Anybody else experiencing this bug?

Randomly when I go to send a text message, the letters I type don't show up. I have to close the messaging app fully and relaunch it and everything is fine.
I was rooted, with franco kernel and a bunch of mods/themes/apps installed. Right now I restored to stock ICS. Re-rooted, flashed aokp milestone 4 and haven't downloaded any apps and I just experienced the issue again.
Also, I am using stock keyboard.
Any ideas?

I believe this is a general issue with ICS, I have the same exact problem sometimes (1/~30 times) no matter what kernel/rom combo I'm using.

Definitely have never seen this before and i text like mad. But i also use handcent from day 1 so it might be the stock text app.

This happened to me once in a market app but hasn't occurred in the messaging app

It had the same thing happen to me quite often back on my HTC Legend on CM7 with Handcent, but never so far on my new Gnex. I liked the stock messaging app and even gave up on Handcent.

I can also confirm this happening very rarely. aokp/franco

Have definitely seen this more than a few times. I put it down to Swiftkey X compatibly issues though...

I think it also happens in the Market for me too. I dont really remember though. I do see it rarely in my messaging app. Although its very rare it does get annoying.

Thats the thing, I had swype installed and thought it was that. Like I said just did a reset and fresh install of everything. Cant be any third party apps.

Not me personally, but a friend who's on complete stock ICS has complained of this happening every so often. I've never seen it on mine.

So it's still happening with the Stock Keyboard? Interesting...Well, all we can wait for is a fix from the big G. I would have no idea where to start looking for problems with this sort of thing!

Yep have had this problem every morning for about the past week. I need to restart the phone to fix it.
I am rooted on stock 4.0.2 and normally use Swype however it happens on other keyboards too

Touch sounds?

My touch sounds (water drop) keep getting re-enabled, causing me to have to go into settings and disable them again. It seems to happen randomly, about once every day or so. Anyone else experiencing this?
FWIW, I am on stock, rooted.

Experiencing the same on stock rooted LG8. Mine only started acting up after I installed Tasker roughly 4 days ago. Probably just a coincidence though. Are you also on LG8?

Mine is doing the same thing also, LG8, stock, rooted. Didn't happen on LG2.

Yes, I'm on LG8. Glad to know that others are seeing this as well...

Same issue here, and a very annoying one! Hope it gets fixed soon!

You could always delete them. Or replace with the standard tick noise from aosp or something.

I too am stock, rooted, LG8 and have this issue. Bugger.

flash cm10 kangs, buttery smooth, Google now and no option for "water droplets"...

Jittery/Jerky scrolling...

Is anyone having jittery scrolling with their rom?I am running jedi and I didnt clean flash 6.1.1 and dont know if its causing this.
Every scrolling; menus, facebook, xda app, etc. Except stock browser is jerky. When you scroll it doesnt stop smoothly it jitters. Not too much but its definitely there and made me realize it.
I compared it to sgs2 running jellybean and everything is smooth there...
Anyone?

I have noticed the same thing since I installed jedi as well. I noticed it once jedi 6 and the same with 6.1.2

So should I try to clean install jedi again? I so dont wanna do that cuz after I flash roms I do so much tweaking it takes an hour or more to finish.
You have it as well but someone else said on jedi thread that after he clean installed its gone.
Did you clean install the 6.1.2? Or just flashed on top of previous one?

Running CleanRom 3.3 (Chose Perseus kernel when installed) and its silky smooth

Its killing me. I installed jedi 6.1.2 with perseus kernel still jerky. I am running clean rom 3.3 with perseus now and still not smooth. Tried note2core kernel still same. Installed stock 4.1.2 with perseus still laggy.
Only tome I felt less laggy was saber kernel with jedi. However saber only supports fat32. I have 64gb exfat.
This is insane. My old sgs2 with 4.1.2 is buttery smooth.

I cant seem to find the solution to this. This really made me hate this phone. Seems like frame rate is so low tgat it seems jerky when you scroll down or up on settings, facebook, tapatalk or other apps.
When you scroll slow or very fast there is no jerkiness. Its there when you scroll medium speed.
You scroll and it jerks seveal times very shortly until it stops. thats why it looks like frame rate is so low.
Enabled/disabled force 2d, nothing changes. Flashed maybe 10 times yesterday. I always wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset. Flash the rom and do wipe chache/dalvik and factory reset again then reboot.
I cant enjoy this phone anymore since I compared to sgs2 and know this is not normal.

I would return the phone if I were you...sounds like a potential hardware issue. This phone is much smoother than the sg2 (and that was a smooth phone). Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I cant return the phone. Its not an option.
Also I dont agree with you this being a hardware problem. Stock browser runs buttery smooth even if I open a picture heavy website.

