Anyone experienced this? The launcher reloads when using the browser.. :S
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
I have the same issue. Normally it's after using something memory intensive like games or a long browser session my launcher would blank out and take 3 secs~ to reload all the icons.
Seems to happen more frequently than GB
yeah indeed i have the same feeling that it's happening more often. never seen this issue on any other ICS device though.. my friend has a galaxy S2 and i can do what i want without the launcher redrawing ..
Do other browsers like dolphin etc do it too?
Same problem here. Looks like launcher have a really low priority.

I am using Dolphin and it did redraw.
I have a feeling though because I was updating and reinstalling apps left and right that the ram was eaten by the running processes. As of yesterday and today it hasn't refreshed on me. But then again I haven't been using the phone intensively.
Is it not the home launcher rather than the browser?
i dont have this problem. browsing via chrome beta, opened tapatalk (and whatsapp n trillian running) while listening to Walkman, the launcher doesnt redraw whatsoever.
i freeze several apps though, like google maps, powersaver, update centre, basically any apps that i dont use but in the Running Service.
Maybe the fix I used for previous android versions will work with ICS also? I'm pretty sure it fixed the issue on my Arc with ICS, am yet to try it with my Xperia S. Will need root however
In a terminal:
Code:
$ su
# echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop
Enjoy
Value is already set by 1 as default
:cyclops:
Adding
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
To the bottom of the build.prop has solved the problem for me! :-D
Since this is kinda like the same issue i thought I post it here...
Since I have Nova Prime installed I redraws everytime I unlick the phone after I havn't touched it in a while.
Any suggenstions? Thx
Try what I said, works perfectly for me

Well, thank you! I gues I have to root it then. So I will wait a few weeks. Currently not I the mood to do that.

Looks great so far. The Home launcher is much more responsive so I can do away with ADW EX for now.
Kind of wish there were more small apps, but browser, calculator and IR remote are great choices for those and they work terrifically.
What do you guys think so far?

When is 4.0.4 coming!!! :-D, so far so good on my end, seems more responsive. WIFI seems to stay on and work a lot better.

Uninstall from settings and go in as market... That fixed it for me...
The tablet was initially very laggy after the update but a reboot seemed to fix things, with the exception of the notification menu. It stutters very noticeably and is extremely annoying. Many apps also don't rotate properly anymore.
Still better than Honeycomb despiute those drawbacks.

DAMN YOU SONY!!!
Things i hate:
- this annoying wifi keepalive issue is still there!!! there is no way to keep wifi active during standby -.- damned why don't they let us users the choice... there IS an option to set the standby behavior but its still completely useless....
- sometimes there are widget issues (doesn't matter if 3rd party or preinstalled) that widgets change into editor mode when just pressing a button like update... changing screen ang going back will fix this temporarily... had this 2 times now...
- auto brigtness issue still not resolved... in low light the screen is MUCH too dark and when changing from full brightess to automatic it keeps full for a while and then goes down to min
- homescreen lag is still too much in portrait
- forced portrait is still not changable (damn i'm righthanded and want to hold it on the ROUND side when portrait is forced!!!!)
- the new ICS launcher... Sonys previous own launcher had a better overview with the sorting possibilities but ok we can have folders now...
- still no thumb keyboard -.-
things i like:
- media from SD card is now directly available and nut just for transfer... finally i have enough memory also without root and mounting stuff ^^
- the new mini-apps are nice but there is still much potential for more apps
- the new version of "Favorites" App is very nice animated and faster
- ICS possibility to deactivate system apps that are not removable... finally i get this google music player away
- a few other ICS related things...
ALL IN ALL this update is a big disappointement... they updated to ICS, integrated one or thwo new features and that's it??? all the big issues are still there since more than six months!!!!!
I have personally had a fantastic experience with the ICS update. Everything seems faster across the board. Menus more responsive, faster browser, better keyboard response/feedback. I also like the ICS look and feel and the mini apps. Really happy with the update so far.
I used to be able to DL directly to my SD Card, and using ES File Manager to move files around. Now it refuses to do so. Anyone else having this issue? If not, what file manager are you using?
My tablet seems to have gone really slow after the ICS update.
I tried a factory restore to ensure that I didnt have too many things installed and decided to start afresh. Didnt help. The tablet is still very slow. While the touch is responsive and I like the features of ICS like slide to dismiss, reading files directly from SD card etc, I definitely donot like the amount of lag I am noticing.
All my apps seem to be really really slow.
My Honeycomb seemed to be far more faster irrespective of all the issues that it had.
Any suggestions anyone?? I am on non rooted US version 16Gb Wifi.

