Anyone having performance issues with their charge? I had high expectations for this phone but im getting lag in just about everything. . IE this forum scrolling through threads is way laggy compared to fascinate. Im not sure if I have a bunk phone or if the hardware sucks or if its the ROM just sucks. Any hope for this phone?
No I'm noticing some laggy browsing as well. Coming from the Droid Incredible i figured this would be much quicker. At times I think 3g on it was faster than wifi on this. Im sure it'll speed up once the cache builds up for the sites i browse. I also notice my linpack and quadrant scores are pants on this. I would love root and a new kernel but that damn ota seems to be holding us back.
My guess is its the charge's browser. I read reviews where it has bad problems with sites with a lot of flash (such as the ads). just tried this site on both the stock browser and dolphin browser and dolphin browser works fine.
It was nearly unreadable on the stock browser. So try a browser from the market.

You're right, browsing on Dolphin seems much faster. It does still hang at the end but it isn't nearly as bad.
Also, while I know its a completely different phone from what I had, the keyboard and auto-correct drive me absolutely mental.
Auto correct can be turned off in menu->settings->keyboard
I just noticed that I have two burnt out pixels .. ack. bright red dots, mostly noticeable on boot screens.
I think it's the ROM. Everything seems sluggish / lags randomly on my charge. So far it really feels like touchwiz is to blame, but I imagine the filesystem is partially to blame.
It really sucks that my year old Incredible seems faster than a brand new "flagship" phone.
I removed alot of bloatware installed launcher pro and Opera mini, then I also removed Touch wiz and the phone is alot faster. Installing launcher pro and then removing/renaming the touch wiz apk made a big difference performance wise. I have no lag when using the interface now. And yes the stock browser is crap, I thought it was the phone as well, but after installing Opera I notice a big difference.
what exactly does the TouchWiz app do? What do you lose by freezing it?

TouchWiz is Samsung's launcher. Do NOT freeze or remove it before downloading an alternative (such as LauncherPro) and rebooting to activate it. Otherwise ODIN will be in your immediate future.

Oh Okay, well, I have to ODIN anyways if I decide to root, I had not read the forums yet before accepting ED2 the day I got the phone. I use LauncherPro anyways, but that's good to know.

yes, that happened to me earlier today! hahaha.
Just picked up the Charge on Saturday..coming from a rooted eris. .did notice a little lag. Immediately installed launcher pro and noticed quite a difference.
One thing i notice is the menu keys do not light up..making it a little difficult to use in the dark. Any one else experience this and find a solution.
Thanks

I believe the keys not lighting up was also the default behavior for the Fascinate, and that was resolved with a custom kernel. This may be inaccurate, as I came from the Droid X, but luckily the key layout is identical so I didn't need any time to relearn.

Its the lite version of ice cream sandwich.
and about whether 9003 will get it or not, only time will tell.
On www.gsmarena.com just 1 day ago samsung has officially decleared that no value pack update will be given to galaxy s. So forget about ICS
It's sad we aren't getting ICS, but the phone runs much nicer than it did under Froyo, so it's not like they're leaving us with a half-baked product.
It's not ICS, it's a GB update but with some adds.

I tried ics on my friends nexus s,trust me you wont like it,miui on froyo probably was better,and Samsung if they release ics on the i9003,it will be rubbish as we will still be stuck with touchwiz.so there is no point getting upset about not getting ics.

ya...! People u dont fascinate about ICS. Its like expecting ur gf to be act or look like sexy angelina jolie
I must admit that ICS is really superb but problem is samsung nexus has that kind of powerful hardware 1.2 ghz with dual core processor, 1gb ram. We even dont have half of it. Already our 2.3.6 firmwares run with little lag then from this u can imagine how device will perform with ICS (Super duper laggy).
Instead of this we must concentrate on cm7 & miui. Really these two roms are superbly awsome. It will really fulfill all our requirements.

I agree....but firstly its not about the MHZ,GHZ,THZor what,, even port for 600+mhz can run ICS(I think we can run SE x1 on ICS..doing it)... The Question is WHY I NEED ICS???whats the diff? whats new? cant it save me on bills? can it make my phone undistructable? can i play PS3 games on it???? a dozen of question marrks more to add...
Ics will give us loads Of new features . We could first concentrate on miui then ics through miui like in other phones. we need ics

Its not the question of power,when the T-Mobile g1(first android phone) and HTC HD2(a Wm phone from 09) can have smooth ics anything is possible with proper devs. I think the best way to approach ics is best to get it via miui or cyanogen mod

Yes that is what I am saying. Miui is going to be stable soon and then we should request some devs to port pics through miui

Once apps started requiring 4.0 compatibility, we will NEED ICS. In the upgrade to Honeycomb we didn't feel it that much since it is specifically for tablets. If apps begin to require Fragments (not present in 2.3 and below) and other 3.x and 4.x stuff we will be stuck. Its not just all visual eyecandy folks.

