I'd expect it to be a little slower with the different processor. Maybe you should give it time to settle in and build caches? I'd expect it pan out after time.

Mine gets a little hot under heavy use, but I've not experienced any slowness.
The snapdragon s3 processor in the note might not benchmark as high as the exynos, but in terms of usability you shouldn't be able to notice a difference. In fact, there have been several reviews with side by side comparions of the ATT note and Intl. version, and some folks are even reporting that the ATT note is snappier feeling.
Lag? I haven't seen any at all... and heat? Are you tethering or downloading large files?

I had 2 different Skyrockets. The first was awesome. The second one got hot and had fast battery discharge. I took it back and they gave me a new one and all was great again. Not sure what the problem was but pretty much the same phone as these. Just fyi

I am running mine at both CPU and GPU overclock with 1.83GHz on the CPU(s) and not seeing additional heat generation. Perhaps you got a unit with an issue?
My skyrocket running 54mhz slower generates more heat than this (presumably due to less surface area to dissipate heat) - there may be a heat spreader internally that isn't seated properly causing heat build up in your unit?
Coming from the Skyrocket my new Note has some lag that I had never experienced before as well.
That being said, I don't believe it's the phone.
I uploaded a short video showing the lag that I get while using the twitter application, but then when using Tweetdeck you have essentially none, it scrolls like butter.
I've also experience some of the same lag like the one on the twitter app in the Gmail app as well.
It's not anything that I can't overcome, just slightly annoying.. Overall though this phone is absolutely KILLING my Skyrocket in every other facet.

No issue with lag or heat on mine. Even when tethering it only gets a little warm on the back.

I've used it on my SGSII, Skyrocket, Infuse, HTC Vivid.. none of them had that issue. I could be wrong, but I think it might have to do with it trying to force into the Note's screen resolution. Again, I don't necessarily think it's the Note's FAULT per se, but it hasn't done it on any other phone.

It is one of the biggest myths that ICS adds HW acceleration to the UI that GB lacks. Here is the truth straight from the horse's mouth:
https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/2FXDCz8x93s
Bottom line is Both GB and ICS have HW accelerated graphics for animated windows. What ICS adds is a check box to force HW acceleration within the windows, but checking that box breaks applications, and also adds extra overhead that is unnecessary. ICS overall is a smoother running UI with more polish than GB, but it's not because of the reason you believe.
Whats is the best rom , when ics Att leak come out i install and was too slowwwwww...so i went back for GB , So right now there is any good quick rom and nice looking ???
Battery is the biggest upside. Ics has a ton of cool little things that make it worth it, but the biggest advantage is battery. I am just over 15 hours of battery usage today and just got to 15%. On gb I was lucky to get 10 hours total usage.

Thought ICS was optimized for dual core as well?
I personally think the voice to text interface is a lot better. For example, when I'm texting on ICS using voice, the microphone box doesn't just disappear and start "working" to figure out what you had said. It translates your speech to text in real time and you can actually pause to think without having to hit the mic button again. And you don't even have to hit "Done," you can just hit Send and the keyboard minimizes to show the whole chat again. To top it off ICS allows you to select words or phrases and correct them if Google got it wrong.
I didn't realize how much better this all was until about an hour ago. Last night I switched back to GB because on the leaks half the time my text wouldn't go through and I wouldn't realize it, or I just couldn't get them to send. Can't wait for the full stock version to release

I have used it for fun for a while, but it gets old quite fast.
It's not as pragmatic, especially when the phone is in landscape mode or in low lighting situations.
I love ICS for multiple reasons. Chrome browser for one, smoother more polished graphics and interface as well. Going from GB to ICS on my atrix and HP touchpad...then back to GB on my note really made me appreciate ICS.

