Recently bought the Microsoft Surface RT with pre-installed 8.1

I find that swiping to the right as the method for going back loads faster than the in-browser back button.
Hope that helps.

That's strange. On RT 8.0 back button is faster then swiping and also when swiping you can't touch or scroll anything until loading ends, but when using back button then you can.

I am also having this problem and noticed that it does that on IE Desktop and Metro. It is really annoying. It does not do that on my Note 2. I timed and it and it sometimes can take up to 10 seconds. Also has anybody else have issues with closing tabs. Sometimes the tabs become stagnate and can’t be closed unless restart IE Metro. I am currently running the Surface RT 8.1 with the latest updates. I love my tablet, but the whole browsing internet explorer is ruining it for me.

It's a lot better than it used to be. But it's still a little slow.
Not sure on the "swiping right" thing. I'll give that a go, I usually swipe left to go backwards.

I have the same issue with Surface 2 running 8.1. Swiping to go back one page immediately loads a "preview pic" of the last page, but until the page is really reloaded it doesn't allow to scroll. This can take quite long for slow / complex sites.
I also noticed an additional annoyance: after a few hours/days of use the swipe back function seems not to work anymore (sometimes it still works but doesn't show the panning page, and sometimes it does not work at all anymore). I need to restart Metro IE to make it work again. Did somebody else notice this?

please help - TP2 driving me nuts

I have the tmobile TP2 for two days and I have two major issues.
1. I can't scroll smoothly for the life of me. Flicking in the all people menu goes way far and slow scrolling seems impossible without turning into a tap. Same thing in the slide bar and pretty much any situation that involves gestures.The touch screen response seems exagerated/extremely sensitive for most of the time and other times lags or requires several taps. I calibrated the screen but don't see much improvement. Does anybody else have the same problem / is it the hardware or just a matter of learning curve on a very "touchy" screen?
Is there a way to adjust the scrolling speed and the screen sensitivity?
2. going online is extremely frustrating. most links in webpages don't work in either IE or Opera, not to mention excruciatingly slow load (I bounce between edge & 3g) and several attempts to open a website (screen turns white and freezes)
Is there a way to obtain a half decent web browsing experience without being tech savvy?
I really want to like this phone but it's becoming too frustrating/time consuming to accomplish some of these presumably simple tasks like the ones mentioned above.
thanks in advance for your response
1. You're probably just used to using a capacitive touch screen like on the iPhone. When flick-scrolling on a resistive screen, you have to apply pressure. Don't apply so much that you are pushing down on the screen, but you shouldn't be brushing the screen with your fingers. That is probably what's causing the accidental taps you experience.
2. Don't know about anyone else, but here are my own tips to make my browsing experience extremely satisfying.
-disable java script and plugins. Most sites don't need them to work and this makes your pages load faster. Only turn them on when you absolutely need them.
-use your fingernails to hit links. Hit them once firmly and trust that the browser picked it up (it often does). Zoom in to small links to hit those.
-don't use IE
What sites don't work for you?
thanks for the reply. Example of site that doesn't work: realtor.com I cannot enter search data at all (i.e. zip code).
I tried your suggestion about scrolling but I am not able to scroll slow (i.e from one contact to the next or second next). someone who owns a tilt mentioned that there is a way to tweak the scrolling/screen sensitivity. Do you know how?
Thanks again

...That's where I've been going wrong, patience not being one of my many virtues
Song list
I'm having a similar problem: I like to listen to Arionradio.com, but I cannot get the browser to show what song is being play either on the main site or when I use the Arion Radio Player; I can hear the song fine but does not list whats playing. Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you for taking the time to reply!
Have you tried the SkyFire browser yet. it is a Full java enabled browser. I just went to realtor.com and did a search for my zip code. It worked and looks just like it does on the computer.

2 mango niggles - Otherwise perfect

Other than these 2 niggles, I gotta say my HD7 with Mango is near perfect...
As I said, niggles... Not complaints or faults...
1. To fully exit an app you hit the back button. To keep it live and available to be jumped back into you hit the home key... Only issue? If you want to fully exit an app, but the back key in the app has another fuction like web browsing, you sometimes have to hit the back key 10+ times to fully exit...
2. When the home screen is fully scrolled to the bottom, the people live tiles pictures resets blank...
Oh, wow, because you sure have to freaking close the apps all the time. Or people will see your midgets porn?
I have several flaws to blame. But making a topic cursing the OS because you need to close the apps and its dificult to press the back button, and worse, the "People live tile resets blank". Seriously?! Does that bother you so bad?
The guy is entitled to post his opinions
There's really no need to exit a program fully unless it's actually a program that runs in the background (which will use your battery correct?). Else, just leave the browser.
If you're really going to be anal about exiting the browser, just go the browser tabs and hit the X. Now if you hit back it'll exit...
Like he said

Just stuff that bothers him, we all have something...
Having to press back to close apps does annoy me a bit. I know i technically don't need to but personally I just like having a clean multi task menu.
OCD ? maybe... just personal preference and the guy and myself are entitled to opinions. No need to get so angry about it.
So far...I've yet to even bother closing the application.
I just keep pressing the HOME key and I rarely get any problems.
By the way, how do you get rid of the Music Menu once you've started it? For example, when I press the volume up, I see the music track there with pause, play, etc. I don't see the music app running in the multi-task menu.
Anyway to exit out of that?

