Wow this is awesome as for user lag
I had phone freeze up 3 or 4times and after taking a few "3d" pics I hit home and my launcher and home screen looked holographic lol
I'm always at 140mb free all the time even after hitting kill tasks still only 150-200
Bloated UI sucks ass
We need miui or cm7 on this *****! HTC sense 3.0 and this RAM leaking gingerbreak sucks ass
Ok I'm done now

I have the same.. i dont get why the system is taking up so much ram. I understood with my evo 4G.. we had 768mb ram.. leaving us with a couple hundred .. but now we have 1 gig and have even less .. wtf?? my ram jumps between 130 to 300 all the time.. lol normally under 200 tho.

I think evo only had 512mb if I am not mistaken.
I haven't even checked my memory....I'm afraid to...It'll just infuriate me. Sense is such a bloated pig, the interface is sloppy and the only lag I see on the phone is from Sense....and then I run a more tolerable launcher on top of sense so I'm just pissing more memory away on that...
I can't wait for Cyanogen...though I will definitely try MIUI...it'll probably finally be as smooth as it's supposed to be. It was great on my 4G, but, just lacked that super-smooth polish on UI interactions...

I'll tell you right now either one is a vast improvement if you prefer them....LP is a little stuttery in places--perhaps the phone is too fast!??
But I have never seen ADW actually look so perfectly fluidly smooth...yes...buttery smooth. It was always a little rough around the edges (motion-wise) compared to LP, but that is no more.
I'll try ADW I've had it on my g2x dual core and it never lagged.. but then again that was stripped vanilla 2.2
I just honestly think gingerbreak aka gingerbread has a major RAM leak in it as well.. in all phones I ran Gb roms or even the pure GB nexus s it seemed to have less available RAM. . .
I'm insearch of ice cream aosp leak! Paying with my left nut and right kidney!

After closing everything I'm usually around 330mb free. Still should be more. HTC should automatically put 1gb of RAM just for sense.

Yea... There are a lot of services and crap running in the background. Even the Spiderman games starts up by itself if you see it in Avanced Task Killer that reads everything. At least when i kill all there i get almost 400mb free as opposed to the htc one. This isnt necesarry but looking at my history and having to go through what the HTC Mogul was, i started to get parranoid about RAM.
All in all, 1gb is more than enough so im not worried, be glad we dont have a Sensation that deals with the same crap but with a 200+mb handicap

How fast is the phone did the ota slow it down and does any phone have any lag or differnt from one phone like the sensation where one phone lags more then the other
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Speed is relative. This phone is wicked.
BANG! from my shooter...
The EVO 3D has more RAM than the Sensation so it will be faster. I have not noticed any lag what so ever. I performed both OTA updates.
1.2ghz dual core... it will be faster for just about everything than any other phone on the market (well, it will be equivalent to the other dc phones out there...). I messed around with it for about a half hour at the sprint store just now and it seemed snappier than my oc tmo g2 running at 1.5ghz, which is saying something.
Sounds great cant wait till tommerow I know the ram thing but they are saying some phone are running better then others and they have 2 differnt screens

Faster than any phone I've used so far, or any Android-based tablet.
Slower than my gaming rig.
It's faster than my overclocked Asus Transformer. Yes that's running honeycomb and higher res.
I can open the full espn.com with all flash turned on and it scrolls smoothly and as one review yesterday pointed out you never see the checkerboards it's that fast. When I first activated it and put my google account on I was showing my bro how fast it was (we both have Evos) and we both realized this was much faster, then after that I go to market and realized the whole time I was showing him that the phone was downloading and installing apps, needless to say it was even quicker at opening apps up once that was done.
Real fast. As others have said, there is just no lag, ever. Can't wait to see it overclocked!

This video isn't mine, but this video shows my exact issues. This happens when web browsing too, it isn't smooth as butter like some say, I experience slight scroll lag in my web browsers. anyway, here is a link to show the market lag.
My question to you all: if you do this on your phone, do you lag like the EVO 3d or are you butter smooth like the nexus s?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=COelN9Ots0g
I have it too, but i didn't notice until just now. Doesn't bother me though lol.
EDIT: This only happens on my market, not my browser, just checked it.
Yep have it too I am just hoping an update fixes it, and for sure a good ol custom ROM by Myn for sure will
Meh, I deal with it.
no doubt this is crappy code... but i dont really care if the market does not scroll properly. If my web scrolls right and there is not real system lag.. then im McLovin my 3vo =)
hail to the hack .. cant wait!
Wow what a nitpicker. THE DEVICE JUST CAME OUT! Be patient. It's not a showstopping bug... just a minor annoyance. Sheesh.
Maybe i'ts just the app because appbrain scrolls extremely fast....
man some of you really need to have better things to do. Really market scroll lag, are you telling me you normally scroll that fast? Out off all the things people complain about scrolling. I mean common now, my so called nexus s does that sometimes too. No phone is perfect. I am waiting for the evo 3d to be in my hands on thursday and I am sure I would have better things to do with it.
jesus if you wanted an imediate stable mediocre os so fast you shoulda gone iphone. especially considering gingerbread is new, even newer the 3vo, so chills.
switch to a non live wallpaper. my choppiness in the apps drawer and browser went back to being butter smooth!
Who the Eff would be scrolling the market that fast anyways? I scroll slow enough so I can read! Besides, the market was the same way for me on my Evo, on any sense rom that is. AOSP roms and the market was buttery smooth. I'm sure it will be the same way with this phone. Sense always scrolls lists a little laggy. Scroll a little slower and problem solved! lol.
Clearly, icons aren't getting cached properly.
I have the lag to is it the phone or the market I'm trying to figure out

Considering I never open up the market, go to all applications and scroll back and forth as fast as possible, I'm all set.

