Hello, I am thinking of buying the Galaxy Nexus from the Play Store, but I have a question for you guys, I remember when this phone was released, there was a multitouch issue while playing some games. I play a few games that require multitouch and would be supremely annoyed if I have this issue. So my question is the problem still present, or has it been fixed, being that there has been a few updates for this phone. Right now I have a white Galaxy S2, I like it, but want the galaxy nexus now.
I noticed it before.
On a couple of occasions. A reboot would fix the problem...and it only plagued me maybe three times.
BUT.
I haven't noticed it in quite some time...
And when another thread about the issues was posted a couple of users seemed to think (and I'm prone to agree) that 4.0.4 fixed the issue.

Hi all,
Having seen the videos of the Note 2 in action and read loads of reviews singing it's praises i'm almost convinced that it's time for me to part ways with my iPhone 4S and try something different (and better hopefully). So I decided to have a play with the display model in my local O2 store. Annoyingly just swiping between screens seemed quite jittery and slow and I was quite worried by that. Giving the benefit of the doubt I tried another Note 2 but this time in the Three store and that one was as silky smooth as i'd hoped. Does anyone know what O2 have done to theirs to make it feel so bad? Or does it normally still run smoothly even with tons of applications installed? And has anyone else come from an iPhone and have any tips for a smooth transition?
Thanks
No idea what O2 might have done to make their display device run so badly.
I've got a T Mobile Note 2 and it's super smooth - zero jitter or lag and I have quite a few apps installed. Even when running in multi-screen mode with two apps simultaneously displayed it is still 100% responsive
The devices in stores are usually left on for days, are plugged in all the time and have a load of crap installed to it. Not to mention the introduction videos that are constantly playing on them.
Next time you go in a store; give them a reboot

Thanks for reassurance. I'll be grabbing a Note 2 and hopefully it'll live up to my expectations.
I can confirm that O2 firmware on the Note 2 is freaking horrendous. What were they THINKING?! It is indeed slow and jerky. Even the splash screen is an abomination. And why make it so you have a big ugly notification if NFC is on?
I had to go back to it for a whole day from stock as I was returning the handset for a replacement in titanium grey and t almost put me off the phone.
Thank God for the XDA community and the ready availability of stock ROMs.
If anyone out there from the O2 Screwingwithperfectlygoodhandsets Department is listening.....just STOP it. We don't want your crummy little splash screen or a wallpaper with the O2 Arena on it. AND WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT YOUR SLOW ROMS.
Will admit I only lived with the O2 ROM for about 24 hours before flashing stock, but I didn't notice it being particularly jerky during that time. NFC icon though, you're quite right.
+1 I actually put new rom on within 2hours. Didn't bothered with branded
I suppose I'm asking this question about any phone/tablet really. Due to family emergencies, I've had my phone on 24/7 since I got it almost 2 years ago (the Verizon Galaxy Nexus), and it's starting to slow way down, though some of that may have to do with some horrific drops.
With my N7, I'm worried that leaving it on constantly will somehow cause it to wear out faster. I have awful tinnitus so I have to listen to soft music to sleep, and I use my tablet to do that, so it sits in a dock playing all night, and then I use it during the day. Is this bad for it? Is this why my first N7 turned into such a piece before I got the new one? Is this also why my phone is acting like a massive tool?
Any help would be great, I've always wondered about this, but never seen it talked about it. Thanks!
I think flash memory is crapping out for users of both the galaxy nexus and the nexus 7 - just see the reviews of 'lagfix', all reviewers use either of these devices. Also probably the reason Google has turned on fstrim since android 4.3
Whether being constantly on caused the flash memory to get worn out - who knows..

