Which phone did you have?

Which Android version did it have?

Did you use a custom Rom?

Did you forget to manage open apps?

Did you install performance improving apps?

"One of the main complaints with Androids is that it often gets laggy even on the most sophisticated devices."-----Victor H., not Android. But yes, Android, a consumer oriented OS, addresses claims made by trolls in an effort to ensure the are the best os. Good job completely dodging the question on what device you owned. Now, will you acknowledge an perceived lag issues have been addressed and you can no longer use it in any of your arguments?

Not on high-end handsets. Some-times due to low ram and low CPU.

Truth.com right here.

I know this isnt gonna go over well....but as of right now I would rate WP as the smoothest, iPhone and Android.....iPhone might still have the edge. BUT...Android has gotten better since 2008. Android is better as far as smoothness and lag since 2008.

It was never a priority for the Android team. They have made strides over the years. And still seem to be making them.

Android doesnt lag so bad that its unusable. I can pull out my Droid 1 running 2.0.1 if you wanan talk about lag. Samsnugn messed up with the GS1 and its filesystem that caused lag. Custom UI's contribute to it. They also can contribute to a smoother, less laggy experience too.

Bottom line....if lag is so important for your daily use....there are choices. I need more than the smoothest, most lag free experience out of my phone...so Android it is for me.

172. Hunt3rj2 posted on 27 Jun 2012, 17:16 2 0

Laggy isn't really the right word, because it's not consistent lag. It's great and smooth and then suddenly it craps itself at a random moment and then you get a stutter.... or did you?

You never realize whether or not the phone is lagging until you use something like WP7 and notice that the doubt over whether there was a stutter never happens.

That is what 4.1 wants to fix.

Um...I just looked at the Google I/O...and what you quoted was never mentioned there...

lol...I think this is the article writer's own words...and yall took it and ran with it...

wow...

If I'm wrong....so be it. But I have been looking and I have yet to find it.

Good job Victor H. I'm sure the iFans appreciate it.

71. smartphone posted on 27 Jun 2012, 12:53 3 9

Well to be honest I was a little underwhelmed by Jelly Bean it is like what is ios6 to ios5. This year both Android and Ios had medicore improvements and it let WP8 to become a real contender.

88. Stuntman posted on 27 Jun 2012, 13:04 6 0

For me, WP needed some major brushing up. They needed some significant improvements to at least make me consider a WP8 device. What I really like from WP8 is finally a centred home screen and tiles that are sized better to make better use of the home screen space. Also, resizing the tiles seem to automatically rearrange the other tiles to make the resized tile fit.

Jelly Bean seems to take a different approach as each home screen has a fixed size. It will resize widgets to fit in a screen. I actually like the GB feature where if you move widgets around a home screen, it will swap other home screen objects around the same screen. I would have liked to see something like that in Jelly Bean. If I have a large widget I want to move to another home screen and there is no room to fit it, I would rather have Android move those objects around to make the widget fit. Maybe move those objects back to the homescreen where the widget I want to move came from.

The notifications improvement looks interesting. More info is nice. Not sure if there is enough info for my liking. Looks like the first part of a sentence about the actual message or update. I guess it's a trade off between how much info to put vs. how much space to use.

105. kanagadeepan posted on 27 Jun 2012, 13:33 1 1

True for iOS part only... But WP8 is much better than WP7.5, because WP7.5 is really unusable and WP8 is OK-OK sort of update and hence it looks like huge...

But for Android, ICS is way toooo ahead of iOS and WP8... Even ICS--JB is very much better update than WP7.5 to WP8, but the version number from 4.0 to 4.1 makes u think its a small update...

194. tarozeero posted on 28 Jun 2012, 01:27 0 0

W7.5 unusable? I was gonna say the same for the current Android versions.

13. frydaexiii posted on 27 Jun 2012, 12:19 5 3

You only admit to a problem after it's fixed. We didn't say Android doesn't have lag, we said Android doesn't have lag on high end devices, get it right. And now even the mid range won't have lag. Do I need to explain everything to you?

18. taco50 (banned) posted on 27 Jun 2012, 12:23 6 10

23. ilia1986 posted on 27 Jun 2012, 12:25 10 5

Every device has lag. Yes - iPhones as well. Nobody ever said lag didn't exist on Android. However given Android current market share - it's apparently not that much of a deal breaker.

That's what I've been told, but now jellybean specifically addresses lag. I'm confused :)

your just an idiot that no one takes seriously.

taco, they were talking about android on lower level devices. High end android devices have not lagged in quite some time. They are just reducing the need to have horsepower to push the experience. Have you seen the I/O? No? then shut your pie hole because like always, your just trolling without a clue.

According to pretty much every review for high end androids for the last few years.. lag is non existent to nearly non-existant.
iOS isnt lag free either so you should be barking up apple's tree. At least Android has an excuse.. it actually does multiple things at once and a lot more than iOS. What's apple's excuse?

Locked down doesn't need to be fixed. It's how Apple does it so if you don't like that you should stay away from Apple.
