Awesome phone but the phone is bit laggy.. anyone else facing the same problem or is it just me?
No lag for me, super smooth
I have loads of apps too
I would say its a little laggy, but anyone who comes from a Galaxy s2, like me, will say its a bit laggy. But it will get better with future updates, that I am sure of.
After doing a quick comparison today between three units, I can say the 1st two were super silky smooth whereas the 3rd demo unit (cheapest) was laggy; probably it had to much happening in the background. Ice Cream Sandwich should address this.

I recommend the V6 Supercharger script. Seemed to help for me. I'm running Sheep ROM.

It is pretty much accepted that the more's release rom, much like the galaxy s2's original rom, is laggy. It is also generally believed that like the s2, Samsung will work out all the kinks and get the note as snappy as the s2.
We will see what happens. It's not that laggy though, and its hard to notice unless you compare it directly with an s2.
So far for me lag only happens on using different launchers. Other than thy he phone is zippy as hell. Currently on XXKK9, Socrates only complains is occassional bad call quality complain from certain people I call. Some say it's great some not so.

I find the note to be very very fast.
There is some subtle studdering, when browsing, and I see no reason that wont get cleaned up on an update.
This device rocks!

It's laggy compare to my old phone, HTC Inspire which is single core,1.Ghz. I don't get it
Lag is the only thing I am not happy with Note.
For first few days it was super smooth but now i can witness some lagging.

Good advice. Just installed V6 9 RC4 with Nitro Lag Nullifier on Sheep ROM. Smoother + improvement in all synthetic benchmarks. Looks good so far. Thanks!
More tips for people complaining about lag:
- get some KK9/KKA ROM
- change CPU governor from ondemand to interactive.

when you click on the msg app & phone app it takes some time to open?

hi guys,
how long does your Note needs to wake-up?
mine needs about 1,5-2sec
i go back and fourth between the Note and the S2 running the exact same setup and S2 is noticeably quicker

Hi all!
I've some antutu results... it seems that on 1600Mhz, Note is far behind (compared to S2) in the following values:
2D (126 ?!)
3D (598 ?!)
SD card read (8.9MB)
this is with AbyssNote 3.1 kernel and Criskelo V1, but I've similar results with stock and other ROMs too. Using Chainfire's 3D driver don't change the results.
Do you have any knowledge about these values and/or the reasons behind 'em?
and what about real world performance not a benchmark?
benchmarks are great for giving people something to brag about, but these are not real world tests, compare it side by side for speed when using the phone not a benchmark

Try to run 2 or 3 time benchmark. this a known issue to Mali as GPU will always lock to 160mhz from the higher 267mhz..
For sdcard read/write use some app that change the sd cache size to higher value to increase that.

I really don't want to ignore you, but S2 is much more lagfree. And it seems that the GPU is really much slower than on S2. Please don't be an "Apple fan" who is just talking that "oo it's perfect, better than anything". NO. It (I mean the Note) has bugs. Serious ones.
It has been said millions of times...
The note has nearly twice the pixel of the s2 so it has to work much more for every frame...

You don't have to wait that long.
I'm blown away at how fast the lastest custom roms are (the XLA3 ones).
Samsung keeps releasing new ROMS every couple of weeks, and the Note just gets better and better with each one.

Exactly. Everyone knows that the S2 is currently a little bit snappier than the Note with stock ROMs. But the S2 has been out so much longer, so it's hardly surprising.
In a few weeks' time, the Note will be snappier on Gingerbread, let alone ICS.
You could say that manufacturers should get ROMs in better working order before they release the phones, but that's just the way software is moving in general (test out software on paying customers).

Note is pretty fast but ain't as smooth my dead S2. It's remarkable that Exynos can handle a large amount of pixels without slowing down that much.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Remember the S2 has to power 800x480=384000 pixels. While the Note has to power 1280x800=1024000 pixels.
This is 2,666666 times more!
Benchmarks dont mean anything. my S2 can score twice higher but it performs worse.
So... I've now given my HTC EVO 3D to my wife as a gift (not wrapped lol.. I just said she could have it so she has a nice phone)... and I've gone back to her old phone which is a Sony Vivaz. Now the only reason I got shot of the O2X in the first place was due to it lagging after even half a day, and the EVO 3D had 1GB of RAM and it doesn't lag at all. so.... basically.. now there is a stock LG ICS version (I assume there is looking at other threads?) has this resolved the lag? When I say lag, I mean it not even being able to play video's smoothly, and games nose diving in performance etc.
If this is the case... I'll probably be on the look-out for another O2X as I enjoyed having a nice bright screen and an HDMI port

Prior to ICS the custom rom's/kernel's lagged badly as well.. like they were out of memory.... are you 100% they don't lag? i.e. you don't have to reset your phone daily just to watch a movie or play a 3D game?
well take into account that the device only has 348mb ram? So It's a bit memory hungry but ICS performance overall is quite nice

This is not true. Do you have direct experience? What rom do you use?
I'm using 30B stock LG in Italy and I must say that I finally can touch high smoothness and fast performance.
Never found this with custom roms.

