Unresponsive Apps (Talk, Chrome, Settings) - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't be the only one with this problem.
The past few days, when switching between Talk and Chrome, and sometimes in Settings also, the app i've just gone into will get stuck for a little longer than it should.
Talk, for example, when i first switch over to it, the whole talk window will just be empty/blank, with the text box all the way at the bottom. When i try to select the text box so i can start typing, it'll take up to 20-30 seconds to pull the (stock) keyboard up, and then it will FINALLY show the chat that i already had going.
Chrome, OTOH, has just been slowing way down, compared to the first ~week or so. Blank screens, non-responsive address bar, "App not responding/force close prompts"...
Mine is still all stock, don't think i have any jacked-up apps or settings on it, so i'm not sure why the past few days it has been so crappy.

anything?

no issues with chrome, but gtalk has been generally unresponsive for me the last few days

**Work around/solution: Select to clear all data in the application settings for the browser
- Loss of functionality -
Email App/Widget

I am expiriencing a very bad performance of SenseUI after upgrading to froyo. Everything is slower than it was before?
very bad performance if I use live wallpapers.
thats all for now^^
The browser has a few issues - when a page is still loading, there is a refresh button instead of a stop button, and copy and paste is very buggy.

I think it would be best if users post what ROM they're using...
But back on topic: Sometimes my sense restarts with no error report/popup whatsoever...
All my alarms were resetted... Could be just my phone, I dunno, but quite annoying if I hadn't noticed
All my alarms where reset aswell....but that's not a big problem to me. What is, is that also my entire agenda/calendar was wiped. :/
And it does seem froyo is loading stuff (like picture preview tiles, app lists, setting menus, the folder list in 'Pictures' app, etc.) a lot slower then eclair. And I'm not even running an animated wallpaper.
Let's go!
- Although Froyo is way faster for everthing, sometimes (i mean often!) my phone starts to slow down and i've unfortunately to reboot my phone..
- The music app has become resistant to task killers (at least on my phone). Probably like a bacteria to antibiotics??
Some surprises:
- Fonts are more beatiful to read, especially the text under icons (that striked me when I just updated)
-My greys are not pinkish anymore!!!
- Fonts on the SMS app are a bit bigger and it's really better (but the textfield is not as beautiful as before), and we have photos like on handcent on the conversations list.
I will not list everthing because there is a topic on the desire forums but i hadn't read that.
As I have mentioned in my thread everything works fine for me howeverwhen called or trying to call the other side does not hear my voice

same here its slower then before...also app drawer is laggy.
Try removing the live backgrounds, it works like a charm without it.
Go around the loss of push email by installing a non HTC phone's mail.apk.
I have the 2.1 Milestone and it works beautifully.

Im running the de-branded UK Vodafone Froyo ROM and honestly have to say there are no issues with speed at all. Even with live wallpapers running, all homescreens remain fast and smooth, as does the app drawer.
I did do a fresh install however with a full wipe, I then used TitaniumBackup to restore alarms, SMS messages, etc when done
Did not wipe or factory reset, just installed froyo. Everything works fine. No speed issues, my weather started working correct again, push mail works fine. And after living with sms bug for one whole day, i'm very happy to say it's gone... So suprisingly nothing to complain about yet.
New day, new bugs.

Wifi Connection
*Issue: An active wifi connection will stop working properly if the phone has been in sleep mode for some time. The wifi connection symbol will still be displayed (and always at the same level of reception (in my case full)) and the email clients will not warn of lack of connection and instead try to sync for ever.
**Work around/solution: Change wifi policy settings in settings - wifi - menu button - advanced from 15 minutes to something else. This might work to some extent, otherwise solution is to disable and re-enable wifi connection.
Hi, one annoying detail after updating: my 'Gmail Unread Count' widget has suddenly started to launch the Gmail app opening the most recent message, instead of opening the inbox.
When I launch Gmail directly from the apps list, it opens the inbox as it should. 'Course this issue is not related to Froyo, but I imagine I'm not the only one dependent on the 'Unread Count' widget. Anyone experiencing the same?

