[Galaxy S 4 General] seltaeb:
Its there but not to an annoying extent.
[Galaxy S 4 General] eggman89:
I am a S3 user, but I believe the following lags are still there:

1) Dialer / Contacts lag?

I read the comment about Gingerbread code and FB sync, but I don't want to sync FB with my contacts. Why do I need to wait 3 secs for Dialer to load.

If I wanted, I would use HaxSync or something.

2) Home Redraw:

Has it ever happened in ancient Symbian, iOS, Windows 7 or 8 that you want to go to the home screen and you need to wait 5 secs before you can use the phone?'And if I wanted to use the dialer app. Another 3 secs.

8 freaking seconds before I get out of my app and press the dialer. dafaq?

How is it acceptable for a so called powerhouse like S4 to have such a lag and redraw.

Why not lock the launcher in memory. I can't understand why Google maps and Facebook keeps on alive on the RAM but the launcher doesn't.

Isn't spending 70-80 MBs of 1.8GB of ram on locking the launcher and making the experience smooth better than having Maps track my location and eat my battery all the time?

3) The Home button lag even after disabling the S-Voice.

It takes about a half second before going to the homescreen? ANd there's a good chance the homescreen is redrawing.

Have a look at 2 years iPhone 4 with quarter the ram less than quarter the processor. Even after you press home screen after playing a game , it instantly goes to the home screen and the swiping won't shutter . (ANd I hate Apple).

4) Waking up phone from deep sleep

Not only does it take more than a second to wake up the phone, but after waking up it take a second or two before phone performs smooth.

None of the Sony or HTC or even OPPO phones do it. So WHy samsung?

I'm sure none of these lags have gone from S4, as these are software issues that has been there for a long long time.

I'm sure you can one can always some explanation, like going up from 200MHz to 1.8 GHz takes time and stuff. Or Gallary keeps on syncing.

But as an end user I don't care . I don't want to root my cell and install Supercharger or Xposed framework to get the basics of phone work.

I'm here on XDA to install mods and ROMs to make my phone work better than before. Having a mod for increasing the speaker sound , I can understand.

Having a ROM with call recording function inbuilt and additional stuff I can understand.

But having to root my cell to to keep launcher and Dialer in memory is something inexcusable.

When I can see similar phones (HTC One) , and inferior phones (iPhone 4) excelling on these BASIC tasks, it just breaks my heart to see Samsung fail in those.

Okay Guys Building the ROM Razer ROM for S4 :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] eggman89:
Wait till you add your phone with COntacts and merger whatsapp contact , FB contact, Google contacts etc.

The show models and the reviewers never talk about this point, mainly because I believe they only have some test contacts.

In the real world scenarios though, it suffers and I'm sure S4 will suffer too.

S3 is still way too powerful to lag at the basic stuff and I'm sure it's because of the horrible coding.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vd1900:
I agree with u mostly on the above points that's the only reason I gave up my S3 after just one month of buying it .... Caz I just could not find time everyone now n then to mod my phone.

I guess u have to blame touchwiz ui for all you complaints .... Samsung has really not listened when people used to complaint abt its ram hungry ui

[Galaxy S 4 General] michaelclayton:
I actually didn't notice most of these lags that somewhat plagued S3 on the S4 I got to play with for some time. The contacts app maybe had a minor lag of 1 second which is much better than on S3. The gallery and home button lag are pretty much non existent. A lot of times what may seem as a tiny lag while switching screens and moving from apps to widgets is actually some weird TouchWiz animation that Samsung should improve in my opinion (can be fixed by disabling TW animations in settings). However, insinuating that S4 has a lot of lag is a biased statement, to say the least.
[Galaxy S 4 General] eggman89:
I don't have S4 , so what I'm speaking is with Reference to S3.

Might be the lag has gone, which would be great.

I want a ussd pop up blocker, it's irritating everytime you send a msg or use internet a pop up will come from the airtel ..in s3 i was using quiet balance app now it seems not working any help plz
[Galaxy S 4 General] michaelclayton:
Oh dude, trust me. I'm not a fan of the UI optimization on Touchwiz either ( I like it for the additional features ) but Samsung has imo done a fine job on the S4. The lag is pretty non existent. There may be a few exceptions here and there, but for the most part, its pretty lag free. Having played with both the variants, I actually feel the I9500 is actually a tiny bit snappier but there isn't a very noticeable difference except the start up time that the i9500 is much faster at, courtesy lack of carrier bloatware that plagues the US based i9505 devices.

Re: Official Indian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread -Discussion, Reviews and more

It users lesser voltages at memories.. saves more battery.. isnt saving battery when yiu run heavy tasks worth it??and a 1080p screen needs it in my opinion if you run a lot of heavy tasks and games. ..

And if you check my previous link, it was from 2010.. thats when some high end laps had the gs4 specs or even lesser;).. so yeah.. it would only do good for 1080 screens..

.....

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

I doubt 4k om phones will come out this year anyway.. hell not even tvs are out at consumer level.. and the technology for battery in this year wont be enough for that.... adreno 330 will reall crawl..lol.. if samsung use a powervr 544mp4 or maybe even the tegra 4's could use it if optimized enough, maybe it would have atleast a fair chance..

