'Loading' screen for 3-5 seconds? - SOLVED!

Hi, there.
I'm on Vodafone in the UK and my new One X displays the message 'Loading' with the moving circle underneath every time I return to the homescreen or come out of a programme (for between 3 and 5 seconds.) I've only had the phone for a day and have arranged to have a replacement delivered on Monday, but I wondered whether anyone else has noticed this? It's obviously a dealbreaker but I can't see any other threads, so am I right to assume I just got a dodgy phone?
(I also have a yellow spot on the bottom left of the screen, so I'm not sorry to be getting a replacement.)
Thanks in advance!

The loading screen happens to almost all the OneX out there but if your planning to unlock bootloader then you can use SuperCharger script or one of the custom ROM which already has it. Otherwise you have to live with it.

Gosh, really? I mean this is just infuriating - every time I exit something, there is a reeeeally long pause before I can do anything else. Does that happen to all the phones? Every review I've read talks about how fast this phone is and I would have thought a three or four second hiatus before a new task can be started would have been mentioned somewhere within the torrent of praise I've read for the One X.
I've just come from a BlackBerry Bold which was much quicker and the iPhone doesn't pause like this - if the new phone has it, I'm going to have to rethink.
Is this something others are also experiencing?

It's been a common problem with Android that's why we have SuperCharger script. You'll be suprised how of them are using that script.

Solved!
I have solved this!
Go to Settings > Developer Options > Scroll down to Don't Keep Activities and UNCHECK it.
Solved!

Doesnt that disable multi tasking?

I believe so. A quote from Android Developers website.
Immediately destroy activities
Tells the system to destroy an activity as soon as it is stopped (as if Android had to reclaim memory). This is very useful for testing the onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) / onCreate(android.os.Bundle) code path, which would otherwise be difficult to force. Choosing this option will probably reveal a number of problems in your application due to not saving state. For more information about saving an activity's state, see the Activities document.

app problem
For me the activity that restored normal time (instant) when going to the home screen was deleting apps I had installed today. I uninstalled Adidas MI coach app and boom, the loading circle wasn't there any more.

Probably, if you were to check it. The OP has indicated that he got around the problem by unchecking it. In which case there is no effect on multi-tasking. I don't think that is the default setting anyway's, so somehow the setting must have got set on the OP's phone.
Also not sure why it is being said that this loading time is common. It isn't! I have never seen it on my H1X and this would have raised a big concern over usability of the phone....

[FIX] Fix the yellowish screen tint!

Warning!!! As someone commented he was totally unaware of this problem until he used this fix and it destroyed his experience with his phone
[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen! :victory:

You just destroyed my life, I'm seriously miserable now. I haven't noticed the yellow tint AT ALL until I tried this filter. Now I see it and it bugs me a lot.
The issue is: although this filter solves the problem completely, the phone is sluggish as hell, the graphics / UI seem slower than a low end Galaxy phone. That makes me sad, I'll have to live with the yellow tint forever

Dude I updated the post, I found another much better app/solution, this doesnt bug at all and is always on, you wont notice it is even running :good:

Yeah, this one is better but it's still much slower than usual... it's like the phone runs at 60 FPS stock and with the filter on it goes down to 24 FPS.
It's not really SERIOUS, it's just that the colors are kinda yellowish or you know when you set the color temperature too high on the TV? It's kinda like that. But the colors are nice anyways. It's still much better than the Galaxy S3 with that HDR Pixar Everywhere that gives me a headache. HAHA
Thanks for the tip, anyways! It works, after all.

Mine shows up only when XS is at high temperature but I hardly notice it ( I only got a slight tint at the bottom).. Its -0 Degrees where I live so no worries until summer

Xperia Ion Yellow Tint
My Xperia Ion lt28h have the Yellow tint, its unbearable with white screens, but its good at watching videos.
Screen Adjuster works fine, didn't notice any lags though.
However is there any possibility to mod it through the rom. If so that will be a great option.

I'll look into it

Interesting app, but I think my screen was already ok because by increasing the blue level, now the screen has a blue tint on gray backgrounds. For example, the settings menu is now literally blue and no longer gray.
Am I one of the very few lucky ones who don't have a yellowish screen?

Cool
Works great

Oh, and by the way, try running Quadrant or another benchmark with this app active, enjoy your halved performance.

... Runnning Antutu once without using this(8291) and with with(8262), every test is unique and thats why it differs,
Few people have experienced some lag(maybe heavy use of RAM even without this app), but i have not, I have not yet noticed lower performance nor any battery drain
Having facebook, viber, twitter or something like those installed on your device draw much more performance and battery than this, and for me the screen and music playback is the most important
Not meant to offend

Are you sure the app was on when you ran the benchmark?
Anyway, the score is not really halved but reduced nonetheless. Antutu is affected by this too (usually I get 8400, with the app active 7900), at least on my phone (stock .50 rom stock kernel).
Also, I don't use facebook or any other ram-eating privacy-raping crap.
The app definitely reduces the phone's performance.

