Even on stock this beast doesn't lag.

Mine has a small delay when opening regents but that's about it.

Mine lags on the odd occasion but I think it's to do with the android operating system and not the phone itself.

How does this phone fare against other flagships like m8, gs5 and new soon to be released g3?

Am I the only one getting lags? If I use Apex Launcher I can get lags when moving to other screens, or in some games (Geometry dash for example).

From what I've seen, gs5 can lag at times but it's not common, m8 is on par with z2, g3 I've not looked at tbh so cannot comment.

Mine doesn't lag at all. But I turned off all animations and transition from developer menu. It didn't lag also before, but I want SPEED!

Does the m8 or z2 or g3 have motion sensor tat records the steps u take? I am a jogger and it is quite a decisive factor.

They either drain alot of battery or is inaccurate. So there is no sensor dedicated to count the steps taken in any of the phones except gs5 and iPhone 5s?

Yes it tracks your walking/running among other things. It is made for z2. Google it.

there is no sensor in those phones dedicated to counting steps. They use the accelerometers etc. If your really that much into it i'd recomend one of the many band options like @Xernoxis said. as anything that runs on the phone is gonna eat battery if it is polling the sensors all day long.

either way im not sure i want google to know just how lasy i really am xD

Wat abt the gs5? It has a dedicated sensor for the steps counting right? They shld rly follow apple and have a similar sensor like the m7 sensor so it will not waste tat much batt

Is there such app that lets you snap a photo while recording a video? No root please.. Thanks!

I don't think so. Galaxy S initially didn't have this feature. Later Samsung gave this with their recent value pack update. S3 supports this as well

I just bought this phone today and I am surprise how good it feel and perform.
But LG doesn't seems to marketing this L series much. It just came under the radar in Sweden at least I feel that way.
Hope project for this phone kick on soon. I don't know if it have release in other countries yet.
EDIT: Made an video, it's not much but well XD

It is not a problem. I never use it on my phones before. There are quick controls in notifications belt where you can change brightness.

S3 becoming of old age?

hi all
I have had my S3 for just under a year and recently have been growing really frustrated of its performance. It feels slow at time (which is understandable) and it freezes and completely crashes on me randomly through out the day.
I have been running the _null rom for a very long time and find this an amazing experience. I have just today moved over to chaos final v2 rom and that seems just as smooth. I am still however having these crashes!
Any body know what it could be? I must admit my memory is virtually full externally and I have about a cool 3GB internally. This should not make a difference to the system crashes though!
All ideas and responses would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Please read "unusual freeze" thread in general.
This should be in q&a though.

I've factory reset my phone already and although it's smoother it shouldn't crash and require a restart! I initially upgraded to this phone so I didn't get these issues but it's getting ridiculous to be honest!

Its not relevant. If you're unfamiliar with the s3 specifically, fyi "generic advice" is not applicable here. Faults and quirks of the s3 are unique to this device so really only owners or developers of the s3 will be able to help through experience.
I know you mean well. I'm just giving some background in case you weren't aware

Great, so you'll be fully versed in the update 7 kernel source code for the S3 that introduced the MOVINAND fix to address the faulty wear levelling code in the 0xf1 VTU00M eMMC memory? And that the issues the OP has mentioned are conducive with the side effects that this fix has on the device?

Fyi. Moto G is a kinda 'budget' phone but since it was created recently. I am thinking based on the specs. Both run abt the same.
