Develop Bugs

People are raving about 4.0.3 but where is it?

I don't want to flash a custom rom but all this talk about the vast improvements in 4.0.3 are making me wonder what the hold up is in rolling it out to Galaxy Nexus owners. At least GSM owners like myself, there aren't any carrier approvals required for that.

Not really sure what the hold up is. I too want the pure stock version of 4.0.3, don't like a lot of customizations are whatnot. Hopefully it will come soon.
I have used Bugless Beast, which is pretty much AOSP with very minor changes and fixes.

I held out for about two weeks lol.
Finally caved, I flashed AOKP and Franco's Kernel. Been loving it ever since I'll never go back to stock.

My guess is 4.0.3 won't be released and google will push out 4.0.4 w the multi touch bug fixed.
There's also a browser crash bug w 4.0.3 that I hope google fixes as well.

There is always something coming that's the best rom in the world it seems

I never experience browser crash on ics, be it on nexus s or gnex.

When they have sorted out the bugs with the battery life then I think 4.0.3 will be released.

I guess you aren't visiting the same websites as me. Easy to reproduce.
Go to androidandme mobile site or nytimes mobile site and move around and view a couple of articles. The browser will crash soon afterwards.
It has to do with the ads. If you use an ad blocker the crashes disappear.

Lucky. My stock GN browser is buggy as all get out. A crash once a day? Switched to Dolphin solved the problem.
I agree though. It's 2012. Let's go with 4.03. I won't root or change. Stock only.

If they can improve battery life by at least 25% then I'll be happy.
What other improvement are we to expect with 4.0.3 / 4.0.4?

That's not even realistic. The LTE version is going to have crappy battery life almost by default. My GSM Nexus gets great battery life.

Nothing wrong with the battery life on the LTE version, you just have to turn off LTE

But then you get not so fast speeds. Verizon 3g maxes out around 3mbps. But most don't see even that. Though I do have to say Verizon 3g handles congestion better.

I had my 4.0.3 browser crash on me Today. First time I can remember on any version and I just flashed 4.0.3 on Friday.

Are u on 4.0.3? Only happens w that version.

I've been hesitant to root, because the rooting process gives me a panic attack and I don't want to have to re-do it after a push to 4.0.3 happens. I take it there's no assumption yet as to when a push upgrade is due to happen?

I'm hesitant mainly because I'd have to wipe and because Google Wallet is working perfectly right now and I don't want to mess with it.

I had perfectly working google wallet also on 4.0.2 stock and thought I will just wait out till Google releases official 4.0.3. But then I got tired n flashed aokp.n believe me, it's like my phone is freaking fast .if you thought that 4.0.2 is smooth seriously you gotta try 4.0.3.its mind numbing. Plus Franco's kernel.
PS-i like all the customizations of aokp...except the bootanination.n wallet works.

4.1.1 feel a lot smoother than 4.1...

Just got the 4.1.1 OTA and I gotta say, they made a lot of improvements from 4.1, (IO preview edition) and 4.1 wasn't bad at all! The biggest thing I noticed right away was a smoother notification bar. It just kept higher frame rate and such. I also noticed the stock launcher to be smoother overall (but especially in app drawer). I am very impressed with this small update. I first thought that it was just a small bug fix, but it's much more than that! I am running takju (had yakjuux but flashed to takju).
What kind of improvements did you guys see after the small update???

Does it? I didn't notice that prob cuz I use chrome

I feel exactly the opposite.
4.1 was a lot smoother for me than 4.1.1. There are certain lags and stutters that were not there before, at least for me.
Tried several different ROMs, official OTA, dirty installs, fresh ones...I'm actually starting to believe that the real thing lagging is my brain.
Think I'll just let it go for a while before I go nuts on this, and enjoy the phone a little bit.

I'm sorry to hear that... for me, it's just smoother and just better, I dunno why you disagree
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I honestly can't see a difference in smoothness. The screen is still glass and dirt still makes it harder to scroll around.
I'll apply some butter to it in the morning, but I'm afraid that will mess it up.
No really, movement between apps seems better, but scrolling seems unchanged.

The 4.1.1 update has helped my battery life.
Been going 12 hours since updating this morning and I have left 3g on all day. Still at about the 50-60% mark
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

There is no difference in smoothness between 4.1 and 4.1.1. It's a placebo and you also have different experiences based on the amount of apps you have running and based on what you are doing.

Does "project butter" apply only to the stock launcher? I'm using Nova and it feels smoother than before but still get the occasional stutter, specially when using live wallpapers.

I guess Nova launcher didn't enable some elements that apply to project butter or something... stock launcher doesn't lag at all, even in SOME live wallpapers

I have heard from friends that 4.1 was actually a tad smoother. Can't comment since I got my nexus the day the OTA rolled out
and never used 4.1. I wonder what the next 4.1.x versions will bring.

