I have tried different roms, A LOT of different roms, and and all of them seem to be laggy and slow, including my original rom.
Could I be doing something wrong? or could the phone have some kind of error which causes a slow phone?

Damn. Thats the only suggestion i had.
I did read somewhere that doing a nandroid backup, then a full wipe and restoring the nandroid will give you slightly better performance.
Its like doing a disk defrag on your pc/lappy apparently.
I just flashed SlideVillain 1.1.0 which seems ok at the beginning. But allready some apps have laggy respons ex Friendstream.
Just for comparing i played around with a friends iPhone which is blazing fast compared to my hero. Really snappy respons. I am so close to switching...
Help anyone?
2.1 ROMs are known to slow down for no apparent reason.
The ROM I'm using is still on fire, try it out for yourself.
Ok, all I've tried is 2.1 roms, I'll look into Modaco soon. Thx!

Linpack = 3.078
Softweg = Too much writing,... what exactly do you need?
SenseHero is a 2.1 ROM.
Been running couple weeks, extremely quick and no lagg noticeable.
All other 2.1 ROMs are slow for me too.
Really, what do you expect from such a crap CPU? Sometimes, i feel that an OMAP 180MHz is better than this qualcomm cpu without fpu (lol).
Sorry.. but this ****ty cpu is generally slow. eg:
- opening messages, mail, peep, etc takes seconds on mine.
- games runs baddly.
- flikering between screens is snappy (when there's no cpu stres).
- sometime even the notification bar is laggy, most of the time is ok.
- sound output via bluetooth is choppy, and even choppier when you try to play a youtube video. i think this is pathetic, sooo pathetic.
- scrolling in sites is horrible sometime (eg: first zoom out a site then scroll). scroll is fluent at initial zoom on many site, but there are sites where the scrolling sucks (eg: pocketnow, wordpress mobile sites, etc)
- process listing takes a few seconds . this should be instant..
- more that I can't remember ATM
(they should brand the company crapcomm)
PS: using the latest official firmware.

Hey there all,
I was wondering... my Tablet S device is quite sluggish, delays between swipes, opening & closing programs, typing etc.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I tried reformatting 3 or 4 times to no avail.
Latest version of the Honeycomb OTA update 3.2.1.
Also, flash on the web is ridiculously slow and causes extreme slowdown. For e.g. on the Youtube website, the flash applet itself causes lag when activated (Using Opera Mobile) and I can only watch up to 480p. Anything above that lags and is unwatchable --- I remember reading that this is due to the hardware limitations of the Tegra 2 chip.
Anyhoo,
If anyone has any ideas or just helpful tips on how to make the device run smoother, could you let me know? I bought this device two days ago and am regretting it hard atm hahah. My phone (Gala SII feels so much smoother/responsive than this tablet)
Thanks all.
Well mate I dont have any experience like that, in fact this is the smoothest experience for me yet (i have a evo 3d )
But I noticed some lag when we have a LWP in use, remove that first and try,
And that LWP lag is gone after I flashed UK FW from AiO tool by condi. maybe you should do the same

Oh?
My Tablet S is experiencing some sluggishness too.
Is the UK firmware better than the US firmware? Why did you flash it anyway?
Have you tried using an alternative launcher like ADW EX? The stock Home launcher from Sony is pretty poor. If you drag slow enough to make the preview windows appear at the top of the screen, the frame rate drops significantly. Always found the swipes incredibly responsive otherwise.
I've got a nice performance boost from rooting, then using AdFree and Overclock Widget.

So Overclock Widget does actually work on the stock kernel?

Can't go above 1 Ghz, but you can set it and raise the minimum clock speed to get some more juice out of it. Might help the OP with some sluggishness during basic use.
I have no such problem at all with my tablet s wifi version, even when tethering with my iphone.
Why dont you take it back to the shop and make a complaint?
Thanks to everyone that replied with all those helpful comments.
I have tried everything, standard wallpaper. Format. Rooted.
Hmm maybe it is just my device?
BT keyboard input is really delayed for example. WiFi works due to that workaround (WiFi Locker app) I found using search, though I can't give much praise to the signal strength!
I just assumed the Tablet S was meant to be a bit sluggish (ref: CNET review and others: most say the tablet is a bit sluggish)
Ho dang, unfortunately I can't take it back for repair as I purchased it from eBay! x)
Maybe it's a hardware fault, a certain part(s) aren't working at optimum speeds/levels. I'll try taking it into a service center anyway.
Oh, and i'll try that Overclock widget!
Will report back with findings.
Thanks guys.

