[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
On my side I don't have any heavy app, I don't do games, or HD stuff what I expect from my phone is to be able to show me my mail ... and that's where I have plenty of lag ( not all the time but everyday for sure).

Lag to open the mail, lag to delete the mail, lag to come back on the homescreen.

Up to 15 sec to come back from the settings menu.

My benchmark is the iphone 3GS but also the HTC P3600 and the HTC diamond which are not that fast

I have never been waiting so long in front of my phone.

Excuse me if I am working with my phone and I don't want to wait 10 sec all the time.

And stop insulting people who complains please

Oh and the comment about installing 50 apps .... please learn how android is supposed to work. I should be able to install 1000 app without any problem. Who care about the number of app installed ???

By the way, when I have a lot of lag I go in systempanel to see what it my amount of memory and it's around 30-50 Mb so it should not be a problem.

When my wife goes skiing with me, she thinks moving at 5 km/h is frightening lighting speed. :D

When I was still using my HTC Athena, everybody praises the ROM cook for the newest cooked ROM because it's as smooth as butter and as fast as lightning. Now, when I start that device (I still have it), I wonder how on earth I could have said it was fast.

Expectation, experience, and many thing else influence our verdict on a device's speed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dxtra:
There's definitely a problem with ALL Samsung galaxy S phone. If you want to settle for less go ahead, not me nor should anyone Samsung better fix this ASAP. Never againg will I buy a Samsung phone if they don't. There's two galaxy s in my home and they both lag and are unresponsive from time to time annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Maybe it is constructive to produce some scenarios in which the Galaxy gets "laggy", so there could be more insight in the problem. I don't experience that many "lags", so I'm getting curious in what people talking about. Can it be reproduced? Is there an invariant between all those laggy devices, like a piece of software maybe or a typical user scenario in which many games are played with heavy graphics or... can it be that there are just faulty devices out there?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
I know all that part, and know that the SGS doesn't seem to handle resources like other Android phones, hence my treating it like my old Windows Mobile phone, and it working fine as a result.

Other than background apps like battery monitor, anti-theft software, task manager, etc, I close each app when I am finished with it.

I use Advanced Task Manager (0.99 euro's) and set it to auto-kill every 2 hours for those apps that launch themselves, and it has a widget that you tap and kill everything not on the safe list.

I agree that it's a rediculous situation compared to every other Android phone, and the average user will probably just return their phone, but for me it's perfectly workable and I have a fast, stable phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Enarca:
Firstly I haven't experienced any lag when using email. I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but this app opens up in 2 secs, emails the same/ No problem at all. Again, I don't know what problem you're having.

Secondly I think your argument about apps is quite silly. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. I mean if you're going to push any device to the limit, of course it's gonna struggle. To claim it should be otherwise is naive. Of course I should be able to eat 20 tons of food. But I don't because I know I'll get fat and bloated, it's exactly the same for these phones and installing apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chriswren:
If you don't/can't use the features of the OS and phone phone such as widgets and services that update themselves or sync all you email addresses, RSS feeds and social network sites, play games (I'm not a game player), listen to music and watch movies.......... what is the point of the phone.

If I can't do it all at the same time, I might as well go back to carrying a seperate PMP or laptop and go get a Nokia.

Don't get me started on the GPS, it is toss.

It is not so much Samsung more the review wensites (gadgeteer, engadget and ilk) that spent 5 minutes fiddling with it and publish you can throw everything at this phone and it is still lightening fast......... in reality, you have to be very carefull what you install, patch&hack and run 3rd party memory managment tools.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
That's something I (and many others here at xda) would do anyways even if the phone was perfect with no problems.

I just want to say I have no lag. Very happy with the device.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] natsirt789:
And here i was, trying to devise a plan to figure out which apps and processes are eating my battery, and planning a way to kill them and so my SGS can last longer. We shouldn't even need to worry about this stuff with Android apparently!

Coming from Windows mobile, i'm not too fussed though, because i do the same with my old i900 omnia.

Praying that Froyo rids the need for task managers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
by the way, for people complaining about the lag, you should also try this out

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/install-apps-to-sd-or-device-memory-with-setinstalllocation/

the more free RAM you get, the less chances of having a lag
[Galaxy S I9000 General] riz157:
I've had my Samsung gs for two weeks now, I absolutely hated it due the lagging issue. So much so I was willing to sell it for a knock down price this was purely because of the lagging issue and the gps issue.

I had the desire prior to this which I was very happy with especially after rooting and flashing 2.2 boy was it fast. The only few things I don't like about the desire is the screen size and the video playback and internal storage. But overall was very satisfied. Then I bought the sammy gs and I was kicking myself about the descion, I bought it for £400 16gb but fortunately I stuck with it and managed to root it now running on JM2 rom and loving it. Beats any device out there at the moment.

It's fast graphics are brilliant video playback best camera good video recorder brilliant.

