My sgs running android 2.2.1 and a tricked out kernel is smooth as butter, easily as smooth as my 4th Gen iPod touch.
If your screen looks jerky, then likely it is a classic case of JoOSoS....Jerk on Other Side of Screen.

Based upon some pf your past posts below .
I would guess that the problem is .
One your phone has a defect
or Two somehow you have defected it
or Three you have a defect .

Beta 1.3 is awsome no problems very smooth
I'm afraid that my phone will so hot that it takes fire
Can I stop background from moving when scrolling apps?
Is it just my phone that sharpness gets very bad on? On market and on game its so bad sharpness? Even stock is better
Also the apps and pictures on Internet is very pixladed

not really JoOSoS... but Android inside... IDIOT outside

Haha no its not? You think I'm the only one experienced a hot phone? You should check cm7 thread? Anyway I have friends with desire hd, Htc desire, nexus phones and i still feel Iphone is smoother? Is. Hardware acceleration activated? Look at xoom it lags when scrolling thru screens Ipad not why is that? I'm just wondering? And if sharpness is good on galaxy s why put sharpness fix on?

Easy fix. Sell your current phone, buy a wp7 one instead, switch forums then live happily ever after

You talking about Miui and CM7 and complaining about bugs. When it says all over the threads for both those roms that they have known issues. You got nothing better to do?

Non of thes OS'es is smooth as WINDOWS PHONE 7, not Android, Not IOS.
I have used HTC phones, Samsung, Motorola, difrent android phones, the smoothnes is nothing compering to WP7.
I like Android but to be honest, my next phone will definitiv be a WINDOWS PHONE 7, and the UI is, uuuuuuuuuuuuhu, so damn SEXY

What the **** is up with you guys and getting angry? Are we talking about your country or mother or something? We're taking about a system? And google don't give a **** about you? They just want your money so shop defending them like it was your family everyone knows ios and wp7 is smoother im just asking why is that? If you can't answer without getting angry don't answer?

Android is coded with java which isn't the best thing to make an OS with as its bloated. Also companies like microsoft and apple can properly code the hardware with the OS. Its easy for apple as they dont make many phones. It is also easy for Microsoft as they ask for minimum requirements in terms of processor. Its harder for android as there are so many phones with different speed and types of processors.

And MS and Apple dont?
But in general i do agree that Android lags abit more,dont feel as smooth as WP7/iOS4.But to be honest,thats not why you buy an smartphone is it?

I'd agree and ask the question too.
I do have alot of apps and generally the phone isn't too bad with smoothness but if, e.g. newsrob is synchronising, things can get very slow and non-responsive and I'm using jvk.
Live wallpapers with multiple widgets can make scrolling jerky and sometimes with lag of seconds.
Here are all my apps...
http://www.appbrain.com/user/markdj/apps-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s
Sync/ background tasks are...
Tweekdeck - 2hrs
Gmail/contacts
Earthquake alerter
Tango
G talk
Beautiful widgets/weather
newsrob - 4hrs
Meteoblue widget
Aix weather widget
Bbc news
Sky news
hullomail
Tv show favs
Running with tv off animation/flip-flop screens/lock screen.
Maybe I'm answering my own question !!
These widgets are things that ios doesn't have, as well as live wallpapers. Does ios have apps that run in the background?
Please no flaming - we all want a better android, just trying to understand how android works.

Trust me i am not even close to getting upset. I just pointed out this thread as a waste of time especially the man who started it.

what ur saying m8 is totally true , android is no match to wp7 nor to ios in smoothness!!
having said that, its totally justifiable, android experience is the closest it can be with pc. u can do almost anything on ur device, like in windows for pc (on a tiny 1 gh processor with limited ram) ---------> the price is the smoothness.
will i go for another os,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, never, cause i want my phone to do everything

i know what are you talking about. this is all that i miss in my galaxy s - the smoothness. i have also jvk, with sweet honey 3.0 over jvk and it just not as smooth as iOS or some rom i saw on htc desire. don't think i don't like my phone. it's great and i love working with it. but what i miss is the smoothness.
CM7 and MIUI are not official now and have known bugs and not for my daily use.
so.. maybe we need to wait more.

Anywho....to answer the dudes question.... Both iOS and Metro UI are hardware accelerated. There you go.

