After minimizing it takes up to 5 seconds for home screen to load

Galaxy S3, Android 4.3: After minimizing, it takes up to 5 seconds for the home screen to load. The screen is empty, without icons or widgets (not black - just completely empty). Seems to be Firefox specific: Chrome and other applications are not affected by this. Highly annoying. Can this be fixed?

I have an HTC Gingerbread device, and it has a problem with several different programs that if you use the Back button to exit Firefox and some other apps to the home screen, it crashes (white screen with HTC logo) and needs several seconds to rebuild. In my case, this seems to start at some point in a session, and then continues until I restart the device.
So I don't think this is necessarily specific to your build of Android or the Samsung shell. I'm not sure what causes it. Since you have a popular device, you might check a forum like the following to see whether anyone has more insight there:

  • Why does it take two or three minutes for my screens to load?

    Starting a couple of weeks ago when I click on a new link it can take two or three minutes to load the page. It will eventually load the page but the lag is ridiculous. I also noticed that as soon as I close the page that isn't opening I do see that page for a second or two before it reverts back to the original page, and when I click on the same link again, it takes me there immediately.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • HT4623 I upgraded my iPad 2 and now it keeps locking up.  It takes 45 seconds to to unlock the device.  When I try to reply to an email it takes 10 to 12 seconds for each letter to appear.

    I have recently upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS7.  I am not happy because it is locking up.  It takes almost 45 seconds to enter my four digit code.  When I type an email it takes 10 to 12 seconds for the letters to appear. 

    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Why does it take. So much longer for YouTube videos to load on my iPad 1st gen. then on my iPod touch?

    Why does it take so much longer for YouTube videos to load on my 1st gen. iPad then on my iPod touch or my laptop?

    This is not the place to make a point. This is a user to user support forum. I do not need instructions about the use and care or alleged failure of cables. At no time did I ever say or imply that you were an idiot, that is your statement and words, not mine. Take the time to Google and you will find instances where there have been injuries and death dealing with 3rd party cables and chargers. The abilities that Apple has for manufacturing and what business decisions they make in creating their products is nothing more than speculation, and that is not allowed under the terms of the forum that you agreed on when you joined here. If you want to rant at Apple, then use the feedback link, www.apple.com/feedback. Other users cannot do anything for you.

  • After updating it takes an extremely long time for firefox to open

    I recently updated firefox, within the last two weeks. Now when I click on the firefox icon to open there is about a 45 second time frame before firefox opens.

    Do you mean to load the application, or reload the email list?
    If so you may want to clean your inbox and or debate on which to use IMAP or POP.

  • Why when I chose to play a song, which I have paid for via iTunes, does it take 30 to 90 seconds for me to start hearing playback?

    It's really annoying and it's been happening at any time with any type of song. So, if anyone can provide an explanation or a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Peter,
    This typically happens if you have more than one PXI system in your subnet and you have asked LabVIEW to ping everyone of them. To rectify it, please do the following;
    1.Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer
    2. Go to My System >> Software >> NI-VISA
    3. Once you select NI-VISA go to VISA Options Tab and in 'Remote'make sure that you have selected only the PXI system in which you are running the code.
    If you had selected more than one PXI system then LabVIEW waits for all the systems ro respond hence taking extra time. The sitaution becomes even worse if the systems are not online which means, LabVIEw has to wait till the timeout perios vefore going to the next system.

  • What Do I do When it Takes More Than 10 Minutes for my GMail to Load in Mail? Help!

    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks on my MacBook Pro I have been having terrible problems with my Mail. Sometimes it hangs, not loading anything - Inbox, Trash, etc are all empty. Sometimes I have to check my Gmail on their webpage because the messages take so long to reach Mail.
    Right now it is almost 10 minutes and STILL no new mail in my Inbox although I have checked several times. I know I have some mail because I checked on my Gmail webpage.
    What should I do? Should I Trash my Gmail account on Mail and start all over again? How do I save my messages and folders of messages?
    This is a drag.
    Not only am I having trouble with Mail since I got Mavericks, I can't use Safari anymore because it is too sluggish and either freezes or crashes constantly. What a bunch of junk.
    Sorry, I'm kind of cranky about this.

