Swype mangled my post beyond all recognition. When I read it just now, I literally asked myself"who's this idiot?" Before realizing I had written it... and swype had edited it LOL.
[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
Hahah, once again, I need to proof read these. "Same for the flash" was referring to the fact that it also wouldn't necessarily get in the way of porting the Nexus S' ROM to the vibrant. It has no bearing

2nd to last sentence should have read "It could be the reason the Nexus S has no 720p video recording." That is to say, a front camera, from what I remember by glossing over the FFC-for-Vibrant-mod thread, degraded the quality of the rear camera on the Vibrant. Thus, the rear camera on the Nexus S, which does have an FFC, suffers just like the Vibrant's.

That last quote I cannot blame on Swype though.... that was just a brain fart!

[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
For those who haven't used a Galaxy S running Android 2.2, let me get you up to speed on a disappointing situation we have on our hands.

First, you should be aware that Galaxy S phones running Android 2.1 provide one of the smoothest Android browsing experiences around (even compared to other Android phones running 2.2). Scrolling is exceptionally smooth in most scenarios.

As you may have heard, Google heavily optimized the browser in Android 2.2. Unforunately, it seems they optimized it with Qualcomm (Snapdragon) processors in mind. While browsing became faster and smoother on phones with Qualcomm processors, it became (much) slower on phones with Hummingbird processors, especially when it comes to scrolling. Scrolling on websites with moderately heavy content (especially when you're zoomed out) is a chore on Galaxy S phones running 2.2. It's very jerky and slow. This is the case even when Flash is completely disabled, so that isn't the cause. If you've read many Galaxy Tab reviews, you've probably seen them point out how surprisingly jerky scrolling is in the browser.

Fortunately for Galaxy S users, Samsung has taken notice of the problem and last week leaked an Android 2.2.1 build for Galaxy S phones that includes GPU acceleration within the browser. This effectively fixes the problem. On this leaked build, scrolling is very smooth again in the browser. Even smoother than it was on Android 2.1 in fact. The only downside is that checkerboard patterns are occasionally seen when scrolling quickly, as is the case with GPU accelerated browsing in iOS and WP7.

Many of us were hoping the real fix would come with Gingerbread since Google was finally optimizing Android for a Hummingbird powered phone (the Nexus S of course). Unfortunately, after watching and reading several reviews of the Nexus S, I am disappointed to tell you that the problem hasn't been resolved. The Nexus S running 2.3 suffers from the same poor browser scrolling performance as the Galaxy S line does running 2.2. If you're coming from a Snapdragon based phone running 2.2 or a Galaxy S running 2.1 or 2.2.1, you WILL notice how slow scrolling is in the browser of the Nexus S.

If you want to see for yourself, take a look at the following video starting at about 12:50:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xClO6d-S86w&feature=player_embedded

At this point, we can only hope for review sites to bash the browsing performance and for Google to take notice and do something about it (better optimization or GPU acceleration like in the leaked Galaxy S 2.2.1 build). Please voice this issue loudly in every forum you visit and pray that Google sees it and makes fixing it a priority.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Its an issue with flash
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Did you even read what I wrote? The slow scrolling remains even with flash disabled or completely uninstalled.

Also, look at the Nexus One right next to the S in the video scrolling 10 times faster. It has flash enabled too.
[Nexus S General] LK_Harry:
What a pity!

It will fix one day...eventually...

I wanna see a PERFECT Nexus S...
[Nexus S General] emuneee:
Are there REALLY Snapdragon optimizations in Android 2.2's browser or is that just hearsay because browsing is laggy on the Galaxy S?
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Might be the crappy website he's on, other reviews shows other websites with flash and it's buttery smooth.

Also, you CAN NOT compare the Nexus S with PURE ANDROID 2.3 with a Samsung Galaxy S series phone with SAMSUNG TOUCHWIZ ANDROID! They are night and day comparisons!
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
I have trouble believing this when none of reviews I have read make mention of browser lag at all, and the videos I have seen show the Nexus S scrolling quite smoothly.
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
1) Browser scrolls smoothly on Galaxy S with 2.1

2) Google "optimizes" the OS and browser for 2.2 while using a Snapdragon based phone for development

3) Browser scrolls horribly on Galaxy S with 2.2

Maybe they didn't intentionally optimize for Snapdragon. I don't know. Call it what you will, but Google certainly made changes to Android that helped Snapdragon CPUs and hurt Hummingbird CPUs when it comes to browser smoothness.