I've been using it since I upgraded to ICS, and my dad got on me about not actually locking my phone. In my opinion, it's just something new and fun, not necessarily better than the other unlock methods. In my experience, it has a negligible effect on battery life, and I unlock my phone probably a hundred times a day or so. I still see roughly the same battery life as before I was using it, so it's at least insignificant enough for me to not be able to tell.
Like somebody else said, it can be a little less practical, but I only notice it being less practical than the pattern, and only when in bad lighting, as then it doesn't work and forces you to a secondary unlock, either pattern or code. When you're in good lighting, however, it can be the fastest method to unlock. So in my eyes, it's basically a wash.
Also, I get the random, "The f*ck did your phone just do?! Does it recognize your face? That's sweet!" from anybody who hasn't seen it before. This also leads me to believe that people like looking at your passwords, so in that sense, face unlock is awesome because nobody can really steal your password. Unless of course you have an identical twin or a dedicated friend that carries a picture of you around. Or they cut your face off Hannibal Lecter style. Haha.

Hey all!! Recently purchased this wonderful phone, and am loving it. One thing that kind of bothers me is the performance. Certain games that I run on my OG Evo are crap, but on the new LTE, it's great. HOWEVER, it's not as great as I thought it would be. An example would be "Blood and Glory." My buddy has a SG2, and it's pretty smooth on that, but on my LTE, it doesn't seem as smooth, and gets choppy sometimes. Is it because Sense is bogging the system down?
Am I the only one with this problem? Or am I just being overly critical?
I'm rooted, and running Flex's Stock Rom + Ultimate dual cpu mod.
Any input would be much appreciated, because this is bothering me!
I would guess it's either a software fix they'll do soon or Sense, it seems to take a lot of processes/RAM, so it could be a culprit. Not sure, try a more barebones one and see how well it works compared. Could always nandroid back easily.

I think you're just paranoid...
Everyone that is a smarphone owner is always hypercritical of their new device when they first get it. I still have my OG Epic and occasionally play with ROMs with it because of the Hardware keyboard+gamergrip, and i realize how much smoother the EvoLTE is compared to a 2 year old device. Yes there are some times where i have many apps running and hit menu but sense has to restart, but all in all, it's a helluva lot faster phone than any device on the Sprint market as of now.
Give it some time and let the Devs do their thing. SG2 has been out for quite longer than the EvoLTE; they have many more optimizations and tweaks than we do.
I compared Tiny Tower on my Epic Touch to the EVO LTE and i think the Epic Touch is smoother.
But since they are different manufactures, different resolutions and densities its not a fair comparison. I just know in past devices when im comparing stuff, games seem to flow better on Sammy devices.
Overall im still happy with my EVO LTE. Cant wait for LTE to go live where im at.
No you are definitely not paranoid. The phone does lag a bit. I've noticed this after I use many apps or if I don't restart the phone for some time. I've tried a couple of different roms like Fresh, Viper and Charmeleon and they all have some UI lag after a while...I think we just have to wait for HTC to release an update for sense.
It's not a hardware issue. The app simply isn't optimized for our software. It's an issue for the app dev of a given app to figure out.
This phone handles 1080p content np, nova 3 without issue, and I have yet to feel it be anything but fast with apps/interface

This was one of my main reason with this phone right out the box. At first I thought of rooting right away and hoping the custom rom would have a much better handling to this UI lag but your post stated the oppisite.
Man I really love this phone but lag such as multitasking, games like Temple Run, and the ability to not play HD (720p or 1080p) directly from the browser in desktop mode is very frustrating to ME. I'm hoping a lot of this has to do with stinking Sense UI and not the S4 itself. If the S4 itself to blame then the Samsung GS3 will probably won't be silky smooth either right out the box.

Nah ah, try switching to 720p or 1080p on youtube video "DIRECTLY" from you browser (not youtube app) in desktop mode, then come back to me. Again, I don't know if it's this phone or the S4 inside this phone that struggling, cause that's the case the Samsung GS3 US variant won't be good either due to the same S4 being used.
I haven't noticed any lag but what does irritate me is the Damn multitasking. What's the point of opening more than 1 tab when 2 sec later you have to reload the whole tab all over again. I don't see how HTC dropped the ball on that one when the OG and 3D handled multitasking so perfectly

Hmm I have no real lag issues but I also don't use many apps at all but the performance is solid just sense once again Boggs it down I think once the dev scene picks up many of these issues will go away I was almost convinced to get the s3 us ver but I love the look of this phone ..

