@sdymj84 @apcanada I’m using Explicit wait with latest Java client and appium server version, it does work properly.

You can put as little implicit wait and individual element level explicit wait.

Please go through all the comments in [https://github.com/appium/java-client/issues/574](https://github.com/appium/java-client/issues/574)

If it’s not working for you open new ticket with all the details as per issue template

Thanks,  
Vikram