It's not the website. I've looked into this thoroughly for the last couple months and scrolling is slow on pretty much any website with a lot of content... Anandtech, Engadget, Gizmodo, Pocketnow, etc. If it was just a bad website, then why does the Nexus One in the video scroll so much smoother? It's clearly a problem with Android 2.2+ on Hummingbird processors.

THE PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FLASH! Flash works FINE on Galaxy S phones as well as the Nexus S and runs perfectly smooth. The problem is noticeable on websites with a lot of images and html content.

Yeah well they have one thing in common. They both scroll slow as hell in the browser on content heavy sites with Android 2.2+!

You can make all the excuses you want, but when you get a Nexus S and realize how slow browser scrolling is compared to your old Snapdragon phone running 2.2 or your old Galaxy S running 2.1 you'll understand what I'm talking about.
[Nexus S General] touchpro247:
I agree. Looks fine to me in this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_pz3nQVJa8&NR=1

Like it or not. This is Google we're talking about the web is there thing it will get better.
[Nexus S General] touchpro247:
Delete......
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Did you watch the Anandtech video I posted? The proof is right there! I believe Joshua Topolsky also mentioned briefly in the Engadget podcast this week that the browser felt slower than it should.

This slow scrolling is ONLY in the browser and ONLY on websites with a lot of content. The scrolling also isn't as bad when you're zoomed way in. Keep those things in mind when you see a video of the Nexus S scrolling in the browser.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Dude, you need to relax. This phone is not even released yet. By the way you talk, you make it sound like you've been using a Nexus S for a couple months now.
[Nexus S General] lokto7:
How about other browsers such as Skyfire opera dolphin???
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
I did, and what I'm saying is that that's the only instance of lag we've seen or heard mentioned so far, even with 'professional' reviewers reviewing the phone. I'm not going to deny that there could be a problem though, but we'll have to wait until Thursday to know for sure.
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Phonedog isn't an extremely content heavy site and he's zoomed in when he scrolls around, but I do still notice a little stuttering. I was trying to find a Galaxy S with 2.1 browsing phonedog.com to see if it's smoother, but couldn't.
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Heard of the Galaxy S? Yeahhhh. Same phone, different software. I was hoping 2.3 would solve the issue but it looks like it doesn't from what I've seen/read.
[Nexus S General] n1kki6:
Hoestly that video you posted made up my mind for me, I am picking up the nexus s on thursday instead of going back to the MT4G. That thing is silky smooth. Don't care about the one hiccup in this video.
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
That Anandtech video isn't the only place I've seen/heard about it. I own a Galaxy S and we've been dealing with this problem for months, so excuse me if I'm terrified at the first signs that the Nexus S browser is laggy.
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
That's fine. I'm not out to bash the Nexus S or the people that buy it. The Nexus S is clearly an AWESOME phone and I want to get one. I simply don't want the browsing experience hampered by software that doesn't play nice with Hummingbird. I want Google to take notice that their latest software made changes that cause Hummingbird processors to scroll very choppy on content heavy sites in the browser. I want them to fix it or at least make it like it was on 2.1 because this phone could be so much better!
[Nexus S General] raeef:

[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Look at post #15.
[Nexus S General] :
Go ***** at samsung for not creating the right software to tie android to their hardware.
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Oh believe me, we did, and Samsung gave us GPU acceleration in the browser as a workaround. The problem lies in the code that Google wrote. Before you go and say it was TouchWiz's fault, consider that this same lag is present in AOSP 2.2 and CyanogenMod 6.x (2.2) for the Galaxy S line.