The stock fettled rom always worked best for me. I tried stock kernel and stefans kernel and some others but it didn't make any difference to the lag that happened after a random amount of time (within a day). The phone itself would be fine, just video and game performance sucked after a while. To be clear.. on a fresh restart/boot of the phone the performance was EXCELLENT... just it degraded after a relatively short time, and was the deciding factor for selling it. If this has been resolved with ICS I would REALLLLLY like to know.

I did take that into account. I found the best experience was with the fettled stock italian rom last year before ICS was released, but the phone always suffered with slow down, even within an hour of turning it on if I did something intensive like play a game or watch a video. It took half a day to a day to slow down if not doing anything intensive. It was REALLLLLY aggravating.
I do realise it has limited memory, but given it wasn't running ICS it really should have performed better for longer as such. If Tegra 2 needed more memory to continue running that that's what it should have had. It's an amazing phone (for the money) otherwise I thought.
If people who use there phone for video playback and say... playing a tegra 2 game like dungeon defenders could come in and comment on if performance degrades to getting REALLY bad frame rates after a while, I would really appreciate it. If you can go for a month or something playing games and watching video's without an issue, I REALLY like to hear about it.
@Scougar,
I'm very sorry for you.
I bought 2x on oct 2011, not for playing games as first goal, I have been happy with 20S (removing some unused system apps) for many months and now I am with 30B.

dont know how anyone can say that cm10 is smooth for example (havent tried stock ics yet tho), because its just so awfully slow for me, lags more than cm7, im sure its because of higher ram consumption. even with swap partition enabled. i mean it IS very smooth, when it works that is, but it quite often has these awful slowdowns for me when the phone just puts me on ignore mode lol
i mean its pathetic, cant even have 2 tabs open in chrome without having to reload the pages after switching tabs. movies and games work great tho, never had any issues, on any android version. best thing about this phone really.
Look i understand what you are saying but the weird thing is with the build from jan 2013+ the performance is just amazing..
And I never experienced a bsod nor a freeze nor a slowdown and not even a single fc i really don't knoa but some people have strange p990's or i just got myself a special one eheh.

lol, sorry for me? You shouldn't be, because I 'upgraded' to the EVO 3D, on an amazing sim-free deal for it, and it worked perfectly for me, without issue and had ICS for months before LG. I'm just considering coming back to the O2X as I really loved it apart from the lag. I would prefer to use a stock modded rom so that I get full functionality rather than fast performance and missing options.
I will keep my eyes open for one.. but they are pretty expensive for such an old phone (which is weird).
I am running CM10 on the new boot loader with custom kernel and its darn near perfect for me. Smooth as butter and battery life is as good as pure CM7 ROM.
Running on CM10 with ICS bootloader....It is very smooth & lag free for me

No lags with stock LG ICS 30B, very smooth full functons and stable.
Maybe in some months we'll have a stable CM10.1; CM7 took at least six months to be a stable version (missing of some functions).

Hello guys! I am planning to buy either the HTC One or the S4.
One of the issues I am not sure of is the 3d graphics of the One. Is it good for gaming? And I mean heavy games like MC4, NOVA 3 and GTA VC.
Also, a quick question: if the HTC One 32GB is selling at SGD $488 while the S4 16GB is selling at SGD $578, which will you buy, if you were a gamer, a ROMer and a photographer all at once?

Is the camera good? It is an ultrapixel camera, something new in the market.
Is the gorilla glass 2 OK? I always throw my phone in with my calculator, wallet, keys and stuff.
Lastly, why is only 1.5 GB of RAM usable? For the S4 it has 1.8GB. is it a software or hardware thing?

Cameras average, glass is great, back is scratch able - I have two scratches. The HTC One has a better multitasking experience. The ram is used for the GPU
Running Vice City right now, runs great. So far have played Street Fighter IV, Spider-Man, Dark Knight Rises and Iron Man 3. All pretty smooth experience. Some lag and redraw problems in the Gameloft games, but I suspect it's because Gameloft didn't optimize them.
What do you guys think of the battery? Does it last for the day even with some gaming?

