Look the lag when pressing any setting. Example apps. my S2 does not. its more of a beast than the S3 i guess? Look at the first video of the titanium and when he presses settings what happens and then mine. Youll se the difference
[Galaxy S III General] iridaki:
I was not talking about the first video nor was I commenting about whether the SGS2 is faster than the S3 or not.

I was merely pointing out that your video does not prove anything.
[Galaxy S III General] :
It proves the S3 lags or my lags while doing easy tasks while other people's S3 does it just fine. And you're right bout dark room but try watch in 1080p and fullscreen!

Opening appdrawer stutters, can't see the animation. Scrolls widgets stutter. Pressing settings stutter.

I guess it's that annoying ugly unnecessary animation by samsung.. (in settings)

My S3 takes every phone starting hard apps playing games. No lag in games while the 4S has lag. But why cant it complete easy things without stuttering?
[Galaxy S III General] IntenseTorture:
"Why do people claim this? Are you claiming to have solved something all the hard working cm devs are continually confirming IS a problem?

Wish people would stop posting this rubbish. There is absolutely no denying that all of these ROMs experience a little lag once in a while."

Sorry but i know every rom has slight lag once in a while, all the roms on our thread are really awesome. I appreciate and thank all the developers for there hard work. I have used alot of roms. Bit i never felt lag since i was using liquidrom and its not a false claim. I even mentioned the time. Noa if you dont believe it then dont i am just expressing my happiness . You please mind your business or if you find lag then voice. You have no right to question my review. Once again i had no lag since the past 10days. Live with it.

Rom : liquidsmooth

Kernel : stock

Not too many apps just a few.
[Galaxy S III General] iridaki:
Sometimes people who do not complain about their phones are either considered liars or their mental capacity is questioned.

However, "lag" is a very subjective term.

What is laggy for somebody and annoys them a great deal, might go unnoticed by someone else. It depends on what you do with your phone, what you expect from your phone and quite a few other factors.

There are as many "My phone lags :crying:" as "My phone is awesome :fingers-crossed:" threads.

And, in my opinion, they are both pretty much useless.

Using Liquid Smooth ROM or PA or pretty much any AOSP ROM you'll get this, I get it with Liquid Smooth ROM
[Galaxy S III General] IntenseTorture:
hmm
[Galaxy S III General] 23Six:
We all forget, that at the end of the day they're mobile devices
[Galaxy S III General] kickassdave:
So the people with no "lag" have solved what codeworkx and entropy etc have been trying to solve for months? Woah....

These people obviously aren't clear on what lag people are actually talking about here.

Compare the nice smooth 60fps scrolling you get on liquid ROM when browsing or when in the settings menu, with repeatedly opening and closing the messaging app. You will notice instead of a smoothly transitioned animation, you get a small or large stutter....

THIS is undeniable. And THIS is the very issue or at least an example of one that people are referring to. JellyBean is supposed to have smooth animations throughout every aspect of the UI including opening closing applications. THIS doesn't work properly on all CM10 based ROMs and in all honesty isn't quite perfect in Sammy ROMs either (although a fair amount better).

When I read these comments, it's one of the few times I feel I cannot let it go unchallenged.

This is not opinion or my feeling... hwcomposer isn't working right.... it's fact!
[Galaxy S III General] iridaki:
How much that fact annoys each individual is a matter of feeling or opinion though.

You can't expect everyone to share your disappointment and you have to allow room for people who just don't see it or they just don't care.
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
I can honestly say I have had lag on s3 in the past but now when I change ROMs or even update I wipe every time and from now on not one bit of lag :) yea Samsung might not off fully optimized jb and the software but skip installing 4.1.1 go straight to 4.1.2 and man does this beast fly ;)
[Galaxy S III General] :
Can i full wipe on stock rom?
[Galaxy S III General] antonyyip:
For me, I flashed a AKOP 4.12 JB ROM and no lag at all!! Very fast and smooth.

Thank you for contacting us.

I understand that you'd like to know whether the back side of Nexus 4 is made of Corning Gorilla Glass. I will certainly help you.

AdaptiveMesh, only front screen of Nexus 4 is made of Corning Gorilla Glass not the back. If you come across any other information that you'd like to pass along, please feel free to reply to this email.

