My Samsung Galaxy S also exhibits stuttering issues, launching applications often takes a few seconds. This happens with core phone apps, too, so reading an sms or making a phone call can sometimes be quite painful.
On the other hand, my Motorola Milestone is always really snappy and is a joy to use. I think the difference has to do with Samsung's UI customizations, like the pageable application list, etc. The Milestone doesn't have those, running Android without "enhancements" of this kind. So my conclusion is - Android is pretty good, but phone makers can, and sometimes do, make it worse (or better, if you look at HTC, although not everyone likes their custom Sense UI either). Samsung is about to release an update to 2.2 for the Galaxy S, perhaps this will fix the stuttering issue. I'd advise you to wait for this update before making a final decision, and keep in mind that Android is not equally good (or bad) on every phone. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 21.10.2010 1:06 пользователь "richie rich" <[email protected]> написал: I have a Samsung Galaxy S. I'm a happy android developer, with a few marketplace apps. Hence, my frustration that overall, my experience with Getting the Galaxy S (after my G1) has been pretty fraught with performance sluggishness of the phone/overall OS. I find when the cel phone signal strength is anything less than 3 bars, the phone is basically unusable. Want to look up a contact, press, and wait 10 seconds for anything. Open and App? Go grab a coffee. I thought it was something that would get better, but it has gotten worse. Overall, are people generally impressed with Android performance? After a year as an Android user, I'm thinknig of going back to the iPhone world. I never waited as long for apps to start/respond as I am now and wonder, if this something Froyo would fix? Are there settings to help? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
