Anyone else come across this problem? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

When ever I put the library widget on one of my home screens and set it to all it works fine at first... that is until I go to the market to download an app.
When I go to the market with that widget on a home screen the fps of the phone drips to like 2 fps. Its horrible.
The same thing happens if choose a song through the widget and play it through the play music app. The entire phone starts stuttering like crazy.
Has anyone else cone across this?
Maybe a factory reset?
I'm 100% stock jelly bean

Can anyone check this for me and confirm whether they have a problem or not please?
Add the widget to a home page and select all when it ask you what to display. Click on like a song to go into google music and come back out and see if your phone lags like crazy.
thanks

I can confirm this, when I have the library widget on my home screen, it lags the nexus 7 very badly. it happens after it updates such as a new played song .I fix it by removing and re adding the widget.

Thanks for the reply mate.
Doing a factory reset probably wont fix it then.
I hope they fix it in an update

3 issues I have with my G2

Issue #1. Sometimes when I try to set a wallpaper it puts on the default blue wallpaper with white lines. The only way the wallpaper I selected shows up is if I reboot. ( I think this might be an adw ex problem )
Issue #2. When watching videos in youtube or on different sites the video will freeze up but the audio will continue even if I exit the website or youtube app. I usually have to reboot or just wait the duration of the video for the audio to stop.
Issue #3. When I open my gallery the pictures don't always appear and the videos in my gallery never work. I just get a black screen but the audio will play.
Does anyone have these same issues or know a way to fix them ? My phone is stock. Thanks in advance.

1. try a different launcher and see if it still happens. If it does, it's an issue with your ROM/phone. If it doesn't, it's an issue with ADW Ex (and I'd then recommend that you try another one, like LauncherPro or something)
2. There is a known issue with the latest version of YouTube app - to avoid this, either downgrade to an earlier version, or make sure you rotate back to portrait mode before the video is finished playing. If the video ends (or you try to pause/stop) in landscape mode, your phone will lock up.
3. Are these videos that you recorded with the device itself, or ones that you put on there from your computer?
You mentioned that you're stock - are you rooted? Have you flashed anything (new kernel, etc?)
When I said I was stock I meant that I am unrooted. I apologize. The videos in my gallery are ones that I have recorded myself . Thank you for answering my other problems. Launcher Pro does not bug out my wallpaper.

I would do a master reset and if it is still happening after that then you have a defective G2 and should do a warranty exchange

Just an update , I am having the same issue with the wallpaper on launcher pro plus. Perhaps it is the phone itself and not any of the home replacements ?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Are you trying to use the same wallpaper, or have you tried a few different images? Might be soemthing funky with the file itself?
It happens to any wallpaper I select from the default wallpapers. It really isn't a big deal and I guess I can deal with it. It is just annoying that I have to reboot if I want a different wallpaper lol.

Yeah I was wondering about this crap. Any specific version that you recommend, and where to get the APK?
Also about the wallpaper problem; I've had this problem in the past and it was an issue with the ROM, but clearly you don't have that since you aren't even rooted. Like someone else suggested, if you can do a factory reset, as painful as that is, it might fix the issue. Who knows, maybe something in the system became corrupted?

Anyone porting sense

I would be surprised if they did because Sense is closed source. HTC might frown on someone using their propriety software.
.....
If you wanted sense, why didn't you just buy an evo3d. I had sense on my droid incredible and it drove me insane. So buggy and so in your face. A phone shouldn't make thunder noises. There were times I went to my homescreen and couldn't see my icons because there were random clouds on the screen lol. Seriously. The widgets are pretty, but use them for a couple of days and see just how bug and unusable they are. The news reader literally doesn't have a mark all as read button. So you either have to individually mark each story as read or just ignore the little unread story counter. The music widget doesn't update itself when the song changes with the screen off. In addition, the album art in the actually app isn't cached, so you see the album art visibly reload everytime you interact with the app. The bookmark widget stores a new thumbnail everytime you visit a webpage, but it doesn't delete the old one. So your sd card fills up with old thumbnails. The weather app almost always has a temperature that is 10 degrees off, even if you just refreshed. Try to enter a custom location in the weather app, I can almost guarantee it won't find it even if you enter the zip. So you have to enable automatic location, which is frequently wrong and drains your battery.
I hate sense and will never buy another sense phone. Rant over.
If bubby gets this phone he might... He did for the ns4g i think..

