I feel that main is their touchwiz launcher is more lag than stock. Maybe cos deodex? I don't know.... Especially scrolling in launcher's app pages.

First of all that is not true and if you read that thread you will see that it is a silly idea or what the OP called a "solution", it is not a solution, there is nothing wrong with the clock/weather widget whatsoever, I was using it fine with no redraws after I changed oom priorities. Stop spreading this misinformation around xda please as noobs may read it and believe it.

That would make it the best phone.

Yeap when you "intentionally" try to spot the pixels you can do it. Same for even for retina screen.

Well that is Super AMOLED... The white is always a bit of yellowish or bluish.

LCD=Good white but Grayish black.

Super AMOLED=Good black

Wait for those colour tuner mods like Voodoo Colour then you can tune it to the white you want.

This is the best phone ever!

I bought it on Monday and I can`t put it down! My girlfriend hates me now :)

Superfast, thin, a little bit big, but for me it`s okey! The speakers are very good, the screen is excellent!

My only problem is with the screen colors. If I`m watching it faceing the phone the whites are some kind of yellow :/ But if I look another point of view that`s a brilliant white :eek:

Dynamic

Go to Settings/Display/Screen mode and choose "Dynamic". I love it. Saturated, but brings the screen even more to life, imv.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colman1982:
Whenever I see white on the screen I can see black dots or something. And egdes are jagede. I noticed this on my old HTC desire phone with aomled also. When I got another desire phone with lcd it looked a lot better. With higher resolution of the sgs3 it look a lot better than my old desire phone, but it's not like iphone.

All in all I love my sgs3.

Ok I really hate this thread. Everyone's telling their phone is perfect. Well it isn't. But with some understanding of the phone you can make things a bit better.

The redraw issue is something I could never solve. No matter what ROM I'm using it will still redraw.

But I can live with it.

It is the best phone out there for someone who wants a big screen android. Not more.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
I noticed the same issue the OP described for example when exiting Sygic (and sometimes Chrome too).

It only lasts for a second or two the most, then all widgets are visible again and the launcher screen is fully back.

Yet nothing compared to the UI lag I had with the S1, maybe that's why I notice it but don't feel it as extremely (!) bothering as the OP.

Maybe JB will fix that anyway.

Screen redraw is and android issue which will probably be fixed in Android 4.1.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Moan, moan, moan.

The redraw issue is SIMPLE to fix.

Go to android.mimic.ca and follow the instructions there.

My phone IS perfect now and if you spent less time moaning and more time reading you could have avoided posting this and making yourself look silly.

The people saying their phone is perfect are the people who know what they are doing.

Not true, it is a touchwiz issue.

Never once had an issue with redraw on my nexus s or gnex.

Using Nova Launcher and freezing Touchwiz solved any infrequent redraw issues that I had.

Also, they happen with the 2GB version as well, so it's not a memory problem. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaggydabbydo:
All good

I'm on stock, with Touchwiz replaced by Apex Launcher & JuiceDefender Ultimate I get a couple of days of medium/light usage, a day when using everything.

1. Not had an issue with apps closing I did not want to be closed. The TuneIn Radio app has continued to stream trance :good:

2. My touch screen is fine. Perhaps because I have a screen protector on it, it's less sensitive and perfect: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-Screen-Protector-Terrapin/dp/B007Y4L3GK

3. My volume switch is fine. Perhaps because I have a case on it, it's less prone to being accidentally pushed: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007PG0RJQ/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00

4. Max volume is great. Real Racing 2 sounds very loud and excellent. With the phone laid flat with the case, the speaker is muffled, but on my case there is a little built-in buldge near the bottom right corner so the case cannot lay perfectly flat and the sound gets out (and resonates on what it's laying on so sound even basier - perfect).

5. LED is fine for me. I like the blue colour.

I can't compare to iOS as I've never owned an iThing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
buttery smooth on all sammy based ROMS, stock has lots of redraw but jumped ship to a cooked ROM within an hour of getting my new Phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maciejst:
I can't believe how Samsung lets THE BEST phone be distributed with such crappy stock software.