Just got my Nexus S ATT. My thoughts.

Coming from HTC Inspire btw.
Size-Build is awesome imo, perfect screen size, nice and lightweight and does not feel cheap imo.
Yea its superamoled but wtf at the yellowish tint....why did they do this?? My Captivate looked better and this is one of the main selling points for me, is there anything we can do to get it back to the other color temperature? Seriously....
Tried the camera a bit, not impressive at all, neither was the inspire so eh whatever.
Everything is FAST! I love it!
Stock Android!!! Woooh! No Blocking of Apps! Woooh!
Wifi seems a bit slow, it started doing a restore off the bat and downloading all my apps from the inspire and even the background! wow! Really cool feature that I had no Idea about, but some apps installed and then I kept getting a bunch of errors saying "insufficient memory" I guess I gotta do them one by one...
Thats pretty much it, Im satisfied but the screen tint is kinda leaving a bad taste in my mouth, the SuperLCD seemed more sharp and brighter then this and the whites were WHITE and the blacks werent too shabby either, dunno wtf is going on as the Screen on my old captivate was great and I loved it, this is eh...

Really hoping I didnt make the wrong choice here, the Xperia arc I had my eyes on and the only thing it didnt have was a FFC and I can live without it, beyond that I like the looks, bigger screen, lighter weight, on the arc better and sony unlocked the bootloader on their new devices so updates will come regardless, way better camera, I just dont know about this whole screen thing....

i just got mine today, so thought i'd chime in too.
build quality: not cheap imo, the ergonomics dept should pat themselves on the back. feels just right
doesn't feel laggy
sensors problem. compass seems a bit off, and the best gps lock i've had is 10m error after about 60s. i stood outside and waited, no lock. resorted to downloading gps status and downloaded the additional gps data. this seems to be the only way it's locked on. compared to a desire, this is hella slow and crappy for gps.
camera quality, i think for a phone it's good enough. for the ffc, so it's vga, but at what resolution does skype mobile use? what's that? it's not working? oh well. i think vga is fine for video calls. anything else is just additional cost.
about to test with music and haven't put a sim in yet to test the phone.
i bought it for development, so i'm now going to start messing about with it, but the phone feels nice and zippy, but disappointed with the sensors (will be testing outside tomorrow) as i'm looking to do a lot of augmented reality dev.

if you're going to test sound, i highly recommend using netarchy's kernel (unsure if it works on a I9020A).. but basically put Voodoo Sound, it'll be highly worth it without question

thanks, but i'm going to keep this stock.

You can change the bad color by using voodoo control app on the market and finding a kernel that supports it.

What about a yellow tint? You have it? Its seriously bugging me out...

crap, sorry about the thanks there
no, i don't have a tint at all - i have a 9020. and no tint. i manually upgraded to 2.3.2 - too scared to update to 2.3.3 yet. i don't have a sim in it, so the ota wasn't registering.
in terms of sound quality, it blows away my ipod touch 1st gen, but then again most of my older cheaper mp3 players do so that in itself isn't saying much! the dynamic range sounds a lot better on this than what was on the desire too.
but still haven't taken the stickers on the phone off yet. need a case!

I wish I could do it without a root, I just cant seem to do the damn root, Im stuck on the drivers part....

