tumpang -kytz-'s question ah...
If without using task killer, how much RAM usage is the 'limit' before you feel some lag

read the first page to know more info on the internal memory issue, i wont repeat here a thousand times like what others have said. with regards to lagging on this phone compared to iphone 4 - let me ask you this question - how much is iphone 4 and how much is galaxy W? If you want to compare better compare galaxy S II with iphone 4 then only fair. Price wise is similar if not cheaper for the galaxy S II with better overall specs. please compare galaxy W with something more reasonable otherwise it defies logic.

yes i know that the internal memory is being partitioned and we only have 1gb for apps. I was just surprised that the 1gb isn't enough cuz high end phones like the sensation only have 1gb storage while xperia arc only have 320mb wink.gif bout the lagginess, i know that the iphone is twice the price but the processor both also single core wat n it's not that the chipset is being overclocked from a 600mhz processor, but from 1ghz. The 1 ghz/1.4ghz is being used by xperia arc/arc S/S plus/incredible S/desire S.... So why is this not comparable to iphone 4?

danielcmugen: upgrade to gingerbread solved the issue ace face every time auto shutdown! go for 2.3.7 * it would be better.
*
But so far my galaxy ace using 2.3.4 never auto shutdown b4. The prob im facing now is the pointer keep moving, like when u tap here...it detect it already then suddenly jump to another place...very frustrating
I dare not flash to 2.3.7 btw

erm i guess so.. only way is to install it into external sd card. trust me if ur a heavy gamer, get a 16GB sd card. modern combat 3 will come out soon, u can guess how much MB will tat be

but according to below, we can't install it to external sd?

QUOTE(CyberKewl @ Nov 24 2011, 03:28 PM)
i'll give a quick explanation on the 1gb limitation - unlike HTC phones, SGW can only rely on the 1GB for storing large games such as gameloft's games and Electronic Arts' games onto the internal storage even though you buy an external microsd card. For HTC phones, you can fully utilize the external SD card for this. So the difference its in the filesystem - the way that samsung partitioned it. That's why. But if you root you could map it to your external SD card allowing you to make full use of it.

In terms of why the galaxy W is slower than iphone 4 in games is because of the GPU - you cannot compare CPU in pure numbers, there's a GPU element there. You're like trying to compare the gaming performance of a PC's quad core versus a dual core when the dual core one could win purely on a gaming standpoint if it had a better GPU than the quad-core machine. Its as simple as that.

One other thing - iOS is a lot more smoother than Android - this is a no brainer, at least in its current form Android 2.x is slower than iOS but i think Android 4.0 / Ice Cream Sandwich with its handware acceleration enabled by default should either knock the iOS performance out of the ballpark or at least be on par with it. The 1.4 Ghz in the Galaxy W is already very snappy and it can only slowdown if you add in more widgets and stuff to your homescreen - which you cant do in iOS that's why its so bloody snappy there in iOS land tongue.gif

No need root to patch game. U need to find the patch (from google), sometimes it comes in a form of Windows executable that modify the game APK so that it will use the external sd card. In some cases, you can find APK that already patched which they will tell u that the game will use external sd card.

Be mindful that when u download from untrusted source, there is always risk of malware....
So, if u want to patch it yourself... looky here:

no need to worry about internal storage, can extend / swap with external sd card if u root it.

about ram, it's not a lot, but hey, this device managed to play all newest game! i tested it on ShadowGun (perform better with ChainFire3d on nVidia mode, may be becoz i used "Reduce texture"), Samurai Vengeance 2, Siperman HD, Blood and Glory (do lack a bit sometimes..)... cant expect anything more jor...

but the patching way some1 here said tat the phone lags after that wor? or is that the swap 1?
