Multitasking - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I've tried the mods, but it just still doesn't seem like this phone is multitasking. It seems more time based than it does ram availability.
I don't know... My prior phone was an infuse and it just seems like when I went back to apps they were always where I left them, and if I had stuff typed in... It would still be there.
Anyone agree or disagree and if you do disagree, how do you have your multitasking modded or setup?
Thanks

I too have always had a problem with multitasking. For instance MOG just pauses for no reason if I have more than one app open. Same with another app called doods music player. Browser refreshes if I leave it for more than 10 seconds. I've tried everything, used min free, flashed clean roms multitask fix and it still sucks. I am a huge music buff and without true multi tasking it sucks.

Skyrocket lags

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!

Multi tasking not really

If you have not noticed the one x is not really multi tasking. My GN does multi tasking different.
When I switch to an app on the GN, it freezes that state of that app and when I switch back to it, it's where I left off.
On the one x, it refreshes the app, not freeze it.
Is this something that can hacked to get it to work like the GN?
^This. O/S is randomly killing apps. I've frozen every possible culprit, switched launchers, etc. Keeps happening. I think it's HTC's battery paranoia and they've done something in the Kernel.

Yea I think a lot of us noticed this.
My biggest issue is the message app. When I go into, all of the messages display the numbers and not the name. It'll take a good 2-3 seconds before it refreshes and replace the numbers with names. This bothers me the most!
I've noticed it as well. It's really frustrating when you're listening to a podcast and Pocket Casts just dies. It's probably something in memory management. There's a tool floating around somewhere that lets you tinker with these values, I'll have to find it.
hmm i was wondering about this too. i thought ics was supposed to have really great multitasking but my ipad does multitasking way better in this case (resuming a game exactly where you were instead of just restarting it like it does now... really it's the same as just going and launching the app again...) come to think about it, its basically the same as the old hold down home and see the recently launched apps in gingerbread. would love to see it really resume apps that were closed...
Could this be why Pandora sometimes plays first second or so and then buffering to new sing? Lol never happened before now

Oh my god I can't stand it is especially on this xda app. I switch back to a post I'm reading and it refreshes me back to the home link, then I gotta go back and find the post again. I really hope we can stop it when root comes out or sooner. Honestly almost makes me miss my gs2

[Q] Keyboard keeps reverting to default

So today I had to get a refurbished skyrocket since mine decided to start restarting constantly every two seconds. Got the new one, rooted it and such, and put Nexusmod 4.3 on. Installed my usual keyboards, swype for when I'm driving, swiftkey for when I'm at work, and GO Keyboard for when I use emojii on twitter. I use the built in task manager alot, and each time I clear processes and apps, it resets back to stock keyboard. Never had this issue before. Help?

I didn't want to make a second topic.. and I did search for this the best I could from the app, but is there a freeze list of apps anywhere? I want the best battery life I can get.

KitKat Bugs?

Anyone notice scrolling w/in apps seems to look a bit choppy. I mean its still quite responsive just looks horrible. Any thoughts on how to remedy it
Also what other bugs are you seeing? Besides home button one.
Sent From My KitKat Ultra
Idk if I would say scrolling is choppy but I'd say that 4.2.2 might have just been just a miniscule bit more snappy than 4.4 is...
Benchmark scores (as unreliable as they are) would seem to verify this as my phone scores just a tad lower on almost every benchmark than it did on 4.2.2

Also having some choppiness in apps that I didn't have before. Hopefully some performance updates are in the works.

I have a bug, when I open my app drawer and scroll through the widgets once I hit the third page it is turns the screen off, every time
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
USB tethering with easy tether no longer works.
Just had Dolphin Browser/OS completely lock up.
After restarting the phone and clearing cache from recovery I received a bunch of emails from Outlook which had arrived around noon without updating.
Dolphin browser, when scrolling a page flashes a white screen but that may be dolphin and not OS related.
If anyone is on the fence for this update, best to wait for a better build.