I'm actually curious after uprgrading from 4.1 to 4.1.1 the Google search voice command I guess called Google Now, takes a little while to start up it say "Initializing" almost everytime I start it up. When I would use it before in 4.1 it wouldn't even say "Initializing" it would go straight and allow me to speak.
I'm guessing maybe because more people are using it, and that causes more lag, just wondering if anyone else has encountered this?

It is a Google problem. The server has a problem, thus creating this problem for us. I bet it'll be gone on no time
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz

Started happening to me just a couple of hours ago.... probably a temporary server side issue.

Ditto. I long pressed the notification to be sure it's coming from the OS and it is. Then I force stopped the Google Services Framework.

Alright, thanks. I was getting confused when I found no post. I thought it was something on my end

me too!(from HK GSM GN)

Same here. Happened right after I flashed the sprint radio update... I was like how the hell could this be happening if I'm on wifi haha. Hopefully it'll be gone in the morning.

Reporting the same problem.
I am running Jelly Bean. Is anyone on Ice Cream Sandwich getting the error message?

Seems like a common problem with a lot of guys. Must be a google issue. Facing the same from a few hours back. Hopefully should be resolved soon.

No error on my MediaPad with ICS.
It's up on Phandroid now.

It seems to only be affecting devices running Jelly Bean, and more specifically Google Now.

I thought it was an something wrong w paranoid android so I restored my aosp ROM without backing up, dammit. It sucks but good to hear other ppl are getting this error too.

I just thought I am the only one who have this problem on nexus, good that I'm not only one with this problem...
I rebooted my nexus and did force close to the Google account app and then cleared data of it but its not my Nexus's problem so now I have to wait when Google fixes it...

Lags

Hey. After I flash a new rom, the phone is super quick and respones very well. Buy after a few days, it starts to get laggy. When I am presaing the soft keys it takes a couple of seconds to respond, apps loading times can reach about 20 seconds, contacts loading too. I am using the GSM Gnex with CNA 3.8 rom and franco kernel r298. The lags occurred with XenonHD too. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining about the developers, I am just trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.

Are you rebooting your phone or just leaving it on for weeks at a time?

I remember someone saying it has to do with the zram optimizations in roms and kernels. at first it makes things faster and the the idea implemented is good in theory but over time it makes things unbearably slow. i dont know the technical reasons for this, someone with more knowledge than me may be able to explain it.

Obviously downloading from the Play Store is using system resources (RAM, a % of the processor etc.) so a slow down is to be expected.
The phone restarting itself =/= to rebooting it regularly. Just like your computer you shouldn't leave it running 24/7. Sometimes you just need to give your phone a restart.

I think the lags are related to the heatcof the Gnex. Maybe the my cheap case makes it worse. I will check without case so it have more contact with the air. I will report the results.

I've noticed the same lag after few days. It's really frustrating to see your phone very fast and then kind of choppy....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

It looks almost like a memory leak. (That was a big problem on exynos devices runing cm10). It happened to me today (latest nightly cm10), Once my free ram was less than 100 mb the phone became noticeably less responsive.

Sane here!!! Thought it was just me... lol. I was running black bean baked! I love it but became super laggy! Almost threw it across my room lol. But just clashed slim bean and hope its bad ROM coding :-/.

I understand that custom roms do have great features but let me tell you something, after I switched from the S3 I decided not to flash any rom, I just used the nexus toolkit to root it and of course install franco kernel, since then the experience has been amazing, I'm just very careful with the apps I install, cheers!
Sent from my Nexus Prime JB 4.1.2

I've experienced the same on about every JB setup I've tried. A reboot tends to purge assets and get me truckin' again for several days though.

I recommend keeping it stock you people, stock almost never lags unless u use the google+ app
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Let me just chime in with the same advice as the previous poster: Try the stock rom. 99% of your problems will magically disappear.

Wow! If you only knew that no matter which ROM you're running, the majority of bugs are caused by the kernel. You did not make a smart choice on kernel my friend.

Yup u are right. Many people used to tell that Franco kernel is the best and stuff but even that after using for a few days gets slow whereas in stock all that crap doesn't happen. I still use Franco because games work smoother on it compared to stock. Even the battery life is inconsistent. Just try stock after weeks and Franco right after a reboot still stock will be overall faster and smoother.

Phantom touches. Never had them before

My 16GB flo was working fine from the beginning. Always kept it up to date with android releases. Never had an issue. Just today while swyping noticed some weird behavior.So, I tested with a multi touch tester. There were some fake touches recorded. It didn't even allow me to reboot. Later with some effort I managed though. After reboot, it works fine. I'm scared cause I bought that in US and I doubt the so called international warranty will be honored in India.Has this occurred to anyone else? What shall I do if it happens again? Is there some fix for this?

If an RMA is not an option, try Abel's solution. It boils down to bad hardware and no quality control. I had to RMA my first one for the exact same reason. Second one is fine.
If you do some googling, you will see that thousands of people have had this problem. Any definitive word from Google or Asus? You wish. They will never admit they made a mistake.

The one I had (before I sent it back to Google), would only do it after it had been started for a while. Reboot would make it go away for a while, but it always came back.
Not related to Xposed.
