Hideous app refresh issue

i just submitted this to iPhone Feedback, but i thought i'd post it here too in case i just couldn't find a solution, if there is one...
PLEASE fix/change this problem/feature...
pretty much EVERY app (yes, even the Apple ones) will refresh when you leave the app & come back to it.
i can understand this if you were to "quit" the app - but if you leave it open in the background, it should NOT refresh when you come back to it.
it's highly annoying & down right angering when you're trying to do research on... anything... & have to bounce back'n'forth between apps, only to have to start all over with your query/search/load/scroll/form/etc upon each return!!!
i can be in the App Store searching for apps, find a possible one but tap to go to their website for further investigation; then when i go back to the App Store from Safari, the **** thing resets & looses the search & my place!!!
i beg u change this please!!!
using an iPhone 6+ & have stayed up-to-date with the iOS version updates (currently on 8.3)

Hi,
Sometimes, it related to drivers, please update all your driver including video card and so on.

App.refresh bug in CS5???

Hi,
I have this sample script:
#target photoshop
app.bringToFront();
var dlg = new Window('dialog', 'test');
w = dlg.add('button', undefined, 'cm1',{name:'ok'});
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
w.onClick = run;
dlg.show();
function run()
   docRef.activeLayer.mixChannels ([[100,20,-50,00],[30,70,90,00],[-10,-30,-90,00]], false);
   app.refresh();
Photoshop CS5 closes the script if I press the button a few times quickly. If I wait a few seconds between button presses it works fine, which makes me thing that Photoshop can not queue the commands. With Photoshop CS3 however, everything is working perfectly, I can press the button as quickly as I like and CS3 just executes it one by one.
Any way to work around this issue???
Thanks.

I will take a look at the mac crasher but it is a problem on windws and a problem in CS4 as far as I can tell. I would recommend you disable your button so the user can only press it once. Here is a modified script to show more of what is going on. On windows I am getting the script to stop for no apparent reason (the actual reason is a stack overflow). On mac my suspssion is that the stack overflow is crashing us instead of erroring out semi correctly! You can try all combinations of the two flags at the top to see the behavior differences. And you can really see how long waitForRefresh is taking so use it wisely!

When Messages.app refreshes conversations, messages appear out of chronological order.

I'm also using an iPhone 5, all of my software is up to date. Conversations on the iPhone are in correct order. Most of the conversations are using my phone number, but some are using my email address. The issue appears with both. Is there an easy way to troubleshoot or solve?

Hi,
I admit you title reads
When Messages.app refreshes conversations, messages appear out of chronological order.
However the actual post reads.
Conversations on the iPhone are in correct order. Most of the conversations are using my phone number, but some are using my email address. The issue appears with both.
So I got the impression it was the actual Conversation (Left hand List) that was un-ordered or at least out of order.
Form your Picture I see you did mean Messages.
As I said in my reply most people reports that Quitting Messages and restarting the app does seem to sort this.
Is this what you mean by "refreshes" or do you man something else such as looking at a conversation again or making the App the "front" app ?

No apps in Background App Refresh

Hi everybody,
I am using iphone 5s and ios 8.1
My apps (endomondo and gipis) stopped working correctly because they needed to be turn on in the Background App Refresh but there are no such apps there.
I cannot use my apps =(
Could you help with this issue?
Thank in advance.
Pavel

I have this issue as well for every running app I've tried (i.e. Endomondo, MapMyRun, RunKeeper) since the iOS 8 update. I've filed support tickets for both Endomondo and MapMyRun after @AppleSupport told me to contact the app developers directly. As of ~10 days ago, both support teams told me they're aware of the issue and working toward resolution. Nothing since then.

Apps didnt appear in Background App Refresh

Hi all,
I'm using Iphone 5, after updated to ios 8 and later, my apps (nike running & endomondo) didnt appear in the Background App Refresh list. So that i cannot use Nike Running & Endomondo since the apps keep asking me to enable them in Background App Refresh.
Is anyone having same issue here? Need solution on this or is it because of ios 8?
Thanks

Background app refresh disabled

Hello all,
I love running, and therefore I've used Nike+ running for many years now. Currently I use an iPhone 5s, with iOs 8.1 When starting the app, the message "Background App Refresh Disabled, Open settings and enable Background App Refresh so that we can track your runs in the background". However, when I look this up in settings there is no Nike+ in that list to activate.So, At this moment, I'm no longer able to use this app.
What's wrong? How come that my girlfriend (iPhone 5C, iOs 8.1) doesn't have this problem?
I've tried:
- Reinstalling the app
- Downloading the app on my phone with my girlfriends Apple ID
Anyone out there with a possible solution?
Bye

