you maybe don't understand  the lag I mean,

note 2 yeh? i got one here right now, not much difference than S3

maybe because I'm quite a long time mod phone user

you will feel the s3 or note 2 is butter smooth right now, after u tried mod phones

you'll know how bad the android rom developers at the companies  brows.gif

cant describe in words, you need to try it yourself if got modded S3 or Note 2
i can only say, official roms usually lousy coding and optimize, not only samsung, LG too

other companies i don't know, havent tried use their phones yet

Yeah, maybe I don't. So do enlighten me about it. So what is the lag that you mean then?

He can't describe it, so it's probably all perception. People bit*h about 0.5s or maybe 0.25s ? Uncle Benny has stated many times that all phones lag, even Holy Fruit.

yeap that's why I dont like some Apple users. They talk as if their iOS is lag-free all the time and Android is laggy as if it takes a few seconds to open apps but in reality it's just down to milliseconds that don't even matter in real world usage unless you live your life in the milliseconds..

Anyway, people are having too many first world problems .... complaining about 1 or 2 seconds .... let's see what happens to ipr0n when it gets widgets. iOS architecture prioritizes the screen draw over all other threads, and they have fixed screen sizes with a hand optimized CPU. Really crapples and oranges.

"I know some people like their devices to look premium: “If I paid 500 bucks on a phone, it better look like it!” I guess this logic would make the new Vertu Ti (clad in titanium and sapphire crystal) the ultimate Android smartphone, right? Not really, I think we all agree."

too early to tell about the Exynos 5. it should not be that bad, i like the A15 core and implementation of big.LITTLE power saving A7 core.

samsung did well with S2 - Exynos 4210 was ahead of its time.
s3 - Exyno 4412. sorry, i still think this is a rip-off. being forced into the market to milk the popularity of S2 when Exynos 5 is still not ready.

let's hope sammy make a come back with Exynos 5. they can do it if they spend less $ on advertisement and gimmick tech and push for some real advancement.

Actually they can't stop spending, otherwise the sheeple press will bleat the praises of Holy Fruit loudly. So Samsung needs to go on both the Tech front and the Marketing front. Drowns out some of the "baa baa".

Exactly, Great explanation, thank you smile.gif

I know my English is bad, and not good at explaining, some ppl just taking it too serious

I did say they arent good at making smooth official ROMs, the phones are good, it can be better, don't have to flame me doh.gif

In fact, I got s3 and note 2, they are great,  fast, smooth, but can be better, I'm just telling what I thought about it.
*
Dude, Andrewtst's English is fair (to be polite) but he does get his point across usually. At least he managed to explain it in simple terms. I gave you the link so you can try harder.

At any rate, even he is saying the lack of "smoothness" is negligible, and all phones suffer from this at one time or another. I remember going "wow" when I got my Note 2 compared to the lag on my Note 1, so I see nothing to complain about the current generation of Samsung high end phones.

Will wait until device arrives at our shores, but from the launching, this simply shows that SAMSENG has no capability to really innovate.
All their 2012 smartphones look the same, only with different screen sizes.
With no Apple to copy, obviously the gooks are loss...

Now, they are even too lazy to change the design, which is like, FUGLY totally.

All they need to do is spend billions in marketing and s-fags will just buy it.

And they are still using the panties matrix. OMG!!! This is worse display technology than s2!!!

SAMSENG is obviously going to dump android platform soon and focus on tizen.

LOL

the "octa" core actually not powerfull compare to snapdragon 600 .. it just for power saving which it have 2 quad-core cpu on exynos 5 .. 1 cpu for texting,surfing .. 1 more cpu for high-graphic ..

Correct me if wrong biggrin.gif

Yes it is actually 2 x 4cores. I'm not sure if results have been published for SD600 vs Exynos 5412.

really depends on how the marketing guys wanna spin it.
they could let top developers become their affiliate so of course with T&C all their trade secrets remain as trade secrets.

touchwiz will always be standard on every new phone.
then 6 months after the model launch they can make available as online download only via official samsung website the "lite" version.

since they like to rehash their old hardware into new products (Galaxy S -> S Plus -> S Advance -> Ace -> S3 Mini)
it would definitely make their phones faster than running bloatware touchwiz (no wonder they need the fastest processors)  doh.gif

That, I think, will lead us to the situation where Sony and Motorola are in now...comes with locked bootloader !!!! You can unlock it either for a fee or via some kind of one-time request for unlock after which you can never revert to the locked situation again, and you will likely have waived your right to warranty.

That's untenable for me. I'd be fine with root access and a cooked ROM or freezable stock apps.

Nothing. Just saying I prefer highly sensitive screen.
I seem to have chosen the wrong word to describe. It should be sensitive than responsive.

That should clear the confusion. Smoothness of course is better on Note 2 with its bigger ram capacity. It's just that on S3, it registered even the slightest touch. Just a personal preference.

HTC One end of April. S4 in May.

HTC really shot themselves in the foot for having supply problems and not taking advantage of the earlier launch date..

http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/25/4144280/...o-freshen-brand

HTC it (sic) set to retire the "Quietly Brilliant" tagline from its product ads, in an attempt to freshen its image and kickstart a new, bolder marketing campaign, according to the company's marketing chief. Acknowledging that the company hasn't "been loud enough" in the past, HTC CMO told the WSJ that's all about to change as HTC gears up to fight both Apple and Samsung with the release of its new HTC One Android flagship.

"Bold, authentic, and playful"

Despite using its "Quietly Brilliant" tagline since October 2009, HTC will introduce a new marketing campaign for the HTC One using the themes "bold," "authentic," and "playful." According to Ho, "bold" demonstrates that HTC will be more aggressive in the marketing of its new products, "authentic" is said to reinforce its focus on innovation, and "playful" is meant to reference HTC's development of features that are based on consumer demand.

This is no longer the first batch...it's the S3, and it's been out for nearly a year already. The s3 is still a much more powerful device than the s3 mini.

Of course. Tell them you want to switch plans or terminate your account. I don't know if you can port a postpaid number to a prepaid one.
