Lag switching to landscape orientation - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am getting significant lag when switching from portrait to landscape orientation, which was not present on my Galaxy S2. Anyone getting this as well?

Yes, me too. It's even slower than my Desire. Only got it yesterday afternoon so haven't played with it a massive amount, but I have a gut feeling it's an ICS issue.

I am getting this as well but I don't think its an ICS issue.. it seems more like an ICS feature.. who knows.. its not that bothersome though.
I remember with my orginal desire I wished the rotation was less responsive.

Are you referring to the animation lagging or that there is a delay before it starts the transition?
If it's the latter, i do believe it's considered a "feature" to prevent accidental changes in orientation.

Theres going to be a whole host of errors and issues... brand new os barely out of beta.
Should be fun!

I started a thread about this yesterday its my main issue with the device.

i actually prefer it taking a while to spin, my Desire used to annoy me so much the way it was so sensitive i ended up disabling auto rotate most of the time :/

It's the latter. Transition animations can be turned off and it doesn't change a thing. Probably a good thing to prevent accidental orientation changes, but I would give users an option to set it the way they want.

Yeah - I wouldn't class this as "lag", it's just a delay to stop accidental rotation.
This used to annoy the hell out of me too on the Desire Don't have this problem anymore.

Yes, it's the latter. My Desire didn't bother me, so it's a personal preference thing. With this in mind, surely there should be an option to change the delay time? Maybe something for 4.1!

I suppose everyone has their individual preferences; for me it's a bit annoying with the delay especially when looking at photos in the gallery, where I want the transition to be pretty quick.

[Q] Poor keyboard performance in landscape

To keep it simple...
Is anyone experiencing lag and delays when typing in landscape mode?
I'm typing into the stock SMS app. There are no slowdowns in portrait mode, bizarrely.
UPDATE: Looks like this could be a known bug here - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22432
As I've mentioned before, if you're having a similar problem to that described in the link, give it a star rather than a "me too" comment - unless your problem is different.
I don't get that. Are you using the default keyboard?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Yes, indeed - default keyboard. If the vibrate on keypress is enabled, I can tell it's delayed.
I've also noticed this in numerous applications. Try typing a Google+ post in landscape and prepare to be frustrated.
Hmm. Try going into the advanced settings of the keyboard and try to reduce vibration time or key pop up dismiss delay. Maybe that will help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I still does it with the vibration turned off. The key presses still seem to be registered, but feedback (the pop-up letters) seem to catch up when it's finished doing the other things that it needs to do.
I have exactly the same problem in my galaxy nexus.. and only in landscape mode... and the longer you write in landscape mode to more delay you will get... any idea?
greets Micha
Thanks everyone for responding so far.. seems it's not just me.
By no means am I moaning - the phone has blown my mind. The keyboard is amazingly useful in portrait mode, that I'm almost not bothered by this landscape slow down.
I wonder if Google are aware of it?
Might be this issue

Yup, I've also noticed this. I don't have vibration enabled.
This happens to me as well. It also happened to me on my Nexus S. It doesn't seem to do it all the time, but at least 40% of the time the keyboard will lag. Also when I use the word replacement feature of spell check it won't actually replace the word or it will replace it but keep the red underline, then change back to the misspelled word again.
just noticed this this morning- seems limited to landscape mode so far. kind of a bummer since in portrait mode the keyboard performance is the best I have ever seen.

Ah yes, the still haven't fixed that either. I was thinking the GN version of the app would be updated from the Gingerbread one. No spell correction, suggestions, auto punctuation, or word wrap in landscape mode. At least we know that problem can be fixed by an app update from Google.
I have noticed this as well. Commented also to the android forum thread about this.. Let's hope we get a fix soon

Voted. Hopefully Google does have this fixed in the next incremental update. It does feel like it takes a bit too long for the screen to rotate. I understand that they didn't want to have the screen rotating inadvertently, but I think they went just a little too far. It isn't awful but it could definitely use improvement.
It doesn't need fixing as it was deliberately set that way by Google - it's not a bug!
I like the delay as otherwise the phone would be changing orientation all the time as I move!!!

