The only real problem I have with the sensation, is it's speed. It's taking forever to get here. Sense 3.0 lagged my delivery time. Dual core my ass!
Anybody else having this problem? Figured I'd ask as all others seem to be having a problem in some way or another with the Sensation.

+1 Agreed.
Mine is flying. I think you're confuse about speed and smoothness. If you think you don't, exchange.
Honestly the Sensation doesn't seem any smoother with Sense 3.0 than my G2 running Virtuous Unity 1.24 @ 1.2ghz. But I bought it for the 4.3" screen and thin form factor.
Oh dear. I think you misread the original post.

Just wondering, do you consider this guy's Sensation fast and smooth?
Ok, want some quicktips to get a sensation out of your smartphone ?
-root it
-get some good system apps
-remove all unnecessary apps/systemapps
-secure it
-optimize it
-replace sense with zeam launcher/ something else.
-Overlock it if possible
-clean the autostarts
and voila, you got your sensation.

I got a Sidekick 4G ( Sensation ) lolol .
about to get a OC'ed Lagfix kernal hehe . w/ a nice ROM w/ TouchWiz 4.0
I have used 4 brand new Sensations with nothing loaded on them and all of them have performed differently. I'm trying to make sense (pun intended) of it. The first one I got was fast and smooth, the second one was laggy as hell, the third was a little laggy and the forth one was fast and smooth. Does anyone know why the same device would act differently when it comes to performance?
Here is a little video I made. Let me know if yours is this fast.

Mine was in the beginning now its starting to lag pretty bad, especially since I have the g2x to compare it against. Have had the carousel effect in a few days now. My try a factory reset but I dread the thought of having to reinstall a billion apps

That looks just like mine. I consider it fast and smooth. But then I'm coming from a Vibrant, a picture of which is in the dictionary under "laggy".
I tried a demo unit at a TMO store and it was not as smooth. A bit jerky or stuttery when flipping between home screens. I disabled animation, but it made no diff. So, it does seem there's an odd variation between phones.

Yea, I wouldn't keep the auto install option on. For some reason I think it makes the phone slower. What is the carousel effect? I know what the carousel is but what is it doing? Engaging every time you go to scroll side to side? Both mine and my wife's Sensations are pretty damn fast. Not quite as fast as the G2X since it's running vanilla but I have no doubt in my mind that the Sensation will be just as fast once we get the bloatware and Sense off of it. I have not restarted my phone for 3 days now and have never gone that long with any other Android device. Usually when day two rolls around, my devices start to bog out but not my Sensation. Might be the added RAM or something. Once we get everything off of it though. We are going to have over 400mb of free memory sitting on the phone.

The carousel effect is when you get the homescreens to whirl around by swiping the screens fast. What do you mean by auto install option on?

If you go into privacy settings there is a option called "Back up my Settings" and "Automatic Restore". If you enable both of them, all of your settings and apps will be backed up on Googles servers so when ever you get a new phone or reset your phone, all of your apps will be installed automatically and all of your phone settings will stay the way you had them. I have done this about 6 times with the same phones and every time I do it, the phone performs slower for some reason. I know it sounds weird but it does. Try it out though. See what happens.

You didn't get a response because I don't speak gibberish. How about translating that into English next time and perhaps you might gets some feedback
I guess you were talking about how long it took to get in the Sensation forums through the XDA app. Were you being vague on purpose? You made it seem like a general statement. Next time, try to specify what exactly is lagging.
The dual core processor had nothing to do with getting here. The second core will not kick in unless it needs to and lets be honest, the XDA app doesn't need two cores to run it. There have been plenty of times I have seen the dual core CPU do its thing. I blew through, what my Nexus S and Nexus 1 would have lagged through.
Lastly, to respond with an answer for your post. Sometimes these forums get a ton if traffic in a short period ff of time which causes them to lag. There are also plenty of people working on these forums all day long to keep them running so people like me and you can agrue over dumb **** the other person probably knows both about.

