Whatsapp Lag

For all you whatsapp users, do you notice any lag when using the app itself? Whether it be switching between conversations or just loading the app in general? The biggest issue I see is typing to people, it lags really bad and is quite annoying. I've tried several roms / using a clean whatsapp installation but they all did the same thing.

Nope. No lag on 4.0.4. If you want lag (when opening, that is) try the WP7 client.
Be thankful.

Hmm what rom are you running? Did you change any specific settings?

i have a stock galaxy nexus (international GSM) and its also very laggy. especially when typing on the keyboard the keys can't keep up, its pretty annoying and would love to know if there is a fix for this.
imo also lags when typing.
running 4.0.4

Solution.

Did U in Stock Rom or Custom ??
please give any specification detail.. for ur Q..

i don't know if this is related but i had a similar problem on my Nexus One. What happened was Whatsapp's data was getting too big. I had to clear the data and lose all my current chats, but this fixed the unresponsiveness.
No problems so far with my Galaxy Nexus.

When you clear all your chats do you get removed from your group messages as well?

i have the same typing issue/laggs with my Stock 4.1.2 nexus here. Do you found any solutions ?
The laggs starting when i send more then 4 or 5 messages one after another, very annoying -.-
(newes Whatsapp version is installed)

Not for me, at all.
Have you tried turning on forced GPU rendering in developer options? I know it at leat helps making the scrolling smoother in WhatsApp.

Jellybean Keyboard lag?

Hey,
I'm having some keyboard lag input on my Galaxy Nexus running Jellybean... I noticed it in applications like facebook messenger (sometimes) and whatsapp.
I find this very annoying and would like to know if anyone got the same issues or even ideas to fix it?
I had this problem on ICS, too.

You could be running a bunch of background **** that lags other apps. I have a pretty clean Nexus with next to nothing running in the background and I have no keyboard lag.

Yes, i have the same lag issues, so much for proyect butter, now the keyboard lags even more than on ics , i use whatsapp a lot and the lag is quite noticeable

The first thing I noticed about my GNex (coming from a Droid X) was how lag-free the Keyboard seemed.
I was super impressed.
The first thing I noticed on JellyBean was that my keyboard seemed a bit laggy despite all of the smoothness in every other UI element.
Maybe once source hits it'll have been improved.
Keep in mind...we're using a "preview" build currently.

As I said I am running Android 4.1 Jellybean, on ICS I just got these lags from time to time...
It's very annoying typing with such a keyboard, sometimes it doesn't respond to keypresses what means that it skips letters n' ****..

I haven't noticed a lag...

No lag as such on mine, but for some reason I find myself mistyping more frequent and hitting shift and delete rather then 'a' and 'l'. Probably just me though...

This is a little off topic, both does facebook messenger work as expected in jellybean? For me there are no messenger notifications since I installed jellybean. I have to manually check if there are new messages.
As per the keyboard lag, try a different keyboard. I use Swiftkey 3 and I'm very happy with it.

Try going to settings/ language and input settings/ Android keyboard settings/ advanced settings and uncheck next word prediction. I remember I lagged A LOT and it seemed I was hitting random keys. Idk if this is related but I restored all my apps and data and the lag was horrible even throughout the entire system so I did a full wipe and only restored apps with NO data. Haven't had a single issue since.

Using German keyboard, sorry. But why don't you try to save "don't" to your dictionary?

Yep, getting TONS of Whatsapp lag. While scrolling, even the keyboard.

Getting a lot of lag but as soon as i turned off vibration when keys are pressed in the input settings it stopped majority of it but now its sometimes mistyping

Same here, but mostly limited to Whatsapp + Swiftkey 3 combination and only in landscape mode.
Swiftkey 3 works perfectly with no lag at all in all applications included whatsapp when used in portrait mode.
The same with the standard android keyboard.
In landscape mode, I can write SMS and other stuff (Facebook messenger etc) with Swiftkey 3 with no lag (at least at my writing speed I am experiencing no delay).
When writing with WHATSAPP and Swiftkey it is a disaster... after a sentence i have to wait half a second for the last word to show up after having typed it!
Things seem a bit better with whatsapp + android keyboard in landscape but still a bit laggy.
It seems tome it is mostly a whatsapp problem after all.