BTW 3 second wait is pants, especially when you are trying to show the device to iphone owners. But like i said that is no longer an issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] milsjg:
New firmware may solve your problem

Over in Android developments there has been several firmware updates the last week. I have tried both JG5 and JM1 (the first for a week). If you have problems with lag and GPS, and has the courage - skill to update you should do it, because of the clear improvement of both speed and GPS. There is a "sticky" guide how to do it in the beginning of the sub-forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yay! to that :cool:

i love flashing my SGS in a cloud of iphoners leaves them wwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaanting :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
So far, I have hard reset my SGS twice. I discovered that when the device is empty, it is fast enough. Howeever, once you load in many programs, the lag sets in very quickly. Don't know why.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it's easy if you understand how OS like windows and linux works.

it's just the buffer and swap drive, the more stuff you load on RAM, the more it needs to swap with the "hard drive" the more access to the hard drive the slower it gets.

that's why it's best to keep as much free space in RAM as possible, so that it wont need to use the SWAP drive.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I know what you're saying, but in this case the deterioration is happening too quickly and severly. My iPhone 3GS has more than 200 programs installed without any noticeable slowdown. My SGS is fast after had reset, but before I complete my customization, it's already dramatically slowing down, and I haven't even start to configure my email accounts, or use RSS feed yet and that's when I felt real drags previously. And i haven't loaded in my music, videos or photos yet. The only program that I've populated with data is my golfcard progrom from Senygma. The program on my iphone and on SGS are from the some software vendor, look and feel very similar, but there is a HUGH difference in response time. I have just appro 300 rounds of golf scores in it. I think there is some hardware architectural design issues here involving the way the internal USB and memory. May be even how multitasking is done in Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prankey:
Switch to JM2 and it should solve your problem. It also contains a task manager you could use to monitor the RAM usage and kill tasks instantly if needed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
When I was using wino, I was a ROM flash in addict, spending WAY too much time reading the posts on new ROMs. Often jumping from one imperfect ROM to another. Usually a few seconds after flashing, people would declare it the fastest ROM ever. Of course it's fast immediately after a flash. You get that speed even flashing stock ROM.

Not doubting you or anything. But if these ROM is so perfect, why do we see three new ROMs in 24 hours, and some people are flashing JM2 immediacy after JM1 flashing is done? Is JM3 released now? I want to finish reading the LOOONG thread and be assured there is no more GPS issue before wasting my time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buddy01:
Im sorry to hear people have problems. I had some myself with stock firmware. Im now flashed to JM2 and i have 0 problems. Long-pressing the homebutton now has a pretty good taskmanager too, even though it's NOT needed anymore.

Gmail opens instantly, dunno about other email apps though.

gallery used to take something like 10 seconds to open on stock, now it's 2 seconds fresh and instant if i had it open before(still open in background).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Yep, I'm going to do it then. Now downloading. Will take more than half a day unfortunatelyly to download. The server over there is unacceptably slow.

Team,

For those of you having trouble finding drivers here are some links.

64bit:

32bit:

For Linux and Mac the Android SDK drivers should work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I don't know if it is a conflict with my AV or something else, but when I use the x86 drivers linked, my phone will shut off completely when attaching with "PC Internet" option in the USB settings.

yes they have... This feels redundant. also add in that if you're a nub just install kies and it will auto dl the correct drivers you need.
[Captivate Android Development] nbs11:
Also on a mac you do not need the sdk. You do need to be in debugging mode though.
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
Also, you could just go to the Captivate webpage on Samsung's site and get the Captivate drivers, not the generic Galaxy S drivers linked in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
thanks was looking for these!
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
In Windows 7 I'm not having an easy time getting the phone to be recognized. If I click Start > Devices and Printers it shows up as Samsung_Android but even Kies won't recognize the phone so something is wrong. I also can no longer mount my external SD card and have it show up in Windows. I tried to uninstall all the drivers and reinstall but it keeps telling me there are already drivers installed...soo..... *shrugs*
[Captivate Android Development] mmm_tacos:
I had this problem on my desktop as well. I was using a front USB port on my computer and when I plugged it into one of the back ports, it worked. I also found the USB cable that came with the phone to work better than a cable I had lying around. Try different ports and if all else fails, try a different cable.
[Captivate Android Development] The Bishop:
So here's something bizarre. I've been using my PC (Win 7 64bit) for weeks now with my Captivate and no issues. Had originally had woes when I got it, but it started working. Anyway, today I plug it in and ... it doesn't recognize it. Have installed / changed NOTHING -- only M$ patches have been applied. Tried to roll back prior and get the lovely BSOD probably because I have 4 SATA Raptors RAID-0'd and M$ doesn't know how to use that, but has anyone else seen this behavior before?
[Captivate Android Development] The Bishop:
And to add to this. I rebooted my phone and now it works again. Very odd but problem solved.
[Captivate Android Development] Belaflek:
ive been trying for weeks and trying all three, generic Galaxy S, AT&T captivate drivers and Kies and can't get anything working in USB Mass storage mode or Kies mode...

