Re: Android development lag
What apps are you using? Pretty much all the apps I use have been updated since the release of 4.2.

Re: Android development lag
The main ones (reason for my complaint) are US Bank (dimensions) and Zynga poker (no screen rotation, crashes a lot). Its not unbearable, just annoying.

Sounds like a bank issue. My bank apps are updated.

Re: Android development lag
Have you tried emailing the developers of the apps you're having issues with?
Re: Android development lag
Yes, got the typical "thanks for your interest, we're working on a fix" lol

Re: Android development lag
Time to change banks! And then interview prospective banks if they are 4.2 compliant. lol
Re: Android development lag
the US bank example is an example of a poor developer who didn't build the app to scale resolutions. There are a few apps like that.

US bank app was updated Jan 16th, since then this bug was introduced. I was using US bank app before the 16 update and had no issues.
so its not a matter of 4.2 issue but bank publishing a buggy app.

I've had the issue since owning my N4 in late November.

It's likely your device's resolution matched up with the application so that you didn't experience the scaling problems. The US Bank application's reviews mention problems with scaling (density-dependent scaling; too small on some devices and too large on others), force closes when making deposits and photographing checks, and failing to recognize correct passwords. I went back as far as four months and continued seeing these issues mentioned in almost all reviews.
Unfortunately, as wunderbar said, the problem here is that US Bank has a developer with quite poor Android development practices. There are only two solutions that come to mind: first, just wait until the issues are eventually resolved, and second, hope that US Bank notices the reviews and trouble being caused by their poor application.

maybe i didn't notice it before. i definitively noticed it after the update.
maybe i was wrong
Re: Android development lag
While nowhere near as important as a Bank application, the SpeedTest.net application does not scale up on the Nexus 4 either.
Maybe I am just unlucky the but the developers that I have contacted regarding application issues, either never write back or just say a fix is in the works but never seem to deliver that fix.
The only time I ever got a response back a meaningful from a developers was after emailing someone higher up within the company and than only did the developer contact me and explain what is going on and what was being done to fix it.

Re: Android development lag
Its doesn't seem that that's a 4.2 update fix, but more of a resolution fix. This seems is somewhat of a control to keep the images from scaling to fit the screen. By forcing it to not scale, it will look the same on most screens bigger or larger. However, the developer probably just forgot the tell the application to center itself when the screen is larger than the set screen size of the app. Kind of like speed test app, doesnt matter how big the screen is, it stays the same size, part lazy, part control.

You're not going to get a hard date from them.
