The default jQuery Mobile page transitions are slide for pages and pop for dialogs. And on Android these can be sluggish and appear to flash on and off annoyingly. Turning off transitions is easy, well, once you know the code you need. The following (which is not overly clear in the docs) was given to me by fellow Adobian, and jQuery Mobile contributor, Kin Blas.
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function() {
$.mobile.defaultPageTransition = "none";
$.mobile.defaultDialogTransition = "none";
});
Simple, right? Well, there is one catch. The mobileinit event has to be bound before jQuery Mobile is loaded. In other words it needs to be after your code that loads jQuery, but before the code that loads jQuery Mobile. You can put it right inline, or in its own .js file, which you can include.
