[Q] WhatsApp lag on JB XXLIB - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After some searching I could find a question about this, but some people told me via PM they were having exact same behaviour...
When using whatsapp, everytime you open/close the keyboard in a conversation it lags BADLY, like this, in big words. Tried several keyboards, full wipe, un-install - reinstall of the app and keyboards... None worked.
Running now Stock Deodexed XXLIB on every kernel (tried almost every, just in case...).
Can anyone else reproduce this? Can someone maybe tell me they are not having this, and if posible, attach a video of how does their WhatsApp behave there? (I'll try to record one on how it behaves for me).
I already reported this behaviour to WhatsApp as I suspect is their problem, but I use it like 1h a day so it's kinda annoying... Any ideas or help?
PS: Just adding I've tried tick/untick on GPU rendering and HW overlay and posible combinations of both
Thanks for kindness!

WhatsApp lag on JB XXLIB
Just t confirm all of that you're talking about.
Stock JB rom,or custom latest JB rom,no luck,always stutters when openig chat window and preparing to write a message.
Meanwhile i've gone for CM10,flashed Siyah 1.6.3 on top of it,and I don't have any of those problems anymore
And thank you for noticing that "little stuff lag/stutter",and if you're to much anoyed with it,like I was,make you're move towards CM10 :

It doesn't lag for me while opening/closing keyboard, but it lags badly on list scrolls, both WhatsApp contact list and conversation window. Like 10 fps or less. So annoying.
I am on latest WanamLite ROM, which based on sammy XXLIB.

So it's not present in CM10? I rolled back from CM10 because I had some problems with whatsapp LOL So if they are no longer present I may go back home then...
Sad having 100 readers and no reply though, maybe none of them had this issue or never used whatsapp?

[Q] ICS Browser issues?

Hey guys,
I've been running AOKP ICS (M3) on my GTab 10.1 WiFi for the last few days with flawless performance and very few issues. However, I am experiencing problems in the stock browser. After, several minutes of surfing, the browser becomes very laggy. Soon after pages fail to load and hang around 10%. At this point the browser is unusable. The problem persists until I close the browser and force close it. Has any one else experienced this issue on ICS? Any fixes?
Note: I have tried all of the obvious fixes like wiping cache, data, reinstalling from, etc.
Thanks!

It seems to happen on image and java intensive sites for me. I found using an ad blocker fixed most of the freezes. Other than that i think we will just have to wait for an update. (aircanada. Com crashes the browser on every visit)
Yeah memory intensive sites tend to cause this. I just installed an ad blocker, I'll see if it helps. Thanks for the advice!
I'm pretty sure once everything with tegra 2 gets sorted out completely, it'll work fine.
Same problem here
ics is more smooth than honeycomb, I don't want to flash back because of this glitch.
I have installed the ads blocker before but problem still
anyone have the solution ?
Guys, a bit OT maybe, but seems like a good place to ask
I was also trying this ICS build yesterday and loved what I saw, but there were two main problems that are deal-breakers for me at the moment:
- I can't subsribe to any Google services (gmail, reader, market), because there's no way to sync google account as as actual "google account",
- because of above, I can't install - from the android.market.com - apps that I already had, because it says I already have them installed; I have to look around the web for .apk-s and install manually
Did you also had those problems? Is it the same for every ICS build out there? Will this be fixed for the final Cyanogenmod9 release?
For the time being, I'll stay on GalaxyTask 13...
Well, the ad blocker definitley seems to help and my issues with the browser are far less frequent.
@antic604
I would do a full wipe, then install the latest version and don't forget to flash gapps afterward.
Try setting pluggins to on demand.
Same thing here on my asus prime, even if my plugin is on demand. I didn't have this issue on my prev asus. I'm very disappointed. This OS is just like a beta version. So the prime with ics is very bad value for the money. I don't know what to do, sell it or wipe and load a new rom :-/

Yeah I have the exact same problem.
I use Chrome Beta whenever the Stock browser becomes laggy and hangs, it's very annoying.
This problem I have and the face .avi files get deleted, I have placed a fair few series on my Tab and wanted to access some and half of them were gone.
This happened a few times already.

