.0 hasn't even stretched it's legs yet.
I totally agree with you. The performance is also much below my expectations. I have aGtab to compare with and the acer isn't near the overall performance of the Gtab at all. Even scrolling through this site is very laggy and gives an unsatisfactionary experience ( together with a whole lot of bugs).
But i am keeping on to this device in hope of many updates to come.
Isn't 3.1 supposed to fix speed issues?
Watched a vid the other day about someone who had overclocked their Xoom to 1.5Ghz and then with the 3.1 update, without it overclocked he was saying it appeared to performing the same at stock speed as it was overclocked. Which really just points to the 3.0 code is bad and as we all know rushed
I have a rooted gTablet that is purged of any bloat and and Incredible as well. I do not notice a speed issue, but did freeze some stock apps like the social app and Acer sync, since they always seemed to want to run.
If people have read my posts (FWIW), they will notice I tend to be very picky, so would be posting about it. The two issues I have appear to be the most common for other users too:
1. Sleep mode randomly wakes up (not a lot but enough to notice)
2. Wifi loses/regains connection in low signal bar areas
I just got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I'm comparing it directly against my Asus Eee Pad Transformer. The first thing I noticed is that the touch scrolling seems terribly unresponsive on the Tab. I'm not saying that the touch screen is unresponsive in general, but where a slight flick of the finger will scroll the browser or scroll between home screens on the Transformer, nothing happens on the Tab. You have to make wider, more forceful scrolling gestures. I'm comparing them side by side, and there is most certainly a difference.
Anyone else notice this? Is it possible my touch screen is defective?

it's like that with all HC tablets. seems to be a problem with the browser.
of all the tablets i've used the iconia and xoom are the most responsive screens. i'm sure a calibration could fix the problem, but why there isn't an option to do so is beyond me.
i'm still on the fence about returning my transfomer. gonna do some side by side this weekend. so far the screen on the gt10.1 is freaking nice!
Have not noticed this. Coming from an iconia still feels about the same. Typing on Many forums is a big problem because of the android browser far as I read it is not device specific.
Trying to replicate what you are saying. It could be the delay time in which the tab chooses to respond rather then simply not being able to respond.
Weird...I've had my tab for a few days and Im experiancing none of these issues. I had some light lag on the home screen but found it was caused by a rouge widget.

Okay, I think I figured it out! I only notice this issue when the tablet is plugged into an AC outlet via the charger. This is when I notice poor sensitivity for any kind of dragging motion. I have the white model, if that matters.

I can't (don't have mine yet ), but I did want to chime in that this is a problem that I've heard about with other tablets and Android phones. I can't explain why, but charging seems to interfere with the touchscreen on some devices.
Same issue here, unfortunately. Just got mine today and I notice real scrolling lag and an annoying delay / slow response when flicking and scrolling. Switching between browser tabs also has noticeable delay. I am comparing this to a rooted Vibrant which I've had almost a year that is super responsive and smooth. Expected much better considering this is a dual core 1ghz vs. the single core in my phone. Will continue to monitor this thread in case a fix or solution is found.

Well, here's the thing:
-If it's because it's plugged in and charging, that's a hardware issue I think, might not be easily fixable.
-If it's just all the time, then it's probably just Honeycomb. It's a bit laggy compared to Gingerbread and Froyo right now, it'll get better with updates though.
Mine was plugged in and I was testing the 10 pt multitouch. Didn't notice any lag or sensitivity issues

