Home lag on verizon versions?!?! *LAUNCHER REDRAW updated w/ vids* - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i don't get it...how has no review shown this at all?
when you go home, the phone lags out for like 2 seconds. you can't switch screens..it's like it's unresponsive for a second or two before it starts chugging along. this wasn't shown in any video at all.
try it with keyboard up or without..you'll notice it with keyboard, because when you hit home, it takes like 3-4 seconds for the keyboard to dropdown and go away..that's bc it's like hung up when you're going home.
anyone else notice this? other than that, this phone rocks.
*edit*
the issue is def launcher redraw. when it's redrawing, it doesn't allow you to switch between homescreens or open folders, and it's a delayed response if you attempt to. hopefully our devs can do a modded launcher that won't redraw, or we can get some kinda bulletproof launcher script going.
VIDEOS:
of course when i went to film it, i couldn't get it to do it. took forever, but i finally got something. it isn't the 100% frozen issue, but it shows it getting caught mid-home screen because it's trying to redraw the launcher.

**NOTIFICATION DROPDOWN LAG SOLVED**
and here's the super annoying notification dropdown lag on the lockscreen (this happens when youre on the launcher and you unlock..if you're in a settings menu and your phone locks, and then you hit power and do the dropdown on your lockscreen, it WON'T lag like this..it will only lag if the last place you were was the launcher. wtf is up with this stupid launcher? lol)
turns out that you CAN NOT set a homescreen wallpaper to NON SCROLL, or else you get this annoying lag. as long as you set a wallpaper to SCROLL, then it won't lag at all. makes absolutely NO sense, but yeah. just tested.

Can you explain this a bit more? I am not entirely sure what you are referring to. I assume you are saying when in a messaging app and you have the keyboard up? My keyboard drops pretty quickly but i am also using thumbkeyboard. I've always had issues with stock keyboards.

I just got my vzw g2 and am not experiencing this problem. Will update though if i notice it at all

Mine doesn't do this. Sounds like you got a dud.

lol i doubt i got a dud. although, i did have to return the first one the second i powered it on bc of dust under screen adn dead pixels. they gave me such a hard time because they're a bunch of morons at corporate stores and weren't going to let me exchange it.
had to lay down the law on their asses. bunch of douchebags lol
anyway, doesn't happen everytime...any of you use swiftkey? when youre using the keyboard and you just hit home, it stays up for like, 3 seconds or so. it's getting caught up somewhere with the launcher perhaps.
oh well, no biggie. phones sweet.

must be only you. Mine is faaaast

Confirmed it does it with swiftkey, not iwth stock

Guess that's why I never noticed it, I use the google keyboard, still no issues.

No issues at all here either... gonna try to root it later

ha i should've known it was swiftkey! bah.
i remember when i got the gs4 there were reports of swiftkey literally lagging down the phone by just being installed, even when not in use.
i LOVE that keyboard, but damnit, they really need to optimize it correctly!

Have to agree about SwiftKey. It lags on my nexus 7. It is absolutely frustrating on my gnex. Seems to run fairly well on the nexus 4 and on the s3 with aokp.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

eh just uninstalled swiftkey and it made no difference. it's like when you go home, wait a second and then start scrolling, or else you'll notice lag. i'll just stop trying to be so speedy on my phone

A phone with these specs shouldn't lag. I sure hope the bootloader gets unlocked so aosp can be installed. That made a huge difference on the s3. I personally haven't gotten the phone yet. I am trying out a nexus 4 on t-mobile. Unfortunately, I get no signal in my house. So t-mobile is a no go. I was hoping this could be my next Verizon phone, because my gnex lags terribly. Using this nexus 4 is spoiling me quickly.

Yeah man, sorry I gave you an early approval that SwiftKey was working smooth. It does most of the time, but I have major lag when the keyboard is up and I hit the home button to get out of Hangouts. It takes up to 5 seconds at times. :banghead:

yup! so it's a combo of swiftkey and i'm thinking the launcher perhaps. i now wait a second before i start moving around in the launcher, or else there will be much lag and delay.

New YouTube App causing G2 to crash

Is anyone else having issues with the new YouTube app that was recently released?
Every time I press "back' during a video playback the phone freezes & crashes on me - is this happening to any of you??
yup. Happens to me each and everytime. I can only remedy it with a damn battery pull
Same happens to me, I had to force a reboot though ADB (It didn't fix anything when I uninstalled Youtube from ADB effectively killing its process).
It crashed once while watching a video and I pressed the back button. However, I've tried to recreate the issue and I can't get it to crash at all now.
Nope, working perfectly fine here.
It locks up on me when pushing the "back" button, too. Battery pull required. Boo.
Looks like I'm not the only one having this issue.... I hope they update it soon, the new apps pretty sick!

