Are you noticing lag after 4.0.2 update? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm not talking major lag, just a tiny bit when browsing the apps deck or widgets.

Yes, especially when scrolling through the Widget screens. Also had 2 Launcher force closes since flashing 4.0.2 Yesterday. Hope 4.0.3 will take care of that..

Yeah I noticed that as well... it's very slight, but it was noticeable for me right away.
Did you guys have yakju from the start? or switched over from another build?

I immediately noticed it with the keyboard. Slightly annoying .

Same here. GO Launcher is really bad. Stock is a bit "sticky" too.

You guys need to go into settings, into developer options and turn on " Force GPU rendering". It will speed things up.

I've had 2D HWA on since day 1
I'm about to flash mikes 2.1.1 been waiting for it heard its supposed to be much smoother, that's the feedback so far. Mikes ROMs are always top notch

Yep, I rolled back to 4.0.1.

Maybe one of the reasons for crashing was the acceleration and they disabled something to cure it but made worse. Sigh.

Switched to the latest version of the 4.0.1 stock build, and things are back to normal again. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't in my head lol
I think I'm gonna wait it out with this image till google releases 4.0.3. Because they obviously broke something in 4.0.2 :S

the only lag Ive really experienced is with google voice commands. After hitting thehome screen button you have to wait a second before hitting the microphone- if you hit it right away nothing happens. Maybe a little lag with the keyboard in the firt 30-45 seconds the phones on but thats it for me. Now signal thats another issue and that ones annoying.

It has to do with the CPU governors, not everyone seems to be experiencing the lag issue which is weird. Got 15min left on mikes 2.1.1 will see if his release runs better, if not restoring to 4.0.1 until 4.0.3

Just rooted mine and my speed issues seem to be gone on 4.0.2. No idea as to why that is.

I too noticed this on the homescreen, browsing apps/widgets, web browsing... I use a live wallpaper and when I scroll to the left or right the live wallpaper stutters and just pressing the home button repeatedly while on home screen... the live wallpaper stutters...
like someone else said... I think it's something to do with the adjustments they made to the CPU governor
Just upgraded to it 10 minutes ago

Android nub question alert: lots of people here flash in a moments notice, so are you backing up your settings/apps/data etc using some app to restore after flashing? If so, what r u using?
Thanks

I personally use MyBackupPro, works great for me. Titanium Backup is a very good app as well. Also suggest to always do/have a Nandroid Backup to go back to just in case.
UPDATE: Anybody that's interested, 2.1.1 eliminated most of the lag I was experiencing on Stock 4.0.2.

thank you sir!

[Q] Screen rotates very very slow.

Hello everybody!
I bought yesterday a Galaxy Nexus. I’ve rooted, installed clockworkmod and the ROM Android Revolution HD™ 1.3.1 | High Quality & Performance | GSM.
The big problem which I found till now is:
The screen rotates very very slow. (web browser, photos gallery, pdf documents…) with everything.
Sometimes even don’t rotate. I have deactivate all screen animations and the same duration. (2 seconds or more)
My nexus s was much faster with a beta rom with android 4.
Do I have an issue? Do you have the same problem?
Thanks in advance!
With stock rom is all so fast and smooth.
No problem at all.

Agreed. Sometimes I have to shake it after I turn it for it to even do anything. The accelerometer needs tweeking in the stock rom.
its very laggy .. and if that was " google choice " then i think it was a bad choice!
Can you guys quit repeating that google intentionally put a delay in it.
I noticed this as well - i'm quite aware of the difference between the screen not rotating and there being a delay.
There's something really quirky that's causing the phone to not recognize sometimes, I thought the new update fixed it but alas it didn't.

No, because it is a fact. There is a purposeful rotational delay.

So your screen doesn't accidentally rotate from holding it at a slight angle.

When it works right, after about a 2 second delay - it rotates.
But sometimes, it just doesn't work, I'll hold it for 10 seconds and it won't rotate like the phone didn't register it, so I have to turn the phone back and forth and the accelerometer seems to wake up again and works.
Does no one else get this behavior?
Im running the stock rom, no animations either and my screen rotation isnt all that speedy but i prefer it to my galaxy s which rotated at the slightest tilt of the phone. At least the proximity sensor on this phone doesnt lag like the GS did. I hated having to wait for the screen to respond before i could hang up the phone LOL.