Hi all, I am a member here coming from an AT&T Galaxy S3. I just ordered a Galaxy Note an hour ago and wanted to know some hands on user experiences? I have looked at youtube videos and they just don't seem to do the trick. I would like to know if they are really smooth and if they have good functionality, battery life, and if the development is good?
With the GSM SIII's losing IMEI's left and right, and all the bugs already, I am wondering how good the note really is.
I am not really looking for a 'persuasion' opinion because I will have both devices here before too long when the note gets here. I just want to know everyones experience and if the phone is laggy or anything, or any known bugs.
Any help is greatly appreciated and I will thank all members that give me some feedback.
Thanks!
A Note in tablet mode is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
OCing can take care of lagging which there is a bit of. S3 apps can be put on the note, so the same functionality is there. S-Pen makes working on RDP/VNC,etc really easy (IT guy).
The only thing i wish the Note had was the LED notification like on the S3.
Hotwires CM10 has blinking LED notifications built in, which takes care of my LED needs.
to my understanding there isn't an LED light though, which with my SIII it is real buggy anyways... As long as it runs smooth and is nice and functional I think I will enjoy it.
How easy is it to root? Any IMEI losing issues like with the S3?
Also, Battery life?
As long as it is a solid phone I think I may choose this over the SIII and keep the SIII as a backup. :/
Thanked already!

How bad is the lag? I am really worried about that.
and rooting? Is it easy for this device? I have rooted many devices, but some are real easy to brick compared to others.
rooting is a cake walk.
Lag is not an issue IMO with most roms I have tried and with CM9 it's been smooth as glass.

I never had much lag with stock, but there was some. Since I went to CM9, the Note has been just about perfect. There are a few issues I have with functionality (I like the screen to light up so I can read incoming sms with the notification, for instance), but overall, I'm very happy with my Note. I see no reason I'll be ditching it before my contract is up, and then it'll just be for the new, shiny hardware Samsung drops that year.

Multitasking is going to be a lot worse because there is much less ram in the note. Even on stock ICS there is not much lag.
My best speed (anti-lag) rom has been gingerbread. and I know everybody scoffs at it, but to be honest, once the device is rooted, and the stock rom is bebloated, it runs perfect.
And without any voltage changes or overclock either.
If you want the note to snap on screen transitions, just run a rooted stripped down GB stock rom, load up the spare parts plus app, and set windows and screen animations to off, and you'll love it...IMHO ( and for the extra speed, run zeam launcher with the 3 home screens setup)
Dont get me wrong...ICS has it's merits. but for my particular device, it's either a stripped GB rom, or the official stripped down UCLE2 rom that I prefer....
Hope this helped you a little bit.....g
My brother had an s3 and I have a note, both phones are awesome when I use both I can't really tell a difference in speed. I do like the notes screen size more it doesn't bother me.

I guess I just don't want a sluggish device and I want the screen to look crisp. Is the root method just odin like usual?
Also, I know my GSIII has an amazing screen. Does the note have a comparable screen as far as crispness?
The display on the Note is beautiful. Big bright and sharp. Even at half brightness it looks awesome.
I had pretty bad lag with the stock TELUS GB ROM. All other ROMs have been much faster including the stock ATT GB ROM. Not sure why. Paranoid Android and CM9 ROMs are silky smooth. King Kang ROM too.
IMO it comes down to which screen size you prefer and which one feels better in your hand.
I'm a confessed flashaholic, and came from the Galaxy Nexus, which I ran many, many different rom/kernel variations. I love my note. After rooting(simple) and removing bloat, I ran stock gb for a long time, it just worked really well. Functionality is good, screen is excellent, development is increasing all the time, hardware is good. I personally have zero issues with the phone, only issues I have are from my insistence on running custom roms. If the size is not an issue, I recommend it 100%.
I have big hands so I think size won't be a problem... Jesus this thread is getting weird... lol.
But for real, I want the bigger phone. I think as long as I can text great and surf the web and check facebook and XDA then I should be good.

