My BIGGEST issue with WP8.1 - The "laggy" notification centre animation

[himmatsj]

Pulling down the top of the screen to bring up the notification centre has an animation that seems laggy. Actually, there is no lag, but the way the animation is currently, that's what it looks like. I compared it to Android and iPhone and it just doesn't look smooth with the 3-step animation.

Do you feel the same? Should the pull-down be a single animation?

Same feeling..but I think it's a Lag problem...because sometimes (like now) is smooth as silk

 

[Xpider_MX]

No issues here.

i have no lags. Lumia 620

 

[himmatsj]

No issues with the animations as well? Nothing jarring? Like I said, it is not actually lag, and you probably have to really have a keen eye to observe it.

The 3-step animation is there for a purpose -> http://forums.windowscentral.com/wi...elopers/278072-action-center-handy-trick.html

Yes, I have experienced this, it's when there is more than a certain threshold of notifications. It's not part of the 2 stages of the notification centre either, it only stops/lags when there is more than the threshold there. You won't get this stutter/lag till then.

I've sent a few diagnostics reports using their diagnostics application, so hopefully when it is released to the general public they may have addressed some of these things.

Notification Center have no lag at all here. Very smooth.

L925. Same for L820 and L720.

I don't notice any lags on my 520. However, I do find the "sweet spot" for dragging down is too small. Wish they could implement a mechanical way of doing it. Like, two quick taps (up or down) on the volume rocker.

Anyway, as I said, no issues here on my lowly 520.

It's smooth till there is a certain threshold of Notifications. It could be an application issue, Skype seems to cause this the most.

Nope I haven't see a lag on my 810

 

[Djole77]

there is a small lag when there are many notifications. Because of the smotthness of the OS this is annoying. MS should fix it

Not here, dude. I can guarantee.

I see the issue when pulling down on the notification shade. It is like it's a little jerky from time to time

May I ask have you allowed notifications to fill up? What applications do you have issuing notifications to the notification centre?

This isn't something that happens with just a few notifications. So try letting it fill up, and then get back to me. If you still don't experience, that's good, I'm only verifying that the OP's problem isn't something only he is suffering from, that's all.

To clarify "fill up" isn't just 5-6, it's more than that.

it's specially made that way...if you want, it's a 2-way step , to have access to settings,also viewing battery percentage, date,and 'toggles' without dragging it all the way down...if you don't want that...try swiping fast from up to down and if it lags...i'll order you 20 pizza's...but only if you tell me your adress...aaaaaa.....and pin card number...just joking(just at the end of the post...not with the 'problem') :winktongue:

 

[Bearach]

Where did I say that was my biggest problem? And no it's not this two step, I've said it before. If it were it wouldn't be smooth till a certain number was met. So your theory is incorrect.

My theory is that at the point of the two-step - which I knew about on day one - is where WP8.1 loads the current notifications to show on the notification centre. Once this exceeds an optimized amount of notifications this lag/stutter occurs.

NOTE: I'm not the OP

Facebook, Hotmail, Market, Data Sense, Phone, Whatsapp and Wi-Fi. I already have a bunch of notifications (more than 20 i think) and still that, no lag at all.

I don't seem to have any kind of noticeable lag on my 920. I am enjoying the upgrade.
