UI fault or touch glitch (multiple bugs and no app to report) - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Lot of times i have faced the issue of touch not happen at some points and also sometimes the buttons even dont show up.
1. when i open amazon.in in my chrome...after turning the night mode on...whenever i scrollup the window...the screen of phone flickers...i tried to take screenshot bt they were clear...
At some time...i felt that the screen will fuseoff...it was so bad experience...and no bug report found at all for future improvements.
2. Major flaw...when i played games...all worked fantastic bt somehow the phone does not understand the coding of the game(hitman absolution)
Whenever i try to switch the weapon in armoury, the arrow to switch between weapons appears for about half second and vanishes...at the end i am unable to switch the weapons...stuck at default weapon...
A huge dissatisfaction that u have every specs to play around and i dont know wt is stopping me from enjoying the things.
Lot of websites dont load properly like on other mobiles...
3. I am huge fan of hayday game...but when i start playing...after 5-10 minutes....the game shuts of accidently and homescreen appears...and the thing happens everytime ...even after multiple reboots and full battery.
Not even the app not responding box shows...just everything shuts...very bad experience....and dont know the solutions of such things...
The slow motion feature in the camera records at 120fps...quite fast for slomo and 960 fps which makes video look laggy...ther must be some solution to record 540fps also.
And the customization..crap..there is no theme engine...if u wanna change something...in dreams or in other rom.
There is not even the default gallary application by lenovo...no android M logo shows up on multiple tap in settings about model/base, just sick of the things....better switch the rom.

Random Weird Issues?!?

Hi All,
Using official htc sea wm 6.5
1
=================
Anyone encountered this so called memory leak before??
Try this:
Lock screen by going Start (honeycomb) then lock
I noticed if i lock the screen memory uses up ALOT whole faster... within half a day it hits to 78% used... When incoming calls, screen does not show, but phone vibrates, i press the answer and phone picks up ok... other functions like sms and emails works ok, but alot slower too.
2
==============
I'm also using a mp3 ringtone though.. not such if this caused it, i have actually shorten and compressed the file already, was 7mb, drop to 3mb to 1.8mb now to 1mb...
I noticed when calls comes in, the screen does not lag that much (earlier issue does not happen in this assumption)...
3
==============
Camera application if activated in my pocket (Mis-press, i current assume so..) for unknown amount of time, i notice it and close it.. applications fail to launch properly...
Bottom menus (the phone(left), camera(right) on home screen etc) all dont work anymore.. it jus does not display out properly..
Top menus (close button etc) also does not display properly.. say i press start button (top right on home screen), the top menus bar changes to light blue, but honeycomb on main windows does not come out. No close button on top right either, but i can still close it (looks like not rendered properly of sorts)
TouchFlo3d works still though... i can rotate around phone, contact etc etc
4
==============
Memory uses up alot faster... after i soft reset the phone.. memory hovers at 50%, within an hour will go up to 61% odd.. but stabilizes... phone can be used ok..
5
==============
There are occasional random crashing of god knows what.. sometimes during sms i notice theres a popup of errors in some service of sorts... notice happens during sending sms mostly...
6
==============
Screen auto changes between landscape and portrait mode, sometimes it auto recovers, else, i need to slide out keyboard for awhile, wait for it to stablise, then close keyboard. Not sure if this is the result of taking out from the lather pouch??
Anyone noticed or encountered all these before?? HELP!! ; ;
Program installed:
==============
Google Maps (Update)
Batti
Carmin Mobile XT
Windows Live (Update)
NoPushInternet
MarketPlace
Youtube (Update)
WorldMate Live Installer
WorldMate Live
SKTools
MySoftReset
All programs have been there more or less for a few months already... The programs indicated with (update) means i updated further from default.
Is this a software thingy probably that a hard reset could solve it, or this is more like a thingy that needs to go into service center??
1. That sounds normal. I was using the official HTC WinMo 6.5 ROM a while back and I remembered that the RAM usage stabilized at around 75%. This is regardless whether you use the lockscreen or not.
2. Don't know what you mean...
3. Sounds like a one-off thing. Can you replicate the problem consistently?
4. This is normal. Goes for all WinMo devices.
5. Sounds like an issue with your carrier's network.
6. My best guess is that the magnet on the pouch is affecting the screen rotation.