Hello guys a question about the performance of the phone
Is there any FRAMEDROP or STUTTERING when moving around the UI especialliy when OPENING and CLOSING APPS if you could can, can you close and open google maps and tell me if it lag or fps drop?
Being extremely OCD about android lag as i have return and sold various device such as the tab 10.1, NOTE 1, and the nexus 10 because the lagginess and stuttering when opening apps drove me CRAZY.
Now pardon me if i sound rude but can your eyes notice the difference between 30 fps and 60fps? I think a lot of people claiming that their device has no LAG simply cannot TELL what LAG even is and their eyes are untrained therefore wrongfully stating that their device is “smooth” all the time.
I do see lag in maps. No device is perfect, even my iphone 5 chugged sometimes.

Oh yea INSIDE of maps is fine idc about that im talking about when OPENING and CLOSING the map app.
There is pretty significant lag throughout the UI. The Nexus 4 w/ the same specs, minus Sense UI and the 1080p screen, is much smoother. The biggest issue for me in day to day use is scrolling left and right through GTalk sessions. It lags BAD. But that's the only thing that really bothers me at this point in my day to day use.
But the screen makes up for it.
Opening and closing apps is pretty darn smooth, especially once the apps are cached in the ram.
I dont notice any lag. But I use Nova Launcher prime and not Sense.
Very fast launcher.

Honestly I haven't seen this at all. Might be a device per device issue. I have no lag that I can tell. It's really smooth and responsive. Then again I've never used a Nexus 4 so maybe it's smoother. I still wouldn't use the word lag.
This topic would be again subjective just like "Hows the battery"
However, I have been an owner of these devices in past 3 months -
iPhone 5, iPad Mini, Xperia V, One X+, Galaxy S3, Note 2, Butterfly
A lag will almost always be present in all devices at some time or the other. However, I see where you are coming from. So to answer your question, NO, there is no lag.
I am using Virtuous ROM (even Stock ROM for the matter) with Power Saving On (for CPU) and the only times I have seen lag -
1. After reboot when you go one homescreen to another the widget needs to reload data atleast once.
2. When entering app tray after reboot or app install, it refreshes the app list.
In normal use and opening/closing apps, there is no lag and YES, I can differentiate between 30/60 fps. Example at hand, try scrolling contacts/tones in Whatsapp on a S3 and Butterfly/DNA

Thank you for this man really appreciate it, People on the nexus 10 forum was like NO NO LAG AT ALL!!! Lo and behold i bought it and about to return it after a week So you think the xperia z would be a pretty good bet for a lagless experience? Considering the hardware is similar.
Sense 4+ does have lag regardless what people say. It is there throughout phone UI. Be it settings, desktop or whatever.
However there is no unusual delay in opening or closing apps. And general performance is great in apps.
But if you are coming from Nexus 4, or Note 2, yeah this phone lacks that buttery smooth feel by default.
However with De-sensed Viper with LK kernel and Nova Launcher prime with fast animation = as close as it gets to Nexus 4 UI experience. It is significantly smoother to use. AOSP contacts is blazing fast as it should be.
Note 2 is buttery smooth ? ... Simple test ... Scroll a long list of items like ringtones on both Samsung phones and HTC side by side ... Let me know how it goes (actually don't since I have already played with them and know the answer)

Not on my end. Once again its probably a perception thing. Speaking for everyone isn't a good idea

Nope .. not perception ... Samsung has there own interpretation of project butter since there exynos code is not open source which is no where near what it should be ... I am not saying HTC is perfect, but its better butter .. lol

Woops... I meant to respond to a different post. I meant no lag on the DNA lol

You can take my opinion with a grain of salt if you want to, but I am probably in the top tier of ocd people when it comes to ui lag or slowness. I simply won't put up with it.
I owned the DNA and now the Note 2. Don't let anyone here fool you, the DNA is quite sluggish in homescreen scrolling. To the point that it was one of the main reasons that I got rid of the phone.
There isn't really a ton of lag, although there is a little bit. But HTC for some reason chose to slow down the animations so the scrolling feels heavy. I absolutely hated it.
My personal opinion and conclusion is that they did it to mask how heavy Sense is. Because I had a Rezound and the animations on that phone were much faster but it was a complete lag and stutter fest.
And I always laugh at the people who brush it under the rug and just say to run Nova and you will be fine. If you are going to do that, why not buy a phone with better battery life and expandable storage? Because Nova will make any current gen android device run like butter. I personally buy a phone for the stock launcher and software that it has.
Either way, good luck with your decision!