I have similar issue. The only solution I'd suggest:
(1) Get a cache remover like "1 Tap Cleaner Free" to remove cache. Cache can be very big ('00MB) in a few weeks.
(2) Get a task watch/killer, to find if there are any resident apps that keep reading activities/data of the tablet. You may then use the killer to kill them or uninstall them. (Frankly, many of those apps available in Play Store are susceptible. They might just want to get something from the user. So sorry that I could have no recommendation. But installing one and remove it afterwards may be fine.)
(3) Sometimes, a simple reboot helps.
Mine is working alright, though not terrific, and is having other issues to resolve. Taking back for service is always the last resort.
i have tried almost all the roms out there, sense, no sense etc and the rezound is SO laggy. especially on ICS. the last thing i tried yesterday, was the stock LEaked ICS, and i debloated it myself, and it is so slow. i had to do a battery pull 4 times on the way home last night while using instagram. honestly, im using my INC2 now, and it is so much less laggy and faster on both, ICS and GB
the specs are so nice, but man, its terrible. the ONLY thing i have not tried are custom GB roms. i SO love the look and feel of this phone, and the battery life is good. but man, i cant take the laggyness. i sooooo want to solve this
thoughts?
maybe you have a lemon?
Not sure what lag you're seeing. Mine is pretty good. Every now and then some lag will creep up but overall its lagfree and snappy.
Most roms I've tried even gb roms are somewhat laggy except rezrom gb. Nils business ics is also good for me. Ics lag is mainly due to kernel as there is no source yet. Is the stock Rom laggy for you as well? I've noticed this phone doesn't respond too well to underclocking like my EVO did

duel core?
Also, coming from a 512mb phone that was also dual core this phone flies
its just the battery life that's ****
yeah that sounds like you just got a bad phone. I'm running new ICS leak, Rooted, desensed myself and whatnot, also put it into tablet mode and it flies like crazy! No overheating or bad battery life. Ya got yourself a lemon.

How does one define lag anyways? What I might think is fast and quick maybe to slow for you. But as the others have said you may have a lemon. Look in the general thread for on how to s on. You will have to run the latest Gb ruu then do the s on command. I do not know it of the top of my head right now.. but make sure you are on a signed stock hboot before you s on
there's got to be something wrong with your phone. i'm still on stock & performance wise it's comperable to the galaxy nexus. oh and battery life sucks on all 4g phones.

Very true....i define lag as, when i press the home button, it takes a sec or two to get to home, all other phones i have owned goes right to home. opening apps, kinda slow compared to other phones as well. typing, VERY laggy unless i shut off vibration and the pop ups...
try factory reset it help sometimes after debloating

I do a fair bit of texting all day & using Smart Keyboard Pro with vibration/popups on I get absolutely no lag whatever.

Ahh hrm maybe it's just the Sense 4.0 ROM's that Instagram may or may not work on....haven't run a 3.6 ROM in a long time
I have a similar problem to the original post. It has been taking about 2-3 seconds to enter settings, bookmarks within browser, etc. I have boiled it down to maybe a hardware issue. My phone ran great on GB though, so idk.I am rooted with s-off on the ICS leak with the fixed kernel. It usually runs good after first installing a rom, but then lag along. And this is with no apps downloaded.
I have another unrooted, non s-off Rezound with GB and it flies. I think I am going to switch to that. Hopefully when we get official ICS I can compare the two devices.
Long story short, I have the same problem but I am finding most people don't have this lag issue. Don't know what is causing it. Maybe I screwed up my hardware during s-off.

I have no clue, good question though. Worth looking into for others. Although I think there is a way to get back to S-ON in a thread in the Development section? My phone was Stock S-Off so I lucked out with that, so I'm sure I can, I'm sure you would be able too as well.
After listening to all good remarks, I finally got a hold of this tablet. This being a quad core tablet, I assumed it should be fast. But to my surprise, it was actually not a really great experience. Things lagged every now and then. And it seems to be even worse when browsing. I tried alternative browsers but they all seem to be the same. Even Chrome Beta!

As far as I am aware the IO scheduling is not really what it ought to be with the Prime, with regards to browser lag though, I have switched plugins to on-demand in the stock browser settings and that helps a bit.
Some beta testers of the soon to be released firmware are reporting major improvements across the board, so hopefully you won't have long to wait.
Which version of the ASUS firmware are you on? Just out of curiosity.
This is not a question though. If you are having lagging issues; you could try to do a cold reset. This may help out as it has with others. The browser on the other hand has been an ongoing issue. You can help this by installing adblock, use opera, turn flash to on demand, or use the browser2ram tweak here on xda. There should be an update to help also sooner or later.

Or install AOKP ROM on your Prime which I did.
Hope that helped
The Chrome Beta is known to cause the browser lag. Even it just being installed and you're using a different browser.
Uninstall chrome beta. Uninstall flash and reinstall flash.
Try opera mobile. It's been the best for me so far. I definitely have no browser lag, but did when chrome was installed. Same on my gtablet running an ICS rom.

