Touch screen lag and stuttering notification bar in eb13 - Epic 4G General

Hello everyone, I'm having a few problems with eb13 I havnt seen in any of the bug threads, forgive me if I overlooked. But anyway, compared to di18 the dropdown notification bar is very stuttery and laggy whenever the menu is slid down. I'm also seeing a touchscreen responsiveness delay in any scrolling menu. The fps of the scroll is fine but it seems to take the epic a half a second longer to relize that your finger has moved on eb13. I have flashed the new rom every possible way, odin, samsungs exe, update.zip from di18. It also applies to every eb13 custom rom I've tried so far as well as the stock rom, but not the miui rom or cyanogen beta1. I'm just curious to see if anyone else is seeing the same problem as me or if its just my phone. Thanks for any input, this is driving me crazy.

I'm not having this problem. Currently using supernova with ext4. Wasn't on stock long enough to test it.

im not getting alot of panning lag. Seems the same as eclair. But the stop down drawer is jerky and stutters alot. Eclair was very smooth, don't know why froyo does that. I mentioned it several times when the initial leaks were available. Pretty much ppl said that its beta so most likely it will be better on the official release. Well... Here we are.. Still jerky.

ever since eb13 I have noticed way too many fingerprints on my screen

Nope. My phone flies. Running SuperNova w/ Gingerbread theme on EXT4.

both of those issues seem to me to be the difference between a set rate or maybe a couple that the dropdown and the app list move at... on DI18. It seems froyo is more responsive to what your finger actually does, than just go 'ok, drop down at X rate'... could be just me... most roms I have tried are awesome that way... I like that its really responsive.... like the dropdown for example, if you slide your finger up 1/3 of the way, if follows the speed of your finger, pull away at that point and it continues at a set speed... I kind of like it... it seems like the stutter is where your finger leaves the screen, if I go all the way to the top, as fast at I can with my thumb in a normal grip on the phone, it does seem like it could use some framerate, or maybe its hitting little increments along the way... idunno... I like it better to be able to throw it up there fast than watch it nice and smoothly take a second.
for the record, on midNIGHT ROM, Genocide Kernel, 200-1200 on SetCPU, conservative scaling- dont remember stock EB13 being too much different in this particular case...

While I don't seem to get lag when scrolling, when it's not plugged in, it does take a second or so for the power button to register a press and wake the phone up.
Oddly enough, when plugged in, it turns on instantly.

Gallery Lag in JI6

Has anyone noticed some serious lag in the stock gallery after updating to JI6? Anyone know if there is a fix for this?
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ive noticed it but do not know a fix for it. For some reason the CPU spikes a ton when opening the gallery. Sometimes it just freezes completely on my phone. maybe 1/6 times it does that.
I haven't seen any lag. I updated with Odin.
I also used OCLF app to root, lag fix and other tweaks. Installed clockworkmod recovery
My Vibrant is so damn fast now it's not even funny
i have the same lag in JI5
Mostly it hanged when u first open it..quite annoying
Yes. same here. Rooted and one click lag fix applied. it seems to be the only thing that lags right now.
YES i thought it was my vibrant but i guess not.
it freezes when you try to open it and its annoying!
I believe this really needs to be fixed. Its totally uneeded that a simple thing like the gallery causes me to reboot my vibrant when i jusy want to look at a damn PICTURE!!!!

*Had updated to JI6 via kies mini*
After a fresh reboot, the gallery opens w/no prob. 2nd & 3rd time-it'll lag for a while and the 4th + time, it's time for another reboot. Anyone have any suggestions for an alt gallery app?
Had absolutely no prob with the gallery prior to the update.

I have the same lag here too for some reason....almost seems like phone is freezing up loading the thumbnail images.....never happened before JI6 update, I do have OCLF V2 running and everything else is super fast....
Note: I was not running OCLF after going to JI6, i noticed the gallery lag then ran the lag fix but no change...
Wow this is my first time experiencing this after installing ji6. Never had this problem before on stock jfd and on eugenes roms.
Sent from Samsung Vibrant
I cringe now when I want to show someone something from my gallery.. Is this happening on every device? I had originally thought it may be something from me being rooted and with a lag fix.
Mine lags on the gallery and when I open the apps folder(section). If I start typing long messages it will stop and be a word or two behind. GPS is useless again and will even be a block or two behind where I am when I'm moving. The GPS says that I have a lock on 5-7 sats and the accuracy is only down to 3-500 feet this is why its a block behind.
today I turned on the map app while I was walking and it would have my speed at one mile per hour and then stop completley and a minute later it would show me at ten miles per hour to catch up. Its like it refreshes every 30 seconds to a minute so the accuracy suck.
This phone is really beginning to become a pain. and it definetly is not worth what I paid for it.
I've been facing the same issue. Just installed Bionix 1.9 stock and it's much better since..
a friend of mines who also updated to ji6 stated that it's becasue of the ji6's new task manager. he said that the lag only happens when he just killed all the apps. he said when ever he disables or chooses not to use the task manager, the lag goes away. so far this has worked for me.
I've had issues with the Gallery in JI6 on occasion so far. It usually freezes for a few minutes or less, only one time did I have to completely pull the battery.
Now as far as what ryan562 said his friend stated it's with the new task manager, I am not dismissing the possibility with that at all. But with my issues, I am not even using the Task Manager that came with JI6 nor does it run in the background/etc.
I'm not going to lose sleep over the small issue here, at least with me. I am waiting patiently for 2.2 Froyo and I'm sure things will be fine with it there when it's finished.
I'm not only getting lag in gallery, but bad lag sometimes in swype