download multitouch visibility test and you'll see the points lag significantly behind your finger vs the transformer. it feels like the evo 4g did before they fixed it.
i wonder if the lagfix for the other samsung devices fixed this. i really don't know as i've never had my galaxy tab 7 on a stock rom or a rom that didn't have the lagfix.
this lag is driving me crazy! it's like watching a move 500ms out of sync.
I personally wouldnt worry about any lag issues on the tab until we start seeing some custom rom love. I know personally that my captivate was pretty laggy on launch day and with all of the roms there are now, the phone is MASSIVELY different. When some of the devs start sinking their teeth into this thing I think we will all be impressed and glad we made the right choice with the tab! /end fanboy rant
I know im going to get flamed, however I don't understand how we could have such a powerful phone with the slowest 2D and sub-par performance 3D (unless its a TegraZone game)? Yes the phone is super fast, but it has a superior GPU that can't even to 2D well. NVIDIA has said that the low benchmarks are do to the benchmarking software not taking advantage of the tegra's 3D capabilities. Yet they are all based on OpenGL ES. Which is a standard that any GPU made for android should support fully. 2D should have been mastered way before 3D was. Also, to say its the resolution being so high, again this GPU (not quite as powerful as its desktop version) was powering way higher resolutions than that of the Atrix. Also, let's not forget where NVIDIA started, they pretty much made OpenGL what it is today.
I just wanted to get that off my chest. I have the Atrix and love the speed. I just can't get past the fact that my single core captivate with its PowerVR 540 has better performance in 2D and 3D out-of-the-box. Fluid motion across the entire phone.

my understanding is that android is not optimized for dual core cpus as of right now. also correct me if i am wrong but the ui is not gpu accelerated because of the multitude of hardware android has to be compatible with? although things like the stock launcher are hardware accelerated and run quite nicely. (although are incompatible because of our high screen resolution) expect better performance in the coming future. i also have a honeycomb tablet with similar hardware. the ui is all hardware accelerated and it is smooth as can be. i would expect phones will catch up as we get closer to ice-cream sandwich.

Can we see these benchmarks? If you test the phone on smartbench (which uses opengl graphics) the ATRIX scores higher than the sgs2... so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I don't know what you are talking about. Are you one of those people that still believes the PowerVR 540 does 90m polygons/s???
I don't see any slow down in any game, 3d or 2d and that's pushing way more pixels.
Not in games, but web browsing and scrolling can be awsomelly crappy on the atrix, thats true. And Galaxy on Fire 2, for example, does lag.

Yes I am. Yes, I tried opera, dolphin, every single browser you can think of, there definetly is lag. If you cant spot it right on, go to a carrier store and access the same site on your atrix and on the SGS2. Try pocket now, its a heavy website, or stock youtube, or anything you can think of that contains lots of images and videos. The atrix isnt smooth by any standards.

I gotta agree the stock 2.2.2 sucks. I also believed (kinda) the phone was subpar for what it was marketed for.
A week ago, however, flashed 2.3.4 (When Int'l users got some serious love), and coupled with the newest Edgan kernel and Go Launcher Ex, I can tell you the difference is huge.
Maybe you could try that? I apologize beforehand if you already did, but couldn't tell.
Yes it becomes much, much speedier (I did those exact configs, golauncher ex, 2.3.4., OC kernel) but also much buggier. Battery life went to hell, it heated up constantly, and my phone would wake sometimes not recognizing my SIM card and screwing up my widgets.
I took off the OC kernel and left with stock 2.3.4, its still much faster than froyo, and it's, sadly, still behind the SGS2, for example. My comparison with the Galaxy is that it's the only other dual core superphone on Brazil for now.
Given, I didnt notice the difference until I personally compared the two, so i suggest this as a free-time enlightening endeavor to all Atrix owners. A bit depressing tough, but hey, out phone has a fingerprint sensor, the lapdock, and a much greater pixel density (which makes a hell of a lot of difference too, trust me).
If you're on froyo it's an unfair comparison.
Get on gingerbread and we'll talk.
The other phone is always better..... until you actually buy it. Then there's always gonna be a better phone just around the corner.
You can do one of two things
1) return/ sell your Atrix and get the GS2 or 2) stick with the Atrix and stop obsessing over lame benchmark scores. The Atrix is still one of the fastest Android phones on the market.

