Skyrocket lags

i have a new skyrocket , well under my 30 days they replaced it because of screen then over heating issue , this one lags , i noticed the lag mainly in the text massege app, anyone have the same issue or did i get a 3rd bad phone ? my last one lagged as well , just wanna make sure if they got a batch of bad phones?

Try flashing a custom ROM. Ive never had any lag problems.

im using stock . so in your opinion i got a bad headset ?

When I was on stock, my skyrocket was AMAZINGLY fast. I think its just you, ask for another to see how that one is.

what LAG are you speaking of.....scrolling?, Loading?, be more specific so others can say if they had/have that problem.
personally i have not seen ANY lag on this phone until i installed Go Launcher<<<
which will will cause some lag.

What I mean is a freezing when I go to my text masseges. It will lock for a second. I only have 3 apps. Nothing in the background running

may just be a glitch sort of thing......unless your last one was having the EXACT same lag with the messeging. i would say load up a ROM or even reflash the stock rom that you have and it may go away.

Thats No lag. It's take a sec or two to open. The cpu needs time to react.

2 seconds to open an app IS LAG......lol
weather its an app drawer or messaging, mine opens in just under a sec everytime..........
but im on a custom ROM and using ADW Ex.

It's not even 2 seconds. It's like it's hanging up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Does it lag during calls and hang up?

That's so weird... as soon as I press messages, it snaps into action and is open before I can even react.
There's something obviously wrong with that one. Try rooting it and running a custom ROM, if that doesn't help, then exchange it.

No lag here.. rooted and stock rom and overclocked... Insane speed..

Well it doesn't do it all the time now. But my.original one did it too. It's way less than a second. It must of been all in my head because everything else works very fast so I think I'll wait till I see my update to the 2.3.6 & go from there.

Problem Fixed . called texh support explained whats wrong & they were very nice even though i was over my 30 days by 3 days , they called a store went off on them because they denied me the exchange & told them to do whatever i want done because they have to make me happy . LOL so i went & said I've had it with the black one & got the white one & couldnt be happier , thank you all for all the help

i think there isn't lag but it's slower coming from an i9100.
scrolling isn't as smooth, and the messaging app is a little funky at times too.
but idk the difference is negligible they're both awesome phones

Flash Sky Ice Cream Sandwich Rom is Amazing!

[APP] SwiftKey 3 Beta

Has anyone tried out the Beta of the keyboard? I just downloaded it and I have to say, i've never typed faster (although I've only typed out one Twitter post with it and nothing else).
I'll leave my impressions of it after i use it more!

The beta is awesome! I keep trying to put in question marks but keep forgetting that they combined question/exclamation/period to 1 key now .
I am thoroughly enjoying the larger spacebar. I don't miss now.

I always had a problem with SwiftKey X and hitting "b" onstead of the space bar but that problem is gone now. I'd like to see a then engine implemented though, as well as a comme button instead of the SwiftKey Settings button.
And i dont't know what it is about SwiftKey and I but it never seems to autocorrect for me. It's not that it corrects improperly, it just doesn't do it.

I've never used SwiftKey before, but I hit up the beta and this thing is fast. Might have to buy it once it's out of beta.

From what I can see it doenst autocorrect but does give the option to select the proper word. If its not doing that re-run the setup and choose to have it use autocorrect instead of you selecting the corrected word.

I just picked rapid instead of precision and it auto corrects for me.

Hmmmm.... I have it set to rapid....

That's strange. The only other thing I could think of is check settings, and if that is right then just clear cache and data through app management.

Huh? 40chars

Miss some old features
I really miss having dedicated push and hold comma and exclamation keys. Speed up some areas and slow down others. With press and hold delay set really low I could fly on the old version. Also still pretty laggy on ics. I am going to try task650 AOKP latest release to see if there is any lag improvement because it is bad enough right now to have me looking at alternatives...
Oh, and it appears that 'long press duration' is no longer an available option. Hopefully it will get added back after beta.

