themes=lag? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, yesterday i bought a new galaxy S6, so far everything is smooth and fast, i heard that applying a theme can cause lag...is this true? because if it does then i dont wanna change my stock theme...

Is it really that hard to apply a theme and test it yourself? Some people are really ridiculous...

no its not hard, but if someone already tried that then they can give some feedback...if you cant help then do not comment

I mean, you have the phone in hand right? You couldnt take the 5 seconds out of your time to try it yourself? Instead you thought it'd be better to be ridiculed as you wait several minutes, even hours or days until someone tells you something you could have confirmed yourself?

Maybe he's afraid once you change themes, even if you go back, the lag will stick.
Why is everyone on xda so damn quick to bash people for asking questions?

just like the two guys above me said...i have my reasons to ask...and again if you cant help then do not comment...i am not waiting for people like you to help...i am not new here...and every time i ask something they answer....

Installing a theme causes a bunch of lag during the install process itself (under the covers there are like 20 apks getting installed). I've always applied themes right after installing them, so any for any lag after that it's hard to say if it's left over from the install or is from the application. In any case, after a reboot I haven't noticed any lag.

how long do you have your phone? because on pocketnow.com they said there S6 started lagging after a week with a theme...and they made a poll about this...they think its because of the themes....

yellowish tone white
Did you compare your screen white with an edge . . ! ! Can you test it and tell me about the whites if there is yellow tone

how to STOP tomtom resetting system clock

Hi, I have a HTC Touch 3G, aka HTC Jade running WM6.1.
I am running Tomtom Navigator 7.9 which works fine.
I always like to set my clocks a few minutes faster than the official time (as a habit to stop me running late...)
However every time I use Tomtom, it acquires the GPS official time, and resets my HTC's system time without asking! It's quite annoying for me. Is there any way I can avoid this? Apart from manually changing the time every time after I've used TomTom?
as a fix, can I run some sort of auto script so I can run a shortcut to make system clock go forward by 5 minutes?
any suggestions would be great. thanks!

Hmmmm,
Even if u don't like his answer, u'll have to live with it... u can't stop TT from resetting ur clock. Navigation is all about timing. If u have ur clock ahead, u can't get a fix cos TT will see the signal from the GPS as 'too late' and ignore them.

TomTom resetting my clock! HTC - Touch HD
I notice from other people's comments that this may not be a possibility but I am in the UK and therefore in BST, now, when I load TomTom it sets my clock back one hour... this is not something that I can make my brain tell me it's an hour difference - especially when doing a several hour trip and I feel like i'm an hour late! any ideas?

[NO ROOT][DEV] IncredibleTorch

I've been working on a flashlight app for non-rooted phones. I have been able to recreate the one that costs $0.99 (I think? I'm not exactly sure, I don't own it.). Sadly, I have the same flaw. I can't get it to exit correctly, so you have to reboot. I'm still working on it, and haven't quite given up (although I think I have concluded this exploits a higher level bug that I just can't control).
6/17/10 - I think I've concluded there is no way to shut it off. I believe this is a bug in the camera software that allows this to happen. A method just hangs forever. (All of this is I think ) Sorry guys, you probably wont see anything better (w/o root).
Change log:
Alpha rev1 - Initial release
Click to expand...

Known bugs:
You can't use the camera after running this and can only use it once! (until you've rebooted, it's not permanent )

Download APK
Download src.tar.gz because who doesn't love open source?
Wow. Good job dude. I know its finicky but you usually only need the flash light to stay on. Oh well on the reboot to turn off. You'll figure it out. Really good job man.

Woo hoo, at least one person likes it! I've only gotten put down or no replies elsewhere. haha
I know this isn't fantastic or anything, but it's better than nothing in my eyes.
anything that helps the community is always appreciated. So ty very mucho
Yea I tried the same thing. Stuck at the exact same problem.
I am by no means an expert Android dev, but I have tons of .NET experience. I used the example in the SDK, then just added the parameters to turn on the LED when taking a picture. Then it freezes and it goes to hell from there.
I tried threading/etc. No luck, I stopped working on it. Plus now there is the root, so why not just do that and use the Lamppu Application.
Thanks for trying anyways
That's exactly where I am! takePicture just freezes after a few pictures I believe. I also tried threading, no luck.
But I don't have .NET experience, I'm just a noob.
Yeah, I know now there's root Lamppu is better, but I'm personally not rooted. I figured I'd just release it because no one else has except the guy who is trying to sell it... which is just rude lol.
werd ~!~ 10 more
thanks for trying on the app though! it just confirms that I need to get root on me phone! I dont know why ppl would bash your for contributing..fail/succeed..we all benefit. It's only from attempts that we learn how things work..im sure anyone in root dev can confirm that!

Wuddup Freshly? I haven't seen you since back in the day on the Cyanogenmod MT3G forums.
Anyways, I think the problem he is referring to is when you go to hang up, the screen just stays black (g-sensor not working correctly) instead of the screen lighting up to hit end. I've seen the screen light up but not respond when taking the phone away from your ear also. Let's hope these bugs get taken care of very soon with an OTA, along with many others.
An unlocked BL would be better so I can fix these little problems myself but I'm not holding my breath to receive it soon.

