I am using the updated official ROM for my AT&T Fuze. I am using this ROM in its "unbloated" state, using just the WinMo interface and no TF3D installed. I am pretty sure that I don't remember this issue being present in the old stock ROM.
Basically what is happening is that when I am using a program in full screen (such as PIE, Opera, or Java apps) and the orientation of the screen changes, either by sliding the keyboard out or by rotating the phone, the start menu and title bar will pop up and cover part of the screen's real-estate. It will not go away until the program is minimized via the Home button and then switched back to. And, of course, the problem just comes back the next time orientation changes...
Are any of you out there aware of a fix for this issue? I am surprised that I haven't seen anyone else mention it, am I the only person with this issue?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Nobody else has this issue?
I have the same problem, and it drives me nuts. Sorry, I have not found a fix yet.
+1, no solution either. Pressing the volume button which brings up the volume control also helps but is no solution.
bump.
No one has any insight about this annoying issue? I have tweaked all kinds of registry settings trying to stumble upon something that might fix it but I've had no luck.
I have the same issue, very annoying. I thought it might be use of Batti, but it this happening even with no add-ins??
Yeah, this happens with no add-ins. I am running vanilla winmo with no TF3D.
Another easy way to get it to disappear is to click on the start menu to open it, then click on it again to close it. The title bar will disappear again, until the phone orientation changes again.
I can't imagine why there hasn't been more interest in this thread. Seems like an issue somehow related to the ROM update that a lot of people should be having problems with. But I'm not knowlegeable about the inner workings of ROMs to figure out what is causing the problem and come up with a fix..
I don't really want to switch to a third party rom, because I don't care for all the touch flo bells and whistles. I just want a basic, fast interface which is what I get from the stock ROM just from bypassing the bloat installs and using the WinMo interface. But with the taskbar constantly popping up ruining my fullscreen programs like youtube, scummvm, opera, any java app, etc... I might have to make a switch just out of frustration.

This may be a stupid question and it may be because I'm running a custom ROM (NATF 4.2 if I recall)
When you are on the Phone Screen there's no button, menu option to bring up your Contacts List! Did I miss it?
When scrolling through the Call History, the entries overlap making it unreadable until you scroll up.
This may be because it is a phone and not a PC, as I had this issue on my Tilt, but this phone seems to be really slow sometimes. The main nuisance is when you slide the keyboard out, sometimes it takes forever for the screen orientation to change. Lots of lag starting apps. But hey, how much processor power can you get in a phone anyway? Got to live with it until they make better/faster chips. But the lag when sliding the keyboard out is killing me.

