Web and WebWorks Development

[LBP]

Hi there,

I saw this in the past on older builds and even with the latest OS build 10.0.9.2320 I got graphic issue running more than one app at same time. Is this a general bug in the OS graphic driver or something like this, or an issue in the Framework? Here is a picture of how it looks like in a testing app:

Hey LBP, 

i'm having the same issue running a devalpha A on latest fw with my webworks/bbui app. Could anyone look into this, i think my app got rejected for BFB because of this. It happens mostly when i invoke the browser from within my app (the browser gets completly messed up and is not usable) or if the browser is open and i start my app. Also running multiple webworks apps seem to cause those issues as well.

Dear willyyr,

another issue we are we have noticed using more than 3 apps. Most times you are opening the 4th app another app will be closed and sometimes it seem to be impossible to open a 4th app. We could find out why that didn't happen so far using a previous version of the OS/SDK.

Regards.

This situation is really annoying. I haven't found any way around it. It seems to happen every time I have a Webworks app running at the same time as the browser or even sometimes when I have two Webworks programs running along with BlackBerry World, for example.

This is my app:

This is the browser trying to display a Wikipedia page (the "W" is the test link in my app):

This is a Dev Alpha A running 10.9.9.339

I have the same problems on my Dev Alpha A (most current software). They occur as soon as more than one WebView is opened. The first/second app can also be the browser.

Looks like some GPU / driver bug in the A-series...

We have a twitter thread on this as well.  The Dev Alpha Devices have memory limitations compared to the gold OS running on production BB10 devices.

This is a current known limitation of the DevAlpha devices and I can assure you it doesn't happen on the production hardware.

Thanks for clarification, Tim.

First came my response on this thread, then your update on Twitter.

I hope you'll bring a batch of Z10s to Amsterdam for devs to play with. I can't wait to optimize my projects in terms of performance and can't wait for my limited edition device...

Thanks Tim, i was just about to post our twitter thread as well. Glad to hear it's all solved on Gold HW+OS.

Hi Tim,

thanks for your information on this. Seems we all need an updated device . You mentioned the memory limitations, is there a higher amount of memory in the production BB10 devices?

Regards

Unfortunately, I can't really comment on production hardware specifications. All will be reveled on the 30th