Are u using any mp3 ringtone? Does it have any issues if we use a big mp3 as ringtone??
Noticed if i use a big file, when calls/sms comes in, phone will "lag" and vibrate with no display of incoming call...if you press call(pickup) button, it ok ok..

I use a 1MB mp3 file. Works fine for me. But I can see that it makes sense for there to be a lag if a large file was used. Lesson here is: try to use small sound files for performance!

[Q] What kind of lag/issues, if any, have you been experiencing?

As this is my first Windows Phone and I wasn't really sure what to expect when it came to fluidity, I was pleased with how smooth everything is. However I've begun noticing a decent (read: annoying) bit of lag when I open up the messaging app and begin typing. The letters take a second to appear and autocorrect is slow if it comes up at all. The lag only last maybe 3-5 seconds but annoying none the less. I've also had some rather bad experience with laggy apps, with Skype being the worst culprit. I read good things about the recent refresh, but it's pretty much unusable for me. I've also been having issues with losing LTE and having it drop down to "4G". A simple toggle of airplane mode fixes it, but it's gone from happening rarely to happening once or twice a day now. When I do have LTE though, I have 4-5 bars constantly.
Anywho, bit of a wall of text but I just wanted to see if anyone else is having similar issues and if it's worth going to AT&T and seeing if they'll replace the phone for me as I'm still within my 30 day return window.
EDIT- Just remembered 2 more issues. Had it reboot on my when adjusting the volume and there's a weird clicking noise that happens when I swipe from the first picture in the camera roll. The phone is on silent, and it only happens going from the first to second picture. Little odd but not a big deal.

The only problem i have seen is:
When i switch off my phone and turn it on sometimes it freezes and i have to turn it of an on 2 or 3 times in order to get it working. this has been happening recently i dono whthere it is to do with some apps or firmware issue.
sometimes the touch screen also give hiccups specially on facebook app.
No other problem. coming from samsung galaxy s 2, i only miss the ability to change my homescreen every week with a different launcher and layout. The apps that i miss are Tweetdeck, 100% working Pulse, Youtube and Facebook App.
My Lumia 900 playing Angry birds is so much faster and smoother compared to SGS2.
Overall i am happy with the looks and performance of my phone.
I get that messaging problem as well sometimes where the keyboard lags and the typing noise doesn't keep pace with my inputs.
Mildly annoying and it's not constant so no big deal for me.
Sometimes, multitasking stops working and I have to do a quick power-off.
Actually, all issues are resolved with a quick reboot as opposed to a reset with my Lumia 900 which is something I can't say about my HD7.
I agree with above. The only lag I get is the occasional facebook load time lag. Some apps take longer to load than others, it's perfectly reasonable. As for overall lag, I had one experience yesterday where everything just slowed to a standstill. It was the first time I had to restart the phone, but after that, I've seen no problems. I can imagine it was a corrupt app as I had been downloading quite a bit of them that day. Coming from android for 2 years, the experience here is much much smoother. My advice, as i learned from the past 2 years, is to retrace your steps and find out when exactly it started to lag. When you find the beginning see if you downloaded any poorly rated or laggy third party app, or if you changed a seeting on your phone. If it continues to lag for no reason, you might just have a bad device. Best of luck.
Minor
I just upgraded from a Samsung Focus. My very first reaction was that the screen was slightly less responsive than the Focus, which was buttery smooth and instantaneous. It felt slightly, but noticeably less responsive. After using it for a day, I don't notice it anymore. I am sure it is there, but my memory of the Focus is not as near. As far as true lag goes, I have not experienced any after 2 weeks use, and no reboots or freezes.

I'm glad you are enjoying it but I came from the original focus myself and had the exact opposite reaction. That it was much faster and smoother than my old focus... I still have it and my kids play the old games on it so I can compare regularly and still feel the same.
Does anybody have lag when they are pinching and zooming on heavy desktops websites? i am getting a lot of lag here where my htc titan did not get that lag.
The only issue I seem to be having is when playing any kind of music or watching videos. If I touch any of the capacitive buttons, it's as if I long press them. Not a huge deal since I usually only touch the back arrow anyway, but that's all I get.
i was wondering if anyone else had this problem. My lumia has consistently not displayed maps in nokia maps or the maps app. It will show my location on a blank black or patterned screen (depending on the app). It's not a wifi or data issue because it's happened on both. It's happened five times in 3 days. Each time i've had to shut the phone off and restart it and it works again. Is this just a problem with mine? Thanks.e

it is a problem with your device, so do you have web browser lag or is that problem only with my device.

