After installing Vibrant6 and lag fix, my Quadrant score was 1992. I flashed back to stock using the stock firmware sticked in AD thinking I was going to try Eugene's Froyo. I decided against it and reflashed Vibrant6 and reinstalled the lag fix. Now my Quadrant score is only in the 800's.
Anyone know what would cause this or how to fix it? I made sure to remove the lag fix before I flashed back to stock and I even had Odin repartition when I flashed back to stock.
Lil help?
the "lag fix" didnt take... do you notice a difference? After 2 weeks of use I cant tell the difference without...
Holding 3 diff Vibrants one stock, the others with different "lag fixes", think youd be able to tell which is which? I very seriously highly doubt it.. So seriously I had to use three adjectives..
yeah...its more of a bragging thing than a functionality thing.
I noticed a difference after soft bricking mine. When I download and install something from the market its faster without the lag fix. With the lag fix the phone just stops working or a second and then continues after it finishes installing. Without the lag fix there is no pause, it just keeps going. Moving around on the home screen there seems to be noticeable lag when you drag to different windows without the lagfix. With the lagfix it is non-existent.
Oh and I softbricked the phone by trying to use the lagfix removal from MCR scripts...

I just noticed the market thing last night. If you wait 1/2 second between button presses, its all good. I didn't have to wait at all pre-lag fix.
Very strange....

Is it possible that rooting the Vibrant causes lag? I finally rooted my phone to install the gps fix from the later firmware, and now my phone suffers horrible lag. Before rooting I had no lag and no delays. Everything was fast. Now menus take seconds to come up, programs take seconds to load. Is it possible rooting has caused this? Or maybe even the GPS fix?
Is it possible for me to keep the GPS fix, but unroot and remove One-Click Root and Clockwork? Thanks.
It's not the root that caused the lag. Try a battery pull and see if that helps. I'm not sure fixes will work without root.
More apps more lag

I also felt that way but in a couple of days after a few reboots it will be back to normal. However my average Quadrant score definitely dropped by about 20-30 points (not much but I did notice) after I did the one click root method
I thought it might be more apps, but I've actually taken apps off (none of the stock stuff though). Just extra games and apps I didn't use. It didn't help.
I've rebooted 4 or 5 times since then and nothing's helped. It's just very odd. I would expect root to lag at all unless it's calling super user for access validation everytime or something.
So recently my eris has been lagging really bad to the point where its pissing me off. it was working fine for a couple of month then the lag started so i factory reset my phone but the lag is still there. it would lag from 30 seconds to mins... I have the latest sensable rom on my phone and i dont think its the rom that is bad..
I was wondering what i can do about this lag.. is my phone broken? Another thing to add is that when the lag started my trackball also started to mess up it occasionally... a lot... moves the left. connection?
If your trackball is starting to scroll to the left at random times, then the lag could definitely be a hardware issue. I had the same issue before I got a replacement Eris. If your phone is still within warranty, then I would take it in and ask for a replacement.
i bought my phone used off of ebay... so i dont think i have warranty...

I remember seeing a thread long time ago with a guide about cleaning underneath the trackball. Removing lint and other particles might help your situation.
Just did a search. There are more thread regarding it, but here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716681
Have you changed your cpu frequency lately? It might not like the speed you are running it at. Also if you are using the setcpu widget that can cause problems.

thanks for the tip on fixing the trackball. it kinda works for me it doesnt scroll to the left as often now. but im still laggggggging like crazy.
i dont know how to change the cpu... i never messed with oc. just install the rom and thats it.

What ROM are you using? Many of the custom ROMs have SetCPU built in. It is fairly simple to use. Just adjust the slider bars for the minimum and maximum speeds. If you set it too high, it can cause kernel panic, which may result in random reboots and lag at times. Higher speeds also consume more battery power. If the minimum is too low, it might take a bit longer to wake up, once the screen is off.
I'm using senseable Rom. There isn't the setcpu app.

