Auto Rotate, slow?

Hi Guys,
I Have been using my galaxy nexus for about a day now, and I have to say that i find the auto rotate annoyingly slow. Sometimes not at all, really frustrating, some apps are smother than other but generally not great especially compared to my SGS2.
Anybody else having this issue?

This is likely to reduce accidental auto-rotations that have been a problem with some phones I've owned, like HTC Desire.
I wish it was a setting that user can change though.

I agree its annoying. I turned mine off but is there a way to turn it manual when you want it? Like a gesture or something?

I've noticed that in the videos. The Xoom does the same way but, ICS looks smoother. Like kristovaher mentioned, it may be by design.

It's just one of these things that you can't change in the stock version of Android, I am sure that in a CyanogenMod there will be options to adjust that.

Its not lag as such. Its implemented into Android as a timer so it doesn't rotate accidentally. Agreed it could be a little quicker

yeah the auto-rotate is not as fast as it was on the Nexus S running Gingerbread.
I guess I'll just get used to it.

Have you tried using spare parts to change the transition speeds?

that could work, although I'm guessing it's more to do with a threshold that has been applied to the actual physical rotation of the device, rather than any delay with the effect of the screen rotating.
Would be interested if anyone tries this!

Setting the transition speed unfortunately doesn't work. You don't need spare parts for it. The development section in the general Android settings has also an option to play with this parameter
Edit: btw I'm pretty sure that it can be changed by playing with the files in the /sys (not /system) directory. A lot of low level things can be changed there like backlight settings etc. My bet is that the file you wanna edit is somewhere in the /sys/class directory. Unfortunately I didn't root my device yet, so I didn't play with it yet.

What about turning animations off???

So far I like it slower. I was often annoyed by accidental reorientation due to normal movement on my Nexus S. This helps make sure the change in orientation is intentional and deliberate. I like that.

Install the MoDaCo rom, that has the tweaked the rotate.

The slow auto-rotation must be a feature of ICS. HC works the same way on the Xoom. My wife's iPad will auto-rotate at the least little movement. I prefer the HC/ICS way.

This is one of the few things that annoys me with this phone. It seems to be worse in certain apps, too. It's bad in gallery, and really bad in a gallery replacement app I use called Quickpic.

Extremely annoying keyboard lag

I have just upgraded from the HTC evo4g. I firstly rooted, then installed smart keyboard pro. I need a keyboard that types English as well as Korean, and smart keyboard pro has been my favorite so far.
The only problem is, the keyboard lags like crazy. If I type quickly, a whole bunch of letters gt skipped. For example, if I type "Mary had a little lamb" quickly, I get "Mry hd littl amb." Sometimes, some letters start becoming symbols as if I had held the key down to get a symbol.
I tried downloading other keyboards. Something called Multiling keyboard looked promising, with a very high rating. But it lags just as much with the same results.
Right now I am using google ime for korean using something called "Korean keyboard" from the market. I hate this keyboard but at least it doesnt lag so damn much.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good multi language keyboard that wont skip letters? I mean, most multilanguage keyboards lag like hell on this phone. They also seem to not be multi-touch enabled, even when they are...
Please help me out, I am so disappointed by this small (but critical!) annoyance. Thanks.

My fav keyboard is the gingerbread keyboard. Its multi-touch and should be multilanguage (i think at least)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free&hl=en

Thanks for the suggestion supdawg. Yeah I like the gingerbread keyboard but unfortuneately it doesnt support Korean input.
I actually found something called Go Keyboard and it seems promising so far. The problem with it is that the spacebar will only work if I press it two times everytime I want to space. Lol...

That sounds like something that could be fixed in the settings.

I have noticed this too. It seems the Evo4G has the best digitizer I've experienced - my ET4G consistently lags like yours. I have to type super slow or else it will only display a few letters. I've found Thumb Keyboard works better. I don't know about additional languages though.

Try "Thumb Keyboard 4"
I type really fast and this keyboard seems to keep up with me the best. Not sure if it support Korean though

If you have the hepatic feed back on i found that adds to the lag i turn the sound and haptic off and it works fine
Sent from my MoPho!

Try "go keyboard", i think it has chinese, try it and c how it is, doesnt lag for me one bit.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Yeah I have my haptic feedback and sound off. I hate haptic feedback anyway. The spinny thing in the phone that makes the phone vibrate, that thing saps your battery. Also my thumbs tickle if the haptic is on.
Anyway, yeah I tried to Go Keyboard. It still lags, but nowhere near as much as smart keyboard pro. It seems to be the best so far, but the only annoying thing is that there are no symbols above the letters. Also it's very hard to make fine adjustments if I mistype some word. I can't simply take the cursor where the error is and delete each letter, I have to delete starting from the end.
Why is this phone so laggy with the inputs? Sometimes I feel like there MUST be some options somewhere, regarding the touchscreen sensitivity etc... Or, maybe we have to use terminal emulator to change some values somewhere. I swear this phone sometimes feels like it doesn't support multitouch. type 2 letters really quick, and only 1 of them inputs. What the...hell.

