My most OCD complaint ever

Amino Man said:
Weird. I tried restoring as new and nothing changed for me.

Try opening camera, don't taken any photos, then open photos.app. Then go back to the home screen and press photos again. That's when I would see the lag. Also when opening voice memos more than once.

I don't have a lag opening the camera the app opens instantly for me, but it takes longer for the shutter to open, and obviously takes longer to take a picture if you have HDR on.

One thing I have found with the camera if you press the home button while on the camera pre 4.1 the animation always lagged going back to the home screen but now it's smooth. For me anyway.

The more important question, does Apple products make people OCD or do OCD people tend to gravitate to Apple products? I'm a member of 75 or more forums but this is the most OCD place I've ever seen,

Its the forums/members not the products

these people think they HAVE TO HAVE an absolutely perfect product because they think apple products make them feel special/better than those around them

Honestly your not this OCD about your television set/toaster, I don't understand why people are so ********** picky about their iPhones, its just a freaking phone

So? This is just a random semi-serious thread about said phone! I'm impressed that you simultaneously get pissed and say don't overreact, haha.

To amino and anyone else interested, I restored as a new phone and it's still doing it. Seems to be an issue inherent in 4.1. Doesn't bother me so much if it's something to do with the OS normally and not something specifically wrong with my phone!

Yup. It's a 4.1 thing. It bugs me because there shouldn't have been anything in 4.1 significant enough to change the performance like that. I don't understand how they could've screwed it up with such a simple update. It's too bad because although we don't HAVE to update, we will eventually because apps will start requiring 4.1 to function and if you want bug fixes (like Bluetooth)

I'm disappointed in this update. By the way, you'll notice that a lot of people will tell you that their iPhone is fine and they don't see a problem, or they'll see it but it doesn't bother them, or they'll attack you saying that it's "just a phone". I think most of us can agree that it is not "just" a phone. If I wanted just a phone, I would buy a cheap phone with just a number pad to dial.
 
I downloaded an app called Activity Monitor and it shows the CPU usage.

When I had 4.0.2 and ran the app, the CPU activity on a fresh boot was so little that it hardly showed up in the graph.

Now, I've upgraded to 4.1 and re-ran the app (after a fresh boot). The CPU usage is higher now. Not only does the line show up in the graph but it spikes every few seconds into the 10% range. 4.0.2 never did this.

Still waiting to hear back from Apple about this bug.

Maybe you would be happy since in the poll thread and here you sound unhappy with your ah... Phone. I understand some posters get far more mileage out of focusing, complaining about "defects" than just accepting the issue or moving on. For the rest of us it's an entertaining read for awhile.

Yeah. It's far too much to ask for my iPhone to run like it did when I bought it a month ago. It's not like I'm asking for a 3 year old device to run the latest software without a hiccup. The iPhone 4 is brand new and current.

I updated because 4.1 claimed to FIX Bluetooth bugs (which it did not for me for some reason) and I didn't think the OS was going to get worse after the update.

I realize that you don't care, but it's far too early in the iPhone 4 cycle to be slowing it down already.
 
I made some new discoveries about this odd behavior. Read below:

First of all, let me just say that all of my apps are closed and are not in the multitasking bar.

1. I start up camera.app (nice and smooth animation) and do nothing.
2. I close camera.app (just going back to the homescreen). This is also very smooth.
3. I open photos.app (nice and smooth animation)
4. Then I go back to the home screen and open photos again. This time it's not smooth. It's jumping to the foreground and the flying icon animation is missing.
5. Each time I open photos.app after it starts doing this, is the same as #4.

Here's another odd discovery:

Again... I've quit all apps. Nothing is in the multitasking bar.

1. Start up camera.app (nice and smooth animation).
2. Do not take a photo and tap the photo browser button in the lower left corner.
3. When the photo browser pops up, hit the home button and return to the home screen.
4. Open photos.app. (nice and smooth animation).
5. Go back to homescreen and open Photos again. (Smooth animation again!)
6. Photos.app will continue to open smoothly every time now.
7. Open camera.app again (not smooth. It features the same animation skip as #4 in the first test above.)

Once either Camera.app and Photos.app starts stuttering like that, I can make it stop by completely quitting photos.app AND camera.app (I have to quit both).

I think there may be something wrong with the HDR feature built into camera on iOS 4.1. I'm really hoping Apple can bring back the smoothness of 4.0.2 in a future update.

Thank you for your time.
 
can we at least get an OCD sticky thread moderators ?

seriously no one gives a flying F about weird OCD tendencies, well besides other people with this kind of disorder