Liberated R12 vs FR007

Hi everyone,
I would like to hear what changes you noticed if you have made the transition from Liberated R12 to Liberated FroYo FR007.
I don't know anything about kernels, setcpu or stuffs like that — I'm just a regular fella who love coffee and just made a proper installation of FR007 2 days ago and reverted back to R12 today because:
1. I noticed that its' performance is a tad slower (I think).
2. eBuddy kept crashing, mostly after the phone goes to sleep.
3. Wi-fi network stopped after phone goes to sleep (but it was already noted in the thread to download FR007).
4. Responsiveness isn't quite as nimble (ie. swiping between homescreens, launching apps, connecting to networks, etc).
5. It hangs quite a bit
While it may have some drawbacks, there are also some nice things that came with the FR007 ROM, most noticeably:
1. Better UI interfaces
2. More options in some features/settings
3. Cooler OS name (what's cooler than Frozen Yogurt?)
I bet there are much more powerful stuff and greater potential in the FR series that most regular users like myself won't understand, and that this is just the precursor/preview to a stable version. However at the moment it's R12 vs FR007.
So at the moment I'm going to stick with R12 and patiently wait for future releases of the FR series.
What are your observations? Thanks for sharing!
Each to their own! I'm using FR007 on my Aria which was purchased in USA and the only problem I have is sometimes the Weather Widget sometimes hangs. That's all.
I, too, am running FR007, however my ebuddy hasnt crashed at all for me. I do notice a little bit of lag swiping homescreens but having a LWP on would affect that for sure.
i havent noticed a hang unless im tryin to multitask several apps around.
Those are pretty small issues for me for my previous phone was the Hero CDMA.. and this is like a million times better.
I agree with most of what you're saying. I've been using FR007 for a while now, but I feel like it's a little slower than R012 was. I turned off the LWP and I'm using LauncherPro, but it skips and jerks a little more than R012 did on homescreens.
Still debating whether I want to switch back, I just don't want to not have Froyo on there. I do like the apps and features that Froyo provides (Gmail upgrade, etc)

WiFi sleep policy may be defaulted to "After 15 minutes". Look into Menu>Settings>Wireless & networks>Wi-Fi settings>Menu>Advanced>WiFi sleep policy. That is one buried setting!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts everyone.
I am still running on R12 and everything is running smooth as a babys' butt! Gonna keep rocking with this at the moment.

I believe that Liberated FRxx ROM is waiting for HTC to release the 2.6.32 Froyo kernel source for the Aria/Gratia to see how to fix the trackball wake issue.
The trackball wake is working in CM 6.1 RC2.

[Q] keyboard backlight glitch

Me and others have an issue where when the keyboard is left open, and the screen and keyboard goes black, the keyboard backlight will flash on and off randomly.. I wonder if it does that while the keyboard is closed as well and noone is noticing it? Any ideas?
I'm not thinking it does cuz I've tesed that by sliding it just enough so it doesn't switch orientation and then letting it lock and it didn't flash at all but withit opened locked itflashes randomly not even at set times just when it feels like it

Does this happen on a stock setup? If not, which ROM are you using?
This should be in General also.
Id if it does it on stock but th first times I started noticeing it was when I stared using the froyo roms and I'm running the stock dk17 by konane and the dk17 modem

I am using the most up to date quantum rom package, I put it in dev because several in irc also have the issue and thought maybe it could be a battery issue if left unfixed, I will watch it in the dark in a little bit and see if its always happening and will report back
I just tried testing this and had no back light issues(watched it for about 10 min.). I am stock with root, running launcher pro.
Not seeing any light while it is closed, it does it at regular intervals when open, almost like its polling. Using screen timeout of 1 minute and keyboard timeoutof 15 seconds
I am using the Froyo DJ29 Leak. stock kernal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836111
I have this issue as well.
If close the phone, the keyboard will NOT blink. i can peep between the phone and do not see any extra lighting.
my screen is set to 15sec timeout and i do not see the option to do keyboard timeout, i did on the 2.1.
I too had this issue when I switched to the first leaked 2.2 ROM. I had it on every ROM I have flashed EXCEPT: VIPERrom IMPact 2.3. I just read this thread, and thought damn I had this issue, then went to check the ROM I just flashed early this morning and it seems to be gone... I had it on the VIPERrom 2.2, but not the 2.3 based on DK17 modem and kernel.
Have we found any solutions for this?
I've been having these problems with DK17 (stock, and any ROM);
Now I've upgraded to DK28 Froyo and I thought this problem would go away, but low and behold my keyboard backlight still turns on and off randomly when I leave the keyboard slid out.

