GN Screen occasionally becomes less responsive - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have had a GSM Galaxy Nexus for quite a while. I've had Stock ICS on it, as well as many different non-stock ICS and JB ROMs running on it.
I've noticed that, from time to time, the screen will become considerably less responsive than it usually is. I usually notice when trying to swipe down the Notification Window. I will have to swipe several times to get it to actually work, when it usually works every time, easily. If I swipe slower and apply more pressure, it works. Also, typing on the on-screen keyboard when this issue is occurring is a disaster. The system misses about a third of my touches, and mistypes every word practically.
If I reboot or wait a while, it goes away. I've been trying to shut down various often-used apps while it's occuring to see if I can remedy the issue, but so far I haven't found an app that might be causing the problem.
Anyone else have this issue? It's so noticeable for me that I can try to do the usual motion I do to bring down the Notification Window over 10 times before it will actually respond.
It's either something basic with Android, or my hardware has a little bug. Not sure which.
I see a few posts on the forums of other phones about this, but not on here with the Galaxy Nexus.

I'm having the exact same issues. Its also very noticeable in the keyboard as well. Sometimes in the app drawer. Its extremely obnoxious and only seems to do it on jelly bean Roms... may I ask what kernel you're running? I'm on Franco 223 384mhz gpu

hey man, i've noticed this same thing on mine running Jb (joel's bamf jelly)...i notice it when typing, though. a lot of times i just completely MISS keystrokes, and my words come out all ****ed up. i honestly was starting to think i'm crazy, but i'm glad to see others with JB are having this issue! again, if i reboot as well, it goes away. wtf?
i'm running whatever kernel joel has stock in hsi rom, which i beleive is just the stock JB kernel.

Exactly same issue here, but simply turning screen off and back on solves it. No need to reboot.

Running one of the early loads of 4.1.1 that required you to load 4.1, then overlay 4.1.1 over it to get get camera working properly. But it's stock minus being rooted/busybox loaded on it. Running the stock kernel with the JB baseband that released, btw.
Before that I was running AOKP and CM9, both of which did the same thing to me - which is what made me think it was an app that was interfering, but I haven't been able to prove that.

Search my thread called touch sensitivity, I wrote all about this. Its an annoying bug that has no fix. Lock then unlock the screen resets it and makes it return to normal. But it eventually happens again.

I also had this issue, and as someone said earlier, just switching the screen off and then back on fixes it for a while. But I recently updated my baseband to XXLF1 (yes, I'm from Europe) and switched to AndroidME CM10 Rom and the issue is gone (had been using the one from team inferno before). Don't know if it was the Rom or the radio...

Since alot of users are saying it was non existent in 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 was wondering if someone could look into the touchscreen drivers?maybe there is a glitch.btw sometimes it would not appear for a day

Yes, that's a good point to start.

I originally thought this issue was due to a kernel malfunction, but looking at the replies here, apparently not. I don't remember it happening on ICS at all, but with jelly bean and project butter being so smooth and all, I have recently become much more attentive to the responsiveness of my screen so it's much more noticeable. I guess the best thing to do is try different Roms and see if the problem persists.

Well, as stated above, CM10 seems to eliminate this problem completely. I just flashed a CM10 ROM and man is there a difference. It is extremely smooth and battery life seems significantly better than others ROMs on jelly bean right now. I highly suggest giving it a go. I upgraded my cwm recovery to 6.0.Something too. Dunno if that's relevant, but just thought I'd say.

Are you using the euroskank one? If yes then thats what im using too and still have this problem tho not worse than others, my keyboard works properly.just that my scrolling and swiping tightens up a bit which forces you to swipe longer and more pressure than normal

Did you find anything fix the sensitivity issue? It's super annoying. Screen off and back on fixes it temporarily.

I had this issue on 4.0.4 with the Linaro franco kernel and am now having it with JB and the Linaro franco kernel. I too thought it was just maybe my imagination!

[Q] App Lag, Choppy Scrolling, Slow Loading Apps... Anyone else?

