I started seeing quirks in 4.7 sim a while back and some people have
reported seeing similar problem on real phone. In some cases, the screen
and everything seem to freeze until a key is pressed when no press was
required prior to 4.7. I got a test case in my own code, essentially something
like this. From a background thread,
while (x=y.indexOf(foo, x+1))
{
someStuff();
System.out.println("doing stuff at "+x);
Vector.addElement(thing);
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
I can see in the sim it stops around the sleep until I hit a key or something.
Removing the sleep fixes the problem. Is there some issue with thread scheduler
or any other small changes that could account for this? I thought maybe this
was on UI thread or some other dumb thing. I can't rule that out but if
anyone has suspects that would help.
Thanks.
