No lag it all here either, loving this Phone.
[G2 General] zathus:
A few hours of having this phone. I can say, I freaking love it. No lag at all, love the camera. He'll I even like the 5 row keyboard. I see people saying the speaker sucks but coming from the gnexus. Its freaking loud lol
[G2 General] JDROIDS:
No lag here (vzw). Love the phone. Battery life is awesome.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
It was always laggy for me. Even after root and roms. The most you notice is stutter on animations within the ui.

In my opinion Samsung just has terribly optimized software. No rom or specs will fix it imo.
[G2 General] Ms.Dummbunny:
i'm with you... i was so disappointed with the lag/jitters/hiccups on the S4 (and i tried it on ALL 4 carriers, i would've switched had it worked flawlessly on ANY of them. Sadly, it did not. I was so brokenhearted, i had waited and anticipated S4's release for months! Hanging on every article, nuance of info forthcoming...What a disappointment the actual experience was. It was so annoying how it seemed to be running, "Project Stutter"....

I was reading up on the issue and one article cited it was because Samsung has never optimized their UI to work with Jellybean, only S3 running on ICS, and even if u google S3 owners, you'll get a slew of "jb update ruined my phone"....Seemed they were like, "its working GOOD enuf, lets just throw jellybean out there and create 50 more diff types of devices without truly devoting any manpower to optimising JB to work with Touchwiz...

as for the LG G2, not a stutter, hiccup or hesitation ever.On occasion it might take a millisecond for an ap to open, but that doesn't feel like 'lag", it feels like "processing" if that makes sense....

G2 all the way for this ex-Sammygirl...lol

Ms D
[G2 General] jayochs:
you're 100% right, and i've said this on the S3 forums since day one, and people brushed me off like i was insane.

on ICS, i've never had a faster phone. the s3 was perfect. the notification drop down bar was a smooth 60fps every single time it came down, even if you're doing 20 things at a time. the phone never stuttered. i was in love with that phone when i got it.

then JB came, and it absolutely ruined everything. the dropdown bar because super laggy, cut in half to 30fps, even less, and if you were doing things, forget it...it would come down around 15fps incredibly choppy and laggy. everything lagged out on JB, and nobody seemed to care. unfortunately, that same lag is present in the S4, with a bit of a framerate bump, but nowehre near 60 still like it used to be. i kicked myself for buying the S4 when i realized it had the same lag as the S3, but whatever.
[G2 General] alhadee12:
I noticed your signature states S4 and possibly for sale. Is that due to the lag or some other issues with the phone. I have the G2 and unless I'm missing something, I've been pretty please with it's performance. However, I am not a tech guy so I'm not too sure about the lag that is being discussed.
[G2 General] jayochs:
eh just bc i spent 650 on it and mihgt sell it now that i have the G2, bc honestly, the G2 is a better phone. and yeah, it's laggy even with custom roms, and it annoyed me to NO end.

the lag was unbearable for me, bc swiftkey lagged ALL THE TIME, especially on hangouts, and i use that daily. swiftkey only lagged on my GS4..it was perfect on my DNA and my G2, so yeah, to me it was unusable. i may hang on to it though bc video recording is 2000000000000x better on the S4 than the G2.
[G2 General] Ms.Dummbunny:
yup, i think the only ppl who dint realize how the update ruined their phone were ppl who were never that "tuned in" to HOW GREAT the S3 was to begin with...lol

Here's the vid i made on some great tips & tricks i am finding in the G2 : )

Ms D
[G2 General] jayochs:
love your videos because of your little LG collection on display haha
[G2 General] Ms.Dummbunny:
i find the G2's video way superior especially since its got OIS.... i'm always one that ppl would say "your video made me seasick" so i REALLY appreciate the OIS on the G2...lol

do you mean the "added features of the software" or the actual "video quality?" If its the quality, have you tried playing with the settings?