The newer ROMs should be some speed increases since they're built on the newer base.
I would try NATF 4.4 or the new 4.5 if you like his ROMs. 4.4 was very quick for me when I used it.
How many contacts do you have? I have about 100 and I've never had a problem.
My main question is where the heck is the button or menu option on the phone screen to bring up the contact list? I must be missing something as that is probably the most useful thing you would want to do on the phone screen.
I was reading posts on 4.5 and it appears to have a few significant bugs. I think I may wait for 4.6, or if 4.4 has less bugs maybe go with that?
Sorry if this has already been posted but I did not find it. I have a question about the keyboard. I mainly use my phone for text messaging. However many of these ROMs have a problem with a lag when sliding out the keyboard. I get a new message and hit reply and it takes up to 10 seconds for me to be able to type my text with the slide out keyboard. I have tried numerous different ROMs with differing amounts of free memory but every one seems to have this lag. I'm not sure if this is my phone or what. It even did this with the JUSTME ROM that was stripped to the bare minimum. If someone could tell me how to fix this issue or point me in the direction of a ROM that doesn't have this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
I've had a similar problem with a few of the ROMs out there. The keyboard has nothing to do with the lag in my place though... it's all a matter of how I go about replying.
If I get a message and hit "Reply" I find myself waiting impatiently for the program to load and the app to become responsive enough for me to type my reply. I found a while ago that if I launch the messaging app either through the Programs screen, via the Start Menu or by pressing the messaging button on the side (this is what I usually do) that the program opens quickly and I can get in and open the message and reply pretty quickly.
It's not a fix, but I hope it helps.
I don't do a lot of texting, but I don't think I've had the issue with the JustStable ROM at all... might be worth taking a look at too.
I found that if I limited the apps on the Today screen in 6 and 6.1 to 3 apps (messaging, calander, and time/date) my screen switched very fast when I flipped out the keyboard.
So now with the dual boot options posted and available for such a wide range of devices, i've decided to try android out and check on its progress.
I have had issues with my keyboard ever since WM6.5 had been leaked.. so its been for a while now. i would have to press very hard on my backspace key, and my spacebar would be hit or miss. I would hit it, and sometimes get multiple spaces, other times nothing at all.
I even flashed the default ATT stock rom to see if it was a rom problem.. there have been many threads about this saying that this was a hardware problem, and i hate to open a new one, but i think this deserves a new thread.
I installed android this morning, and ALL my keys work as they are supposed to. So i would like to get confirmations from other people with this issue on Windows Mobile, by having them try android and see.
I return to windows mobile and the problem still exists. I go back to android and the problem is gone! so i can confirm this is NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE
I will upload videos later.
Contact AT&T warranty about this, and try to convince them to give you a Tilt 2, tell them you don't want to have the same phone and keep having problems and then having to replace it again and want to stay a happy customer.
im guessing its a conflict between the two, but thats just my guess, not totally sure why, try taking out ur memory card and soft reset or if ure phone is fresh from flashing, try a hard reset and dont put the card in yet, do a quick test on office mobile and see if the problem still exist
Nothing makes the spacebar problem go away on WinMo. It works in some ROM's (very few) but most of the ROM's the spacebar problem is back. I can confirm it is not a hardware issue. I just need to hunt for the ROM's on which the space bar used to work. I will try Andriod and report back if the spacebar issue is gone. Downloading now
I can now confirm. The spacebar has issueon EnergyROM but has no issues while using android. TurboX2 good job on noticing this.
Next question how do we go about fixing this?
tael and energy gave me issues, my current one is captains and have no spacebar issue here
so does this mean that the keyboard issue is something that could potentially be solved with some modification to the keyboard driver?
i have a feeling that this will never be solved :/
the whole scenario just doesn't make sense.. like i said... you would think reverting back to stock should have made the keyboard work again.. but nope not for me at least
If I had to guess, I would think that the results you are seeing is a result of either a more sensitive driver or a driver with a more effective signal parser that can distinguish the button press despite the hardware being worn. I'm not sure how that could be used to our advantage but at least its something to go on.
To be precise, this isn't an issue of not having enough RAM (500MB free pre-clear), this is an issue of "some LG apps" causing touch-input-handling to 'slow down'.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/how-to-replicate-ui-lag-smoothness-t3083557
since making this post, I found myself disabling and uninstalling many stock LG apps (Weather, Unified EULA, Slide Aside, Smart Screen, License Provider, LG Backup, Dual Window, LG System Server, LGATCMD Service) all the way until I got to com.lge.provider.systemui, at which point the notification bar stopped working (lol).
The REASON I did this was because each time I found the lag, I also found the corresponding app/service using about 10% CPU when watching it in OS Monitor, and kill/resetting it in OS Monitor would solve the issue.
You can replicate this most easily by installing LinkBubble and when the UI seems to be going a bit slow, opening it up-- and then drag the bubble around. You should see it tracking behind your finger, but if you follow it with your eyes, you won't see it tracking SMOOTHLY. Then, clear RAM/recent tasks, and try again: now it tracks smoothly.
The reason this is a big deal: the thing that causes LinkBubble to hitch along as it's being dragged, ALSO interferes with tap-typing on the keyboard, causing keys to be misread or, in the case of a swipe-style keyboard like Swype or Google Keyboard, to interpret fast typing as swipes for a word.
Has anyone else experienced this?
This happens on a completely stock ROM install.

Yes i noticed that on 20c firmware and it was better on 20y. The latest 30f is as good as it gets though.
I know i saw others complain about lag, but as i am texting the side bar with the settings pops up randomly constantly as im typing its driving me nuts! Anyone have this issue or know how to fix? Its not just in text its on internet browser too as i type another box with settings pops up. Ive had nothing but issues with this update ?
I have a similar issue with my S7. Pretty sure I turned this off before the Nougat OS upgrade and it came back. There's one game specifically that I play that has small buttons on the right side of the screen, and about half the time the stupid sidebar comes up. I've looked around and don't see how to remove it.
There's a lot of old posts about disabling multi window but that doesn't seem to apply to the current devices.
Edit: So after wondering why I couldn't find barely info on this, I thought maybe it's not the S7's software but my launcher. Lo and behold, the dock was from Go Launcher. Going into Go Settings and then Dock I was able to again disable the side dock (It was marked as disabled, had to enable then disable). Hope that helps someone experiencing this!