Gallery Layout in ICS - What Am I Missing?

Is there any rhyme or reason to how the folders in the Gallery app are ordered in ICS? I swear, they just appear to be in a COMPLETELY RANDOM order, and it is maddening. It's not alphabetical, it's not by date - what is going on? Has anyone figured out a way to bring some order to this mess? It's extremely frustrating.

The problem I'm referring to is that when it is sorted by album, the albums themselves are not actually sorted (e.g., they're not listed alphabetically). When you have a large number of albums, this makes it very difficult to find the one you're looking for. I didn't have this problem in the stock gallery app in Gingerbread or in Honeycomb.
Only workaround is to use 3rd party app, QuickPic. Works wonders for me. I just can't use the stock gallery.

Android 4.2 Issues on Galaxy Nexus

Hello Guys
Let's share the bugs that everyone experiencing with the new stock JOP40C Android 4.2 for Galaxy Nexus
I'll go first
I have a problem when in a call the phone keeps doing a weird vibration and once i done the call i find the phone on the homescreen and have to go to the notifications menu to hang up
the other issue is randomly force close for the launcher and some apps
the camera is very laggy when rotating from landscape to portrait
anybody experiencing those issues ?
Ok guys anybody experiencing random reboot on the stock android 4.2 Galaxy Nexus
You can star this for Google to fix : http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39912​
I am not. Also, and unrelated, I'd like to point out the redundancy of your title. Android 4.2 issues on, say android 4.0.4 would be revolutionary, but as you've directed this... Anyways, did you update ota, or flash the image manually? I've read of many issues from the image flashes prior to ota, that I haven't experienced at all since my ota on my drive home.
In stock browser in full screen mode i'm having a weird effect on loading bar on top, don't know if thats supposed to be like that or not.. just strange and sometimes the adress bar becomes bugged strange behavour
Yeah you might wanna reword that title...
Anyway, this update SUCKS!!!!!!! I was trying to be positive about it... Focusing on the cool new stuff... But then that shifted to at least neutral with the crappy changes.... But now this just sucks!!!!!!!!! I just got my first launcher FC EVER!!!! On my galaxy nexus.
No root, never flashed, been stock all the way on this phone just like any regular user. I used to root on my tmobile g2 but decided to keep my gnex all stock.
So what he hell!?!?! Force closing stock launcher!?!?!? Are you freaking kidding me?!? This update is turning into a total joke, its not funny google! Your pulling anAPPLE move on your most loyal customers(nexus customers!)
EDIT: this is a rant.. I was pissed at how badly 4.2 has screwed my phone up. But no i didnt mean the part about being as bad as apple..
I do think 4.2 sucks though. Especially compared to 4.1.2, in my experience they seemed to have sacrificed new features and "style" over stability with 4.2

"the camera is very laggy when rotating from landscape to portrait" --> Yes, this is extremely annoying.
And also I find that when the camera shot in landscape mode, about 10% of the upper and lower part of the viewfinder are cropped (i.e. the things you actually shot are more than what you saw in the camera app)
1). I don't have problem with phone call
2). Yes, launcher FCed! But only happened once after first reboot after flashing factory image.

No, just needed to rant
Plus the fc had just happened like 5min before i posted that. It was weird... I was browsing here on chrome, then pressed the home button and tried opening the launcher, and it got stuck loading for like 10sec... Then fc'd. Soo i tried again and it got stuck again and fc'd. Third time it finally worked.
I expect these things on rooted devices or custom launchers... But on stock its just sad, especially when it's never happened before the ota.

Flickering in Notification Bar

GNEX 4.2 default browser
Hi
Really hope someone can answer this for me, I've got a stock GNEX just got 4.2 by deleting my Google Services Framework cache and hitting update. Everything seems to be ok, but I still have the stock (blue icon) browser, I thought the default browser is chrome on 4.2. Also I don't seem to be able delete it, no biggie just annoying to have an app that I'm never going to use.
Anyway to remove it manually without rooting etc..
Many Thanks in advance to anyone that can answer this
Only issue I've noticed so far is the camera rotation is indeed very slow on my phone too.
Now, in 4.2, every notification makes my phone vibrate. This doesn't happen with earliers versions. I don't know if it is a "new feature", but I don't like it.

