Can someone else confirm that the physical keyboard keys get disabled when making flash games go full screen? I was just trying to play a few that I knew had wasd controls and as soon as I would maximize the game to full screen, the keyboard wouldn't work in game anymore. If I left it minimized in the browser, it worked fine...
Anyone else notice this?
i played kitten cannon the other day on addictinggames and i was able to use the space bar just fine to launch the cat even in full screen mode
hmm, it may have been the games I was playing then. I'll try some at addicting games instead and see if I still have issues.
Thanks!
I have the Sprint HTC Arrive. Got it and the phone worked perfectly. Then after installing some apps, the home screen and apps menus would stutter when scrolling. So I hard reset the phone and it didn't go away. I went to Sprint and they agreed it was an issue so they replaced the phone.
With the new phone (which worked perfectly), I checked every menu after installing any new app. Everything was great until I installed POCKET RECORDER. As soon as I did that, the stutter came back. This time it's in my PEOPLE menu, pictures and web. Of course, I immediately uninstalled and hard reset. Well, the stutter is still there after that.
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve or what it could be. It's a very annoying stutter. I am hoping I can resolve without an exchange again. Any help/comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I have the same problem,I own two HTC 7 PRO and one of them has the same problem - stutter when scrolling.
Either HR or Reflash do not help.
stuttering? how bad is it? and how are you scrolling?
i have an HTC HD7 and i do experience slight stutters when scrolling up and down the tiles(only noticed stutters when scrolling up and down the tiles). sometimes its scrolls smoothly and most of the time it stutters. i suspected as well that some apps make scrolling stutter yet im not that sure if there are apps that make scrolling a little laggy.
if compared with the page that shows all the apps, scrolling is much smoother than that of the start screen.
btw, i only have 24 tiles pinned on my start screen (just a run down of tiles. maybe somebody will be able to pinpoint which one is the culprit. i have settings, people, phone, messaging,xbox,zune,bible7, fs calculator, the weather channel, camera, me tile and 4 fave contacts tile, 2 email tiles, htc notes and notepad free, ie, marketplace, pictures and HTC hub)
Don't have any stutter and have pocket recorder installed. Never actually used the program though so just uninstalled as a precaution.

My guess is that this is due to the use of SD memory rather than NAND. The more you write to the SD the more you will notice "lag" when the OS has to re-read certain information.
Of course, this does not explain why it still lag's after a hard-reset, so I could be all wrong. I haven't come across it on my Omnia7 though, but did notice it on an early HD7 (this was part of why it went back to the store).
it's pretty noticeable. in some areas, it almost skips.

I dont have any of these programs installed. You may have to get it exchanged - that seems like the only fix.

BUT as soon as I loaded POCKET RECORDER, it started the stutter. My guess is the Pocket Recorder writes the the SD card in such a way that it causes some read issues. So even after an uninstall, the problem is still there.

Good plan. I would highly recommend not using that app! The stutter didn't happen until after I used the program once.
I have that problem on my HTC htd7. Makes sense if you have lotsof you sd card, but doesn't after a hard reset. I dunno do sd cards needs to be defrgmented? Could it be a hardware or software issue? Its starting to feel lke ms released wp7 way before it was ready.

Which phone do you have?
I have pocket recorder on my Omnia 7.
I'm pretty sure at some point in the past I have used the program.. I don't notice stuttering.
Any one else opened this program and not received lag / stuttering?
Let me address the stutter and NAND/SD Card issue.
The Lag in List Scrolling likely has absolutely nothing to do with the SD Card.
Lots of apps do not cache their data on the phone, so the issue is rarely from loading since the phone is downloading and loading that data into RAM, not to the storage. In some cases it may cache the data, but keep in mind that there are applications that actually store lots of data on the disk which do not lag when scrolling (horizontally or vertically). Stock apps do not display this, and most of them scroll (Calendar, for example, and I have a lot of stuff in mine) without any issues.
The issue I think is with the list control and how it functions.
Some people's phone may stutter, but the stuttering may be within their own personal "tolerance" limit so they don't think about it or notice. Some applications stutter a lot more than others, which leads me to believe it's a code issue.
NAND and SD Card are non-factor when an app downloads data from the internet to RAM and puts it in a list control to display on the screen. In many instances, the data those apps are loading into those lists aren't even touching the storage, nor is it even cached to storage.
Also, Windows Mobile Applications could be installed to SD Card, and even witih large lists most of those apps did not display this low level of performance... And that's running from a Class 2 SD Card on an HD2 (WM 6.5 Latest Stock ROM) with the entire application and all of its data cache installed to the SD Card.
If you can play Videos and Music off an SD Card, do you really think loading some data to display in a list control will make the phone lag? Really... Get serious about this, people...
The Storage Type is not the issue. The entire OS runs pretty good off of that SD card. There is something wrong with the list control, IMO... The Silverlight control, specifically (because I am starting to think Microsoft used more than enough Native Code in its stock applications).
A Web Browser with a large cache and caching almost every page you view scrolls flawlessly but a list in a twitter app that doesn't even cache data stutters? Seriously? It's the Storage Type's problem? Lol... No, it's not. And I've never seen any conclusive test to prove that (nor am I willing to perform my own, so take it with a grain of salt... it just makes absolutely no sense.. it's almost laughable...).
I've never experience any system-wide stuttering (I wonder if some of the SD cards are rubbish, in that case), but the list scrolling in WP7 is just unbearable. It causes ghosting and all kinds of effects on the screen that are neither bearable or ergonomic (leads to eye strain, headaches after prolonged use, etc. among other things).
I have to say I'm confused as to how an app could cause permanent problems to the phone. On a hard reset I think I am right in saying the internal storage will be completely wiped and re-written with the core OS data from the ROM?
And being ROM there is no way this can be affected without a flashing process... Unless you have some dodgy hardware/SD card and it is just a coincidence that this particular program was run when the problem appeared?
Whenever I play any game, the emulator has 'hiccups' where it'll lag on certain points while I'm playing..the hiccups last a few seconds and goes away for a minute or two then comes back...
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the recent releases of tiger arcade?
I heard that this issue comes from the MicroSD card

