IPad is slow in processing Thai characters

Hi
I'm Thai and I use my iPad a lot for reading and writing. The iPad slowness has been an issue for me for so long. At first, I thought it was some apps that heavily use resources of my iPad, so I tried closing all inactive apps or restarting which doesn't help. The problem occurs only occasionally, so I decided to be patient and live with it. However, lately I found that this slowness seems to related with processing or displaying a lot of Thai characters.
The first app that the behavior is obvious is iBooks. It takes a good amount of time (minutes) to load a Thai book with about 200 pages, and many seconds just to flip a page. I have another English book that longer than thousand pages and it opens almost instantly without waiting for flipping through pages.
Safari is the other app that shows the same behavior. It takes a lot of patience to read a page with a lot of Thai characters. It freezes and unresponsive when I scroll down the page or click the link so many times. I even used to think that my iPad really freezes, but it will come back if I just wait long enough. Never had this happened on English pages.
The last app that I found this occurs noticeably and I just tested it intentionally today is DayOne, a journal app. My journal writing (in Thai) became painful that I needed to switch to use my macbook instead because of typing lag. I used to blame the bluetooth keyboard and the app itself. Today I copied a pretty long English article into my journal entry and then continued to write after it. The lag was minimal and didn't affect my writing, so I switched to Thai. After only 5-6 lines, the typing lag came back to the point that I can't continue. I tried deleting only the Thai part and the problem solved!
This is very strange to me and please correct me if you think I reach a wrong conclusion, but this is what I've observed. If I remember correctly this issue has been occurring after upgrading to iOS 7, and it is an iPhone issue as well. It's just not obvious because I don't read and write this much on iPhone. If anybody have seen this and know the solution or have any suggestions please let me know. Thank you in advance.

The only things you can do on an iOS device are to restart apps as suggested by Lance or reset the device:

  • IPads extremely slow after ios8 upgrade

    Hello,
    I own an iPad 2 and an iPad3 retina. Both were working fine until I upgraded them to ios8.
    Since then, both ipads have slowed down to a crawl. Surfing the web is *much* slower, the ipad seems to hang when you simply load a webpage. Also, the keyboard has become so slow that it lags behind the typing. I will be typing a sentence, and when I stop typing, the ipad could still have 10 characters in the keyboard buffer.
    So up until last week, I had a couple of ipads that were a little bit older, but still working at an acceptable speed. Today, I have two ipads that are frustratingly slow to operate.
    So the obvious thing to do would have been to downgrade back to ios7. But unfortunately, this doesn't work either. I get a message that ios7 is not compatible with my device.
    So can somebody offer a solution, either a trick to downgrade to ios7, or another method to get my ipads back to their former performance.
    BTW: same problem on my iphone 5, much slower as well, but here the speed is still acceptable.

    iPad 2 and iOS 8.0.2 Problems
    For all iPad 2 owners, this is an important solution for you! These problems result from long-term use, continuous upgrades, corrupted files and various glitches that happen over this long term use. You just need to get your iPad 2 back to FACTORY FRESH CONDITION to start out clean!
    Here's one person's solution which will help a lot of iPad 2 users!

    Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
    SOLVED:  IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
    I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
    Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
    THE FIX:  FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device.  Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
    To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now!  :-)
    Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

  • Updating Thai characters for CMIR at header nad Item Level In LSMW

    Hi Experts,
    We are in the process of Upadting Thai characters for CMIR in VA22 transaction Using LSMW.
    In that We have used BAPI_CUSTOMERQUOTATION_CHANGE to Update the Thai Characters.
    The text which i am updating gets updated in va22 when the length of line is upto 132 characters but when it is more than that it gets truncated as the structure BAPISDTEXT  in which it is getting Updated has text_line field with 132 char.
    How can we Update if the text line is more than 132 characters say 150 for e.g.
    we have tried changing with TDFORMAT  * for default first line and / for next line so that remaining text comes in the next line but it's not wrkng fine,it's taking only first line.
    How do we Go about it?

  • Does ios 7 make the ipad 2 slower?

    Does ios 7 make the ipad 2 slower?

    Bought my wife a used,  but practically like new 64 GB iPad 2 and iOS 7 seems to run fine with no issues other than the wallpaper resizing issues mentioned in other iOS 7 posts.
    I think iOS 7 runs even better on an iPad 2 because no extra processing power is being used for a retina display because iPad 2 doesn't have a retina display.
    I noticed this as my iPad 3 on iOS 7 runs well, but seems a little laggy compared to my wife's iPad 2.

  • Thai characters not displaying correctly within App

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Adobe Flex Mobile app displays Thai text, however this is not displaying correctly. While developing the App on my Windows machine and testing using the Adobe Flash Builder mobile emulator, the font/characters look correct.
    However when running the app on either the MAC Adobe Flash Builder emulator, the iPhone simulator or on an actual iPhone, the font/characters are incorrect.
    First I thought that it was maybe an encoding issue (I am using locale properties files to replace text), so followed instructions at this website Flash Builder, Flex language bundles showing strange symbols. Not utf8 encoded.Sefol however this did not solve the issue.
    Looking more closely at the text rendered, it looks as though all of the characters for each word are actually being rendered, but they are just being rendered in correctly. Where as if it was a encoding issue then it would be missing characters completely.
    So if you look at the first character, in the correct version it is built up of 3 components. If you look at the second image, you can see that these three components are present but just not all appearing within one character.
    Is this a font issue? or is it actually an encoding/rendering issue?
    My code for testing this is just a simple label tag
    <s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" />
    Many thanks.

