Droid X gets smoother over time

[jroc]

^This post kinda says that the version of Blur is different than the old version. Can Sense UI widgets be used on other launchers?

I've had my Droid X since Tuesday and since then my phone has gotten faster everyday. Im talking about things such as scrolling through screens and the app drawer. Stuff like that.

So if anyone is coming from a really snappy 2.2 Droid like myself give it time!

Unfortunately, this makes no sense.

Imagination is fun though isn't it

Have u ever tried running Froyo?

I have seen this happen already running Froyo at initial boot up on my Droid. Running Froyo u had to let the phone sit for at least 1/2 an hour before even trying to use it. So some of us have seen something like this already before using the X.

The slowness with the X could be scanning the sd card, scanning the memory, etc. Who knows. When I get mine this evening I will see what it could be. It could be the auto syncing if coming from another Android phone.

I just got my X like 2 hours ago now and it is a complete snail! I have rebooted it twice and still it will not keep up with my texting. I run no other apps other than messaging and I've deleted all the widgets and am not using a live wallpaper. I really need to figure out whats going on because its so laggy and making me so frustrated. Again, no apps are running, I haven't even went into the market place yet.

Even turning on the phone, the screen takes a while to come up and the opening animations are all glitchy. Happens every start up, even the first start up!

If you haven't installed too much stuff you may want to do a full reset and start over. Hard menu button, settings, privacy, factory data reset.

I just played with it in the store, the thing was a snail. And the screen was not as responsive as my incredible or my EVO! First time I'm doing this......I'm going to wait! After a few days of reviews I'll decide on whether or not to pull the trigger.

Don't troll. I had an Evo and have used several DIncs. DX is faster than both. DX also has a more accurate screen.

All I will say is thank goodness there are former EVO and Inc users using this phone. So someone looking to try it can get some real comparisons. Good and bad, pros and cons.

I had an Inc before my X, the X is better to me.

Is it true you cannot resize widgets using this launcher?

For now.
You can still add widgets, just no resizing...
I believe resizing functionality is coming in LauncherPro.
I showed L.P. to some of the vets @ the corporate store & they were amazed on how fast & fluid everything ran.
Like butter even with the 3D app drawer enabled.
The Reps really loved the homescreen rotated in landscape mode.

You can also enable the HQ scrolling and it doesn't slow it down a bit.

you mean you backed up a app from your previous android phone? yes that may be an issue. Some apps work fine backed up, and some dont and cause issues on your device. I know it has been a issue for me in the past, now i only fresh install.

Yep and not only that they were backups that required root I should have done it with a more traditional backup but didn't think of it.

 

[Piiman]

I would get Launcherpro or ADW Launcher if you are having lag. Super fast and IMHO better than Blur.

Hey I reinstall launchpro but it only has 3 screens weres the option for more? I thought I had it but no matter what it stays at 3.

Press the hard menu button, preferences, homescreen settings, number of screens.

speaking of fast Quadrent benchmark rate the X second, only behind the Nx1 with 2.2. it even beat other phones with 2.2 It's kicking ass and taking names

Seems people disagree with you. Guess you've never rooted a phone and loaded a custom rom before...

Thanks for playing!

btw I ran quadrant on my 2.2 Droid and it scored 1259 @ 1000mhz...my Droid X scored 1277.

First off, I'm no Troll u clown. The phone was extremely slow, I wasn't talking bad about the phone, just saying it was slow, the one I used anyway. But I'll consider who I'm talkin to, a person who went through....an EVO AND Several incredibles. In about a week you'll find something wrong with your X.

Seriously, some people forget what a forum is for. It's to voice your opinion, and ask, as well as answer questions, not call people Trolls who state what they see when they try out a device. Get lost pal.

I agree with the OP...my Droid X today is actually faster and smoother than yesterday. I honestly barely have to wait for it to load a webpage..the faster internet I have ever seen on a phone. Even turned on the live wallpaper today and this thing still flies...wow.

 

[HalfFrozen]

If this phone gets faster by tomorrow my fingers will break off.

 

[damstr]

See I'm not crazy! Haha

 

[Doubledee90]

Anyone notice their screen transitions and everything to be much smoother after the recent update? It could be a placebo affect, but my phone feels blazing fast now.

 

[jroc]

Ppl are saying that, and battery % might be corrected. Ppl are noticing the texts is sharper too.

 

[ericnail]

I don't know about the speed.

But my phone was getting pretty accurate at the battery percentage, but 10 mins before i updated i plugged my phone in (after 13 hrs) and it was at 30%, then after the update it was all the sudden at 100% (took about 10 mins to update). So either the update made the phone charge 20x faster or it didn't fix it

Your phone rebooted after the update right? If so that explains the jump in battery life.

The update hopefully fixes the way the system reads the remaining battery power because it's really wacky.

What is this update of which you speak? To 2.2?