To give you an example, on stock rom, the phone stops vibrating if the screen goes off. Now, the slide 2 answer screen is set to stay awake even if you block the proximity sensor, but you can still press the power button for the screen to go off and vibration to stop.

However, if you use any software that turns screen off with proximity sensor on the call screen: vibration doesn't work or works for a nanosecond and turns off as the screen turns off. You must use proximityScreenOffLite which allows you to have the phone handle proximity-screen-off during calls. It took me an hour of searching threads and checking options to set this. How frustrating...

They could have set the trigger for turning off vibration for the INPUT rather than OUTPUT state (e.g. "turn off vibration when you press POWER button" rather then "turn off vibration when the parameter %screen is set to ~off". But why do this if you can make people's life harder? :D

I still love it, but just getting it to do the right things at the right time is a pain. It's the best phone out there indeed but it would surely by unreachable for competition if Samsung

learned

from XDA Devs and employed people who don't do "lazy programming" to build their market power. At the same time custom roms like Cyanogenmod (which I love and used on my HD2) are not a solution if you want to use TV out and other proprietary functions. Not to mention that the "ususal user" doesn't feel confident with using custom roms... That's why people use Apple products. It's poor hardware, but the programming makes it easy to use for everyone, including the elderly or people with impaired hearing or sight... Sounds like a good business model. You make the hardware (which is a variable cost) as cheap as you can and the software (which is a fixed cost) as good as you can and then sell as much as you can to loose the weight of the software... and earn big money :D

Scrolling stutters in apps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuertoKo:
Sorry for u guys but I run stock deodexed and have never experienced lag, stutters or whatever... None of my many friends owning an SG3 have and it's usually same people saying bs in every post I visit...

Repeating a lot of times one thing won't make it true.

Saying "it stutters on scrolling" makes no sense, share a video of it, say ROM, kernel, launcher or even if pure stock, because this is not how the device runs, so it's your problem, not everyone's issue.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafez:
Take it easy mate, The phone does stutter and not butter smooth all the time, Also have very bad memory management and for no reason memory usage jumps up to 700+ MB and clearing the memory does not really help, Phone and contact lags and no matter what you do the problem can not be solved, even the leaked 4.1.2 suffer from the same problems.

If you come from a slower device for sure you will see a speady device but let us not ignore that this device is not what alot of people expected it to be.

Best regards
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yugoport:
I definitely agree, I came from a ancient HD2, and was a flash addicted, I bought the flagship android device and stock it disappoints me, to be honest in some apps my HD2 was smoother, which is unbelievable.

The stock ram management it's indeed a shame, for a top end device like this one.

I hate iPhone's ecosystem and mentality, but when you use a iPhone 5 and then the S3, you definitely notice the difference in smoothness, you should not need to root and flash a device so it can work properly.

Even the already old galaxy nexus with the new update it's a lot smoother that the S3, which shows that the software development by Samsung fails in the slightest details. .

Let's hope they can do better in the next updates.

Not one bit off stutter here.... 4.1.2 runs like a dream u need to check bbs id say u have rogue app or suffer the mediascanner bug.

Ill give u some hint disable lockscreen ripple and disable some unwanted apps that will help this ram issue
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maciejst:
On the second thought... it may be the case of branded ROMs, since branded roms are provided by carriers AGES after new updates are provided to unbranded stock ROMs and currently, they are probably based on some buggy old mess.

Best way to get it done would be to hand it in at first for service and force them to change the ROM to unbranded. If it doesn't meet standards, they should accept it... I assume this discussion is about I9300 and I9305 not the localized hardware versions where there is no other unrooted option than branded ROMs...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kremata:
Maybe Branded ROM's is one reason, they often put bloatware over Samsung's bloatware. If you don't want to flash a new ROM you can try this.

