Does anyone has experienced the disappearing of SMS window while writing a message ?
This happens all WM6 ROM's.
I find the device sometimes kicks back to today screen when I select new sms...but pressing messaging button takes you to new message.
yeah i've had the kickback to the today screen as well, just a minor annoyance.
one thing that's been happening since WM5 is when i hit the messaging button, the top and bottom bar show the "messaging" title and the appropriate buttons on the bottom but the main part of the screen does not change.
know what i'm talkin about?
yes I've noticed the issue with the main window not updating to match the title and button bars.
My little fix for it is to open the phone, let it go to landscape mode and then close it and to let it get back to portrait... it should appear after that.
This start happening to me last night... its annoying the **** out of me!!
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.
I find there are a number times when navigation is problematic on WP7, caused by a few design issues:
- there being a back button but no forward button
- apps always start from home page when loaded from the home screen
- IE relies on the hardware back button and you can lose your navigation history if you leave IE, go back in and try to navigate back.
I think most WP7 users will know what I'm talking about.
My question is - do people think the Mango update with multitasking will solve this? I can't see enough detail in the online demos to be sure, but I would hope that it does get around these issues.
I'm sure that with Mango's fast app switcher (the new tap-and-hold back button) you will have much more flexibility than today.
But, I'm not sure what you mean by "you lose your navigation history" in IE. Even if I back out of IE, when I go back in, tap the favorites icon, and flick to the History pivot, I still see all of the pages I visited in the list. Maybe I am doing something different, or else I am misunderstanding your problem.
i think he meant...
1: go browse using ie, and visit several pages by following links
2: press windows key to go back to homescreen
3: launch ie again (through its tile, not the back button)
4: history gone. you'll be back to the last page you were visiting, but that's it. if you press the back button, it'll take you out of ie and into the homescreen.
this annoys me as well.
Website A,
click link to B,
check emails,
return to IE (via back button),
on website B,
want to go back to A: not possible via back button
It is unintuitive to open favorites(!) then change to history only to go one site backwards.
Yep that's the scenario exactly.
I checked what Android does because it has a very similar setup of a hardware back button. However, they get it right and the solution is very simple.
On Android when you go back into the browser, the hardware back button takes you back through browser history until there is no more history. Then the next press takes you back in the application screen history. I only tried it quickly but it seems to solve the problem that WP7 exhibits.
I think the only foolproof option is like iOS where the back button is onscreen and part of the application. The downside is that it clutters up the display a lot. When I use an iPhone now the actual screen space for the application seems very small.

That's changing in Mango. Developers will be able to allow users to pin pages in their app to the home screen not just the app itself.
The example shown at MIX11 was that if we create a News app which has a world news page, a country specific news page and a financial page (for example); the user could then pin the financial page to the start screen.
There is no limit on the amount of tiles per app, so the user could chose to pin all three pages to their start screen. Clicking on any of these tiles would take them straight to the page of interest not the main page.
Of course, this requires app developers to implement the new tiles in their app (but it's not difficult).

That is interesting, although you're talking more about linking within an app, where sometimes the issue is more about remembering state i.e. reloading an app and it being back on the page you were on.
To be fair, support for this on iOS is patchy, some apps do it and some don't. And the MS guidelines specifically say that the app must restart from home when loaded from a tile. I wonder if this was in preparation for the multitasking features, although I will still like to be able to use a tile to launch an already-running (tombstoned) app and have it take me back to where I was when I left it. From what I've seen of Android, it does this.
Not sure what everyone is complaining about the back button and IE since it's actually pretty consistent with desktop browser experience. When you close your browser and open it up again, you don't get to press back.

that's the point. in your phone you don't close your brower (by pressing back back until you're at the homescreen, you just press the middle button to pull up the home screen). in my desktop I can have 10 browers open, and still open my e-mail without disturbing my browers.

Do I remember correctly that tabbed browsing is coming with IE9/Mango, and said tabs will be in the multitasking screen? I guess it could very well start working more like you described?
We will see in 2 days hopefully.

That's interesting actually if they do that I can see it helping. Proving that when returning to a browser page, you can still use the back button to work the browser rather than just jumping back to where you were before.
If they're gonna carry on with the back button doing special stuff in the browser, they need to implement the Android trick of the back button going back through browser history until the start, then going back through application screen history.
I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and after updating to Jelly Bean, my stock browser keeps going to the homepage. For example, if I'm browsing a webpage, and I get a text. I'll read the text and go back to the browser, it opens to the homepage, instead of staying on the page where I left. Similar happens even when I'm in the browser, I'll look through my bookmarks, and if I go back to the page was, it was load the homepage.
Is there a way to stop it from loading the homepage.
Another problem I have is, whenever I open an app (i.e. Bank of America app) and finish using it and close it. I'll be on the left most home screen and when I swipe to go the middle home screen, the screen will go to the right of the middle screen (4th screen). This doesn't happen with all the apps, only a few.
Please help.
Hi I was using the note 2 for couple of days and I keep seeing some problem with selecting or touching from screen.
First I notice this when I was scrolling from folder to folder in gallery. Whenever I try to scroll down, it went back up. This was solved when I go out and clear the ram, however, it will start happening again after little while.
Second time that I notice was when I'm trying to scroll within the contact list using the alphabet list on the side. It will be fine for two or three time but after that when I try to glide up and down, it is keep highlighting the "#" and does not scroll around. I need to restart the phone to make this work again.
Does anyone have same problems? And is there a way to fix this? I'm using root stock with wifi and extended notification bar mod.
