I just got my galaxy s3 for less than 2 weeks, and it's lagging while opening apps/photo/settings. Is there defect with my phone or what?
A Quad Core, 2GB Ram phone can be more lousier than my old Galaxy S2 which is only Dual Core & 1 GB of ram!
Have you rooted or added loads of apps ?
non-rooted and not maybe apps. 16 games, less than 10 downloaded apps ~

Are the games and apps all from creditable suppliers ?
Ah, but it can be slower than your old phone, thanks to the developers - and I use this term loosely - at Samsung. They have a talent for combining good hardware with unbelievably bad software.
For one, I'd make sure you're using the latest firmware. The out-of-the-box experience for me was that the phone was noticeably slower than my original Galaxy S, and just updating it with Kies helped immensely.
Second, try not using the touchwiz launcher. It's always been laggy for me, and, to be honest, that's the least of its many faults.
Mine was / is very fluid and stable. But i've heard other people also complain about lag in their new S3. Try to exchange it?
Try without a memory card (if you have one).
'Bad' memory card can result in lag as you mentioned.

Yes, all apps are from reliable dev.
Im using Nova Launcher.
Removed sd card and it has no difference so i guess its nt the sd card fault.

How high are your settings for Nova? Try tweaking some of the look and feel settings and see if it's faster.
Also, custom roms?
Will flash custom rom and root after sending in my phone to service .
Will try tweaking the settings n see if it works.

I had the same feeling, but after I flash a custom rom every thing became normal again.
Try RipperRom v9.5! personally I found it to be faster than the v9.6

Hey guys, I think a few days ago i came in asking about battery issues and such. But this time i need to ask about the lag issues. I was an sgs2 owner, and i can say the SGS 2 in the long run as in leaving it on for a longer time, seems to hold itself better then the note.
When launching dolphin or whatsapp the note seems to stutter for a moment and when calling out the keyboard and typing it in it stutters at times. But then everything goes well. In terms of free ram i notice the sgs2 has like 500++ of free ram everytime i use the app killer. But the note only has like 300+. I wonder if this is the cause of those short spurts of lag.
I wish to remedy this issue, and if it means changing the kernel or using a whole new rom i don't mind. (Better battery life would be an added plus)
I'll just leave my specs down just incase anyone out there could help troubleshoot or give me some hints to my current situation.
The lag is very minimal but annoying at times ya know.

Try to update the phone to 2.3.6.
There have been a lot of performance fixes.
I've noticed those little lags at 2.3.5 too but now they are gone.
..well i have a lags with 2.3.6.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
the only lag that bugs me is that when i first start typing on the keyboard, it has a bit of lag for 1-2 seconds. after that its generally fine. nothing game breaking, but still annoying.
and yeah, i noticed the crappy amount of free ram ages ago. tempted to install a vanilla ICS rom whenever one is available.
Hey guys. I'm a new Galaxy Note owner. Just had it for 2 days now, and while I've experienced some minor issues this is still by far the nicest phone I have ever used. My previous phone was a rooted and CM7'd HTC desire.
Regarding general lag on this phone, I've found that using a lot of widgets can cause slowdowns. If you try removing some, or all widgets, does this speed things up for you somewhat? I've removed most of the samsung bloatware including almost all of the tw interface. Now i'm using ADW2 as my launcher, 3 screens, smart keyboard pro, and dialer ex.
Still looking to flash to Cyanogenmod or ICS whenever that becomes available.
Mine was very Laggy. I used Autokiller to see all the crap that was running. It was truly amazing that damn near everything installed on Android runs some kind of Demon, and stay resident program.
My lag immediately disappeared after terminating this junk that I had not run in a week or so. Looks like some sort of Windows version of Linux!