They should let users decide if they want a delay.
I like how people argue about how Android is so awesome cause of it's customization and it's open etc and then when there is a design decision made that people hate, others have to defend Google by saying how good the decision is and nothing needs to be fixed etc... If it's so great and open and customizable then Google should let the user decide if they want a delay or not.
@[email protected]????
There is no issue if you watch YouTube reviews it has been said that this is clearly a transition effect. Every person that has showed the screen rotation has the same effect and supposed "delay"
I think some of you are comparing it to the iPhone transition when rotating. AOKP has a speed up option I lowered mine and its fine.

Wouldn't that be the same as having the user decide to root their phone to make it faster? This topic is pointless, if your really that nit picky about an issue and want more to customize, then flash a rom. Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it.

did you do a sassy z-snap in the air after you typed that? because that's what i envisioned, reading it.
Do people realize that this is not a bug? Before 2.1, android had instant rotation but around Froyo, they added 200ms delay to prevent accidental rotation because it happens quite often and it's annoying. You could just look at the source for a moment and realize this. If you want to change this value, just change it back to 0ms or 50ms.
The delayed rotation isn't an issue, but it's pretty buggy and doesn't register often, like the sensor falls asleep and u gotta shake it to wake it back up - then it works fine again (with the proper delay).
I always chuckle when my wife shakes her phone, thinking it will wake up or rotate due to shaking
It's like my Dad when he used to move the Nintendo controller when Mario jumped - couldn't stop laughing!

>.< hahahaha "oh no you didn't!" /z-snap. But in all honesty I've seen the OP do nothing but complain about the gnex in the forums. Just makes me wonder why "she" ( if its even a girl) bought it. First the gpu because of a live wallpaper? And now this.

Screen rotatiton lag

Ok, guys.
Everybody knows about screen rotation lag on Android. Somebody has 1 sec, somebody 5 sec lag.
At code.google.com people say it is intentional. And I do believe so. Just try landscape in browser and press home without rotating device, my screen rotates super fast and without any lag.
So does anyone know any possible way to change the delay between the phone being put in landscape and the screen start rotating?
BTW I'm on AndroidME 1.5 CM10 ROM and I did my own research with google with no luck.
Rotation lag has completely disappeared for me since I run JB.

Which ROM Do you run? I'm on JB as well and I do have 1 sec lag.

I have about a second of lag too, but it's hard for me to consider this lag. The orientation is dependant upon the accelerometer. The hardware recognizing an adjusted angle and switching the orientation all within a second seems within the confines of reason in my opinion.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The lag you speak of I believe is to make sure the user actually intended to rotate their phone. Its never really bothered me to be honest. Back when I used my Nexus S, CNA had an option to increase the response of this rotation. Not sure if that's included in their JB release though.
But that lag bother me a lot, try rotating phone while in camera you'll how amazingly fast the rotation can be.
Well yeah. It's the camera. Like I said, that tiny bit of lag is to make sure the user intentionally rotated the phone. I'm sure you can edit this via the build prop or something else.
That's why I want to know how I can do this, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
The camera app itself doesn't rotate.
Try holding the phone in landscape then click next where the onscreen keys are, you'll see that they're sill in the portrait orientation.

[Q] Input Lag

I went from an Optimus 3D to the Note II
The Note 2 is times better of course, but there is one thing i cant get over.... INPUT LAG
The Optimus 3D is much more responsive in games... I just cant get the timing right in most games because of it... its very noticble
Is there anything i can do about this?
No there is no solution. The Tegra 3 devices have the lowest input lag. The Note 2 is a horrible device. The Nexus 4 is by far the "smoothest" Android device i.e. there is much less microstuttering in the animations, but it also have visible input lag. If you want minimimal input lag buy an iPhone. Once you use an iPhone 5, you'll facepalm for every Android device that you foolishly thought was responsive or had "surpassed" the iPhone.
You might want to try aosp on your phone.

It's a hardware issue. No ROM can counter the input latency between when you touch the screen and it registers the touch.
I think it's do with software optimization/config. I'm not that thorough with this kind of issue but I read a while back its just the way android and iOS handles touch input. The lag is probably due to the way android processes between an accidental or intentional touch.

