Galaxy S5 And Lag... Does It Or Doesn't It???

[rustum]

Performance test with M8. Lag is there with heavy multi tasking. M8 is good for heavy multi tasking.

It's definitely slower than the M8. There is no sense of "immediacy". It's more like "you pressed something......and now I'll do it".

On its own in a vacuum it's plenty fast, but that doesn't make other things not faster. So the S5 is fast, but the M8 is faster.

To be clear, I have seen no stutters. Those are different. It hasn't hung on anything I've asked it to do. There's just this delay between when you tell it to do something and when that action actually happens.

I still disagree on the lag, I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and I see no difference at all. Things are pretty instant on both devices.

M8 feels faster than that too. I also have one here.

I guess I haven't tried the M8 yet. My friend has one but I've only seen him play with it.

Wow, good video. I didn't realize that the s5 had to reload apps from the multitask screen. I love the fact that my m8 keeps all my apps right where I left off.

I haven't noticed any lag except for the lock screen. When I hit the power button it takes longer than it should for the screen to come on.

RAM. The S5, more specifically touchwiz, doesn't leave as much free memory. More fee memory, more apps that can be kept loaded.

I Don't have the One cause the s5 has more of what I prefer. Its obvious that the one is faster. Kudos to HTC there. However the guy in the video makes a big deal about the slight pauses with the gs5 detracting from the overall user experience. But I haven't found that at all. I really do think people are making an necessary big deal over all this. But I guess it might matter to some..ah well..

How would you all compare how fast and smooth this phone is with the iPhone 5S?

When I tries the phone at the VZ Store and Bestbuy, it was really fast, but I did notice some lag such as in the camera settings during the camera mode.

The .5% of owners on here might notice it, but the other 99.5% of buyers will never notice it.

You don't notice it because you don't have an m8 right next to you. If you used both of them side by side for a little while, it might become more obvious.

Not disputing that at all dude. As I said, i'm not in a position to say otherwise. However I still don't think the slight delay is as terrible a distraction the guys says it is. I don't think its a distraction at all. I also posted a pic of both of my phones in the "Official: I love my Galaxy S5 thread". The other phone being a nexus 5. So i'm kinda basing my experience off of that too.

Maybe not, I was just pointing out that these things don't really matter because you don't have both devices to compare side by side.

The biggest issue I saw was that TouchWiz doesn't manage ram as well as Sense 6. When multitasking on the s5, you have to reload apps when you switch between them, whereas on the m8 you don't. The little delay wouldn't bother me at all unless I had both devices and the ram management probably won't be an issue to a lot of people

Re: S5 And Lag... Does It Or Doesn't It???

Turn off the double tap the home button to launch s-voice. What's happening is every time you hit the home button the phone is holding on to see if you tap it again. If you turn it off you'll see a major difference

So how do you turn it off?

I have the htc one m8 and the galaxy s5 and the s5 totally lags. Not much as the s4 but its not even close as smooth as the m8. I still like it but everything lags. Scrolling is not as fluid as the m8. Its still a good phone but it lags.

My S5 is relatively smooth but does lag from time to time. Camera opening takes ages sometimes. Screen redraws too. My M8 is miles faster. But it's relative. Does it matter. Not really. Only when the camera takes 5 seconds to open because it has frozen temporarily.

I think it's in Settings inside of S-Voice. I had to look for it, so I don't remember exactly where I found it.

This delay can be vastly shortened by enabling developer settings and turning down the speed of animations

Yep. Should definitely NOT have to do that, though. Makes me question why Samsung chose such slow animations as the default.

I typically keep things stock for a while without changing anything at all on any device to make it an "apples-to-apples" comparison. This way I get to see the device the way the manufacturer intended. I just disabled MyMagazine yesterday, for example.