Ms D
[G2 General] jayochs:
nope, actual quality. the focusing is terrible because it has that breathing auto focus, so until a dev can come in and turn auto focus off (like the GS4 can do) then it'll be fine.

however, the quality is pretty awful as well. in lower light, FPS drops SIGNIFICANTLY, whereas on the GS4 it stayed the same. in general, it's washed out, over exposed, low FPS and the quality does NOT look 1080p..looks blurry, soft and ugly.

my GS4 videos truly came out much better.
[G2 General] zasebnoime:
Is there anyting necesery to do before playing gta vice city? because I must set in game screen resolution to 50% and visual effects to low, to play without lag. I have an international lg g2.
[G2 General] SKyRocKeting727:
Occasional lag here and there but nothing too noticeable. The stock keyboard gives me trouble sometimes. But overall, the fastest and snappiest phone I've had and ever played with. :cool:

Sprint g2 is always laggy
[G2 General] xdafoundingmember:
No lag.... maybe the odd lag. ...but only when using xda app
[G2 General] Norside:
The phone is pretty smooth normally, but once in a while it tends to micro stutter here and there.. But its not that annoying:)

And vice city is almost unplayable on this phone.. It lags like crazy! Anyone else experiencing this? This has to be software problems.. But otherwise I am happy with my phone :D
[G2 General] scififan68:
I've just flashed the latest nightly on my G2 and it runs very good with very little to no lag, and also GTA Vice City runs bad no matter what on the G2 it seems, it seems a bit more glitchy on the latest nightly though.
[G2 General] dParis:
That is unfortunate for you. My Sprint G2 is lag free.
[G2 General] SetNick:
Plus one. This is by far the best phone. Perfect size, and unexpected performance. 48hrs no charge on a bone stock phone with Sprint.
[G2 General] neugenusis:
Most of the complaints I see about the G2 lagging is over at the N5 forums, where they proclaim the N5 is "pure" and LG skin is causing lag.

Well I have both the N5 and G2. Despite that the N5 loads apps 1 second or less faster than the G2 in my trials, speed is practically the same. Me thinks most of them are trying to persuade themselves that their choice is justified.
[G2 General] SKyRocKeting727:
There are a lot of people that tries to justify that they made the right purchase on these forums. Nothing new. Qualcomm Announced its new Snapdragon 805 processor, it just made the G2/N5/Note 3 look old lol. :rolleyes:

[G2 General] stickmage:
No lag whatsoever on vice city max setting from my d803
[G2 General] Norside:
How is it possible? Snapdragon 800 2.3ghz 2gb and and plays with ca 15fps? My old s2 played it smooth on max but g2 isnt close to smooth.. That has to be bad game optimizing!
[G2 General] xdafoundingmember:
There is no lag
[G2 General] calbruc:
I see little bits of lag in some apps scrolling text, namely the XDA app and Reddit News.

And weirdly, the analog screen-off animation will sometimes lag a little bit, which I've never seen on any device, going back to my Thunderbolt.

Overall though, switching apps and whatnot is very fluid.
[G2 General] capt_f0r3st:
So according to this thread, the phone is not lagging at all. I had s4 before and the animations were not smooth, the navigation through the ui was not fluid, that is the main reason why I sold this phone. So if I purchase g2, is it safe to say I will not get into same lagging situation like with my s4? :)
[G2 General] jellopuddingstick:
Absolutely. The Snapdragon 800 screams.
[G2 General] subhani:
It is definitely less laggy than an s4 but not as smooth or responsive as the n5. It's the best compromise in my opinion. And I'm a nexus die hard fan. Especially at that price point. Luckily, the G2 is priced lower than every other flagship outside of the nexus.
[G2 General] dogswind:
+1 For no lag. I'm so satisfied with this phone that I haven't even looked up how to root yet. I thought with the seemingly overbearing UI, it would bog down. Hasn't happened at all here. There are a few games that have random lag, but when talking with the devs, it's pretty clear they just haven't optimized their games for the newer hardware yet. It's definitely not a phone issue. Being on Verizon, I can't speak for the Nexus 5, but compared to all the other flagships, this is by far the one to beat.
[G2 General] sdsubball23:
I don't own the phone, but I tried a unit at the Verizon store and although it was very snappy and fast, the scrolling had some lag. The browser also has some lag while browsing ESPN in desktop mode on Saturday's when they have the college football scoreboard section on their front page. I have a video of it on my YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXmZzBjql-Y&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I hope there's a fix for this browser lag and scrolling lag.

Or I have to return it to S-ON

You or someone I could confirm if the version

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The 3.18 RUU is the latest at&t RUU that has been released. It will update your hboot to 2.14, which is good because if you plan on running any recent aosp ROM you need that hboot. If you plan on staying stock though you'll have JB 4.1 running.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DanGeorges:
Timmaaa,

If I've upgraded the firmware and flashed Turge's 4.2.2 sense ROM, do you think it's safe to RUU back to stock?