For some reason unknown to me and I think many devs Samsung doesnt utilize hardware rendering to the fullest and ends up with jerkiness in all apps ... Htc does and its very much apparent when scrolling in even 3rd party apps ... I think in the end you need to play with both phones for few minutes to see the difference and make a decision

Ditto for any Android device of the current gen or even last gen for that matter. What does Nova have to do with this phone specifically or the question that the OP is asking??

Sigh.
I'm actually experiencing lag when moving around on a web page sometimes. Even texting with HTC keyboard. However, I downloaded the 2.2 keyboard and its better... Seems like screen accuracy is a little off sometimes too. Anyone experiencing this? With or without power saver off? Thanks.
99.9% of the time it's flawless. My iPhone 5 lags too.
So does my $2799 retina MBP.
It's fine if your One stutters every once in awhile. Relax. It's flawless most of the time. Blame every OS because they all do it occasionally.
And use the Google AOSP keyboard that was released yesterday. Bliss.
Only lag I've gotten period on this phone is when messing around with the HTC browser haha.
it`s necessary
I usually run on energy save mode. I have very little lag even with things running in that mode.
Everything is working like it should here, gotta understand this is a mobile device. There will be some issues, nothing to be alarmed about.
This is an amazing phone, I love how fluid mine is but sadly I have to return mine in for an exchange that cost $50 for restock fee cuz mine caught a noticeable scratch idk how but this will be the first time I get a screen protector

I notice lag once in a blue moon
but I am running a custom rom so I blame it on that lol

Coming from a Nexus 4 running ParanoidAndroid and Franco's kernel, the HTC One running stock ROM is a lag-fest!!!! I often have to wait a good second or two after touch the icon for the app to appear, and simple games like Bejeweled Blitz and Candy Crush Saga took forever to load. Temple Run 2 would occasionally stutter.
I was baffled!!! On paper this phone is supposed to be faster than the Nexus 4 -- could the 1080p display cause that much of a hit in performance? I even installed the Bulletproof to try improve things but only the battery life gets better.
Solution: I flashed Android Revolution HD 10.2 ---> the phone runs smoothly like butter now!
If you do that, you lose WiFi calling, correct?

I think it was something with 4.1.2. I used an app called Skout on the stock rom that came with the phone and the lag was unbearable, so much so i was going to return the phone, but now i have a dent in it so i'm stuck with it lol. I installed the 4.2.2 roms and the performance is way better, not Nexus 4 smooth, but definitely an improvement. I cannot wait until the GE HTC One is released and we have a solid stock Android rom that is supported, i don't mind stock, only bad thing is no remote control app and other things. I really hope 4.3 brings even more performance to Android, because these phones are way to powerful to have "noticeable" lag.

Unfortunately yes... I live in Seattle and T-Mobile's coverage here is rock-solid so I've never found myself needing that feature. It seems you just have to pick your poison.
But honestly, I'd pick great performance over Wifi calling anytime -- you'd always have to put up with constant mediocre performance in exchange for those occasions when you're in areas with spotty cell signal,
If I put international htc rom on my tmobile version, is the only thing I lose wifi calling?

Well technically you will also lose all of the T-Mobile crapwares but these can be reinstalled easily from the Play Store. The only thing that you can't get back is the Wifi Calling.
No lag, best android that I have
Had a Galaxy Note 2 which had 0 lag and "down graded" to a Galaxy S 4 which stutters way to often. I returned the Galaxy S 4 today and picked up a HTC One because I heard they fixed the back button which they did and it feels flawless compared to the Galaxy S 4. I prefer running on stock 99.9% of the time but on the Galaxy S 4 I was required to run the Google Edition rom to actually have a good experience with the phone.
So far with the first hour of owning the HTC One I learned the blink feed is actually useful because I rarely watch the news or read the paper. I can have all the news I want appear right in front of me.

Had a great experience so far using the elementalx kernel available in the international htc one forums.
Through my own expirience, Ive had lag on all Android Platform phones, but on the HTC One its usually flawless but there is like 1% of the time where the phone would choke a bit and have occasional lag.