Games are rather matter of game developers not compatible with ICS I think.
this my problem :
1. Battery drain.If i used wifi,and switch it off...battery more faster decreased,have to reboot phone for make battery back to normal...
2. Dialer slow loading... am i used phone with 600Mhz???
I wonder,why there is no power notification widget in this update...
My issues:
A little battery drain, but ROM is recently installed so I will give time to stabilize.
Wifi is buggy. Takes ten minutes connecting one meter from the router. Wpa.
Any times takes half hour... And in other routers connects instantly.
Can be night elf kernel?
Notification led doesn't work for missed calls! I searched in the phone's menu but there is no option to enable it!

In GB there was an additional option to completely disable USB action. MTP/Mass storage + "Disable usb".
Browser kept crashing and crashing.
Problems with Google Picasa Web synchronization. The albums from my picasa account just don't appear when I want to upload new files. There's a problem with facebook-google accounts synchro.
Some apps shows 'segmentation error' when trying to move them to the phone (system apps2sd). Cleaning data, uninstalling and installing back doesn't help. Link2SD or other App2SD from the market does not help - a little strange problem, probably new installation could help
Sometimes app drawer seems laggy - in comparison to GB, which had quicker response
Poor memory management - GB seemed to run more user apps at the same time quite smoothly
That is all after one day of heavy exploring by my daugther
Hmm how its possible that the ics not running smooth by all??
Mine is ok, no lag in menu and homescreen scrolling (i use the xperia s home now) no lag when i open settings etc, app2sd is working fine on ics no problems (i use app2sd pro 2.50 the newest one) no camera problems no fc's or anything else, its all f*cking amezing and fast

I don't know if this is a bug or something... but the widget for favorite contacts is missing. I kinda like that widget...
I am not experiencing the camera, gps, and wifi problems that is posted here.

When you install it as a clean install it is faster,but when u update it via pc companion or flash without flashing user data it tends to get slower.So best way to move to ICS(or any other rom in that manner) is to do a fresh clean install

This is true people. YOU HAVE TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY!
The first time I updated it, it was buggy as hell!
I then did a clean install (repair phone on pc companion) then it was smooth running since then. Memory management is amazing, no scroll lag, UI is great, multi tasking is better... I dont know about u guys but im likin it!
OT: is the UI on this is different drom nordic? It seems that they aee hating the UI but I see no fault on mine.

I did a fresh with pc companion twice a time, 1st time i had the modded music player from xperia s, and i know that was tiving me fc's so i repair my Neo V with pcc and that was the 2nd time, so you are right bro a fresh brand new install is better !!!!

Official ICS Bug Report
Using this firmware for past 3 days now,
1. A little laggy Interface than GB, but using a third party Launcher fixes it till some extend.
2. Video recording quality is not as in GB. Also is choppy.
3. Gyroscope doesnt work in Maps. Checked with Compass Application works flawlessly, not in Maps.
I might switch back to GB soon...
Its not as if im not fond of ICS... But for me, its still a bit RAW. I really like the UI, functions, etc however its a bit buggy on the 3 main tasks wich I use my phone(Wifi, camera and temple run)... Untl these can be fixed, I thnk im staying with gb first. Btw, I find ics not to be laggy on its stock state however, once u install mods fr system ui and others, it kinda lags a bit. Too bad.

Anyone else on JB having any browser image load issues?

Is anyone else having any issues with jpg pictures not completely loading in browsers while on JB? Not quite sure when this started happening, but I made a quick video to demonstrate below.
First off, I am unlocked and I made this video while on Craig's Stock JB ROM with the original data location. I added the init.d, EXT4, and CtlSys mods as well as the JB Build prop from the other build.prop thread at that time and was having the issue so not sure what was causing it.
Now, I just did a fresh clean install of a brand new Hairy Bean 1.3 JB ROM with the data2sd kernel and typical install and before doing any titanium restores or anything else I went and tested the browser and found out the SAME thing is happening on this ROM??? Much less frequently, but I've had it still happen. Weird thing is if it DOES happen, if I rotate the screen then the whole picture loads and will be there if I rotate back.
Is this a JB glitch and is anybody on Stock JB having this issue?
If someone can go to post 383 on Craig's thread to test it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32345358&postcount=383
and click on the pictures as I did in the video can someone tell me if the pictures are fully loading in whatever browser you are using or sometimes does only the part actually showing on the screen load, and the bottom is white when you scroll? I've had this same issue on both the standard and data2microsd configurations.
Please check this video to see what I mean.

Thank you for your time.

You are not alone I experience the same problem. When you change from landscape to portrait and back then the image is fine again. So it seems a landscape rendering problem.