Accidental touch filtering will have no effect when dragging an object on the screen. Even while dragging a list or page it is centimetres behind you finger. On iOS it is almost stuck to your finger. The Show Touches developer option will demonstrate this clearly.
The problem exists because of the nonstandard 58hz display refreshrate on our note2. There's no way to get around it.
from my understanding, most of the lag is caused by project butter. vsync with constant triple buffer means frames are being prerendered, which means response to touches will be seen 2-3 frames behind each time. thats around 16.6ms of lag introduced per prerendered frame (assuming 60hz), which can be noticeable in fast paced games.
I havent noticed any input lag with the Galaxy S/S2/S3 and Note 1, I would suppose all of the devices have the same input lag?

Yea just checked it out and I have to agree. Although the iPhone does have lag but not as much as the Note 2.

Hi,
Then you probably don't notice it, maybe cause for you, this is the way a phone has to respond, and maybe you're not used to very low latency devices (and also screen and computer mouses that can sometimes approach 0ms latency).
My hope is that a screen can't have that much latency, so it HAS to have a way to reduce this horrible input lag. Yes, for me it's horrible cause i'm used to no latency, and there is obviously more than 1/10s latency here : more than my SGS1. :facepalm:

Didn't wanna tweak my note 2 but i will maybe be forced to it...
I'm talking about input lag, not being laggy, do you confirm that you saw an improvement on display/touch latency with another kernel ? If yes, wich one(s) please ?

i have rooted and tweaked my note2 (just like all of my android devices) first day. Because of this i cant give an answer for stock kernels..
But i never noticed lag problem on games or any other area on NEAK kernel.
Hope it helps

lag not found in sgs i9000
i know about this lag, its very obvious for note2. but for my old sgs i9000 with cm10.1, there's not lag. its both jelly bean. i think it has to do with vsync which only max out at 60. could this be modified at the kernel level?
Maybe this app can do this

Nope, doesn't help, cause maybe you don't even notice it, like at least 80% of poeple.
I'll try rooting and your app first, thanks for trying to help.
psycotrompus -> Not a problem to be limited to 60fps, as the screen is 60hz (or 58hz here, not sure), but for sure yes : Vsync adds latency, it pre renders between 2 to 4 frames, so 2 to 4x 1/60s : 30 to 60ms latency, just for that step. Add the capacitive detection, the screen hardware input lag : Can be easy 120ms latency minimum. :s
I consider that after 50ms, the feeling isn't even natural, and above 100ms, it feels unresponsive.
I'm still searching but i'm not sure if old methods for rooting are working on the updated ROM, if i could avoid formating or using my JigRig, would be good , please does anyone know ?
It's pretty bad on the Note 2 I find. My old Desire was better as is my wife's Xperia Ray.
For anyone who doesn't notice it bring down the notification bar and move your finger up and down and your finger can easily be 2cm ahead of where the bar is on screen. Or maybe don't do it or you might start noticing it.

You can also go to your app list, put your finger on an icon, move right and left (or up and down depending of the scrolling orientation of your app list), quite fast => If at anytime you're able to see the icon that is supposed to be under your finger, means the display's late compared to your finger, and you can conclude that there IS input lag. Then if you don't notice it in basic use, then good for you, but I (some of us) do.

Oversensitive auto-rotate

Is anyone else's 5t pretty sensitive and auto rotates at times you don't want it to just by a small movement?
So this is still driving me crazy, small movements continue to make the screen auto-rotate when trying to do something. Is there any way to calibrate the accelerometer?
Any answer for this?

this was allways an issue to me on all oneplus devices. Theycan fix this problem by simply raising the rotation trigger treshold. but i guess there are not venough complains. it should be possible with root too but i dont know exactly what file/line to modify.
Yep, I have locked mine to portrait mode which seems to be fine for me 90% of the time for me. I do hope they fix this though..

+100 but unfortunately seems most of the people (including oneplus) don't care.
Yep. I had a thread on this when it first came out.
I wish I could find an app that worked well enough to let me just pick and choose what I want to auto-rotate, but they all are a little flaky.
I've locked it to portrait. This is an OOS issue or all ROMs? Haven't dabbled with any custom ROMs yet, but if it can't fix this annoying issue, I'm all for it.
Had this on all the Nexus ROMs as well....always on portrait does it for me.
Just saw this in the articles section.
https://www.xda-developers.com/rotation-orientation-manager/
Could be worth a try.
