I have always experienced lag on all Android phones I have used - right from the G1. Dainne Hackborn's blogs recently suggested that it's the app not Android. Normally, I would have attributed it to spin, but the Google Music app actually makes me believe that may indeed be possible.
The Recent Tab in landscape mode is nothing short of amazing. In Portrait mode, it's a list view which is notoriously bad in almost every app I have used including the contacts app. You start scrolling and it starts stuttering and pausing. But even in the songs list view with over 2000 songs, there is no stuttering in the Music app. There is still lag. If you drag the scrollbar on the right and move it uo and down, you can see the scrollbar chasing your finger. But if you look at the list, it's silky smooth. In contrast, the Netflix app is extremely laggy. And I'm not referring to video playback. That's a different issue. I'm referring to standard screens like the Browsing screen. Both the horizontal and vertical scrolling in the app is awful. And I'm running it on the Transformer Prime running ICS 4.0.3! It would be nice if someone from Google, especially from the Google Music team, were to write a blog post on how it achieved such great performance so the rest of us can emulate that in our code. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