See this is different.. I have not experienced this and had no idea you were talking about this. The delay on rotating the two seconds that you observe is intentional.. can't say not rotating at all is something I have experienced though sorry :/
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Screen rotation is VERY poor on mine. Im not talking about a "lag". Sometimes there is no rotation.
Same here, if the screen is touched it rotates and behaves normal.
Please click the star here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22561
Not noticed any issues with mine, on stock or with android revo HD 1.3.1.
Then again, it really pissed me off when my old phone always rotated with the slightest turn. Hated it. Had screen rotation turned off most the time due to it.
Only time I do like to see a landscape view is in videos, where the 'delay' is not really an issue.
So I guess I'm one of the few people who can thank google for implementing such a useful feature.
But seriously, who uses landscape often? Why?
That said, I wish the lag upon pressing the recent apps button was removed.

Android 4.0.3 + Franco's kernel is a speed demon!

Just recently upgraded to a 4.0.3 build and wow... The difference is tremendous. 4.0.2 felt really smooth and lag-free but this is really taking advantage of the hardware. It's by the far the smoothest UI I have ever used on a mobile device. Android has really come a long way! I don't think I could ever go back to using a Gingerbread device again
In case anyone is interested in giving it a shot, this rom + this kernel produce amazing results.
EDIT: Removed the video. Just realized some of the phone numbers are readable.
Can't wait for my Nexus, gonna unlock bootloader , root it, and then install 4.0.3
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
4.03 by itself is a lot better.. recent app button lag is practically gone from that alone..
Franco's kernel does help, of course.. but it was better than 4.02 even without it.

Yeap, I was on 4.0.3 alone before switching to franco's kernel. Both are much faster than 4.0.2. The kernel just gives it a little extra oomph.
As an CDMA/LTE user I guess I can just watch.
Nice, I'm going to wait for the official OTA or flash it manually once it's available because I don't want to lose all my settings.
I NEED 4.0.3 NAO!! omg I want it so bad!!!1! j/k
But seriously, I want it!
Can you show a vid of you pinch-zooming/scrolling around a heavy website like The Verge's desktop?

Turns out I also got a nice CPU that is happy to run with low voltage. Currently at 1000mv @ 1200mhz and testing.
edit: 900mv was fine, 850mv was instant crash. Going to settle for 925mhz.
Now to continue testing the other frequencies.

Those additional shortcuts (eg. to bookmarks) in quick controls in the browser, are they part of 4.0.3 update? I've only got three icons there with 4.0.1 official.

Quick controls is the feature you activate in your browser. Just go to settings, the last option there is the Labs. Go there and you'll find two "experimental" features, quick controls and full screen. Both are pretty decent. With quick controls you just touch the edge of the screen anywhere on the left side or right side and they'll show up giving you quick shortcuts to settings, tabs and to the address bar.

[Q] ICS 4.05 Keyboard Lag

Just installed 4.05. I am noticing that if I am in an app that uses the keyboard i.e Gtalk. and (with the keyboard still on the screen) I hit the home button to exit out of the app the app closes much faster than the keyboard. What I end up with is seeing my homescreen with the keyboard still open for about a second. Anyone else having the same issue? I have tried multiple different keyboards and still have the same issue. (Tried clearing keyboard cache and data as well).

Resolution To High For GPU

I've just purchased this phone and overall I like it. One thing I think is holding this beast back is the resolution. The GPU seems to seriously struggle - it's even noticeable when switching apps, navigating the settings, etc. It just seems like it doesn't have quite enough grunt.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar thing?
I was using an Xperia Z2 earlier today and everything seemed far more fluid and smooth. I'm honestly considering selling my 2 day old G3 and switching to a Z2.

I do sometimes when using YouTube, there will be stutter going to the home screen . No such issue in other apps. Sometimes the app switcher has some stutter but not too noticeable.
I have no lag and I am underclocked.

There has been some very weird stuff going on with those running Nova. It's not been proven that it's the cause but there is a pattern showing up. I know you've been running it like forever, I get that. But perhaps Google is inadvertently breaking some things with their monthly updates. Why not try uninstalling Nova after backing up the settings and run stock launcher for a few days. Just to see if it makes a difference or not.

I tried that a while back on my Nexus 5X and didn't see a way. But I'm sure things have changed so there might be now. If not then you'll only be stuck for a couple of days before you go back. Curious for your results on the lag and camera issue.
