[Q] Lag when switching to Landscape mode?

Hey guys,
Love the G2. Anyone notice that there's a 3-4 sec lag sometimes when switching over to landscape with keyboard out?
Anyone have this problem?

Yea it really depends in how much stuff you have on your screen.

No not me. It could be that you have too much things running in the background and its eating your memory. Try killing things running in the background or restart your phone.

I notice a little lag with widgets on the screen. And sometimes the home screen is blank when backing out of apps, but shifting the screen left or right brings it back.

i get the same thing when i have alot of things running.

Yah I get the same... blank empty screen for a while when exiting certain apps and going back to home.. kinda annoying sometimes

Anyone have a work around?
Basically I notice it happens if:
- Screen is off
- Open/Close keyboard (orientation change)
- Screen turns on, if I'm in an app, i.e. messaging I then
- Press home key
- LAG, blank home screen for 4 seconds...
Really annoying, I think it might be something I installed but I haven't done any serious modding (only root, S-off, unlock... installed visionary and setcpu but running stock ROM)

HELP with ADW Launcher??

I've searched around but doesn't look like people even bring these two problems up, maybe you can help?
1. Whenever my phone is locked for over 2 minutes or so, and I unlock it, it seems to lag when i swipe to another home screen for just about 1/2 second after i swipe my finger. It runs fine after that. I've tried tweaking some settings but it doesn't seem to go away. Didn't experience this on a non-sense rom. Anyone with help on that?
2. Also, I noticed that if you open the keyboard when in the home screen, it moves the entire screen up with it. Is it possible to not move the screen up? It causes problems when I'm in a messenger and press the home button with the keyboard open because the entire screen flickers. Not much of a problem, just didn't experience this before either.
Thanks for any help at all guys.

If it's the original ADWLauncher then it isn't that well optimized and with Sense, I get that little like stutter as well. Sense is just a massive ***** to load up.
I don't know how your getting your keyboard on your homescreen. By default, the keyboard moves everything up no matter what with no settings really. You can have a look in Language and Keyboard but I doubt it.

Disappearing keyboard still not fixed?

Hey guys,
I'm running a Lumia 800 with the 8107 OS so I thought the disappearing Keyboard issue should have been fixed. However sometimes, when I write a mail or message it happens that the Keyboard still vanishes. I was not able to reproduce the Problem in parts. Could you please try the following and tell me what happens:
1. Go to the Home Screen
2. Open either an app from the home Screen or from the programs list
3. As soon as the Programm Shows the loading Screen hit the search button
4. Tap on the search box and wait
5. The Keyboard should now dissapear after a few seconds
This works best with Applications that take some time to load, like Facebook or Board Express. Instead of opening the Search App you can go into every app that opens the keyboard. I also guess that Network related callbacks are responsible for the dissapearing keyboard. You can try the following as well:
1. Open the Facebook App
2. Wait for it to load and Display the recent items
3. Hit "..." and "Refresh"
4. Tap the Search Button and open the Keyboard
5. After a few seconds the Keyboard disappears.
It would be great if some of you guys could try to reproduce this problem.
Regards
Chris

The keyboard isn't disappearing in that case, the app is loading, and you're intentionally trying to type before it's fully loaded to get this behavior. The disappearing keyboard issue would occur MID SENTENCE while typing something as simple as a text after the message had already loaded. What you're doing is intentional and happens everywhere.

Well, this are only two Scenarios where the Keyboard dissapears. However sometimes while composing a longer message for instance, it goes away. And I don't think this behavior is intended. Imagine you're in an area with bad coverage and hit refresh. This refresh can take around 20 or 30 seconds so you decide to write a text. Halfway in the text, the Keyboard will disappear while you are writing. At least that occurs on my device.

I'm not sure what to tell you then. I know that the disappearing keyboard was solved for me. It's pretty much a given that on any device, because this used to happen to me on Android and WinMo, that refreshing incoming data will cause your typing indicator to disappear once the data has completely loaded. You can try this on Internet Explorer on your computer. It might be a hassle, but that occured before Mango's keyboard issue. As far as typing a long message, I've typed 10 page texts and haven't had the keyboard disappear once. When I had the disappearing keyboard, it would disappear every 3-4 words, sometimes quicker, and was quite annoying.

i think its not an internet related problem, it is caused by ram issues...if i play with angry birds with dehydration hack, then i switch to an incoming message and quickly reply, the keyboard disappears after 2 sec...lg o7, sorry for bad english..

Updated to 8107 last week and haven't seen the disappearing keyboard since. I call fail on this thread.

Haven't had any issues with disappearing keyboard since 8107, although it was frequent prior.

for some reason, it took two updates for my keyboard to stay. I did an update last week...and for whatever reason, i had another update last night, which appeared to be the same one I did earlier that week...don't know why.
but since, i've had no keyboard issues.

I second the one who said this thread is fail.
The method you gave is a way to force the page to refresh, so as soon as the page (or in this case the app or Bing search) loads with the keyboard, the background agents from the opened app causes the page you are in to refresh as well, thus the keyboard disappears.
The incident before, is when you are already typing a message for 10 seconds or so, then the keyboard will suddenly disappear for no apparent reason. In some occasions, it disappears again when you type on the message box as if the keyboard is doing a "double take" disappearing action = annoying.

That's exactly what I said. He's purposely trying to type while data/agents/pieces of the app are still loading or refreshing. Obviously the keyboard is going to disappear once its done. Go to a website on the phone, and start typing in a text box before it fully loads. Once it fully loads, it'll disappear. This is common knowledge and happens on every platform I've ever used...

Thanks for pointing up that this is intended. I thought it would be odd if an app in the Background could hide the Keyboard in a completely diffrent active app. But it seems as this behaviour is a Feature and not a bug.

Scrolling freeze on chrome

Open a website,start scrolling and suddenly it won't move. Pull down the notification bar slightly and I can continue to scroll again. Probably a 120hz setting compatibility issue but curious if anyone else has this problem too?

Seen that too but also in Play app

Have it too. Seems like I either wait an undetermined time for it to unfreeze or pull down the notification bar to unfreeze it.

Well, glad I'm not the only one, although it's really annoying when it happens.

Mine also does that many times but that's more like the chrome's problem since the phone itself runs smoothly in every other app.

I believe I'm getting the same issue in other apps as well. I'll be scrolling, but if I press the home or back button on the navigation bar, it will lock up for like 20 seconds before something crashes. The common error is that System UI has stopped responding. Been having this issue, and quite frankly, it's making me want to give iPhones a try again...

That's not all. It opens some sites for a very long time 1-2 minutes, while in the same time as a Samsung Browser it opens in 5-10 seconds. It is very strange.

I use Brave rather than Chrome but get it here as well. Only in Brave though. I normally swipe back to home screen and go back in to unfreeze it.

Question Return to apps i was using on big screen??

Is there a way to make the fold return to the apps that I was using in the main screen when I open the phone? I often have 2 apps open for work, close the phone - do nothing at all and then when you open the phone again it's at the home screen. Would love for it to stay there. Really would love a mod or something that just treats the front and rear separately but that's probably not realistic. At least staying on the app I was using would be great.
"Continue app use" or whatever that setting is isn't the answer either. If you have 2 apps open it just does nothing when you close the phone.
Thanks for any advice!

Continue app on screen cover does work for the apps that allow the continuity as I just tried ebay and allibaba apps. It did close it out when I closed the phone, but I could open recent tab(three lines next to home button) and was able to quickly bring back the split screen apps I was using
