Hi guys, watch this:

Our hero is like Desire;
Is it possible to make some hack to improve multitouch? (to make it work like on Galaxy S)
Or it's a hardware problem?
If you want to test your device this is the apk:
"Is it possible to make some hack to improve multitouch?"
No
"Or it's a hardware problem?"
Yes... or... maybe Screen/Touch-Device-Firmware issue (which probably can't be upgraded if such thing exists at all)
I know it's an issue... it's been known for a long time. However, I haven't seen a single application whose usage suffers from this, and I know I'll get into trouble for this but I think multitouch is overrated... nice gimmick but I hardly ever use it (unless the app forces me to e.g. album)
Personally I wouldn't buy the Samsung Galaxy S... it looks like a really cheap iPhone 1G rip-off and their UI layer sucks balls.... hell even that looks like a cheap rip-off of the iPhone UI.
I've just gotten hold of one of these to use in the car as a media/sat nav gadget !
I was wondering if any techies might know if it was closer to an S1 or S2?
It has only come with android 2.2 but so far it seems pretty much as quick as my s2 but it would be good to get a newer rom on it
Any S2 devs going to get one? Hint hint!
Anyone? There doesn't seem to be much info on this android device at all yet its a pretty sweet mini tablet/media player!
It's basically samsungs answer to the ipod touch
Closer to the Galaxy S I since it has the same 1ghz processor. http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdamaster&posted=1&cpu=a10010
Hello everyone,
Recently i've been planning to change my mobile and i've planned to buy an android based mobile phone.I'm a complete newbie and this will be my first experience with an android device,so i've been up for some research lately regarding different android devices and from my point of view i think samsung galaxy s2 and htc sensation xe are the best mobiles in the market at the moment and benchmarking results etc show that galaxy s2 is a better-off mobile so i'm thinking to buy this mobile but i have few questions before i buy this device.
1)During my research i saw that there are too many people doing customizations of HTC mobiles on youtube and i can hardly find ppl doing customization of that level with the samsung galaxy s2,so does this mean that there is less customization in the galaxy s2 thn the htc mobiles(sensation xe)?htcs have so many different user interfaces with different lock screens,home screens etc but in galaxy i can hardly find ppl customizing the interface,all galaxy s2 have the same dock setup as it is out of the box condition but htcs have different things like htc sense 3.0 UI..so are these customizations availble in the galaxy s2 too or only HTCs can do such customization?although both are android :s..
2)galaxy s2 has bettr frnt camera,its faster thn the sensation xe,althought xe is 1.5 ghz.galaxy has usb on the go function,faster hsdpa,better battery life,2 microphones,bttr camera (some say), where as sensation xe has beter screen res and ppi....so the main thing thats confusing me or maybe stoping me to buy the galaxy s2a is custiomization,i dont really know whether HTC Sensation xe is more customizable mobile or the galaxy s2, coz on youtube,everyone is customizing the HTCs...And my plan is to buy a mobile that has endless customization plus apps,so i will never be bored of that mobile.So from customization point of view,which is better? =)..and if galaxy s2 is quite customizable then will i be able to use all the customizations of HTC sense and other htc mobiles (like on youtube) in galaxy s2?for e.g will htc sense UI 3.0 work with galaxy s2?or htc customizations can only be done with htc mobiles and not samsung?(although both are android).recomnd me the best mobile betw these two,from customization and apps point of view.
lastly,as i told earlier that i'm a complete newbie to android devices,will i be able to customize these mobiles or they require rooting etc to be done in order to do customization(which a newbie like me might not be able to do)?cuz if it does require then i mite brick the mobile and that becomes risky.will a completely new user be able to change the roms etc etc of the device or do its very tough work for a noob?please recomend me the best mobile for me among Gs2 and sense XE ?although nexus is going gud too but i dont like its 5mp cam,galaxy and sense has 8mp :/.
waiting for a response..
thanks

Htc sense may be the only better thing than touchwiz.. But touchwiz 4 has more cutomizations as you want.. Samsung has improved ui and customization with touchwiz 4..
Simple, s2 is still best and ahead of all phones(including sensation xe)..
Buy the phone you will love it..

