On Froyo whenever I use an app for a bit like the browser then retun to the home screen, it doesn't show any icons and appears frozen for a few seconds untill I shows them again about 5 seconds later. Is anyone else expierencing this issue?
Yes, happens to me sometimes too, kinda annoying.
I can get it to happen every time i send a text with the keyboard then while the text is sending, pressing the home button will yield a blank launcher for 3-4 seconds.
Its happened to me occasionaly. I just pressed the home button and they reappeared. Also, sometimes my Samsung widgets disappear and i have to readd them

Happens to me also. This also happens when you pull out the keyboard, it takes a few seconds for all the icons to show up on the landscaped screen.
Stuff like this makes me wonder if this isn't actually a finalized release of Froyo...
I agree. With all there bugs it makes.you a bit weary about whether or not this is official.
If it is, there better be an udate soon

Does the same for me. I don't have many of the problems everyone else is having, but I hope this isn't the official release.

Guys, did you flash froyo using clockwork? I just flashed froyo onto my sisters epic using the .tar and odin. Hers isn't having these beta issues my phone is having
I think this is due to the Epic 4g getting a Touchwiz update (3.0 now, I think) with the Froyo update. Originally, the new Touchwiz wasn't included because it didn't have a landscape mode. Now, it's got a slow landscape mode. I think it's the phone trying to recache the home screen or something.
Perhaps someone can figure out how to lock Touchwiz into portrait mode or something
I also have had the blank home screen... That and the horrible lag switching from portrait to landscape (when it switches) and the apparent lack of landscape unless the keyboard is extended or I'm in the "settings" menu are the only problems I've seen so far.
I use launcher pro... no home screen lag at all
Getting this same problem with Froyo, incredibly annoying. Any fix?
well, one of the fixes is to go with a different launcher, like launcher pro, as said in a post above
Can I remove the Touch Wiz Launcher and use launcher pro instead? Will anything stop functioning if I remove TWLauncher?
Hi. I recently tried to find out from the LauncherPro forum if there is a way to rectify a lag problem when using Live wallpaper and the app drawer but apparently there is just no way? I'm having trouble believing and thought I'd post it here.
Basically, if using a live wallpaper, the app drawer is REALLY choppy/laggy and skips frames. I was thinking perhaps if there is a way to "pause" the LWP or something like that when pulling the app drawer.
This is the original topic from the LauncherPro forum:
http://launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1890
The very reason I stopped using LiveWallpapers.
All fine and dandy showing off when iPhone users are around, but disabling LWP brings my TAB back to silky smooth operation.
When I slide out the keyboard at the home screen after having installed the Froyo release (didn't reflash - just straight install, most of it has been wonderful), it takes about 20 seconds for the icons to reappear. In the meantime, TW seems to have crashed. If I tap the apps icon, it noodles around for about 10 seconds before display the apps.
When I close the keyboard, same mess. If I continuously open and close the slider, it gets much faster, but is anyone else experiencing this? I cleared TW storage, and while it sped up almost instantly, as soon as I added my icons back (almost no widgets), it's back to crazy slowness.
This did NOT happen with DI28 and earlier. I'm running EB13 stock, non-root.
try doing the horizontal screen calibration tool under display settings, but with your phone upside down instead. Just hang the bottom part slightly off the edge of a table and tap calibrate with the screen facing down. It might help

I tried that earlier today - no help.
No lag at all for me. I used the exe. You have any widgets that might be causing the problem. Mine is instant.

Anyone have any fixes? It's dramaticaly slowed down my use of the phone. TW literally crashes every time I pull out the keyboard. I have to open an app first before I switch, and homescree google searches are now pointless.

DING DING DING. I think you got it. In my case it seems to be the weatherbug widget. When I delete the widget, the icons reappear almost instantly.
Who still uses TW? Honestly

First of all, it doesnt matter. Second of all, TW is alot nicer after update
Sent from my never been rooted, stock Froyo Epic.
Wiped with the EXE. Worked fine for a while, but after adding 8 icons (no widgets), it does the same thing again. I don't think I've installed anything that runs with background services, so I have no idea what the problem is... no problems when I use ADW, but I'd rather not hog an extra 26MB of RAM...
I'm afraid I jumped the gun on declaring mine cured. When first rotating after closing an app, the delay is still there, but then subsequent rotations are immediate . . . until I run the next app. It is faster without the widget, but not cured.

