moving ball using ACCELEROMETER sensor is lagging...why?

Hi,

I'm somehow new to android as I'm trying to make a very simple game that relys on moving the ball or circle based on the tilting of the cell phone, the movement works good maybe there is a room for improvement to get better accuracy but doesn't really concerns me for now

my problem is that the circle lags while it's moving, strangely I know I played alot of games before that are similar on my phone and it suppose to be able to handle such a simple game

I would guess that my problem is the way I'm listening to the sensor that is causing the lag but I don't know how to fix, can someone give some hints please?

there are some extra texts in the screen as I was doing some testing with them feel free to ignore them...