New beta is out today. Long press duration is back. So is the comma. Smart punctuation is improved, but I am still getting some lag on E4GT running 2.3.6

Set spacebar to "always insert center prediction" that is the closest to auto correct since version 1.

Well I am happy to report that with the new beta, comma IS back, and I love the location, long press duration has improved speed of accessing secondary characters, and lag has been GREATLY minimized on ICS. So far even the beta is a keeper! Oh, and no more double and triple back swipes to delete a word. That was driving me crazy...

Ive gotta say, the previous release was a lot better than this one for me. I feel as though my typing is less accurate than it was before, and i feel as though the dedicated comma is slightly unnecessary. Also, the update seems to have broken my autocorrections

Try changing from rapid to precise or vice versa. Strangely in they seemed to work opposite for me. Rapid in the old version feels like precise in the new one. I switched to the old version after a rom upgrade over the weekend and forgot how fast it was. I am still waiting for the new version to come out of beta. The swipe punctuation is a bad step IMO.

[REQUEST] Word With Friends ICS Fix

Seems that Words With Friends will freeze without FC on ICS. I've tried this on several ICS roms all with the same freezing result. Any ideas on a fix?

Its a problem with words with friends.....there is a lot of people running ICS and Honeycomb on different devices that are all having FC and other problems with it

If its freezing after every time you play a word, right after the ad, try pressing the lock button, then unlocking your phone. Its annoying, but it keeps it from freezing, for me at least.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

I had this problem on superlite. After the ad, it would freeze with a black screen, and i'd have to close it with the task manager and re-open it.
Awkwardly enough, reflashing the ROM fixed my problem. this seemed to be repeateable cause it froze up on my when i tried smoothie as well. but a reflash fixed it there =\ not sure whats going on with words with friends.

Did you ever find a solution to this? Did you try reflashing your rom as recommended by other responses in this thread? I have flashed almost every ics rom, some a number of times, and it always occurs. It is the only thing keeping me on GB roms now that Embryo has (almost completely) solved the ICS tethering issues on the skyrocket.
The only thing I can think of left to do is email Zynga and ask them to fix their app to make it compatible with ICS. However, I am running ICS on a TPrime and it has never occured, so can't be sure it is just ICS. And it appears that not every phone has this issue on ICS. However, do a search on XDA on "words with friends" freezes (put words with friends in quotes, then add freezes) and you will find a lot of posts on this topic for various phones, but it appears to occur most often on CM9 roms on various phones as well as ICS skyrocket roms.

Mine does this as well, and the app says there is an update, but when I go, it says my phone is not supported.

I was having this issue as well, and even though I hate doing it, I found a full words with friends w/ no ads apk and side loaded it.
Removing the ads fixed the freezing issue.
That is the only recommendation I can offer.

As someone mentioned, if you lock your screen right before the ad, that usually saves it from freezing as well.

I have the ad free (paid) version of WWF and it's still freezing up on me.

Does this still crash on the official ics release?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

If you're on a custom rom, you might want to see if you have "ad blocking" or whatever that is where it blocks some ads from loading properly. I forget what exactly you need to do to fix it, but I remember I googled it and found a solution using root explorer (maybe deleting a file or altering it). It's at least worth a try

[Q&A][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10 (JellyBean) Nightly Discussions