@Mike, I have no accelerometer-based rotation lag. Accelerometer-based switching is instantaneous. Only when I pull out the keyboard does TW take forever. Can you please confirm which problem the fix addresses? Thanks.
Folks, I posted a poll. I want to see how bad this problem is. For the record, I have the Google Search widget, and 16 icons (3 of them folders) on my main screen. 2 other icons on side screens, no widgets.
That worked for me!
Minor update: I removed EVERY icon on my screen, and it's now switching instantly. It doesn't seem to like folders at all. I'm slowly adding icons to see where the tipping point is... I had about 20 icons in one folder, perhaps it didn't like that. Annoying, because TW 2.5 worked perfectly in that regard.
Even more updates: Touchwiz *hates* the Angry Birds icons. It's causing a nightmare of a switching delay as soon as I add the icons. Should I just switch to ADW or LauncherPro? Any particular pros/cons to each one?
i get a lag when i go to landscape when im texting
the upside down trick worked for me

Does this bug happen to anyone else? It has happened twice since I installed Gingerbread.
not me! never seen anything like that. Reflashed? full wipe? try different rom?
I couldn't replicate it
Also can't replicate it.
That has happened to me once. I just had to open an app then press the home button and everything worked fine again. Not sure how to replicate the glitch though.

You can't replicate it, it's random. I just touched the screen to show that touchscreen is calibrated correctly.
I haven't seen that on my N1, but this also isn't the first time I have heard of this problem.
My theory is it is some app people have installed causing the flickering...
What if you factory reset the device? Does it still do it then?
Some people were reporting graphic glitches in the launcher after running Angry Bird Seasons. I haven't used that one yet, just regular Angry Birds.
Never tried on the stock launcher but the same thing happened to me 80% of the time with LauncherPro when i used 3D drawer (the same effect as on stock launcher)
Since i disabled it (3D drawer effect) everything work fine.
ive had this issue, it seems to be only with the stock OTA, im not sure how it happened but i can attest to this being a bug that happens to a n1 with full wipe and nothing on it.

same for me
Yes.
I used to disable all the animation for my N1.
after upgrade to 2.3.3, it happened twice.
I thought it is the issue of the animation, maybe.
So, I enable all the animation.
After that, I never see this problem.
I've never had this issue. Only thing close is when I go from the 3d app drawer to the home screen my analog clock widget kinda flickers a little, that's the only flickering I've seen on 2.3.3.
Note: this is also random, can't replicate it most of the time.
Yup this happened to me once. And it was after I closed one of the angry birds game. I think it's because closing apps no longer bring you back to the homescreen but to the app drawer. Android probably had some problem re-rendering the app drawer.
I had to go into settings menu and exit for the flickering to go away. I've gone back to CM7 because it's actually more stable than stock gingerbread after what I've seen so far.

Nope. I just opened the app drawer, launches AB Seasons, played a game, exited it, exits back to App drawer, everything is still working fine, no flickering...
Yes I get the same thing after launching angry birds seasons from the app drawer only and not if I launch from the home screen
Same for me 2. After reboot its ok.

I have a slightly different problem with the 3D app drawer in LPP. I can flick and it scrolls down, but when I grad to flick again, it jumps back up to the top. I can only get part way down the drawer, and I can't open an app. Non-3D works fine.
I have something similar. But not the same. When I close out of any app I just have my background only. Nothing else. After a minute UI shows back up. When I go into settings, I get a black screen until I I swipe my phone up and down.

I've had the Launcher icons not appearing straight away numerous times.
After the last update of my note 3 (firmware N9005XXUGNG1) i started having problems with system animations. I use nova launcher with custom app opening animations, but when i open an app which is already in my recent app list, the system stock animation is played instead. This doesn't happen if i run the app after having closed it and also if i return to the homescreen and reopen the same app twice. If i do so, the custom animation is played.
The issue is found also in the recent app list itself: if i go to the multitasking menu and reopen the app i'm using, a nice animation of the app is played, with the screen inflating the app from its preview. But then, if i jump to another app from the same menu, the animation is skipped and the app is opened from the center of the screen. This makes the UI look ugly and so buggy.
Is anyone having the same issue? Is there any fix?