Thanks for confirming with me that at least someone else is having the issue. Found that it happens much less often with Chrome (but overall Chrome is much slower) and seems to never happen at all with Dolphin Beta.

[Q] GS2 and 4.2.1, video, keyboard and bluetooth issues

I've done as much searching on these issues and I cannot find anywhere that references my particular symptoms. I've tried both AOKP 4.2.1 latest release and supernexus 2.0, and the fact that the exact same issues happen on both roms I would assume it's either a 4.2.1 problem or just some particular issues with my device...
1.) just about every video playing app has some sort of problem. Biggest example being the Twitch tv app only playing audio, screen is black except for menu options. Trying to go back crashes the app. flash video embedded on Web pages (installed flash so regular browser supports flash) works until you try to watch full screened, which makes the browser lock up until you force the process closed. youtube, like the twitch tv app, will only show a black screen where the video should be, however everything else shows up fine (examples being menus and, most interestingly, the preview pics that appear as you scroll through the video show up, but when it buffers it's back to black screen) For the record, I had to install the fix here to get netflix to get even that far, as before it would just stick at the loading screen when trying to play a video.
2.) SwiftKey loses its languages after each reboot where typing does not bring up any predictions (boxes where they would be are blank), and the only way to get it working is to go into languages in SwiftKey settings and updating them. I saw some other places describing the same issues with jellybean but i couldn't find if there was a solution.
3.) connecting to my car via Bluetooth and listening to music (power amp currently installed), if i get a call while music is playing the device will lock up for several seconds and the only way to get everything back to normal is to turn off bluetooth once the phone actually starts responding, call the person back on the device, and then reconnect via bluetooth and continue the music only at that point.
Any help or guidance or info on any of these issues would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
if any of the issues I mentioned are discussed elsewhere that I just haven't found, would anyone be able to link me to the thread/article where it's discussed? or if there just isn't any way around it, let me know so I can just put an ics rom back on

Why not drop back to 4.1.2 rather than ICS?
Bluetooth is a know issue with 4.2. Never seen the swiftkey issue before, but quite a few apps are not compatible with 4.2 yet.
SwiftKey is a reported bug with the gs2

the video issue is the biggest issue in terms of affecting my day to day use, as i like to watch streams from twitch.tv as well as having netflix that works (has anyone seen or heard about the netflix issue i described? thought that was particularly weird...). I guess I could try a 4.1.2 rom before going all the way back to ics, but if it means more apps/features are stable and compatible compared to either version of jb, then that's the way i'd probably go. thanks for the replies

if you're referring to the fix i linked in the op referencing the stuck at loading issue where the fix is to install xposed, that was the only way i even got past the loading screen initially which brought me to the issue I described. if there is another fix he provided for the issue, i'd be interested in seeing the link if you could provide.
I switched to shostock3 using 4.1.2 and everything is working perfectly fine, so I guess all the issues, officially confirmed as problems or not, are 4.2.1 related. I'd still be curious to see if any further fixes exist as I definitely liked the supernexus rom and would love to use it if I can get everything working.

I'm having similar issues:
- SwiftKey works fine
- Google+ Hangout during a call video rendering is all glitchy, often freezes and crashes.
- Skype calls work fine
- Chrome freezes and crashes often
- Gmail Reply All either adds me to CC (if not updated to the latest version) or removes one address from the list (if updated). Saw other threads on this issue but couldn't fix it.
- Automatic timezone switches to GMT
Feels like most of the google apps aren't working for me, but rather than that the rom is cool would definitely want to fix the issues.

[Q] Swiftkey + Whatsapp super LAG!

Hello!
Hope this has not been answered before... Anyways my GS3 i9300 has a serious problem when typing a whatsapp message. In all of the other apps the keyboard is fast and responsive as it always has been but since a couple months it started to have very severe lags while typing within Whatsapp. If i want the keyboard to process correctly the word i have to slow down my typing which is becoming very annoying and the problem is somehow getting worse. I am running CyanogenMod 10.1. I have tryied to re install both applications and maybe for a couple days after reinstalling things get a little better; but no real and continuous improvement. I kill always all my background running apps and i clear my RAM every day... Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for any kind of help!!

Just a quick note to point out that I'm having the same exact issue, in the same environment (cyanogen 10.1, swiftkey, whatsapp). As you stated in every other app swiftkey works just fine.. It's just with whatsapp.. No one else guys? What can we do?

Having the exact same problem here, even Overclocking doesn't increase responsiveness. Any solution by now?
