Backup your apps with TITANIUM BACKUP and flash back to stock. Then I would install the sre.

you can follow all the steps to root your phone and reset and blablabla...
or you can wait for the software fix, which nobody knows when to come or nobody can guarantee to work.
or you can wait for 2.2, which is supposed to be faster but you never know.
or you can exchange for another phone and probably have the same problem.

I wouldn't mind playing the waiting game if just a couple of bugs. But what's a smart phone if it doesn't can't handled being used. I figured it was something I did cause the phone didn't always freeze like this. Is this the lag people are talking about?

Do a reset. However don't use Titanium Backup to restore system data. It will funk stuff up a lot of the time.

I had the same issues, first get rid off any task killer app you have. Second download the One Click Lag Fix app. These steps increased my phones speed drastically. You can also use a program called Autostarts to control which apps load at boot. To do the last to tips, I believe your phone had to be rooted.

What he says is good. Also get AutoKiller. Set it to preset Extreme. Enjoy a fast phone.
Oh. Disable the upload settings features.

What did you backup your apps with... Titanium Backup?
Did you install Auto Killer?
Back before this nice app we had to use a script at boot to change the settings this app now does. Y'all got in on Android when it was getting easy to do everything. I had to root by cmd prompt and use a list of commands now we have one click rooters. I am kinda jealous.

You definitely don't need an app killer. Eclair is set up to kill apps when memory is needed. I find things to be buggy when I use an app killer. Use launcher pro. Much smoother than touch whiz. Root with SRE. When all the att crap is gone the phone functions like it should have out of the box even if you disable the OC. Lagfix is optional but doing all these things really makes the phone fly

with Facebook chat And Push notifications! holy sss****!!
I couldn't care less about chat, but it's nice to see the push notifications. Maybe their rating will finally improve now since most of the bad reviews seemed to be because of the lack of chat.
Thanks for the info!
Wow, great news. I was talking today with a friend how companies stopped givin' love to android apps while giving better stuff to iPhone users.
Yup cause iPhone apps cost money but android apps are free

Facebook's iPhone app ain't free?
BTW, does push notifications work on Eclair? I heard somewhere they only work on Froyo. And if they do work on Eclair, how do I activate em? I told a friend to post something on my wall and I didn't received the notification so I guess it ain't working on my phone and I have 2.1.

Wait, so push is not for notifications , like comments and stuff.
whats the use then really?
dammit

Roms, never wait for a rom, do it yourself.. there are 100's of roms out there, play with one
and brick ur phone XD
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
good thing i havent used an eclair ROM for a while already. push notifications work fine for me on the froyo ROM im running.
whats the best froyo rom?
mehh..
almost imposable to brick your phone.. you can for sure mess something up, but there are soo many ways to get into recovery mode to install another rom, install a different rom, or even go back to stock.
not to mention, Google made Android open source for a reason, so that people can mess with what they want.
anyways, i have tried lots of 2.2 roms, and I am glad i have, since Samsung will take too long to update to 2.2 on their own. can't wait for 2.3 and even more battery saving.
Best froyo rom for me its Ddpj6 Doc.03 no bugs at all with themes addons.

This problem plagues tons of android 2.2.x devices...captivate and atrix included. They located the problem and patched it in CM7 for SGS. When we get it ported, the problem will go away.

Does anyone have problems receiving MMS pictures from iPhone users?? I tend to get a long message saying "one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal."
I used to get a similar message on the Atrix. Why the hell does this happen??
Not an Android issue, it's AT&T wanting to give you a "multimedia experience" which annoys the hell out of me. Once the ROMs come out, it'll be gone. It was the same with the HTC Aria, Samsung Captivate, and HTC Inspire 4G... With my last phone, Inspire 4G, any rom applied broke the play-button thing, so photos just showed up like on normal phones.
Why must AT&T try to get their hands all over everything? It's so annoying.
First thing I did when I got my phone was delete the stock samsung mms app and replace it with the stock aosp mms app
I use SUFBS but root explorer does the same....

Well to get directions you need access to the internet so make sure you have wifi on or have mobile data other than edge because that's "wiked" slow...(damn i'm going to college in those island and now i'm saying wiked)

Yeah that's the sad part I upgrades to the July 16 gingerbread bseband and its still slow as balls.

A lot of things rely on then to function. Freezing isn't the same; I freeze Wifi Calling with no issues but when I try to uninstall it I get constant force closes every second until I do a battery pull, and that's on a bit of propriety software! I sincerely doubt letting Messaging or the like exist is hurting you enough to warrant risking potently annoying problems

Those apps are tied to android system dunno why it wont give fc on freeze since its almost the same as uninstalling them. But ya if you did delete those you would get tons of fc on startup and be forced to do a battery pull and reflash rom or backup.

Because you also need to delete the corresponding .so file in the lib folder.

If you are on a stock rom and delete system apps you can never install any future OTA updates. The updates check all system files first and make sure they are unchanged. If you freeze apps you just defrost them before installing an OTA. If you deleted them then no chance of OTA update, period. If you are not on a stock rom then it doesn't matter. You might wind up with a continuous force close issue that requires reflashing the rom.

I got rid of stock browser and tmobile stuff off of my phone and didn't receive FC's.
The downside ro this is if you remove the browser or anything when you do a hard reset it won't be there so you have to rely on a back up and be careful what you unistall.
I learned that the hard way when i first started with android. I unistalled swype since i use SwiftKey but did a hard reset to clear everything out and well i couldn't log in to my google account at the beginning because there was no virtual keyboard to use.
