Delayed Home Screen

[samefly]

After using an app (doesn't seem to matter which one) I'll hit the home key to return to the home screen but when I do it will just show the wall paper and no apps. It takes a few seconds for the apps/widgets to appear. This is annoying. Tried restarting, didn't help. Cleared cache and closed apps to free up memory, still happens.

Anyone else with this problem? Is there a quick fix? I'm already tired of trouble shooting this phone.

Glass screen protector? G4 model number? Did you try factory reset?

I have had this happen with Nova launcher not on my G4 though. I ask are you stock and if yes then have you tried a reset (use a backup before you do) then failing that return for another.

If this is your only issue then don't be put off and get a replacement before giving up.

Good luck

No screen protector, stock system, and current OS. I just got everything onto this phone and was hoping I didn't have to reset everything.

You could go into developer mode and reduce the animation time from stock x1 to x.5 that could give you the snappier feel you are going for.

Sounds like you are seeing redraw of the home screen? That would mean the launcher is getting dumped from RAM when it shouldn't be if I understand you correctly.

When Lollipop initially came out, my Nexus 5 had this issue happen constantly...it was infuriating. No app would stay open once I left it for even a second. Running Navigation along with Play Music in the car was an insane battle as each cut each other off and shut each other down.

Once 5.1 or 5.1.1 was released, all of that was fixed.

I haven't seen this issue on my G4 yet at all! Hopefully it won't creep up on me when I least expect it...