BTW, coming to the original question, try KL3 ROM. Up until now(KKA), I was having severe lag issues with 3rd party launchers, but with KL3, all that is history. So I assume KL3 is a much faster ROM overall. Also, try freezing the apps that are running these heave/unnecessary background processes.
I'm on AbyssNote 2.2, stock KL3 ROM if it matters to you...
How do i go about getting this KL3 rom? Any step by step guide?

use "startup cleaner pro" app. you can select apps which you DONT want to startup during restart/reboot etc. most of the installed apps automatically start on its own during reboot/restart etc. so install this app and remove all unwanted apps startups. i had this prob with S2. and after using this app, after startup it shows hw many apps were autokilled..mine shows like 35-40 apps!!!
Just got KL3 it seems a lot snappier. No keyboard lag any more. Also found a setting in ADW2 EX for cache quality, turned it to low which has improved things slightly. Just had the new ROM for a few hours but everything so far is working well.

It's not available OTA. you need to connect your SGN (via USB) to your pc/paltop having Kies installed. Kies will detect firmware upgrade and allow you to download and install.
Are you guys on the German Note to get this update? I'm thinking of getting it unlocked, or maybe just from Vodafone here since it's out, but I HATE how long it takes VF to update their phones (I'm also not a fan of rooting for warranty purposes).
I can confirm upgraded from previous firmware to KL3 nowipe using mobile odin no cache wipe or anything, the phone went from having major lag to being snappy and battery savings are huge.

Hi notmevlak!
Yes i totally agree, the Galaxy S is still a very attractive phone and is imo still better than most budget phones in the same price range. I have been running many different roms i all generations (gb, ics and currently jb) and I have to say that JB is amazing on the galaxy S. Iam currently running a stock rom ported from the Galaxy nexus with a galaxy s3 theme (Launcher and everything) and It's silky smooth! Almost no lags at all if youre thinking about the UI.
You can find that rom on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902777
The best way to find a rom that suits your needs is to try them all. I see myself as a real flasholic hehe, it's like youre getting a new phone each time
Good luck! And if youre wondering about anything else, feel free to ask!

I guess part of the answer is related to how you define 'lag'...
I have been running CM10 for about a month or so and been really impressed with how fast my GalaxyS runs on Jelly Bean. I haven't tried some of the other roms because CM10 does everything I need really well. I am coming from the earlier GB 2.3.3 version and for me, JB is way faster on this phone. From my experience, similar to many other posts I have read, installing JB was like getting a new phone.
In reality, some apps take a a few seconds to load and you can tell when a given app is taxing the system but to me this is acceptable knowing we only have a single core processor and 512 Mb. I can listen to any song, watch any youtube video and play most games and apps I have tried. It's not perfection and certainly a dual core or quad core rig with 2 gig of memory would be better but you won't get anything like that for $100 or less.
I would never consider a win phone simply because it would be pretty much a dead end for apps...while this phone can still run any app I have tried short of the super intensive games that need a tegra or something...
Will I get a new phone when my contract is up? Sure, if its free. Will this phone do me for another year until then? I'm pretty sure it will...
FYI: CM10 just updated to JB 4.1.2 last night...only a day after it was released for the Nexus 7.
My 2 cents...
Try codename-3.6.5 finally

atm i have the galaxy s, had it since it came out and haven't upgraded since (either didn't feel the need to or too financially challenged lol).
Anyhow, I was on GB roms for ages but changed to JB ones (skipped ICS altogether), and i gotta say the SGS does a fine job running JB. If you're worried about lag and battery problems, I can safely say that the phone handle JB beautifully. You'll probably need to charge the phone at the end of every day but there's not worries about lag or any other issues. Battery drain was my main concerning but I've figured out that you can get the phone lasting off one charge if you turn off wifi and 3G when you aren't using the internet. You won't be able to play games on it for hours but i barely use the phone for games since im bored of them all.
Hi
I am using samsung galaxy i9000. its a great device but one feature that irritates me is that it has just 512mb of ram. i have used many ROMs but still can't find any suitable ROM that consumes less ram. By less i mean max 200 mb.
Please tell me that there is a ROM that has no bugs and is not addicted to the Ram of my device. :crying::crying:

I've had this phone for two years and I've done everything you can imagine with it, not once have I come anywhere near running out of RAM... Have you actually run into problems? And how? I'm on CM10.1 right now and it's sitting at 209MB used.
Now I've been trying for several minutes to make a problem with it. Opening everything I can and making it all use as much RAM as possible at the same time. The cache is full now, but it's sitting at 212MB used when I go to the running apps page. Your problem is a mystery to me.

