Lag How To Fix?

[Alchematron]

Anyway to fix lag when scrolling a page?

Coming from the smooth as silk iPhone, that was the first thing I noticed.

Wondering if Froyo will fix it?

Thanx

Coming from the Iphone, you'll notice that after you close an application, it still runs in the background.
1. Download Advanced Task Killer Free or TaskKiller from the Marketplace
2. Open and close all tasks.
3. Put a shortcut on one of your homescreens, and you can kill all apps on the go.


That should reduce almost all the lag you get.
Froyo will most likely fix it.

So you're probably asking what's the point of having apps run in the background? Well, that means you can run apps like pandora that streams audio, while doing other things like browsing the web and/or play a game.

Quick tip: Press and hold the home button to see your last 6 used apps... switching is not as easy as the Palm Pre but still useful.

I've noticed that also. I'm not sure it's lag though? If you notice when scrolling down with a flick of you finger it only goes so far and then stops abruptly. With the iPhone it doesn't stop. So I think it just feels like a lag. How are you liking it compared to the Iphone? I miss a few things with the iPhone, but I'm digging the Android!

Ive experienced zero lag caused by the Evo itself.

I've downloaded a couple of total crap apps that have locked up the phone pretty good but after about 20-25 seconds i get a popup saying "such and such app has frozen, force close?"

The Android scrolling mechanism is also kinda' different than the Pre and Iphone.
That maybe what you think is lag.

It IS a bit laggy. I think it's all the Sense crap bogging it down. The Nexus One was way snappier and responsive than this.

No lag on my EVO. Its snappy and responsive. My Hero lagged.

Same here. In which programs is it lagging for those of you that are experiencing it?

I have both a nexus one and the evo.....I experience NO LAG and in instances the EVO is faster.....what have you done to get lag???

Scrolling is significantly different between the iphone and android.....I would say the iphone is loose and lasts longer flicking to scroll and android is tougher and slows down more rapidly. Neither is better than the other. Its not lag man, sorry, its just different implementations.

The iPhone does not lag because it is only running ONE thing. Android meanwhile has all kinds of stuff running to make your life easier. Mine has lagged a little bit here and there but it is very smooth overall and worth the very little bit it does.

It's perfect here also. Alot Better Than That HORRIBLE BB TRACKBALL.
