[Q] Metro Screen Animation - Windows 8 General

So I enabled the flipping in animation every time I hit the windows key but there's a slight delay before anything happens and it shows just the background and then maybe .5-1 second later everything comes in. How can I make it so there is little to no delay?
Thanks

Anyone?? Should I post this in the development/hacking board?

In-Call screen timeout

Anyone know how to change the in-call screen timeout? I think it's like 5 seconds right now. Maybe like 10 or 15 seconds would be a little more practical.

Not sure but it times out so you can put it up to your face while your talking on it without the touch screen freaking out on us so i sincerely doubt there is any way to change it.

yeah but trying to navigate voicemail is a PITA... I did find the button that keeps the thing "live/on" while plugged into power... that at least is nice.

I'm not having this problem at all so I wasn't sure what people were referring to. However, I discovered that my sister was having the same problem described here and on other forums. Her phone would timeout within a second or two and it was extremely annoying to her. So off I went trying to help her.
Short Answer: Reboot the phone via the red/power key.
Long Answer: After several hours of troubleshooting with no luck I had her reboot the phone by holding down the red key and choosing to "Power off". Then hold the red key again to turn on the phone. After that it seems the problem went away. I've had her do other things but I'm not sure it was relavent so I'll stop here and see if this helps anyone else.
Huh? This is not a bug that you can simply do away with. The phone is supposed to time out.
On the other hand, I would like the option to adjust the timeout
Screen Backlight Timeout during a call
Is there a way to adjust the screen backlight timeout during a phone call? My timeout is set for 2 minutes, but during a call the screen shuts off so fast it does not let me dial extensions etc, and then pressing menu to light up, then menu to unlock then menu to bring up the keyboard, its kind of annoying. I just measured the time, its about 10 seconds.
This question is NOT ABOUT: Screen/Setting/Sound&Display/ScreenTimeout (that one has its own issues too, but this thread is specific to one issue)
Lol I have the same prob when I do phone banking. By the time I've pressed menu
Then flicked the dial buttons back up iam to late to press the button and have to start
Over again. Its really pissing me off now lol.
Adam
Amen... hopefully one of the developers can make this adjustable
Yes, it's one of my main gripes about the phone function.
They really should have made it adjustable independently of the standard timeout time. Because even voicemail prompts are a pain in the rear.
Power Manager
You can pick up the Power Manager application off of the Andoird marketplace. It allows you to modify the amount of time the screen is on during a phone call.

Really? Must be the new version I don't have. I have the first version and it lacks that function.
Thanks for the tip.
I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm having this problem and its really annoying!
I have the touch pro, and the display timeout while talking is like 5 seconds, and then I have to press that top button to get the screen to come back on, and I have to press it like 3 times till it comes back up. Really annoying when I'm pressing numbers with an automated system like voicemail.
Download power manager from the app store. allows you to change in-call time out and a truck load of other things.
If you want to find it on the net here - http://www.cyrket.com/asset/-5688572614148254173
That was driving me crazy - I changed mine to 30 seconds for in call.

issus on the unlock screen

feel lag on when is unlocking. did any one having a same problem with me??
please delete this post...
The unlock swipe would lag for the following reasons:
1. Your wifi was turned on but is off because of screen being off. You turned on the screen which makes the phone re-enable wifi and connect to a network. This process will lag the swipe animation.
2. You used some kind of app (ie. JuiceDefender) that would disable APN (3G) when your screen is off. Turning the screen on again will make the phone to try to reconnect to 3G and this will also lag the swipe animation.
3. You just turned on your phone and because things are still loading at startup, doing the swipe will lag.
Tip: Try to wait for 5 seconds after turning the screen on and then do the swipe motion. It should go back to normal.
If none of that applies to you, do a factory reset =)
this is my second time to hard reset it but still the same.
I often find that swiping doesn't unlock the phone; the arrow won't go all the way to the edge of the screen (it sometimes just stops halfway). When that happens, I press the power button to lock the screen, then try the process again. 9 times out of 10 it'll work fine the second time.
This happens when the WiFi is off, and I am not using any APN software, nor have I just switched the phone on.
It doesn't really bother me, unless this happens when a call comes in, and I can't answer it! (it often takes me a few swipes to answer a call, and I have to swipe it slowly and carefully)

you might have a problem with your screen where some parts wont respond to your touch
download any drawing programs " i find magic marker " is the best from the market place. its free. and tap dots all over your screen, if there is/ are parts that doesnt response to your tap from the first time, that means u have problem with the screen and its not accepting your touch input. which is why your swipe doesnt go all the way sometimes.
Yes there is lag on the unlock screen. I see it as just bad programming by SE.

My swype keep changing direction, anyone nows how to set it to a particular side?
@mirdones - it changes sides when you start with your finger at the top of the swipe arc and slide your phone across the screen (left to right or right to left)..
@everyone - my swipe unlock occasionally stops about 3 quarters of the way along.. all I do is re-swipe from where it stopped and it's fine - that said, it doesn't happen as much now that I have stopped using task killers and startup auditor.
I find that instead of a slow swipe more of a flick works well for me.

manila slow down because of the upper taskbar !

Hi !
I have noted that manila clock animation ( the hours and the minutes animation I mean ) is slowed down a lot when the "3G" icon on the taskbar blink !
I'll try to explain better, the weather and the clock animation start when, for example, you enter in the start menu and you came back to the home screen.
When the animation starts it all goes when but at a certain point the animation got stuck for something like 2 ms and this acutally happne in the very same moment of the blink of the "3G" icon on the upper taskbar. And this is just the lower aspect of this, it happen every time that one of the icon of the upper taskbar blink ( when the wifi is turning on, the bluetooth ecc. ). Is there any way to avoid the blink of the 3G icon at least when I came back from the start menu or from a program, I mean i don't care if this slow down happen when the bluetooth or the wifi is turining on but I would like to avoid this at least for the 3G icon that blink every time that I came back to the home screen !
any help ?

i get this too. i think if you turn off the animations, that stops the dimming. im not sure about the weird fuzzy stuff though. to be honest, it's never bothered me that much

[Q] Unlocking To Contacts Glitch/Scrambled Screen For 2 Seconds?

Hi guys i seem to have a problem which i cant figure out where its coming from. This is my second device that does this, basically sometimes after i unlock the screen i get a glitch or scramble on bottom half of the screen for about 1-2 seconds, mostly when it unlocks to the contacts or call log tab.
At first i thought its because i had disabled the transition animations and window animation scale in developer mode but it did it after i set them back to default as well.
After i thought its from the light animation on the lockscreen and i disabled that as well but same issue persists.
It only happens 3-4 times per day.
I exchanged my first device because of this and now second one is doing the same. I will try and post a picture later. So is anyone else experiencing this or do i switch again?