Well i am using different apps for different purposes insted of using custom apps. like GO SMS, Go launcher, and some keypad apps.
and most importantly it slows down the games like subway surfer, 6 guns. and there are many other lags that accour after running some apps.

Are you looking for a JB ROM?
Try using some clean AOSP ports: Oficial Android 4.2 (Galaxy Nexus Stock Rom) <Beta 1> by Dev Elitemovil / presenter: iall5tar,
or custom mixes build on sources: Slim Bean 4.2.1 RC1
You should also consider giving a try some older ROMs from Gingerbread (2.3.6) family. You will find fairly up-to-date i9000 ROM list over: HERE.

I was playing with the phone, thought of losing everything, the root, the awesome CoCore kernel and everything else.
I switched back to the Stock DDULP8 firmware and thought to play with it for a few days. And dear lord the performance and the entire experience was horrible, even Doodle Jump was lagging. What did Samsung do wrong? I thought maybe I should give Software Update a try, maybe Samsung might have released something to fix all the UI glitches and poor performance the firmware offers. It said, "The latest updates have already been installed".
We are people who know stuff, we can get rid of all these issues by rooting, freezing apps and installing custom kernels. But what about a rookie user? He will cry after purchasing this phone.
I don't even know why I am creating this thread.
When you buy the phone you get stock GB and that doesnt lag as much as Stock JB. The reason it lags is those crap samsung bloatware.

U cant feel like normal user once u know how to root and mod it...thats the fact u feel it lag a lot
Its different if u did not know anything about root or whatsoever, u will like it lag
For example, just around me...specially a girl user, they use it like its running on turbo mode even its not coz they did not feel what is after root and mod phone are...correct?
For u, just use the mod one that suit u best and dont use stock

My phone came with jb when I first got
And I was like
The camera lags alot
The battery drains worse than my old galaxy 5
And sometimes when I pressed the settings I could watch the tv, waiting for the settings to open
But since I already knew about cocore while browsing on xda
But even today i'm not satisfied with my battery experience so I'm trying different version of jb or maybe I should try gb since I never used it
Or in last case buy a l3 ii which has a longer battery life
Actually knowing that stuff doesn't help much, performance is still quite bad.
What bothers me are those who give you false hope that custom stuff can fix it, so you spend a lot of time learning how to install them, but then realize it's all BS.

Heya all,
I currently own a Note 1 for about 2 years now. It's a great device, and I have actually stuck to the stock versions of the device, because I like the samsung perks - tracking, 50gb dropbox, etc. etc.
However, the device has become awfully slow. I take 15 seconds to boot amazon kindle. Music player takes ages to load.
The thing is too damn slow.
So, now I want to just wipe everything off it and install the fastest possible UI on it.
I don't care for bells and whistles. I don't need 500 different menu animations.
I just want it to run fast.
What would you guys recommend dropping on it? Is CM good enough or are there specialized UIs that try to maximize speed?
This really is a best ROM thread. Try things and read the threads, then decide for yourself
However, you're best bet is definitely CM.
There are plenty of guides on how to install.

CM is good, but You may miss the S Pen apps. So if You would like to rather have them, choose RocketROM (ICS)
try an unofficial MIUI version for the note
its really fast and you dont miss the S-Pen functions because it has the touchwiz framework integrated
the music player, the lock screen, the launcher etc. everything is unique and fast
works perfect when you overclock a little
you must try " Sweet ROM 10.5 Black " better performance with stock look.
