Must point out is strange that nobody complains about ...
Slow
lags and stuck when return to launcher - each time coming out of something heavy ,everything in SLOW MOTION ..i can see the icons and WIDGETS back one by one....(even with omega 5,6,7,8)
Sudden departures from heavy games
Where are the 4 cores??
its not bother anyone that we bought the BEST SMART STRONG phone .. IPHONE BREAKER ...
and its working like "unfinished product"...
maybe its all abouy the launcher??? i dont know..im worked with servel launchers...everything seems to be that same...
maybe tommorow i'll find ROM that will fix all of it....for now...I'm really disappointed...
Take it back you have a defective phone!

Alot ALOT of people will atest that this phone is not the lagging mess you make it out to be. i see NO lag at all. even out of the box when using certain launchers. TSF shell is a ZERO lag launcher no matter what. but its 15 bucks
other than that other roms may help your issue, but it is not a dissapointing phone at all in my OP
Agree one or the other is defective .

sorry but those felling are after i saw the same problems in couple of friends phones...

I'm silent about all these problems because I don't have any. Phone is like butter, it's a wonderful user experience and the best phone I've ever had. A real keeper, might even keep a phone for a year this time.
I'm not disputing your issues but you chose a terrible thread title. 99% of owners are happy just like me that's why we are "silent".

I know you're exaggerating the problems a bit, but I can see some of the problems you experience. There are instances where it does lag on touch response and I don't see it too often, but it does happen.
Redraw is an issue that's for sure. I've updated to LFB and I still see the redraw but not as often.
I'm running stock on the current LFB firmware and I haven't rooted the phone. I don't install alot of crap on my phone either.
I love the phone regardless; the few minor problems don't deter from the overall experience. It's generally smooth I have to say.
Also, the issues probably have to do with software optimization both with Samsung's firmware and apps from the Play Store. I'm sure as Samsung pushes more updates out, the phone will get smoother and most of the initial problems people experience will be ironed out. This goes the same for Apps in the Play Store. S3 will be the most supported phone so developers will optimize all their apps to run smoother with the S3.
Patience.
There are some problems as the launcher redraws and some lag from time to time, but I'm coming from the HTC Desire. To get the experience you get on the S3 on the Desire you have to tweak the crap out of it and it won't even get close to the S3. It's a wonderful phone, you are either overreacting or your phone is defect.
There are rare Launcher redraws (and it is happening less on LFB). I don't know how this can be "full of problems". It happens very ocasionally and the redraw is very fast and then the phone is buttery smooth again.
Im having a slight lag sometimes after leaving shadowgun or a different heavy game such as nova 3 but after few seconds, everything goes back to normal. Nothing major to complain about.
I guess you might have a faulty phone so take it back for inspection and best of luck.

I think you're overreacting. Lag? No .Maybe stutter but I don't experience that at all unless I have a bunch of apps install while i m using the phone Plus being on checkrom I have yet to have the redraw issue. You need to compare your S3 to the competition to see how butterry smooth that phone is. As far as home button lag, just disable s voice and it will be gone.

Not from Brazil, I guarantee.
As far as the hardware goes, my phone is flawless, like a top grade diamond!
Perhaps you have some buggy widget on your home screen, that is making the home screen app misbehave, and - not being a developer thus not knowing how everything interconnects - starts blaming the device.
You sound like those car owners that blame the manufacturer because the car run out of fuel or because they simply can't drive.
If you think the device is such a mess (that you apparently caused, because you already tried non-stock ROMs on it), just return it.
Maybe Android is not for you... try an iPhone instead.

I can certainly see the bad app/rouge widget messing with your screens.
i had a battery widget on my galaxy Note right before i got the S3 and it would make EVERY Launcher Lag when i had it sitting on my home screen.
was just by chance that i forgot to add it back after installing a new Rom and noticed all the lag/stutter was Gone. so it happens man just check it out, i hope its something as simple as just a bad app/widget.
Buy iPhone and no problems for you if you dhont like Sgs3.

I am the pickiest guy in the world. I went from GS2(perfect except battery life), iPhone 4s(Bluetooth, wifi, had to reset, everybody and their grandma has the same phone as me), Xperia S(too thick for pockets, old CPU, yellow screen, USB port flap and placement), and HTC One X(stutter and just about everything).
No problems. This phone is amazing. Believe me, I am super vocal about any little problem myself.
IThe S3 was the best compromise for me.
The One X hasnt got SdCard, One S the same + unswapable batteries.
Galaxy nexus also hasnt got SdCard so i went to the S3
I dont like Touchwiz and Samsung Crap, this is the reason I run a custom firmware.
The Phone is blazingly fast.
Regards.
maybe im overreacting ....BUT...on iphone i'd never had those lag problems..never got kicked in the middle of a game or application...
i can't fell the monster CPU it had...
just formatted the phone and installed PARANOID rom...i will try to work few days without installing alot of applications....

