no lag on my screen

Touch whiz is still bad at ram handling
been experiencing stutter on scroll after mobile been locked for a while, smooth out after scroll back and forth or up and down in browser, but that make no sense for user experience
the stutter is annoying, and will worsen if there are more widgets and using live wallpaper
changing to other launcher such as Nova will help, but fundamental cause of these annoying stutter are really TW and it will never ever be fixed
despite most review claim the new TW is much light weight and stutter free, they simply haven't use the device long enough to feel the lag

I work in a shop (which obviously sells phones), and the demo units of the Galaxy S6 and Note 4 that we have has a lot of pre-installed application, videos when not in use, animations to "show off" the product etc. etc. These units both have a lot of lag when just swiping left or right on the home screen.
My own phone is the S6 Edge (SM-G925F) and I can't say that it's really lagging or in any way not responding on my screen touches. Of course it has the normal TW-lag, but not in particularly annoying... Do you know if the demo-units had pre-installed videos, applications, animations or other stuff that may have made a bad impression of the phone for you?

Ya that is what I thought but still it scares me to buy the edge.
Anyway thx for the confirmation and yes i ordered it Anyway

To People Who has lag on their Phone can u confirm that flashing stock remove or at least decrease the lag?
Because i read many posts stating that they have no more lag after the flash.
Thx guys.

I have Flipboard and Tumblr installed on my Galaxy S6 Edge and the lag when scrolling is horrible. I noticed that the worst lag is when scrolling up and down (usually down).

I can add that I of course had screen lag when the Flipboard application was activated with the possibility to scroll left from "home" screen. When removing this option the lag disappeared! (I can't actually see the benefits of having the Flipboard to the left of "home")

How did you remove the application to the left of the "Home" screen?

Actually you can't "remove" it, just deactivate it!
Pinch out on home screen where you can choose widgets etc. Scroll to the far left where you find the Flipboard screen, and uncheck it (there's a checkbox on top of it) ?

Wave Launcher / Anyone Using It Or?..

Could someone please download the app from the market, setup and let me know if you any text freezing while typing, scrolling issues while on the Internet or XDA App? It was messing with my phone but would like to know if others have issues too. (BTW... I really like the App)

Wave Launcher is fully customizable. You can change the size, location and even thickness of the gesture-area. To change it, look for "Gesture-area presets" in the Settings screen.
The setting the works for most people and is my personal favorite is "Bottom Left - 20%". It will never interfere with the keyboard or scrolling this way.
Note that you can also have Wave Launcher automatically disable in Landscape mode which is often used for typing, games, etc.
The app is very powerful and highly customizable, please go through all the settings to make sure you make the most out of it.
Any reports guy's?

Used it and it interefered with a lot of things going on on the bottom of the phone such as opening the app drawer and typing. Just my experience others may vary.

As Mike said above.
I also tried it for a bit, and even changed the popup swipe location but it is just OK. I think bottom corner 20% was the one that worked best for me, but even then I would accidentally press the Home button. Sides are for screen sliding already, and top is for notifications, so there is not much free room to swipe around. Its a fine launcher, but I did not find it useful enough to keep.
I thought it would let me make a gesture to swipe it onto the screen, not follow my finger around everywhere, to where I cant even get rid of it without the awkward swipe back into the same corner of the screen.
What it should have is a setting on how far to follow you across the screen, so if I swipe up from bottom corner, it appears, then it follows me around but only until I get to say 50% of the screen height, then it goes away.
That way, if it appears accidentally, I dont have to swipe is back down, but simply continue the swipe up motion until it dissapears.
I tried it but didn't care for it. Holding the Home screen button essentially does the same thing. Aloso, If you're running stock then you've got your most recent apps in the notification drop down. Unless you are constantly switching between apps, it's pretty pointless.
I use mine for a quickdial and store a few contacts there. so far it hasn't interfered too much
Thanks for your feedback guys!

