I'm NOT whining: Lag on jp6 Froyo is real (proof)

Check my Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fds9eccI9OA
I did a FR before flashing with Kies, and after flashing. Also did a clean install of all apps and settings and a cache wipe.
maybe 50 pics, 50 mp3s and 100 apps and 4 widgets running.
This video was taken just 15 minutes after a reboot.
Do people consider this whining?
EDIT: Spend 6 minutes looking through the video. The lags gets worse and worse.

That is the worst lag I have ever seen, I understand if you are upset, for me the lag is 1-2 second pauses now and then.
Was it as bad on 2.1?

Looks bad. Anyways try getting rid of the batt app that lets you know of the batt percentage on the notifications tray. I got rid of mine and the phone is much quicker.
Good luck i feel for you buddy.

Something is hogging the cpu.. Or a process is creating a problem. What happens after you clean the memory in the taskmanager? This isn't normal.

Whats the icon in the top right hand corner? And this SHOULD have been posted to the other lag threads.

The icon is just the alarm clock.
Ending all apps does not solve much. The lag returns almost immediately.

Was this lag meant to be so, i mean is it intended to blame the phone? I'm sure this is not normal, and have never seen lag like this. Mostly its 1sec (i know many complain about this) but blink twice and it will load

What apps do you have installed?
And yes, creating your own thread is whining.. This thread should be marked as a duplicate..

Sorry, but I have to disagree. I think this is relevant enough to put in a separate thread.
My apps: http://www.appbrain.com/user/borchgrevink/apps-on-the-phone (minus Angry birds)
The lag was almost like this also with jf3 and jm1.
Not many apps running simultaneously, so I don't see the problem...

Not to disparage what you're experiencing there mate but I flashed JP6 yesterday and I can honestly say so far it's been smooth sailing even without any lag-fixes, as opposed to when I was on 2.1 just prior and things were about the same as what you've got here. Did you do a TitaniumBackup restore or anything?

Hmmmm, the only thing I can think of (and this'll probably sound silly) but you might want to try without a SIM in it. I remember people with Milestones having damaged/faulty SIMs which would cause their phones to slow right down.
Also, sorry but I have to admit I got a good giggle from the fingers tapping at ~4:30 :3

It depends WHAT you are running. In your movie you say stuff like "wow, 5 apps running", but widgetlocker for instance I know slows the phone down a bit.
The number of apps means very little (I can make a computer lag by encoding a video and messing around in photoshop too). It's what you are running that matters. Maybe you should try to work out which applications are causing issues (there is a good reason why I got rid of widgetlocker though).
Anyway, this thread should be closed as a dupe. It doesn't warrant it's own thread, as you aren't a celebrity, and other people have already posted video's onto the existing threads.Your case is no more important than the others.

That's part of the problem, it probably depends on what you are running, so whatever was slowing down your phone significantly before, has probably been reinstalled..

Wasn't running anything after fresh boot. The video is from first screen taps on this freshly booted phone.
EDIT: Removing Widget Locker does not help... Tried that.

here it's unbelievable stable(jpk+oclf+4wks+120apps), guess it was a wise choice not going jp6/m.
But why are there 5 apps active? I have several active widgets but they don't show up as a regular process(es) here.. I'm sure that my phone would lagg too while running 2 games, 2 web browsers and navigational software on the background. =/
I doubt it was acting like this from flash off right?

Do you consider that the hardware may have been damaged!? You have your warranty, get another one .

Well.. That's my point.. Your apps must be doing something that is sucking up your CPU... because I'm running Messaging, Launcherpro, Jabberoid (not listed in active apps), sipdroid (not listed in active apps), and a live wallpaper. I suspect that your apps are possibly running a few things not listed in task manager.. Also, are you running custom widgets (I'm not using any, which might be adding to the jumpiness). I also only have 50 apps.
I have noticed your app list contains MANY custom widgets..
So, I suggest working out what specifically is causing your issues. But I can honestly say I don't get lag like that on my phone..

Well, the apps "running" in task manager are only the six most recent apps. I am only using 4-5 widgets on this video. I have also tried without any widgets. Same problem.
Will get a new replacement phone (have made a deal with Samsung, just waiting for a new one).

Slow Gallery.

Why are the galleries so slow on all android phones? Is there anything that I can do to fix it or is this just a problem I am experiencing?

What class sd card do you have?

I have no idea :s, how can I tell. All I know is that I got the stock 16gb one that my Original Droid came with.

Look at it, does it have a number or a circled number on the card next to the 16gb? If it came with it, it's probably class 2, that's most likely why gallery images load slowly

Yeah it actually is a class 2. So it's an SD card issue? For me it's always random. Like sometimes it'll go super slow and then at other times it'll be pretty decent.

Most likely the class 2 is just too slow to load the pictures fast; so the gallery itself is fast, but it takes a long time to load the images hence the slowdowns

Well honestly, most of the time it's rather fast, but my problem is, is if i get an MMS and I click on it to view it, it'll take FOREVER to load.

