[Android General] troy2062:
Perhaps I am part of a very small minority in this regard but has anybody else noticed how poorly implemented scrolling is in the Google Play Music and Play Store applications? Here is a short video highlighting the problem.

[YOUTUBE]zDnTNmHDaPQ[/YOUTUBE]

What's happening here in both applications is that images are being loaded into RAM as they move into view, unloaded when they move out of view and then reloaded when they move back into view. This might seem insignificant but it impacts the user experience in two very negative ways.

The first is that while you are scrolling through the list of album artwork in Play Music or applications in the Play Store, you will encounter numerous little stutters as new images come into view and are loaded. Given that almost every other facet of Android 5.0 is running at a consistent 60 FPS, this is very jarring and unpleasant.

The second impact which this produces is that (especially in Play Music), you are forced to stop and wait for the album artwork to catch up with you while scrolling. This is highly inconvenient as one of the main purposes which album artwork serves is to allow you to quickly identify an album at a glance. It should not be necessary to crawl through the grid listing in order to easily distinguish one album from another.

Now with all of that said, I do understand why Google chose this particular scrolling implementation. The idea was to improve performance on lower end devices with less RAM and slower SoCs. On a low-end device with very little RAM and a slow SoC, caching a large number of images simultaneously would be quite taxing. This would have been a reasonable compromise to make three years ago but at this point you would be hard pressed to find a low-end device with less than 1GB of RAM and almost every flagship Android device currently ships with 3GB. In this case, Google's attempt to improve performance has actually had the opposite effect.

The HTC Music application on my HTC One M7 last year (which had 2GB of RAM) cached all of the album art immediately upon launching, which resulted in a perfectly smooth experience. There is nothing preventing Google from doing this. If necessary, they could even design these applications to check the amount of RAM available and change their behaviour accordingly.

For comparison, here is another short video demonstrating what a good scrolling implementation looks like.

[YOUTUBE]IFjhO5R6SRM[/YOUTUBE]

In this recording, I scroll through about 250 cached images, occupying only about 6MB of RAM.

The points where it appears to get stuck are simply due to the poor touchscreen driver in this build of Lollipop and can be ignored.

Another issue with Play Music which has been bothering me is the size of the album list grid. Only being able to fit four albums onscreen at once is incredibly silly and there is no way to change it. What was Google thinking when they completely removed the standard list view?

Anywhoozles, I congratulate you on your perseverance for making it through this mini-essay. :highfive:
[LG G Flex] maluminse:
There are similar threads for other phones.

However since I could do this on my recently traded in gsIII Im making a specific one for LG Flex.

Sprint, rooted.

When I make a call my net is killed. I cant surf for information while on a call.

Is there a work around? Hack? App?

Help much appreciated.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
What carrier are you on. I'm on t-mobile and have no issues doing this. My son streams Xbox live through my hot spot while I'm on phone calls.
[LG G Flex] maluminse:
Im on Sprint but I dont think its carrier based. Sprint gsIII there was no problem. Could use phone and stream.

Its only been since I started using my LG Flex.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Id like to see AT&T and Verizon flex owners chime in. But like I said I have no issue with internet conn. While on the phone. "OK google" even responds when I'm on the phone. Found that out by accident. Lmao
[LG G Flex] dongdong6968:
D950 (AT&T) Here, and everything works just fine for me.
[LG G Flex] Nybs31:
I'm telling you for a fact that it is sprint and not the flex. I am on Sprint and cannot use data and talk on the phone at the same time. The reason is this: the flex only has 1 radio, where as the gs3 had 2 radios (1 for data and 1 for voice). The reason that t-mobile and att users can use data while on the phone is because they have voice over lte working and sprint does not.
[LG G Flex] SayWhat10:
Actually I believe it's because sprint has 3 radios. If you have the new phones that support Sprint Spark then you can't talk and surf (unless on wifi only). Lg g flex is one of those phones. Gs3 is not
[LG G Flex] maluminse:
That makes sense that its phone based on not carrier based.

One radio means its in use for call therefore no surfing. (Unless wifi - a separate radio).

The gs3 had two radios so one would work for the call and one would work to surf.

Bottom line - sucks. Sometimes you need to find stuff while youre on the phone.

'Hang up, ill call you back after i search...'

90's tech.
[LG G Flex] Eun-Hjzjined:
Got a Rogers d950g, and AFAIK Rogers doesn't use VoLTE, and surfing while on call is working just fine.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee.n:
Hi Guys

This probably a newbie question, hope somebody will be able to enlighten me on this.

Once, I installed TWRP on my Note3, can I still flash official note 3 rom (from sammobile) using ODIN? or it must be restored/flash using TWRP?

Also, once I restored/flash the note3 stock/ official rom - firmware, do I lost twrp and have to install it again ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milly7:
Yes. You can still flash the official firmware using Odin. And yes, you will loose twrp and have to install it again. And you posted in the Note 4 forum.

[Hardware Hacking General] mloftus11:
I would like to create a Gigabyte network of sorts and have no idea if it would work. I have a windows y7 computer with no Gigabyte Motherboard and my Router is a Modem/Router from my Cable company.

Is it theoretically possible to buy a NAS setup like WD Cloud and a Powerline Network Adapters with Gigabyte capabilities and get Gigabyte speeds with files on my NAS?

Would I need anything else besides the PLA and the NAS?

TIA
[Hardware Hacking General] jakelikescake123:
I believe you mean gigabit network. If your NAS can read at 125Mbps and your Desktop HD can write 125Mbps, the theoretically, yes you can. If you have the gigabit switch or router, and a gigabit card in both systems, then you should be good to go.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Registerforwhat:
Hey guys just fot this tablet Monday, unrooted fresh out the box, it will download apps for a bit them get hung up and stop downloading and eventually show this error. Ive googled it and tried all the tricks that include clearing data im gp app/gp services/ framework. Unlinked my google account, rebooted etc.

2 strange things i noticed.

- my htc m8 on the same nerwork has never had these issues

-I haven't had this happen at my work network

I returned my tab S from Monday, now the new one does it too. I have a brand new Asus RT-AC68U beast of a wifi router. It briefly downloaded some apps once i took down the firewall, then errored out again...

I dunno what else to do i want to keep this tablet I hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joneszy:
perhaps this workaround can help you:

on your pc you can install the chrome browser extension APK Downloader , then when you go to play store, you have an extra button download apk next to the app (all on pc in chrome browser) , once you downloaded the apk you can copy it to the tablet and install it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redenfredaesh:
Make sure that once you have copied the apk to your device you have enabled "unknown sources" in the settings or else it won't allow you to manually install an apk.

Whenever I have encountered an issue like this in the past I have Odin flashed the device to the latest stock firmware and then during the set up process, made sure that every minute detail entered is correct (or bypass google account installation and wifi connection and install them after the device start up).
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Registerforwhat:
Hmm thanks for the suggestions guys. Come to find out my m8 has this issue now so it must be router related somehow...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JunaidShahid:

[AT&T LG G3] LoneFlac:
Not true, on my D850 I needed to reflash the KK modem in order to retain a steady connection to AT&T's network.
[AT&T LG G3] s89281b:
this may no longer be true now that lollipop modem is out. but when thread was originally started it was not necessary as we only had modems for kk and flashing a cm12 rom from kk did not change modem. so your are right that if you are now running lollipop with the lollipop modem and want to flash back to kk you will need to flash kk modem.