Hmm.. seems like I'm one of the few for whom the new Youtube is working perfectly.
It does the same thing for me - near frozen when I hit the back button on a video. The first time I did this I had the patience to eventually go through a power-off sequence (15-30 seconds between hitting buttons and getting a response). The second time I just did the 3 finger salute to reboot it.
Note that you don't have to pull the battery. Power-VolumeDown-Trackball is an instant reboot sequence (though it did take 5 to 10 seconds to perform it when Youtube was acting up).
Just a question here... most of you with issues do you have 1st batch/pre-release G2's? I only ask because I had a pre-release G2, and I had a crap load of issues with it. I sent that one back for an exchange to Tmobile, and got my new one yesterday. I have zero issues at all. New YouTube works great, I have full signal now, and, well the phone works the way its meant to work.

Ironically, Tapatalk runs craptastic with this build and I've found the keyboard lags the most while using it to post here.
It does seem app specific. I'm at a love hate relationship with this build.. I'm teetering on going back to 2.1 or working through 2.2's issues.

This is not the right thread, your answer is the web browser. This occurs during pinch and zoom.

So for me even with all keyboards off and device keyboard settings off i still get some missing keys.
I believe I may have found the source to the problem though, as this problem seems to still happen even without any software keyboards. It must be in the os or driver, my issues are always with the keys that when long pressed bring up a menu choice of softkeys.
Mostly s,e, and l i notice it the most with. i.e. long press e, youll get; è é ê ë ę ě ē. If i try mupltiple eeeeeeeee presses i get this popup occosanionally as if i am long pressing and you can clearly see it misses some of the presses for e, also try mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm or ppppppppppppppppp i never have the lag issues with these as when long pressed they just repeat with not pause and popup.
I think the lag (loss of letters) is due to the OS interjection monitoring the length of keypress to determine if this prompt should be shown.
What would be great is if a developer could determine what controls this feature and strip it from the rom/kernel/driver whatever it is. I will never use this as it is only for non-english charachters anyway.
Hopefully the right person reads this and looks into it, as i feel this could be the source of our issue.

Oh wow weirdest thing... keyboard lag was still there for me when I first flashed the phone. But about 20 minutes ago I dropped my phone while in the shower (first time :O) and the keyboard got a little wet. Now my buttons don't feel "sticky" and I can type a million times faster without missing any letters. I'm so happy haha.

[Q] Keyboard Lagginess on display units

I just got home from Best Buy where I played with their Xoom for about 20 minutes. Anytime I tried to use the keyboard (in the browser or just doing the google search on the home page), the keyboard only registered like 1/5 keystrokes I made. The line "just testing out this new xoom" would come out as "j tesgo t ewom" or something like that. I watched as I was typing and it looked like the keys were lighting up. Is this just a bad display unit or does the keyboard really suck this bad?
Let me put it this way, I am typing this on my xoom almost as fast as I can type on a computer. It does get laggy in the browser on more complex sites, but it shouldn't lead to that much mispelling. The keyboard is at least as good as the ipad in terms of speed.

Best Buy has some crappy units on display for some reason. ANGRY BIRDS lagged when I used the one at Best Buy.

The xda forum makes the browser lag like crazy, probably because of all the elements that are on the page at once. Use the xda app instead.
Not sure, but as far as my personal experience goes, every single floor unit of any device I've tried is always slower than the real thing. With the amount of abuse that the devices get, and in the case of Android the people messing with things that they don't know the reason for make everything laggy.
I remember using the Galaxy Tab at a T-mobile kiosk and having it run pretty smooth, then trying one in a Sprint store than absolutely lagged out and crashed several times. It really depends what people have been doing to them.
Let me also +1 the Xoom soft-keyboard- between the responsiveness and accuracy of the touchscreen, the size of the keys, and the medium autocorrect setting, what used to be a chore typing on soft keyboards has now made sending E-mails FAR easier (which my client certainly appreciates, as now I respond to E-mails coming thru in late at night or early AM much faster ).
I found that when I went to bestbuy the display unit was terrible because everyone installed apps and put a ton of widgets on the desktop. When I actually got my own xoom it was perfect and never had any issue browsing or using the keyboard. So I guess the point I am trying to make is that its more what people put on it then the unit itself and when you have tons of people messing with it a lot of things get screwed up.