Lollipop 5.1 Bugs

Hello all,
I am using the Micromax A1 like most of you. I was super excited after Lollipop finally came for the device after such a loong and frustrating wait. While the device functions quite well, there are some bugs I have come across. The reason I am starting this thread is that we can all report our bugs under one thread rather than making a thread for every single one. Just briefly explain your bug to help others understand
Here is the list of the bugs I came across:
1. Camera has become very slow
I have been timing my camera after I came across some irregularities in the stock camera app since the update. Even if you pre-focused the camera, it takes almost 2.5 second for the photo to be taken after the shutter has been clicked. Its quite frustrating most of the times. I tired third party apps like A Better Camera but no use! Also I have noticed that my camera makes a small noise while trying to focus and then click. A small clicking sound inside the camera hardware module.
2. Infinite Back Loop
I have come across this bug sporadically. If chrome browser is open and some other app is open (In my case, many times it is Go SMS Pro), it keeps on rotating back and forth between the two apps instead of going to the home screen. To come out, you have to swipe them off from recents or press home button.
3. SIM Card Selection
This is another one frustrating bug. In this, if you have selected "Ask every time" for selecting SIM before calling, every time after you click a contact, the SIM selection screen vanishes before making the selection. And if by chance there is a true caller overlay then you are done for sure. This happens many times in case of contacts with multiples numbers.
4. Storage Issue
One of the worst bugs in my opinion. I mean What is up with this!! I had about 450 MB free space in internal storage and after update, it all went into a chaos. I had to uninstall soo many app so make Lollipop work smoothly. And further worse part is, now a days, even if I have 230 MB odd internal space, its does not install even small apps with the error "Insufficient storage space on the device". Such a nightmare!
So yes, That all for now from my side. Please do contribute from your side. Also do share solutions if you have found for such bugs and help your fellow Android One users.
Cheers
One more I want to point out that the dialer app animation lags a little but If I turn the power saver mode on, the same animation works perfectly

