I have been using Galaxy SL since last 10 months and one thing that has bugged me since I bought it is bad graphics performance (both on GB & Froyo). Now, I am not complaining about the low powered GPU but simply it's bad performance.
I just wanted to confirm if anybody else here suffers from the same and whether it's a software bug or a hardware problem.
Here are a few comparison pics (compared to my Xperia Neo V):

Sprinkle:
Note the appearance of water
Paper Camera:
It doesn't work the first time you start it, but after restarting the app it works although it breaks h/w acceleration for rest of the apps such as camera, video playback etc.
I also own a ZTE Blade and a Acer Icona A500, and both of them perform the same as Xperia. Can anybody else confirm similar issues on Galaxy SL? Or should I go for a replacement?
I just downloaded sprinkle from the market and im not having your problem. The water is the same as the Xperia one. Maybe you should ask for a replacement from Samsung? Faulty GPU maybe? You never know

Thanks for checking it out, can you try it maybe after playing a video or doing some gaming. As, mine also works fine after restarting the phone but after doing some work like gaming, watching videos it breaks as in the screen shot. Can you also try Paper Camera? I'll appreciate your help.
I am still covered by warranty so I may go for a replacement.
PS: I have never OC'd my phone and also tried the graphics solution mentioned in the forum (editing the egl.cfg and deleting libGLES_android.so) but no solution so far.
I tried Sprinkle too and the water is weird (to avoid misunderstandings:http://i.imgur.com/C3U1ml.jpg).
I'm using CM7, I don't know if the performance are the same as stock roms.
Anyway the Xperia neo V has an Adreno 205, which is better than our PowerVR SGX530, if I'm not wrong.

Thanks for confirming my doubt, I guessed this could be a widespread problem. Moreover, it doesn't concern the GPU power, as a ZTE Blade with Adreno 200 runs it better and I think it's equivalent if not better to our PowerVR 530.
So, what could be causing it? Bad drivers? Does all PowerVR 530 devices face the same issue?
oh?!
mhh.. very interesting :?
The GPU isn't the best, but from missing textures in one of the benchmark apps, i'd say it's incomplete drivers.
Just for Root rom
Use root explorer .. just remove system/lib/egl/remove libGLES_android.so
Will solve graphics

I have already mentioned in my second post, that I am using this method. AFAIK, it just gives a little boost in benchmark scores nothing else.
I was wondering if Optimus Black users also have this problem...

It's a functioning Android phone that has exactly the same dimensions as the iPhone 4. Next to that they cloned almost the entire interface.

amazing launcher, really beautiful
I want one of this.
I want one of this.. Where it is available?
This phone makes my LG GW620 running CM7 look like crap, if this is less than $150, I might consider it.
Edit: It even has a capacitive screen with multitouch, my phone does not.
Edit: Found the link to preorder it :I have too less posts to post the link -_-
The battery life doesn't seem good...

Quick Overview
Android 2.2 OS, iPhone iOS style UI

Further modified version of the MIUI Launcher, perhaps, running on a MIUI ROM maybe.
This is amazing. I would seriously look at it if I just hadn't bought an Optimus Black.
However, I will keep an eye in this because it looks veeeery good thing.
It looks like its on pre-order for around $160.00 - GooApple

Awesome. The main thing that worries me is the battery life. China mobiles usually have very poor batteries.
what a lawsuit this would be!
I'd be interested in trying this launcher out
Why in Jesus Christ would you want that? It looks sooooo...iphonenish.
How are they already not in big trouble for this?

I don't think I want the actual Gooapple phone, I just want to download the ROM...it would be fun to install this on my Nexus or Galaxy to play around.
I really hope its a custom MIUI ROM that will be uploaded to this forum soon!