Not to mention sense drains your phone. Bloody hell, it just sucks the life out of it. I personally don't find it worth it for the aesthetics.
Got to agree Sense just drains the battery and imho it is too bloated.
You will need to root to be able to flash different rom's and customisation's, but it's not that difficult and there are plenty of threads with instructions on how to.
surely i will be going for the galaxy s2

just but one you want to buy, but I suggest you buy S2, my friend have a sensation, but both we think that S2 is better then sensation took much.
it's not very difficult to customize Rom of S2 by yourself, use HTC Android Kitchen.

but i wonder why there are too few videos on youtube related to customization of s2 and most of the ppl are using htcs to show customizations that can be done on android..
i'm just unsure whether an android newbie like me will be able to do customizations or not..cuz if customizing becomes a prob for me after i have brought s2 then i wont be able to make the mobile more fun to use and eventually get bored and might have to shift to iphone or something later on.This will be my first experience with an android device.and i heard customizing android can lead to bricking the phone aswell(if a newbie tries to custmize)..nw that makes me nervous as its a risky game thn..
I used Sense for a long time and it is the most beautiful and functional launcher or android modification ever.
When i started to use touchwiz there were two things i noticed instantly...
Touchwiz has less abilities to personalize and is very iphone-like...
But its lightweight... very lightweight.
Nearly as light as the aosp one...
Everything has it pros and contras, you have to decide for yourself,
but i can promise you, the sgs2 is the best phone your hand could ever hold. In my opinion in ways better than the new galaxy note.
Switched from HTC Sensation to S2....its way better...

yeah gona buy the gs2,lets see how it goes for me
Hi there, I have a Samsung Galaxy i9003(SL).
I think there is a problem with touch screen response speed.
Although Galaxy SL has a 1 ghz processor and better gpu than SonyEricsson Xperia Mini, It seems that Xperia Mini is faster when we're talking about touchscreen response(messaging,sliding the menu etc)
After trying another lower resolution(i mean lower than galaxy sl) android phones such as galaxy ace, galaxy gio or android sdk(because you can set any resolution with it) I realized touch screen response is related with resolution.
Lower the resolution faster the touchscreen response gets.
I found this really annoying. You're paying much more to get a faster and big screen phone. But what you get is slower than the cheaper ones.
Do you think is there a way to lower the resolution on samsung galaxy sl to get a faster response? I found a way to change it but instead of changing the resolution(like 800x480 to 640x360) it changes LCD density and that is not what i want because it does not affect any response speed. or maybe another way? Changing kernel, improving gpu etc?
Maybe i'm asking too much because what i'm talking about is like miliseconds delay but i can sense the difference when i'm testing another phones.
Iphone seems to overcome this situation. Why android can't?
Super boosting your touchscreen
Hello Kreston,
I am also using Samsung galaxy SL gt-i9003 and was having the same issues like you. Whenever i switch the phone off and start it again, the touchscreen responses better. But this isn't a solution. So, I searched the internet and found an app which will super boost the response. Even better than your xperia mini. The good news is, the app is exclusively developed for samsung galaxy s series.
name of the app:- SGS Touchscreen Booster
sorry i was unable to give you the link because i am a new member and am not allowed to post links in my messages until and unless i have posted 8 posts.
Do remember to thank me bro !!!
Now before anyone attacks me for bad mouthing their favorite mobile OS, let me state that I've been using Android since the G1.
I know I'm not the only one who has this problem or has made this observation. I have only ever purchased flagship devices. Quite a few since 2009. Every single one has been laggy.some more than others but here I am on a brand new Note 4 having the same problem again. It was the same with the Nexus 6 before it and the Nexus 5 before that and so on and so on.
I thought things would get better over time but even with 5.0 the lag was there. It actually made my Nexus 5 worse and my nexus 6 ran like crap... so much so I had to switch to the bloat ware filled Samsung Note 4,which despite having its own lag problems,runs better than the N6 it replaced.
Someone please explain to me why this is still an issue all these years later and is there ever hope for a smooth running android device.
Please don't come in here and say I'm holding/doing it wrong or that your android device isn't laggy. That's BS.
I love the functionality of Android and I don't plan on ever switching.I've even bought an iPhone when the 5S was released and learned it wasn't for me.
Hope this is the right place for this post.
In samsungs phones the causer of lag is touchwiz launcher and samsungs bloatware apps. Sorry for my bad english. Im from finland
There is no bad choises, only bad results.
SGS III Mini
tenshi_xp's PAC Rom RC-3
KitKat 4.4.4.
I agree that touch wiz and the bloat apps don't help but even "pure android" phones have the same problems without the launcher and apps. The problem isn't just on Samsung phones.
Anyone else want to offer any input? This is baffling.

maybe you could try a taskmanager app to control your ram