Go to Settings -> Developer options

turn off ->Window animation scale

turn off ->Transition animation scale

turn off ->Animation duration scale

Check ->Force GPU Rendering

Tell me if you see a difference

And I'm sorry for the people who feels the S3 is slow(You must have a problem).

My wife and I both have S3 and I would take iphone5 side by side with my S3(Actually I did). The iphone5 is smooth but my S3 is smooth and snappy. There is NO lags ANYWHERE no matter what ROM I flash.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _JKay_:
You could also try JKay Deluxe..

Here you can whitelist the apps you want to stay in memory.. This way their start up will always be almost instant!

I have whitelisted Contacts, the launcher and a few other apps I use a lot.

You can also increase the maximum number of hidden apps from 25 to 50 if you like. This way apps will most likely get killed by the low memory killer instead of just being kicked because there are more than 25 hidden apps (your phone will therefore make use of all it's memory!). The recent apps list will then also increase from 20 to 50. It's all controlable using my Deluxe Settings apk.

Click on the link in my signature and read what other users of JKay Deluxe say about it! Make your phone happy :)

Anyone gone back to stock on their HOX?

I have tried several Roms on mine & I have to be honest, I really don't see a big difference in either speed or functionality. Other than being able to back up.

Don't get me wrong I'm not dissing anyone's rom, I just feel the HOX is not what I thought it would be, It's juddery & jerky & no cooked rom has fixed that.

Hopefully the next update with fix this, if not the HOX could be on it's bike....

I switched back to stock too. Looking forward to CM10 or AOSP Jelly Bean ROM.
[HTC One X] narcoustic:
I know what you mean. I tried a number of sense based ROMs hoping that the devs would have corrected HTC faux pas' but to no avail..multitasking was still broken, and the launcher bugged the hell out of me with its constant re-draws and 30 odd second loading time. I have since switched to a cyanogen ROM hoping that completely eliminating sense would solve the performance issues but no... although the ROM i am runing now (CM9) is in general smoother and less juttery than stock and other sense ROMS, the browser performance is still woeful regardless of what app I use and I'm still seeing redraws.. not to mention my signal is ridiculously variable - it will go from 3 bars to none without me even moving the phone's position in the slightest (but better than stock where it would fail to reconnect if signal was lost). I would have sold this phone already and replaced it with an S3 if my hands weren't tied (staff handset). I would have overlooked the limitations such as sd card storage, non-removable battery etc. if the performance of the phone otherwise was awesome but it's not, despite having a quad core processor. I hoping jelly bean drastically improves performance otherwise I will be looking to replace this phone with an S3.

Never going back to stock if I can help it. Currently running cm9 and loving it, why would I go back to stock. Battery sucks on stock.

I've been back to stock after I bricked my phone and used an RUU. I found that the stock phone itself was very slow compared to running a ROM. The battery life on stock also was very short compared to using a ROM. The lag you may get is on every sence ROM. Maybe install the smooth Rosie mod?

Guys keep your stock Rom backed up on ce mod for jb coming up, but you should really try the miui for one x, just go to www.onexroot.com and click on the Roma tab and miui will be there. It is a mix of IPs and touchwiz but has some issues with root permissions, other than that it is fine though and I love it. It also has monthly updates adding new features and converting more of it to English, almost everything is now, give it a whirl, I'm sure you will love it, just remeberbtk update it through the in Rom updater

i think that mod roms based on 2.05 test are faster and have some more nice functions like the setting of multitasking button as menu button (that remove 3dots ics menu)....i think that the only competitors of HOX now is the sgs3 but i will never change an htc for a samsung fake-phone-plastic design. :silly:
[HTC One X] kisokod:
not every HOX has built with the same quality I guess. Mine with stock should be as good as other customize ROM HOX in their best state. If you think back to stock will be better for your HOX, just try and you will see the differences.

You can't order the 100 min/unl sms/5gb data plan in T-Mobile stores. It's only available online or in Walmart. You just order the SIM online for 5.34$ (including tax) and once you're ready to activate it, choose the plan you want online (especially the 5gb data plan) and it should work fine.
