Lag and other problems with my Galaxy S5

Re: Lag and other problems with my S5

Prime will have it next month, good things come to those who wait

What i don't get is why did Samsung put 3GB of ram into the Note 3 then decide to put 2GB in the s5? I bought my Note 3 last month and looking at specs i rather have 3GB of Ram and the snapdragon 800 cpu then the s5 with 2GB of Ram and the snapdragon 801 cpu ( really minor upgrade with the same GPU the Andreno 330). putting in 3GB of ram would of made the s5 snappy and i probably would of waited since i liked the 16 megapixel camera

If you live in Korea maybe! The current s5 is the only one you will see in the USA!

Re: Lag and other problems with my S5

This might describe why I notice the lag so much. I just switched from a iPhone 5s, The funny thing is when I had my note 3 it never lagged. I think the S5 does need more ram.

Agree with this. I never have issues like this on my Note 3. It just seems to "breath" easier. I don't even mind TouchWiz, I just wish they would optimize it and make it more efficient. They are probably so deep in the code right now that a total rewrite would have to happen.

I just want the damn power button lag to stop.

Turn off all of the garbage apps that can pre installed.

Use the Google keyboard its light years better then the crap stop keyboard.

Turn on developer options and there are three settings for animations which are pre set at 1x that once those three are turned off increases the phone performance by a lot.

Also you can try ss launcher its very fast or the Google now launcher.

I've turned off probably 30 apps in the phone which are useless.

I read they don't release octacore here in the states because it is not compatible with LTE. Does anyone know if this is true?

I am pretty sure the exynos is compatible with US radios at least since the note 2 had one.

Completely agree. Have the Note 3, and just feels like the S5 is a bit sluggish when using them both at the same time.

I'm wailing out for the prime since that seems to be the phone I'm looking for right now.

Re: Lag and other problems with my S5

Am i the only one who has an S5 that does this weird thing...when my phone is idle it says only 1 bar...but once i make a call or during the call its back 5 bars...?

Mine does that too

It's because when not using phone, the signal strength is based off data signal, not voice

And when you make a call, it switches the meter to voice instead of data

I agree with the mod, coming from a iPhone5 which has served me well for a couple of years, this phone is actually far slower in daily use! The experience of tapping something then waiting for it to be acknowledged is so jarring, and the keyboard I installed (Swiftkey) doesn't seem to keep up with my typing When you hit the multitask button there is a pause of a second before it brings up the other programs and then when you scroll through them, they stutter and lag. When I launch chrome and tap on the url. I have to tap it 2-3 times before the keyboard comes up. The camera takes an age, and the phone also overheats quite often. I've become convinced that there is something actually wrong with it, I checked to make sure it isn't some clone version already. I've deinstalled nearly every app I'm put on it (all 8 of them) and I haven't got any music on there. I'm going to try reflashing the factory rom, because it's not usable for me in its current state. My ipad3 running iOS 7 feels snappy, that's how laggy it is... I like the customisability, but it's not worth this hassle.