According to Google : Chrome is not part of the AOSP but for the new devices such as Nexus 4,7,10 it's the default browser but old devices like Galaxy Nexus i guess for now the default browser will be the Android Browser , who knows maybe with next major release of Android that will change
As for how to delete the default browser you need root privilege to delete the app apk from the system apps using something like Root Explorer
I had three soft reboots already since yesterday (at least that I noticed, maybe more while I wasn't looking). This is a clean install (flash_all.sh from the factory image).
To hell with it, I'm going back to my beloved CM10.

[Q] DISABLE audio controls on lockscreen

I'm running Vanilla Rootbox 4.0 ROM, but this has bugged me with other ROMs for quite some time. I guess when 4.1 or 4.2 came out, Android started making audio controls on lockscreen available. That's wonderful for people that want them, but I HATE them. I've searched off and on for months to find out how to turn them off and all I ever find is people saying how glad they are to have them. No one seems to want to disable them completely, as I do. Can anyone please help me? I want the lock screen to look exactly the same no matter what apps are running on my phone.
What music player are you using (I'm assuming stock?) I honestly haven't seen a way on how to remove the stock controls except by using another music player. I use PowerAmp and I never get the lockscreen controls.
Hope it helps

ANYTHING that plays sound does it. The stock music player, Pandora, Slacker Radio. Heck, even Mort Player (audiobooks) shows the controls when it's running.

Hmmm that's odd.
And you've looked thru all the settings in both apps and ROM settings right?
It might be hidden in there somewhere.
I'm on AoCP and I never get the controls

Boy I sure would be happy if it were that simple and I was just blind, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Closest thing I can see is in the AOKP settings (Rootbox is an AOKP and CM hybrid) for the lockscreen where it lists an option to control music volume with the volume keys from the lockscreen. This setting doesn't affect the widget though.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
I've been reading a bit about AoCP and I may just have to give it a run. I hate wiping my device and spending a whole day setting everything back up, but this issue is really irritating me and it seems like lots of people are very happy with AoCP.

Just use Tinanium Backup to make a flash able zip of all your apps or use the app alone to back up apps and data so that next time you flash it just takes you 3 minutes to set up everything

I've tried that and had it fail horribly on me in the past. The only time I've been able to restore backups made with TB has been when restoring to the same version ROM. A couple times I made a backup, flashed a completely different ROM, went to restore and was unable to. So I just don't even trust it anymore when it comes to flashing ROMs.
Question though since you're obviously knowledgeable about AoCP and I'm too much of a n00b to post in the AoCP thread. The thread says:
AoCP_I747_CP5.6 -dev host link
This is 3.4 kernel base and it is very stable
AoCP_I747_5.6-kernel -dev host link
Just so I'm clear here, do I need to install the top link AND THEN install the kernel link as well? I haven't messed with any ROMs where a separate kernel download was given, so I just want to be sure I don't cause more issues for myself.
Just download the ROM and gapps (which you should have if you've ran any 4.2.2 ROMs )
No extra steps or anything
5.6 should be the release right now.
There is more goodies coming really soon
But the dev.host link should be it

Thanks jayRokk. I got AoCP installed without issue. Not a bad ROM, though I prefer Rootbox better. Too many extras I've gotten used to, I guess. The bigger issue, however, is that I had the same issue with AoCP. The stock music app did not show any controls on the lock screen, but everything else did. I did a complete wipe before flashing and cleared davlik both before and after flashing, so I'm positive it's not some weird setting I have somewhere that's managed to carry over from ROM to ROM.
I am 100% with you on this. I hate the lock screen controls and can not find a single thread about deleting them. I'll watch this thread and let you know if I find anything.

Widget locker disables the notification bar when locked.... you do have to buy it though... I tried it and does work.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&hl=en
I don't want to disable the notification bar thou. I don't even want to disable all lock screen widgets just the music controls. I love dashclock. That's what I want of my default lock screen. If the music controls could even be moved to a second lock screen like the camera that would be awesome. I guess I should say I'm on CM. I have no idea how touchwiz handles these things.

Exactly this. While I certainly appreciate the responses from everyone trying to help, the idea of spending $3.00 on a 3rd party app just to fix what, IMO, is a pretty major oversight (just give me a setting in a menu to enable/disable it) is a very hard pill to swallow. I currently use Lockscreen Policy to disable the camera and all secondary widget screens. I've emailed the developer to see if they could add the ability to disable the music controls as well, but haven't heard anything back. ALL I want on my lock screen is time, date, battery and next alarm, which the stock locker and dashclock give me. If only I could disable the $%^#@ audio controls!