LOL...he was talking about how long it took for him to actually get the phone.
my phone keeps rebooting after I try to exit out of Asphalt 6 HD.
not sure why it's doing this...
I purchased this game along with Modern Combat 2 and MC2 doesn't force my phone to reboot upon exit.
sometimes I get the black screen upon exit of A6HD and have to pull the battery.
has anyone had this issue? if not maybe I need to redownload the game or something...
everything else on the game works fine. just the reboot on exit. kinda getting annoying after a few times...
thanks.
Sense reboots. That about it though on my asphalt 6.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Works smoothly, no problem when exit.
Send from my awesome HTC Sensation + XDA Premium app.
I don't know how true it is, but I've heard that "Sense" actually kills off when playing something or using an app that uses a lot of resources. It makes sense (no pun intended) that it would pull the memory for a game with such heavy graphics. Another reason to believe that android has some of the best memory management around.
It's sense that reboots, not the whole phone. I think its because the game uses a lot of resources. And the thing I like is everytime after I play this game (the only game I've been playing for da last week since I'm addicted lol) I get about 250 free ram, which is nice.
Bt @ op, Idk about the whole screen going black and u having to pull the batt, sum is def wrong there, never happened to me
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Yep, its Sense rebooting. HQ games do it nearly everytime, opening multiple browser windows in Firefox (or probably even stock if flash is running in any of them), or just having several tasks running at the same time can do this. Annoying, to say the least.
cool, thanks for the info guys.
I'm ok with sense rebooting upon exit. still annoying but you guys are right, it's the sense, not the whole phone.
the black screen issue only happened once and I think the phone was in the middle of working the sense reboot out(just taking longer).
perhaps if I waited a little bit it would have worked itself out... keeping my eye on it though.
still kind of puzzling that MC2 doesn't do this and it's in HD as well.
A6HD must push the phone pretty hard. it's a battery drainer and it gets the phone pretty hot after awhile.
anyway, thanks again.
p.s. one guy that is not having the sense reboot problem... I hate you mang!
I agree. A6HD can milk a battery with the quickness. Love the game, hate the drain.
Sense crashes on me constantly. I tried the fix suggested where you go unclick the activities setting in the development area, to no avail. Can any Cleanrom users tell me if this is problem for you (AT&T) after you rooted and installed CR on your phone?
What do you mean by crashing? Is it force closing or just reloading (get the loading circle)
If its reloading its because of HTC setting aggressive memory management.

I could have worded that better - I mean to say that HTC sense, on my vanilla AT&T rom, goes down a lot, and when you press the home button, it says "loading" for upwards of 20 seconds.
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599214, however while this seems to fix it for some folks, it does not fix it for others. It's still happening to me, sadly.
I am considering returning this for a SGIII, but I got to wondering if I root it and install CleanRom, maybe that fixes the issue to, in addition to removing the AT&T bloat.

That would be the aggressive management that HTC put into the phone same reason that the browser reloads the page after you close it.
If you find a ROM that locks sense into the memory then it should solve that.

bumping, in case some Cleanrom users can reply. I got really frustrated yesterday - set up my screens and launcher and folders all nice, just the way I like them, nad Sense reloaded - all of a sudden, the screens I had removed were back, my icons were all over the place, and my folders were not on the home screen. Super frustrating!
Hold on, it actually goes back to default layout after reloading as well?

Almost - I had five screens again, my folders were all bumped to the last screen (so I had to move them back to the home screen before I could delete the extra screens), and a bunch of icons appeared out of nowhere, all over the place. So, it didn't go back to default but it did jack everything up.
It may be something that never comes up because most people do not remove all the extra screens.

I doubt you're going to get many replies from CleanROM users over here, since you've posted this in the international (Tegra 3) subforums and CleanROM is for S4 devices so no-one here will be using it. You'd probably get a better response asking here (or you could maybe ask a mod to shift the thread for you).

