Im am getting sick and tired of the non stop lag. Everything I do is lagged behind. Icons popping up, applications running and stalling. Yes I have closed everything. not sure what the point is if you have a $400 phone. Yes I have wiped the phone clean 3X. There is still 20mb left of internal memory.
My brothers iphone i used again and everything is so smooth scrolling. Everything pretty much just pops up. you can type a message or google search without the pausing wondering what you are doing. I understand this is a new OS but so was Iphone and it didnt have this much pausing and jerking around.
Please tell me reasons why I should not go out and trade my G1 for an Iphone. dont want to complain but this is ridiculous.

Unless the new iPhone that has copy and paste (finally catching up to 1999 PDA's!) the iPhone does NOT multitask, it does not let more than one program run at a time -- whereas the G1 does. The lag is possibly from running a lot of background processes and apps. Download
TasKiller and you should be able to see what's running in the background, causing the lags.
My phone doesn't really lag. Honestly if you're experiencing enough noticable lag, you've either got too many apps running processes in the background or there's something up with your handset.
I've limited the amount of processes that run in the background. When it DOES lag, I've noticed that the 3G/E/G icon has activity -- so something is updating -- causing the lag.
I also love the app "
Memory for Lemmings" always seems to get my phone back on track when it slows down and I've killed processes and still have lag.
Honestly, since downloading TasKiller and using it to find problem apps, and removing apps that I don't need that seem to run in the background a lot, I rarely need to use Memory For Lemmings.
Widgets can cause lag, because they're the same as having an app that's always on. Even ones that aren't active. I had one of the CNN widgets, liked it at first, but then I removed it from the home screen (but didn't uninstall) doesn't matter, it was running anyway! So I uninstalled it.
