[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nabbed:
If you put 7 4x4 widgets on the screen, the touchwiz launcher will lag slightly from time to time. It doesn't want to hold all these cached images in ram.

There's no lag at all with the Apex launcher though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Hiro14:
Im using Nova launcher and there is no lag. I noticed some lag while whiting an email today. The keyboard was lagging behind by a noticeable amount. I found out that the email app was causing the slowdown in the keyboard. Writing an email in the gmail app was smooth and buttery. Software really has to be optimized to utilize the powerful specs this phone has.

Also, I disabled S-Voice to improve the response time of the home button.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] deadfrog82:
Coming from a galaxy nexus, how is the browser and all live wallpapers any slowdown at all. Since ur coming from galaxy nexus u already know that live wallpapers slow it down horribly and browser lags with image heavy/ flash material. Anyone who could answer this I would love to know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nabbed:
Live wallapers don't seem to have any significant effect on lag as long as they are preinstalled on the device. They seem be optimized for this phone by samsung - they consume almost no cpu (less than 10% cpu usage). I tried Microbes 2.3 and cpu usage shot up to 50%.

I don't see any lags using the web.

Thanks man you should post a you tube video showing sorry I know a little extreme. But I just finally want an android phone that is super smooth galaxy nexus huge disappointment there. I knew microbes worked fine on s2 but wanted to know about s3 since different processor thanks again.

Thanks man. Just to make sure u are using us version right. You should mark a YouTube video showing live wallpapers and browser pinch zoom scrolling. Sorry just excited want a phone that is smooth galaxy nexus huge disappoint there
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nabbed:
Yeah, my version of microbes was from epic touch. Must have been optimized for the mali gpu.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] deadfrog82:
In your opinion they run the same then s2 microbes to s3 microbes
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nabbed:
There's no s3 microbes. I restored microbes 2.3 from titanium backup. It came with either some rom or with a theme..

They don't run the same either. They both appear to be smooth, but s3 utilizes 50% cpu, whereas cpu was about half that on s2, and any wallpaper that came with the s3 runs with less than 10% cpu.

I experience lagging when playing Bakery Story and Restaurant Story games. The movement is very choppy. Didn't have this with my GS2..:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] deadfrog82:
Yup. Cool though at least its smooth and doesn't slow it down. Awesome. Mostly it seems people are lagging on games which I don't do much so I should be happy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] wyuan:
is that with othre stuff running in the bg or just playing the game by itself
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] androholic:
The only thing I've seen is an occasional hiccup while quickly scrolling on TW. I have all of my screens full of widgets that are always syncing. This is as close to flawless as your going to get with android on a US carrier, and I have tried almost every flagship available. When a new one hits, I'm right at the carriers store to run it through a few paces. The 2gb ram is only available with the gs3, so it's undoubtedly going to be the smoothest android your going to pick up. The gpu of the international gs3 coupled with the exynos quad core will also give you the silky user experience your looking for, but you find it subsidized, or have the data speed capabilities of the US versions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] eyecon82:
I find random lag throughout
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] androholic:
That's actually probably the best way to put it,.. Random. Every android is going to show some lag or stuttering at some point, as there are alot of background processes in Android.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] wyuan:
is there a way to shut down unnecessary background processes?

if it possible to get no lag by deleting bloatware?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] eyecon82:
not true..my sgsII didn't lag one bit...there was no random lag...not sure why this phone has it though
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
probably crappy incomplete Samsung code.....just like with the Charge....the devs were able to find all sorts of junk in the code......unnecessary code can be far worse than anemic hardware, which this phone does not have. Any tiny bit of lag perceived should be easily resolvable once the software is out of early initial release phase......remember, this is brand spanking new.....I am willing to bet you it's faster than the Exynos in 6 months to a year if the right software is provided like CM9 with a solid MTD kernel
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Slurpee7600:
Lag

I've used my phone to do pretty much everything except play graphic intensive games and i have experienced no lag, at all.

