Screen Orientation Lags?

[hawkeye680]

Hi, is it normal to be very unresponsive to changing between landscape and portrait? Or do I have a defective phone?

Also, what type of USB plug is that? I thought I read that it was a mini-b, but I ordered some from monoprice and they do not work.

Thanks.

You are in the HTC Droid Eris forum

 

[hawkeye680]

Correct, I am talking about my wife's Eris.

Thanks.

i noticed this on my eris as well. the screen lags when switching to landscape from portrait. like when trying to pull up the larger qwerty screen while typing out a msg. i'm only comparing it to a dare, which was much quicker than this, but also not running nearly as many functions....

Mine doesn't lag that bad, just like for a second, then it switches over..

Here is what I was told yesterday by a VZW tech:

It is 'normal' for the Eris to have a slight lag when rotating screens. By 'normal' he means that they are seeing it in most customers - not that it is how the phone is supposed to work. That was also his response to my battery life question. 'Normal,' but not intentional.

Mine lags when rotating. Maybe a second or 2. I actually dont mind it as it would be more annoying if it rotated when not desired.

What type of USB cable is it? I need to get her some extras and I already ordered the wrong thing.

Thanks

Any regular mini USB cable will work (such as a digital camera):

That's what my car charger is, straight from Verizon.

I have the lag too, the salesperson at Verizon when I first got the phone was aware of it, and she recommended shaking the phone a bit to get it to flip 'faster'.
I tried shaking it to make it go faster, but in the end I think shaking it only works to get it to flip if it's 'stuck'.

Nope, seems to be a proprietary connector.

It's not proprietary. It's a mini usb. I have several sitting around the house and they all plug right into the phone and charge it.

mini works just fine, but the one that comes with the charger is proprietary. don't know why they felt the need to make it different, fake people out and spend $20 on their specific model?

Well crap. Thanks for pointing that out. I just (incorrectly) assumed that the mini-usb would not work.

 

[Benfolio]

Yeah I freaked out when I got home the first time and opened all my stuff up, thought they had gave me the wrong charger until I tried to plug it in.....

wait wait wait... you started a thread in the Eris section so I assumed you had an Eris.. apparently you have the Motorola? If you do then it's a Micro-usb not Mini.

This was about my wife's Eris

as stated in the 3rd post reading is key ant

yes, mini usb works fine, and there is a slight lag, no more then 2 seconds though...

Same here but my Droid did the same thing. It was a fraction quicker but there was still a lag.

Ah emkay then for the Eris it's a Mini usb, and Micro for the Motorola. Lol.