The unit at the best buy I was at didn't have a google account tied to the device. You couldn't use the market, gmail or any google application. So nobody put extra apps or widgets on there. Maybe they messed with the settings? All I know is the keyboard was horrible. It would enter a couple letters, miss a couple letters. Half way through typing something it would auto-close the keyboard. Something must have been messed up, I guess. Otherwise I assume everybody would be complaining, which they aren't. I just wish I could have tested the device with the keyboard working correctly so I knew what to actual expect since I'm still on the fence between this and the ipad 2.
Sorry but its not the store unit's fault. This is something ive noticed and subsequently been annoyed with using my Xoom. Usually its while im using the keyboard in the browser window. It just cant keep up and misses keystrokes. It wouldnt be so bad if the keystrokes were just behind, but it lags enough where it doesnt even register some keystrokes. but like i said this is mainly in the browser. Plus for the person who mention Angry birds, i noticed this myself. Which is something thats alway bothered me about Non-Apple(dont shoot me im not a fanboy) hardware/software. If there was one thing i never experienced on my iphone/ipad it was subsequent slowdown while using apps and such. Everything was as quick the first time as it was the last time. Slowdown to me is a major nusiance becuase it seems to happen in intervals as apposed to consistantly. i hate that. Sometimes AB is smooth as silk other times its choppy, but i never know why or when.
I have noticed the lag too. Not on all sites but some especially XDA.I have seen many others complain about the same thing in other posts. Obviously an issue that needs to be corrected by Google in an update.
I have yet to see any lag playing Angry Birds.

Interesting since the unit I messed with had a ton of stuff. The only time I have noticed some keyboard lag occasionally was in the web browser when on some intensive websites but other than that seems to be fine. As a note you could try out a different keyboard on it if they actually have a Google account such as swift key and see if that helps. Also id see if you can go to another store such as Verizon and test it out there since normally it works well without lag for me.
That is very strange, I played with my new xoom and it was quick on all apps except for SBM but it makes sense since its not optimized yet but as far as browser and keyboard I haven't experienced any lag yet. Side note Google body was very underwhelming.... more for children then Med students or anything past high school.

My problems with the keyboard are how it freezes up during a keystroke and the only way to stop it is to turn the Xoom all the way off. It can be a bit laggy, but it seems to depend more on the app being used vs the keyboard its self.

Ya it probably depends on if the app is optimized yet for honeycomb so the keyboard lag issue should be fixed when everything becomes more compatible.

Has anyone else noticed that this phone as no lag?

I have noticed that whenever I start up an app it's open before I can react. What I'm trying to get here is that in my personal experience with this phone I haven't had any instances of lag, and frankly I haven't had anything but performance that I thought wasnt possible yet.

Yea the phone is pretty damn fast. I loved how everything stayed snappy even when the phone was under stress.
I would occassionally check my task killer and saw over 15 apps running, but the phone would never slow down.

Don't worry, it's an Android. The lags will find you sooner or later.
Yes, mine does freeze up for a couple of seconds here or there, not often and not long but yours will too. "Droid!"
yeah I am totally pissed that my phone is missing the lag feature that I grew to know and love on my captivate. Many times I set the phone down waiting for a task only to realize it was done the second I set it down. Stupid phone!
a phone with no lag!? gee wish i had it : P
mine lags on the dialer screen when manually dialing numbers and will ring a few seconds on a blank screen before the slide to answer screen pops up
I want to see how the phone holds up after people have been using ttheirs for a month or two. I remember my Captivate being that fast when I flashes back to stock 2.1; my Nexus 1 is just as fast and I've been using it for about a month now.

[Q] Do you guys have any lag issues?

What do you guys think of the keyboard lab issues? Lag with opening the notification bar?

I have from time to time a lag in the notification bar when I try to pull the bar down. This happens most often when I get a notification while the phone is in sleep mode. Waking up the phone and then pulling down the notification bar is often after the second or third attempt possible.
I had the same lag after unlocking the phone and trying to pull down the notification bar. Annoyed me to no end and people thought I was crazy... glad to see I wasn't the only one who isn't blind lol.
Thanks guys. Do/did either of you have LauncherPro installed? Was the lag any better?
if you want smoother scrolling through the menus and whatnots, launcherpro is the way to go.
there is lag here and here but unlike the stock android with motoblur, i can live with this type of lag. it's not even that bad at all - with launcherpro.

Hmm...thanks guys. Anyone else have this issue? And does freezing MotoBlur/using LauncherPro fix this?
Yes, using another launcher does fix it.I'm using go launcher ex and while the drawer isn't as smooth as launcher pro's (i think because it's skinned), the home screens are smooth as butter, like launcher pro's. Freezing and replacing moto's stuff makes it a really good phone!

I like the phone but I just feel that these lag issues are going to annoy the hell out of me after a while...Bell doesn't have as long a policy as 30 days so buying this phone just to try it out is more trouble than it's worth I think...
Thanks,

He is making tons of mistakes while typing, and it sounds like he is blaming it on the phone. Watch his fingers.

I agree on what you said, but any chance this is the fault of the phone not being able to keep up? I've seen him do the same thing on the Nexus S and not make any mistakes...maybe it's just me.
Anyone else have lag issues?
Does the lag go away with the latest update?
You dont need to freeze anything to get it running smooth. Just remove all widgets/shortcuts on blur since any launcher you install would run on top of it

I heard Go Launcher does the best job eliminating all lags.