[Q] SG2 Browser scrolling "scroll lock"

When scrolling through a website on the browser I have noticed that if you start scrolling strictly vertically or horizontally the browser "sticks" in this direction for while, and then lets go. The scrolling is not completely fluid. I find this EXTREMELY annoying especially when trying to scroll in a diagonal direction.
Is there any way to remove this vertical & horizontal "scroll lock"
i noticed this too on a few occasions. at first it got me worried that there was a zone in the screen not registering touch input (i had this issue on my atrix which is why i ditched it).
but i haven't really had any problems anywhere else...
i heard there was an app out that fixes some sensitivity issues for the sgs2. try 'touchscreen booster' from the market and play with the settings a bit. let me know if that fixes your problem
I have the touch screen sensitivity app already ( which is included in a lot of kernels). i noticed the scrolling improvement thought the phone but still have the same issue with the browser. im suprissed that this isnt a hot topic. i hope some one can figure it out eventually.

It isnt a hot topic because its not an issue everyone is getting....so far only two of you are reporting it
It doesnt happen to my stock browser, or my friends
It might help if we knew what firmware you are running
Plus, this has nothing to do with development - this should be in Q&A

I think this is a "feature" to make it easy to scrool up/down and left/right(So you don't have to adjust if you read a long page).

+1. This is a "feature" lol. And I like it. It would be hard to read long pages without it.
lol'd
I'd resurrect this topic, because this problem is driving me nuts.
I LOVED scroll lock, and now after ICS update there are only problems. The only browser that I found to offer working scroll lock is Firefox, but it has some disadvantages. Opera Mobile has partially good scrolling, but double-tap-to-zoom fails if you disable text wrapping.
Now I use Firefox + Tasker to kill it when it's in background. I got used to scroll lock so much with stock SGS2 browser and exPDF that I can't comfortably read stuff without it. Today I also tried Boat Browser, Dolhpin, Maxthon, Skyfire, and they all failed. Can't they make browser that would behave just like exPDF? There are tons of features, but I think that web browser is actually for reading stuff.

Delay in home button

First of all, loving my new note. However I noticed that when I press the home key at the bottom, it'll take half a second to a second to actually start the transition to home.
I'm on the latest saurom, can anyone offer me a solution to make it more instantaneous?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA
Clear your cache in CWM maybe. Otherwise back up your apps with titanium backup and reflash.

Hmm OK I'll try that, just to make sure, my case isn't normal right? How instantaneous is the home button for others?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
I noticed a slight lag in returning to home using the stock launcher as well, so if you're using that it may be the culprit. I use ADW EX and have no lag anywhere.
I don't own a Note, but many Samsung ROMs have a delayed home button response because it waits for a moment to see if you're going to double-tap the home button, which starts the voice command app. Over in the Galaxy S II forums, we use a tweak to disable this "wait for the double-tap" feature to get rid of the home button lag (on Gingerbread ROMs anyway). Just letting you know in case there's a similar tweak available for the Note.
Ohh that makes a lot of sense thanks, I'm guessing there's no fix like that for the note as of yet. If anyone knows of one please let me know.
Edit: Found it! Its in deluxe settings to turn off double click, now home button is super fast ))

ICS 4.0.3 Leak Bugs/Application Problem List

Let's keep track of bugs and "gotcha's" that we find in the ICS leak or any apps that have problems with the ICS leak.
Bugs/Problems [Updated 4/5/2012]
TwLauncher crashes almost immediately after install (Crashes seem to stop after using the phone for a bit. Possible Workarounds: factory reset; re-flash ROM again)
Some applications seem to lag worse than on GB, noticeable scroll and transition studder
Black crush issue still exists but was "addressed" (test image with 1-21 blocks, on GB it dropped to black on "1", on ICS it drops to black on "7" and it's still not gradual)
Noticeable grey-to-black banding, transition is not gradual
SetCPU appears to default to 1.2GHz as the max speed
Embedded youtube videos in the stock browser don't work
Contacts tab is no longer in Phone dialer (Contacts is now found by pressing the Menu button in the Phone dialer)
Left handed SPen does not work
Battery life is questionable
Quick view option in stock camera crashes when deleting a photo.
Hovering pen icon in Pen Options doesn't seem to do anything
Build.prop, dalvik.vm.heapsize is defined twice (64m and 256m), not sure which takes priority but GB was 128m
All browsers crash when accessing any government website when it asks if you approve of there cert
Shutdown and restart hang
SMS app stops working for some, MMS not working
Email accounts, can't use multiple with the same name before the @ symbol even with different domains
Stock camera cuts left side of pictures
Email doesn't show unread email count
Application Problems [Updated 4/4/2012]
Nova Launcher/Apex Launcher works but can't add widgets due to "Not enough space on this Home page" (The widgets are actually 6 columns wide. Workaround: Nova Settings > Behavior > Enable Resize all widgets, then go to Desktop > Desktop Grid > Set columns to 6, add widget to the home page, resize the widget to take up only 5 columns, go back to Desktop > Desktop Grid > Set columns to 5)
AT&T Visual Voicemail crashes on open (Workaround: see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24451275)
Instagram camera causes reboots after taking a picture
HMA VPN Pro does not connect
Launcher Pro paid crashes
K9 Mail, swipe to delete selects the email below
Other/Nice-To-Have's [Updated 4/4/2012]
RAM available is now 624MB instead of 733MB on GB
No android or swype keyboards
Some apps are now renderring in "phone" mode (Amazon AppStore)
Adobe Flash Player not installed by default
AT&T default "Marimba" ringtone is missing
(to be updated as bugs are discovered)
Launcher stops crashing if you flash it again that's what i did.

