It's not the hardware. Even with gigabytes of ram or thousands gigahertz proc, android will always lag n will never be as smooth as iOS. That is the magic of apple. Right from the 1st gen iPhone, the web browser and overall system is smooth, even though hardware is not so advanced.

Furthermore, by using less hardware resources, iPhone and iPad battery life is always much much better compared to android devices.

What android wins is it's customize ability bcos of open source.
It also has a large community of customized ROMs programmers.
This is extremely sexy and appealing to geeks and nerds.

Instead of juz being a communication device, the smartphone is treated as a device to get high benchmark scores, different themes, increase battery life by bits, etc.

While other normal users are simply enjoying the simplicity, smoothness and beauty of iPhone.
Not to mention it's huge library of quality apps that android nerds can only envy jealously.

This is not meant to antagonize android fans but a statement of the plain truth.

I find iOS's library of apps to be greatly exaggerated.
Are there plenty of Exclusive apps? Yes.
Are there some great apps? Of course!
But I find alot of apps to be a complete waste of time.
Piano apps?
Guitar apps?
Fart apps?
Noise maker apps?
"talking animal" apps?
Most note apps aren't even extensive(in their features) many just do what the inbuilt note app does fine.(for free)
Tons and tons of shitty games


I could go on and on about the apps, but there's no point in that..instead, I wanna move on and touch on the "smoothness" aspect of the iOS you mentioned-I experience bad lag and lots of crashes even while toying with ONE app on the iPad 2!

Smooth? Hardly.

Before you say anything, I don't have any android device, but I've 2 iOS devices in my possession.iPad 2 being one of them. So don't bring out the fanboi card..what I've stated above comes straight from user experience.

Typical immature fanboy reply.

Android is not bad, just it cannot be compared to iPhones,
Even samsung knows this and they can only become apple copycat to the extent samsung is hauled into court.

Apple's just being the gigantic snobs they are,hauling Samsung to court-no different from when M$ tried to sue the developers of Lindows for sounding too similar to Windows.

Speaking of lawsuits, Apple themselves have been counter sued by Samsung, been sued by nokia(and finally settled after 2 years,if I'm not mistaken), was also sued for attempting to use the iPhone name(if I'm not mistaken Cisco used that name first and sued Apple when Apple attempted to use it.)

So who's the failure now?

Apple aren't the Gods they want you to believe they are..like it or not, their greatest strength is in their marketing..

Is it because the surround option is enabled?

I'm just guessing here, cos from reviews I've read, the video player has virtual surround capabilities? Some phones extend that capability to the phone's ringtones as well..which makes the ringtone slightly softer than usual..

Just a guess tongue.gif

Surround only works thru headphone jack only.
Nope. Somehow the person whose compiling the kernel in Samsung; login into the PC using Root account.

If rooted, you should have Superuser app in your phone.