Yeah my bad. Gave the wrong title. Was supposed to ask how it was for you guys. I'm pretty sure what you said would probably improve the experience on the Prime but don't you think we shouldn't do anything by default? I tried doing cold resets but doesn't really seem to help.

Hmm, okay will try.
I have noticed occasional lag on my Prime from time to time most often while using the browser. Asus has indicated that it might be a problem with nV Flash and that it will be resolved in the next update. I guess we'll see. Really the occasional lag is my only complaint with the Prime, but it doesn't stop me from saying my experience is mostly positive.

Try AndroWook's ROM. The thing is fantastic; especially the newest version based on the TF300 JB base. It's slick as slick can be and takes the stuttering right out it.
Seriously, im disappointed. I loved my phone before the update, but now..after getting the update, I hate it. I want it OFF my phone. It totally fd up this phone. Pinch zoom is incredibly SLOW and CHOPPY. It freezes and lags like a SOB. And facebook...forget it. I visited the full site constantly because the mobile site caused too many problems. It used to be so fluid smooth. Now it kerps freezing and lagging. The POST/COMMENT button wont work most of the time. I have tried 2 browsers and Its the same problem on both. Also it wont stay centered when im typing. If I try to scroll it to see my text im typing, it forcfully moves back to the other location. What kind of update is this? It broke System Panel so now the cpu usage meter on the top right stays peaked out at 15xxmhz almost. Is there any way to fix these problems? 1 hour and I already cant stand it. This blows! Id rather use my Touch Pro 2 than this if I could. :/

Im sorry if I came off the wrong way, in a way certain parts are quite speedy...but others, like Facebook took a huge hit. I tried a few of my emulators. They seem to work. Nesoid even works despite what I have heard from others. But it seems to lag on frames. Like, the video frames will appear faster but it will skip many thus the motion is choppy instead of fluid. N64oid works faster. I guess thats a plus. I only tried Goldeneye. Typing seems more accurate, but this sollg and screen jumping business is making it very difficult to type..with what was once cake. It wont stay centered on your text. The text boxes in facebook nuke the cpu as soon as you click inside them. It wasnt bad at all before this. I have not tried maps, but since you asked, I might as well.

Unlike on locked down Motorola phones, it is perfectly possible to revert to gingerbread.
1. Unlock Bootloader with HTCDev
2. S-OFF with juopunutbear
3. Run Gingerbread RUU
4. You can stay S-OFF and Unlocked, or if you want to, S-ON and relock.

Right? I was on gb until like a month or two ago and I still prefer gb firmware over ica firmware. I have yet to try the latest radios but I still love the gb radios
I found Opera Mobile to work better. But damn...and yea, its either revert back or custom ROM. I still have not ever flashed before. Guess its one of those things I worry about because if reading a few horror stories of someones phone being bricked after flashing or phone radio not working.
I have seen people in here praising ICS left and right like it was the best update ever. I dont come in here often enough so maybe I missed the posts saying ICS is slow. I wonder if it is Sense 3.6 causing the slowdown?
Most things are the same probably butvsome stuff is def faster and hardware acceleration/gpu rendering makes everything completely smooth and not choppy like GB. Things will get better with some gud kernels when they release source

Major update from gb to ics will cause problems if you don't wipe the phone.
But to each their own

Hello guys.
I bought my opx last month and for the most part of it I am very happy with the phone. I am an android newbie (I know what the terms flash, ROM, kernel etc mean but never tried something on my phone). One issue that really bugs me (apart from the little lag here and there when moving to shelf or when closing certain tabs from 'recent') is that whenever I select something from the settings, the 'select' animation (that little circle that expands) is really laggy and choppy. On the other hand, I tried it on my friend's opx and is was way smoother. (this was an issue from the start btw it is not that I installed a bad app or something). So, any ideas why this is happening? Should I try to flash a certain ROM or install a custom kernel? Is there a good build that improves performance?
Thanks in advance!

You can try to reduce animation speed in developers options. Perhaps your friend also did this.
backup everything and factory reset the device. it should fix it, if it doesn't then it probably is a hardware issue(unlikely)...
also make sure that you are on the latest version of OOS, i.e. 2.2.0-X.

Actually I removed the animator scale completely because it was very choppy as i said. I tried it at x23 and x50 but still the same. :/
That's really strange. Have you tried factory resetting it? I used the stock rom in it's entirety for about a week and it was perfectly smooth and usable. I only switched to a different kernel because people were saying that it helped 3D performance noticeably (and they were right.).

No I haven't. Maybe I should give it a try. The problem is that I removed animator scale completely and it doesn't bother me anymore, so I am not that motivated to factory reset . Btw, If i want to install the bluespark kernel you are probably talking about, I have to be rooted? Also does installing a custom kernel require a data wipe?

You do need to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed. The cool thing about 1+ is that neither of these things (which requires an unlocked bootloader) will void the warranty. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phones data sadly, I've never understood why. My Moto G did the same thing..