[REQ]Extended Power Menu

I've seen many roms with extended power menus including the ability to reboot into normal, recovery, download, etc modes. I'd like to see something like this on the O3D/Thrill.
Any dev's out there wanna give this a shot?
BUMP: Anyone want to at least point me in the correct direction for framework, i can do the work myself, bit of a learning curve but why not become a dev right?

I can get the phone to boot, but when pulling up the Power Menu, it soft reboots.

What are you using as a base for the framework? I'm considering using gingebread for the o2x, but i'm not sure if this particular piece is processor dependent. I'm a newbie but I do believe that since every other phone has it why can't ours.
This phone is great it just lacks LG's / development support. Acura and Thaiz are doing a great job though, I'm just thinking if we can contribute something that would make their roms that much better.

[Q] How can I definitively remove this tiresome bug ??

Hi, I am new on forum and on Nexus S, but not with ROMS
I love this phone, but since I bought it, I have a strange bug. Maybe it appears because I did with "rom toolbox pro" a full backup of apps on another smartphone (acer liquid metal) and now I restored all apps on Nexus S.
this is the bug: sometimes (normally when I'm writing a message, or simply using virtual keyboard) it appear the "open as..." window, where I can choose to open it with gosms pro or gmail.
I tried to open it with both programs, and after this window, on gosmspro the text message is about the bug report, with 2 attached files: 1 .txt files with description of bug (but it's too long, approx 4 mb of .txt!!!) and 2 a .jpg screenshot of bug (but in the image there is simply the lock screen).
In gmail it appears the same thing. But I can't understand where is the problem or where the bug starts, so I ask you how can I find it.
I tried also to uninstall some apps (like gosms, also deleting app data) but without progresses.
If you like it, i can post the screenshot of the bug, or also the .txt or .jpg files in the bug report.
Now I'm using the CM10 , and I had the same problem with Skank ROM.
Please help me, I never found an answer on the web to this tiresome bug. : /
thanks guys and thanks for your BIG work !!!

Wipe data and start fresh. That's what you get for backing up apps. Bugs.

Yes good idea but I would found another road first to do that: I' ll lose at least 2 hours re-installing everything.....
oh, another problem doing manual installations: all saves will be lost! so I prefer to show you .txt files for now....I think you ' ll understand

Absolutely. But from experience, it's a good idea to wipe clean once in a while. I usually do it every few months to keep the problems at bay. Sometimes you'll spend more time trying to fix an issue than it would take you to restart from anew, and even if you end up fixing it that's only an issue you see. You aren't fixing udnerlying problems...
So does anything actually crash or is it just this that pops up?

uhm, at the beginning i had 5-6 crashes, but I'm sure that it was linked to the overclock. In fact, when I put 1200 mhz, I was a noobie in that (because I came from smartphones that NEED overclock to have a fluid and rapid system), and when I reset it to 1000 mhz, it never did me another crash no more.
So yes, the bug is only this popup. I know isn't a little bug, but with the passing of times, it appears more and more times, so it's tiresome.
ah, few seconds before bug, the phone vibrate 3 times (everytime).
I'm using a plastic gel cover.
ah, another little thing that I hear yesterday for the first time: the front speaker at the top, sometimes (also 2-3 times in a minute, don' t know if it do that always, as in lock screen) do a very low sound repeated for few seconds (it's hard to explain this, it seems a radio frequency as "toctoctoctoctoc")...sorry for this onomatopea but maybe its' helpful for understanding what I mean
...any news from the .txt that I sent you ?
Take off your case for a whole day, don't put it on your phone. Tell me if it still happens during that day.
I can nearly assure you, up to 99.9%, that your problem will stop.
I know it sounds crazy, but do it. You can thank me later.

OMG that was the problem !??!?
Incredible!!
my last smartphone had similar problem (microphone of acer liquid metal won' t work well with case)!!
but now the case seems to create a worst problem!! I can' t believe that this simple accessories can made theese problems ( considering that technology should give us better phones in every kind of way)....
NEWS : today, for the first time, telephone crashes 2 times: it never happens since my last OC (2 weeks ago) !!
I hope that case was problem for bug and also crashes!!

Tell me if the bugmailer problem seems fixed after using it for a while.
Edit: I don't believe the crashes are related however. I'll tell you the magic behind the bug mailer after you tell me if it's fixed!
ok I'll say you in 2 days!
however, for crashes, I think I did a bull**** using a bad app called "cache fixer", because I used to free memory with my old phone.
If I see crashes again, I' ll wipe the phone.
OMG!!! you seems to have reason (fortunately) !!!
I'm nearly sure to have fixed this, now I wanna know the magic trick!!
How a technologic phone can be shocked by a simple plastic gel ?!?!
I guess that answer it's or the semi-pressure of volume/on-off buttons, or somethink linked to the temprature (with cover it increases). Right ?
Other things: for now, no other crashes, but the strange silent rumor on the top of the headspeaker sometimes appears. Can the phone record this low sound on the top? So you ' ll understand what I mean...
for now... thanks!!

Your phone case presses on VOL +, VOL - and POWER all at the same time. That's a developper feature.
You can "disable" it by turning off USB debug but I highly suggest either fixing your case if possible or getting another one that doesn't press those buttons for no reason.
Edit: I have no idea what you are talking about for the other issue though.
