Scrollable widgets in ics sluggish - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For me the scrollable widgets in ics are pretty laggy. In particular the Agenda and Social hub widgets. If you scroll trough them, it doesn't go as fluent as in normal apps and is actually pretty laggy. Can anybody say whether this is normal behavior or not? I've done multiple wipes and re flashes but this behavior stays the same. I'm on the stock ICS rom

As I said I did that so many times already. And I just asked wether it is normal. Read the post people ffs. Don't tell me to go to another rom, just wether this is normal or not -.-

Oh and I asked the other one to be closed because it was filled with answers like yours which were pretty irrelevant to my question.

Actually, I have the same issues with both my phones... the scrollable widgets (Pure Messenger, Pure News, and Pure Calendar Widget) don't respond over 50% of the time... this is using Slim ICS on both a Samsung Galaxy S (I9000M) and a Samsung Galaxy SII

because if youd bothered to read up on anything you would see that scrolling in general on ics isnt as good as it is on gb. Making two exactly the same threads asking if it is normal is a bit pointless.
But hey, try making a 3rd thread asking the same question. Maybe it will have changed

I have yet to find meaningful information on scrollable widget issues in ICS. I'm not condonining the OP's multiple thread creation, but this is one of the top Google results related to the issues, which indicates there isn't a whole lot out there.
Can you please point to some relevant threads? From what I have read, there are absolutely no issues with scrollable widgets and ICS, and that all apps have all been properly patched already.
Now I know this isn't the case, because neither of my phones are working properly... it's not a ROM issue because both are flashed from scratch.
My only guess is that it's a launcher (Go Launcher) + app (Pure Widgets...) issue.
Can anyone confirm? A few comments/reviews on the Pure Widgets apps on the Google Play Store seem to agree with me.

As a follow-up, I have found out that the issue is due to Go Launcher... I tried the latest beta version (v3.00 beta 1) and the issues disappeared!

Is there any way to remove the fake icon from status bar though, that's really annoying.
Thanks again
Install Facebook 1.5.2 it doesn't need GPS to work. Its an old version but atleast you won't need an extra app or the ugly icon in ur status bar.

x1 freaking billion. Wtf, take TWO seconds and search people!!
I did search. I used the "search this forum" at the top. Two results came up, this thread and another just like it, without any information on how to make it work. I'm not going to search for hours in detailed advanced searches and read every post in an "issues" thread. If the search cannot find it, then I ask about making it work.
Certainly no-one held a gun to your head and made you come in here to read it.....
Just use the website. It works great as it actually is more usable thanks to its tablet formatting.
The newest version of the facebook app for Android looks like the old one for the iPhone right?
If you look in Development there is one that has a nicer icon.

As has been said a million times in here. all talk of ICS should be kept to the one thread until there is an actual release for our phones. The rest is just noise clogging the forums.

Battery Problem

Since upgrading to ICS i have a problem with the battery.
Firstly, it drains a lot quicker. But worse than that, if i plug it in to charge the charging indicator comes on but the phone doesn't charge. I can leave it for several hours and battery percentage won't have increased at all and the phone is absolutely burning red hot! So now everytime i need to charge my phone i have to switch it off to charge it. This only happened the day i upgraded to ICS.
Anyone else had a similar problem?

(you really searched for "hot"!? )
Use a bit of common sense. Why do you think it would get hot? Logically, two thoughts come to mind
1). Something is making the CPU/GPU operate at a high frequency - see my previous reply to find what.
2). Something is wrong with your hardware - contact Samsung.
There may well be further points, but it's a start for you.

As for the battery issue, you need a control to measure this against. Like someone mentioned earlier go back to GB, if the problem goes away then you can atleast be confident its to do with ICS. Are you on stock ICS (unrooted?), in which case you probably best getting in touch with manufacturer. If you've installed a custom rom etc, try reinstalling the rom
AAAaaw this thread had so much potential..... but it ended soon
if your on custom kernel or rom it could be kernel issue.
it could be a modem issue
so the answer remain go back to stock GB. no custom rom/kernel

To get an accurate response to this question, you should email Samsung.
You are asking a question regarding the release date of an official Samsung firmware, on a non-Samsung affiliated forum.

Messaging

Hi there
I am struggling to find some info regarding the stock messaging app. Does this app lag scrolling up and down through conversations? This is the problem I have, you can see the screen tearing while you scroll slowly up and down, which is horrible and no matter if I try to do a factory reset (using kies or flashing firmware with odin) the issue will not get fixed. I think Jellybean has broken this app.
Does everyone think the same? I am 90 percent sure that this did not happen on ICS? please heeelllpp

You have to use another app. The stock one is laggy and long to open. Like the dialer.

Well go and complain to moderators then because I have always used general sections for anything else not related to dev or bug reporting and never had a problem..
Now go and find something useful to do instead of crying mama..god.

I understand.
I do agree that the ICS messaging works faster than that of JB's. It is a stock thing, so I believe there is no fix yet? Tsk
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
So you did notice the ics app faster and smoother. I was really confused because there were 2 updates and I couldn't find out which one messed it up. I don't think there is a fix yet. I only asked Samsung and they told me to call the S3 support but I didn't.
I do believe there are going to be more updates for the S3 even another version of Android which hopefully will fix it. I did ask a few people but theu said their messaging app worked fine but I think they didn't notice what I meant or they wouldn't care too much.
You can install jkays framework on stock odexed Rom and then with his deluxe settings app (paid) you can lock dialler and contacts in memory,.......regarding the tearing whilst scrolling, this nearly always happens when you have an accumulation of too many messages I keep my inbox pretty clean and never experience any tearing

Slaphead: I am talking about a few mesaages not a huge list; I have tried a lot of things which will never work. Unfortunately have to live with it until Samsung releases an update I think they must be aware of this? I wonder if any of the developers around here knows what is the issue and if anyone has implemented a fix on any other roms.
Try this...go developer options and check "force gpu rendering"
