Or am I the only one facing this on my 1020

[Pete]

Impossible to say at this point.

[KhawarNadeem]

No, you are not. It's a well-known bug in WinRT... Will probably mostly go away by W10 hopefully. I know that doesn't sound very optimistic but last I heard MS said they were working on converging the issues WinRT had compared to Silverlight which was smooth as butter. Just wait it out, and hopefully it will be fixed with coming OS updates.

I was beginning to think that "Resuming..." was a feature.

[xandros9]

10 is a giant change, so maybe, maybe not. We cant tell yet.

[EspHack]

they better do, I don't think they have the balls to present w10 on stage showing a loading screen every few seconds

[Asskickulater]

they better do

Marvelous use of grammar and spelling!

-commence slowclap-

anyway, this resuming stuff never effects my 1520 minus xbox music, which is just because its a very poorly made app in general

You're not. My 1020 has tanked with the developer preview and 8.1.

W10 better fix it.

You ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, the reason you get those screens is because your phone is a bit on the slow end?

I have a 1520 on 8.1 DP and experience this behavior frequently. MSN News seems to be the worst offender.

No, because it was fantastic on 8.0. The minute I switched to 8.1 it completely bogged down. So bad that when I scroll on my Start Screen, the tiles will all be blank and take a couple seconds to load up. I've tried removing a bunch of tiles, removing folders, all kinds of things. Even did a reset.



It seems to be hit or miss with some people, so I think there is some bug that only happens with a certain set of factors. Either way it's embarrassing and uncharacteristic of Windows Phone.

Sounds like a cheap Android!

I love walking into an AT&T, Best Buy, or Microsoft Store to play around with the new Windows Phones. Every 830 I've tried - no matter the city, the state, nor the store - when I hit the Windows Key to exit the running demo?

Resuming...

Hard to imagine that's what you want your "best foot forward" to look like.

[KhawarNadeem]

.... I beg your pardon? Apps, like camera and music, take longer to load on my 925 than they did on my old Galaxy Nexus (which is a 2011 phone, by the way), and there is a *huge* difference in performance of the chipsets both phones. And Windows Phone is supposed to be inherently faster AND smoother than Android.

Lol @ this android brainwashing of "fast" hardware. You do realize you don't actually need something as powerful as the Snapdragon 800 to run something as small as a mobile OS? You are really, seriously, undermining the performance of these ARM chips.

Fact is, MS botched the runtime and I hope they fix it soon. A 720 on WP8 felt faster than a 1020 on WP8.1.

Belfiore already Said its related to optimization issues mostly

Optimization for what? Apps or the OS?

Who gives two ****s about all these excuses. I don't care 1% what the reason is. Fact is we have these resuming screens. And other OS's don't. Period. End of story.

[Rolandh]

I've only had it happen on my L925 after I un-installed Live Lockscreen, but now it's working flawlessly.

Well you are on 8.1 DP

Which windows phone are you using?

[Asskickulater]

just tested my 925, it has no resuming screens on it at all, minus the music app

[Maritox Cacici]

Lack of Optimization of the apps to 8.1 mostly!

[Bagzton]

Even the Start Screen resumes! This is one of the annoying problems I'm facing with my 920.

You say it's lack of optimization? How long have we had 8.1 that till this moment, the apps or OS is yet to be optimized? I may not know how these things work, but optimization for the Screen also?

Well, W10 is around the corner, albeit preview form (though I don't think I'll install it on my 920 immediately) we can only wait and then see how far.

Where did you hear that (besides here)?

[Mike Gibson]

Is everyone seeing this on WP81? If so, my guess is that it's due to most of the apps now being "fast resume" (and maybe a bug in the OS), which means they take up memory even in the background (i.e. suspended). Once memory is full, WP81 starts kicking suspended apps out as new apps are loaded. In that case, the "resuming" screen is really a "restarting app" screen.

Compare the time it takes to start a fresh instance of an app to the "resuming" time. If they're similar, that's probably what's happening. I don't know why these crappy phone OSes don't have a virtual memory system so that they can swap to disk (which is basically an SSD) when necessary. Maybe the crappy ARM CPUs don't have VM support?
