Just picked up my nexus today. One for the wifey too. When we both have live wallpapers, my phone stutters moving from page to page but hers doesn't. Also in Quardrant, on the part of the graphics test that has a moon orbiting a planet or whatever, my phone will only do like 5fps and stutter like crazy, whereas hers does about 50fps. She is on AR and I'm on AOKP with franco kernel but got the same results with AR with stock kernel first so its not just the rom or kernel I don't think. I also tried enabling/disabling the forced GPU rendering with no effect.Any ideas?

You don't need a warranty replacement. The live wallpapers aren't optimized for ICS and neither is quadrant.

Yes, same one. So is this a hardware issue? What exactly is having trouble? The GPU?

I think it's hard to say for sure. It could be some rogue apps running in the background on your phone that is slowing it down. I think that would be a more likely explanation than a hardware problem.

i read the whole thread. you hint here, you're flashing rom and kernel. i suggest you reflash whatever you're using, but doing a thorough wipe. or trying another kernel. the phone just came out and even though everybody says this or that kernel is stable and badass, basically they're all experimetal/beta on the fly with the constant updates.

The new beta works just fine, talk to Samsung about their f'd up kernel and leaks ....it runs great on galaxy nexus
So it's not chrome it's probably Samsung not having full hardware acceleration right in the leaks etc

varies from phone to phone.
you need a kernel that has the values for overclocking.
Well, the furthest I've ever seen a GNex do was 1844.2 MHz, on both cores.
But as far as I'm aware, the furthest you can go with, by downloading a kernel from here, is 1650 MHz, with imoseyon's kernel.
I tried overclocking my Gnex before - it worked fine but as you already asked: Why? I have not find any reason to stay overclocked. In my opinion everything already is very fluent.

No one can tell you what the highest stable overclock for your phone will be. Sure, they can tell you what their individual hardware can achieve, but that does not extrapolate into what your phone can or cannot achieve. There's normal variance from phone to phone even if they're configured exactly the same.
Also, this is one of those things that, if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be doing. Not having a firm grasp on what your doing and the consequences thereof is a fast and easy way to end up with a paperweight.

You guys think the S3 was a bad choice for me? I've always been about pure android, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus. Screen cracked on the Nexus so I "upgraded" to an S3. It's really quick but kinda laggy. Galaxy Nexus was definitely quicker and now there's rumors of the new Nexus coming out around November/December which I'll wanna get. You guys think the S3 was a bad choice getting it at this time? Do you want the new Nexus or like Nexus better?
I could always sell my S3 when it comes out and buy the Nexus, if the S3 is still worth something in December.

The s3 will still be worth something in December. I understand your wanting a pure android experience.... But "quick but laggy", which is it?? I've had no complaints but everyone wants different things out of their devices.... If you are not happy with it, sell it and buy the nexus.

Own a nexus and it is no way smoother than the gs3. But if you want aosp just install aokp,cm10 or paranoiddroid. All of which work great on the gs3.
Touchwiz does get clunky after adding all my widgets but nova prime on stock with touchwiz icons worked well for me too.. currently though aokp is going solid.

Oh, right; sorry I missed that. Yeah, my notification bar lags when I'm watching a YouTube video, too! Never had occasion to bring it down before there....
I think the JB OTA will solidify the GS3. I'm a little hesitant to run custom, too. I mean, they're called nightlies for a reason. If there was ever a bleeding edge, they are it.

Ya the lag isn't to big of a concern cause I think JB will really spice this phone up. I do t wanna run custom, I don't have the time to flash everyday anymore and keep up. And my laptop is broken rn

I have both a nexus with custom JB and I have my S3 back to Triune2 ICS. I tested JB roms on the S3 and they ARE noticeably smoother! Also nova Prime is definitely a better experience than stock JB launcher on nexus (especially if you take advantage of the swipe gestures).
If you want to check where the difference in horsepower lies, load a fancy live wallpaper such as ocean HD (it was 25c a few days ago), it runs like butter on the S3 but the nexus struggles with it!
So next week I'm going on a road trip and don't want to have to worry about my battery life.... So what Is the best kernel to use on my Verizon Nexus?
And I'm not an android noob, but I am a complete noob to ov/uv(ing) the kernel..... what Is recommended?
I right now am using Xenon HD and Franco kernel nightly 361
Also my processor governor is set to interactive
I want to use Spotify and access my phone to play random games.
thanks so much in advance!

Haha dude I dont see why wouldnt you look cool with your Gnex. When I was out the other day wih a friend and some chicks and friend with iPhone 5, guess what phone impressed the girls? All of them got 4 or 4S and when I put out my Gnex, they were so impressed by it, even only by design and size of screen. My sister said that she doesnt like iphone 5 because it looks like her tv remote.
You cant do anything much to get much battery life since our phone has much bigger screen. If you want to play games while on trip, get your batteries ready. For myself, one battery cycle is enough since I listen only to music so I can get 10 hours.
If you are running Franco (Which you said you were) open up the Franco app, go into Power Modes, load up the Presets and use the BeastlyBattery, also make sure you turn off Auto Sync and turn your screen brightness to the lowest setting that you can handle. All of those will get you better battery life than playing with voltages all day.
Uv wont help too.

There is no lag here...try a different rom...on the custom roms...lag is gone...but you are moving along so never mind.

Well, the N4 did just drop $100 so its a good time to change if your going to. But im running the GE 4.3 rom and its absolutely lag free.
Most of my complaints stem from the animation transitions...you can definitely see some type of stuttering. It happens more frequently when the phone dims its lcd brightness.

I'm thinking of upgrading to the note 3 once it gets released on T-Mobile too. To be honest I was a little disappointed with the s4. Not too much to go back to the nexus 4. But a little disappointed.

I just made the switch to T-Mobile and bought the S4. It's still getting delivered lol But the Nexus 4 @ 200 bucks OFF contract is an excellent deal. You can't beat that.
Again maybe it's just me, but I don't have any of the lag that I keep seeing people post about. (knock on wood) Now my OG Note was laggy as all get out. FWIW I don't use the TW launcher I swapped out to Nova after 1 day, but even with TW it didn't lag I just didn't like the look. In my experience having too many widgets seemed to cause lag, especially those that auto update, removing most of them helped somewhat with the Note
I've been tinkering with the idea of the Note 3, but really I don't want to go any bigger. Besides in a few more months something else may catch my eye, thanks to JUMP I can get it if does.

Why dont you just flash a GE or AOSP rom?? I'm sure you're gonna end up flashing an Aosp rom on your nexus anyways...
Like it has been said previously, just flash a Google Edition Rom (it's going to end up just like a Nexus 4): I did it and there's no turning back for me, the phone feels so much faster now... I do sorely miss the TW camera, but I use other features a lot more that depend on speed, plus I need to access some stuff (usually medical stuff) relatively quick, so I couldn't handle the lag.
People who claim lag don't know what they're doing. Please talk about your Nexus 4 on its respected forum.
