Motorola Xoom :: Degrading Performance With Handwriting Applications?
Nov 18, 2011
I can't remember where I saw the comment, but another Xoom user mentioned that his handwriting application(s) seemed to degrade in performance the longer he used them (per reboot, I believe). Until today, I thought I was imagining it, but the same thing seems to be happening to me. I was taking notes with Writepad and about one-half hour into the meeting I experienced significant lag between strokes of the stylus and appearance on the screen, and I needed to revert to the keyboard. It's happened with other handwriting applications as well.
concerning the poor battery performance of the Xoom after the 3.1 update. Unfortunately the search function of this forum is totally rubbish, resetting the capacity readout by deleting some kind of init file...
im dealing with poor battery performance of the Xoom after the 3.1 update. Unfortunately the search function of this forum is totally rubbish, so i am not able to find the answer where someone explains how to solve this by resetting the capacity readout by deleting some kind of init file.
Is there now or ever going to be an update for the Xoom FE? I still have Android 3.1. Never had an update and have nearly had this thing a year. It lags in several areas and can't run many applications without crashing.
I'm used to working in a Windows based environment so I might not be using the proper terminology here. When I'm done working with an application on my XOOM it appears that the app is minimized but not closed. How can I do that?
I'm having an issue that has been plaguing me for quite some time now. It's seemed to get worse over time as well. The issue is when I click on something which would normally launch another application or window, the screen slightly dims and nothing happens. I tap the screen again and the brightness returns as if the window that was open is closed now. This IS NOT a screen brightness issue.for instance, I go into the "Videos" app and tap on a video shot from the xoom. The screen slightly darkens and then nothing happens. No video shows. Not even the player. Another example is in Gmail. I can click on a link to a website and the screen darkens and nothing happens. Tapping on the screen brings the original brightness back. Yet another example is from the gallery, I tap on the video I want to watch and it opens up the player. I tap play and the screen darkens up and nothing happens.I've tried a "hard" reset using volume up and power simultaneously to no avail. I have also deleted/removed all of my apps I have installed in the last month to month and a half
I was looking for opinions from the GSM users on the latest GB version. Is it better/worse/different than previous versions?
I briefly used the .606 version in the UK last week. My impressions:
1) I got more bars than I saw under Froyo. These were very unreliable under Froyo, it was perfectly possible to make calls with 1 or zero bars, so this might have been fixed.
2) I saw the new data icons, H, 3G, E and G. For my eyes, the new icons with the background were harder to see, I had to look closer to see if that was an H or a G!
3) Battery was used more quickly than under CDMA. I don't think this was GB change as I had seen it before, and I wasn't sure if it really due to the difference in protocol or merely because I am in a strong CDMA area here and a weaker GSM one in the UK.
I've probably done 1000 miles of riding with this thing on and it still thinks cowboy junkies would somehow improve my performance . I've never listenned to half the stuff in the playlist and a bunch of it is really slow paced...
so when the soak of 2.3.4 was out it seemed to me like a mostly 'under the hood' fix, and addressed a few bugs.After having lived with it for a while, some of the shine is wearing off.While they made some progress having the phone be a worthwhile mp3 player, now the camera app has suffered.The camera is really slow.It took me 9 tries this afternoon to get a shot with flash.The camera is so slow that the flash would pop before the shot was taken!
I've had my Electrify for two days now and have noticed less that stellar wifi performance, compared to the 3 other smartphones that I have had previously. I noticed that the Photon has recently (last week) had an update to help wifi performance. When will this update be available for the Electrify?
After switching to a custom rom from Stock my battery count haven't been the same, not talking about drain here. The Battery percentage indicator is degrading 2% at each time instead of 1% in normal situations. What should be done to bring back the correct battery calculations?
It doens't matter what browser I use but for the last couple of weeks the pie chart of my music does not load on the website and all I get is a blank area on the screen where it should be, as in the screen grab below
My Bionic has been wonderful since I got it in September. Starting (I think) yesterday, it is very slow.As an example, after I enter my 4 digit code, it sits for a second or two before I shows me the home screen.I also noticed that when I come back in, it's always on the main screen. It used to be one the screen that was showing when I turned it off.I was thinking it is probably some app update I got, but the homescreen thing makes me think not.Short of a master reset, does anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening, or how to trace it?
One of the reasons I wound up returning my D2 G during the trial period was iffy Bluetooth performance. I could not get phone to download the address book to my car's (BMW 328i) on board system, it constantly broke the connect, and generally did not work well. The situation seems to be night and day with the D3. Whatever Motorola has changed, is definitely for the better. It syncs ot my system instantly, offers a strong and crystal clear connection, and has been very stable overall.
I used to get pretty good life out of my stock bionic battery. I updated the OTA update early today and since then the battery level has been going down at almost 10% every 30 - 40 mins. Following is the list in my battery usage queue. This is after I did a system reset and left my phone without any new apps (except for facebook).
Display 30% Android System 17% com.motorola.contacts 12% Android OS 9% com.motorola.home 8% ....
I am planning to charge it to 100% and then see how it behaves. Will keep this thread posted with stats from my phone.
So, I had horrible battery performance after the update. I figured I would do a cache wipe. Normally this erased battery history, but not this time. The gap is during the wipe. Notice the average slope before and after
I wish they could push an update that doesn't require this crap, but its never happened.
The Nokia tech spec sheet clearly states that there is full screen handwriting recognition on the E7-00. How can this be turned on and used? I am used to an old N97 where this could be done easily with fingers, fobs etc ... no standard implement I try appears to be detected by the E7. Is there a special stylus required to input handwriting on the E7-00? If so as nothing listed under E7-00 accessories.
Just had my Torch 9810 and realized that the older OS in Asian does have Chinese handwriting input method. My carrier is Bell?Have RIM able to provide this same software to Canadian User?
I bought an X6 during mid May, fully expecting to be able to use the "fullscreen handwriting for Chinese" function to write chinese. However, after weeks of researching, there seems to be no such function! What's even worst, Nokia (AU) totally removed this description from their X6 specifications 2 week after I bought this phone! I did, however, save a bookmark of the older specs just to serve as evidence that they did mention the X6 had chinese input capabilities. Help! is there anyway that I can get around this and allow my phone to type chinese??? Did nokia make a big mistake and try to cover this up by deleting the specs on their website? I've emailed them but they have yet to reply. I feel ripped off and that my phone did not serve its intended product purpose.
So I had music on my xoom but accidently deleted it. I tried going in my computer files to copy and paste songs from my itunes into my folder on xoom called music but says wrong format. I don't know what to do.
I bought the device few days ago and on very same day updated to Android ver. 3.2. I use internet over my home Wifi and have a Netgear - WGR614 router. The browsing speed is very very slow and most sites dont open.The signal strength shown in xoom is - (-105 dBm 3 asu).Is this a issue with Android 3.2 update or my home wifi is weak? Would i be able to reset the tab to the original version?
1) Where can I get the Adobe Reader for free? Or is the only one from the Ovi store?
2) I created an extra WLAN...profile for my phone (so I have MyNetwork and MyNetwork(01) in my connection manager), how do I delete extra connections?
3) Can I set it up so I don't have to use the phone lock on the side? I still want to put in a pin, I just hate using that switch...I don't understand why I can't just tap the screen.
4) How do I use handwriting for website password boxes?
