Note 4 and on this device with zero lag. That sucks that your experiencing that because I couldn't imagine not using Textra #19 I ran Textra on my Note 4 and on this device with zero lag. That sucks that your experiencing that because I couldn't imagine not using Textra I love Textra man, the ability to be able to blacklist spam SMS is amazing. Wish I could use it again.You don't see any lag right away, just give it sometime and if you ever see that when your phone is locked and you're trying to unlock it but swiping the screen does nothing for a few seconds then all those swipes start to register all at once, that's the Textra issue I'm talking about. The moment I uninstall it again, that never happens. OS is Lollipop 5.1.1 on S6 edge+Tried many factory resets / clearing the cache partition, no luck, it is Textra. #20 I love Textra man, the ability to be able to blacklist spam SMS is amazing.

It's been over 2 years since this idea was marked as "selected" and yet absolutely NO movement. With the current COVID-19 outbreak timeline data is more critical than ever before and yet, Microsoft is COMPLETELY ignoring it. Sorry, Microsoft but many key industries rely on timeline, Gannt and milestone type data and yet, you continue to focus almost exclusively on financial data. Microsoft offers this forum and an" ide"a portal but both are a complete waste of time. Nothing ever changes. One would think that timelines, Gantt charts, milestones would be perfect way to display data graphically. Apparently MS doesn't agree. Oh sure, they offer their free Gantt chart but it works ONLY if you have a start and end date. Forget it if want need additional dates. The sad part is Power BI is supposed to be a way to VISUALIZE data and yet MS sucks at all things visual.Edge sucks on video playback - Microsoft Community
