unresponsive user interface (various lags and jerks)
asked 2014-12-07 03:22:31 +0200
There are multiple places in the main UI where things are just not smooth.
- when you move from the homescreen (multitasking view) to the lockscreen (clock, date, network), there is a very noticeable “jerk” or discontinuity after a fraction of second... FPS display shows a huge spike ; the problem doesn't happen when going back to homescreen
- when app covers are rearranged on the homescreen (due to tapping on an app that's not in the top-left corner), the animation gets stuck for a short while in the middle
- peeking from an app at the homescreen, or from notifications to the homescreen: the crossover animation is interrupted in the middle
These are probably software issues, where the rendering thread becomes blocked. I have tried using an interactive CPU frequency governor (as per @Manatus) and the performance GPU powerscaling governor: this does not make any difference.
This is all with update 9, but it is not related to memory pressure (all of this happens with no or very few light apps open, depending on the scenario).
UPDATE: No change with update 10. Are others seeing the issues described above? Should I try a factory reset?
What device are you using?

It probably just masks the original problem, though.@proyb2 the jolla phone, why? @Manatus I can try, but I suspect this won't fix the problem -- it doesn't feel like a CPU/GPU bottleneck, more like the code doing something that blocks the drawing thread for (noticeable) moment

Especially when I have the virtual keyboard open and I'm typing text, then I don't get any response for the phones for several seconds and then the text I typed appears at once. Very annoying...