WHOOPS! Thank you for pointing it out to me!
Well hello Welcome to the correct forums xD
CleanROM has many multitasking improvements, from what I've read, so it should help quite a bit.
And if you still don't like the multitasking, AOSP based ROMs such as CM9 or AOKP have perfect multitasking (I've been able to get up to 7 apps running with AOKP)
CleanROM 4.1
Using the latest version of CleanROM on the AT&T One X, I have none of the issues that you speak of. Multitasking is night-and-day (granted that you flashed the multitasking mod in the AROMA installer), battery life is stellar, and everything is rock-solid stable.
I've never seen sense reload on me but I don't play games much. Are you a big gamer? I've been using clean rom since it was introduced.
I haven't had Sense reload on me once since flashing CleanROM a month and a half ago. I play a ton of RAM heavy games too like NOVA 3 and as I said, not once has it happened.
I mostly use the web on mine, Google Music, and a couple minor games like Words By Post and Temple Run. Thank you all for the replies, this makes me feel a bit more hopeful. I'm a bit anti-Samsung at the moment, so I am glad to hear that maybe flashing a ROM will fix my problems. I was pretty close to just returning it.

I went from the HTC One to this, and I am a little disappointed here. The HTC One was beautiful, great, etc, but I went with this phone for a a more future proof reason. The thing I am confused about is how is this phone lagging? The One did not lag, and I am not by any means trying to start up a debate between the two, but why does this phone lag? Anybody experiencing odd lag? (opening closing apps have a hiccup, widgets, scrolling)
The screen seems to have a good amount of ghosting, but I assume that is because this is a PenTile super saturated screen, so it won't be as smooth movement as an LCD screen. (I freakin' love this screen, by the way)
Also, Samsung, I know if I raise the volume it could possible damage my ears, quit popping a message up every time I do this.
Also...
For the stock browser and Chrome, the screen slightly dims itself upon opening, doesn't do it with Firefox though.
Small things, small gripes. These small grips bothering anyone else?
It seems odd, this is my first Samsung device, but it seems like it's not a consistent experience. It just launched, I know, but I did not think one of the big brands would have these issues.

Yup, bloatware. My Galaxy S3 running CM 10.1 was FAST. Patiently waiting.
well htc one is in android 2.1 now it may have the same problem when you upgrade to 4.2 I guess .
To solve the lag, you may turn on Force Gpu option in developer setting, but it causes battery.

That did nothing, but I changed the animations to 0.5x and they go so quick, I don't notice it anymore. I sincerely hope that Samsung/AT&T push out something to fix this, I don't feel like a phone with an overclocked Snapdragon 600 should be going through this.
Set animations to zero and the phone will be even quicker. You won't miss a thing. Good luck.
The lag is very bad. It really makes me wanna throw this device against the wall. Coming from an S3 and Note 2 this feels like a huge downgrade, seriously.
I do know though that now that the boot loader has been unlocked, developers can start making custom roms. That and I know there will be many updates. The lag will not last forever.

That doesn't do anything. The browser, messaging app, and gallery all lag within. Samsung needs to properly optimize their software for the Snapdragon 600.
If your using Nova launcher, go to Nova Settings - Look and Feel - App Animations. Change it to ICS or slide. This has removed any stutter for me with the opening and closing app transitions.

You guys aren't addressing his main problem. He's upset about lag within the apps themselves.

Also, the screen darkening happens if you have certain battery saving things turned on. Is your energy saver on?

I've completely disabled any energy saving, even auto adjust screen tone. This happens only with Chrome and stock browsers. It's a light dimming from brightness being full, seemed odd.

