The only android phone i've used that didn't have lag was the Nexus One... I regret selling it now to get the SGS

My froyo feels smooth and the last time I had a bad case of lag/horrible jerkiness was at eclair. Dont know what im doing wrong except using auto killer and launcherpro instead of samsung's default

Use OCLF, Voodoo, z4mod - whatever. They all mostly fix the lag (there is still a bit of lag from low ram in some cases, but perhaps we can get that fixed too by tweaking and unmounting the initramfs after boot....)

Well... I was going to agree, but I've just had to restart my n1. Why? Started to lag! I'm starting to think the lag is an android thing in general. Don't get me wrong, out of the box the n1 is clearly better, but its still there, eventually.

does the official has 512 ram

Grr you RAM TROLLS use search, u won't get 512Mb usable..NEVER
Check topics and you will get your anwser why.

Does anyone here really think samsung is going to fix rfs or the gps? Its samsung, get a life. They are happy in releasing a phone that has a working rom, and they wont do much more about it, dont expect them to release something magical the way nokia does...

The lag was actually fixed in JM9 but it regressed in JPM...

You guys have no idea what you're talking about!
The fact that some apps need time to process data here and there is NOT lag.
If you want lag, go back to JM1, I did, for product code tricks, and it's terrible, I really don't know how samsung could release the device in such a state!
But bottom line, the LAG IS GONE. the GPS ISSUES ARE GONE, if you don't believe it install any earlier eclair and the differences will be mind blowing!
Thread closed.

The GPS is FIXED! RFS issues are also much better than they used to be (though ext4 would still be an improvement). NewsRob is just about usable now.

sometimes i start thinking that samsung has some kind of contract with that fruit company to produce over the top devices that have lousy performance so people start to belive android is ****....

I think the main problem in official froyo is laggy browser..tried Dolphin and xscope they are laggy too..even with flash disabled..

Lag very much still in SGS, open phonebook takes a sec or 2, on Desire its instant.
All the small delays gives SGS a laggy impression.

[Q] Do you guys have any lag issues?

What do you guys think of the keyboard lab issues? Lag with opening the notification bar?
Have you had any? I had a lot with the keyboard while trying it out in the store (although I doubt that phone had been restarted anytime in the recent past). Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izxrt84JeI8 @ 8:00 (he sums up the lag problems in this video)
I like the phone but I just feel that these lag issues are going to annoy the hell out of me after a while...Bell doesn't have as long a policy as 30 days so buying this phone just to try it out is more trouble than it's worth I think...
Thanks,
Elliott

I have from time to time a lag in the notification bar when I try to pull the bar down. This happens most often when I get a notification while the phone is in sleep mode. Waking up the phone and then pulling down the notification bar is often after the second or third attempt possible.

I had the same lag after unlocking the phone and trying to pull down the notification bar. Annoyed me to no end and people thought I was crazy... glad to see I wasn't the only one who isn't blind lol.

Thanks guys. Do/did either of you have LauncherPro installed? Was the lag any better?

if you want smoother scrolling through the menus and whatnots, launcherpro is the way to go.
there is lag here and here but unlike the stock android with motoblur, i can live with this type of lag. it's not even that bad at all - with launcherpro.

Yea...I'm most worried about the keyboard lag which seemed very bad when I was testing it out and the reviewer above said the same thing...what do you think about it? I was making a lot of mistakes because it couldn't keep up.

Launcher pro essentially fixes it

I'm using the Modaco made Gingerbread launcher and experience no lag at all.

I am on my second Atrix and both had the same problem so I guess it is a software problem.

Hmm...thanks guys. Anyone else have this issue? And does freezing MotoBlur/using LauncherPro fix this?

Yes, using another launcher does fix it.I'm using go launcher ex and while the drawer isn't as smooth as launcher pro's (i think because it's skinned), the home screens are smooth as butter, like launcher pro's. Freezing and replacing moto's stuff makes it a really good phone!

He is making tons of mistakes while typing, and it sounds like he is blaming it on the phone. Watch his fingers.

I agree on what you said, but any chance this is the fault of the phone not being able to keep up? I've seen him do the same thing on the Nexus S and not make any mistakes...maybe it's just me.
Anyone else have lag issues?

Does the lag go away with the latest update?

You dont need to freeze anything to get it running smooth. Just remove all widgets/shortcuts on blur since any launcher you install would run on top of it

I heard Go Launcher does the best job eliminating all lags.

[Q] Fix for browser typing lag?

Is there a fix for this yet?
I can't type on forums or anything, even filling out forms is a general pain.
Luckily I have tapatalk but that still shouldn't mean I have to suffer in the browser department

It seems to happen sporadically with me. Really is annoying when it's happening though. Might be an issue with a background service taking priority.

Use swiftkey it's way better but still lags on forums

Swiftkey is out for 3.0? I've got it on my DHD (bought) but it doesn't show in the 3.0 market

It's not a Keyboard problem. Lags still remains using harware dock-keyboard too... Unfortunally it's the status now...
Hope this is solved asap.

theres swiftkey for tablets , on the VIP forum.
is this the same slow down that i get trying to load some pages? it gets stuck at say, 80% and nothing else happens. drives me crazy

iam just using dolphin. No issues with that browser at least for me.

i found there was lag on all the browsers but i just tried opera mobile and seems good so far.