Ok then, I'm on GB as well. I get 3600 productivity and 2800 gaming on smartbench. I get ~24 hours of battery life (in use). The phone is never hot like it used to get on froyo.
I'm using edgans international kernel on 2.3.4 OrangeFR.
If you don't spend time on your phone, it will have issues. If you search around and are smart, you can run a flawless 2.3.4 atrix that beats GS2 in gaming, and almost matches it in productivity.
Its buttery smooth.
My god you really didnt read anything I wrote...
Im not talking about benching. Im not talking about problems with gaming, and I dont even wanna guess what you mean by "productivity". Im saying that scrolling up and down the same website in both phones side-by-side, the SGS2 wins by a large margin, and that until you've tried it personally, you may not feel any performance issues with ur Atrix.
The only exception to the gaming is Galaxy on Fire 2, which stutters on the Atrix, and I confirmed this on two models. Its a graphically heavy game, but its made for Tegra, and it stutters. Its one software, so Im not blaming this on the phone, just saying... This specific game doesnt even run on the Galaxy, for example...

The productivity benchmark portion of smartbench. Check it out.
I have absolutely no stutter in my dolphin web browser. I'm on the desktop version of youtube right now. Since you have a GS2 in your hands. Take a video comparing them. Make sure you install a fresh copy of cherryblur, redpill, or ninjarom before you compare. Kenn's beta and the OTA are a little buggy and bloated. There's no way that the atrix stutters. If it does, return yours. Mine doesn't.
Its a well known fact that game is gimmicky. Try out backbreaker THD, Riptide, pinball THD, samurai 2 vengeance, guerrilla bob, reckless racing.
Guys, SGS2 has a hardware-accelerated browser! It is bound to be smoother and faster than what we have on Atrix!
Yes my galaxy tab has the same graphics accelerated browser. Its ipad fast lol. Switch to dolphin and its slow again. Samsung are definitely baking gpu acceleration into stock browsers

Anyone else as dissapointed as I am about Asphalt 7? We finally get it for the TF300T months late, after it was blocked outright for no reason with no explanation when other Android devices were allowed to download it. Obviously, it was blocked because they didn't want the negative reviews to hit immediately upon release.
And after all this time what do we get? The most optimized, mind-blowing version yet? No. The exact opposite. The graphics are abysmally far from maxed out, and the framerates are average at best. Even the tilt-controls are unusably innacurate with a perfectly callibrated TF300T. This is a quad-core machine advertised for gaming on android and fast processing. What a joke.
Meanwhile, my iPhone, a PHONE has been playing this for months with perfect tilt-controlling, max graphics and great framerate. What a terrible shame. I'm continually dissapointed by laginess and general unoptomization of the TF300T itself, the last thing we need is horribly unoptimized games that release months late. Android has so much more potential than iOS, but I'm really at a loss for words with this machine and this game.
While I cannot speak on the game I can say my initial dissapointment with this tablet was washed away when I rooted And rom' d it. The hydro ROM is above and beyond expectations. Should come stock on this tab.

Not surprised it wasn't optimized for Tegra 3. Reminds me of how it typically take a year before games get optimized for a new gaming console. I don't expect a company like Gameloft to optimize a game for Tegra 3 when only a small percent of the market uses it. I think the Nexus 7 is the first device that uses Tegra 3 that will move a substantial amount of units. At this point I'll give Gameloft a pass. A year from now I will find it annoying.

I'm continually dissapointed by laginess and general unoptomization of the TF300T itself, the last thing we need is horribly unoptimized games that release months late. Android has so much more potential than iOS, but I'm really at a loss for words with this machine and this game.

Ye I realised that. Feel like I wasted my money purchasing the app. The tilt controls is by far what annoys me the most

There was a recent update. Did it fix anything? Better graphics?

Did you try changing graphics to max?
I like how you guys are going on about it not being perfect, who cares! The game is only 99 cents! Lmao.
Yah, me too. But you can change deviceconfig in the asphalt 7 And make it think your device is an s3 and get maxed graphics, I'm not sure about the frame rate be cause I don't know how to check frame rate in game Haha

The tilt controls are pretty lousy.
