JQuery Mobile range slider not smooth on Android

JQuery Mobile range slider not smooth on Android

Hi I am developing an app on ios and android using phonegap and jquery mobile.
My range slider works perfect on iOS devices but it is very crappy on android devices.

The handler is not following the finger when it is being moved suddenly far from the point of origin. it only applies the movement after the touch event or after 3 seconds of holding position.

How to fix this? has anybody experienced this already?

Thank you guys.