On the Skyrocket leak the way to fix some of the first time bugs/gitters was to do factory data reset.
If someone has upgrade with problems. might try that before you reflash over and over again.

some of these issues may simply be app incompatibilities....We should be careful to discern which is which.... unless the purpose of the thread is to track both issues with the leak AND app compatibility (which seems a little silly, maybe two different lists would be better?)

Coming from 4s/Evo LTE - pre-emptive concerns

Had the iPhone 4s for about 6 months and had the EVO LTE for the past 3 weeks. Before my iPhone, I had the EVO 3D and EVO 4G. I found love for both phones, which is why I want to switch to the White S3. Seems like a potential great hybrid. However, there are some things I'm forseeing as a possible problem. Hopefully, there are ways around.
~When using exchange eMail, many of my eMails have pics integrated into them. My iPhone showed the pics as part of the eMail. EVO's make me download each pic as separate files. Can the S3 do it like my iPhone?
~What are the tactile buttons on the S3? I thought the one on the left was the menu button, but was told that was wrong. With that, how do you multi-task without the button and what is the button on the left?
~When playing music through my car stereo with my EVO LTE and I change songs, there is a weird digital noise blip. Anyone notice this with the S3?
~What's so horrible about TouchWiz that are sending people into Frenzy's in other threads? Personally, I think TouchWiz makes the phone look more like iOS.
~On the launch bar, is there a way to move where the apps launcher drawer is? I like it in the middle. Is that customizable?
Again, these are small things that I like, and any help is greatly appreciated

1. Not sure since I use Gmail and in the Gmail app, the attachments are on the bottom of the email and I can open them up individually.
2. Left button is the menu button. You multi task by long pressing the home physical button.
3. No sound issues whatsoever. Played great in the car.
4. To me TouchWiz is a little cartoonish but it doesn't bother me as much as others. But I think because it looks like iOS that's the reason people really hate it .
5. No way to move the apps launcher icon to the middle, but you can get a launcher if that's a big deal.

Thank you for the answers. The have prompted for two more:
~If the menu button is one of the physical buttons, does that mean that the apps are aware of this and don't allocate the bottom of the screen for it as well. That bottom 5% where it's all black, except for the menu icon that is. I feel that would be dumb
~If I do root, which I have never done before, does that interfere with updates that come out? The reason I ask is, I may want to switch dialers, where the app drawer launcher is, and a few other minor things
Again, thank you so far

The touch keys on either side of the physical home key are recognized throughout the entire OS, apps included.
Also you do not need to root in order to use a different Launcher [to change app launcher location).
On screen buttons have so far only been used on the Galaxy nexus, so the screen space on the S3 is purely for whatever your doing on it.
Also in case your still confused on multitasking, Holding down Home (physical middle button) brings up your running/recent apps, in which you can A: tap the one you want to go to or B: close them out by sweeping them left or right just like the notifications.
And the new touchwiz allows lock screen shortcuts now, just throwing that out there since your coming from an Evo background.
