Uhh, help with lag, please.

So i'll keep this simple. My captivate is less than two months old and it's become VERY slow. I get lag of at least five seconds every few minutes. Frankly it's starting to piss me off; I know this is a fast phone. I have the J16 froyo ROM. Could it be my ROM? What do you guys recommend as a rom? My iphone 3GS was MUCH faster. (the lag on my captivate ia usually from typing or pressing the touch sensitive buttons at the bottom. Tabs in apps sometimes as well.)
Please help!

It could be a few different things. Easiest would probably be to just flash a rom like Phoenix 3.0 or Perception 10.1

I don't think its a rom issue. Just try to get rid of Widgets, live wallpaper(if u have one), and non-needed apps and see what happens.

If he is using just a leaked froyo rom. it probably has no lag fix. So installing a rom like i mentioned will give him the lagfix.
only widgets I have seen that make a lot of lag are ones that constantly use sensors, like compass widgets, etc.

I've used them all, and these really stand out!!
You can use the kernels that come with them or flash your own kernel and modem.

Thanks all for the replies. The only Widgets I run are the Task killer, and the power saver one to quickly enable wifi when in range, etc. No live wallpaper.

I don't have any hard evidence, but my experience is that having alot of apps slows down the phone. For me, when i have more than 10 or so apps, the phone begins to get bogged down. 15+ it becomes very noticable. 20+ i flash a new rom haha.

It was the rom. Im now running phoenix 3.0 and I now get H! Thanks man!

I tend to disagree on this.
I have like 45+ user apps on my phone. And its still pretty snappy. I am attaching a screen shot taken from "Smartbench 2010".

Swipe vs GB keyboard

Wanted everyone's opinion on this. I never used swipe before, but I seen my brother using it and it looked pretty cool. I know a few people use it, So I wanted some opinion's on what hero users think. Thanks

I'm in the Swype beta, and I've used it in the past, but it can be a pain in the ass to get working after changing roms, so I generally use the LatinIME board. All things considered though, Swype kicks ass once you get used to it.

I'm using it now & it's nice but yeah you do have to get used to it but after you should be good to go. Once you get used to it you'll notice your texting & typing will become a lot quicker

For those of you who use the touch (non swiping) keyboards I'd recommend trying out SwiftKey.
I used swype almost since the beta was first released and never thought I'd switch. But after using the SwiftKey beta for about a week - back when it was still in Beta - it changed my mind.
The predictive text works really well and there's a lot less movement compared to swype.
But out of the two options the OP listed, I'd definitely go for swype. No question

Where can I get a swype apk download ?

Personally I prefer the GB keyboard. I've used both. I can type very quickly with the GB keyboard. Swype and the HTC keyboard are tied for second.

In my opinion, I think Swype is really good but. I think the HTC keyboard is really good, but since I found the ginger bread keyboard I think its awesome. On the other hand, there are some tweaks that I want but ill wait till the next generation keyboard

It just isn't happy when you switch between them.. You have to reinstall a lot if you are a chronic flasher..
I prefer swype totally, swiftkey is awesome however not free, gingerbread is good.. If swiftkey were free I would go with it, but its not so swype is it..

I think swype's the best, that's just my two cents

Yeah I think swype is the best too but if you do try it I would back it up with titanium & make sure it's installed on the phone cuz just like someone said earlier with the chronic flashing we do especially with switching roms it will disappear on you & if it's not on the internal memory it will go bye bye when you reboot or unplug your phone via USB ...learned from experience it was a drag -____-

I don't think its a rom issue, its more the way they have you go about installing it.

I like swype tried swiftkey (i found somewhere) it's cool killing the gb keyboard. But swype is where it's at but it runs out ( mental note to self use apk manager to hack swype to stop running out of time) of time.

You know, I just reinstalled swype, and had no troubles with it. They seem to have changes the way the installer functions. I even had issues installing this on stock unrooted Sense.

if you've never used swype your texting on the GB/original rom keyboard will be A LOT faster
BUT
once you get used to swype and gain some experience with it under your belt you'll see that your texting/typing will be A LOT LOT faster than the keyboard
my first week of using swype i saw a noticable difference in speed for the better....but believe me that first few days i was so frustrated with swyping lol

touch screen wont register fast swipes?

Can anyone test if their Gnote can register fast swipes using touch, simply open up the S-Memo application and put it in landscape mode then quicky swipe from the left to the right side of the screen and vice versa. I noticed this while playing fruit ninja, doesnt really present a real world issue but I just want to confirm if everyone is affected by this, Using the S-Pen does not skip any input though.

Yes i noticed that when i was playing fruit slice it would not complete the fast swipes. But when i did it slowly it worked.
I dont know why.

I have this problem sometimes with the swype keyboard: due to this two words instead of the right one is recignized!
Occurs only when I swype really fast, but especially then its very annoying!

You didn't have your Note plugged into a charger at the time did you? This can sometimes throw the touch input off when you do, especially with third party chargers.

Nope not plugged, it only happens with a touch. S-Pen response does not skip.

Same here.. Next reason to change Gnote to another model... Samsung is really kidding us

I wonder if a dev can make some touch screen tweaks to check this issue out, I dont wanna miss slashing my fruits!!

