DeadEndAccount Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Ok, I've been enjoying my WP7 on ever website except one - this website. There is something really chewing up the CPU cycles when trying to make a post using my phone, there is some bearge of a javascript that is bogging down the CPU. If I set Internet Explorer to 'desktop' then the website works on when posting but if I have it set to 'mobile' the whole phone is bogged down and there is a massive lag between typing (slide out qwerty keyboard) and it appearing on the screen. Am I the only one experiencing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Fiber Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 This will not help you any further, but it works without any problems at an iPhone (3GS, 4.3.2, JB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fid Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yep I can reproduce this, using both fast reply and the full posting option. When you go to press in the box, the keyboard pops up so you can type, but any typing you do doesn't appear for a few seconds at least. When it does show up, it is rather laggy. That's on an HD7.

Timan Veteran Posted April 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted April 22, 2011 Dave said its no problem if you wait for everything to load first. Can you try that and report back to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fid Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Waited for everything to load and still the same - when typing it just acts weird, like it's laggy but also the cursor doesn't move with the letters, it only jumps to the end when you finish typing... if you get what I mean? But yeah still laggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=Outlaw=- Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 another thing that bothers me on WP7 and Neowin is that when you are on an article, and click on the logo. it would just refresh the page and sometimes just go to the comments sectiong. shouldnt it take you back to the front page? i have to click on news to take me back to the front.

Timan Veteran Posted May 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted May 22, 2011 Can someone test something for me, disable JS (if you can) and try the forums on your WP7 device. Forums only, main page I assume is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMan Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Why does a simple forum or website page designed for phones need JS and crap anyway. why can't it be a simple php page, that does nothing but show the topics let you post and do all that, I just don't see the need for all this fancy scripting in a phone based page.

Because MODERN phones are able to use Javascript and not belly up. Mobile web is not the same as it was 3yrs ago. Maybe if you're a hater but I've never disabled javascript in any browser and don't miss the option ;) Just trying to debug it, to see if its the cause or not. (could be prototype just sucks in WP7, since the forums rely on it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I appreciate that. My comment was directed at Chasethebase's unnecessary and unuseful negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure not the majority but devs probably do. Don't call me out because I didn't say anything of the sort to justify calling me a 'hater.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Because MODERN phones are able to use Javascript and not belly up. Mobile web is not the same as it was 3yrs ago. that may be, but it's still largely unnecessary, doesn't really add anything, and tends to make stuff slower. sure on an iPad it can make sense, but on a phone, I just want to see the topics in a nice simple layout, and reply, I don't want fancy scripts and crap, they don't really add anything of value to the "experience" anyway. The site looks and functions like a plain no script website, but behind the scenes there are scripts that despite not doing anything fancy or necessary, just slows the website down and adds in random bugs. and it's not like WP7 is the only victim of this on the mobile Neowin. Though it has suffered most due to the old IE6/7 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted May 23, 2011 Administrators Share Posted May 23, 2011 I find this strange, I've never experienced the slowdowns on my iPhone, could it be the connection speed or something? Are you on 3G when this happens, and can you confirm that these problems are still present when browsing with WiFi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuerg87yerg879e0rg9erugjer Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 my guess is that this may be a rending or javascript issue here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted June 17, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted June 17, 2011 Some mobile devices and browsers are just really BAD at scripting and large images. Like the Nintendo 3DS browser. >_> Fails on scripts all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted June 23, 2011 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2011 Just acquired another WP7 device. I can confirm it "kinda" lags on forums. But main page seems silky smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flawed Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Isn't it because of IE8? I mean in all the benchmarks, IE8 was the slowest browser in JS tests by a huge margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