I have the T-mobile version. I also deleted a lot of the bloatware but it never lagged before i did that either.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] wyuan:
how do you delete bloatware?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] s3xda:
no lag here. The home button lag is fixed by disabling the double tapping launch of s voice
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] eyecon82:
to better describe it, it's more like a random stutter here and there
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] androholic:
Yes, Samsung has always had a very nice task manager that's easily accessible. You can clear the ram, kill all processes or one at a time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] androholic:
Hmm... All 3 of my gs2's showed random lag here & there, and I'm quite sure that could be said for every android handset.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KloudIX:
There is always JRummy's Rom Toolbox Lite !
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thewadegeek:
Or if you are trying to modify a ZIP file, you could always just open it and delete anything you consider "unneeded" yourself, I found I actually learned a fair bit doing it that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
Another option is that you can use titanium backup to "freeze" the apps.

They are effectively removed, but you can "thaw" them back to normal in the event that it messes something up.

I think you need the paid version of TB to do that though, but I like doing that before removing the apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcren21:
I have used noth the ROM Toolbox and Titanium backup. I prefer titanium because you dont fullyt remove it, but by freezing it you take it out of the picture without having to worry about seriously deleting something you shouldnt have.

Bloatware List?

Anyone know of a list anywhere that shows what software/processes are installed which could be frozen safely?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
There are a couple of lists floating around but I haven't seen them in some time and some of them are either very outdated or for a different model phone (a lot of apps are still the same however).

Use the search at the very top of every XDA screen to search all the XDA forums. Learning to search is half the battle, keep search queries simple at first. Most questions can be answered by using the search tools here.

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

+1 to using Titanium or something similar to freeze apps.

First of all, always backup your phone prior to going on a binge removing or freezing apps. Freezing is a much better alternative than deleting/removing apps because once they're gone, some of them may be very difficult to get back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
What I did was made a list from different developers rom. Like naoekrom beta 2.1 he list all the bloatware he took out his rom in his second post. Whenever I go to a different rom I grab my list... Go to root explorer app and under system/app delete those on my list...

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennycol:
Hi, to start off my xplay fell into the water :(

I took out the battery and used a drier on it for a long time, when i tried to use it it worked fine however it wouldnt charge battery.

As soon as i was able i changed the battery (to the original factory one, i use a 3400 mah mugen battery) and it wouldnt charge either, then i took it to some technician who jump-started it or something, since then it has been working but the speed of both batteries drain is at last 5 times faster, during my sleep (only data turned on) it discharges about 50%. Drainage is crazy fast.

The phone signal is also very bad, keeps showing that the network is unavailable and sometimes when i try to manually connect to my operator network it does work. the signal display shows 4 bars and still no network even if on the street sometimes. (briefly before i installed doomlord kernel, 2.3.4 android, and jokawild rom in case this issue is known to happen)

This has been going on for like 15 days, everything else works perfectly. However just a couple hours ago touch screen also went mad, it keeps "clicking" all over the place, after doing touch screen service test it keeps drawing lines instead of dots wherever i touch.

I know its a lot of stuff, but i couldnt give up without asking in xda if theres any chance of saving my xplay or i just have to buy a new one.

THX a lot for your feedback.

If you are on the fringe of Sprint, you can switch to 'Roam Only' and it will lock on the roaming partner in the area and most of the work much better.

Problem being, is that the smali looks nothing like the EVO's, or any HTC phone for that matter. HTC either built in, or didn't remove the methods used to switch roam only on or off. I have a feeling i might be persisitant enought this time around (now that i own the phone i'm dev'ing on) to get the job done. As i've also found Roam control not to be working here.

As with all other cautions, roam only when necessary and use Sprint or Wifi for major downloads. Abusing Sprint's roam agreement can get you terminated. Apparently 300MB per month or so brings your account to their attention. :D

If you force a Verizon PRL, simply update your PRL normally to return to Sprint.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xoltrix2000:
I'm fairly sure someone has asked this question, but I couldn't find anything in search anywhere.

Is this possible? A lot of people are getting excited about the North American version of the phone, but there is little information about using any variation of the S3 firmwares on any S3.

This would really suck because all the development is happening on the I9300, so we don't get much development attention or flavours of ROMS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] entropism:
