Current behavior:
The problem only shows on a windows phone ( MS Lumia 950 tested )
When pushing or popping a new page, the default page transition animation is flickering.
All elements on the page ( Header, Content etc ) are jumping and switching between 100% transparent and 100% visible with no state in between during the transition time. This looks broken.

Expected behavior:
Smooth animation between page transition like it is displayed in the browser or using e.g. an android device.

Steps to reproduce:
This is easy to reproduces as it happens with the templates provided with ionic.
Steps to reproduce:

1. ionic start pageTest super --v2
2. ionic platform add windows
3. ionic build windows --prod --release
4. Deploy on device

Related code:

• no additional code except the super template from ionic

Other information:
I posted it on the forums to see if there is someone with the same problem. But i guess windows is kind of to excotic? :) And i think it belongs here anyway as it seems like a bug / broken behavior to me.

If i disable the page transition animation, it looks fine, but i don t know how to disable the default back animation that happens wenn using the back arrow navigation generated by ionic?

Hello, thanks for using Ionic, we will look into this.

As additional information, it is noteable that besides the broken page transition animation, the app responses very slow to basic thinks. A klick on a menu item etc takes about 500ms to 1s bevor something happens. You can really watch slowly how the background color of the clicked item changes, in response to the touch event long after your finger has left the button. etc. I think there is a general performance issue that is maybe also causing the transition problem.

Did you test on windows 10 aswell? My app is running without any flickering on a windows pc...

[a1development]

Yes i did. It works perfectly on windows 10 pc.
During the last days i connected with other ionic developers that are all confirming and facing the same problem. Its not only the page transition. Even a simple click on a button is with a big delay. ( between 500ms and 1 sek) .. and that is on the templates provided by ionic. So there is not much going on in the templates.

Hello, all! We recently made some changes that fixed a click delay, especially on lower end devices. Because of this, I am going to close this issue for now. Thanks for using Ionic!

In which version is the fix? Is it already in 3.1.0?