I have the same pet peave with the lag issue. I don't know about multi language support, but my favorite one is Better Keyboard 8 available in the Amazon appstore. Its not perfect but its the best I've seen so far with being able to handle fast typing. The keys are spaced well and the are elongated slightly vertically and seem ideal for fast accurate typing. Give it a try and let me know how you like it.

Yeah dude I would recommend you try Lostkernel, but first try Thumb Keyboard. It's the only keyboard that doesn't lag.

I was going to recommend SwiftKeyX, but there's no Korean support. I have noticed a bit of keyboard lag (words with the same letter twice) but it's prediction and word completion have always overcome the issue. Perhaps worth looking into if/when they add Asian languages.

I have thumb keyboard, and generally like it. But it (along with other keyboards I've tried) has the weird issue that it starts out great with the auto-correct suggestions, then it stops suggesting until the entire word has been typed. My wife is experiencing this oddity as well on her ET4G. Anyone else?

Chris, thanks for the suggestion to use the Lost kernel. I will give it a try and report back here how it works out.

my keyboard only lags when I have it charging. Does anyone else have this problem? I use thumb keyboard and swiftkey

Another thing I noticed, if you turn "Popup on keypress" off, the lag seems to go away.

I have found the solution. Better keyboard 8 from the amazon market. Whoever suggested it will get thanks soon as I get to my laptop.

Favourite feature of Galaxy Nexus/Ice Cream Sandwich

What's your single most favourite feature of the Galaxy Nexus or Ice Cream Sandwich?
Mine has to be Face Unlock. It works brilliantly and it doesn't seem to be fooled by pictures of me which is great!
I only have one issue with it being that sometimes I get a message stating "Couldn't find your face" but then when I turn the screen off and back on Face Unlock immediately unlocks the phone after identifying me. Has anyone else had this minor issue?

Hardware acceleration. Finally. And the bigger screen without a humongous phone attached to it.

I just wanted to add that I have noticed this EXACT behavior. It does not happen all the time, but often enough to notice. The lighting is good and my face is clear, but I get "Couldn't find your face" message. Without moving the phone or changing the angle I just turn the screen off and then back on... and it instantly unlocks.
I can't be certain, but I think it has something to do with the phone being dormant for a while... when I come back to the phone I see this issue, but if I am using it often then it does not happen as much. I'm wondering if it has to do with a memory issue or something. Perhaps the Face Unlock feature is not actively in memory and it takes some time... and then just times out the first time.

There's a subtle feature that I read about in the user guide for the GNex, and it's one that I really like - When you are connected to a WiFI network, ICS will monitor your signal and reliability. If the network you are on is very unreliable or has a very poor signal, the phone will disconnect from it in order to use your 3G/4G signal instead.
When I leave work, this used to be a problem, as my HTC Incredible would hang on to the poor WiFi signal from the building, and I'd have to turn WiFi off in order to do anything network related. Now, the phone disconnects from the WiFi long before I even have to think about there being a problem.

I love the whole swipe to delete in general. I love the usability of ICS. Everything is so crisp fast and intuitive.

Scrolling. That's it. Being able to scroll, flick, etc. without having to guess what the phone is actually doing after an input is paramount. That was my biggest issue with gingerbread and I'm glad they've tweaked it in ICS.

i also like the animation from vertical to horizontal and vice versa, very matrix like

One annoying thing about JB on the GN..

Browser quick controls are useless in landscape mode. Trying to bring them up triggers Google Now everytime. Now I have to always use in portrait or use my left hand. Arrrrgh!

Can we get a comment section added here where people can just start new threads to make one comment and maybe let us know how they feel every day. For the rest of us, we can add posts to the correct already started threads in the general section.

I liked the old quick controls much better but one of my reasons for using them in ICS is that it reduced the lag that happened whenever the address bar would slide out. It doesn't lag in jellybean anymore so I have them off for now. I do kind of miss them though.

I agree, this is a problem!
Also I don't like how the new q controls behave. The old ones were much better.
I am thinking of switching to chrome but it is a little luggy compared to stock.
The rest of the OS is much smoother though.

I quite like the new quick controls with long-press but they're a little too sensitive, if I could wind down the sensitivity I'd be happy.
I hadn't noticed but yes, using the right ones in landscape is a bit more difficult but as long as you don't swipe at all you're good to go.

Works fine on the left side. What is the big deal?

It is odd but as said above it works on the left n you can always rotate the phone if you want it on the right

Except the software buttons move to the right no matter which way you rotate. I guess I can get used to operating it from the left side I suppose.
I would use chrome, but at the moment it's not as smooth as the default browser. If only they would combine the smoothness and quick controls of the default browser with the rendering engine of Chrome we would have the perfect browser. Both compromise on different things right now which is strange.

