Anyone else notice the Photon 4G has the gingerbread screen off animation? It is pretty slick! Numerous HTC and Samsung devices lack this feature. Another major +1 for Photon

I'm using the agile lockscreen currently, and it is similar where it has the 4 icons you can customize and unlock the phone too different apps but it is a touch laggy compared to true sense and it lacks the nice weather/social/txt/music screen options sense 3.0 brings. I dont mind doing a few work arounds though as this phone trumps the evo 3d I had for 35 days or so prior
What screen off animation are you talking about? I have animations turned on but I'm not sure what you are referring to.

When you hit the power button the screen shuts off like an old tube tv
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
I'm sitting there like a jackass turning on and off the screen and didn't even realize that was an animation I was staring at. Its just so fluent and smooth I didn't think twice. I was thinking you guys were referring to a fade out kind of animation, maybe something even jazzier.
They did a good job, I just accepted it without questioning it and I should know better.
Hehe, I turned off animations. But I do like that old tube look

Yes, I get choppy lag while scrolling through the XDA app, or also on the market. It is annoying.
Figure out which app is causing it and close it. Pulse Is usually what causes mine to do that.

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
Well my iPhone is smoother as well but actually is not the evo only is android in general, even tho I have a 3d and a nexus s the nexus seems to kick as out the 3d lol, anyways here is something you can read that way you understand why android is laggy

Hmm...i didnt expect this from google.
Thats nowaday a crappy way of desinging a OS.
They need to make more improvements.
Makes sense.
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)

Well sir, bad news for you : your gonna be waiting for awhile for ICS. At least officially.
But yes ICS should fix most of the problems. I still wonder if it will ever reach iPhone/WP7 smoothness.
Microsoft did one thing right with WP7: they made sure it ran the same no matter what hardware you were using. Including the unsupported HD2 haha.

I don't know if im just tripping but does the X2 seem choppy when sliding between home screens? Im using Launcher pro i was comparing to an iphone and its a night and day difference when sliding between home-screens. I have a lot of icons in screen the background stays clean but the icons get choppy...it doesn't lag between slides just looks kinda crappy.

I remember back in the day when moto was great my dad had the first gen moto car phone on the 80's where if you used it without the car on it would kill that battery, that thing would get reception anywhere we could be in the middle of the desert here in California 100's of mile from anywhere and we had full signal all the tims. It cost like 10K but it was awesome....I still have it in a box in my garage the provided was Bell South i think...good times

Iv'e had 4 different DX's and now this DX2 and it's my experience that a complete wipe/factory reset is needed every couple of months or these things start to lag. I'm due for a wipe/reset on theis DX2 currently just hate the PITA it is to do it.
Everyone, well most people love this phone except the screen! While its still a great screen it just has some weird things goin on with it that you notice immediately cause your not use to it, though i dont notice it at all anymore.
I wanted to give this phone some credit for the fact that i keep the brightness OFF and can still easily see even in the sunlight! That's a very first for me! And i LOVE it for battery reasons.

The screen definitely isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Coming from an EVO 4G, the screen is definitely an improvement.
Although some would argue the Epic Touch 4G screen is superior, and it is in some ways, the over saturated colors on it are more off-putting to me than the Photon's.
i dont mind/care about pentile so thats a non-issue.. however i miss the bright vibrant colors of a samoled.. its one of the reason why the razr is possibly my fav phone on the market
p.s. to anyone who thinks we have nothing going on.. go check them out.. they dont have a stock sbf, no unlock, no roms, no kernels, no cwm, no way to restore back to anything.... oh and they have a leaked ota that has now locked a lot of people onto it which means without a way to write crap they CANNOT get future otas....
lol imagine you were so eager for the first bug fix ota that due to rushing/leaks it prevented you from being able to get the ics ota
I dont mind about the pentile either, i beARLy ever notice it, i mean i did at first but even then i was like.. still very good screen for a phone and never bothered me

I personally like the Pentile - accurate colors, bright and good outdoors. I've tried really hard, but my eyes just do not see the screen door effect on (at least) my particular device.
And - I was very prepared to hate it when I first walked in the store, after reading reviews
The Sammy screens get lots of mention because they have overly-saturated colors (similar to the effect you get when you turn a digital camera to its "Vivid" setting). And lots of people like artifical over-saturation..... As an amateur photog, I prefer accurate color rendition.

Exactly! Ive even read some reviews saying its slightly better than the amoled screen and i got a widget that would actually turn the brightness all the way down (cause stock doesnt as joker mentioned) and i can still see it perfectly with the sunlight facing it! I like the pentile screen all around, on hd games/movies it performs flawlessly. As you said, almost perfect colors.

Welcome home my friend...to the house of one of the most underrated android superphone
Yeah, its super hard to press power and home. Especially when my hand is asleep. Geez.
So I have noticed this with all of the roms I have flashed (can't remember if it happened with stock sense) but when my phone is asleep and I press the power button, the capacitive buttons turn on right away, yet the screen turns on around 2 seconds later. It's just annoying since my GF's Dinc 2 turns on instantly as well as my roommates DROID razr. Is this a Rezound thing or is my device just different? And if it's a Rezound thing is there any way to fix it, I have tried raising the minimum clock speed to over 1Ghz and still the lag persisted.

I haven't played with aosp, but the Bamf kernel has a quick screen on on sense 4, and 3.6. I don't know if it works on the newer builds of aokp, or cm9.

lol sorry that i point out when you do your little talking out of your ass for "facts" thing.
I have this issue happen occasionally with stock ICS (both the OTA and Global Leak), but only when it is very bright out (mid-day, sunny, cloud free) and the phone is in my pocket... pull it out in the sunlight and press the power button and it takes 15 seconds for the screen to "crank up", it's just like the brightness slider is being moved very slowly from off to where it needs to be. And it only does this when Automatic Brightness is enabled, if it is turned off and I am set at specific value, it never does it. Guess I just took it as a annoyance rather than a bug since it doesn't happen often for me.