Thanks,

Gorrila glass protects against keys,knives etc but against particles is where it fails. A substance such as sand would easily cause gorilla glass to scratch

[Nexus 4 General] Razer(x):
I've contacted LG support again
[Nexus 4 General] ATnTdude:
LG has been pretty clear about this since day 1, the back is not Corning Gorilla Glass. They have specifically informed reviewers in the press to not call the back gorilla glass. It is some other kind of hardened glass, either from Corning or another maker. Gorilla Glass is a brand name. Don't get hyped up on brands, they're near-meaningless.
[Nexus 4 General] PhilipL:
Hi

It sort of makes sense it isn't Gorilla Glass, but may actually be it. :confused:

Gorilla Glass main properties are it can be made thin by being toughened, and is made to a high standard to have great optical clarity, and other properties necessary for when people are jabbing at it with their fingers.

There is no point of having these expensive properties built into the rear glass, so the high specification that comes with Gorilla Glass just isn't needed on the rear. It might just be the case the glass is made by Corning in the same way as if it were Gorilla Glass but the quality bar is lowered so it is cheaper for LG. If this is the case Google/LG can't call it Gorilla Glass, but I'd put money on it being something essentially the same.

Also Corning doesn't have the monopoly on toughed glass either, so no reason it can't be sourced from a cheaper supplier, which means again it can't be called Gorilla Glass, but is essentially the same thing.

Scratch resistance of Gorilla Glass comes more from the fact it is glass than anything else, try scratching an ordinary glass tumbler with some keys :laugh:

Corning have done a great job with branding and PR with Gorilla Glass where for some people there can't be any other glass like it, but other companies can make glass with the same properties, it's not really a new technology this type of glass, just now it has a market.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
Makes sense. Back of the phone does not need to be optically ideal, low reflections, color neutral or as thin as possible, ideally uniform thickness etc.

So, why splash on gorilla when there are other sorts of glass with similar relevant characteristics.
[Nexus 4 General] Razer(x):
Yeah, so clear that LG UK today told me it is Gorilla Glass.
[Nexus 4 General] trio151:
Whatever is on the back definitely is a good quality hardened glass, as seen in the video. I tried scratching it with a knife myself and nothing showed up so Im happy.
[Nexus 4 General] plasticdarlow:
That was brave of you :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] trio151:
Well I had already seen the guy take a box cutter to the back in the video and I was trusting Matias Duarte when he said it was Gorilla Glass.

what we really need is someone with the proper tools to test exactly how hard the back glass is and how it compares to Gorilla Glass 2.
[Nexus 4 General] narcopolypse:
I was in the T-mo store yesterday looking at the display model. Upon very close inspection I found no noticeable scratches on the front and and dozens of fine barely noticeable scratches on the back. Judging from past experience I would wager a substantial bet that the rear glass is hardened soda lime glass. Most likely Eagle XG.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Thanks for paraphrasing Wikipedia for us.
[Nexus 4 General] martinsskutans:
There is no way, that back is Gorilla - have mine Nexus for 3 days - allready scratched back. Havent put it together with money, keys or something scratchy :)
[Nexus 4 General] kbeezie:
Actual working display units seem to be one of the best indicators of slightly more than 'normal wear and tear' considering the crap they stick onto the back of them as security devices and how many people just let the cables whip em back into the mount.
[Nexus 4 General] kbeezie:
Seems like they make cases for people that worried bout it. But yea pricey phone (well not in comparison to some), and you got to worry bout 'glass' on both sides seems to wreak havoc on the nervous lol. We're turning into iphone users with this behavior trait... :p

[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Who said that the back has Gorilla Glass?, the front only has Gorilla Glass 2.
[Nexus 4 General] fernandezhjr:
Most of the online reviews at legit tech sites state it is Gorilla Glass. The only people I have seen that say it isn't is in these and other forums. I have had my N4 for 3 months with only a bumper and have no scratches visible with the naked eye on the back or front. I'm not sure if the back is Gorilla Glass or not, but I definitely find it scratch resistant.
[Nexus 4 General] BrianDigital:
Gorilla glass is marketing for the most, people hear and "go gosh my phone won't scratch."