No need to get so angry about it.
I find topics like this helpful for me making a decision of when is the right time to return to WP7. It may not be a bug (the back button) but it's good for me to know what to expect shoudl I return.
I wouldn't have thought having the browser left open would be an issue but thanks for highlighting the porn, that might cause an issue.
Things that really niggle with mango.
1. Pressing the unlock button and there being a delayed animation for alerts and the date to come up, this was not present in nodo and really annoys me.
2. The jump tiles for apps. I think it looks really ugly, maybe if they were filled in tiles rather then the outlines it my be more aesthetically. Personaly i liked the serach system in symbian s60 5th where it was a jump to but the jump to would dynamicly change as you spelt a name out.
I have a few annoyances.
1.) Can't navigate to previously opened pages after closing IE. The back button turns into closing the app instead of previous page.
2.) Now this one is HUGE for me. All number fields should show up in the predictive text or be flagged as textable. I have multiple contacts who have work cell phone's as well and multiple businesses where the number is a cellphone. It's extremely annoying when I start to type the name and i get no results.
Another example is with voice commands "Text Frank Smith" i get no option to text the Work cell phone even though our entire conversation thread is from his work number and there has never been a text sent or received from his Mobile number.
Other business contact with the Work number only have no option to text the contact. I either have to hit the plus sign and scroll down or go to the contact and scroll left to history and click one of the previous text's.

Um. You know... there is this thing called Prozac. It worked wonders for me!
If you look at the topic: 2 mango niggles - Otherwise perfect. That hardly sound like a scathing criticism. Maybe you are being a little defensive?
Mango does have issues, but remember people use phones differently and never come across certain useability issues.
Yeah, it can bother, but would you create a topic to speak how bad is Mango because it resets the People Tile? I noticed it too, but it make your experience worse?
Apps in background DO NOT consume your battery. It's not in background in first place. It is "frozen" in memory. So there is no need to close (using the back button) the apps. Unless you really want to close for whatever reason.
Something that really bothers: not resuming app when opening toast notification. You just cant chat with someone else if not by MSN or Facebook, because it turns to be frustrating.

There is a very valid reason to want to close apps using the back button. If you don't close them that way, they consume one of the (arbitrarily limited) 5 cards in the app switcher. If an app is one that you know you won't need to go back to any time soon, it makes no sense to waste a card on it, especially since Microsoft decided that we didn't need the ability to remove cards from the switcher.

Exactly that. If there are 2 or 3 apps i'm using at once i like to have a clean multi-task card to switch between. Once i'm done i close them all.

cannot use "back" button - excessive ???? in history

Recently I have been noticing that I cannot use my back button. I'm using IE9 and clicking the back button doesn't seem to do anything. If I click and hold the back button I can see a list that is:
http://ads.xda-developers.com/tags/3884
If I click on the bottom of the list and click and hold again I get a long list of the same url. If I do this eight or ten times, I finally see the actual last page I visited. I'm not a programmer but I believe that what is happening is that all the ads on the page are reloading several times.
Is this my setup or is this happening to everyone? This has never happened here before and it happens nowhere else. I have found sites that don't allow the back button or somehow reload the current page but I have never seen this long list of seemingly meaningless identical urls.
What's going on?
I am having the same issue. Anyone ever find a solution to this?
You had another thread like this. Are you sure it is not just your back button? Are you clicking it right lol. Again, please for the good of humanity use a different browser. You will be very happy with chrome or firefox. But because many do not use IE, they cannot help.
Also the link is broken for me.
And does this have anything to do with XDA? I think Microsoft have their own dedicated forums for this kind of thing.

[Q] Default Messenger App Randomly Opens

Hi,
So I got an HTC One M8 when it first came out, loved it right from the start. However, since the start, I've been having various software issues. The gesture controls never really worked for me, the on board music player app never really worked for me either (to be fair, I think that's because my SD card is dying)...however, the biggest annoyance I've been having is that the default text messenger app randomly opens.
By that I mean, I can be doing something on my home screen, tapping away in an area that has nothing to do with where my messenger app is, and all of a sudden I'll be in my last text conversation.
I have sent my phone out for repair once and they re-flashed it. The problem persists after that.
Any suggestions?

Does it do that with just the messenger? I mean... The area on the phone where the messenger app is, have you noticed at all while in another program or something that that area gets "tapped". If not then we can probably exclude a hardware related issue kinda like a "stuck button" on the touch pad.

