Samsung 2.3.6

Post by countryroads »

Hi Pasha,

I am doing a study on my Samsung 2.3.6 Android.
My Samsung has less memory than my other androids.

All the versions from beginning thru October 29th (1.11/12) have worked on my Samsung.
These prior versions did not freeze or lock up my Samsung.

1.13 thru 1.16 have caused my Samsung to completely freeze or lock up.
When it freezes, you cannot exit or even turn off the android.
You have to wait for the message "Sorry .... YoWindow not responding .... Force Close".
Once I tap Force Close, I have the android back and I can clear my Cache.
Most of the time, I can tap YoWindow and it will now run properly.
But sometimes tapping on it will freeze the Samsung again.

So to keep from freezing my Samsung, I keep uninstalling the latest version and
I re-install the October 29th version.

All versions of YoWindow have 4 default locations and search for my actual location.
So I wind up with Mansfield and the 4 defaults.
This has been working since the beginning.

October 29th had the old version of Parallax.
Since then, the new versions are using the new version of Parallax.
The new version is supposed to use less CPU.

October 29th Location List did not have the Pencil for changing a Town Name.
Since then, the new versions have the Pencil for changing a Town Name.
On my Samsung, the Pencil's block is twice the size of the block for the "X".

If my study is correct, either the Pencil or the new Parallax is freezing my Samsung.
I hope this information helps you.

Thank you, Marty!
The likely cause is either Parallax or bitmap loading technique we started to use in the latest builds.

We will certainly need to make sure YoWindow can run stable on your Samsung device.
Now I have so much work to do. I think I will have time for this investigation in a couple of weeks.
Please wait.

What is the model of your Samsung device?

Marty, do you know if ART is enabled on your Samsung?

Sorry, but it looks like Marty has Gingerbread which is a fairly old Android OS right now. The ART Runtime would not even be on the device. The ART Runtime is only for those that have 4.4 (Kitkat) and are developers.
