Notification bar freeze and eventual system UI crash (Arc 10HD)
Does anyone else have an issue with the notification bar starting to freeze up when its pulled down? It usually only happens to me the first time after changing between apps and/or system elements. For example, I'll switch from the launcher to running apps and the problem appears. It'll then work as normal until I press the home page or select an app, then it'll freeze again the first time its used.
It starts as a barely noticeable jerk, but after being left on/sleeping it gradually gets worse. After a day or so it gets so bad it freezes heavily before the System UI crashes and restarts each time the notification bar is used. The only way to fix it is to reboot, although it can be mitigated somewhat by using a task killer to stop running services, despite still having plenty of RAM left.
I originally thought it was due to my running a fairly heavily customised version of the stock ROM, but after experimenting the problem is still there when using the factory ROM, although it does seem to take more time before it gets as gummed up.
I'm fairly certain its a software issue (I'm leaning towards a bug in Kobo's SystemUI.apk) as all other programmes run fine, even demanding ones, but the only other person I know with an Arc 10HD says they don't have the same problem.
So - anyone else noticed this?
Edit: just noticed it only happens if I pull the bar below its resting position in one swipe. If I pull it down, let it drop into place by itself, then carry on pulling it's as smooth as it should be. Very weird.