I'm thinking of buying the sony tablet s. I've read on various reviews that this tablet's battery life is not that impressive (Honeycomb0, is that true? And btw how is the battery life after the ics update? Is there any improvement?
someone can connect tablet with PC on MTP usb
i tried many times but i couldn't
ics update
i havent played around much since the update but the little time i did spend with my tab i found it more responsive and smoother.... i am liking the ics update... dont know why others having issues but i think we should give it a couple of days so that all issues are ironed out....

On the first time, it took a while to show up as windows tried to reinstall the drivers for the tablet. Maybe you should keep it connected on USB and wait for a while and see if it shows up?

The problem with that app from the market is that it keeps the device awake when you turn off the screen, and it eats through the battery.
On the Android phones I've used (Legend, Desire, Arc S), the WiFi remained connected, but the phone also went to sleep, battery drain was minimal.
This is the behaviour we were expecting to see in the ICS update, but unfortunately it hasn't been fixed...
Hey, i have a 3g tablet, because that i have to wait for upgrading.
But i have an important question for hifi guys: What is with the IR-Remote app...
Are there any changes to the App on Honeycomb?

I too thought it was my phone..I had still have this issue, three phones later, and it still exists..I use Chrome Browser now and Facebook works fine but wouldn't you think there would be a "fix" for something like this..Problem is, not enough people give a sh*t about this..Just sayin'...
Experiencing same problems with Dolphin Browser HD... anytime I try to go to a specific post (e.g. a status update or a photo) Dolphin freezes up.
Haven't had the same trouble with Chrome; however, for some reason on Chrome all photos are tiny. As in, "I can't identify people" tiny.
I had used ICS for sometime since the update was available for my phone (Live with Walkman) and I was very happy with the new UI of the new Android 4.0. I really liked the Holo interface and everything but there was a "little" problem: I use to play games a lot, and since I updated my phone, there were a lots of games that aren't compatible with ICS. The task manager from ICS will be the things that I will miss the most, but however I do not regret to had taken this decition. Now that I downgraded to GB everything seems to be better (specially the games part) and the first thing I do is search for a new launcher, since Apex Launcher isn't compatible with GB. I used to have Go Launcher installed on my phone before the ICS update, but I really hate the new interace that this launcher has right now. But I found a really good alternative: Holo Launcher. It is pretty much the same as Apex, I really recommend it. :good: and i installed advanced task manager too, since GB doesn't have one.
There are a lot of possibilities to have Holo skin interface on GB (Xperia S + ICS theme for example) found on this forum.
So I just want to say Gingerbread rocks! :laugh:
and I will never upgrade my phone again.

Yes, i absolutely agree with you. I like the battery and packet data management from ICS. But many my apps doesnt compatible on it. For example apps that need J2ME runner, all fail. And the UI, i like GB much. If i want such a thing that comes with ICS i'll search it on internet. And .... yuhuuuuuuu .... found everything i need :laugh::highfive::good:

Well actually i upgraded to ICS then downgraded to GB (To play games of course ). But i missed ICS (especially google chrome) so much that i reverted back to iCS in a week Waiting for Jelly Bean now
i agree that GB still the best for gaming performance and compatibility with the most app

Actually the updated firefox is the best, in my opinion. No problems with the new version, the only bad thing is its a big install.
If you remove bloatwares, lww gives good battery backup on ics. Also games such as riptide gp, cut the rope run very smoothly.