When they start using that sapphire ruby screen stuff then we will see if finally a screen won't need a protector on it
[Nexus 4 General] fernandezhjr:
I never use a screen protectors anymore. I used my HTC Inspire, which has Gorilla Glass 1, for over two years and the screen was like pristine when I passed it down to one of the kids. Of course, it really does help if you take good care of your phone. Gorilla Glass is not scratch proof, but it is scratch resistant. I find it to be a great advancement from those screens of yesteryear that scratched easily, not just some marketing ploy.
[Nexus 4 General] clockworkstop:
heres my two cents, that back is as much a gorilla as a dead horse is alive
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
It has survived so far with me.so if it is gorilla,horse or an elephant,I don't care
[Nexus 4 General] jyuuken:
Hahahah same thoughts
[Galaxy S III General] VicSticks:
I'm posting this so hopefully you can avoid my awful experience with this horribly delicate screen.

I purchased the phone 3 weeks ago, and ordered a screen protector from eBay.

While waiting for the screen protector to arrive I figured I'll handle the device with extra care, and I thought I should be fine after seeing all the big fuss Samsung made about the Gorilla glass II, showing how you can mistreat it in all sorts ways, let alone place keys on it and what not, and it wouldn't scratch.

So I concluded there is not going to be any problem if I carry it around my EMPTY back jeans pocket, screen facing towards the body, so nothing external could hit it.

Alas, I was wrong, the Levi's jeans seemed to managed beating the fu**ing Gorilla glass II quite easily. Now I have a couple of nasty looking scratches right in the middle of the screen.

I am very frustrated.

Samsung did a ****ty job with this one. Don't get me wrong, in terms of computing, this device is probably second to none, and I enjoy it a lot, but releasing such a fragile device, meant for daily intensive use, and should be able to easily manage normal handling, without adequate STOCK protection is really ranking Samsung on the lower end of brands.

Don't buy the Gorilla glass II lies, it sucks. Get your device protective covers from the second it leaves the box. You have been warned.

As for me, I'm probably going to sell the device, lose a little money, and get a new one, S3 or something else, I'll see.
[Galaxy S III General] Macchinista:
many ppl consider simply most resistant gorilla glass I of SII :)

[Galaxy S III General] sukulankur:
Sands

Gorilla glass can not save u from sand particles....really.

/Keys: no problem // Sand particles: EPIC big problem.

So I am assuming...your scratches come from those pesky sands. I have to say though...I dont think there are any screen at the moment in the market which is really universally scratchproof.
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
Every phone I have owned has had multiple threads like this.

I'm still amazed people carry a phone in a back pocket. Forget to take it out when sitting down and bye bye phone.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
couldn't agree more.....I think big glass screens have been around long enough now for everyone to know if you don't put a screen protector on straight away then you get what coming......just stop creating damn threads about it, no one is interested!
[Galaxy S III General] Obagleyfreer:
A surface is only "resistant" if the material scratching it is of equal or lesser resistance/hardness. for example keys, coins etc are all "relatively soft metals" in comparison to Gorilla glass, so no scratches.

As Sukulankur pointed out sand on the other hand is very hard and is much tougher than Gorilla Glass so sand/grit WILL scratch Gorilla Glass very easily.

Also quite obviously diamond will scratch Gorilla Glass very easily. So think twice about letting your wife use your phone to make a call whilst wearing diamond earings! lol
[Galaxy S III General] 23Six:
Mine has a few scuffs from when my little bro tried to S Memo with a a knife :crying: but tbh, the scratches aren't noticeable at most angles and are very fair.
[Galaxy S III General] xmrenegade7:
Mines been dropped smashed of my keys and coins and it goes through all sorts and mine is still as if it was brand new. Never had any problems, and i don't understand the worry of sand I go to the beach every week with family.

[Galaxy S III General] Sleepycat3:
Your jeans was probably stone washed from the factory.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
you are going to sell your S3 just because you have your screen scratched? -.-
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
I learned my lesson after my SGS1 screen was scratched to Hell after a day at the beach and learned the difference between "Proof" and "Resistant"

And anyway I stuck an Xtremeguard protector on 5 months ago and they all rippled and have too much resistance and a lot of people say they rubbish, but mine has become like a fine wine and got better over age, because now the ripples have almost completely gone and is very smooth and fingerprint resistant and a lot of the scratches seem to disappear eventually because of the material.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Just headed inside to say this.. there is no way you can scratch the screen easily.. i used my s3 for around 2 months without a screenguard , wont say i handled it with extra care but there is not a single scratch when i took it to the shop for placing a screenguard
