Hi,
I got this phone for over weeks now and noticed a consistent "issue". I have the circles widget on my homescreen and noticed that most of the times when I go back to the homescreen, the circles and other icons there does a "refresh" and gets reloaded on the screen. Is this normal behavior? It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing. Sometimes I can just be texting someone back and forth and I hit the home button to do something and have to wait for it to refresh. Not a huge time killer but still bothersome.
This is a stock XT926 model updated to Jellybean 4.1.1. I don't remember if it was like this in ICS (updated almost immediately when I got the phone). Thought about downgrading to ICS to test this out but after much reading and attempts, I just gave up. I will stick with JB unrooted but want this homescreen refresh problem fixed :crying:
Thanks.
I had the same issue with mine. Switched to nova launcher which completely eliminated the refresh issue. I wish I had found a solution with the stock launcher, but never did.

Yea, pretty sure this happens on all of the HD's. Been off stock for so long I forgot about it. Its not an issue with your specific device, its an "issue" with all of them.

same here, even with apex launcher.
this fixed it (root required):
Code:
PPID=$(pidof com.anddoes.launcher)
echo "-17" > /proc/$PPID/oom_adj

Please explain further what this is and how to do it.

It seemed to go away when I removed the Circles widget. But eventually ended going to Apex launcher without issues. I'm on 4.1.1 unrooted.
Just recently however, I wiped and restored and am still on the stock launcher with the circles widget and haven't had this issue return...

to say it in an easy way: this makes your launcher hard to kill / 'bulletproof'
enter code in f.e. terminal emulator after reboot, or write sript that is executed with every boot.

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

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

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.

How can I stop the ROM from automatically downloading my apps. I would rather use TiBu.

I use Swiftkey X, but it will do it with the stock keyboard as well. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the keyboards, since they'll load up predictions for whichever button I press, but it just won't actually type in the field.

Ooo I think I know what you men because I too have had these little annoyances before.... what I did when it started was kill EVERYTHING LOL yes literally kill all of the things... I even killed the keyboard/sms process since that's where it happened most at. After doing that my issue was usually fixed. Also found that I just type too fast sometimes.... it honestly can b a number of things actually, let me know how this works.

Does anyone know how to change system fonts for this ROM?
Before flashing this ROM i wanted to know how the battery life is on this?
Compared to other GB ROMs.
I change my fonts through rom toolbox pro

My battery life hasn't been the greatest. about 8 hours with minimal use. Screen was barely on and little texting.

Sucks to hear, i'll hold off for now
I have been getting a little less battery life with ics...but nothing shocking. I get anywhere from 10 to 16 hours...but that is the same I have been getting with gb...even froyo. I do a lot of reading and listening to the radio...and I always have a charger near by for those occasions when the battery gulps instead of sips.
OK, maybe a dumb question. Coming from GB Roms, I am use to "My Files". On this ROM where do I find something that works the same, or what is the format?

Is anyone else having issues with chrome kinda freezing? At least twice a day trying to use it, the progress bar will go all the way across the screen, and nothing but a white screen comes up. The new tabs page works fine, but any web page i try to open does this, until i force stop chrome in apps, then it works fine for a while. Happens on my Maxx and my Tab tablet. There's no indication or set number of times it'll work before it does it again. Thought about uninstalling and reinstalling, but since it's a system app, TiBU gives me a big warning about doing so. I am rooted, one 19.6.3, but this has been happening since I was on 19.5.3 unrooted. Any ideas?
Yes it happens to me at least once a day. Only way around it is new tab for me.

Havent actually tried a new tab yet..Ill give it a try today and see what happens. Be a bit easier than force stopping every time.

I've had the same issue since updating to KK. I've factory reset, cleared cache, etc and was sick of having to start new tab every time. I Uninstalled chrome updates and it's working as it should now, annoying glitch and work around

Hi,
So I'm running PA 4.5 Alpha 2.
When I select Fleksy as my keyboard, it does not seem to stick. If i let my phone idle for a couple of minutes, unlock it and I'm back to default Android keyboard.
I also have Minuum installed and it does not seem to behave the same way.
I've seen some old posts on 4.1.1 that was doing the same thing after reboot, but my case is different as I don't have to reboot for it to happen.
I've tried emailing Fleksy, they of course told me to revert back to stock.
Anyone has some suggestions?
Thanks.
Freeze the default stock keyboard and then it shouldn't be able to go back. I'm using SwiftKey and have no problems.

Good suggestion, thanks.
Anyone has an idea what is causing the issue ?
Have a completely stock T-mobile Note Edge and recently been noticing that when I flip through my home screens (2) that the font is real small then pops to regular size (the font under the app icons) also the calendar widget goes back to regular size (that's only a tad smaller than normal)
I tried getting a screenshot of this happening but flipping through home screens and holding down the power and home button fast enough is a wee bit tricky.
Anyone else getting this issue? Seems to happen like 8 times out of 10. Running 5.0.1
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
Yes. Same here with stock, unrooted 5.0.1. My girlfriend also has this problem on her Note Edge and she's with Sprint.
Been searching for any reference to the issue online, you are the first person I've heard mention it.
I don't know how to fix this but I wish I did. I've factory reset, wiped update cache, uninstalled apps. I'm out of ideas short of getting a replacement. [emoji29]

I'm thinking it's a software bug.
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
Not sure what significance this has, but I noticed that if I go to developer options, scroll to GPU rendering profile and enable 'show onscreen as bars', for me this issue is longer reproducible.
Could you test this out on your device to see if you get the same results? It could be helpful.
If this is a software issue, I wonder if using Odin to write a fresh copy of 5.0.1 to the device would fix it. Have you tried this?
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
Still happens
Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk
Huh. That's interesting. I'm kinda hoping it is software related. I still haven't figured a way to permanently fix it.
Did you try odin'ing fresh stock firmware back onto the device? I haven't tried that yet. Or what else have you tried?

I have a T-mobile Note Edge and I am having same exact issue. i think the problem is with TouchWiz. I downloaded Nova launcher and it works fine now..I would be glad to get rid to Nova launcher and go to to Touchwhiz if the problem is solved.