I can confirm this. It seems to be a problem with the way the stock browser is built. Some of the third party browsers borrow from Google's code, so they'll suffer from a lot of the same issues until Google resolves it. Browsers built on a completely different engine won't suffer from the same issues.
If anything I prefer Opera Mobile anyway for its ability to render pages faster.

Same here but the default font size on opera mobile is way too small compare to dolphins and default. That is why I keep going back to default browser.

Nope does not help. The only reason why i have my agent on desktop instead of tablet is because some videos on youtube site will not play if you're browser is set to tablet.

the gl fix didn't really do anything for me.

I have owned every tablet and the asus so far stands a cut above the rest
...........

I've tried all the fixes...some are better than others...I've tried all the browsers...nothing put a real stop to it until I started using Firefox 5 beta.
No lag whatsoever. None. Not even a hint.

But give up flash. Tons of lag as itype this. Lol.

Same problem here.. I was showing off my TF to my Bro who has an Ipad2.. he was so impressed and I was so happy until the physical keyboard lagged as he typed on his facebook.
Any fix yet??

Here's the new ICS keyboard.

Ton of feature rich keyboards I know...but I like this.
Like the huge space bar...less errors. http://www.mediafire.com/?wy2wryijxpvk7q7

Seriously I never tried it before the note and I find it far quicker and more accurate to type, really impressed.
And definitely wouldnt use another keyboard now that didnt work by tracing out the word.

Yea. I used swype on my HD2.
I mean I could go back, but Swype is so much quicker and easier.
I like Swype!

I've tried Swype a few times but I can't get the feel of it at all so never use it. Trying the ics keyboard now and finding it's a bit better at auto correcting spaces which is handy.

Swype rules.

S-pen toggle ICS keyboard
love this ICS keyboard layout (having such a small space bar on others just pisses me off), but is there any way to add the Pen input for it on the SGN? kinda defeats the purpose of it on this handset if you can't use it.

Swype is by far the best. It's so easy and simple and forgiving. I barely even hit my intended letters and it almost always knows what I'm typing. The idea of taping out messages or emails seems archaic now. Especially with the s-pen....it's just such an effortless pleasure.
Takes a day, max. That being said, is love to be able to use Swype on the ics keyboard.

I tried the keyboad but have no comment as of now. Why? Because it still lags just like the previous other keyboards I've tried, if your a fast texter like myself the phone is slow & cannot catch up which leads to mistakes in EVERY word I write, it's a nightmare...
I hope they fix this issue in the next update.
Currently using ''smart keyboard pro'' which I think is one of the BEST keyboards, also being VERY customizable & comes with several great skins, all of which are great in their own way, even the colours you can change...
I think the note will be FAR superior once it gets the ice cream update and will be even smoother and faster than what it already is.

I found it initially lagged but after turning off most of the features it works OK now aside from occasional lags which I assume is due to some other application slowing it down. Its auto correct can be intermittent but I have it turned down as I don't want it too aggressive

Have you experienced lag?

Do you experience lag when using the phone. I've experienced lag during basic operations like working with emails in Inbox, app drawer, recent apps, quick menu, scrolling nearly anywhere, etc.

The only lag I've seen thats really bad for me is when swiping to close apps.

I wonder if it's the phone or just a Google keyboard issue? Definitely not a big deal, but kinda frustrating

I thought I was the only one seeing small keyboard lag lol otherwise everything else is OK.

I am using SwiftKey and the emoji's lag. In the phone app when scrolling through the history - terrible stutter...I mean really bad! Other than those two..which are not that important...the phone is great!

The contacts list in Hangouts is pretty laggy for me but that's the app, not the phone. I'm very happy with my purchase.

No Lag but I have had several crashes/restarts. I'm trying to figure out if I have an app causing me the problem. I'm using Nova Launcher and may try to use the Stock one for a bit to see if that is the cause.

I'm using nova. No issues like that. I've noticed a change since I did a factory reset. You may try that.

Since we are talking about lag and speed in this thread I figured I'd post this comparison between the Pure and the S6. I recommend you take a look, I was surprised at the results. His second time through the test is pretty telling.

What lag.

I get minimal stuttering whole scrolling through screens here and there but really nothing major

Coming from a G4 (lag central), I can't tell any lag. I did have one issue where I apparently had too many running apps/processes at once and the phone froze for a few seconds. I cleared all of my running apps, freeing RAM, and haven't had the issue since.

I've been experiencing stuttering around the device, it's not a big deal however. I think the 808 is struggling with the 1440p display.

This is what I'm seeing. Although my wife's phone seems pretty smooth.......

Since the Google App updated with the vertical scrolling feature, I am not getting much lag anymore.

I Have had the phone since the 16th and have had maybe one or two times when the multitasking screen lags just a little when 1st opened. That's all I have seen in my week of owning the Moto X.
