What's with the really bad apps2sd support on lollipop? When I first started the phone most of my apps that are on my SD card weren't launchable now Only a few of them that I know of aren't launchable. Also noticed the lag when you press the bottom left soft button is really bad...

So I just installed the new Synergy ROM from Myn's Warm RLS4. I love it, but in addition, I was hoping that the new ROM would get rid of my slow home screen refresh. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it is super annoying. Even if I go into the app drawer while the home screen is loading, the apps in the app drawer are loading as well.
After i flashed Synergy, the phone was incredibly snappy, due to its fresh wipe. After I used Titanium Backup to reload my apps + data and Launcher Pro to restore my homescreen the slow refresh came back.
I've hypothesized that it could be due to the amount of widgets on my home screen. However, this does not explain why the app drawer is also slow to load. Which leads me to believe that my 16gb class 2 MicroSD is the culprit since I've moved a majority of my apps to my SD card.
Will bumping up to a class 6+ help with my issue?
TIA
I've had the exact same problem from time to time. Also slow sometimes changing to landscape. I've got a Class 10 SD Card so don't waste your money on a new card. I'm hoping that it'll be fixed with the next release. Otherwise, the ROM has worked perfectly for me.
I'm having a problem with my Xperia Home (default xperia launcher), sometimes when I connect my phone to mass storage mode then after I disconnect it some app icons on the launcher will move to the last page, it is annoying because I have to rearrange them and fill the spaces in the launcher (their original position). Also happens when removing and reinserting the microSD card. Experienced the problem on Stock ROM and NXT LE. Is anyone also experiencing this problem?

This is normal for apps that are moved to SD card. You will find that all the apps that move to the back are the apps that you have moved to your SD card. Since connecting SD card to computer and removing SD card both cause the phone to lose access to the SD card, hence the apps will be gone until you plug sd card back in, when which the apps will end up at the back again. Hope this helps
I've encountered this problem as well. Unsure as if to why this occurs, but there isn't any hope of Sony giving us an update.
I see, thanks for the info, any fixes yet? If none yet what launcher can you recommend? Something simple and light
If you want a light launcher, use zeam launcher. If not I will recommend Trebuchet or just use the list by alphabetical order function in xperia home.

Thanks! I'll try those
I've have just recently noticed some really bad lag and delays when taking photos and moving into the gallery from the camera to preview the photos. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Let me know.
I have noticed this too. I just brushed it off as being touchwiz lag
I also have noticed this.
Yup. It's really annoying too since I don't think there's a way to set a time duration to see the photo you just took. It's either on permanently or not, so you have to exit the gallery to take a photo if you have preview on.

no lag to phone memory
I set all my camera and video to the phone memory and save everything else to the card
by chance is your settings to save to sd card? If it really annoys you, try saving to phone memory and move from camera to that, it is like a .2 second transition for me.

Mine was doing it before I even put in a memory card. Great thought though since phone memory should be faster.

I'm having the problem. I have also found other transitions are also slow, but that one is pretty regular.
I wonder if EVERYONE has this problem. I was going to claim a defect on this and get another one. If everyone sees this problem, then its obviously not a defect.

Yea I do have an SD card so maybe the photos are saving there. And when I press the preview button it is taking a while because it needs to access the SD card. Good thought.
It's the only lag that I've noticed on this phone, so far. Hopefully it'll be a software fix. It is kind of annoying.
This lag is driving me crazy...does anyone NOT have it?
Lag here as well...
It is pretty bad on my phone. Appears less like lag, and more like just freezing up. It eventually starts working again, but it just sits there for a while. Annoying.
Same here. Wonder if the new update fixes it.

Nope. For me anyway...
I experience lag going to the gallery from the camera app as well.
Sometimes it's lag. Other times it freezes the phone.
This happens with and without an SDcard installed.
This, the Recent Apps lag, along with other hiccups is making me not want to purchase another Samsung phone.
same lag here
glad to see it's not just me but also more disappointed that this is an issue I am sure they already knew about, before the update to 5.0, using unlocked att version so an ota will not work for me, it will have to manually installed. hoping to see something soon, since the camera is one of the biggest reasons I chose this device. my estimate is that we will not see anything to fix this, from either samsung or att.
On mine it takes about a second to switch. I don't call it lag. How long does it take on yall's.
It might be because I have a Developer Edition and had to flash the Lollipop update and kernel myself instead of taking the OTA.
Hi All,
Wonder if anyone can help. Since I've rooted my phone to CM 12.1 (now working great! Thanks F4K!!!). The only issues I have is that the Music app and Gallery app don't read the music/photos directly off the sd card (only when moved to phone storage). does anyone know a way around this or know of any music and gallery apps that would read directly of the sd card?
Also, would anyone know how to stop the soft key lights coming on when touching the screen? I've tried the device root app (I think its called device root not 100% sure). When I've downloaded it and set the switch to turn of soft keys when touching screen, it always switches itself back on.
Thanks all!
My phone is now good two years old. It doesn't show its age externally which is why I'm not exactly jumping to replace it, but it does have some "internal" issues.
Recently it became quite jerky & unresponsive. This shows in apps just not snapping in, animations tear & crack all over the place and, well, it's just not smooth. Actually, this is so bad that it's even hard to answer the phone because it just doesn't detect the swipe, so sometimes it takes a second or even third try.
So I decided to go from CM based ROM to a stock based ROM. Made a flash, a factory reset and rebooted the thing. My next step is to restore my apps with titanium backup, so I install it from Play Store, install the Pro key and then restore all the apps (some 40 of them). I'm not sure if this plays much of a role because even if I don't use TiBu to restore, the same thing happens anyway.
At first, everything was smooth again. But in a matter of hours, the phone was jerky again. This came as a bit of surprise as normally it takes around a week (but it always becomes jerky). I swear I'm not doing anything taxing with the phone. I uninstalled all the apps that I thought might be causing this, but nothing had any effect. I'll now go back to the CM based ROM because it suits me better in some aspects, but I've just about had it with all this unresponsiveness.
Is there any way for me to detect what it is that's causing these hiccups? Is there a rational explanation for my woes?
Try to reboot in safe mode and see if it becomes jerky again after one or two days...or hours.
If it becomes then is a hardware problem.
If not try a full wipe install your fav apps but don't restore any data.
Do you have an SD card in your phone by any chance? This phone suffers from slow SD cards. I have a Kingston SD Class 4 card and the Gallery, Messenger, and some apps just start freezing and being unresponsive. Ordered a Class 10 UHS-I Samsung SD Card......lets hope it works better. The phone is super quick when not using an SD card on stock 6.0
Thanks for the suggestions. Since I don't have an SD card in, I'll attempt a safe mode probe to see if it helps.
