Words with Friends on HTC One S is PAINFULLY slow - HTC One S

Has anyone tried playing Words With Friends on their new One S yet? It works, but as the title suggests, it's painfully slow when trying to return to the game from the ads after taking my turn (if there was a paid version I would buy it to avoid this). And it even tries to force close! I'm using the most recent version - 4.83.
Just curious if anyone else is having the same experience?
Thanks y'all.

It's probably an issue with the app on ICS rather than your specific model. I haven't played it yet on my phone but I remember even on my SGS2 it started to get annoyingly laggy!

Thanks unclespoon. I have to admit - I never considered for a moment that it was actually a problem with the One S. That phone RULES. I just wondered if others had a similar experience.
Hopefully it will get optimized for the One S and other ICS devices sometime soon.

Works fine on my Ville..

It doesn't ever sort of stutter or time out on the way back in from the ads? Do you have the newest version of the app? Maybe I'll uninstall/reinstall?
Anyone else out there?

Try going to app info and clearing data/cache. Never seems to stutter at all for me.

Tried this. It's somewhat better, but not smooth. It was never perfect, but it didn't try to force close either. Got one more force close this AM after clearing the data/cache. Still stumped on this one.

I picked up the One S a few days ago...same issues for me, including the FC when it gets tired of waiting. Definitely not the phone--the phone is sick as hell. It was the one to finally knock my HD2 off its perch, and I haven't looked back yet (though I did keep the old girl as CM9 and ICS are still being developed at a nice clip for that device).

Couldn't agree more. It's definitely not the phone. The phone RULES! At everything except WWF, apparently.

I am still waiting for my 1s but playing on my sensation with ics I had the same issue making me believe it it's the OS not the phone

That's an interesting point that it might be that it's bad with ICS - not the phone itself (which rules).
Thanks!

seems to me like the OP is saying that the previous app can be seen through the current app - like the newly opened app is semi-transparent or something...
Anyway, that's how I read it, and that is weird, and no you shouldn't have to use a task killer to fix something like that - that's a proper bug.

I had a weird YouTube bug with my MT4G running CM7 RC2. I paused a video and turned the screen off to go do something for a few minutes, and when I went back to the video, it froze and I had to force-close youtube to get any sort of control.
But the audio from the video was still going! I had to reboot to stop it--even opening another video in youtube just made two audios playing at once LOL.

REBOOTS and LAG Caused by Deoxpt ??

I was just looking in the Optimus 2X forum and noticed some threads about a lag fix due to a LG caused error from the factory where they are enabling Deoxpt to run on the fly instead of during boot, could be the reason we boot so quickly and also the cause of the random reboots, lock ups, and lag. Here is the thread below. can anyone confirm this?

That's wrong. It's not pure stock. Essentially it's just a vanilla themed Optimus 2x build, except for the different RIL.

Can you cite your source on that, I haven't seen anywhere that supports that, everything I've seen is that its vanilla android, hence why the file structure is different from the o2x and a lot of the o2x dev stuff wont work on the g2x, not trying to sound like a d-bag, I'm genuinely curious
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I have had zero reboots, zero lag, and zero lockups with my G2x... I'm extremely happy with it stock - I've rooted it but I haven't done anything else to it.
And its vanilla Android but it still has some LG customizations in it... hence why we aren't running 2.3 yet. Honestly I don't think there's a single phone BESIDES the Nexus series that has true vanilla Android.
Hrmmm...okies

So based on acree it seems we have a LG rom themed in vanilla which probably is the reason for the lock ups, lag, and reboot. I need confirmation for the Deoxpt issue. Thanks everyone who chimed in

3rd day with phone and so far no reboots. Do get some lag every now and again though. Kind of makes me think screen is unresponsive, but if I give it a few seconds it'll receive command. For example I'm running swype, and 2x yesterday I swyped something and like a couple seconds later it popped up what I wrote. Then again I was running paradise island in the back...hope it's just a software thing.

Froyo wasn't the problem either. In fact I'm still running a Froyo rom as my daily driver. It was all the bloatware. As soon as I got rid of all the unnecessary stuff T-Mobile had preinstalled I stopped having issues with my phone.
i still have every single bloatware app on my phone and i have no problems

This is not necessarily true. There are different models of G2X, what the differences are I don't know but the LG Update Tool will brick one of them (though it can be fixed).

First off, 1080p video is only through LG cam; no other camera app is capable of it on the G2X. And yes, the official 2.3.3 build removed the LG camera, replacing it with the (significantly weaker) AOSP camera. However, a team of devs has gotten the LG camera working on 2.3.3 and is currently trying to get it onto 2.3.5.
Am pretty happy with it even tho I didn't start having major problems like rebooting untill I upgrade to 2.3 but its not really a big deal because it only happens once in a blue. My friend on the other hand I feel bad because he upgraded to gingerbread and still has every problem known to the g2x. And the reason why I feel bad is cause I told him how great the phone was so he went out the purchased it at full price. Shortly after I joined u wonderful folks at xda and started reading the nightmares

Anybody know how to prevent phone reboot?

So I have Nexus S and this doesn't happen a lot but about every month or so my phone just reboots itself. I know why this happens, but I wanna know If I can prevent it...
I know this sounds stupid but I am hoping that I can prevent it... I'm not rooted or anything so I can't do anything that has anything with rooting.
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
More often then not it has to do with some sort of memory leak, and your ram bleeds out so the phone reboots. Can be caused by almost anything, system apps, user apps etc. Also, how long is your uptime on your phone? The longer its on typically the lower the available resources.
Follow the leader @corythug
Um not mor than like 2 weeks... Also when my Nexus S booted up, it randomly rebooted itself again which was kinda weird... Any suggestions?

Leave it alone. You're much better than anyone else here who has this happening almost every day LOL
I suggest rebooting every week or so just for the sake of preventing it. But no matter what you do you'll get a reboot eventually. Maybe get an app that forces a reboot at night everyday. But seriously if you have an up time of 2 weeks than that's very good
i generally try to reboot manually once daily, it keeps the phone speedy and gremlin free
Thanks everyone! I was worried that I have to wipe my phone! I'm glad that there's nothing wrong with my phone!

I just meant that I've been out of the flashing scene for about a year until recently and this phone has a different method, plus the fact that it took me 2 days to get everything backed up, set back up how I like, etc. I've lost my nerve I guess. I used to be a serial flasher of roms back in the Eris days. New rom that nobody's tried yet? Sure thing. These days I'm even hesitant to flash something if it's tried and true and nobody is seeing any problems. Plus the fact that my hardware is messed up. (I dropped it in water twice by accident and the screen also broke in a separate incident)