Strange edge lighting behaviour

So I have a really strange thing going on with edge lighting which is driving me crazy.
Whenever I play Elder Scrolls Blades the edge lighting appears but only in the bottom of the screen. As far as I been able to tell this only happens in this app though I can't be 100% sure.
Now what is strange other than it happens only in the bottom of the screen is that it keeps happening every few seconds, there is no notifications received and it happens, if I disable edge lighting it still happens, no matter to what effect I set the lighting it always happens in stock blue.
I can't possibly figure out what is this and I tried everything, any ideas would be appreciated.
Same thing here, in at least 2 games...
Thought it was related to spen, but it seems not...
Tried to disable Game Launcher but still got these random bottom screen notification pulse... And stock blue aswell. Got no clue atm
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I tried literally everything and nothing seems to fix it. What's also weird is that the lighting comes in irregular intervals, sometimes just going crazy and sometimes appearing much less.
I have just discovered this issue appears in all games so it's a bigger problem then I originally thought. If disabling the game launcher does nothing then it makes it even more strange and annoying.
Yeah, same here, happens on basically all the games.
Maybe related to game booster?
Let's try to compare our setup : are you using any notification enhancement app? (like aodNotify)
Are you using your spen while playing?
But yeah, this random glow line **** is driving me crazy too!
Currently I am using aodNotify though I tried uninstalling it and the problem persists, I also have goodlock installed and the edgeslighting+, same thing with and without it. I am not using the spen, but I have tried just taking it out while the game is running and leaving it out for 5 mins, no change. I have disabled and enabled the stock edge lighting as well and the problem is still there. Nothing seems to effect it. Its ridiculous
i tried on mobile legend adventure, no problem on it, perhaps a scaling issue?
Will try to tweak full screen mode.
Increasing dpi doesn't change the weird thing, neither switching from Samsung stock launcher to Nova...
Also I'm using gestures based navbar, but I also tried with or without tips display, standard navbar... Still occurring.
Did you go from a scratch Note 10+ or used SideSync to switch? (I was coming from a Note 8)
I don't think it has anything to do with scaling, I tried setting the game on full screen and automatic, both giving the same results.
I used Smartswitch from Note 9.
Later today the camera effect from aodnotify started appearing in the game aswell (landscape mode), along with the edge lighting.?
I uninstalled aodnotify afterwards, found out there is a aodnotify Manager plugin which stays after uninstalling the main app.
Uninstalled the plugin aswell, opened edgescreen from the system app and cleared cache.
It was showing the app was using RAM with high frequency.
I don't have the time to check now does this fix the problem but will let you know once I do.
The only other thing left to do if this doesn't work is to clear edge screen data.
Will try this aswell, and restore all the notifications and edge lightning settings...
What I wrote above didn't work so I disabled the option for edge screen to show on top of other apps, so far this seems to fix the problem.
Unfortunately I was wrong and nothing above fixes the problem. I also wiped the entire edge screen memory, no effect. This is the weirdest thing I ever encountered in my years of Samsung phones and it's extremely annoying that there is no fix.
Strange, I don't have any issue.
Did you try with and without locking the screen orientation to see if edge lightning follows settings as it should?
I personally only use auto orientation.
I also use auto rotation and it happens the same way in landscape and portrait, the most annoying thing is that it happens really much, like 2-3 times in 10 seconds, or sometimes doesn't happen for few minutes then starts going like crazy, and as I said before there is no notifications or anything.
Same here, auto rotate on, only occurring during games.
I don't even know if I can debug which process is running these random edge notifications, without dig into tons of log files...
And if not, I guess I'll try to factory reset and re-sync again..
Its incredible that a factory reset seems like only possible solution left but I hope maybe some future update will fix it since I hate doing factory reset. Please keep me posted if you discover anything new.
Hating doing it aswell but this is too damn annoying..
If no clue, I'll go for a restore without restoring system settings... Maybe some notifications behaviors have been messed up
I'll keep you in touch for sure
Tried to wipe cache partition, still no clues...
Did this also got triggered in portrait mode game?
So confusing...
Yes it happens in all games no matter of the screen orientation. I really have no more ideas aswell
Got some news, another post is talking about this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/strange-blue-bar-games-t3963939
Seems related to the new game booster feature "temp and cpu monitoring"
Will try to disable this for a specific game and see...

Question Any thoughts on MIUI 14 on global?

Personally I hate it. I noticed two bugs that absolutely shattered my experience as of today. One is that you cant pull the status bar with your mouse if it is all the way to the top of the screen, it has to be one pixel below or something otherwise nothing happens. The other is that the mouse cursor gets extremely laggy in multiple situations (I dont know what causes it), frequently when changing apps, any sort of loading and other situarions.
I reported these issues but if they dont get fixed I'll install an older firmware.
Here's an example:
Disappointing. Expected more from the update
really Meh. Ive noticed some bugs tho like when i have youtube in PIP mode the recents screen can be viewed but no apps can be switched from there until i exit YT. im also a bit annoyed i can no longer press hold on the recents-screen on app icons to quickly uninstall, or what I usually do to get to the app settings. but it goes there by pressing the app icon on the recent-screen, no big deal. other than that, cant really tell much of a difference at all tbh. its not bad , not great. Just "meh".
For me, its beyond BAD!!!! Before already had many issues like crash app (pc mode crash like once every hour) . Drawing apps can display proper color palletes once Dark Mode turn on. This had been since forever.
The worst I had, and really makes me want to make public petition so these manufacturers be more responsible towards theirs cust, is the Smart Pen. While its cost USD 100 , and they make closed SW so u can't used any ( i mean NONE) 3rd party stylus, but after the updates the pen cant connect to BT at all and keep prompt Charge your sylus now!!!! Wtf!!! And none over the Net any solutions available and as usual their forum real HOPELESS!!!!
My stylus pen doesn't even show up on bluetooth. It's like it doesn't exist. I've tried two pens and both don't recognize.
