Captivate is Laggy vs other Androids

---

I have been playing around with ATT Android phones over the last several months. I started with a Nexus One, nice phone very fast. Then purchased an Aria for the fun of it... again fast phone but too small. Lastly yesterday I picked up the Captivate, and with a 1ghz, the Aria seems faster than this phone. Seems to lag between screens and boot. Is it just me or anyone else see this? Is there a quick fix for this? Anyone?

Oh I hate touchwiz, worthless crap for a UI.....loaded ADW launcher instead
thanks

It really is a software thing with Touchwiz. After I installed Launcher pro I never looked back and it has been a lot faster.

There may be a bunch of apps running slowing the phone down. I have Advanced task killer, and kill a bunch of app every once in a while when It starts feeling slow.

Where did you find this Launcher pro, and how much faster is it than stock?

Check #17 out in this post. The Euro version owners have known about this for some time.

There are some fixes - but, most likely not until we can get some custom ROMS.

Launcher Pro helps a lot, just search the app market for it.

Ive been doing side by side comparisons of my N1 running CM6 and the Captivate all day. The Captivate is faster 95% of the time. Both running ADW launcher.

You can load ADW or LauncherPro from the Market. When you set as default home, you will not be able to use "Touchwiz" widgets.......

A crapload faster. After installing it, the device is like lightning , haven't had any pauses. Just search the market. Think it is a beta.

Yes to all new samsung galaxy S owners get rid of the ****ty touchwiz launcher it sucks and its laggy as hell, get launcher pro instead.