Thought I'd reply to this seen as no one else has, I am also experiencing very similar problems with my 4s and by the looks of it is it's across all handsets. I've never had any battery issues with my iPhone even 7.0.6 was fine, but since updating to 7.1 the battery is ticking down very fast. I fully charged in the morning and left it in my locker all day at work when I got my hands on it it's gone down to 52% just on its own!!
I really hope they sort this out fast the irony is 7.1 was supposed to help battery life!

IOS 8.0.2 Background App Refresh

I received an iPhone 6 Plus replacement from Apple and restored it from a backup (via iTunes). Everything worked as it should be, but after two days of using the new iPhone I recognised that automatic app updates as well as Background App Refresh are not working anymore.
E.g.:
Apps won't receive automatic updates (Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Updates > on)
Overcast: new episodes no longer get automatically downloaded to my device (Settings > General > Background App Refresh > on)
What I did so far:
I already deleted and reinstalled affected apps (like Overcast)
I changed the settings > turned off and on (background updates etc.); restarted the phone...
Is this a known iOS 8.0.2 issue or do I really have to restore my iPhone again (what I definitely don't want to do)?
Any help is very much appreciated!

The things that I have tried:
- Remove exchange account, restart phone, create new exchange account, restart again, open app. Nothing.
- Created a Gmail account instead of an exchange account (which didn't work previously, due to me not seeing the shared calendar), didn't work.

Background app refresh doesn't work at all

im on ios 8.1.2 with an iPhone 6 plus. My problem is that any app I have running in the background (best buy, groupon, Safari, etc) all re-load whenever I switch apps. i have background app refresh turned on so that everything stays active. It's really frustrating to be browsing a store website/app, switch to another app like my messages or mail, then switch back to the app/safari and it reloads as if I just opened the app. It NeVER remembers what I'm doing. I only keep a couple things open in the background too. ive tried turning the background app refresh on and off but nothing works. Basically, I can't multitask whatsoever with my iPhone and it's ******* me off. Anyone have this issue?

Hi
I just checked - I was intrigued by your post because I have background app refresh off - and my safari etc maintain the website / pages where I am at if I switch. So I was wondering if indeed Background App Refresh has anything to do with your issue - sorry I know I am not helping to solve it - but wondered if there was something else going on.

Cannot turn on background app refresh

Hi all,
I need to turn on background app refresh, however I cannot.
I had turn it all off for sometime, but I keep on missing out whatsapp messages, that is hurting my work.
I want to turn it back on to activate whatsapp.
To my surprise, I found that I cannot turn it back on. It simply refuses to turn on no matter how many times I pressed it.
Any advice?
Thanks thanks,
Gemshin

Hi gemshin,
If you are having issues with your iPhone being unable to turn on background app refresh, you should take a look at this article -
iOS: Understanding multitasking
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211
In particular see this section -
If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
Check for app updates.
Force the app to close.
Restart your device.
Update your iOS device.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Need help understanding Background App Refresh

I'm trying to understand how Background App Refresh works. Whether it is on or off, whenever I switch to another app it will reload the page/app. Games start back at the home screen, webpages reload, all my typing (notes etc) disappear, it's as if I'm opening the page/app for the first time over and over. I don't keep more than a few things open at once, so I'm not a multitask hog. I assumed that with the Background App Refresh on it would keep the things open and current. Is it a RAM issue? Why do things keep reloading? Even if it's only Safari with one tab and I'm typing an email, when I go back to Safari the page reloads and I need to find what I was looking at again...
Anyone else experience this? iPhone 6 Plus with the latest iOS.