Same problem here with swype... and I thought it was just me... could it be a limitation to support the Wacom stylus?
Tried KL1, KL3, LA1 stock ROMs.
Edit: BTW I use swype on potrait mode, so the problem is not just limited to landscape mode.

same problem here!, I've tested other keyboards, like slideIT, and there are no problems splitting words like in swype... so I think we could try the swype version installed in the first rom of the note, but.... how could we get it???

Its not only limited to the swype app but any fast motions with the finget dont get picked up, either try fruit ninja or the smemo.

Are you running a custom rom or just stock firmware? It could be an issue with your system lagging or running slow. Many of these custom rom's have issues with lagging even though there intended to speed up the note. Im running romow 7.5 hd right now with abyss note 3.3 overclocked to 1.7 and my fruit ninja funs like butter!

I've tried SMemo and it works fine, fast lines are drawn... Stock rom LA4

same to me
I have the same problem. Playing fruit ninja with GNote is too bad.

Finally found others experiencing same issues.
Any improvements with official ICS update with this?

Ping!

FWIW, I have a feeling that this has only started happening recently to me, over the past 2 or 3 weeks.

Multiple, screen touches

Whenever I touch the screen on my slim ics captivate, there are just random touches around, it took me about 10 mins to write this, random letters. Would get pushed

I am not familiar with the slim ics settings. So there may not be a seeting available. you might try to change the screen sensitivity or a different keyboard.

I've seen this happen on a different ICS ROM on my Captivate. It is intermittent, i.e. goes along just fine and then a period of "stutter" typing and then back to fine. I guess I'll try a different keyboard as the other person suggested. I'm currently using Smart Keyboard Pro. How about you?

I switched to that one yesterday. No problems *yet* but not nearly long enough to be conclusive.

found out it was a third party charger, if you guys have one, thats your problem

Hmmmm..... I haven't experienced it since switching to the stock keyboard. But, it's so intermittent, it's hard to call that conclusive. I think I'll switch back to Smart keyboard and see if the problem comes back.
What sort of third party charger are you using and how did you come to that conclusion?

Have you tried flashing your cap to docs Master ROM? You will not be let down. My only complaint is the call quality.

[Q] Noticible lag when scrolling through the homescreens?

hello, i am coming from the nexus 4.
Finally i got my Htc one and i love it, but im having some lags, while im scrolling through the screens.Its like a little stottering.
Now im asking myself if it is normal, cause i just have three screens in use and just two widgets (original from sense) in use.
It's just not as fluid as i wished it would be. I reseted the phone, and als already wiped everything.
i would really apreciate any help or tip, or if somebody could post his experience.
thanks

Hello thats strange i even have a heavy live wall paper and absolutly no lag.....

0 lag here, on anything that I've done on this phone,

Bit of a pain but you could try a wipe? I have had no lag at all when moving through home screens.

Don't expect it to be lag free out of the box until a few OTA's. HTC one x had more than five ota updates and ever since JB which came after 6 months it's been super fluid.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

No homescreen lag for me, either, and I have plenty of widgets as well as the built-in Weather Live Wallpaper. I've seen the occasional in-app lag, but Sense has been surprisingly fluid.

So your n4 had less lag?
If anything after you flash a custom ROM I'd put money on these little issues being resolved

Yeah, the nexus 4 was less laggy ist not that its always laggy but some times the screens react a lttle to late.
But can it be an hardware issue? Cause everything else just works fine and its hard to get one.
Heres a short vid so you can imagine what i mean.

Had this phone for more than 2 months now and never had any lag

Could anyone post a short vid to compare, cause i really think about returning it to amazon..

This phone has no lag ..... Been using it since April 20th.

Already wiped the device twice, but didn't help, still laggy while swiping through the screens.Sometimes more sometimes less. I dont even use the Batterysafe mode.

I see your phone was searching for network, this may caused your "lag"

There will be some minor lags here and there.. this isn't a light aosp Rom that's 250mb or less. Sense is over a gig in size. Far from light. Be patient and 4.2.2 aosp will come eventually.

its even like this in airplane mode, i really dont know if to wait for the next Ota or to send it back, cause the scrolling through the screens reminds me if the galaxy s3 times.

No lag at all, did you copy all your data directly from your nexus to your one? Could be that something that's either been restored from there or titanium is playing merry havoc with your shiney new phone. Try cleaning up your internal memory and try to avoid restoring anything and see if the problem persists, then restore things one thing at a time til you find the culprit.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

first of all i want to thank you all for your quick answers, im really thankfull for that.
I havent restored anything from my nexus, a i wrote above the device was even wiped twice and i have just installed maybe ten applications from the store. im just worried cause everybody writes that there is absolutly no lag, but i defenetly feel one.
And one more question, is your gallery app also so lagy while scrolling through the pics?
And there where some images. and songs from Htc before i wiped everything, can anybody tell me how to restore them?

t-mobile stock everthing here. (1.27)
i noticed it too.
Especially when scrolling around tapatalk, htc one is noticeably laggier than nexus 4. disappointing.