    Try deleting the cache.db associated with Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try Gmail.
    There is a Mavericks / Gmail update available >  OS X: About Mail Update for Mavericks
    You can avoid accessing your Gmail account via browser.
    Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Informatin then click ➕ to add your Gmail account. That way you don't need to Safari to access your Gmail account.

  • Why Does It Take So Long For iTunes Library To Load When I Launch iTunes?

    iTunes used to get up and running fast, but now it takes about 20-30 seconds for the Library to load before I can use it. Does anyone know why?
    Thanks!

    have the same problem since upgrading to i tunes 7 and can only guess it's the size of my library - nearly 200gb. A friend of mine who's library is 20 gb or so has no such problems. If there's another reason and we can do something about it I too would love to know!

  • Apps take longer than 15 seconds to get deleted

    I got my iPhone 4s last September amd since then I've updated the firmware twice hoping that would solve the problem but it didn't so please tell me what else i can do:
    When i hold an app to delete it, it does start to wriggle immediatly but when i press the delete button it takes more than 15 seconds for the are you sure message to pop up. I don't normally delete apps so i keep forgetting that that bug is there but when i do delete apps its when i urgently need space to take a video or something so its really frustrating when it takes me over ten minutes to just delete a couple of apps and yes it doesn't happen for just one delete it happens for each delete. Ever since i upgraded to 5.1.1 the freeze time decreased a bit to 15-30 seconds it used to be longer but i could really use a permenant fix for this. I searched around a bit and didn't see that anyone else had complained of this problem so i dont know what to try and i really need someone to tell me how to fix it. Thanks!

    It is also possible the the disk space is low. How much space do you have left on your phone?

  • Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

    Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn't work.
    You need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • USB enumeration takes up to 20 seconds after wakeup or bios boot on P67A-GD65

    Hi all,
    Just bought my new rig. It is described in my signature. Unfortunately I found two issues with my current setup. The first issue is in a separate post.
    I'm using a P67A-GD65 motherboard. My USB keyboard and mouse are immediately detected the first time I start up my computer (cold boot), but when I do a suspend (to S3) and resume it usually takes quite a while before the mouse and keyboard are enumerated again. I can see this as the mouse and keyboard light up when they are ready for use. It sometimes takes up to 20 seconds, but the delay differs everytime. Occacionally the mouse and keyboard are immediately lighting up after I press the resume button, which is the behaviour you expect. On my previous pc I never had issues with enumeration after a resume.
    When I restart the PC, the bios usually gets stuck in Post code B4 (USB HOTPLUG) for quite a while as well. It is probably trying to enumerate the mouse and keyboard. This can also take up to 10 seconds. During a cold boot this does not happen and B4 is completed instantly.
    This issue is quite annoying, as I have to wait for quite a while before I can use my keyboard and mouse after I wakeup the PC. It beats the principle of instant-on, and sometimes it is faster to cold-boot the thing.
    I tried both V1.7, V1.8 and V1.9B1 bioses.
    When I disconnect one of the devices (only mouse, or only keyboard), the enumeration is usually quicker, but still takes up to 5 seconds.
    Could this be a bug in the Sandybridge chipset (it is not stepping B3), or is it something in the BIOS? Are any others having this issue and found a solution?

    I've red through the P67 errata about USB and all of them have the status "No Plan to Fix". As being quite familiar with the USB 2.0 specification (I've once written an USB driver for an embedded system myself) I do not see any issues mentioned that could be related to enumeration problems during cold boot or resume. This seriously doubts me that the B3 release will fix my issue.
    I will also put this problem in MSI support, but knowing how they did reply in my other issue report about the mouse not working in my BIOS I'm not so sure if they will take it seriously....

  • After installing update takes much longer to go to sleep

    After I installed the latest security update (2005-08) I noticed that my powerbook takes much longer now to go to sleep. In fact it can now take somewhere around 30 seconds to finally show me the blinking eye (or whatever that is called). Before the update, it went to sleep in just a few seconds, it never took that long. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?
    This is a powerbook G4 with 10.4.2.

    Ok, please forget about this post. It's amazing what a reboot can do