Currently I have a Desire HD and overall Im very happy with it. However, whenever its updating itself ie weather, friend stream etc, in the background, there is noticeable lag in using the phone.
My question is, does this also happen with the SGS2? Im contemplating buying it if this phone has no such issue which my DHD does as its the only real blemish on a very good phone.
I know there are differences with sense vs touch wiz but Im sure there are equivalent widgets etc which also update in the background.
cheers
Probably some Femto or Atto lag.

Well maybe I was a bit harsh is describing the lag, it's more like Yocto lag.
i had some kind of lag in my old DHD, Was annoying tbh even flashing many roms it just didnt seem right so i moved on to better things (iphone4) and didnt look bk lol. i hope the SGS2 doesnt, from reveiws and people on here that have them it seems to work great!

Hopefully when you receive your new SGS2 you can report back on whether you encountered the same sort of lag as you noticed on your DHD . I only noticed the lag whenever I saw the little update icon appear in the top row of icons.
I'm writing from my SGS2. There is NO lag on this phone. Too fast, too furious dual core at 1.2ghz.what do you expect.the hardware is ahead of the software. NO lag even under heavy duty.

Haha, fair enough. However, it was just that looking at your sig it seemed you hadnt yet received your SGS2 and also considering you used to have a DHD such as I, I was hoping for your personal opinion.
I had gathered from many a post that it is blazingly fast, but just saying its fast is very subjective.
Anyways, so far it looks like its a winner and Im gonna need to buy one!
Ok I got my Gnote yesterday at BestBuy(upgraded from my skyrocket). When I got home to play with it it seemed to drag a$$ and was pretty choppy, almost like it was pushing it limits on memory or something. I restarted the phone but no help. Next I downloaded golauncher thinking it would help but no luck.
I’ve also noticed that whenever I select wallpaper it zooms all the way in on the pic (which looks like crap) and it doesn’t scroll. I’ve tried everything. Help me XDA
I hope there’s a simple fix for all these issues my phone is having. My skyrocket was flawless. Hell my infuse don’t seem too bad now.
Video quality isn’t that great either. What gives Samsung?????
I was able to get better wallpaper using zedge on the market. It doesnt zoom in like selecting from folder.

Actually read other reviews before inferring that all notes have performance comparable to yours - mine is hardcore fast. No lag, no stutters, no nothing but performance. Download some appstore apps to monitor background processes and see if there is a rogue something running. That, or you may have a faulty device.
Coming from an Atrix, SGS2, Skyrocket, Droid Razr, and International Galaxy Note this is the smoothest phone I've ever owned. Only issue I have is getting calendar to sync with Google calendars.

Mine is running the same way. Checking memory usage it is definitely pushing its limits. I'm at 557mb right now. Hoping it's just this rom and when we have development it'll improve.

Actually my note is kinda "laggy, sluggish, choppy" as well. I'm kind of a sad man right now, I still LOVE this thing but it's performance is not all that great at the moment for me.
Not entirely sure why either...I tried a few launcher none make it better and some make it worse.

Same here. very dissapointed. Its slower than my infuse, but then my infuse is running a custom rom.
Worst example by far is the market. load it up and scroll up and down, soooo choppy and laggy. starting to think I might have made a mistake not getting the international. I'm really surprized.
I'm sure once I overclock it and toss launcher pro on it I will be happier, I'm just really surprized that I have to do that.

Really strange. I am completely stock right now with all the bloat still installed, microbes live wallpaper, and I just tried this in the market and get no lag whatsoever.
I went to the AT&T store and the Note was laggy. I killed background tasks, eliminated widgets, removed bloatware... nothing
I really like the screen size + google maps navigation but I'm not good at rooting so I've gotta see if this lag stuff continues on stock before taking the plunge.
Hmm :/ I'll take a video of it tomorrow. All power saving options are off, nothing much running in the background. Maybe I should take it into an ATT store and compare it side by side to the ones on display.
I'm glad most others aren't having this problem, that means its something that can get fixed or replaced rather than just being an underpowered processor for the resolution of the screen.
Its a new device with a new processor... Its funny to me how much people are seriously complaining and stressing about "lag". You guys do know the international one had a bunch of "lag" when it came out right? Its a new device that will see updates to its system that help improve UI. **** if you arent willing to get your hands dirty and root/freeze apps/rom the thing, what are you doing on a developers site?? Its not the phones problem, its your unreasonable expectations. Ask international note owners from day 1 if they had "lag". How many *****y My PHONE IS LAGGING threads do we need? If you hate it and arent willing to go through the process of improving it yourself, return it and wait a few months.
Oh and have a nice day