I keep reading all these threads about the lag fix. Threads about people having lag. Well, I give up. I've had my vibrant since day one that Tmobile made them available, have installed JI6 update and the phone has always been super fast.
So.... can someone tell me what is this "lag" that everyone is talking about (in specific terms), and how can you tell you have it? Thanks in advance.
BTW, you don't have to tell me how to fix it as there are plenty of threads on that. I'm only asking how can you tell you have the lag problem in the first place. Does every vibrant that does not have a lag fix installed has a lag problem or are there some vibrants who don't have a lag problem while others do? Just confused on what exactly this lag problem is. Thanks guys.
If you own a vibrant you have 'lag' its because of the way Samsung designed their file systems. The lag fix changes your system files to a more efficient file system (ext4) I think.

How do you tell you have lag that you need fixed?
Briefly, it has to do with processor speed. Lag is supposed to be inherent in the Vibrant stock kernel. Download Quadrant Standard from Android Market. Run full benchmark. If the score is 800 to 900 you have lag. Any score above 900, there is no lag. It is not a problem if you are content with your phone having lag. If you want to speed it up, that is a lag fix. Saw this in the forums.
Thanks on the info on Quadrant Standard. I just downloaded it and run it and it says 908. Guess that must be why I don't see the lag everyone is talking about.
Lag is the second (s) delay when opening apps. I have never been bothered by it, ever.
If that's all there is then I fail to see what all the brouhaha is about. My apps open almost always instantaneously. 100s of times faster than I'm used to in Windows 7 opening its apps.

And installing lagfix makes things more complicated for me other though says it's an easy thing to do. but i didn't even bother to try it.
im wondering if it is the speed scripts? i am using eclipse 1.1 now so im going to see if that fixes it. but i have been getting the freeze when unlocking the phone, and sometimes randomly when im using the phone the screen goes 100% unresponsive...the buttons work, but nothing else...then after about a min or two it comes back..VERY annoying...
Do u reboot or clear system caches on a regular /daily basis? This may help.
Sounds like things are getting clogged up. I used to have that problem a while ago before I started rebooting once a day. Usually when I wake up and sometimes twice a day. It is healthy for an android phone to be rebooted once a day. Just plain works better.
oh this has happend right after a SBF or a reinstall of an OS, so there was not even a day on it. it happened this morning once when i unlocked the phone BUT i had that speedy script installed, i resotored from a back up before i installed that scrpit so im going to see if it happens again....i hope it is not hardware related..

I hope it isn't also.
It has only happened to me in the past like I said. It's been a long time tho((knock on wood))
I have also been running the speedy script v6 . I only made one change and that was deleting the 3gturbo entries in the one script. And I haven't had this problem yet at all. Been running for two and half days now.
has this also happened on 2.3.3? i was wondering if it was a 2.3.4 issue?
Sounds like something clogging your memory. When I start fruit ninja my x2 screen goes unresponsive for up to 20 seconds I assume its just memory management during game startup. Are you using a task killer to maximize free ram? This will cause background apps that you may have killed to restart if they are called upon. That would cause the phone to bog down temporarily
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
nope no task killers at all. i noticed using system panel i was at only 77 mb using eclipse...
My phone doesnt freeze but it does randomly reboot no matter what rom, script, length of use before a restart, or whatever.

I guess I got pretty lucky with not getting reboots.
Even before I rooted and rom'd up I think I MAY have had one random reboot. I guess I just got lucky. Basically the only major problem I have had that others have os the music skipping I used to encounter lag occasionally but since I started my daily reboot routine lag is pretty null on most occasions.

