Slow touch response on launchers - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been using galaxy s2 for 6 months now and its a great phone, best android I've used in terms of performance and gaming. I compared the phone with some other phones during these 6 months. One thing i noticed is the delay in touch response when using other launchers. I am a big fan of go launcher and launcher 7. But when I tried them on my friend's xperia neo V, launcher 7 was buttery smooth and on s2 response to touches was a bit late. Same was noticed on a few other high and mid range phones. You may think its a problem with my phone, but I dont think so, when you compare the phones side-by-side, there is some delay which is always noticeable. I am using siyah, using touch-move app, but still I think scrolling on homescreen on launchers should be a little more smoother... Just asking, is there something wrong with my phone or do you experience the same?

There is an app called Touch Move by tegrak, you can lower your touch sensitivity within that app.

Samsung galax ys2 touchability problem

I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s 2 touch screen . I find a lag when i swipe between pages on homescreen not just lag the icons kinda seem vibrating when i do so. But everything is fine when i play games. This has really pissed me off . I had once found a solution similar to my problem in this forum and a solution but that did not help me. I hope you can help me and pray this is not a hardware effect.
I am using the latest ICS. This problem was there when i used its earlier versions. I have tried customs roms like villainrom and miui as well . but the problems persisted.

Go back to ginger bread (MIUI is really great) if you want the best touch sensitivity.. samsung's ics roms have touch sensitivity problems.

That's what I was thinking too actually. But what is the most recent GB MIUI ROM for GSII? Seems like 2.3.30 isn't for this phone...

I have tried using miui and in fact changed to ics from gingerbread because of this problem. with miui the problem was a bit less but still frustrating enough and now i am back to ICS with siyah kernel and also did some settings change from its tweak app. but nthng improved.

Xperia S lags even with 6.1.A.2.45

Hi people!
I want to ask some opinions about te Xperia S lags . The rom 6.1.A.2.45 has improved soo much the speed even in my opinion the XS is always too laggy.
Expecially when search in browser the autocomplete feature cause soo much lags!
In general the phone reactivity is always very bad.
Installing Cyanogenmod 9.1 the things change. very fast and smooth.
So i think: 1)Sony developers are very bad in Android port to Xperia 2) Cyanogenmod team are very good developers
What do you think about it?
Thanks..
cheers.
I was shopping for a new phone for my wife last week and had a play with the Xperia P in the shop. OMG, it ran sooo much faster than my XS and the XS they had (both on GB).

...we must consider and compare them with a clean install... obviously...
other issue of Xperia S in my opinion is the handset free. too low volume!
I'm considering to replace the XS with a Galaxy Nexus

Did you enable the forced gpu rendering?
Sent from my Xperia S using xda premium
check out the time apps need to be fully loaded(will be even slower when gpu rendering is enabled) + keep an eye on any app you open, wait for like 20 minutes and it will disappear out of the RAM so it will literally restart when you launch it again(slow as hell!!!!) multitasking is just screwed on this ics .. cm9 is superior in any circumstances over the stock ics rom although its not as beautiful ..

Gpu rendering is for the ui not the code based stuff so enabling it will make the device faster ie word predictions since the cpu won't render the ui anymore.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Sent from my Xperia S using xda premium
forcing gpu rendering means every event or anything has to go through the GPU. apps accelerated by the gpu will increase their RAM usage, therefore slowing down the system and their startup
tried gpu rendering ... not so much improvment.
on my phone cyanogenmod is so far better in smoothness than stock. Much muc more. Why ?

need help with the cm10 4.1.2

Hi
I have installed the cm10 on my gt p7510 and I have to say i am having a very bad experience
Yeah it was considerably faster but i had some bugs.. stuff that gets to me
1 Volume control is horrible when using a headphone and when listening to music the sound kinda like lag every once in a while
2 when playing games where u use tow hands one to aim and one to walk like shadowgun.. the aim and walking both suddenly stop and u have to pull away ur finger and try again this happens a lot and makes playing games a bit frustrating
I do like the cm10 its faster kinda takes care of the lag I had on the official ICS I don't want to get back to it plzz help
So can anybody tell me if there is a solution for any of these problems or maybe a better build
My most annoying problem would have to be number 2 thnx
I've had the second problem. So you're not the only one. Make sure to keep updating through nightlies.
replay
Good to know that I am not the only one
I just want the devs to know this so they might be able fix it
I already tried the latest build of nightly same problem
I hope the 4.2 wouldnt have such a problem