The combination of the new ROM, the new firmware, and Beastmode kernel seem to produce bad behaviors like going to airplane mode during calls and random shutdowns.

Thanks,

Dan
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I haven't seen anyone report running an RUU while on the latest firmware, but if you're s-off you should be safe to do so. Please note I'm saying you SHOULD be safe, this is not a guarantee as I haven't tested it, but I'd assume that the theory is sound.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DanGeorges:
Thanks for the advice and warning. The firmware downgrade is the one thing that makes me hesitate.

Any ideas on the issues I'm experiencing? I really like the ROM. It's buttery smooth.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If you've upgraded your firmware you might not necessarily need to use the Beastmode kernel, you could try dirty flashing the ROM. This will in effect just replace Beastmode with the stock kernel.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] awadia:
Why is Nexus 7 2013 not in the compatibility list of leef and pqi micro usb drives
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] PJ Clifford:
IIRC, a stock, out-of-the-box, N7 can not use any USB drives. It requires helper apps, like Stickmount, which usually require, at a minimum, rooting the device. My understanding is that Nexus Media Importer (available as a paid app in the Google Store) does not need root. I have not tried it personally, though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] awadia:
Leaf and PQI dual drives

Thank you for the response.

I have taken a regular usb drive, connected with a micro usb OTG cable to the drive and used "Nexus Media Importer" and it works. My question is if I were to take one of these new Leaf or PQI drives which already have a micro usb connector and stick it into my Nexus and use the "Nexus Media Importer" will it also work? And if so why have Leaf and PQI not mentioned Nexus 7 2013 in there list?

It could be that they have not tested these drives against Nexus 7. So before I bought it I wanted to know if some one in this forum had already tested it and it had worked.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] PJ Clifford:
I

suspect

that it will work and they haven't tested them with the N7. That said, I've never used one so I can't be certain.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Sorry , if this has been answered before. I haven't worried about losing my unlimited data because I was happy on my Rezound. Now, though I am really looking at one of the newer handsets coming out this fall. I realize if I subsidize the phone I will be forced to give up my unlimited , but I notice my contract is up in December . Will I be forced out of unlimited in December even if I choose not to upgrade my phone ? If so I might as well take a subsidized phone otherwise I lose plan regardless. Just wondering if anyone has gone through this process recently.

Thank you for any responses.
[HTC Rezound] khwizar:
You dont lose your unlimited unless you make some types of changes to your current plan, or you upgrade without buying your new phone outright. You can also keep your current plan if you have insurance on your phone and make a claim,upgrading that way.
[HTC Rezound] clmowers:
Like the post above don't make any changes to your plan and don't buy a new phone and sign a contract. Might wanna check out eBay or something for cheaper phone as new phones out right cost anywhere from 300-700 bucks.

If they no longer carry your phone, they will give you one of equal value when you gotyour phone If they have none with same specs. At least that is how I upgraded from my Inc to Spectrum then this Rezound.

[About XDA developers] christopherwoods:
I'm STILL experiencing annoying problems with the FTP - namely that it doesn't support the commonest method of changing directories, CDUP. This is just stupid, there's no reason why CDUP can't be enabled (at the moment I have to manually specify folders to go back to if I want to navigate back to the root from being in a particular subfolder!)

Also, for some reason I tried to connect to the FTP with my Hermes over 3G in Opera Mobile, specifying the username and the password inside the actual URL (xda:xda@) and Opera STILL asked me for a username and password to log onto the server. And then, when I typed it in, it didn't like it, and kept on asking me again and again and again... The same Error 550 Permission Denied.

The forum's been (almost) sorted; please someone go take a look at the FTP and see if these problems can be sorted! I love the irony of not being able to access the FTP from an actual HTC device 8)

[About XDA developers] christopherwoods:

Re the Opera problem: same result. 550 error every time. Very curious, gotta be the way which it initiates the FTP transaction... Tried to packet sniff in promiscuous mode but I don't have wifi on my PC (getting a laptop soon but don't have it yet, so can't wifi packet sniff) and for some reason I couldn't pick up any packets coming from my PDA on the wifi network even though I'm connected via cat5 (so in theory I should see the traffic in wireshark)... I feel too ill to go messing about trying to make it work though, just thought I'd let you know it still doesn't work. Very odd.

Kudos for the CDUP enablement though. :D
