Lmao so that's what it is, LOL I will use task killer from now on but I was just curious about this, not complaining about it

That's strange. I never use a task killer and I've never seen anything like that before.

What's even wrong? You're hearing background music from a different app?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

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.

Now that's a problem, if yu don't see it I shouldn't have to see it either. Ill get in contact with tmo for a replacement, cuz I've been thru 3 already and I never notice this on the other G2s either so it has to be the phone.....

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.

Lmao that's even weirder, and btw I just notice that I had just rebooted my phone and I opened up the xda app first thing and notice my backgroud wallpaper in the back ground with the enotification bar and everything, I doubt this is due to multi tasking, now I'm really concern with this.

Woah yeah that's not normal. What if you in to another app after XDA? Does it then show XDA in the backround? You're best off getting a new one off TMo tbh.

This is rom related and has nothing to do with android itself.
Post this in the cynaogenmod thread in the g2 section. I have the same issue and its definitely rom related. It has only happened on the nightly's 1-20 Rc1 and rc2 but I haven't had it on nightly #30. Cm7.

YouTube video running, makes the phone running REALLY SLOW!!!

Hey everytime I'm watching a video on YouTube through the YouTube app, it makes the phone incredibly slow, the video and sound runs as it should, but the app it self runs slow and when I lock
and unlock the phone, the silver "unlock ring" moves really slow, it can't even catch up to my finger...
I've tried running full flash content from the browser, and that works well.
Anyone else got this problem?

I don't think this is an issue with the phone. I think it has to do with too many RayWJ videos.

He was just being silly.
I watch a ton of youtube on mine and it operates very well. Always high quality also. If I lock the screen... sure it might give me some lag unlocking. Same thing if I do it during a 3d game. I wouldn't consider this unusual as the youtube or game was properly sucking up all the system resources it could handle.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. It doesn't lag for me. Check Task Manager to see what's running and end all applications besides Youtube.

Yeah, keep your mouth shot. But seriously, it's just you dude. Try rebooting your phone.

I can confirm the OP's findings. I too experience the same issue when using YouTube to listen to some random songs. I lock my phone after the song loads. When I try to unlock my phone it is very laggy and it feels as if the phone is using a lot of memory when it really isn't.

You Tube
Being watching lots of clips using You tube no issues. I have an issue with the sound quality. Anyone having this issue?

Tonight I made a little video of the phone running in slow motion while playing a YouTube video.

To stream and buffer your phone IS using memory. Where do you think it stores the data? Videos aren't small.
I didn't know youtube streamed music. Are you talking about music videos?

That performance didn't look horrible. You are streaming fyi. I don't know about you but when I watch a video... I actually like to WATCH the video... full screen. If I need to do other crap with my phone I'll just pause and do other stuff.

Screen Problem

Ok so i rooted my phone and when i installed a rom every time my screen turns on it shows a bit of static right before it completely turns on this happens on all the romes i try except bionix reloaded for some reason,if anyone can help me outt please do
My Problem Still Exists with All CM7 Based Roms i just hope it wont happen on ICS I found a great rom That does not have this problem with my phone
I think i will keep the Tsugi Rom Because i Really like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC8HqBrinBA
at 3 minutes i turn the screen on with no static on Bionix
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YICwp5R_wbM&feature=youtu.be
on MIUI,At the end its in slow motion so you can see

Static? You'd have to try getting a video of it for up to see. Don't know what could be your problem.

Are you talking about a line through the middle of the screen and then you get a full screen? If so that is the "turn on screen animation." Not all roms have this turn on or in them at all. I have never seen or heard of a LCD screen having static. Plus if it was static it would have been on the stock rom and the bionic rom as well

If you are doing reviews and stuff you should probably know what you are talking about. That's the turn off animation @3:00 minutes into the video.

That's what I thought, but he said at 3 minutes there's NO static... so I don't know what he's on about unless it is screen on animation.

yeah thats the only rom that i get no static on i will post a video soon on it

i said under the link on the second reply that there is no static and i just put a video where there is the static on the miui rom. sorry if i cant explain myself right, im just trying to show you that on the Bionix rom their is no static and that on the miui rom there is static
And no i am not trying to get people to see my youtube videos, i just think that its the best way to show whats going on with my phone rather then trying to take a pic of when it happens because taking a pic right when it happens would be hard to do

Are you using the stock kernels with the other roms. If so are you using a app for over/under clocking. Are you using a app for a lock screen. These could be the issue. It looks like it is taking a second to load something.

i didnt install any other kernel other then then the stock one that came with miui port of team kang
and on bionix i flashed the Dragon g2x kernel
And no overclocking or lockscreen apps on either roms

I have no clue what the OP is seeing or talking about only thing at 3 minute mark is the crt animation.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

He uploaded a new video show what is going on. The first was is with bionic which it does not happen on that rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Okay just saw it I see it now. I haven't ever seen that, maybe set the crt animation for power on and see what happens. The only thing I've seen is the screen turn on with no real image just the blacked out screen then after the picture shows up. I can see why'd that could get annoying to some though. Maybe try a different kernel, or mess with voltages if you have SETCPU.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Are you using titanium to restore and apps. When you flash the other roms and before you set up anything does this happen at the beginning. Also are you wiping system, data, delvik, and cashe?

I have a similar thing. Not really static but more so the screen lights up and then actually displays the picture. Does it on all roms for me too. I figure it's a hardware thing.

Words with Friends on HTC One S is PAINFULLY slow

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.

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.

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

Tapatalk runs like garbage on VZW s3, anyone else?

It gets to the point where I can't scroll down it lags so bad and then it eventually force closes. I've only heard one other person complain of this same issue with a semi solution of force closing it and clearing out cache in app manager, but it happens so frequently now. Ugh. Anyone else have this problem and maybe a possible solution?

yeah my xda app does the same thing (tapatalk hosted I think) I was wondering the same thing.

Yes this is a dupe, something isn't coded properly in the app it seems. Hopefully the last update fixed it, I haven't had any issues since the update.
Edit: update did not fix it, mine just started lagging again.

Def not a gs3 problem though. My note and razr do the same thing.

Seems like when I ask it to do something before it's finished loading, it crashes.
Other than testing my patience, it's chugging along just fine for me. I rarely use it though.

It's the app and not our phones. Same thing happens on Nexus 7 using Jelly bean, which is super smooth in every other app. I'm half tempted to just use the website but XDA is a pretty heavy Site.

Tapatalk = garbage. Xda needs to get a mobile site so we don't have to use this trash.

When this starts happening, I suggest you go to the applicationxmanager and clear the cache for tapatalk. Clearing the cache has considerably helped the app perform fadter and smoother overall.