This is a minor issue for me. The market is not the list I want scrolled the fastest.
It's been really weird, but in the pull down "quick settings" the free memory will show something like
Total memory: 803mb
Used: 695 Free: 108
Which seems very low.
But if I look at running processes in settings/applications, I get 284 used, 432 available.
So, the questions are:
1. Are these two "memory" values refering to the same thing? They do not add up to the same total.
2. Which one really indicates system resources - I get Sense restarts whenever the quick settings value goes below about 125 - and I don't even know why this should be happening.
3. isn't this phone supposed to have 1gb of ram?
One thing i'm sure about...it is not the app space remaining.
Anyone have any insight?

No... It takes you to the new built in "task manager" app, which is very different for some reason.
I wanna know this as well.... Im kinda paranoid about RAM and thought that 1gb was more than enough, but the htc task manager really dissapoints me when i see what i have free (160-180 average) but i have over 400 free in the stock android process manager.
Which one is more accurate? And why are they so different?

Just did it, I forgot about the piss yellow and doo doo brown theme lol, but yea the choppy scrolling is gone. I always thought its because of the huge animated banners.
It's funny i was about to ask about this..I've gotten slow.lag scrolling sometimes and other times not..im rooted and oc'd to 1.8 using setcpu (until I can figure out the daemon) ..I noticed whenever I lagged setcpu had my CPU running like 300mhz..even when set to performance. All I want is for my CPU to go to the speed i select when the screen is on and back down when its off ..but instead it seems to bounce around too much..I noticed when I turn up both freqs up to 1.8 my browser is butter smooth..I get about 8000 in cf bench.. I wish I can get it to stay like that without having to keep it running so high while sleeping

Have you seen Windows Phone 7? It's sooooooo smooth its not even funny. I mean, it makes me smile every time I'm typing a text message and I switch it to landscape mode. In fact I switch between them because it just makes me smile.
On Android on the other hand.... its just plain bad and choppy even on a dual core device.
The accelerometer has always been one thing that I absolutely hate about Android. Its way too slow. On Windows Phone 7 its INSTANT. On Android its a wait of between 2-5 seconds. Very annoying. And when it finally changes orientation, the transition is crap. It doesn't even exist! (Although Motorola has added one in its Gingerbread builds)

With the latest ICS the phone can barely manage 2000 quadrant, so top end games are always going to lag. Even temple run stops and starts and lags sometimes for me, not to mention the crappy crackling sound.
..forcing dual core and setting the governor to performance helps a bit, but it's still not up to par where an S3 should be.
But I know it's possible since on my GSM version when putting some of the old GB mui based roms on I could get 4000+ quadrants with a bit of overclocking and games ran noticeably better.
My guess is because the screen is 3D capable it's not as efficient as other phones even when running in 2D, so HTC throttled the crap out the cpu/gpu/mem-bandwidth to equalise the battery drain.

Some ppl complain at ICS performance in games. Benchmarks dont tell **** cause every phone has lower scores at ICS I think. Look at galaxy nexus.
With this screen thing its interesting, but for me either my phone is faulty, or there are some drivers issues. I have 5+5 mpix gsm version, so that maybe its worse or sth.

Forcing dual core?how? Do you mean our dual core processers only work under one core?

by default the way its supposed to work is, the first core is always on, running to run apps and system. The second core is supposed to kick in on demand. When what you are running demands more, the second core is supposed to kick in.
This worked well on GB roms because thats the way they wrote the code. It was designed that way.
On ICS roms, there are ways to turn on both cores. There is a patch. There are some apps. The best one I've found is system tuner pro. You can set it to turn on both cores on completed boot and they will always be on.
This kicks up the performance of the phone significantly. However, there goes your precious battery life.
The EVO 3D has a pretty powerful dual core processor. Without it, the 3D would be totally useless.

Thanks for your explanation. But I am still confused about one thing. Do you mean the cellphone running ICS rom tuns on both of two cores when it completes boot? And no matter what I run, it always keep dual core running? If it was, the cellphone would spend more energy than GB rom.and generates more heat.....

That all depends on what rom you are using. Some developers have init.d edited to where both cores are always on. Or they've applied the patch to do so. By default, ICS is supposed to do the same as GB where the first core is on and the second is supposed to kick in on demand. I just feel that GB did a better job at managing it this way.
Chad Goodman always recommended turning on both cores and leaving them on in ICS as you will always get the best performance possible. Personally I like the option to turn em on if I want to with system tuner pro or leave only the first core on to save on battery life.
Chad had a very good explanation of this - how it works - even how to edit the file yourself. I just did a search for it and it appears to be gone.
Here is some more info on this -- more technical:

But these games should work nice on stock. See the htc sensation which has the same hardware. Many ppl say it runs games much better than evo. Games that I play the most often are mc3, nova3, gta3. They should work nice on evo, as they run ok on single core phones.
