Scrolling lag - iPhone 5 - Try it yourself - Page 3

Adutrumque · Dec 22, 2012, 02:58 PM

Should I contact a genius and get a replaced unit?

It's the swiping diagonally part that irritates me.

I did a complete restore still the same .

I'm going to install geekbench 2.0 and see if its hardware failure.

I think this dude is trolling us. Nobody would really get this worked up over a flaw that would never come up in normal circumstances.

I can assure you I'm not trolling.

I got a replacement due to rattling noise and now I'm worried about this unit that I got because it came alone in a box , pointing my suspicions towards that the phone I got is a repaired phone ( maybe dropped I'm the ground before but that they fixed the "look".) I don't know.

If you have Parkinson's and need to scroll the page like that to read then yes get it replaced.

Another non-defect, by the way.

EVERY replacement you're going to get from this point forward is going to be "alone in a box." That's how Apple does replacements. Been that way since at least the iPhone 3G.

And even if they just "fixed the look" of a dropped phone, then chances are the screen was cracked meaning they had to replaced the screen, which has the digitizer built into it. So the screen and touch interface would be a totally new component.

So, am I still doing it wrong?

You should go faster that way your hands lose weight.

lelisa13p · Dec 22, 2012, 08:49 PM

Sheesh.

Don't the nit-pickers have anything better to do than try to be the discoverer of some unique and useless perceived device flaw?

It's the holidays. Go out and DO something.

OP,

You sir are a piece of work. One hell of a piece of work.

Mine stops responding every 3-5 seconds when doing that in Safari. The odd thing is Fruit Ninja (about the only app I could see where you would want to do that) doesn't have that problem at all.

OP, you're being obscenely OCD. Put the phone down and walk away for a while.

No lag at all doing anything. Fastest phone I've ever used. 6.1

Beta testing for developers.

Ah cool. Maybe they fixed it in 6.1 then.

Just 5 more pages and this will become the most useless thread ever!

This isn't lag. If you haven't read about this problem, do so here http://www.macrumors.com/2012/11/09/...agonal-swipes/

You get it by swiping diagonally across the screen back and forth. The back and forth part is important.

Sure it won't affect you often, but it's still a flaw.

zefff · Jan 16, 2013, 08:42 PM

Mine has started to freeze for a second or two only when swiping between home screens. It will sometimes freeze during the transition of swiping from right to left, so that I can see a row of icons from the previous screen until it "unfreezes" a second or two later, then vice versa getting back to my main home screen. Haven't tried to do anything about yet, as it's not a big deal, but if it happens more frequently, I'll have to try something.

Bahroo · Jan 16, 2013, 08:53 PM

No problems here, i heard in iOS 6.1 its going to make the iphone 5 even faster and fix some inconsistencies found in iOS

chumawumba · Jan 16, 2013, 09:04 PM

yes

Illest · Jan 16, 2013, 09:57 PM

This happens to ALL iphone 5's , trust me.

First, why would this ever affect anyone in real use?

Second, I don't just trust anecdotal evidence when the overwhelming response from users is that they don't experience it.

ValerieDurden · Jan 16, 2013, 11:18 PM

Nice and fast for me, no lag.

I love it how you guys havent even read through my responses in this thread. You read the threadstart.

I can assure you, 100% that you will get the freeze when scrolling fast sides to sides or up and down.

Nope. Tried it when I first about the problem and tried it just now. Up and down and diagonally. No point in side to side because I'm never going to do that......ever. The only time it stutters is when my finger accidentally moves past the screen and I accidentally bring down the notifications bar. I'm on 6.0.2 with an iPhone 5.
