I'm really really close to convincing myself to get a Xoom over an iPad 2, but what I'm really concerned with at the moment is how smooth Honeycomb is on the Xoom. Does it lag or stutter, maybe with a lot of widgets open? Does it slow down significantly with a lot of apps open and so forth?
Basically, how smooth is it compared to the iPad or iPad 2?
I find it very fluid. The only issue is typing lag, which can be very annoying. However, if you like to root and over clock, this is resolved by the new kernels - Tiamat and Launchpad TDR. This thing Xooomssss when over clocked.
I have not compared it to an Ipad 2.
I don think it's as fluid when scrolling from screen to screen as the ipad is. It's just as fast overall in terms of load times and stuff, but the ipad really excels at being very smooth.

IMHO it will only get smoother and smoother, now to the op, if you have an android phone it is pretty similar.
Very smoothh
It's cool. You have to understand that the iPad is smoother because it's just loading icons.
The Xoom loads way more things depending on the user. The scrolling is fast for me and doesn't lag. You will however see faster response from the iPad because it doesn't have anything intensive to load. Hope I explained it right.

True. The Honeycomb UI is probably requires more processing power. Some slight lag or juddering won't really be a dealbreaker for me though.

Good to bear in mind. For me, Android without rooting is like buying a Skyline GT-R and not tuning it. It's good, and it will get you where you want to go, but it's not all it can be.

Thanks. I've had the Nexus One, and now I use a Desire Z. Both are smooth, but sometimes a little lag comes out of nowhere. But it's tolerable, so no dealbreaker.
Of course, my Desire Z is overclocked to 1.4GHz, so it's silky smooth XD

I would say it is as SMOOTH as the iPad. Where it falls down a bit it on responsiveness. As several people have already posted Android is doing a whole lot more on the desktop than iOS is which accounts for a lot.
When you go screen to screen in the default Xoom launcher it moves buttery smooth, but a bit slowly for my tastes. Therefore I installed ADW EX as my launcher and turned up the screen transition time to maximum speed. Now it is smooth AND responsive.
Just got mine yesterday. I'm amazed at how sensitive it truly is. It's just as sensitive as any iPad i've ever fooled with.

Supercharger V6 should do miracles
Thanks for the reply, but idk if supercharger v6 is working for .64,
By the way what is your setting on super chargerv6

I'm using supercharger as well, MegaRAM mode, I don't think I'm using the latest version though. Works wonders.
Is it possible to increase our galaxy R gpu clock from present 300MHz to higher frequency without tegra 2 drivers?
Sent from my GT-I9103 using Tapatalk 2
There is the Cranium kernel that OC's GPU to 400 MHz but it's old and bugged (WiFi freezes phone).
why you want to over clock GPU, all the games work fine with present one....
Actually I just got Temple Run Brave today and it's pretty choppy at times. Same with Asphalt 6 HD - some framedrops.

Temple run and asphalt both run flawlessly for me. Even on stock kernel with on oc.
Games i tested on stock without any single glitch.
Asphalt6, fruit ninja thd and normal, contract killer, ck zombies, shadowgun, blood n glory, gta3 all this games have extream graphics and our sgr handles it without any problem

Temple run Brave got hanged on my galaxy R .I had to restart my phone and when opened temple run Brave again,I had lost my coins and all achievements.In store it was showing 0.
And when I was playing this game yesterday while mobile was charging,cpu temperature had gone upto 55°C.
Is this game bug or cpu problem?
Has anybody experienced similar problems?
Sent from my GT-I9103 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, that's what I'm saying, some games, like the new Temple Run Brave aren't all-time-smooth. On the other hand, the original Temple Run is 100% OK, but still doesn't seem as fast as on slightly higher end devices like SGSII or Prada 3. Does anyone have an explanation to this ?
I overclocked my cpu to 1300MHZ and temperature rose to 55°c and it finally hanged.
It is happening to temple run brave only,on other hand, all other games
works flaw lessly.
I do think ,this is game bug . and in market reviews,even sgs2 and galaxy nexus reported the same type of bug.

Temple run brave works perfectly for me. Overclocking gpu is unnecessary.

I am using indian stock rom 2.3.5 and i think it is full of bugs.

