Why is there lag with Android phones, and not the iphone?

[pc747]

In case you guys have not noticed I removed the last few posts we are starting from a clean slate no need to go back and forth and telling people to lighten up. The topic is the lag issue so lets get back on that.

What lag issue?

Well as I said earlier my tbolt dont lag ... but I saw some iphone that did not update to the latest ios lag.

I have 57 Widgets on my screen all set to update every 1 minute, I play Angry Birds 24/7 and constantly switch back to my homescreen just for the fun of it and I have terrible lag, what gives?



Oh yeah and I am underclocked to 250mhz.

I kind of think of Apple devices like a train and Android devices like tuners. The iPhones are rock solid and efficient, but completely inflexible from their track and speed, but they get where they're going with minimal hindrance.

Android can be customized, cut, rebuilt, and driven hard but you see sacrifice for your effort and ultimately the user is in control of the balance of speed, capacity, load, and eventual life expectancy of the device. Put wings on it and it can fly, but don't always expect it to land smoothly. I love it

I'm laughing at all this "Android has lag" "Android run perfect" statements. If anything, this forum shows the inconsistency with the devices themselves. Why does every DX I have seen have terrible screen lag and then I get 10 ppl defending it?

ANDROID DEVICES CAN AND FOR THE MOST PART WILL LAG AT SOME POINT. This includes the mighty TB, I played with it at the VZW store. My friend has a Xoom and I can get it to lag (try using live wallpapers and see how smooth it is).

Does that mean I'm an iPhone user? HELL NO, the occasional lag I get with Andy is such a small price to pay for such a great device. But I'm not gone play ignorant to the fact of Andys biggest short commings which is homescreen and browser lag.

You're doing it wrong...to achieve true lag you need 58 widgets.

Apparently if you are losing an argument and claim that you are offended, you get to reset the clock and get the other guy's posts deleted. LOL

And for the love of Pete, let's have a sense of humor about this and not prove that my being ironic and tongue-in-cheek has any validity to it...

What I find funny is that people with androids, including myself, have optimized our phones to run smooth. If this is a discusion about android out of the box then I should have never posted. I bought an android for that exact purpose...to make it run the way I want it too. If I wanted the same phone that millions of other people have then I would have bought an iphone.
You can't see my phone or the poster with the tb. To disprove what we are saying. My phone does not lag, transitions are smooth, app drawer opens and scrolls flawlessly.
Sorry for the long post. I have said what I wanted so I am done.

I've noticed LauncherPro is the smoothest homescreen out of them all for my D2, yet that still manages to lag every once in a while.