Android 4.2 Issues on Galaxy Nexus

Hello Guys
Let's share the bugs that everyone experiencing with the new stock JOP40C Android 4.2 for Galaxy Nexus
I'll go first
I have a problem when in a call the phone keeps doing a weird vibration and once i done the call i find the phone on the homescreen and have to go to the notifications menu to hang up
the other issue is randomly force close for the launcher and some apps
the camera is very laggy when rotating from landscape to portrait
anybody experiencing those issues ?
Ok guys anybody experiencing random reboot on the stock android 4.2 Galaxy Nexus
You can star this for Google to fix : http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39912​

I am not. Also, and unrelated, I'd like to point out the redundancy of your title. Android 4.2 issues on, say android 4.0.4 would be revolutionary, but as you've directed this... Anyways, did you update ota, or flash the image manually? I've read of many issues from the image flashes prior to ota, that I haven't experienced at all since my ota on my drive home.

In stock browser in full screen mode i'm having a weird effect on loading bar on top, don't know if thats supposed to be like that or not.. just strange and sometimes the adress bar becomes bugged strange behavour

Yeah you might wanna reword that title...
Anyway, this update SUCKS!!!!!!! I was trying to be positive about it... Focusing on the cool new stuff... But then that shifted to at least neutral with the crappy changes.... But now this just sucks!!!!!!!!! I just got my first launcher FC EVER!!!! On my galaxy nexus.
No root, never flashed, been stock all the way on this phone just like any regular user. I used to root on my tmobile g2 but decided to keep my gnex all stock.
So what he hell!?!?! Force closing stock launcher!?!?!? Are you freaking kidding me?!? This update is turning into a total joke, its not funny google! Your pulling anAPPLE move on your most loyal customers(nexus customers!)
EDIT: this is a rant.. I was pissed at how badly 4.2 has screwed my phone up. But no i didnt mean the part about being as bad as apple..
I do think 4.2 sucks though. Especially compared to 4.1.2, in my experience they seemed to have sacrificed new features and "style" over stability with 4.2

Drama queen, much?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

"the camera is very laggy when rotating from landscape to portrait" --> Yes, this is extremely annoying.
And also I find that when the camera shot in landscape mode, about 10% of the upper and lower part of the viewfinder are cropped (i.e. the things you actually shot are more than what you saw in the camera app)

1). I don't have problem with phone call
2). Yes, launcher FCed! But only happened once after first reboot after flashing factory image.

No, just needed to rant
Plus the fc had just happened like 5min before i posted that. It was weird... I was browsing here on chrome, then pressed the home button and tried opening the launcher, and it got stuck loading for like 10sec... Then fc'd. Soo i tried again and it got stuck again and fc'd. Third time it finally worked.
I expect these things on rooted devices or custom launchers... But on stock its just sad, especially when it's never happened before the ota.

Mines running very stable.

Flickering in Notification Bar
I have observed one strange thing on takju 4.2, If the notification window in already pulled down and and suddenly some new notification comes(like sms, email etc), all the notifcations start flickering wildly till I clear them all.
I am on stock no rooting nothing.

GNEX 4.2 default browser
Hi
Really hope someone can answer this for me, I've got a stock GNEX just got 4.2 by deleting my Google Services Framework cache and hitting update. Everything seems to be ok, but I still have the stock (blue icon) browser, I thought the default browser is chrome on 4.2. Also I don't seem to be able delete it, no biggie just annoying to have an app that I'm never going to use.
Anyway to remove it manually without rooting etc..
Many Thanks in advance to anyone that can answer this

Only issue I've noticed so far is the camera rotation is indeed very slow on my phone too.

Now, in 4.2, every notification makes my phone vibrate. This doesn't happen with earliers versions. I don't know if it is a "new feature", but I don't like it.

According to Google : Chrome is not part of the AOSP but for the new devices such as Nexus 4,7,10 it's the default browser but old devices like Galaxy Nexus i guess for now the default browser will be the Android Browser , who knows maybe with next major release of Android that will change
As for how to delete the default browser you need root privilege to delete the app apk from the system apps using something like Root Explorer

I had three soft reboots already since yesterday (at least that I noticed, maybe more while I wasn't looking). This is a clean install (flash_all.sh from the factory image).
To hell with it, I'm going back to my beloved CM10.