Should be better than S4 when it comes to battery longetivity when used. But S4 is far better when we're talking about idle times battery saving.

Iron Man 3 plays nice but does have a slight lag in the beginning if you do not have you're wireless set up I think its trying to phone home or access some crappy advertisement. I do not believe it is a phone thing. Battery life does suffer when gaming but overall the battery life is quite good and will get me though a full day with decent gaming, Facebook, YouTube and internet surfing.
Both are great phones. I chose the One over the S4 for the Build quality and I used to have a Samsung Glide which had issues with GPS, The one locks on GPS instantly.

Oops, one more question.
Does the HTC One experience frame drops when lots of instances are on the screen? This would be one of the deciding factors between the One and the S4!
From the S4 thread:
From all the review and test I saw, i9505 suffer from little lag using Air features and has less fps in games. I tried Zombiewood(gameloft) on i9505 and i9500, when there are a lot of zombies who appear, the i9505 become really laggy whereas the i9500 still run flawlessly.

I don't own the HTC One, but I just hate its ugly face with the 2 ugly speakers on the top and on the bottom.

The phone suffers 0 frame drops even when heavily multitasking. It's smooth as a baby's bum.

Have been using SII for about a year and a half now.
I don't know how but recently i have got tired of this 4 inchy and
really want a bigger screen.
And I'm getting an offer to exchange it with galaxy note. On paper galaxy note seems
ted powerful and with a better display as well.
But what I'm really concerned about is the real life difference in performance. I have heard from some
friends that NOTE is actually on a bit slower side than SII.
Would love to hear from guys who have used both the phones and please suggest should I go for the exchange.

It's barely noticeable slower. Specially in screens transitions and scrolling through lists that have images.
Maybe because of the higher resolution of the screen.
But in my opinion totally worth the upgrade
The bigger screen makes watching videos and playing games an amazing experience
Total worth the upgrade mate.
Go ahead and do it. Good luck :thumbup:

Thats what I'm really concerned about. The reslotion of the galaxy note is almost 70 to 80 percent more than galaxy SII.
Theoretically that should mean galaxy note require around 1.8 to 2 Ghz dual core processor if I'm right to perform as snappier as galaxy SII.
And that's why there's a lag in UI and general use I guess.
I really like the s pen and the screen size.
But I do feel HD resolution is too much of an asking for a dual core.
Please correct and guide me if I'm wrong.
Waiting for your comments eagerly.
As far as I know, the pixels are "moved around" by the GPU , not the CPU.
So the processor has nothing to do with the lag.

The pixels are rendered by the GPU, not the CPU, but yes, they are also the same, and it's the reason for the difference.
It can get pretty smooth tough. Don't worry about performance. You won't have any trouble

Got Note finally. And after a month of use I don't think I would look back. Cheers.
Yes, the note is slower than s2. I also can't use android 4.1.2 as it's extremely laggy (this may happen only with my note).
The phones screen size makes it impossible to comfortably use this phone with one hand, so You mostly have to use both of Your hands.
If You're aiming for a bigger screen or for the spen's precision I would definitely recommend You this phone.
I must say I wouldn't go back to s2,as the spen is very important for me.
What do You want from this phone?

I really like the spen. But the lag problem is an issue with me too. I flashed indian version first and a few days back
I flashed the Uk xxlt9 firmware(obviously aftera full wipe). But I dont see much difference in those 2 versions. I guess jelly bean
is really too much for this phone(atleast stock one). I tried cyanogenmod too but I really missed the neat built in features of the spen so I
moved back to stock jelly bean. But its really annoying when a 200 dollar phone beats it in benchmarks and general use. Or may be I'm
expecting too much off this device.
After a month or so of use.. This is what I feel-
Stock jelly bean- Battery life is good(as long as u keep the screen off )
Typing and general UI is way too laggy.
Touchwiz is beautiful ( I know am the only one but I really like the design and transitions)
Spen is nicely integrated and snote is nicely designed. I use it a lot personally (only after it opens a decade to open)
Cyanogenmod 10.3 nightlies- Fluid and really usable. Sleek.
Flat and boring untill you dont use a theme.
Camera not at par with stock jb.
Huh.. A lot of writing i guess. These were my observations. But what I really want is stock experience with cyanogenmod like speed.
Is there anyone who's in same sort of situation like me.