Good build
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this build, at least nothing rising to a known or systemic problem that I'm aware of. It's a pretty damn good build...one question / variable would be; how many of you are on the ART runtime?
My battery saver toggles itself off after a reboot. Anyone else? That's all I can think of.
I use ART. Also tried with Dalvik.

[Q] Google search update lag

I have had a look online to see if others are having my problem but can't seem to find anything on it so thought i would ask here.
A few months back i created a thread regarding lag issues on my nexus 5 more specifically app drawer opening/closing lag, well after flashing back to stock, unrooting and factory resetting a few times the lag was still there UNTIL i turned off auto update apps and the lag dissapeared so i figured it must be an app so after a while of trying to find out which one it is i found out it was the updated google search causing the lag for some reason so i uninstalled the updates and the lag dissapeared and now i have had auto update off for a couple of months.
Well now i want to turn auto update all apps on again and update the google search app to get ok google again but again after updating the lags back so had to delete it once again, anyone got any ideas on why this is happening? I have already tried rebooting the phone which didn't make a difference so i wiped dalvik and cache again this didn't make any difference

Your post is long, and confusing. Are you experiencing lag when opening app drawer? Are you saying that updating any Google services through the play store causes your phone to lag? Can you tell us what's your phone set up?

Yes the lag is there when opening and closing the app drawer. The only google service that causes this is the google search app, when i uninstall it through play store it just uninstalls the updates so i lose the ok google hotword feature but the lag is completely gone and the phone is buttery smooth, as soon as i update it again the lag starts.
I'm on a rooted nexus 5 4.4.2 running a stable release of faux kernel that's it everything else is stock

is it possible for you to recreate the lag again, and check your processes to see if there's anything running in the background that might cause the lag.

The lag is still there as i have updated google search so the app draw is still stuttering. I checked running applications on settings but there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal but i don't really know what i am looking for though

I'm referring to any apps, specifically from Google, that's running in the background. It might be taking up a large chunk of your processing power or downloading something, causing your phone to lag. Are you running Dalvik or Art?

Can you switch to ART and see if the problem persist? If you are not comfortable switching, you could flash the Dalvik+Bionic library optimization. I found it very smooth, compared to stock Dalvik.
Also, scale down Windows animation and Transition animation to .5x in developer options.

That's a crude way of putting it, but yes. In a way we're all trying to mask our phone's shortcomings. Seeing that even though we all have the same phones, yet some are better than others, some encounter more problems than others, some have better battery life than others. You can't come in here and expect your phone to be perfect with no problems. Sometimes we find a fix, sometimes we find a workaround. It's hard to pinpoint the problem without much in-depth troubleshooting, but if it "fixes" the problem, than that should be sufficient for now right?
(damn I feel like a philosopher)

But since they are all mass produced shouldn't they all produce the same results? I mean they aren't exactly living beings like us some being more successful than others lol so would you say mine is actually a faulty device? I've just switched to ART so will test it a little, i didn't switch earlier due to ART not being fully stable and ready not sure if that's changed now

If that was the case, this whole forum would not exist. Every phone is different, even if they're the same model. We tweak it and mod it to our liking, and we never stop trying to bring it to its optimum ability.
Yes ART is unstable to some apps and mods. Before rooting my phone, I was on ART for a few months on stock. It was very smooth, and surprisingly didn't have any incompatibility issues. After root, in order to have Xposed, I had to switch to Dalvik. There was definitely some lag issues. I also experienced them with the app drawer, similar to yours. But to circumvent that, I flashed the Dalvik+Bionic libraries and it was as smooth, if not smoother, than it was while I was on stock ART.

So your saying that let's say we both bought the same phone in this case the nexus 5 and when we turn it on it's brand new so nothing installed on it yet but one phone has lag but the other is as smooth as butter would you consider that perfectly normal or would you think something is wrong?
I have been running ART for a few hours now and unfortunately the lag is still there, once i uninstall the google search app updates it goes back to being as smooth as butter same as when i was on dalvik but like dalvik once i install it again the lag comes back
