MoreThanThis
Newbie
I'm considering returning this while I still have a chance, and coughing up $300 for the Galaxy S3
I just bought the Reverb (with JellyBean) and I really liked it at first, but it lags sometimes. I don't get it. My friend has an HTC one SV and he says it never lags-- does a dual core processor make that much of a difference?
I have about 60 applications in total. it came with 38 and I downloaded 22. It takes up half of the phone's available storage. I usually don't have more than 1 active program at one time, although a lot of RAM is always being used on background processes and services-- the most memory hogging of which is Facebook and Facebook Messenger. I read that this is normal on android-- to have almost full RAM usage and any given time.
It usually lags when I'm playing a game like fruit ninja. It was worse when I was listening to music at the same time.
Is this normal? Why can't this phone seem to handle things that a phone with similar specs can handle? Is it the lack of a dual core processor? Or is it a RAM thing?
Update:
I read that this is a problem for others too, ever since the OS update to Jellybean. Some people experience freezing. I found out that disabling the "hotword detection" feature makes a huge difference, but it sounds like people were still experiencing the freezing after doing this. Unless there have been any fixes to this in the last month?