This is on Windows 7 64bit. Driving me crazy. USB mode wont install the Mass storage drivers and Kies wont recognize
[Captivate Android Development] ggonzalez7777:
My issue is that when I connect the phone on Windows 7 32bit the phone and the internal SD card will connect but one I try to click on anything inside the phone or card the phone will immediately disconnect and then reconnect. When I try to click again it will repeat the disconnection. After that, I don't even have to click on the phone or card directories, it will disconnect then reconnect about 6 more times. Eventually it will be stable and not disconnect. This is extremely annoying. Anyone else with this issue.

Too bad that ATT did not include a movie or at least a trailer to show off the gorgeous Super Amoled screen. Is there a way to get the SD card with the movie that T-Mobile is offering just so we can sample the capabilities of the screen? I would also like to convert my ripped Blu Ray movies to this phone but I don't know of a software that can convert it to 480 x 800 screen. I currently use Xilisoft Video Converter but it doesnt offer that resolution.
[Captivate General] DanteDrac:
You should be able to set a custom resolution on that application. With that being said I was able to play some 1280x720 (720p) rips just fine on my Captivate.

Since they are posted on the internet I don't think he would mind if a dev wanted to alter and recompile them (giving him credit) to meet the needs of the Galaxy S.

Even if the multitouch bug is present, with configuration 2, it's still playable :)

It's fluid and great...

Really loving it :)

I thanks for the head-up.

I'm super surprised how it seems smooth... I've just tried it yesterday on my wife's Ipod because there is a free demo on it :) and it doesn't run as good as on your vid.

Can you tell me if your device have any kind of overclock config or if it's stock?

Thanks.

i tryed to play this game a several times, and try a several ways, but i never have sucess, where you download the file?

and need some config for make this work?

sorry for my bad english it´s not my first language

[Desire Themes and Apps] rubino90:
link of download pleaseeee :-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Alimud:
Desire NOVA

I too had the return to home screen problem until I brought the game directly from the Gameloft website, they will send a download link via text and when you install it will place 80Mb of data on your SD Card. This version works perfect on desire.

If you have install any other versions of the game you must delete all of the data from you sd card before downloading to new version, as they mush have also updated this to work on Desire.

And it the best game so far.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Zepiii:
I am simply running MoDaCo 3.1 (2.1 Android), no overclock config ;) I saw you were french and I wrote a french news recently about it, check this ;)

[NEWS] Le FPS futuriste N.O.V.A. fonctionne sur mon HTC Desire (et sur HD2)! Qu'en est-il du gameplay et du problème de multitouch? #Android

Yes, this bug is boring, but I am using in options the configuration 2, there you can make appear the pad where I want.

Just watch this < VIDEO > and try to understand the bug. Then you simply need to avoid it.

So, when I am running, I make the pad appear down left of the screen, and I move the view using the up right of the screen.

When I am shooting, I make the pad appear up left...

In fact, I try to avoid to create parallel lignes to the edge of the screen, and the bug doesn't appear...

You CAN'T ask warez, so I hope you weren't making it.

If you want to buy the game, just read my next quote and mainly what I put in bold.
[Desire Themes and Apps] im_bol2riz:
Thanks for the link and see ya on HTCDEV... ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] im_bol2riz:
Quick question... Do you know how DRM stuffs or else works if I decide to buy the game?

Level 3 tech suggests there might be a problem with GPS sats or it could also be the phone, but there is no way to troubleshoot so he recommends power cycling by removing the battery and SIM for 30 seconds and putting them back in.

Do they just make random stuff up?? haha. This is complete bs
[HD2 Accessories] clearscreen:
Hi forum,

first let me thanks for the forum, as a new htc hd2 user i found a lots of interesting things here.

I'm stuck with my old BK600 (com one, but omiz and freedom kb rebranded)

There are new keyboard (expensive), news driver (not working), future drivers (never going to be released), so as i'm a software developper, i wasn't really glad to abandon and to buy another. The problem is that've never made a driver for windows mobile, and i'm not specialized on bluetooth, so be indulgent...

After searching internet and seeing some articles, i've been on broadcom site (they're doin' the bt stack, so it's normal to go on their site ... guess what ...

i've downloaded the bluetooth stack sdk)

As i develop under linux, but also under windows, i've a visual studio 2008 installed. I compiled the Spp (probably serial port) sample, and without any driver the keyboard paired, negociated a serial port and the monitor show byte received when typing on the keyboard.

So now, if someone have some tutorials to write windows phone driver, i take.

I also would like to discuss about another approch.

What would you think to transcode the keyboard code received in a thread and to redirect them on standard input ? would it be possible ?

Anyway, my needs are very simple, just a bluetooth kb to type on it, no extra functions, ...

Regards.

CLS.

You should post this to the WM Development forum. There you will find many helpful developers.

Also as a first reply: you should search this on MSDN.

I wish you good luck in your journey for developing this driver...

I notice that text looks a little rough on the Captivate and could use some antialiasing. Text looks smoother on my old iPod touch and that thing has a lower resolution!

Is anyone aware of a way to enable antialiasing in Android, global or otherwise?