So I have the US version and I've had it for a while (about a month) and I'm really disappointed with the performance. Scroll lags, the notification shade pulls down smoother on a galaxy player (that has less than 500mb of ram and is single core) and the 3d gaming performance is laggy. Like GTA3 should be able to run on max settings! Just disappointed and expected more.

OK? Why post this? Why not just get a new phone? Have you tried any other ROMs?

I played Tactics Ogre on my phone and Dead Trigger with no problems. Plus with most ROMs I don't encounter the same lag you have experience.
Maybe Powersave mode is on...

Sorry, the rest got cut out for some reason. I was asking if anyone else had this problem.
And a new phone is not an option. My family is on forclosure on the house right now so I might just cancel my data plan and use this as like an iPod.

Idk man, I've not had much lag at all. I've been rooted since the day I got it of course, so I've been running custom ROMs for a while.

Try flashing Cyanogen Mod from the original android section. General ui is much snappier and it doesn't have game lag like all the 4.1.2 TW ROMs.
Samsung really dropped the ball with the 4.1.2 updates. A phone this powerful should not lag playing temple run.

I get some lag while playing ingress and minecraft. Kinda annoying but it's better than my old phone and I hope my next is better than this one.

Are you running it stock? Phone runs great with custom stock ROMs & Kernals, but everyone has their own opinions. The games i've played ive not have any lag, but i'm running a custom kernal and ROM. That probably has is the difference, but i'm not overclocked.
well there's only two things that are certain in this world.... no tech device is ever perfect and taxes always increase.
If you expect anything different you will always be disappointed.
That being said, I had ANdroid phones since the HTC Eris and they keep improving. S3 is really nice, maybe the best of this generation, but its not perfect.
Lots of people are looking for infinite gaming speed + infinite battery life... well the two don't go together. There are always trade-off. speed vs. power, vs. size, vs. cost.
Oh and by the way, multi-core is mostly a marketing gimmick. The GPU does most of the graphics work and most apps are not multi-threaded, so a fast single core beats a slower multi-core every time. It's cheaper to make a slow multi-core processor than to make a faster single core.
I also noticed lag on the device which i put off was caused by Touch Wiz. I confirmed this when i finally rooted and started trying different ROMs.
The lag is there in all TW ROM's for me; however if you really want to stick with TW, the smoothest running TW ROM I've tried so far is Goodness. That is what i'm currently using. I don't experience lag during gaming or Apps though even with touch wiz... so might be just your phone.
However, if you can do without touchwiz, the AOSP ROMs are like butter and i experience no lag at all. At least the 4.2.2 ROMS. I've tried Liquidsmooth, paranoid android, Pac-man and Chameleon.
Crazy I'm 100 % stock and my phone runs awesome! I don't do much gaming so I can't chime in on that but I don't have lag at all like you describe. Do you have a live wallpaper installed??

I've tried a lot of the TW based ROM, Synergy, Hyperdrive , others and all the well developed one's run great for me. I don't see any lag. I also tried CM10 and no noticeable difference, I think a lot of the comment are caused by placebo effec, some people just hate OEM stufft. Also people will load up their home screens with 3000 widgets and say wow this phone / rom sucks, LOL m Then they load some new ROM with no widgets yet and go, wow this is really smooth....... until they load 3000 widgets and it sucks again. Hey , there really is a limit to performance on any phone.
Anyone playing madden 25 out there?
New to the tf700 but I flashed Cromi-X and seems pretty fast but madden is painfully lagging at the start of each play. Runs in slow motion. Could be a slow connection but does that even make sense.
Would love to get some feedback from other users.
Yes I am in performance mode.

Yea I have been experiencing the same here and its really Laggy. Nothing u can do, to my knowledge, that works. Some games work really well and others lag like hell... must be an optimization issue

I've been trying a lot of things since I am new to this tablet and wanted to report what's worked well to get this game going.
First CROMi-X with hunds OC kernel helps a lot. The stutter is a lot less but still noticeable.
What works well to get the speed and FPS to a good level is to use the Cromi tools and change the resolution to the TF300 (1280x800). I don't even re-boot just make the change and then load the madden game. When I'm finished I change it back. No need to reboot.
Not elegant but it does make the game playable. Now if they could only dump the on-line BS.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.