This phone is not my daily driver, and I'll do as much as I can, but I also have a day job
I would appreciate all discussion stay to this thread, and I'd love it if there were some community self-help.
State of the Union (for the Blaze 4G) (2012-11-05)
Current state of the ROM. This likely applies to any of the ROMs using the kernel sources coming from CyanogenMod for this device.
The device mostly works as it should. There are some problems currently people are having with this phone, and I will detail those here:
1) First and foremost, the Screen of Death. This is a problem that isn't only occuring to us. Just a couple of days ago I asked what the status was and the answer is that they have no idea. Some think it's specific to our platform (msm8660, which we share with a number of other phones), except that I've experienced it on other platforms, like my S3. Some think it's related to the display, except that not all the devices on this platform use the same display. Because of the randomness and lack of verbosity in the bug, they don't have a way of getting any useful data on it. dmesg and logcats are pointless. They are working hard trying to find it, but keep in mind that it isn't just us.
2) Saving pictures somewhere other than local storage. Yes, you should be able to save to your SD card. I think this is coming sooner rather than later. The following patch popped up over the weekend and adds in the functionality: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/25848. The Q&A responses to it look good. I suspect it'll go through a revision or two once they work out the bugs and then it'll get incorporated.
3) Saving app data somewhere other than the local storage. While I'm looking into it and talking to officials, I'm fairly confident that this behavior won't change in the official CM builds. Some of the other CM derived roms may allow this, and you should probably look there to solve this problem. The sad thing fact that our devices shipped with 1.2 GB of internal storage. I don't know why Samsung hates us so much, but they do. And therefore, the default behavior for CM is bad for those of us that want to game. Some users have reported success using an app called Directory Bind. I haven't used it and can't vouch for it, however it looks like it'd let you point specific directories from your internal storage to a space on your external storage. This is definitely safer than the mount swapping ideas that have been going around.
4) BLN isn't 100% unbuggy. Yes, BLN is buggy. BLN is the Button Lights Notifications. As of 11/10 we are on the official CM cypress-touchkey driver. However it seems there's still a bug there. Occasionally if you unlock during a notification, the lights won't come on. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
5) Camera Flash won't disable. This is unfortunate. Apparently if you tell the camera to disable flash, it simply won't do it. It's towards the bottom of my list, but it is definitely there.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that CyanogenMod version 10 is a moving target. Lots of stuff is happening, and until it's labeled as "stable" (and probably even for some time after that), we will continue to experience bugs.
Thank you

Make sure to check the MD5 sum of your download(s). Make sure you wipe dalvik, and do a factory/data reset from CWM. It might also help to format /system.
I used this ZIP in my last install and it has worked fin for me so far... I've actually found it to be fairly stable...

How has the data seemed? The "regular" stuff seemed to work great for me, but since I don't use this phone on a regular basis I don't know how to judge the 3/4g performance.
Also, I'd love to hear about maps performance (GPS, compass, etc).
I know I'm opening a can of worms by asking about this stuff (everyone will be hyperaware of things that never bothered them before), but it's useful to know as feedback.

Data seems normal to me. GPS and compass seem to be working fine for me also.

Surprisingly this is actually more stable than CM9 lol. The camera is smoother and has more options and the Google account synching is easier. The transitions are fast and cool too.
While I'm not a fan of the navigation bar due to the smaller screen, I do love the easy access to the multitasking. It makes switching apps easier. Is this something that you could possibly port without the navigation bar when you fix the buttons? Like give an option in the settings to replace the search button for the multitasking action? I can access the searching from the top widget. Just throwing ideas out lol.
Also the UI sounds are not working, along with the keyboard sounds. I also get this message once in a while about the "CM updater stopped working" it's not a big deal. I haven't used the data much, so I'll report in a little while. Worked fine during the little moment I used it.
Update:
UI sounds are working. Never mind. Let's see if it's consistent or not lol.

Glad to hear it's working out stable for you!
I'm not a Java/Android developer per se... I'm a bit of a self-taught hacker and the majority of my work for this was really about the kernel and forward porting the changes from 3.0.8 samsung sources to the 3.0.43 that CM uses. Adding things to the settings seems a bit daunting to me, but I'll look into it. Always wanted a reason to actually start developing for android
I can tell you that on my SGS3 (and I imagine on other phones as well), the home button, when as a long press, brings up the multitasking menu. This would probably be the immediate answer to your situation for this phone.
I could also possibly just offer up a flashable zip to remap the key and that would be much easier for me.
My long term goal really is to get this into github (and into the CM nightly cycle) and get my kernel changes into the cm kernel for msm8660 so I don't have to maintain the patches myself.
