Just a few examples to name a few:
I don't want my phone to turn on when a new txt comes in. Can't find a fix
I installed pocketshield on my phone to help keep the screen locked. It works well but seems to really bog the phone down.
If I am texting too quickly and try to send out while a txt is coming in I get pop ups for the sms send fail and that slows down the phone. Why can't it just wait till the incoming message is in and try again?
The ap store sucks
The phone is just laaaaggy and slow - it's like my DirecTV box.
6.1 seemed to run a lot better than 6.5 did at least in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with the phone, it just is slow.
I am thinking about maybe dumping my grandfather sero plan so I can get a pre or something.
I really do like the phone itself just the os sucks. I have a new ipod 3rd gen and granted it's not a phone but it has the same "guts" as the 3gs. Everything I do on that thing is FAST. Aps open up very quickly, it's VERY smooth, it doesn't freeze, the web browser crushes opera mobile. I would never get at&t and you can't customize the iphone as much as a wm phone.
Yes I know if I don't like it I can get a new phone but like I said I do like the phone itself, love the keyboard but the OS just blows.
Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same way?

You have full controll of your phone! If you arent happy do reg edits or rewrite apps and programs to do what you want when u want, slim it down. This is a computer with a phone app. Not a phone with a computer app. Windows can scream if u want it too. 6.5 is still fresh too. If u need help or advice ask, thats what ppcg is about. Every OS for every phone is under constant development. Your opinions and desires are major!!! Thank you for expressing these issues as I agree they need to be adressed.
I also have a Hero and it doesnt seem much faster to me and it is bare. Start loading apps and multi tasking, im sure it bogs down too.
Palms are sexy but limit your control, my opinion dont do it.
Maybe try the 6.1 Blackout rom for a min first? Still beta though, but all these roms kinda are!