I think thats an app problem not the device. Stock browser scrolls just fine.

I have done a complete wipe and flashed everything from the start and it seems so far to be fine. Not sure if it was a dirty flash on my end or not?

Exactly. Stock browser works buttery smooth and I dont understand why other apps and even phone's settings menu jiggles when you scroll. Its not smooth as stock browser scrolling. I dont understand that.

Ohh I flashed clean rom and jedi so many times over and over again but ni change. However only jedi with saber kernel I was able get smooth setting menu scrolling but apps such as facebook, tapatalk, whats up isnt.
I compared tapatalk side by side with sgs2 running 4.1.2 and even though its not ios smooth its still smoother than note2.
Annoying thing is that nobody seems like aware of it. I cant believe you dont have the same jerkiness. Its just obviously a software issue and everybody running the same rom/roms should have it.

Well if they don't have that problem, it should tell you that perhaps it's something else

That's what I don't understand...no one else is experiencing this, yet when I tell the guy that it may be something specific with his phone, he says nope, that can't be right.

I'm experiencing this same thing but I'm on Jelly beer. If I could flash a different kernel I would but you guys should try flashing the asylem core kernel. You can overclock upto 1.9 on that one and it may help with the gitter.

Can you explain then why stock browser is very smooth? and why saber kernel is with jedi makes the android menu scrolling smooth? If everything was bad yes maybe I would suspect something else, also I don't think a hardware can cause jerky scrolling when there are codes in android that can adjust scrolling.
I was using sgs2 for a year and flashed so many roms and kernels, there were huge differences in scrolling physics. Some updates were jerky, some smooth, some fast, some slow.
Everyone's perception is different. I wasn't even aware of it it took me 3 weeks to realize this jerky scrolling. For some of you, you might think this scrolling is smooth but for my standards its not acceptable because I know it can be modified and changed.
I own sgs1, sgs2 since their release dates and know pretty much what a firmware can do to your scrolling....

[Q] Touch Lag in AOSP ROMs?

I've been trying to run an AOSP ROM as my daily driver, but there's a big problem with all that I've tried (CM10.1, SlimBean, MROM, etc).
The all have a noticeable input lag. Basically, I'll touch an app and it won't accept the touch and open for a little under half a second after I touched it. I also think this might be called "touch latency" by some.
This is a weird problem, because all of the Touchwiz ROMs I've tried (including heavily themed ones) have no lag at all for me. Because of that, I'm sure this is a software problem for my phone with AOSP. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

I have used several different ROMs and never ran in to this problem. Maybe try liquid smooth and see if it is still present there.

Have you tried different kernals? I've heard some people with lag issues having them resolved with new kernals.
Just my two cents, hope they're worth something
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Looking to kill the lag.

Hey everyone, can I get tips for decemating the lag on this phone. Its really making me consider the HTC One. At this point, the s4 is slower than my nexus 4. Thank you.

Well flash a custom rom, ooen dev settings and decrease the time for transitions, or maybe try seeder (I havent tried)

What have you done/installed since you got your phone? My phone actually hasn't experienced any noticeable lag at all, not even once since opening the box. And I had three of them - all had zero lag. Of course, I still went and updated it and disabled some stock apps. It's getting better and better. The only issue is the speed at which this phone gets warm performing basic tasks like camera, email, internet. Even sometimes in my pocket with Sync turned off and Sound muted, the phone would get warm by itself. That's funny.

I installed action launcher, removed animations and thats about it. Right now I'm downloading the wicked rom to install, but I don't want to lose all of the samsung features such as, "smart scroll, s beam, multi-window, etc). Would you happen to know if the wicked v2 rom removes any of those?

im tired of the lag too.im on stock rooted with all the gimmics disable , my gf gs3 is alot faster. gallery takes about 2 sec just to open.
hopefully is fixed. had the htc one but battery life on it doesnt compare to gs4 .

If you don't want to be rooted to "kill the lag" go to recovery mode and factory reset and reboot. Do not touch or do anything with the phone for 5 minutes before setting up.

Im stock rooted, running Faux's kernel. I ALWAYS disable animations in Developer options....that alone eliminates much of the lag in any phone. Also, you can disable the S Voice connection to the home button.
Lastly if you want an incredibly ultra fast experience in scrolling and app drawer.... Install Nova...and make sure to make scroll speed "faster than light". You will then see how fast this phone can be when not slowed down by animations. The nice thing about Touchwiz, is that the settings and notification tray look fairly stock JB....so it matches great with Nova.
This S4 is FLYING....so friggin fast, zero lag, great battery life!
Try it out!
Cheers.
