Hi there..
Im very disappointed whit the performance from Eee Pad. Moving between the screens is not fluent, after installing the Prime Rom v1.5 it was better, but thats not the only one issue..
So, first as wrote: Moving betweens the screens, not fluent, then moving in the App Menu, not fluent too.
Seccond problems and which are very important for me, if this Eee Pad is for a normal daily use or not, whit my experience in the last two day, more not than yes.
Biggest performace issue, i think it have something whit the flash, is browsing and the market. The response time in browser is more than bad, sometimes the browser need two/three secconds to execute a command like a simple click on a link button. Writing in a forum its very terrible, the capitals comes to late, sometimes it skip some capitals or free space between the words, the keyboard have lags and its not fast.. Sometimes the page didnt show correct, the only way to get it right, close the browser and open it again.
If i browse in the market at the same time im in internet, the scrolling is so ****ing slow and so ****ing laggy, its really not acceptable.. the scroll speed in the browser self is not much better..
This problem stil exist, it does not matter stock or custom rom..
Im really really disappointed about this, i paid the device 650CHF, its around 500€ maybe more, but my galaxy s 2 works much better and faster, really its not a joke!!
My question at you, did somebody share this experience whit me or im alone whit this opinion??
If some DEV read this Theard, then i would ask it all, is there a fix which we get soon to fix this performance problems? Otherwise, i will sell this device..
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Adnan.
Don't have the issues you describe. I had the zoom before as well as a ipad. Maybe you got a bad one our your expectations are too high for a tablet?
I would have it checked out...nothing but great performance on mine...

Thers some performance problems but not many now, many are problems with honeycomb and tegra aupport since theyre both relatively new. Did you do a clean flash of prime 1.5 and overclock? That seemed to fix a lot of problems for me. Honeycomb 3.2 should fix a lot of problems and hopefully it wil be available to us within the next few weeks.
Weird. I don't have any of those problems, except making a post on this forum takes forever for the letters to show up in the box.

*smile thats the question, is it my pad, or is it me.. but i dont wont to game whit it, everything what i need is 100% working browser and device, whitout lags, everything fluent whit no hangs.. thats it..
take a look on this review, --> title in youtube --> iPad 2 vs Asus EEE Pad Transformer - quick comparison <-- i have the same problems, and maybe bit more.. you see when hi try to scroll, it works after third try, or when hi try to press the full screen button for video play.. so when you the whole day press everything two three times, its very bad.. move betweens the screens its not so bad, bud not fluent..

Have you tried installing system panel, then loading the kill all widget, the white X looks the best and goes with the desktop weather app etc. Just click on it to end processes. I stopped using a task killer on my HTC Desire HD with 2.3 but think Honeycomb still needs one at this moment in time. Opera mobile sorts lag in typing on XDA, also great for pinch and zoom in youtube web page.
I'm thinking of buying a Nexus S and my question is, did ICS finally fix the browser lag? I had the NS back when it came out and remember this issue vividly. I'm coming from a G2x.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I know the Galaxy Nexus has zero lag (i have one)
so maybe its iCS
if not..
buy a Galaxy Nexus
Anybody else got any feedback? I'm itching to get my hands on ICS and want to make sure that HW accel in the browser is enabled in the NS before I buy it.
if you explain how lag is manifested i can test it and send report back to you.
Ive got nexus s updated via OTA to ICS
Back in last December, pages that had images were really hard to scroll through. Maybe they even fixed it with an update already, I just don't know. We had the issue open with Google but since moving to the G2x I unsubscribed from it. The browser would scroll at like 1-2fps. I just want to know if the browser is now smooth with h/w accel in ICS.
Somebody posted a vid:
http://vimeo.com/30050423
Also, the comments here say performance has been improved, even though this is just the alpha that was available before and not the OTA. I think I'm going to get it. I'm tired of all the G2x issues.
well i can tell you i often open msn.com desktop version and i didnt notice any lag, except in ICS when you zoom in (using pinch) it blurs images and text (showing them using lower resolution or something, they look very ugly) and once you stop zooming it shows full resolution text/images.
Scrolling through site goes like butter, smooth.
I just tried it one more time, opened yahoo.com full site and also scrolled through without any glitches!
I hope this is what you want, and that i was any help for you!

Yes sir, that is indeed what I wanted to hear! I'll go see if the guy still has the NS for sale then.
Im glad...
although you should be aware of "android os" battery draing bug, i got it, and i read around there is lots of people complaining about it even owners of galaxy nexus. But i believe they will resolve this problems..
Video streaming app crunchyroll force closes when attemptkng to watch a video. As it is an app available in the Amazon market, I presume this is a CM7 exclusive issue. Can't find any workaround yet tho, any suggestions would b appreciated.
Just wondering if you got this fixed or not.
ugh, was really looking forward to using cm7 on my new(refurb) kindle fire but I might switch back to stock for this... Anyone know of a different build that might have it working or am I out of luck?
Works on CM9
I'm using this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528024
I can confirm the above posters comment.
I am running the very same ROM, and I have gotten the Crunchyroll app to work just fine. Video quality is pretty good, too.
I was happily surprised to notice this app hit the market a few weeks ago. Unfortunately i downloaded it, and of course it doesn't work. The app loaded fine,..looks great...feels great...but when you go to play a show it plays the HBO promo video and the TV-MA thing and then that's it. Just sits there with a spinning circle.
Anyone have a similar experience?
I'm using a TF101 with revolver ics 4.1.1 with guevors kernel.
Luckily with the recently flashed revolver, the HBO GO website actually works really well. With the stock Honeycomb and Megatron CM9 it was choppy and grainy, and constantly freezing and changing bitrates. Now the video plays perfectly with what looks like 720p, or close to it. Still, the app would be nice because navigating the website through the browser is clunky as hell.
I did manage to get the old app working with the workaround, but the quality is actually not as good as the website , and it's annoying as hell to have to switch back and forth between other apps twice every time you load it.
Anyway, jut wondering if anyone has the same issue. I guess I can live with the site since it actually works well now but the app would be more convenient.

