[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
My Note is smooth in most cases. The main slow down/slight lag is when the phone has not been used in an hour or so. When you first unlock it then navigate through the menu or go to make a call, there will be a slight delay when unlocking the phone and pressing the dialler...

As I said this only happens when you've not used the phone in a while, it takes a while to ''wake up''

Apart from this it's pretty smooth and quick.

And yes, also desperately waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich as I'm hoping it should make full use of the Note and improve overall use, speed and performance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] katyarevishal:
Really ??? I dont think so.....rather i would be optimistic by saying over a time,

gud optimised ICS will make the device way more smoother......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] martcerv:
Optimisations will make the note smoother, but won't those same optimisations also make their way to the gs2? So if you run the same software on both phones with similar hardware only real difference is a slight cpu speed boost and huge pixel difference	then I think the gs2 will always be ahead of the note.

Or do people think that these optimisations will only effect the note? I love my note and I'd sacrifice a little more performance to get this 800p screen to always render in 32bit mode. I upgraded from a gs2 to the note purely for the screen, gps and res. The pen is a nice extra but not a key feature for me and that's the only differences between the 2.

Id never go back to a small screen lower res device, I know it will get better over time but so will the gs2. You can't get software tweaks to make them run the same, I hate the 16 bit trick Samsung is playing to try and make it run better and that's not what i call an optimization but cheating.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] easycure1974:
Of course it can be handled but it will never be as smooth as a device with lesser pixels to move around if they booth have ICS or GB and the same GPU as SGS II and Note has
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
Not really. I mean in terms of miliseconds it probably won't because sheer number of pixels is simply sheer number of pixels but in terms of user experience - I bet it can. I played a little with Galaxy Nexus few days ago and the difference is jaw-dropping. And it has nearly as many pixels to push and worse both CPU and GPU. It's just a matter of using GPU acceleration on GUI level and OS & software optimizations. Fully optimized SGII will always be faster than fully optimized Note but it doesn't mean that Note can't be simply smooth enough.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] linzgeneral:
My note is considerably more laggy and is now crawling compared to my first week of ownership. However, I am not a speed freak as I am more than satisfied as long as a spinning circle (ala old windows mobile) don't appear when I press a button.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 3Labs:
did this all just changes with the latest firmware released today? I was never dissatisfied with speed but after this firmware----things seem much zippier and others on the thread about the firmware are finding some things zippier too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Skiddledank:
Yes, would also like to know the answer to 3lLabs question

I'm waiting on delivery of the Note so I can't comment on lagginess...yet but I thought I'd throw this in the mix...

Some have overclocked the CPU yes? Has this made a difference in lag? If so, is there a price to pay in battery consumption?

I would think/hope that if one oc'd the Note, got a good launcher and ICS we should be able to wave good bye to lag issues. Here's to hoping.

I'm not looking forward to demonstrating the Note to people only to have them comment on lag...would suck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xplan9:
Seriously, you are like a "reverse-troll". Users have questions - it doesn't matter whether it's an individual problem ot not - they get to ask them here.

It's ok, you have a really swell phone in the Note. Now let everyone use the forum the way it is meant to be used. Sheesh!

Just install gaya3d launchers. it's smooth as buuter on the note. because it's use gpu. but tis launchers will make your note like a ios...

With the KL7 firmware and Launcher Pro my Note is lightning fast!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I haven't had any lags on the home screen :s. I do sometimes when I drop down the status bar and select a notification email or something like that, it takes a sec (sometimes). but I zip through the OS. the KL7 firmware I think is very very good :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TechPurist:
This is purely a gingerbread problem. ICS is designed for modern dual/quad core processors. ICS will be the answer to our prayers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] haggis eater:
I have had similar problems with my fantastic Note but after reading these great posts I installed Launcher Pro and wow what a differance. Thanks peeps:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jakiman:
I'm using stock KL7 deodexed ROM with Abyss Kernel 2.6 Final.

Tried most launchers but at the end, just using TW Launcher.

KL7 update (official Samsung update) alone makes quite a noticeable difference.

Mine is butter smooth when scrolling in contacts / app drawer etc. No stutter/lags.

