So i went into the at&t store to get a replacement for my captivate because of the wake lag and web browsing lag. They wouldnt give it to me because i bought it on ebay without any contract. So basically i have to work with the ebay seller so i can get my money back or if the seller can get me a replacment.

Anyways i was messing around the with display captivate they have there and it was having the exact same problems as my cappy. A little wake lag that took a second for the brightness to adjust and for the live wallpaper to move. And still was laggy when scrolling through full websites. I played with the iphone 4 next to it and web browsing was smooth like butter!

So before i rant on to the ebay seller about this. Has everyone with a captivate had this problem when they first got this phone with the stock rom JF6? Because if yes i tried every lag fix and flashing SRE both OC and not OC, flashing stock with odin in between. none of that helped me.

With SRE and tuyatamas lag fix using EXT4 it was smooth like butter opening and closing apps and scrolling through home screens. But i still have that annoying wake lag which takes a second for brightness to adjust and for the live wallpaper to start moving, and laggy scrolling with most full websites. i come from an iphone 3gs so i was expecting SMOOTHNESS everywhere.

So does this phone not have as smooth scrolling as the iphones? Im desperate for help here.

Basically there's no solution to your problem since judging by your post you tried unhelpful's kernel and that's the best xda has to offer for the captivate in terms of wake up lag.

An alternative to that would be to try the I9000 roms but i wouldn't recommend it as its even more tedious than the regular captivate stuff.

you can't compare the iphone to the captivate unless you level the playing field. Disable widgets and live wallpaper to start with - then test both. Also make sure no background apps are running on either device.

Although Android does very good memory management, it could be that you have a crap load of stuff running - this will effect the phone's responsiveness. The store phone most definitely has a bunch of stuff running - no one ever maintains them.