Tried that, just a moment ago. Moved my messenger app over along the bottom and put a browser in the spot the messenger app was. However, now my phone is randomly launching the Car app.

better yet check to see if it "draws" on the line test.
*#*#3424#*#* It should give you a screen with "HTC Function Test" at the top, press accept, select Line Drawing test and press on Run. Touch the screen once and wait for it to tell you to start drawing, just leave it then and see if it makes marks on the screen or not.
Just to check if maybe it's an issue with touch pad.

It might be a hardware problem then I don't think there's much that we can do on this side. I find it funny and odd that the service center you took it too didn't run these kinds of tests themselves and just instead decided to "reflash" (If they even did that).
Hopefully though the problem is software related somehow and perhaps a complete restore would fix it, but we'll see.

Have you got any mods going? Xposed for example? Something might be on like swipe up/down/left/right to launch an app etc. Must be something like that or it wouldn't only do it on the home screen.

No mods, Only thing in terms of swipe commands I have running are the default HTC Gesture commands which launch things like the camera. They don't open any of the apps that have been acting up.

Question Keyboard delay

Have any of you experienced a lag in the keyboard popping up in some situations. I'm using gboard on the latest update and it's so annoying I have to wait for the keyboard to come up

No major issues for me thankfully. Only minor ones I've experienced is that the "1" and "0" keys on the keyboard have a small delay before they appear. I'm guessing edge detection is a little aggressive to make sure I wanted to tap those keys?
And taking video sometimes has this weird wobble effect in the video with occasional brightness flickering on walls for instance.
Other than this, everything is great. It will be fixed in software updates. I still haven't downloaded the latest one which said it improved video so maybe this is already solved.
I have not had any problems. Not sure if matters but I always set the phone from scratch, no copy apps or backups. The most I do is export settings and import setting for some apps.
For me, it has proven to avoid a lot of "weird" things...
Not sure if this is the same issue OP is having but I've noticed since day 1 that there is a noticeable delay when pressing or long pressing the keys on the edge of the keyboard. For example, there's about a split second to full second delay when pressing the backspace key. So that means, I have to wait for that delay and then wait again for the original delay if I want to delete whole words at once. It is super frustrating.
I did some testing to see if maybe it's because I'm using gestures and the delay may be caused by the phone detecting the edge touch and waiting for a swipe inward to go back, but that's not the case as it happens with the button navigations too.
Looks like my issue is known and has been around for a while, even though it was not present in my OP7 Pro as of last week when I switch to the 9 Pro.

I've been using SwiftKey and haven't had any issues at all. It's the opposite actually, typing feels very fast and smooth, keyboard always appears instantly and the haptics when typing are very satisfying. Hope it gets fixed for you guys.

I've never once encountered the problem you're referring to.
I Use gboard beta (this is better anyway because it has all the cutting edge sh1t), and turn off all system animations.
Problem fixed. You're welcome.

Sadly I can't update just yet as the install fails, likely due to me flashing the EU boot image on my global variant. When I update I hope my issue is fixed. I also just realized that my issue is a tad bit different than OP's. I decided to make a short video for you all to see, link at the bottom.
I started typing in the center of the keyboard so you can see how quick and responsive it is. Then I go to the edges and you'll see there's like a full second delay until the phone picks up the touch for the key. For the scrolling, I tested along the entire edge and it was the same which leads me to believe my issue is not a keyboard typing issue, but a full screen edge touch delay detection issue. You'll see that when I start the scrolling in the center of the screen, it's quick and smooth. When starting the scroll from the edge of the screen, it initially jumps before scrolling smoothly.
I swear it almost feels like the phone detects the touch on the edge but does not register it right away and instead waits a second to see if I will then slide in from the edge to go back since I'm using gestures. But I tried using the button navigation instead of gesture and the delay is still there so idk at this point. I can confirm that this issue never happened on the OP7 Pro that I'm coming from.

I swear it almost feels like the phone detects the touch on the edge but does not register it right away and instead waits a second to see if I will then slide in from the edge to go back since I'm using gestures. But I tried using the button navigation instead of gesture and the delay is still there so idk at this point. I can confirm that this issue never happened on the OP7 Pro that I'm coming from.

Same here. The 1 and 0 keys have a delay. I assume this has to do with edge touch rejection and it's be nice to have some settings to change this behavior, like Samsung has done (if that is the issue). Could be gestures as well with the OS wondering if you'll do a gesture, but it should not be this much of a delay. It is annoying for sure.

Sadly I can't update just yet as the install fails, likely due to me flashing the EU boot image on my global variant. When I update I hope my issue is fixed. I also just realized that my issue is a tad bit different than OP's. I decided to make a short video for you all to see, link at the bottom.
I started typing in the center of the keyboard so you can see how quick and responsive it is. Then I go to the edges and you'll see there's like a full second delay until the phone picks up the touch for the key.

I'm pretty sure it's due to the gestures. I just tested it on my regular 9, same problem, it takes a fraction of a second to realize I'm scrolling and not trying to do a gesture if I'm at the edge of the screen. Does it happen with button navigation?
