Prior to purchasing this phone, it was my understanding that the hardware involved was pretty cutting edge (read: powerful.) Going into my ownership experience I had a certain expectation that is not being fulfilled currently.
Interface mods I'm using:
Launcherpro (plus)
ATK
no live wallpaper
Ultralinx icons for LP
NoLed
Weather and toggle (just the weather widget, skinned)
Tajm Clock widget
My fascinate lags constantly. Sometimes the lags are subtle, but sometimes not. These lags occur in normal operation. I'm not talking about gaming lag. An example of what I think is an excessive lag follows:
I use LauncherPro. When I go to change a shortcut in my dock, I long press, select "change shortcut" from the menu, then the next menu pops up where I can select the type of shortcut. If I pick "applications" from the list, sometimes it takes 4-6 seconds for a list of apps to even show up. I'm looking at a totally black screen for that time.
Other instances of lag are less pronounced, but still more than I think should be apparent in this device. If I'm in an app or game and I hit my home button, sometimes nothing happens for a few seconds (other than the capacitive buttons lighting up), so I hit home again. By the time the command goes through, I've been sent to my home screen where the second press goes into effect and I'm in the launcher pro screen where you can edit screens from a distance.
Most transitions in the phone are choppy. Whether it's going from an app to home, or home to an app, the animations are more often than not laggy. Sometimes they're smooth as butter, but that's generally the exception, not the rule.
Hopefully you're getting the picture by now. If somebody can explain why this is happening (and I believe it's a widespread pattern of behavior with this phone,) I would appreciate it. Are there things I can do to alleviate whatever the system is hanging up on? I'm almost to the point where I'd like to exchange this for another model.