I have used a lot of phones but the Note is as fast as any phone out there IMO.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
I'm also using Launcher Pro. It's the slightest bit quicker than the already quick TW Launcher...

iLauncher is mega quick too if you wanna give that a go. Only problem it will make your phone look like an iphone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
I'm looking forward to ICS too, hopefully it will solve several minor problems/bugs as well as improve looks, performance & battery life even though I think the battery is fantastic.

Only thing that bothers me with regards to ICS will be the compatabililty with existing applications.

I hear several apps won't work due to the update? I hope this is not true since some apps are a must have and I cannot live without!

Can anyone confirm this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] noteworthy:
Where can I get the official Samsung update for KL7?Does that mean the phone doesn't have to be rooted?

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

As for the performance of the note,I love it.It's just that it's a tad less snappy than my wifes SG2.When I play games I make sure the power saving mode is switched off and this makes a huge difference to the lag.It comes close to the SG2 and I plan to keep mine stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
You can download the update file from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412959

Use the password mentioned there to open the zip file. (Windows unzip tool shows an error. I used winrar)

Once downloaded, follow the steps given in this link to apply the update:

http://jjpda.blogspot.com/2011/12/install-n7000xxkl7.html

You don't have to be rooted to do this. I was skeptical too, but once I tried this method, everything works like a charm. I never knew flashing roms was so easy! :p

PS.

You will not loose your apps/data after performing this upgrade. Everything will be the same as before except that now, you will be on KL7 update. :D

Bad performance from NOTE

Even I have exactly the same problem. It is not very smooth while opening contacts and messages. Didn't expect such performance from Note.

Sometimes I think I have wasted money on this.:mad:

Hi all, was wondering what is the best app for monitoring battery consumption by specific processes? I understand that it might be difficult to do so as we have to work out a way to split the battery used for simultaneously running processes, but just wondered if such an app exists. I am using battery monitor at the moment and it is good but it does not provide data by process. Thanks

I refuse to go to phonedog after they sued their former writer for his personal twitter account (they wanted to spam his followers).

Leo Laporte, who actually owns both phones, recommended the epic touch over the nexus on his Before You Buy Show.

It is really what is more important to you, hardware (epic touch) or software (nexus).

not to mention hardware is static vs software hey give it a few months

I know, hence the "lol" at the end. I do believe it's a bad move though, but I can kind of see that those 17k followers were potential traffic to the site, which means more advertiser money. Honestly though, I hope they drop it, or Noah just changes his twitter name.

thanks for the vid, like the other posters I as well overlooked a couple of things. Our phone has amazing specs and it holds its own against other high end android phones and the fruit phone. But i'm not going to lie that lte is pretty sick!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ppcpirate:
the area where phonedog is located just seems to have terrible sprint coverage where as if you look at wirefly reviews, sprint 4g gets over 10mbps. that's why I think reviews should be done with wifi instead of carrier signal (phonedog uses 3g for their reviews).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] staryoshi:
My thoughts on the two phones:

GNexus

Pros:

Great Screen/Resolution

Ice Cream Sandwich

Verizon Network (BLAZING 4G speed compared to Sprint/T-Mobile out here)

Cons:

No expandable memory (but 32GB for LTE model is solid)

Usable screen space - When the menu buttons are visible, it has less physical screen real estate than the E4GT from my hands-on comparison (ignoring resolution advantage).

Awkward shape and "taller" than the E4GT

"Feel" is lacking

Lackluster hardware

E4GT

Pros:

Expandable memory

Shape and Feel

Faster GPU

Cons:

Touchwiz, Touchwiz, and Touchwiz (Which is OK for 2.3, but not ICS IMO)

No Official Ice Cream Sandwich Yet - And when we do get it it will be Touchwiz-burdened

Sprint Network

The only real advantage for me when comparing the two phones was Ice Cream Sandwich. I did not care for the feel of the LTE GNexus and was not happy with Verizon (did not like the price, limited data, or the sales people), so I gave Sprint my business instead and ended up with the E4GT. I LOVE this phone, I just wish that the Sprint network was a bit more robust out here in Colorado.

My two cents anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I think the screen on the ET is much better than the screen on the nexus. the nexus has more pixels but thats it.

as for the other cons I don't get it. First thing I did was ditch touchwiz. that is a "user option" not a con. install whatever launcher you want.

