I have had the same issue with JQM+bxSlider, and after investigating and testing a lot I found the solution for JQM.
You have to use $document.ready and $(document).on('pageshow'
take a look to this example. In this example you have a slider called bxslider in a page with ID "Quiz":
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
myCarousel=$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
captions: false,
infiniteLoop: false,
hideControlOnEnd: true,
slideMargin: 10,
adaptiveHeight : true
});
});
$(document).on('pageshow', '#Quiz', function(){
myCarousel.reloadSlider();
});
</script>
Hope this helps.