^Somebody needs to get laid STAT!
I'm absolutely willing to do all of that, and I will, but going from a captivate, to an infuse, to this, and having it be the slowest out of the box when the other two were single core just strikes me as not right. And with others stating that they don't have this issue, makes me think there must be something going on here. Before I mask the problem with the OC kernel and a new launcher I'd rather know that there isn't something wrong with my specific note.
Glad the lag doesn't bother you

Hi,
Is anyone else experiencing this, or does anyone have a solution?
For some reason i'm not expereincing the full thrust of performance the Galaxy S3 has to offer.
The home screens 'jolt' when moving left to right, but the more annoying thing is that widgets (like the weather etc) KEEP disappearing and reloading (doesnt take long to reload, fine, but still! Galaxy S2 didnt do this!)
This was all noticiable in the 'TouchWiz' Launcher, so i thought i would try another launcher... Nope, same thing!! Apex, Launcher Pro, GO Launcher etc..
Also, some apps crash, more than the occasional crash you would experience on the S2.
It also freezes up on my for about 10 seconds before reloading the widgets/icons...
I've gone down SO many routes. Its definetly not that theres too much running, because i find myself closing apps through task manager ALL the time, more than i should need to ...But even with NO apps running, same thing
I just dont get, does anyone have a solution or could shed some light on WHY this is happening? I've hit a brick wall for trying to stop this and am hoping that its not just a 'dodgy device'!
Thank you to whoever responds...
Def sounds like a dud there. Try going into Apex launcher and tick the setting to keep the launcher in ram. Ive heard loads of problems about TW reloading itself after running things like the web browser and gaming :/

Networks do not matter with custom ROMs, as long as you are flashing a ROM for the right phone i.e. the international version, and not the north american version. (which you don't need to worry about yet because it's not out yet)
Check if you have Power Saving turned off. It throttles the CPU making scrolling etc noticeably slower.
Mine loads the weather widget coming out of S-Voice. But other than that never misses a beat. Smooth even when using 90% of its ram.
Did a test of its speed and its above the Asus prime easy, so sounds like you have an issue.

Of tjis is the case and i find out i'm gonna spend any ounce of energy i have getting it replaced. The worst thibg is the browser cant handle videos on youtube. Performance is pathetic and weirdest tthibg i didnt have flipboard pre loaded on my gs3. Even now im on my gs3 and the browser wont let me fix "thing" that i wrote in the previous sentence. Totally shud have gotten htc one x
you all can flash latest version which should help with launcher redraw ... and after that do a full hard reset: *2767*3855#

The thing is that a big company that is trying to resemble other competitors cant release a product that will act that way and call it their flag ship.... Most of the owners wont twik it. the phone its a big draw back for me and disappointment... Really miss my s2 some times. Its one thing to pile new features wether they work or not and make the product worse than its predecessor. Big big disappointment. Happy with the screen, battery and looks though will wait for a proper Rom or Google clean products that are to come.

Your S2 has had a years worth of development and optimization. I bet you'll say the same about your S3 when we're all using the S4.
I completely agree with the guy. My most common activity on my phone is browsing whilst listening to music, and this phone just can't hack it. Waaaay too regular cut outs, I'm pissed off.
Remove all bloatware and corresponding background services, get a good kernel (Franco r5 is great), you'll find phone is much better, in a few months, it will have moved on loads and will be so much better

Yall are the odd ones out then. my phone was actually VERY VERY good at multi tasking out of the box. i could surf the web, play my music, and watch a movie with super video....and never get redraws, or hickups, leave apps open and keep going......i could not get it to do any lagging unless you speaking of the micro stutter in home screens. which is gone now with a custom rom and a few misc things here and there.
yall seem to keep wanting to blame it on the phone.....i dont quite understand this.
Hi there. I am looking at upgrading my Google Nexus one. I have been looking at the XPS and also the SGS3. I dont want a comparision of the 2, but does anybody regret buying their SGS3? I want to buy one, but I am not a fan of Samsungs UI for one, but then again I am basing that from pictures/videos I have seen of Samsung phones.
Thanks for all the info you can give
regret ?

I did at first cause I upgraded from the SGS2 and coming from something with loads of great roms to something where there was nothing was kind of disappointing but at the start the SGS2 had no roms.
But in each and every way this phone is better after looking back at my old phone.
So its well worth it.
Definitely Not. This phone is a beast.

I did at first cause I upgraded from the SGS2 and coming from something with loads of great roms to something where there was nothing was kind of disappointing but at the start the SGS2 had no roms.
But in each and every way this phone is better after looking back at my old phone.
So its well worth it.

I think a lot of people don't realise the full potential of the S3 I'm learning something new everyday about it. No regrets at all.