.....
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mohit12:
What makes you say that the Adreno 330 will crawl?

"Based on what we’ve been shown at CES 2013, the 800 doesn’t have any problem pumping out Ultra HD (4K) video — but playback is only half the story there. The 800 will also be able to capture and record Ultra High-Definition video as well."

http://pocketnow.com/2013/01/08/qualcomm-800-vs-tegra-4

Not only does 4k play smoothly on the Adreno 330 (Snapdragon 800) but it also should be able to record it well. I don't see where you came up with the crawling statement.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Let's see what we have got here! What is the on-screen performance for FHD in GLbenchmark using 320? Check the numbers properly. Check the fill rate. Quadruple those number because we are talking about 4K.

Even PS4 won't support games in 4K (will just play videos). What makes you think that tiny 330 will be so great in 4K resolution?

[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
Re: Official Indian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread -Discussion, Reviews and more

No cm support? Haha no worries:D, surely there will be a few to port it here for cm 10,11 lovers. To be frank I haven't stayed more than few days with aokp Roms in s3(whereas with s2 I used aokp for months) ,such is the quality with samsung firmwares. Samsung improved their Roms a lot with s3,no doubt s4 already has some great optimizations like tabbed settings and more. It's the cm10 team who are going to miss out the large user base rather than us, of course I'm not blaming them at any cost as they are doing it for free(it's understandable that they are frustrated with the lack of sources) . Siting lack of sources as a reason is not fair. Whatever I would be happy if thy consider their decision (atleast for the sake of aosp lovers).

Rather than having a full functional aosp at day one I loved the various stages of cm9,10,10.1 development s2 and s3,its like seeing a baby grow. It was nice.

Personally perseus kernel along with some custom sammy roms like omega or Wanam is more than enough for me. (if in case I get s4 some day:D)

Samsung is pretty measly in releasing its source codes for exynox. I still haven't found a fully functional cm rom for my s2, everything is half baked. So the frustration of CM team is pretty much understandable.

lol..this ones funny..one app stuttering repeatedly..

And the lag when pressing a home button is an anooying animation which can be seen on any s4 vs any other phone comparison videos.. its almost a lag..and the dialer lag as the s3 is still there.. i can show u tons of vids showing how poor and bloated that s4 is.. anyone who had a long experience with the s3 knows how annoying this is.... sorry i dont find any htc one vids having stutter.. had to put this here even though i might buy an s4..

And yes, dont tell me to switch off all the features of the s4 ... did it,freezed stuffs in my s3 and it never stopped any stutters... its called poor software coding by samsung which hasnt been improved by samsung from the s3 times...doubt it would on the s4 too..

I haven't turned off any gesture features and yet I haven't faced any single lag so far, wish I had a good video cam to record that.

As per Andrei the software is not running in a finalised state especially the big little architecture advantage is not yet been utilised fully, so there are heavy room for improvements on that part.
[Galaxy S 4 General] eggman89:
[MENTION=3846899]Chillz88[/MENTION] : Could not agree more. The S3 is a shuttle galore , and with it's resale value dropping less than my old underwear I have no option but to keep it.

But I really don't understand how can Samsung keep on releasing Shuttering Touchwiz after shuttering touchwiz.

No matter how many cores you put it, as long as the software is not coded to take advantage of it, it's gonna perform bad.
[Galaxy S 4 General] rakeshishere:
On the h/w side we have reached to a point where more cores, RAM etc makes lot of difference only in benchmarks and in real world it's mainly s/w optimization and that's where iOS shines. I'm sure Any android user would agree to that.

I'm not a fan of touchwiz or its UI but use couple of features but someone says there's no lag or can't see any lag is drinking some cool stuff from Samsung and is blinded by it.

[MENTION=3846899]Chillz88[/MENTION]

Lol on the second video, the dude in the video sounds like a little butthurt *****. His rant on the 'fake wood' just proved his bias. Samsung have adopted a new eco friendly approach with their packaging and it's built of 100% recyclable material. A lot of reviewers actually lauded the approach and rather liked the cardboard motif. 'Fake wood' Ha! That just ruined his credibility in my book. He repeatedly kept showing the one widget that stuttered and spent the rest of the time ranting about how much he disliked the device. There may be certain stutters at times but I hardly think it's too big a deal. I'm fairly certain software updates ought to take care of a lot of that.

Touchwiz is a heavy skin and could use a lot of improvements and btw in the first video, the guy from Pocketnow mentioned random stuttering and lag in his Sprint review unit. He didn't say anything about lag on i9500 and those time intervals you mentioned, the only lag apparent on the i9500 was home button one, the rest were for his Sprint variant. If you know anything about US carrier devices, you would know that a lot of bloat carriers add is not optimized as well and hinders smooth running. Ask any Verizon or AT&T customer and they'll say the same.

Look, I'm all for tweaking touchwiz and Samsung needs to optimize it more but I'm just sick of the people just hating on the device because of that. If you don't wanna buy it , fine. Just stop ranting about how much you dislike the device.

AFAIK only snapdragon version has the bootloader locked.

For exynoss, your custom counter may go up when you root it. So to claim back warranty you need to unroot and then use triangle away to clear the counter. Triangle away is yet to be updated to work with S4.