And when will that start happening? Apps are still supporting Froyo. By the time this is a necessity for most apps, you'll have a new phone.

Well for most of us, I think its not as easy as it sounds to have a new phone ICS runs on my ZTE blade pretty smoothly without most animations, maybe its just a matter of time before we get ICS.

It'll be years away, and chances are you'll start having problems with the hardware, dropped it, ran out of warranty, new contract etc before lack of ICS becomes a major issue.
Why am i making excuses for Samsung? Beats me.
What we NEED is a completely bug free 2.3.7 GB and Samsung source lib files..
If we manage to get 'em , we'll ROCK...

you took words from my mouth Still we have some issues like sync issue, lag issue, vdo calling etc. I will not blame people that they are getting attracted to ICS becoz definitely ICS is very attractive. But even if we dont get ICS it will not make much difference. Instead of that I will prefer small ICS value pack update as per capability of mobile. Phone's actual performance can be identified only then & then when u install lots apps & do some multitasking with 3 to 4 apps open. Because whenever u install fresh rom then it has no background loading apps. So thats why it runs smoothly.
Regarding compatibility of app, if u observe carefully then 90% major apps are compatable to 2.1+ onwards versions of android and in future also same thing will continue by app developers.
Hello everyone,

Would like to know the answer to this too; is it because of our phones, or is it because its still a beta rom?
I know it s a port but, nobody seems to have that kind of problem. Could it be a harware problem of my phone?

Really doubt it. Some people may perceive 'lag' differently, a small minority might just outright lie about not experiencing any.
i've noticed that i depends on how many widgets you have
for expample now i have 6 widgets on my homescreen (5 from htc) and it's not laggy
if i add just another widget it becomes crappy
increase the screen off max frequency, that should help
I get this with the ordroid Rom, I've got to reboot to get rid of it then its fine for a few hours

I think i unconsciously ignored the lag. But i moved on to MIUI rom htc base with APEX launcher. TALK ABOUT STABILITY. Havent restarted for decades. Everything is always smooth. thats why i like MIUI. Also home button torch light on lockscreen is second to none.
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.
I only have the t3 hox so I can't recommend any for at&t

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.

Busybox
Hi
Just updated via OTA, reinstalled CWM_Recovery and installed superSU 0.99.
Phone is rooted once again but it seems like busybox is unable to install, tried a few different versions and none seem to stick, a few even causes a crash/reboot of the phone.
Have a few programs that are reliant on Busybox to function.
Am i the only one with this problem ?

I'm really annoyed about the new keyboard layout which was an utterly unnecessary change. Not to mention that the keyboard is somewhat laggy. Apart from that it's fine and I could live with it if I would get back full root functionality.
By the way, has anyone solved their root issues (SuperSU, Busybox, and a couple other apps and tools not working) yet?

Nope I'm also having the same issues. After reading over the superSU thread it seems like HTC have done something to prevent system changes so it's basically a case of waiting until some devs find a work around
Is there an app to reorder the notifications in the notificationbar? I have 2 apps as trigger and new notifications are in the middle of these apps. I want new notifications at bottom.
Haven't got the update yet, but I'd like to know if they solved the touchbutton issue? And does USB OTG work now without extra cables? The only 2 things I'm missing.
Touch button issue is better so far but cannot say for sure that it is fixed, since now we have the Google now issue but not as frequently as before.
The new issue for me after the update is that the hands-free control is not customisable through apps after update, only single click function works for me, no track skipping or volume control

The worst update I've made on any phone....ever!
I need to downgrade ASAP, however, because I'm a relative noob and I'm unrooted I need some assistance. Any advice will be appreciated.
Just installed and had 10 minutes with it. To me my phone definitely seems a little quicker and more responsive, might just be me being excited about new stuff though! I use Swiftkey so never touch the Sense keyboard, I just gave the new one a quick go and switched back to Swiftkey, I can type on it almost as quick as a real keyboard so it would take something amazing to shift me from it. I like what I see of Google Now so far, we'll see how it pans out though. The camera changes seem good, fairly subtle differences but I think it's quicker too. I like the power saver mode, think that will be a useful one. Switching off data when the screen is off is a great feature.
So far, so good.

I am pretty fond of the new No-Lockscreen option. Something I have missed from the AOSP versions, probably the only reason I will stick with sense on JB.