Hmm.... MMS isn't on the sd card, so perhaps it's a limitation with the SMS app via the gallery? Or the MMS takes a long time to download

Download quickpic to replace the stock gallery.

Such crappy apps.

I've been trying to find the perfect app for photos (particularly for my Flickr photostream) and what an abysmal lot of apps they are. The only one that seems like it might be good is FlickFolio but you have to pay to find out if it is. There is no free trial version or light version. I've tried nearly all of the free alternatives including Flickr's ofiicial app and that is terrible (Stuck in portrait mode on the tablet until you open a photo fullscreen and then it suddenly allows landscape mode. Exit fullscreen and it is stuck in portrait mode again). JustPics HD is sorta OK but has an issue where it makes the screen go full brightness when you show a photo fullscreen. Also it only shows sets instead of the photostream.
Don't even get me started on the inbuilt photo viewer. Complete garbage (why do I want to see every image stored in my books folder! Sheesh!).
This seems to be the way with a lot of apps on Android though. They seem to cater for either phone users or tablet users and rarely both. I don't have experience of Apple stuff but I am guessing things are a little more together over in the Apple apps camp.
EDIT: Sorry just having a bit of a moan.

Give Quick Pic a try. It's free and works nicely as a photo gallery for viewing local content on all my Android devices...you can choose which folders to include or exclude and the image rendering is very fast.

Id get flickfolio, really good app has all your stream and sets and so forth.
It stores it a set amount locally also so you can view while offline.

I've sworn by quickpic for a very long time but since the last few updates my albums sometimes take up to 90 seconds to load.

Try clearing it's cache.

I've done so. its a problem after cache clearking and reinstalls over multiple ROMs.

JustPictures works great for online albums as well as local stuff.

Flickr Viewer HD.
So far seems awesome, pics look great and a very cool layout. Still needs some interface work but my favorite Flickr App

I've been using it since my RAM-challenged Archos tablet and it's always outperformed any stock photo app our anything else I've tried from the market.

Put a .nomedia file in you books folder and the images won't show up in the gallery.

Pretty sure there's a 15 minute window during which you can any app out and refund it if you don't like it.

thumbnails

i need more storage space so i plan on deleting some stuff and i saw the gallery thumbnails and it is pretty big, can i delete this? i mean is it safe to do so? what will happen if i do?

Yes its safe to delete. The thumbnails are cached images of all your pictures that you see in the gallery. When you delete them, the gallery will have to rebuild them.

thank you so much man =) i was hesitant on doing so for a very long time =) now i have more space thanks a lot

You will most likey encounter the "No media storage available" message when opening gallery or camera app. Thats a bug the nexus has, not on my gs3

You could try the app "SD Maid", even we don't have a "real" sdcard and maybe you have no root. It cleans unneeded stuff off your sdcard and it's working great for me

will do thanks =) i will try if it is better than clean master
update: thanks for the recommendation =) it is more complicated than clean master but it categorizes files better, thinking about getting the pro version thanks a lot dude

Photos are taken but dissapear?

My girlfriend and I both purchased S7 edges 2-3 months ago. We recently took a trip to the beach and after taking pictures of the kids pretty much all day we realized that we both didn't have the majority of the pictures that we took. Even a few that we uploaded to Facebook immediately after taking, even though they uploaded to Facebook they still weren't on our phones. The rest of the vacation we didn't have the issue but last night and today I took pictures and a few are missing. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix out there for it?

How much free storage do you have?

Gigs! Storage space isnt the issue at all. After I realized I didnt have the last pic I snapped a few more pics just to test it out and all of those pics took and saved.
EDITED: 11 gigs avail on device , 5 gig avail on SD card

I have rebooted between instances, and keep in mind we are talking about 2 phones, and even crazier both phones did it at the same time at the same adventure park. Id say we each lost at least 10 pics that we took at the same park... But did have a few? It seems so crazy and weird...

That is weird.
Did you guys accidentally use a different modes or push animate on them? Are you 2 using sd cards?

Push animate? I just push the photo button and would assume she does the same?

It is like a collage. Anyway, if you are using sd cards, I noticed that a lot of people have a corruption issue pretty often.

I recommend saving the internal storage then transferring them to sd later. Good luck.

Apparently this is an S7 Edge thing? I never had issues like this on my note 3 and she didnt on her S5 either

You could try the diskdigger app on the play store. Don't know if it will help but it's worth a try.

Possibly an issue with the app you're using to look at your pictures. I like using ES File Explorer to dig around the files on my phone. Just navigate to where you keep the pictures stored and maybe you'll see all of them.

Mine just started doing this too. I would see the photo in the preview, try to open that to share it and it wouldn't be there. So frustrating.

Also just found out my dads Note 5 is doing the same to him every now and then.

I had this happen to me yesterday. My little cousin was posing with my dog sleeping on his lap so I snapped the pic. When I went to upload it, it was gone. Lost a cute moment. First instance I've seen, but I don't take pictures often. I'm not using an sd card, either

I thought my phone was doing this. I installed quick pic and was able to see them again. And I can now see them in my systems gallery app where I couldn't before. Worth a shot.