Hi there. I am looking at upgrading my Google Nexus one. I have been looking at the XPS and also the SGS3. I dont want a comparision of the 2, but does anybody regret buying their SGS3? I want to buy one, but I am not a fan of Samsungs UI for one, but then again I am basing that from pictures/videos I have seen of Samsung phones.
Thanks for all the info you can give

Not at all. Loving it.
Everyone keeps talking about how ugly the UI is but it's actually really functional and has a lot of features that I am not willing to lose by using another UI!
But you are coming from stock ICS so you may find the transition harder..
As my last phone was an HTC Desire which I was more than happy with (the only real reason why I bought a new phone was because I had broken the screen, though it is still usable), and as the S III addresses everything that displeased me about that phone, plus having a lot of new interesting features like NFC and USB OTG, I do not regret buying it for a second. As with any phone there are a few things that I dislike, but none of them are deal breakers. At first I didn't like the UI as much as I liked stock ICS, but it's easy to get used to and it actually has a lot of handy features that you won't find in stock ICS.
its the best phone ever really a beast i am loving using it every sec the phone has too much to explore... its fun
I had to get a second contract to get one and I do not regret it.
The one thing that worried me was battery life and I am surprised by how good it is.

Best phone I've ever purchased.
No choice, No regret,
I might regret if you could show me a phone with same features and performance...for the time being the SGS3 is the king in the phone world.
lol this phone is the ultimate phone. just waiting for the north American galaxy s3 sim unlock app or tool. carrying s2 for calling around and the s3 for everything else
the question insults the phone. just buy it :good:
Yes, a bit. It does really do anything new that my s2 couldn't - not that great a step up, plus I find it a bit more buggy e.g. redraws, browser quits.

I'm sorry, but buggy???no. Redraws yes, but upgrading to LFB firmware and it's gone and browser experience is great.the camera has some issues taking pics in low light without flash(depends on camera hardware. There is Sony& Samsung) and it's not as durable as gs1-2,because the edges of the gorilla glass is a bit thin(nothing a case wouldn't solve, if dropped)
This phone is a monster beast and great update from gs2(yeah got 1 of those to)
Do u even own this phone, doesn't sound like it.
Nope, just do away with Touchwiz and use Nova launcher and all is good.
My only gripe is no physical keyboard, I was a big fan of slide out keyboards, then the missus moved in and suddenly there's no reason to send loadsa texts etc so I went to on screen keyboard.
I have to say the huge screen makes the keyboard usable but still doesnt compare to the keyboard of my HTC Desire Z.
No not at all, well it was a present from my brother...
Never had such a sharp display, as im coming from Galaxy3 GT I5800.
So i played around the first days and what I mentioned, the phone definately has some bugs. The SMS/MMS app is very buggy by closing it with the homebutton, so it often blacks out for 3 secs. Running CM7 on my old phone i never had something like that and oh it didnt have a quadcore... so i was a bit disappointed. Well this is the only thing i noticed... hope CM9/10 will fix that.
nevertheless, the phone is brilliant! definately the best phone for now!
Nope very happy with my phone

Coming from an HTC Desire, the S3 is really a beast. I can't find any default, it's the best phone I ever bought and used.

TW is truly the ****tiest **** of all time... not gonna lie. The sad part is that i wont be able to root the phone since i have the att locked bootloader version =( Hoping sammy releases an update for the lag i have been experiencing because other than that its a super nice phone the camera is so cool.

Unfortunately tw is pants but not as bad as LG ui. I think Samsung will redesign tw next year if they have any sense!

True Lg is at a whole different level. TW needs a redesign from bottom up. Scrap everything that they currently have a redo it.
I have no lag other than with the keyboard on rare occasions. But I do get the occasional redraw on the TW launcher.
LAG While Texting
Your Not Alone! i experience lag almost anywhere i use the keyboard, if you use the Google Keyboard its actually very smooth!
i experience lag almost anywhere on the phone which is dissapointing considering i payed $1000 for a phone!!!
ok, so I was looking up the answer for this issue and I figured I would switch from Swiftkey X back to the normal Samsung keyboard...and as much as I hate to say it...it made a huge difference. It doesn't lag when I pull up SMS or MMS anymore.
Yep I switched to Google keyboard as I have the nexus 6 and its a key board I like (plus its free) and the lag has stopped..but Samsung should be able to fix there original keyboard easily in this update that's supposed to be coming.

I noticed a lot of lag with the stock Samsung messaging app, so I switched to Google Messenger, which I liked from my Nexus 6 anyways. There is no lag with it. Sadly though, you lose edge lighting and notifications.
I just got my first Android Phone 2 weeks ago, always been a Windows fan, and I am so annoyed with the lag especially with the messaging. At first, I thought it was my screen protector, but it's still lagging while texting.