This is the key phrase from that page: "Some apps can continue to run in the background. You can allow these apps to refresh themselves by turning on Background App Refresh. This settings lets apps check for new content and download updates, or retrieve updated content in the background when they receive push notifications."
Only some apps can retrieve updated data through background app refresh (BAR). *All* apps can enter multitasking and be opened quickly...but this is NOT the idea behind BAR. BAR capable apps have the additional ability to refresh their data & content if they are enabled to do so. Just because an app is in multitasking, it doesn't mean it's capable of background app refresh.
If that doesn't clarify things, check out the following page:

Refresh Issue in Oracle ADF In JDeveloper

Hi all,
My ADF Application is having around 350 Forms. Application size is 700MB. I am facing a refresh issue in this application. whenever i am modifying any queries in view objects or lookups it is not reflecting immediately. Say : i modified one query. Then i deployed the application means the query is taking the old query. to take the modified query i have to rebuilt the view object. Every time i am facing this same problem. Some times within 2-3 deployments the query is modified by itself(without rebuild) and working fine. Sometime after 10 times also it is taking the old query only. Every time i have to rebuilt to fix this issue. Please help me to fix this issue. I am using oralce 11g.

Try to invoke Clean All Operation before you deploy the application.
From Main Menu -- >Build --> Clean All

In iOS 7, apps refresh themselves when switching back to them

I often work with one app and switch to another app, then return to the original. After upgrading to iOS 7, it seems that apps (or web pages in Safari) now sometimes refresh or reload themselves when I switch back to them rather than simply presenting me with what I had before. It's not a behavior I like. For instance, say I'm looking at a photo in my photo app Photo Manager Pro. I switch to another app, then when I come back, Photo Manager Pro seems to reload itself and starts all over at its splash screen, so it takes extra tapping to get back to the picture I was looking at. And Safari sometimes refreshes web pages when you return to Safari from another app.
It seems to happen sometimes but not others, and I can't figture out the pattern.
I don't think this has to do with the "Background App Refresh" feature as none of these auto-refreshing apps are in the apps list under Settings -> General --> Background App Refresh.
Any help in figuring out what's going on?

This is a problem many and probably all are having with iOS7 "Multitasking."
Here is probably the largest and most helpful thread about it, but it doesn't fix anything: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24582055#24582055

How often do Background App Refreshes occur in iOS 7?

In iOS 7, some apps can now update their data even when the app is not open. This feature is called "Background App Refresh". How often does each app update their content using this method? Is it up to the app to determine the frequency, or does iOS 7 limit them?

Why does there need to be a limit imposed? Perhaps it'd be appropriate for some app to update once a minute.
I can just imagine the havoc that would be caused if Apple limited turn-by-turn navigation apps to a 15-min update window, just as an example.

Scrollbar refresh issue in ADF Table

Hello, All
We have an issue regarding the ADF Tables. Please let me know if it is a Oracle bug. All of us know that 'ExecuteQuery' operation refreshes the cache in View Objects.
But, based on our testing results, there might be a table refresh issue on vertical scrollbars after this opertion is executed.
Settings:
In the attached example project, we have a ADF RichTable included in a PanelCollection.
In addition, We set 'AutoHeightRows' property on this ADF RichTable in order to show scrollbars on the PanelCollection.
Furthremore, a standard CommandButton is created on the toolbar to execute queries.
Experimental Steps:
1. Use your mouse to move the vertical scrollbar to around the center of its range. This behavior causes the scrollbar scrolling vertically.
2. Click on any row showing in the table right now, make it to be the active row.
3. Press the 'ExecuteQuery' button, waiting for the table refresh.
Results:
1. Active row moves to the first row in the rowset.
2. Vertical scrollbar stay in the center of its range without moving to the first row.
3. The first row is hidden from end users. The user can not see the active row in this case.
FYI:
The attached project can be accessed from the following link:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/Xn4Ki0DP/Application3.html
In this project, we tried to set 'partialTriggers' on RichTable and its surrounding PanelCollection separately. But, the refreshing issue still exists.

David He

Welcome David to forums.
Always mention your exact Jdev version. For more information read this: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=56
I too faced the similar kind of issue in one of my application.
As you have not mentioned the exact jdev version, I will tell you what I did in my application which was developed using Jdev 11.1.2.0
After the VO is executed, you can write the below line of code to show the first rows in the table.
applicationsRichTable.setDisplayRow(applicationsRichTable.DISPLAY_ROW_FIRST);
//applicationRichTable is the binding for the RichTable in managed beanHope it helps.

5.1.0 sp11 Connection pool refresh issue, revisited....again...!!!