My 1st 38 hours lol

I picked this up yesterday so thought id share what I think about it ill try and give some structure to this but will end up waffling.
Feel of the phone: the feel of the phone is solid id say it feels way better then the s1 no where near as slippy or creaks as much. The textured back actually helps but the body definetly could do with being thicker... Just gives me an excuse for a bigger battery . If you have small hands like myself then using the phone one handed becomes difficult especially going for the notification bar or an app thats in the top left or right corner.
Call quality etc etc brilliant... turning the messaging app sideways changes the interface where you can scroll through all your different threads and view whats been said in each which I mentioned because its ingenious. I can't remember whether s1 did that :-\ .
The screen... Where to begin lol. Okay well remember when you went from lcd to super amoled.... The change to the + isn't as drastic but definetly noticeable. Not as blurry with text and brilliant colors obvs... The screen actually feels so smooth lol I dont know if its because its new but it feels like silk.
Music playback is brilliant and once youve downloaded power amp player or similar the s2 is incredible for music playback clear and loud. It plays everything In my library which has an array of formats so thats good news.
Camera I haven't used much to be fair... But im thankful for the flash handy as a light more then anything.
Touch wiz 4... Brilliant so integrated and together not laggy and actually looks brilliant... I actually havent changed the launcher more then satisfied with it. The phone has not stalled on me yet. The s1 was terrible for that straight out the box but this is the complete opposite functionality out the box definetly 10 out if 10 should be a relief for those who had bad experiences with the s1. It has loads of nifty features that you find by accident lol and then spend 10 mins looking for more.
Gps... fixed and works perfect... thats the honest truth lol.
Battery life... I'm definetly a fidgety son of a... so my phone barely gets put down texting calling browsing... Then browsing the same thing again lol this phone holds its own definetly brilliant battery life after I get used to owning an s2 it will definetly last a day... Atm im pulling it out my pocket every 30 seconds.
The browser is super slick on the s2 will give desktops a run for their money... Flash support is flawless... I wont mention what site I used for it though lol. There seems to be no problem downloading files like there used to be on s1.
I think thats about it.
Sorry for any idiosyncrasies or for any thing used in the wrong context
Ive seen a few posts in other threads about the head set quality... Personally the head phones supplied in the box are great they cancel noise out almost completely. if your an audiophile they should be good enough.

Good info man - Definitely helps sway me even closer to buying one. Let me ask this: how does the battery life compare to another device? For me, that's a better comparison as I get 2-3 days battery life on my Nexus One because of my usage. Does the battery double the Galaxy 1? Triple?
Thanks!

Galaxy 1 doing the same thing would not last me a day. Im geussing this will easily...

Xperia X10... How BAD can it be?!

In my urge to find something "different" I'm considering purchasing an X10, but all the reviews say it's just terrible...
Honestly, how bad can it be? Is this just tainted blood from when it was first released on 1.6? Am I wrong in thinking that it's a very usable device, either with the latest updates, or on a rom from the dev section?

I'd say wait another month when it gets Gingerbread and look for reviews then.
Right now, I wouldn't recommend buying it, no matter what custom rom you put on it. There are better phones you can get with the same price.
Ofcourse, I love the design, camera, UI, etc but the screen is so unbelievably bad right now, it goes over anything else

What do you mean the screen is bad? Response or the image on the screen?

I totally agree.
Most of the people that reviewed the x10 used it with Android 1.6.
IMHO, it's as bad as you think it is. But as Mr Patchy said what's the most important thing or feature do you want on a phone?
In my case, I just want a stylish, camera phone that has ANY Android OS in it be 1.6, 2.1 or 2.3, so with or without the GB update, I am quite satisfied.
Of course, any new features are welcome.

Well yes....but not 1.6. If you can remember 1.6 the screen was terrible!!! But since 2.1 SE adjusted colors and made it a very nice display imho. But, yes I to find it important to have a quality camera on my phone....big big reason why I ditched my nexus one for my very first X10. Then everything else just fell in place.

I need a quality cam, reliable signal, decent battery life, and a usable messaging system, with an accurate keyboard.
That's about it.

Camera, signal, and battery life are just fine. It's not the fastest phone. It's still pretty laggy even when optimized. Things should really improve with the 2.3 upgrade but even with that, there are faster, more powerful, and featured phones out there.
For the average smartphone user, the major downside to this phone is the low in call volume. I've had to purchase a bluetooth speakerphone for the car (which is great actually). Taking a call in a loud environment is awful.

Id say go for it. You dont sound to demanding, and you dont sound like you need the best of the best. The X10 is pretty pleasing in my experience.

I've had my x10 since march. Ive had other droids before and an iphone as well but what i really needed was the great camera that the x10 does have. I've always read people having problems with low in call volume but I can say that i've never had that problem myself. I never used the phone with 1.6, when i got it the 2.1 update was already released, so i never experienced the dreadfulness (some say) that was the 1.6 rom.
The x10 is a very beautiful and stylish phone (specially the white one) with an outstanding camera, HD video and android. I can agree, that the rom (The SE one anyway) is not the fastest or more responsive thing on earth, but I don't find it too horrible either. now that it has the dual touch, the large display is a lot better to handle, even if not perfect.
I say go for it. try to find the one dubbed x10 HD (one that comes with 2.1 out of the box), because it is my understanding that it has a better display module that looks even better than the first x10s did.

