AM lags in reloading/redrawing the screen.

(1/3) > >>

mkgtu:
Has as anyone else noticed recently that AM is very slow to recover from any action. For examples:

Open a message, read it, then use back button to return to message list - I get a blank black screen and can count to five before the message list shows up again.

Swipe to delete a message and again for a count of five, I get a blank square where the message used to be before the message list finally shuffles itself to close the gap. Same for multi-select and bulk delete. Lots of blank squares for a count of five.

Open message, just glance at it quickly, don't scroll through it, use back button to return to message list, still get a blank screen, but for maybe a count of only 2-3.

Open app, blank screen for maybe a count of three.

VERY LAGGY. Anyone have any idea what's going on or how to fix it.

NO OTHER APP, absolutely no other app on my phone acts like this. They're all quite snappy.

Same here, also loading images from the address book takes long or don't even load.

Same here with the images. Some don't show up. But on top of that it takes a lot longer to load all those new icons/avatars from senders. Looks nice and fancy but may be counter-productive if they're slowing the whole process.

Seems to me the lag in everything else showed up about the same time as those new icons. Is there a way to turn them off, or choose the old simpler style?

I disabled this new icon feature. But even with this function disabled loading is slow and laggy. Emails, address book icons, etc

I turned of all the sender images in settings and that seems to have no effect on the lag, so I turned them back on. They do look classy.

But I tried this. I opened and scrolled through a message that has been previously opened and marked as read. When I close the message using the back button I still get a blank screen, but only for a count of 1 or 2.

I then marked that message as UNread, opened it again, scrolled through it, and closed it using the back button. This time I once again got a blank screen for a count of 5-6 before the message list reappeared.

There is obviously something slowing down the process of registering changes, like marking a message as read, etc. The "engine" is not running on all cylinders or is not using all the processing power a available to it in the system.

And not that it's related to the fancy sender images, but the lag did show up about the same time as that change.

Reminds me of the old dial-up days of the World Wide Wait.