    Ok so after doing a bit more of an investigation into the Font being the issue and not the encoding type, it seems as though if I use a specific font which I know has the Thai characters, then they are displayed correctly.
    I have embedded the font into the App using the code:
    [Embed(source="../assets/Kinnari.ttf", mimeType="application/x-font", embedAsCFF="true", fontFamily="ThaiFont")]
      private var ThaiFont:Class;
    Then on my UI I have added the font:
    <s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" fontFamily="ThaiFont" />
    I was able to find this font at a Hawaiian Educational website! Thai fonts :: Thai Language Program, University of Hawai'i, Manoa
    Thanks @tooMuchTrouble for your help.

  • Problems displaying Thai characters in FTE components on Mac

    I had originally posted a question here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4027591, but was told that this is more of a flash runtime issue.
    I am running into issues displaying Thai characters in Flex components that make use of the Flash Text Engine (FTE), specifically on Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
    Here's a blurb of my compiler font managers in flex-config.xml:
    <flex-config>
            <target-player>10.2.0</target-player>
            <!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->
            <swf-version>11</swf-version>
            <compiler>
              <!-- Specifies the locales for internationalization. -->
              <locale>
                  <locale-element>en_US</locale-element>
              </locale>
              <fonts>
                  <!-- ... -->
                  <!-- Compiler font manager classes, in policy resolution order-->
                  <managers>
                      <manager-class>flash.fonts.JREFontManager</manager-class>
                      <manager-class>flash.fonts.BatikFontManager</manager-class>
                      <manager-class>flash.fonts.AFEFontManager</manager-class>
                      <manager-class>flash.fonts.CFFFontManager</manager-class>
                  </managers>
                    <!-- ... -->
                </fonts>
            </compiler>
        </flex-config>
    ...and another from flash-unicode-table.xml:
    <language-range>
        <lang>Thai</lang>
        <range>U+0E01-0E5B</range>
    </language-range>
    My flex application originally had the following defined in its stylesheet:
        Application {
            fontSize: 12px;
            fontFamily: Arial;
            font-sharpness:0;
            font-anti-alias-type:advanced;
    Thai characters render correctly in mx components such as TextField so far.  However, FTE components such as TextLine show those crappy-looking boxes as a substitution.  My initial guess was that somehow one of the compiler font managers declared in flex-config.xml was not finding the right system font to fallback to for Thai characters.  So, I ensured the system font was installed by going to System Preferences > Language and Text > Edit List.  Then I changed fontFamily to Arial, Ayuthaya.  Still was seeing the boxes of evil.
    Next I figured that perhaps the Arial font might be assigning a box for each unicode value corresponding to a Thai character.  So it was effectively overriding the Ayuthaya system font.  So I changed fontFamily once more to just Ayuthaya and this worked with one issue - Ayuthaya looks inherently different from Arial for non-thai characters.
    Here's my question - is there a less invasive way to support Thai in FTE components such that the appearance of the text is closer to the Arial font?  I would rather not embed a font because I'm constrained on SWF size.
    Oh and I'm using flash player 10.3 right now.

    OK, I asked the FTE team and got this reply: "Lucida Grande is CTS's fallback font for Thai.  This font on OS 10.7 and 10.6 are not supporting Thai anymore.  The version on 10.5 was supporting it." This means that it's our bug that we keep using Lucida Grande as fallback font even Apple dropped support Thai script with that font after 10.6. Unfortunately this bug was deferred from current development release (11.2) because of time constraint. If this support is critical for your business, can you open a bug in our public bugbase and ask as many vote as possible? In this way I may be able to convince internal team to fix this bug in next release.
    Thank you for your feedback!

  • Export to pdf for thai characters get blank result.

    Dear expert,
    I have a problem, when export Sales Order that contain thai characters to PDF in SAP B1 2007A SP01 PL08, the page converted to pdf successfully for english characters, but not for Thai character. Thai characters did not display anything, just blank.
    I did refer to note 339832 , and i guess this note is for R3 system, and I think for B1 also should use the same method when export to pdf.
    So, anyone have any idea to enable Thai characters to export to pdf in SAP Business One?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Reagrds
    Mat

    Dear Carin,
    Actually the purpose I want to export to pdf is because to attach wiith email that send direct from SAP.
    My scenario here is:
    - Open one Sales Order
    - then click on Email icon to send email with attachment (I want to attach the SO). But, when I check the pdf before send the SO as attachment, i find out that the Thai characters missing/blank (as JimM said it is limitation in SAP for pdf function currently).
    - the email sent successfully, but only the SO attachment is not correct because of Thai characters missing.
    As per your suggestion, yes I can print as pdf first, then manually attach to email, but this involve too many manual steps just to send one SO via email.
    Any way, thanks to all of you for reply.
    JimM, thanks for the info and I will try to proceed to SAP development team for future use.
    Regards
    Mat

  • Thai characters to PDF using smart forms

    Hi All,
    I have created a smartform which displays order details. The address contains thai characters. While viewing the preview, the characters are displayed correctly.
    The OTF form of this print is converted into PDF using the function module CONVERT_OTF and sent as mail attachment.
    The issue is in the PDF attachment, thai characters are converted to junk characters. Can anyone suggest how to overcome this?
    FYI, for displaying thai characters, chinese font THANGSAN is used.
    Thanks & regards,
    Juli.

    Hi,
    There is no command like this. If you use device type PDFUC or SWINCF to create the  spool before converting via RSTXPDFT4, then the PDF conversion will be unicode. See SAP note #999712. But you still need to upload true type fonts to support the Thai characters, this time via report RSTXPDF2UC as per note 999712 and the attached guide. The Adobe fonts don't support Thai so it is needed to embed Angsana new true type font into the PDF file to support Thai characters.