DK28, The Good And Bad

Even though its certain this isn't the official release, I thought we should condense the topics and just post the your thoughts about the good and bad features this update provides.
Ill start..dk28 isn't that awful for me like others. The only problems I've noted was samsung widgets disappearing sometimes, home screen rotation lag, and a few checkers showing up in the browser when zooming in and out.
However, on the bright side, flash is very smooth, and there are better icons

GPS fubared?
No notification when charging usb
Hey guys i recently started having a problem with the back button.it will pick up half the time and then its unresponsive the time any ideas on what i can do?
Probably just lag. Which way did you flash dk28?
Btw, I came up with some other things.
1. Notfications are delayed (ex. Handcents icons in the top bar are sometimes delayed)
2. Keyboard delayed (its actually a bit worse than before)

Same here, I guess a few of us got lucky. Just very small things such as checker boarding. I don't have homescreen lagg though, or widgets that disappear.

GPS actually finally works for me with the update, I'm getting signal indoors in places I hadn't previously and it has yet to time out and require me to reflush the agps data or reboot the phone (used it all day today for work).

Not seeing this one either, lets me know right away though the notification bar as per usual.
However I am experiencing one very odd piece of behavior, If I open the phone to show the keyboard, turn off the screen and leave it sitting ... the keyboard LED blinks constantly. I'm not sure if it's an app of mine conflicting or froyo itself but it's fairly annoying.

I personally went back to 2.1, rock solid and stable.
On 2.2, Screen rotation is slow as molasses, GPS is stuck on my work location and would not work at all in updating. Browser was a bit slower compared to 2.1. Hated the scattered, non-alphabetical applications folder, wtf?!!
I enjoyed the 2.2 leak but the little niggles weren't enough to stay on it.
I did like the coloured menus, and the ability to turn off 3G when holding the power button for a few secs.
I keep getting errors when connecting to Wifi. I will look down at the phone and wifi will be off even though i never turned it off, and then the notification toggle wont do anything, and when I go into settings to enable it, it says "error" underneath the Wifi entry. Then it takes a few tries to get it connected again.
I do like where Froyo is headed, but this is absolutely no where near polished enough for final release.
Edit: Having a fully working GPS is awesome though. 2 meter accuracy = Awesome.
Does anyone else have lag when trying to adjust brightness on the notification bar?

I've noticed since 2.2 that when a caller hangs up, I get a single beep in my bluetooth earpiece confirming that the call has ended, which I like...didn't have any sound before that.
Anyone else having trouble hanging up during a phone call? I hit the damn End button at least 3-4 times before it decides to hang up.
I must be one of the lucky few, everything works great, and not only that it fixed all the issues I had with the previous 2.1 build. I've tried out just about everything I can think of wifi, gps, 4g, pandora, etc.
edit: Should add, I did a factory reset after I installed it, wiped everything the only bit I loaded back in was contacts.

Give the phone a few secs after the screen comes back on then press it. Works fine; if you immediately press it.. it doesn't hangup. Seems intentional..
Umm.. aside from no GPS now which I plan to fix by reflashing di18 then 2.2... I don't find any major problems. The keyboard does have a bit of a registration flaw but not too major..
The leds do light up whenever the screen is off.
And I don't think the brightness sensor likes my room light because it enjoys changing itself a bit.

I have noticed the Sammy widget thing and the slow screen rotations but I was intrigued by your bug. So I tried it. Definitely happened. I wouldn't say 'blinks constantly' though. At least not in my case. It flashed on for about 2-3 seconds every 30 or so seconds. Maybe even as long as a minute. Caught me off guard. I watched it for a bit then went back to reading this thread only to have it happen out of the corner of my eye.

Woah, just tried it. I had similar results. However, I opened the keyboard, let the flash disappear, then 2-3 seconds later it came back. And stayed there too, for about a minute or so!
Not really a big deal in my opinion; I honestly don't use the keyboard often due to its laginess..

Laggy app drawer on stock 3.2?

Has anyone else had problems with a very choppy app drawer on Acer's official 3.2 update as well as all Acer 3.2-based roms? Usually, it starts out very smooth. Then, after a second or two, it gets really slow.
