Slower than my GTAB 10.1

---

For basic tasks like web surfing, I find the A700 actually slower than my GTab 10.1. I have even tried different browsers and the results don't change much. When I go into the TSN.CA video library (broadband link at top), I can click links and 29/30 times it does nothing with the stock browser and dolphin. It works fine with my GTab (3.2 stock). Scrolling with the A700 using quick finger strokes and there's a 1 second delay before it scrolls and I'm not sure if this is by design or not. It's sure annoying though. Other than the nice display and the quicker video decoding, I'm not sure this is going to replace my current gtab just yet.

Haven't picked up an A700 yet, but on my A500 you can adjust the sensitivity settings for the screen. In addition, a few others have mentioned by disabling ring, and a few other non-essential apps, their lag issues were greatly diminished. Maybe a few others that have the A700 can comment on whether they have adjusted their settings.

I disabled the ring, but haven't tried much else yet. It seems kind of strange that the O/S is not optimized better than it currently seems. The video playback I have tried is smooth, but I'm also noticing inconsistent sound volume with this tab (all apps). Sometimes the volume is soft even at max, other times it's good. The very first time I tried the tablet the max volume was really low, like about %30 what it should be.

compared to my tf300 the a700 behaves like a brick on a stick. the OS seems cobbled together, is slow and unresponsive. Yes its helps deaktivating the ring and uninstalling crapware (Titanium Backup uninstall since they are protected apps...)

Bear in mind that the same hardware has to power a much larger pixeldense screen - though i find it interesting that riptide i.e. plays much as it does on my tf300 (ok its a bit more corny but thats thanks to the increased resolution)

but yeah - everyday tasks are much slower - moving smth on your dashboard around i.e. webbrowsing... etc....

this tab needs a recovery mode so bad - since with recovery we can flash custom roms - and a rom without all that crapware on it would go a long way for speeding things up - add some kernelmods and optimisations and this tab could go a long way - but sadly, we're not there yet.

Sounds like you need to stick with your Galaxy Tab OP