Found smthing
Hi, I have the yellow tint issue on my Xperia Ion, its not deepa than SXS yellow tint, but whites are yellowish and colors are more saturated,
Im using your fix, and it helps a lot.
However recently i found out something, i was playing "Cut The Rope" game. And after i exit the game my yellow tint gone 100%. And after some time (30mins) gradually yellow tint came back. I was wondering how it happen. Then i discovered if your in a green color image that covers the screen for while yellow tint goes.
But don't know how it happen and why..

very good apps. feeling like just got a new screen. but yes, like some said its unfotunately very laggy.
Phone: LT28H
Rom: Paranoid Android CM9
Sent From My Xperia Ion Using Xda Premium

The app is really great but makes the phone sluggish,I believe this can be implemented at kernel.Most of the GNex kernel that i used have a color multiplier setting which controls the whole screen adjustment
Maybe some developer can try it out for Xperia S,I love this phone even though i use it as a backup to my Gnex??

free lag
hey, i mde a lot of test and i found a better way to solve it and dont have lag at all, just put brigthness about 70-75% and that solves all!! no color values at all, and no lag youre welcome

[Q] Weird artifacts instead of letters?

Hello,
I know I am not a most active member of XDA comunity,but I am lurking here for a while now.
I tried to search across the forum to find help for my problem but couldn't find it.
Here is what happens.At some parts of a menu(app order or blinkfeed themes) letters are not shown the way should be,but I'm only getting some weird artifacts instead.
When I accces setting menu through those artifacts,my setting menu is shown same way,but if I acces it normally,through an app screen(home>settings) letters are shown normally.
Since English is not my native language,and I have trouble to explain and describe what my problem really is,I attached 3 screenshots therefore.
This is an ebay phone,so I don't have a guarantee list what makes xda my first choice in trying to solve a problem.
Thank you in advance
Cheers

Back to the civilisation...
I tried to turn phone on and off several times but no success at all.I searched all over the internet to find people with similar problem,and have actually find quite a few,but their problem was broken screen,where artifacts were always on the screen,and not only on 2 menus with submenus.Since I haven't been at home,I did most of my search on the phone,and of course,at the evening,battery was almost drained so I put the phone on the charger over the night.Unfortunatelly(or maybe I should say luckily),somehow the connection between phone and the charger was loose,and was interrupted,so till morning,phone was really dead.After connecting it to a charger,it needed couple of minutes only to get a charging light,but after turning the phone on,the artifacts were gone!Everything was as it used to be,
Conclusion:
Where the problem was?I really can't say.
Like I said before,I tried to get rid of those artifacts by switching the phone of and on several times,but it didn't help.
I haven't done a factory reset primarily because I was to lazy to even think about adjusting the phone again,not to mention doing it.
And at some moment,when O was already at peace with those two menus shown with artifacts instead of letters,charger situation happened,Seems that battery draining and recharging it again had some weird connection with artifacts on the screen.
Thanks everybody for,at least,reading my post
Cheers

S9 PIE Notification panel lag

Hey guys, is it just me or there's something wrong with my phone. The issue I found is that whenever you're using a non-infinity wallpaper, the notification panel, when dragged from the lock screen, is so laggy. I can confirm it is with the infinity wallpaper because I tried reformatting my phone and the problem is resolved, but then when I changed my wallpaper to any non-infinity wallpaper, even samsung's stock ones, the notification panel lags so much

I'm having the same exact issue after updating to pie today! It is really frustrating and I hope there's a fix for it.

I think we're the only one having this annoying bug

If you have not factory reset since updating to Pie, that will likely be why

I see this too with a static wallpaper. The first bit of travel (about the thickness of the status bar) is a bit bumpy. It's nice and smooth with an infinity wallpaper.

Edit: it is smooth with Google's love wallpaper as well.

Found that the issue (using a photo taken on the phone as wallpaper) goes away when reducing the screen resolution to FHD+ from WQHD+
Also, only seeing lag from the lock screen - seems fine from the home screen (unlocked)

For my case, the frame drops are still in there after changing from WQHD to FHD, but they are noticeably lesser. And yeah, works fine in my home screen too.
EDIT: So I guess you were right, FHD+ solved the problem

Are you on CSA2? Because I have the build from December. Pie CRL1, I think there are better optimizations in the later build since changelist numbers are different. Will try flashing CSA2 once I finished downloading it, when it's still no luck, maybe try a hard reset then.

I'm still on the beta, but I've never experienced that problem.

Yep CSA2 but did not have the problem with any builds even betas

I have this exact same issue as well. It came up in the last beta and is still happening on the final software even after a factory reset.

Hi, just updated to the new software (Dec firmware) but I am still having issues with auto rotate stack widget on my fold 4. Can anyone don't mind help me to test pls?
To replicate:
1) Have stack widgets on cover screen on home page and 2nd page, press and hold, edit stack and have auto rotate on for both pages.
2) Turn off cover screen mirroring
3) Unfold phone
4) Fold phone
5) Edit stack setting on cover screen.
Does the auto rotate widget switch to off on the home page? How about the 2nd page?
Thanks!

Lock screen disappears on front screen, just can see the wallpaper.

Yeah, this bug happened awhile back in OneUI 4.x (which got fixed by a keyboard update if I'm not mistaken) and now it's returned. I avoid using the Fold to reply in a forum... I have to resort to using different device.