I have the exact problem on a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and the Kindle Fire. have you resolved this issue yet?
Nope. Seeing as the website now works perfectly now, I really can't complain...so I guess I will just deal with it. The app doesn't support hdmi output anyway so..
works fine for me. watching true blood now
I'm getting the same thing. It'll show the HBO clip followed by the rating then just exit back to the app. It was working when it was first released but as of lately can't stream anything.

I find my S6 doesn't scroll nearly as well as one would expect. It's pretty good in settings and such. But Chrome, Google Play, News+ and Tapatalk are not fluid at all and skip all over. Chrome is probably the worst culprit and I've seen others have switched to the Samsung browser. Has anyone seen any improvement with a factory reset or any other solution? Anyone else feel it should be better? Apologies if this has already been mentioned, I didn't see anything recent. Thanks!
It scrolls great on mine. No issues that I've seen so far. The only thing that's annoying is when I flick a page up/down it comes to a stop quickly, I wish it had more inertia. But it's really smooth overall.
Notice the lag when battery is getting low using Chrome beta or when I have a lot of apps running. I was using Google music connected to a bluetooth speaker and tried using Chrome beta, music was skipping and kept losing connection with the speaker, after clearing apps everything was good then I seriously think it's a ram issue.

I don't know if this is an option for you, but I think some issues were introduced by installing the OTA out of the box. If you have the time and wherewithal to re-set up your phone I would recommend restoring your firmware using Samsung Smart Switch. I was getting pretty bad performance out of the box in Chrome/S Browser (many issues reduced with AdAway); however, Iwas noticing much better out of box performance after a system firmware restore. Perhaps something to try if you have the time and energy to do so
Edit: I want to make a distinction between factory restore and firmware update. The firmware update will rewrite the system files negating any effect of a janky OTA flash. A factory restore will not wipe and reset the system partition
Scrolling performance is indeed terrible, especially in Chrome. I don't think any number for factory reset will have any impact on this. Rather, it's a driver thing. Try disabling JavaScript in Chrome and you'll see that it scrolls almost impeccably. Breaks a lot of pages though. Adblock helps too cause it gets rid of those pesky ads. Finally, there's a package to download in the appstore called chrome Samsung compatability or some such, that some people feel improves the scrolling.
It's a sad state of affairs when my friends Galaxy S4 scrolls the same page smoother than my S6. Here's hoping it'll all be fixed via firmware soon.
glad it's not just me that's noticed this - agree hopefully they'll sort soon!
I think Android 5.1 outspeeds Android 5.0.
I have a Nexus 5 and this device is one of the first who gets updates of Google. I noticed a difference in speed and performance (micro-stutter, scrolling) between the 5.0.x and 5.1.x update. The 5.1 update is just more fluid and responsive.
I believe when we have the 5.1 update on our Galaxy S6, speed is beyond perfection!
We just have to wait for now
I've found the Firefox browser is much faster than Chrome and perhaps a bit faster than the Samsung one - still dissappointingly slow though, hopefully they'll resolve soon.
Frankly, I'm surprised more people haven't brought this up as a concern. Benchmarks are meaningless when the experience is dragging like this.
Chrome is not optimized for the S6 and it does have a Java scrips fail when ever a ad comes up(wich is always these days) thats why I use the built in browser wich is lightyears faster and smoother (by much!)then chrome browser.
my gs6 doesnt lag, maybe its because i blocked all the ads with adaway

I'm guessing Google won't rush to optimize its apps for the S6 since Samsung is using an in-house processor? Does that make it harder for developers to get at?

I'd like to avoid rooting for once on this one.
I was playing around with Instagram on an S6 today. Scrolling is noticeably stuttery. I noticed way more dropped frames whilst scrolling down my feed on an S6 than I get on my Nexus 5. My N5 scrolls down an insta feed pretty much flawlessly. Scrolling on the S6 seems way faster than on stock android. Is that a Touchwiz thing?
I was also pretty fed up with Chrome on my S6. Now using UC Browser instead...it is absolutely fantastic. Very fast and smooth scrolling, with many features but still lightweight. Suggest you try it!

Nice, have installed it to try out! Chrome basically useless at present, been using Samsung Browser but happy to try this instead. Shame as I liked having sync with Chrome on my phone.

I don't think it's a Touchwiz thing, I just think there are several apps that haven't been optimized for the phone. However I have no idea what it takes or how difficult it is to optimize an app for different hardware. The stock browser versus Chrome is night and day, for instance.

Agreed with the syncing...how does the UC Browser compare to the Samsung browser?

So i've been playing around with the phone a little more and i think it might be a TW thing, because scrolling down the settings menu is just as fast. I guess i can understand why there are so many dropped frames when the scrolling is THAT fast!