Yes, you're right. They have an odd stutter. The sad thing is, we shouldn't have to do anything to stop this from happening. lol
Also, the stutters happen even when opening/closing/navigating the settings, and I saw it stutter a few times closing the app drawer, that one surprised me.
How do you guys feel about the ghosting/tracers on text or objects when moving quickly?
Oh wow, Force GPU actually did it for me. Thanks! Lol

A couple of quick suggestions:
-Hard Reset when you get the phone. A few people have commented that after a re-flash the phone runs smoother
-disable animations and the screen unlock ripples/light BS. The ripple caused issues with the GS3, so this is just an assumption on my part.
-Force GPU helps
-Freeze and apps especially bloat you don't use.
-Since this seems to be a common issue for everyone, I would hope that Samsung/Att will have a small update in the coming months. I will not hold my breathe though.

This actually does help a lot to reduce the lag.. Did this a few days ago and it has def helped!
I felt the same way about my S3 for a long time until I finally flashed tasks AOKP with ktoonz kernel.
For reference, I think the size of the stock rom on the s4 is somewhere around two gigs as opposed to tasks AOKP which was around 500 or 600 MB's.
I haven't even activated my S4 yet because of the frustration I know I would endure when switching between apps, or texting, or pretty much doing anything.
My S3 is RIDICULOUSLY fast now so I have the utmost confidence that once the Verizon phone is out and the ROMs start rolling in, all the lag will be gone once you get away from TouchWiz.
[edit] Task I see you lurking around the S4 boards. I don't know what it all means, but I LIKE it!!!

This poster on a Rogers S4 claims he received a factory update that help the performance of his phone...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40960338&postcount=72
Maybe AT&T will push a similar update to help with performance issues.
I've researched the forums, both AT&T one here and the international forums but can't find anyone else saying anything about this, also this is my first LG phone besides having the G-Flex for about a day and a half so I don't know if this is normal, but the redraw on this phone is almost unbearable. I'm loving pretty much everything about my G3, I love how customizable it is and the battery life is great so far, but the UI lags horribly, the most noticeable place is going back to the home screen. Almost every single time every widget has to reload and causes like 5-10 seconds of lag. I am rooted with carrier iq disabled and running xposed with only G3 tweaksbox. Is there any way around this or any way to fix it without switching to a 3rd party launcher and losing all my stock widgets?
I don't use the stock launcher and I don't have this issue. And when I was using the stock launcher I don't recall this being an issue either.
It seems like a majority of the phones issues can be solved by a factory reset, perhaps try that

Yeah I just tried that, but no luck, it doesn't seem anyone else is having very much trouble with lag and things like that, I think I'm going to try to do the flash back to stock guide in the development section and see if that does the trick. Thanks for the advice though!
Perhaps it's one thing I particular, try disabling widgets one at a time? I dunno

I used the stock launcher for as long as it took nova to download so I don't know about redraws. It does suck losing some widgets with a 3rd party launcher but it's all worth it.

I used to use nova, but I'm head over heels with GNL, it's simple and perfect

I've researched the forums, both AT&T one here and the international forums but can't find anyone else saying anything about this, also this is my first LG phone besides having the G-Flex for about a day and a half so I don't know if this is normal, but the redraw on this phone is almost unbearable. I'm loving pretty much everything about my G3, I love how customizable it is and the battery life is great so far, but the UI lags horribly, the most noticeable place is going back to the home screen. Almost every single time every widget has to reload and causes like 5-10 seconds of lag. I am rooted with carrier iq disabled and running xposed with only G3 tweaksbox. Is there any way around this or any way to fix it without switching to a 3rd party launcher and losing all my stock widgets?

I keep seeing people complain about system lag and I have yet to experience any lag at all. I'm rooted and xposed and greenified almost every app I have that I use often and my phone is stupid fast.

I agree.
Another thing you can try, if you can live without xposed, is enable ART, that should speed things up as well
If u are experiencing a lot of redraws then I would advise using an app or tweak to lock the launcher process in memory.
Have you removed any of the bloat apps? Those really slow things down. That's not normal at all I just tested mine and it's on part with nova when you change it to stock speed.
No lag here.

I've had this phone since 7/18 and have had zero lag issues. I'm rooted and running ART and my phone is super fast. The stock launcher is fast but I prefer Nova.
