Touchwiz 4.0 is garbage!

Much better first look of the Galaxy II.
Josh was pushing too many button and didn't know how to use the device.

Its a better demo, but there's still lag at these times.

40sec

I understand that its the nature of Android because it doesn't have hardware acceleration, I'm just not sure how people can say that it's smooth with a straight face.

Its a sexy phone no doubt, but for cripes sake, are we going to live with lag for the rest of our lives on these smartphones? Phone manufacturers need to get it together and make a proper phone.

No, both WP7 and iOS are quite smooth.

Did you really go through and log the times where you saw lag in a pre-production demo?

I was going to argue, but watching the 2nd video, I noticed the lag immediately as well. There is no reason that phone should be less responsive than my Droid1.

Yes, and people still argue against video proof. Pre production is not an excuse because we've seen pre and full production Android devices before and there isn't that big of a difference. These phones are releasing in a few months, manufacturers don't have magic pixie dust to fix the lag in that short time.

Exactly. Although I wouldn't say it's slower than the Droid 1.

LONG PRESS. LONG PRESS. Have you used Android yet????

How the hell do I run into these people????

A little, but obviously not enough. So I stand corrected. It's not lag. It's crappy UI design.

What? Long press is universal across Android for this kind thing.

How is this in any way crappy UI design.

 

[Anubis]

Wow, sweet looking phone , nice and slim also...:biggrin: It really maximizes the screen real estate, while keeping dimensions down.

TBH thats the only thing going for it, its a great piece of hardware, thin, powerful, minimal bezel

however samsung will ruin it with touchwiz and never updating the thing, also a chance something like GPS wont even work

Because it seems to me there is no reason to make the user hold down the icon for that long before dragging it.

 

[foghorn67]

Here's hoping nobody has to endure a UI you designed.

 

[MrX8503]

I'm not sure why people are trying to sugar coat the lag with "User error you have to long press"

AFAIK, you don't need to long press to swipe through pages/icons.

 

[Markbnj]

Edit: I had a smart-assed reply here, but I thought it through some more and I think you guys are right about this. If there wasn't a delay people would swipe icons off the dock when they meant to scroll the bar sideways.

Pre-production

No ....samsung.

I wouldn't say it's faster. I just installed Ultimate Droid's latest build, made a video of it:

There's no excuse when GB runs this well on 2009 hardware.

No worries bro. Sorry about my snappy reply.

This is why blur and all this crap will never, ever be better than stock. No matter how much processing power is behind it.

You know when you sell 10 million Galaxy S phones, the number of lunatics bitter about their own purchase and latching it onto your company forever just goes through the roof. The iPhone has it better, since all the fanboys help counteract the haters. Sadly, Samsung doesn't have that magical draw to help even things out.

Launcher Pro?
