Can't swipe to left/right panes

Post by *Thany »

I'm using a TabPro 8.4 with Android 4.4.2.

Swiping between left/right panes is almost impossible. Takes 10 (not literally) tries before it works... No idea why.

On my phone, a Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.4, no problems.

The reason is that you need to swipe a certain distance, otherwise TC will just return to the current panel. This is done to prevent accidental side changes.

You can use the 3 arrow button instead.

I'm aware that (esp. on my phone) short-distance swipe makes it stay on the same pane, which is also a pain, since normally apps are aware of inertia, and more inertia means a shorter allowed distance to swipe.

But that's not what I'm talking about. Different problem.

On my tablet, I can't get it to move at all, even if I swipe from side to side, from and to beyond the edges of the touchscreen. I don't know how to swipe more distance than that, to be honest.

Unfortunately I only have a 7' tablet for testing. Does anyone else have the same problem?

My problem is slightly different. From TC home page the program (v.2.60b2) seems to hang (sometimes it seems forever) regarding any operation. Swiping, entering a folder, soft buttons etc. Sometimes it gets really annoying. This has happened since I installed (and rooted) android 4.4.2. With JB everything was just fine. This is the only app that behaves like this under KK.

Do root operations like going to /data/data work? What you describe can happen when something went wrong with rooting. TC then tries to call "su" and wait for it to finish until a timeout occurs.

Yes, root operations do work. In fact I can access the system folder and write data in it (when I finally manage to get to it). Also a pop-up balloon informs me that TC has been granted root access. I don't understand why this lag happens only with TC. With Root Explorer I have no issues :?

Yeah, I am facing the same issue on an Xperia Z5 device.

Just use the arrow button to swap panels.