[Q] Scrolling lag for some apps.

Hi guys I have lag while scrolling up and down in some apps and I want to know if there is a fix for this annoying thing.
I've tried a lot of custom rom (samsung based) and kernel so I think is not this the problem. I installed the App seeders too, but nothing.
No lag for contacts, gallery, menu, etc... Only for this apps:
-facebook
-tapatalk
-ebay
-amazon
If there is someone else who have my problem please post here. So I understand is not my own problem.

I'm aloooooone...

i have one. its the stock messaging app from official samsung ROM. this happened after i flashed the official 4.1.2 from France DLL4, since i cannot wait for the OTA updates. i'm from PH btw.
anyone having the same problem after updating to 4.1.2?

Try scrolling cache. It's an option in omega, but I'm not sure if anyone posted it as a standalone mod on xda yet.

Its not the matter of big screen also. I have sgr it lags in it also though i m using cm 10.1 in it with projet butter and i have seen s2 also it lags the size of the doesn't matters at all.

So we had to wait upgrade for the applications.
Apple store in this is better than play store. At The moment.
I hope that in the future this will exchange.
But apple had only 3 device to follow. Android have a lot of device to set. This is the problem.

There are seemingly MANY unoptimized apps. The one that sticks out like a sore thumb is WhatsApp which, without fail, will stutter when scrolling through my chat list.

[Q] Text Messages Disappearing After A Certain Amount

This happened to me on my old note 2 on many various rom's, now it's happening again on my new note 2 running novella...
After sending a certain amount of text messages or mms's, it'll stop displaying new text messages and if I go into the text message list, nothing is there at all... Until I reboot, then all my new and old messages show up again.
Any idea's? Being a heavy texter this gets really annoying, it's happened to me 5 or 6 times today at least.
It happens in Go SMS Pro, Samsung default SMS and any other SMS app.

Found these two threads
Text Messages Disappear @ Android Central
Note 2 Text Messaging But @ Phandroid

Are there any reports of this happening on the S4? I saw it was happening on the S2 and S3.
So if it's happening on the S4, then the Note 3 is out of the question for me and I'll buy another phablet to avoid this issue altogether.

Sounds random among Samsung devices. Hasn't happened to me yet either stock or non-stock.

From what it sounds like and all I gathered from the 2 threads specifically about other Note 2 users having the same problem is TouchWiz is the culprit.
Dialing my own number letting it pick up and go to voicemail and then the dialer/phone fc'ing and hanging up afterwards fixes the problem until it randomly decides to happen again.
I'm thinking of trying a non-touchwiz rom and seeing what happens.

Yup TouchWiz seems to have been the cause of my problems, been using PACman for a week now and not a single text message disappearing error any.
Just kinda sucks not usng TouchWiz it feels like something is missing a lot of the time, first time I went to take a screenshot I tried to use the S-Pen three times in a row then remembered. LMAO

Giving MyRom Revolution 7.1 a shot, it looks like the perfect mix of TouchWiz UI and Others...

Not sure what it is that's exactly causing the problem, I've even tried disabling samsung's sms app and it still happened sometimes, I never changed anything in the app settings, but it is odd that when I don't use a touchwiz rom I don't encounter the problem at all.
I'm really hoping they fixed it in the s4 and 4.2.2 and it'll be fixed forr the Note, S2 and S3 with that new release of jelly bean.
Trying out MyMiUi 3.5.10, to see what happens, kept getting a lot of FC's in MyRom Revo 7.1, but I do wanna keep some touchwiz stuff and it'll also be an interesting test to see if even though there's very lil tw integration if the problem still presists with that lil bit of tw incorporated in the system.

Well uninstalling Stock TouchWiz SMS App is a solution pretty much I've found it hard to trigger the bug again it really only rarely ever happens anymore, before it would happen multiple times a day being forced to reboot and or dial your own number... So if ya don't wanna go with a CM Rom, this is the best way I know to avoid it from happening so often.

Im on stock touchwiz and I have over 10k messages stored on phone. Stock messaging app aways crashes when I try access thread with thousands of messages but go sms has no problem with this high count.

That's what I've been using too GoSMS, GoSMS has a default/uninstalled stock sms app option, where if ya uninstall the stock app it'll act as the stock app.