I really hope this works
And parAndroid I tried one and it crashed in the middle of installing and I had to use odinout get my gt working again
I downloaded it will report back after Iam done
Just fineshd installing did take me a while to figure out how to get the soft keys back
I didn't install gapps cause I didn't want anything interrupting it
Installed shadowgun and vpplayer by titanium backup
Results : same problems but I gotta say its a very nice build lotsa options I would absolutely keep it if it didn't have he problems
But if u still have ur build will u be kind enough to upload it cause they make a different build like every day ur build might be different thnx

You didn't specify the name of the kernel so I'm assuming that you're on the default build that comes with cm10?
How about trying a different kernel? I personally suggest (and use) the a1 kernel as it can be overclocked up to 1.6mhz.
On the stock kernel I was unable to play gta3 because it was too laggy. but when I installed the a1 kernel, and setup a setCPU profile to o/c at 1.6mhz on the "performance" setting while playing gta3, the gameplay was liquid smooth.
So perhaps try that kernel and see if it irons out your issue.

I had no idea u could over clock to 1.6 I thought the limit was 1.4 I will try this definitely
But I don't think it'll work cause the game had no problems on stock ICS or cm9 ICS
But I will try if it solves it I'll report back thnxx
Just flashed it and overclocked to 1.6 GHz
noooooo luck still the same. U have the same tab as I do , did u have the same problem?
Just a quick question will overclocking like damage the CPU should I do it or what
Thnx again for ur concern
update
Update:
I think the problem actually is in the kernel
Heres what i did: I INSTALLED CM9 cause I just had enough with cm10 cause THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SOLUTION
After I installed the cm9 EVERY THING WAS WORKING GREAT even the game THEN I thought TO INSTALL THE KERNEL TO BE ABLE TO overclock TO 1.6GHZ it installed oky ....I didn't overclock and tried the game again and I got the same problem then reinstalled cm9 again and the problem was gone
So I think the problem is with the cm10 kernel..... I don't know maybe iam wrong tell me what do you think
Any way iam gonna stick with the cm9 at least till the 4.2 is out

[Sola]I will Not Install ICS On my my xperia Sola!

Today i flashed ICS 6.1.10 global rom in my sony xperia sola. After installing it i was in big trouble. When Charger or headPhone is Connected touch works ****. Aweful Performance. Everything was laggy. I was really disappointed. So now I have came back to GB 2.3.7. My xperia Runs like a Charm now. No single issue. some people complaining about battery but i have not noticed any fast battery drainage.
One thing that bothers me is that my friend Has a chinese brand mobile 1ghz processor, 512 mb ram. Even that has ICS and it works good. Then Why Sola lags on ICS?
I will come to ICS when All bugs will be fixed. I can not compromise performance.
I will wait till good reviews by users about ICS.
I hope that I have posted this topic in right forum.
Hi, I totally agree with what you said. You should however try the latest ICS, there is a new one after .10 it ends with .54. It is much faster. I would at least try it. There are uploads of that ROM here if you're interested.
CM 9.1 is for you, must give a try.

Poor you.. Lol kidding. Totally disagree. Man, get the newer firmware. That is old one. I have some tips for you. In settings go to development options and checklist force gpu rendering and set background process limit to at most 3 processes. It even better than GB! You will not say that thing if you know how to customize your Android phone.

Mine Chinese phone with 512 MB RAM also is working better than Sony. The thing is that sola manages RAM poorly. However on fxp cm9 150 with zRam set to 26 % I no longer have issues with lags or freeze.
BTW. To the above post. Forcing gpu rendering will cause system to use more RAM, so it's the other way round.

Are you sure? :/. Haha but that's not problem to me cause I set background processes at most 3.Force gpu rendering will makes your phone faster. Also i have more tips that will make your touch sensitive phone more responsive and make scrolling faster. But whatever I tell to this thread will not make OP move to ICS

after limiting background processes to 3? what you meant by that? bro Android is for multitasking. Mostly what we do "Using internet, listening songs, testing and sometime playing games". On GB i am running browser, play store, facebook and sometime messages without disturbing other processes. anyway i will try .54.
On ICS screen colors look aweful. On GB colors are very bright and shining. Seeing angles much more than decent. and on ics everything is ****. Lets try .54..
Which one Should I try? Global or central europe or indian?

Hi bro, nice to see you again. Yes android is for multitasking. But with set at most 3 processes doesn't mean you can't multitasking. You still can use your phone for browsing, listening to music, update status on facebook.. Don't worry about that. It will just makes more free ram especially when you gaming. You also can use Android Assistant from play store to kill some process if you want to gaming by pressing quick boost button(I just use it if I want to play a game). You can set built in task killer using auto memory manager (must be rooted). It's ICS, which takes more RAM than GB.
I agree with that screen colors