I actually tried using lagfix on my first N7 and my phone, and it didn't seem to do a whole lot sadly.
so i just got a brand new nexus 7 2nd gen last week and so far i love it but nearly every game is suffering from what i can understand as "stuttering" or "microstutter". its as if the games just dont play smooth, several games hitch and lag when there is alot of movement on the screen, i am on the latest version of android (kitkat 4.4.4) and my device is rooted, but this issue even still affected the tablet even before the root. So what on earth could cause my games to stutter and lag like they do?? also i have tried disabling google currents entirely and that did nothing. so do any of you android users out there know anything i can do to fix the lag in my games? also my nexus 7 also seems to be suffering from random reboots as well. I am certain it is a software issue and not the tablet itself, because i have read that many other users of this tablet are having the exact same problem after updating to kitkat 4.4.4, Please try to make your replies as simple as possible because im a total noob in this whole android stuff and im just getting into hacking and tweaking my first ever android tablet.
I'm suffering extremely Jerky scrolling issue in different apps.
I was also quite excited about this purchase made just a few weeks ago. Can't be more disappointed.
You can try an app called "lag fix". It'll TRIM your storage. It made a huge difference in previous Nexus 7, but I didn't notice any difference whatsoever in my case on Nexus 7 2013.
This will be effectively my last Asus product.
I have had NONE of these problems on mine. I love mine and it works great for me. You should definitely try a hard reset because they usually work quite well on things like this.

I was going to get the 5x, but none of my friends whom already had .... had the phone said that don't buy one
It's not a Nexus .... No Nexus laggy
Is there an update or solution to it?
if you come from an old phone like galaxy s3 or galaxy s5 then Nexus 5X then you will notice improvement you won't notice the lag.
but if you come from a very fast phone like HTC one M8 and iphone 6s and Nexus 6 (2014) then you might notice some lag on Nexus 5X
It's not a deal breaker. you should be ok. try testing it from a High Street (shopping Center) shop and if you like it keep it or get a exchange or refund if you have problems with it.
if you like fast update's and 3 years of update cycle then get Nexus 5x or Nexus 6P.
and After 3 years you can Install new ROMs and kernels and get the latest Android. its Good for developers etc.
Nexus 6P is more faster.
depends what you like. everyone is different. you think different then me and like different things then me.
some people like more features like split screen, SD card, removable battery, better speakers, battery life. etc.
I think the solution is to remove the 3rd party software that is causing their lag. As far as I'm concerned, this device does not lag in any way. Faster than my Nexus 5 and runs cooler while doing so.
im coming from htc m7, no lag at all, a lil stutter here and there, but not lag
I come from the Oneplus One and i notice lag in everything, its not stuttering but its just slow to respond on things like opening apps, it just takes a bit longer for it to load things, quite annoying.
Hi. I've been a loyal user of Galaxy Note 2 since the day it was first released in the UK (October 2012). Sadly, I had to get another device 6 months ago as Note 2 was no longer supported in terms of software (I had software security concerns) and I went for a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. However, I kept using my Note 2 now and then, mostly as my alarm clock and often as a second small tablet, and there were no sudden freezes or restarts or any kind of slowing down whatsoever. A couple of weeks ago, I saw that Samsung released a newer Kitkat build for the Middle East region with all the Stagefright issues solved and the March 2016 Security Patches applied. I immediately flashed that ROM. However, the issues I mentioned earlier (slowing down, freezing) started to come up. Although I was happier in terms of security, I couldn't bear the problems and flashed the UK stock ROM and did a reset again. However, the problems are still persisting. I haven't got much apps on it either. Social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Viber, Instagram etc. Have I done anything wrong during the times I was flashing the software you reckon? I almost get the user experience I got from the first gen Galaxy S phone on Android Gingerbread now. Any suggestions on how I can get rid of these problems? I am thinking of giving it to my mum until the prices of Galaxy S7s decrease in the upcoming months, she's currently using a Galaxy S2 i9100 so Note 2 would be a much better phone for her for the mean time until I can get a S7 for her, ONLY if I can solve the freezing problems of course. Any suggestions?
