This phone might because of OS problem so it cannot be as powerful as you think. Only way to keep it smooth is reduce the program running like widgets those. And I found that after the RAM over 180MB, the phone will begin to stutter when scrolling around in home screen.

You're right.
Reduce widgets and running apps number are only way to help.

Edited: Still teh same easily to reach 180MB sweat.gif Clear out time or monitoring widgets reduce few secs of stutter when just unlock the screen. Need more experiment.

Did some experiment on the stutter problem, it is always cause by real time apps like time widgets, task monitor widgets and so on.

So now i kept only shortcuts and non real time running widgets on my home screen, so far i did not encounter lags or stutter when just unlocked the screen.

U mean the few secs lag after unlocking? Im not sure but I notice it varies according to times. Certain time of the month it becomes smooth, certain time it becomes bad laugh.gif im not sure either. But for sure it's better in launcherpro than ICS launcher


Added on December 11, 2011, 4:24 pmWill try and remove those widgets u mentioned, see it works or not

Yea few secs lag after unlocking...
So far my test I seldom got that lag now. biggrin.gif

But dunno why nowadays my phone no lag(still got lar but very very little) after unlock tongue.gif
Running launcherpro + 3D digital clock widget + circle launcher + launcherpro friends widget + launcherpro calender widget, running with 5 homescreens
Last time i think i use all these got lag after unlock, so maybe it depends on the time as well? hmm.gif I got no idea lol

Maybe your phone will get used to it laugh.gif

Typical smartphone battery life, with nowadays technology cannot hope for much now sad.gif
What can do turn off the device(wifi, gps, etc) when not needed, reduce screen brightness and don't use monitoring widgets(RAM, tasks, battery, etc).

plus use black colour in theme...

Sadly that works on AMOLED, not LCD sad.gif

The amount of power the display consumes varies significantly depending on the color and brightness shown. As an example, one commercial QVGA OLED display consumes 3 watts while showing black text on a white background, but only 0.7 watts showing white text on a black background.[10] Because the black pixels actually turn off, AMOLED also has contrast ratios that are significantly better than LCD.

For typing you can try out GO Keyboard or TouchPal that has settings for vibration during typing.

My whacky SGA. Before, the normal practice was to charge the phone at least 2 times every day, sometimes 3, because I use 3G every hour, chat, or surfing, and calls and sms, mms...etc... My 3G is always on, even at home because it fails to connect to my modem until I restart my modem for a new refresh IP.

But I suddenly notice, for the pass few days, I don't need to recharge my battery so often. Like today, last charge was last night before sleep, from morning until now use like normal but still no need to recharge. Battery still 48%. Christmas miracle?

Possible you look at your phone lesser than before during christmas tongue.gif