I did a quick search and found a couple other review sites besides Anandtech and Engadget that noticed it.

http://www.businessinsider.com/first-impressions-nexus-s-2010-12#

http://boomnews.info/in-depth-hands-on-google-nexus-s-review/

Anyways, if you own a Galaxy S and have used 2.2, you probably know very well what I'm talking about. If you don't, then you are probably skeptical. Let's just wait and see how this plays out over the next couple weeks and see if we don't get some posts about this once the phone is released. I may have posted this information prematurely and my goal was to push Google to improve this already amazing phone. It seems people are taking it personally and think I made up this story for ****s and giggles, but whatever. I am asking mods to close this topic down now.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
I'm running Axura on my Vibrant with the voodoo lagfix and browsing is fine... anandtech isn't a content heavy site either. By fine, I mean acceptable. My MT4G handles flash and browsing better... it's faster, not sure about smoother since the MT4G is just a choppy phone generally, but it sure as hell is faster. I don't have high expectations for the Nexus S since I know hummingbirds are crappier at flash content.
[Nexus S General] ksc6000:
you know, just this morning i made a thread regarding this....you could've posted in that one and told me to change the title to remove the "flash" :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872755
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Apologies. I should have. I guess knowing that Flash isn't the root of the issue caused me to skip right by your thread.
[Nexus S General] ksc6000:
I agree with you though. This has me really concerned. However, if its not flash related, perhaps u can answer my questions since you have a SGS. When you're watching a flash video that is high quality, the Nexus One's framerate of the video drops to like 3/sec. How is it on the Galaxy S?
[Nexus S General] :
I'm not talking a about inside of android, I'm talking about low level stuff.

Google is not and cannot be responsible for every single possible hardware configuration.

The resonsibilites lies on samsung to create proper libraries that jive the hw and software (well before you get into the OS).

AOSP and CM roms are using libraries/drivers/etc the same that a rom directly from samsung is.
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Oh, I see what you're saying. Although Google did scrap at least some of the drivers for the Galaxy S and rewrote them for the Nexus S. We can see from the just released kernel for example that the screen driver has been rewritten.

In any case, like I said, Samsung has fixed the horrible scrolling in the latest Galaxy S firmware by adding GPU acceleration. At the very least Google needs to get this code from Samsung and implement it on the Nexus S. I will try to upload a video here soon showing my Galaxy S with the latest 2.2.1 firmware and GPU acceleration scrolling through that Anandtech site like butter.
[Nexus S General] raeef:
Well, then we have to wait and see. If I get one on Thursday I will test it badly, the 30 days are enough for that.
[Nexus S General] neok44:
okay, the next person who posts that stupid video with the glitched flash should be banned form xda.

Go look at ANY OTHER VIDEO of the Nexus S browser and you see smooth scrolling. It's just that one video in which the flash is screwed up and thats causing the issue.
[Nexus S General] ksc6000:
gtg465x, take a look at this video.

This is my Nexus One viewing a review on Gamespot.com, first I view it in "normal" quality and then "HD". You can see normal is watchable but choppy, and HD just slows down to a frame a second.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jpjbEutFuY

Here is the link for the video. Can you see how it works on ur Galaxy S compared to my phone? http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/...-review?tag=summary;watch-review#toggle_video
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Same.

10char
[Nexus S General] ksc6000:
Disappointing. I guess then I shouldn't expect any improved performance from flash videos from the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
Alright I'm uploading a video of my Galaxy S scrolling on Anandtech with the latest GPU accelerated browser firmware. When some of you lucky ones get a Nexus S you can compare to this and we can run comparisons on other sites as well and then decide whether something needs improving on the Nexus S.

edit: Here ya go (may take a few minutes for youtube to process):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkZZXeF5uV8
[Nexus S General] ksc6000:
Amazing difference. Too bad if the actual flash video playing isn't any improved over the Nexus One...this doesn't help take away that disappointment. But you've definitely proven your point.
[Nexus S General] clubtech:
I have both the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Tab and i know what the OP is talking about.

I also watched all the video reviews on YouTube and i have to agree with the OP.

It seems that the browser is going to have the same issue as the SGS and SGT on 2.2 had until recently.

Samsung fixed both the SGS and the SGT in the recent leaked firmware where they indeed enabled GPU acceleration in the browser or they did something - but now it is super smooth.

All the videos of the Nexus S i saw are pointing that the browser will be suffering from the same lag. Shame.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
Are they apps that you have ever had installed? Try installing an app that you have never had installed and see if that works. If it does, then use a file explorer (I use astro), and see if there's anything in the folder titled ".android_secure" (without the quotes of course) on your sdcard. I actually had this problem before, and there was some left over app data that was interfering with the installation I guess