Sprint may be slower but its cheaper and its truly unlimited.

what is the point of 20MB/s if you use up all your available bandwidth in a few days? or even HOURS ?

I am confident sprint will "fix up" the bandwidth issues.

as for verizon they are irrelevant. moot. I can't afford the monthly bill so its a non issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
If I spent that much money on a GNex, and then took it home and ran a ~1600 quadrant score, I'd wanna just vomit all over myself.

(Yeah, I know the old mantra: "quadrants don't mean sh*t", but still: there's gotta be a lot of credit given to the exynos processor to crank out ~4500 scores right out of the box.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
Especially since quadrant only registers 1 core
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
It only registers one core cause at the time only one is needed. Overclock that badboy or set performance with 1.2/1.2 scaling and check the system info again, I'll wait.. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YoungAceAtlanta:
software wise I'll go with the nexus. But when you want a phone with zero lag you need to get the Epic touch .. Ics is coming

From my Samsung GS2 E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
It may have more to do with ics and the app not being designed for it than the CPU.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Its more that quadrant is irrelevant and shouldn't be used in a review. Technobuffalo's reviews go more on user experience than e-peen like phone arena. Phonedog has just recently started saying "take these with a grain of salt." I think that was Aaron hearing my complaints, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
I don't know about all the ins and outs of quadrant.

What I DO know is that I installed a working ICS build (4.03) on my EVO 3D yesterday, and it showed no signs of weakness in scores like the Gnex did:

Here's my first run on the 3d, without using SetCpu or an equivalent:

Now, these are both dual-core phones,and I ran the test about 5 times, the scores were VERY consistent (all within 100 points of each other-which I take as a sign of reliability).

If quadrant doesn't register both cores,like y'all say, then there's still a wtf to be asked over why the Gnex only got a ~1600 score and even the Evo3d got a ~2800 score BOTH USING THE SAME ICS BUILD.

^That leads me to believe that something's just not right with how the Gnex is configured/optimized.

TL;DR: I think my hypothetical vomit would be justified.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OMGLadyGaga:
I like phonedog. They do a good job but Aaron has some of the most inconsistent reviews and dogfights. However, he's still cool and has the best hair in mobile by a longshot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
That speedtest at the beginning of the video was innacurate. I know he said that he usually gets 1-5 mbps when in a full Sprint coverage zone...but I find that statement to be a inaccurate as well. I get over 6 mbps (upload) with only two bars on 4G. Here's a couple of screenshots. Took the first one while test was in progress, so that you can see my 4G signal strength.

I'm not sure why he even included the speedtest in the video.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I can't speak on the GNex but on my NS4G running ICS the I/O database writes test grinds to a halt. It sits there for 5 or 6 seconds. Here's a Quadrant running 1260 max using on demand governor on my NS4G
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] sasi8998vv:
Hey guys!

Before I get to the problem, I guess you would like to know more about my mobile.

I have a Galaxy 5 (that is kinda obvious since I'm posting here), that came with 2.1 Eclair as stock. I soon upgraded to 2.2 Froyo using the ROM flashing thread in the development section, soon after which I rooted my G5. After about two months, I flashed CyanogenMod 7.1 v1.6 hotfix 3, which I'm using as of now.

Prior to flashing CM7.1, I flashed ClockworkMod RFS version, compatible with my old 2.2 stock ROM, which was used to flash CM7.1. Despite what others said on the CWM forum, it worked. Recently i flashed CWM ext version, which is supposed to work with custom ROMS, such as CM7.1.

I found that after doing this, my G5's root permissions were not working: I couldn't move files from my SDcard to the system as i should have been able to with root permissions.

I think this has something to do with changing the CWM version.

Please help.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long and boring post above.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] MrBC:
I had the same problem with CWM. Certain versions of it would either soft brick the phone or break one or two features. Only way I found to fix it was to put the old working version back on.

Mate I reckon it's the screen resolution. Explorer is 320x480 so they can sense up ICS. They could offer this rom to the desire users (in theory) but it'll look like poop on the 480x800 screen with low resolution sense. To bump all the sense stuff up to desire resolution is too big for 512.

Just a thought.