Cool phone! I am using Galaxy tab to Android but my phone HTC diamond crashed before few months and my primary phone now is crappy Nokia 3100 I am seriously thinking about this, I love iOS view and I love Android options! I am in love with that phone!!!!
Processor: Qualcom MSM7227
Display reulotion: WVGA screen, 320*480 ==> how come WVGA similar to 320*480?
Battery: Built-in Li-on battery, 1350mAh
Built-in Memory: 512MB ROM / 256MB RAM
about the processor, it's the same with my galaxy ACE, but mine runs at 800 MHz (default). if u checked at pdadb.net, those series will have default clock at 600 MHz, i doubt if it can run on 1 Ghz
the rest of specs are the same with galaxy ace
259.99 USD? it is 170 USD marked in the site!(999RMB)
I skimmed through the video, it seems fake.
where in that video does it show it's an android phone?

Is that a USB key in your pocket or a dual-core computer? Today, Norwegian company FXI technologies showed off a USB stick-sized portable computer prototype, complete with a dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU (same as in the Galaxy S II), 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out and a microSD card slot for memory. Codenamed Cotton Candy because its 21 gram weight is the same as a bag of the confection, the tiny PC enables what its inventor calls “Any Screen Computing,” the ability to turn any TV, laptop, phone, tablet, or set-top box into a dumb terminal for its Android operating system.

The Cotton Candy also runs arm compatible versions of Linux, and is said to be compatible with Windows 8 ARM.
Thoughts? I think this would be great for low end computer replacement, or a small gaming system for emulators along side a bluetooth controller and a 32gb memory card. Even a small media center hub for your TV, download Netflix, Hulu, video apps, or whatever streaming and media apps you want and boom, HTPC right there.
Wow Seems brilliant haha

Apparently it's a portable Exynos soc, so it won't be that hard to port ICS to that little bad boy when Samsung pushes the update for the GS2.
I'm thinking win8 with arm support to be a real PC
Max. (From my Galaxy 2)
And who says there is no need for a quad core mobile cpu. Although the chip they are using is nice, and tegra 3 or quad core Samsung soc would be awesome on this device.

GREAT SHARE! Thanks!
Whoa... Samsung is letting other companies use the Exynos SoC?
That's awesome... Samsung must really consider their Exynos SoC to be top of the line... and it is!
Oh, that is very cool.

Did you try hitting the clear memory button? Or does your memory only say 840?

Try limiting your background processes to 3 in the Developer section and run LauncherPro launcher.

quit looking at your ram and worrying about it so often (clearing it obsessively does more harm than good) -- unless youre sure something is wonggggg

If that is the case, you have been ripped off! is there no way you can change it, should be Quad core with 2G's of Ram?

Um don't buy expensive tech from some guy on eBay. Anyway, if you really own it (I doubt you do) you will be covered under Samsungs warranty. Just contact them.

Micro stutters in games (even though no one reported them before i think) should be because of the game not being optimized for the S4 yet, the hardware is more than capable of dealing with them.

Try real racing 3. The best looking racing game which almost looks like a 360 or PS3 racing game, plays really well on i9500. If that stutters too then you have a lemon.

I did changed dpi in previous rom but I thought on this one i'm back to normal. How to fix it?
stock rom me1
I didn't change my dpi. But the game is not compatible

thats weird that you cant DL it... installed fine for me and its a great game. no problems with it at all. (i9500) non rooted..on stock ROM.

Maybe it's not available in your region. It's a free game try googling for the app and you may find it an alternate way
Thats absolutely wrong..
In my Gt-I9500 every game absolutely works fine without a single lag. NfS MW , MC 4 , Real boxing all of them work absolutely fine and even in underclocked mode between 250-400 Mhz ,the games work smoothly. I always keep the A15 cores switched off as they consume a lot of battery and only switch on only when needed.
I am on ME1 firmware and stock kernel with root.

Thanks bro, must say I'm very satisfied with my S22 Ultra. But we still need Samsung to do some tweeking, specially with the graphics driver. My phone doesn't even get hot during the test, so my phone can with no doubt manage a higher CPU and GPU clock freq. Hope it will happen, otherwise rooting and own build kernel.

Yeah I'm quite happy with mine too and I 100% agree with you that the new Soc and gpu needs updated drivers and optimisation ..also thirdparty apps also need to update their apps for the brand new gpu from AMD than we will have a perfect device ....or maybe that's never gonna happen..