no is not from microsd as u turn the sound off for the games then games will run smooth and suspect is xperia play original speed (1.0Ghz) is not capable of running most games fullspeed with sound enable.
thanks
Hiccups are bound to happen if you've got a lot of apps that require attention at the same time you are playing.
I had this problem too. I just reinstalled older version.. Updates are big **** whenever the app. ( Black pegasus last update for example, unplayable, hate the updates. )

Yeah I'm aware of that but what bugs me is hiccups happen when they didn't before...
I've turned it off and back on again, rebooted my phone, uninstalled all updates and everything else I could think of but it's only showing up for Clash of Clans. I tried installing from AOL but that didn't work either.
Anyone have any suggestions for me? And while I'm here, is there anyway to batch load games into Game Launcher? I turned it off and back on to see if it would fix Game Tools and it only loads Clash of Clans. Something about that game registers the tools but not the others. All downloaded through the Play Store and Amazon Underground.
Fixed it on my own but probably the long way. I guess when I deactivated Game Launcher before it removed some sort of profiling and the games didn't register as qualifying for using the tool anymore. When I uninstalled the games and reinstalled them fresh they reappeared in Game Launcher and had the Game Tools working again.

Scratch that, it's back now. Some games are still working but others do not. This time I haven't changed anything after I got it working the last time. Clash of Clans works all the time but Marvel Future Fight, Clash Royale and others are loading without it.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Talking to myself again here just in case someone comes along with anything. I've restarted the phone and Marvel Future Fight loaded Game Tools fine, but when I tried Clash Royale it didn't have it. So I closed all apps and opened MFF again but now it's not there. If anyone has any idea what is going on I'd like to figure it out but for now I'm just going to turn it off since it's so inconsistent in appearance.
And then I reply to myself again. Settings > Applications > App > Storage > Clear Cache. Do that to every app it doesn't show up on and voila, it reappears.
Hi all,
Enjoying my Samsung Galaxy Note7 for the most part, but I am experiencing one extremely annoying issue.
I play music on my phone a lot, all of it streaming from either Apple Music or Pandora. On the Huawei Nexus 6P both apps work flawlessly (on both MM and N Preview), never cutting out whether in the foreground, background, screen off, whatever.
On the Note7 the apps seem to be getting killed or otherwise stopped for no apparent reason, even if they are the only apps in the switcher.
Anyone else experiencing issues like this? It seems to be worse with Apple Music, but as I say it has worked flawlessly for me on the Nexus 6P (as well as a few other recent Android devices for that matter).
So far searches have proved fruitless.
Thanks, Mitchell
Yup, it has happened to me a few times also when using Spotify. App doesn't close, but randomly stops playing my music and restarts the song when I tab back in to press play. Coming from an iPhone, I've never experienced this issue.
Sounds like the same issue. If I reopen Apple Music for example, the app opens immediately where it was, but the playback bar at the bottom is gone. When I click play on the stream I was listening to it restarts, same as you.
Similarly, coming from the iPhone (or even other Android devices), its frustrating to no end.
Are you all on Snapdragon or Exynos? My Snapdragon Note7 has the opposite problem. Music apps won't kill when I want them to and when I walk back in to range and my Gear reconnects from 3G to BT Pandora starts playing. Even though it shouldn't. My office isn't amused. I bounce between Pandora, Play Music, and Slacker and never had any of the issues you're describing. And I use them through Android Auto and would know if they weren't picking up from where I last left them.
I've got a Exynos N930F
Remove the apps that are being killed from the "App power monitor" under Device Maintenance - Battery.
You have to scroll down and click on the "Unmonitored Apps" and add the apps you want.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've just added them to the list and will see how it goes!
Interestingly, FB Messenger, WhatsApp and Android Auto were already in the list.
Sadly it didn't work, music stopped again this morning after just a few minutes