If you want to make calls with your phone DON'T buy a X10! The in-call volume still is the worst I ever experienced in my life. All those updates, hacks or custom kernels didn't change anything. When you aren't in a church or library understanding someone is a challenge.
Sent from my X10 using Tapatalk

One thing to consider is how long you plan to use this phone. The X10 Is about to receive android 2.3. This however will be the last official android upgrade that it will receive. I'm close to the end of a 2 year contract so this is not such an issue for me. Granted if you are planning to use a custom roms it won't be a big issue for you either.

It's stability ranges from no issue's at all to overheating, "usb & chipset" death.
Support from SE is very much lacking.
The x10 does not do well in low signal area's and will overheat and chew thru the battery on 3G.
The camera is nice but unfortunately lacks a flash.
The screen is great even with only 16Bit color.
It's upto you but i would suggest another handset.

Did you use the X10 on 1.6? There is a very big noticeable difference between 1.6 and 2.1. While they didnt give us 16m colors they did adjust the colors. Some of the same wallpapers and widgets i used then and now proove a massive difference. Not exactly sure how or what they did...but something was adjusted lol.

Ive noticed in bad areas it has its problems...sometimes even drops my call. But i most certainly remember my old nexus one had a very similiar issue where i live. When i had the galaxy s i didnt experience such issue...but that was only like a week...and my samsung focus has been by far the greatest. Not a single issue no matter where ive been.

Upgrade from galaxy ace to x10?

Hello ,
I have a galaxy ace. Due to its low dev support i am considering of moving to x10. Would it be a good change? And can you let me know about the problems with x10 whici i should keep in mind when upgrading??

Dual-touch fails, but SE Brazil said we'll get 4 points multitouch with Gingerbread update just like on the Arc etc...

If you can find a cheap x10 say for about £100 or less then go for it. It will soon be upgraded to gingerbread and is a superior phone to the ace by far.
With respect to it's negative points, low in call volume, no true multi touch, 65k colors, very laggy at times, below average RAM when compared to other phones in it's class. With any luck some of these negatives will at least be improved if not fully addressed with the upcoming update.

I don't have any problems with low in call volume. It's to loud for me.

Well mine is ****ing crap. I can barely hear anything when outside or in a crowded environment. It's a complaint many x10 users have expressed and by now it should be clear to all that it's a real problem even if you are one of the lucky ones who don't have this problem.

The buggy dual touch is my one real complaint since I like to play games.. New custom kernels have made the in call volume better.
Another thing is there isn't much of a dev community at all, so don't expect to do much modding compared to other android phones.
Only get it if it's really cheap imo... Though with the update coming, who knows it might go from an ok phone to a good one?

I never had low incall volume My carrier is rogers and this is my 3rd x10 i think it depends where you guys located at..

Uhm, x10 has much development compared to some other (similair/bootloader unlocked) devices

Is there working 2.3 rom for x10? What about custom roms??

We'll soon have fully working Gingerbread ROMS. Stock, CM7 or MIUI. Everything that is Gingerbread will be working!

not at all...
go look at other forums on here,
Even much older android phones.
The development here is nothing compared to almost all other android phones.
I'm not saying that is a huge issue, especially considering most end users don't care about this. It is definitely the truth though. Even ask devs on here their opinion on this. Our community is not nearly as active as most other androids

For how much are you guys waiting? So far multi touch not working at all?
I bought galaxy ace for around 270 dollars. Should exchange with a used x10?

It works great for pinch zooming, but will be better with GB update. But it isn't officially confirmed on their blog.

Don't know where, but SE said the X10 will just get 2.3.3 and not 16 million colors or 4 finger mt.
A quote is on the front side of se-nse.com I guess

I wouldn't trust to much on that because he doesn't know everything about the software!

Hows the battery life? And can it run hd games?

the battery life is decent, typical for a smartphone lasts about a day.
You can run hd games, but only on custom roms as far as i know.
With the dual touch bug, many of them are painful to try and play too.
I'm using wolfbreak's rom, and there have only been 1 or 2 gameloft games I couldn't find versions of to work
