SAM is laggy on HTC Hero

Hello,

First of all thank you for great product.
Since paid applications from android market android market are not available to me (Due to geolocation), I use your service instead.

The problem i have met with is that i am unable to use Search, whenever i click Search, it tells me it's searching but nothing happens later, i can wait for 5 minutes but nothing will happen.

The second problem is that your application is overall laggy, it takes much longer to browse categories and other applications, android market looks smoothier, maybe you should look towards optimizing application?

Third is not critical but still, why the screenshot column on application list is needed if there are no screenshot thumbnails available for any applications?

Looking forward to your answer,
Best regards,
Vitali R.

Well I have a htc hero and don't have any problems. However your problem may be down the the fact you are running possibly the slowest implementation of android available (build 1.76). I'd really recommend you upgrade to one of the official roms (google htc update) or if you're up for it, the much faster still modaco custom rom (which can be difficult to install). Just a warning though that if you choose to go with the official version, changing your mind and going to a custom version can be very difficult due to cell phone manufacturers attempting to lock you in.