I'm experiencing extreme performance degradation after the upgrade to Froyo!
I'm running an unbranded HTC Legend, stock rom, upgraded via Systems Software Updates OTA, I'm running ADW and Handscent. Other that that, it's stock. (3.15.405.3)
People are complaining that they can't hear me properly! This is the biggest concern I have so far!
Switching between Home Screens is slower, it hangs and it's less responsive. (Swipe, hangs for a second, then moves)
Using the back button to exit apps is very VERY slow. (Handscent is almost unusable)
Opening apps is slower. When pressing app, it zoom towards the screen faster, but hangs afterwards.
Scrolling in almost every app/widget is slow and lags!!!!!!
Entering the lock screen pattern is very slow
Scrolling the app drawer is very slow
It appears it's mostly a scrolling issue?
Another thing is that lock screen does not always work. The screen goes off and when I enable it again, I get right to the first home screen. Ie. no lock pattern. (FOUND IT : It now says "lock screen after 5 minutes"....so I set it to immediately.)
Also using "Gmail Unread Count" widget goes straight to first message, not the inbox. Does not matter if the message is already read.

Try going into the WiFi settings, then press the menu button and choose advanced. You will find WiFi sleep options in here. Choose the second or third option as you see fit. I've not tested it but I think it may solve your problem.

I experienced the slowness briefly, but after rebooting a couple of times it seems fine - if anything actually much faster! Not sure what exactly is causing the problem though...

Atrix Notification drawer hangs

I use Motoblur and no P-ROM. I have been observing since a few days that my notification drawer hangs when i do screen unlock. So when i swype down the screen is hung and unresponsive. However, when I use the capacitive touch buttons it again becomes responsive after few seconds.
Also, the new email notification from the default Motoblur email client is now shown as a blank space in the notification bar.
I don't know what has changed in the few days, as phone is hanging too much and going for quite often reboots. I never had reboot issues earlier. Can someone help me find the culprit.

Anupam
Which Atrix version/Carrier?
Have you installed any 3rd party apps lately?
Honestly, you're probably looking at a factory reset of you haven't done/installed anything unusual recently...
I am on At&t Atrix 4.1.83 and on o2-de.
I had installed few third party apps but I uninstalled all of them, fearing they might have been causing things to hang.
I feel the culprit is the email client, because the notification bar hangs on new email notification. Is there any other way except factory reset. It will take a long time for me to setup everything again.

I had the problem with the notification bar from the beginning. When i get a new email and I unlock the phone and swipe down the notification bar it doesn't work on the 1. attempt...the second is successful. No idea what causes it....I am on my second Atrix and both had this problem....software glitch I guess...

[Q] Chrome / Blank Screen

Does anyone else get blank screens when loading up Chrome and navigating to a page? It'll do this fairly regularly throughout the day whether I load a bookmark or type something in the address bar or whatever.
I have to close the tab and start up a new one before it starts working again. And then after an hour or maybe less, it'll happen again. Over and over.

I have been getting extreme lag from Chrome on our phones lately. Wonder why.

I get it too. It loads and then stops with the blue bar at about 75%. If you hit the stop loading button at this point the page will appear. Hopefully will be fixed soon..

Long press to forward text not working

I am trying to solve this issue for my mom. She is running completely stock from Verizon. The issue is when she tries to forward a text message from the stock app, it occasionally will not recognize the long press on the text bubble. The issue seems to be intermittent . When I attempted to test the issue, it was having no problems, then I closed all open processes / applications and the problem reappeared.
When I attempt a long press on the text bubble, it will grey out for a split second, then act as if I never touched the screen. However it recognizes the touch to scroll if that makes sense. The problem seems isolated to the text messaging app. A long press in Gmail still will start the copy / paste function.
I pulled the battery and loaded the messaging app first and the problem seems to start from start up. Unless there is a process that loads on startup that I need to make inactive.
Anyone else have a similar issue, or possible solution?

new recent apps behavior

LG-H918, been a great phone. Not rooted, all original.
As of today (first I noticed) when you touch the recent apps square, the various apps appear, and you can scroll through them. Each time I attempt to select whichever app, the phone blanks very quickly and returns to the home screen.
I can clear the apps in the recent apps screen by swiping and using the x.
If I try split screen on apps that are able to use it, the first app appears at the top, and when I try a second, the second blanks and the home screen appears on the bottom half. I then can expand the upper app to fill in the whole screen.
I've repeatedly restarted the phone, and also shut down and removed the battery. No effect.
Is there a setting or something I may have done to cause this?