Stock jelly bean- Battery life is good(as long as u keep the screen off )
Typing and general UI is way too laggy.
Touchwiz is beautiful ( I know am the only one but I really like the design and transitions)
Spen is nicely integrated and snote is nicely designed. I use it a lot personally (only after it opens a decade to open)
Cyanogenmod 10.3 nightlies- Fluid and really usable. Sleek.
Flat and boring untill you dont use a theme.
Camera not at par with stock jb.
Huh.. A lot of writing i guess. These were my observations. But what I really want is stock experience with cyanogenmod like speed.
Is there anyone who's in same sort of situation like me.

Finally someone that has the same problem with JB.
Man, I usually have 120-150 apps installed (I have to have them) and any JB ROM is UNUSABLE for me. Even stock JB laggs, after restoring my apps it's....agh If the phone wasn't so expensive I would throw it against the wall. Why did JB work on SGS2 like a charm and on the Note it sucks so much?
That's why I had to use ICS. It doesn't have the Spen hovering & scrolling features (which I really miss ) , but it's fast and almost lag free.
However CM10.2 is the fastest I've used so far. I'm really astonished, it's a beta ROM and it's way better than official one (WTF?).
I bought this phone for the Spen and that's why I'm using it a lot. I only hope that the Spen won't start to fell out of the phone as it's getting easier to take it out.
I think I will never switch from the note series, as the spen is veeery important for me (well, maybe when there will be some other phone with thin stylus )

Yeah, give me too hehe.
I would like to see all those hovering etc. stuff. Maybe it will be possible if official 4.3 comes out to note 2 and then it will be ported to our note.
But I don't think so
And the throwing part.. I feel exactly like you.. Lost brothers? Lol
I dont see 4.3 coming to this lovely device anytime soon. But the main point here shouldn't be just running after the latest android version. It should be making the current firmware as best as it can be. How come GB and ICS be faster than JB, no one knows except samsung or god. Lol

Ok, the older android versions don't require so good specs, but there shouldn't be such a big difference between ics and jb. I hope the notes 2 official android 4.3 will be ported to our old note 1.

Can't believe how bad the performance is when playing games, even ones that aren't as graphically intensive like Galaxy of Heroes. I had the S8+ for 5 months and never had issues with performance. Also, I've tried running the phone in different performance modes including "Game Mode" and it doesn't make a difference.
I don't know, I just tried NFS right now and I didn't have any problems. At ALL.

What type of trouble shooting have you done?
Mine is doing great! What's yours doing?

You got something going on because this phone handles literally everything I throw at it without even the slightest stutter. Best gaming experience I've had on a phone to date.
Did you mess the phone performance settings? I tried galaxy of hero's and no lag what so ever. Even pokemon go which lags like hell on my v20. Runs butter smooth on my notre 8.

What variant of the phone do you have? Have you try to do a factory data reset as well?

lol ofcourse its him but lets try to see why he is having the issues maybe the install of the rom when they shipped the phone is why
My Note 8 has been chewing up and spitting out everything I've thrown at it. No lag or stutter and doesn't even get warm. At max resolution and "optimized mode"
I too am having lag on galaxy of heroes, I haven't tried other games but I was surprised.
Wonder if it's just this game? The rest of the phone performance is second to none I'm very impressed. I am worried though because I play GoH quite a bit and will become annoyed almost certainly
Wonder if it's specific to this game for now. Maybe a software patch will fix?

Careful using that analogy "Butter Smooth" someone may call you "Ignorant" as I was in another post.

When I compare pokemon go to a v20 and a pixel so. The game lags really bad and it's well documented that the game lags. Them when I play out on my note 8. There is no lag just smooth transition from the going I to battle or gyms or poke stops. I tried that star wars game and had no lag and even recorded a video. Ado they can call me what ever they want. I can back up my claim

Sure did.
I had issues with lag and stuttering and other oddities. Factory reset and it is smooth.
My lag is actually worse when I am playing galaxy of heroes after factory reset. I haven't played other games so I'm not sure if this is still isolated to GoH but I did run Epic citadel benchmark and it was really smooth, not a single hitch. I think this is specific to the game.
Interestingly, I did use game mode to turn on battery saver performance and improved my lag. Not sure what that is all about.

I'm not the one who said that but to be fair, the discussion was about scrolling, not game play. This phone may handle games better but the scrolling smoothness is not perfect. On performance mode, I'd say it's damned close to perfect. Still a hiccup there or there but not many. Without performance mode, it was far too frequent for my liking.