I don't know but I don't think a Jelly Bean Update is coming for the 2011 Xperia phones, maybe it would be exclusively for NXT series (Xperia S, etc....) But I'm not sure, I mean if we have a Jelly Bean Update it would be great!
Never mind fixed it. Thx guys

Did you do a full wipe (not just factory reset)? Are you overclocked or undervolted?

Latest nightly cm9
Update it did full wipe and formate system. Put it on and install rohan tweaks and dpi 132.
And works for now... but browser still same went on a site and ping gone browser... re open it. No restore tabs or some thing.... it not cool on some sites hw does that....
The only way I managed to get decent video performance was buying Chainfire 3D and enabling the EGL drivers (yu need the purchase version for EGL.)
Aren't the Rohan tweaks outdated for use with the most current CM9 Nighlies?
and maybe i wil buy other tablet
If the nexus 7 comes for 100euro i buy one.... because like i saw in other thread. The touchpad isnt smooth..... not for me atleast. Webos was good but yeah im a gamer so webos got bored with 20games....
But yeah. I would only buy the nexus if it goes for100 euro. 200 to much for me and to much for something without hdmi or sd or even 32gb and 7" screen.
But yeah... and the touchpad is heavy after somw time in your hands... 700gr is a lot... to hold hole day..

I would try doing it clean once and install one of these games clean from the Store, and see if it still lags. At least that will help diagnose your problem. I've played several shooters without major lags on mine.

Try backing up and doing a clean flash. See if it's still slow. If it is, it's probably some app in the background or some app misbehaving.

I just did a fresh install from OaTs LnT to the latest nightly and I do notice the lag when swiping on the home screen (using Apex). Everything else works fine though, so far. However now that I think about it I reinstalled Apex plus data through Titanium BU, gonna try a fresh install to see.

Apex Launcher version 1.3.0 and newer lags on the touchpad. I reverted to an older version (1.2.5), things are silky smooth.
Hi guys,
Im on .242 android 5.0.2 stock rooted with xposed. I already have Lollipop Memory Leak Fix installed and it seems to help in making the phone not lag, but launchers still redraw often. I tried Nova and also Xperia home and both redraws a lot. I know that Nova has agreesive desktop mode but it doesn't help much. Sometimes it seems to keep it from killed but the home button still has long delay when the launcher wants to redraw.
Do you guys also have this issue? I thought memory leak fix would fix launcher redraw as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry to disappoint you, but you can uninstall the fixer app because Sony has fixed the leak in their firmwares. Sony apps and services, as well as some Google ones are big RAM hoggers, you can disable some of them.

Thanks for reply! Are you sure Sony fixed it? I was having major lag issues and sometime random reboots. Right after reboot, it was fine, then after a few hours, the phone started lagging. After installing the fixer, it doesn't lag at all now, and it's pretty consistent. But the only thing is, the launcher keeps redrawing. Pretty often.
Yup, 100% sure, there is a thread in Cross-dev section where @IaguCool compared some smali files and it turned out that Sony has fixed it.

Apparently what sony did is just implemented that fix you just installed. So you doesn't have to Install it again, it's pointless...it doesn't fix the ram and redraw issues...it happen to every lollipop rom not just sony. I think the fix will be in 5.1....if your in 5.0, chances are you have to wait for the real fix...
So I don't understand. If its already fixed, why is my launchers keep redrawing?? Its driving me crazy ? if I reboot, no redraw for about 10 hours maybe, then redraw starts again, when exiting every few apps.
Could anyone please let me know how to stop launcher redraw?
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Have you performed a hard reset before or after the lollipop update?
I followed the same advice after experiencing the same issues, I unlocked the bootloader so that it automatically did a hard reset deleting everything on internal memory, and it's been a new phone altogether.
Redraws sometimes happen with Chrome or apps that demand huge ram, but like 1/20th of the times.
No random reboots so far, it seems the right solution.
Just backup everything on the external memory and go back to factory settings.
You'll notice the difference right away.