"Hello,
From reading of these newsgroups I've seen many different manifestations
of what seems to be the same root cause with connection pools and

case weblogic server hangs.
Kit: 2xWeblogic 5.1.0 sp11 (not clusterd), Solaris 8,
java 1.3.1_01, 1xoracle 8.1.6, latest JDBC 2.0 drivers from oracle. Each weblogic instance and oracle have their own machines.
We do indeed have a firewall employed to run our subnets, and hence
our weblogic servers and oracle databses are in different DMZ's, but are
allowed to communicate to each other via rules set up on the firewall and
inspection of the logs show no such connections being dropped.
As far as the db is concerned, lookups (no writes) never take more than a few
hundred milliseconds and are then closed and given back to the connection pool
immediately from within the 'finally' block of code, hence hard to see when,if ever, the db is
is closing them due to excessive idle time.

but am concerned as to why this problem wasnt highlighted during our

of load that your actual runtime does.

Hi Joe,

Please find attached a copy of the jvm thread dump we got from thelast time
that weblogic blocked upon trying to refresh a broken connection.
We have turned off JIT with the environment settingJAVA_COMPILER=NONE.
FYI hotspot is enabled with '-hotspot', these settings can be foundin the
attached 'startWeblogic.sh'.Hi. I found a serious problem by reading the thread dump:
"ExecuteThread-11" daemon prio=5 tid=0x179d40 nid=0x19 waiting for
monitor entry
[0xeee80000..0xeee819e0]
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:144)
- waiting to lock <f8e77ad0> (a java.lang.Class)
at com.akqa.sainsburys.jv_recipe.ejb.session.RecipeBean.getConnection(Re
cipeBean.java:759)
It is important to never call DriverManager methods in a multithreaded
application
such as Weblogic, because these JVM methods are alloverly synchronized
at
the class level. One such method, DriverManager.println(), is called
continuously
by all JDBC drivers as well as the SQLException constructor. If one
server thread
makes a long-lasting or hanging call to DriverManager.getConnection(),
it can halt
all JDBC in the whole JVM including work on other open driver
connections.
Please show me the code for RecipeBean.java, and I will send you an
altered version
that should solve this problem. In fact, I can infer from the thread
dump what is needed.
Change the one method getConnection() to this:
// Make once and re-use a driver instance directly, avoiding
DriverManager
Driver d = (Driver)class.forName("weblogic.jdbc.jts.Driver").newInstance();
public Connection getConnection()
return d.connect("jdbc:weblogic:jts:yourPoolNameHere", null );
Also, change your pool definition. I assume you have
testConnsOnReserve set to true.
(You should). Also, you should change your refresh minutes to
something huge, like
9999999. The refresh is interfering with your online performance and
is unnecessary
if you have testConnsOnReserve set. I recommend:
weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.RecipeDBPool=\
url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@foo:1521:BAA,\
driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver,\
loginDelaySecs=1,\
initialCapacity=50,\ <------ note that this should be the
same as max, so all cons are made at startup
maxCapacity=50,\
testTable=dual,\
testConnsOnReserve=true,\
refreshTestMinutes=9999999,\
etc.
Joe
I've also attached some firewall logs around the time of weblogicblocking
(12.09). I could only get screen dumps for you, this may or maynot be
useful.
For the firewall logs use the following legend :-
195.110.64.205 - DNS
172.16.160.195 - host webserver 1 (i.e. what our licenses are boundto)
172.16.160.196 - host webserver 2
172.16.160.220 - website 1
172.16.160.230 - website 2

Apologies for any misunderstandings with my previous post, it appears to

Thanks for your time.sure, but first let's get you running OK. These dumps seem to be
very cryptic, as if you're running a highly optimized JVM that
loses almost all of the Java class references I'd normally see.
Can you run again with a more basic JVM? I am beginning to suspect
the JIT JVM...

Fequently however, connections are found to be broken
(either by periodical refresh - refreshTestMinutes or
testing connection before granting it to the
application - testConnsOnReserve=true), this has been
confirmed by viewing JDBC.log .
When this is so, weblogic attempts to replace these
broken connections with new ones and then proceeds
to grant it to the application. Once in a while however
(and by no means 'x' refreshes later), weblogic will not
come back.
One of 2 errors occur in our deployment which cuase weblogic
to refresh a connection.
<JDBC Pool RecipeDBPool> java.sql.SQLException: No more data to read fromsocket
and
<JDBC Pool RecipeDBPool> java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Broken pipe
I believe these settings to all be correct, JDBC drivers
in the correct point BEFORE weblogic.aux in classpath, yet
still have the issue of broken connections.
Any ideas ? I've been reading a lot into this probelm
on various postings now, and i'm completely stumped.