Picked up my Note 2 today. Have some questions and concerns

I picked up my Note 2 today at a local sprint store. They were only given 5 and once I got mine they had 2 left. This was 20 minutes after they opened.
I have a couple questions and concerns reuarding the phone that im hoping someone can help me answer.
1. Is there a way to stop the volume from decreasing whenever i plug it into my car? The volume will always go down to half and its kind of annoying.
2. When using the keyboard to type messages, if i spell a word wrong and hit space it wont autocorrect it. Is this a feature Samsung left out? Im so used to it on my evo, i feel like i have to keep looking at what im writing to make sure i dont misspell something.
3. If im in the browser and zoom in on something it wont adjust to fit the page like the HTC EVO did. Is this also something samsung didnt include?
The main concern I have with the phone is the 3g data speeds. I am coming from the original Evo 4g and although Sprint isnt known to have the greatest speeds I never had a problem downloading an application. Today it took an hour to download myfitnesspal from the play store. I tested the speeds on speedtest.net and I was getting 33kbps down and 5kbps up. My girlfriend who also has an Original EVO 4g was getting 300kbps down and 170kbps up. Still not the greatest speed but alot better than what i was getting on the Note 2. Both phones were in the same spot and the same time. I did the test a number of times and always had the same outcome.
Thanks everyone. So far I am loving this phone and both the hardware and software are great!!

Word prediction will need to be enabled in your keyboard settings

Also maybe try installing a different browser for your auto alignment issues

That is due to one of the headphone options to limit the intensity of volume so it doesn't damage your ears. You'll find the option it in the sound settings, after you disable it in won't change your volume to half anymore.

i agree with the Jellybean Keyboard!!! It should have come with it seeing as IT IS JELLYBEAN!!! I use the voice input constantly form the keyboard when I am emailing and texting, so when this phone "hid" the mic button and you have to press 3 buttons to get to it, I wasnt happy.... So I downloaded the Jellybean Keyboard and its awesome!!!I was having a fit last night with the browser when everytime I scroll, it zooms in, thought I was gonna throw up... so I switched to Google Chrome Browser.

I have a new Note 2, and I'm also new to Android, so I've been posting different things I encounter with the phone.
My experience with the keyboard is one of the things I posted, copied in here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The default Samsung keyboard on the Galaxy Note 2 is a sleeper.
Samsung included Swiftkey Flow, which allows gesture-based typing, like Swype. The more I use it the more I like it, and it has auto-suggest and auto-correct.
The number row at the top is pretty great, too, the large screen allows it all to fit. The auto-suggestions appear above the number row.
Samsung also included the handwriting keyboard, for the S-Pen. The handwriting recognition works really well, and I'm coming up to speed with it.
The main points to remember about the keyboards are these:
- auto-suggest and auto-correct function in both tapping and handwriting modes.
- in tapping mode the transition between tapping and gesturing is seamless, but if you try to use both modes within a word a space is automatically inserted.
- in tapping mode auto-correct functions only while using gestures. If you're tapping and not gesturing you have to choose among the suggestions instead of relying on auto-correct. I'm learning the cases where it's important to me to have auto-correct do its thing, like when typing "I'm". If I type it in in tapping mode, it ends up as "Im" unless I choose the auto-suggestion with the apostrophe. It's better instead to use gesture mode for "I'm" as the auto-correct will do the right thing and use the apostrophe. As I mentioned, the transition from tapping to gesturing is seamless.
- quick-punctuation and quick-capitalization functions are missing
completely. People who don't use gestures and people who've never spent time with an IOS keyboard ( and many who have ) don't get this.
I am starting to really like this keyboard. My only real gripes are the lack of auto-correct in tapping mode and the lack of quick-capitalization and quick-punctuation, but they are mitigated by long-presses.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Someone else mentioned in the thread the Jelly Bean Keyboard, and it really is an excellent keyboard, I discovered it with my Galaxy S3 and initially installed it on the Note 2. But I'm not willing to give up the handwriting recognition, so back to the stock keyboard I went.
The stock keyboard doesn't do everything, but it has its good points.
Cheers,
-John

I also came from the Evo4G, and the auto adjust feature you speak of is a HTC Sense feature. I noticed this early on after using others phones and tablets. Although a small feature for those that have had it and lost it we all know how big of a thing it really is. Still don't know why Google hasn't implemented this within current builds of Android yet.

Text/browser reflow after zooming(what the op is refering to on HTC phones...similar to word wrapping in excel lol) is patented by Apple. Samsung removed it from devices last year. HTC will eventually do so as well.
Its been all over the web for nearly 2 years...you are a smart guy you can find it
The only way to get it to work on samsung phones is to, after zooming in to the size that you want, you have to double tap the screen an additional time to enable text reflow.

Hmm, that'd contradict TechRadar.com's review [/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-2-1093688/review/5#articleContent]:You can have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 reformat pages when you zoom in but it doesn't do this by default, which is slightly annoying.
In fact, you have to go into the advanced section of the settings menu to dig this little gem out, which we weren't overly impressed with having to do.
Lots of people won't be aware of this - and that could lead to a second rate experience for no reason at all.​