I wonder the same been using eclipse straight up except for setting the min to 216 instead of 312 never had any issues period . Might be worth getting rid of speed scripts and see if that is the issue.
2.3.4 was made pretty much to fix the lockups and reboots. It might be something with your backups. I know I just used a backup a couple days ago after giving up on upgrading to 2.3.4 and until today when I finally upgraded to 2.3.4 it was slow, laggy and unresponsive. Mind you before that last nandroid, it was working amazingly.
(summarized below in tl;dr version)
Since my problem I need help with showed up after going back to stock + root, I thought I'd ask in general before filling up the ROM discussion in development about the problem that I found after updating to ICS (leaked).
Had an odd problem crop up on me with scrosler's CleanROM 2.2 SP1 running (will 'splain in a sec, and tl;dr sum-up at the end), so I relocked, flashed back to pre-OTA official firmware and then let the OTA run. All was good, and I was happy. I unlocked again, installed Amon Ra, reinstalled SU, and started putting in my happy-fun root required tools (Oh Titanium, I likes you so). Then, my problem reappeared.
So my problem is occasionally the touchscreen would act "wacky" at times. Specifically, while in my browser, sometimes when I tried to scroll while browsing, the display would act like I was using pinch-zoom. It acted like I was touching the top left corner of the display in portrait mode, and zoom-in/-out according to how I was moving my touch that I intended to scroll. Then I noticed that games which required multi-touch had significant problems reading constant touch on most of the top-half of the display (left half in landscape mode with the carrier name on the left). I like Age of Zombies, and while the game would start off running right, within 20-60 seconds, the movement virtual controller would rapidly turn on and off, leaving me able to fire but not move. Grand Theft Auto was unplayable, as every time I touched a direction key in driving mode, the system would lose track of my holding the gas.
Troubleshooting took a while, as I had installed a lot of apps, and made a few changes at once after everything appeared to run properly. Ultimately, the problem appears to be caused by underclocking, and I can't figure out how to kill that and lock myself at stock speed. Haven't tried an overclocking capable kernel to see if they run any better, and haven't tried checking voltages to see if bumping them on underclocks would fix it.
I have used Antutu CPU master, an old version of SetCPU, and System Tuner Pro (from 3c). I can set the min and max CPU to 1.52, and it seems to stay for a while, but eventually, the setting reverts to allowing underclocking and my touchscreen gets goofy.
tl;dr: My system, even after restoring to RUU/OTA, wants to underclock. When the CPU runs under stock speed, my touch-screen misbehaves, particularly in gaming, but also in browsing. Any help?
Thanks
Can almost definitely confirm it's just bad hardware at this point.
After running 2 days without problem other than the touch-screen issue noted above, the phone entered an persistent bootloop after I loaded Juice Defender today. Phone would reboot, come up to home screen, get a data connection, tell me how many new email and texts I had, then tell me an app (same every reboot) was not responding and reboot 2-3 seconds after I cleared the error. Even when I managed to get to market before a reboot and uninstall the last 2 apps I'd installed, the phone is still in a boot loop.
Appreciate all that took the time to read, and wanted to share that there's a pretty good reason no one could respond with a solution.
Well, it probably is bad hardware but two cardinal rules I have when working on any Rezound is NEVER restore with Titanium BU & don't use Juice Defender (and I have a paid version of it).
I have had both mess up certain phones & I do this stuff all day at work.
I only noticed the underclocking issue with the ICS roms. But, I believe it is due to the Kernels not supporting under/overclocking and scaling options yet.

I've had the same issue for a while now and nobody answered Me either. After a little research it seems we have bad digitizers. I say this because that was happening to me on gingerbread and I upgraded to ice in part to fix it.

Okay so I have a similar problem.
I have hephappy cm9 prefinal installed just started having problems with rom. screen was acting funny so I turned on the touch point developer tool supplied with the rom. I have found that I have multiple touch points when scrolling with one finger.
So I used a apk called touch recalibrate that I got when I was on mik's cm7.
Which I have recalibrated aprox 7 times with no improvements so I set my cpu to min 600 max 600 smartassv2 this did not help either. If anyone has the answer to this problem please let me know.