Hi All,
I have had my GSM GNEX for almost a month now and have already suffered from the weird bug of loosing signal for no reason after flashing any 4.0.3+ AOSP ROM ( I have a thread dedicated to this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487239 ) and I have to say that after using it for a while now, the performance is NOT what I was expecting.
Apps take WAY longer to load on my GNEX then they do on my SGSII both on H Data and on WIFI. Apps include Facebook, XDA Premium, etc...
Scrolling within these same (or any other) apps is very laggy and choppy compared to my SGSII and just general response of the apps is quite laggy compared to the same apps on my SGSII and again this is using both H Data or WIFI.
Has anyone else noticed this at all? If you think it may be ROM based then please see my signature for info.
Does this / Could this have anything to do with the "Force 2G rendering" option in the settings menu? I have not had it turned on since I got my GNEX...
Thanks...
I think you're experiencing the same compare/contrast that I am vs the SGSII. I think it comes down to the gpu (potential cpu as well) influence. My first impressions are that I'll get lag + choppiness when multitasking +/- what those tasks might be.
Also, widgets in the app drawer, forget about it, various kernels and ROMs and drawer lag is typically there with widgets in the drawer for me, at least from a "cold start".
That said, I'm much happier with my GN that I am with my I9100 despite the apparent hw advantages of the I9100.

Thanks for the reply... I don't have any widgets in my drawer nor do I really have many apps running simultaneously as I'm a bit OCD when it comes to closing apps that I am not using. I have turned on the "Force 2G rendering" option and it SEEMS to have made a SLIGHT difference (at least in my mind... lol).
Also... have you (or anyone) also noticed that the colours / screen on the GNEX just don't "POP" like they do on the SGSII? My colours (compared to my SGSII) just seem very "blah". Could this be due to the fact that the SGSII is SAMOLED + and the GNEX is only SAMOLED? Would it really make THAT much of a difference? Does the option on the SGSII for Standard, Dynamic and Movie really make that much of a difference?
I dont know could be causing this, but mine seems smooth like always. Maybe the SGS2 is just that much better? I dont use 2d rendering either as for me that makes thing laggy and choppy.
I'm using Leankernel 2.2 now and smoothness is great; it's posted in the CDMA dev forum, but is compatible with GSM as well.

That's the other thing about MY GNEX though. As I said... I had the weird bug with my device after flashing any AOSP 4.0.3+ ROM where I would randomly just lose signal ALL TOGETHER making the phone pretty much useless and the ONLY thing that I found that fixed the issue was using the FuGuMod Kernel so I am scared to try any other kernels.
Take a look at the link I posted in my first post for more info. Others have also experienced this bug(?).
Re: signal drop.
I haven't experienced it yet, although I only purchased the phone on Sunday, it was 4.0.3 20 minutes after buying however.

Mine was flashed to 4.0.3 too almost as quickly and the strange thing is that on Stock 4.0.1 AND on ARHD 4.0.2 ROMS the signal would not drop with the stock OR ROM included Kernels but as soon as I flashed to 4.0.3 the signal would drop like every 5 minutes and the only thing that fixed it was using the FuGuMod Kernel. I am using the UGKL1 radio as well since I am here in Canada and yes... I have tried like ALL the other radios and so far the UGKL1 seems to be the best.

I have to say that kernel is not responsible for signal loss it is your modem . You should also understand that flashing a rom can't change your modem, only if u flash it manually . So I advice you to visit modem collection topic and try several , the efficiency depends on mobile network you use , so I can't name the best for you. As for me UGKK7 works better than others .

Speaking about choppiness and lag ... I tried almost all kernels and roms and my verdict for performance hungry : use MoDaCo + Franco kernel 13 .1 or AOKP with the kernel mentioned above . You will be very impressed . But pay attention 13.1 version of kernel not the latest cuz this one is rock stable and very very smooth like nothing else

I know it sounds silly that a kernel seemed to fix the signal drop issue as I thought it was weird as well but if you look at my thread (link is in my first post) you will see that it is not ONLY me who has fixed this issue by using the FuGuMod Kernel. There are about 10 others who have posted the same success and some who have posted that OTHER Kernel/Radio/ROM combos have fixed their issues as well when NOTHING ELSE had worked.
In your case, I would go to the Samsung website, and download the stock firmware, and stick with that, just root it, and flash recovery (if it get's erased)
Then check if your problem maintains, if it does, relock bootloader, and send it back to Samsung (warranty) if not, then it's the ROM and/or kernel you had installed with the AOKP ROM...

I have a nandroid backup of my stock ROM rooted and with CWM and like I said... I do not lose connection while on stock ROM which for me is 4.0.1
I only started losing signal when I flashed ANY aosp 4.0.3+ ROMs until I flashed the FuGuMod Kernel which seems to have fixed the signal loss issue so unfortunately...
Sending it to Samsung for warranty wont do any good cause on stock there is no issue and if I send it back while on a custom ROM they will void my warranty so I'm kinda hooped either way...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM LAG when scrolling and texting?

Well, I've had my phone for a little over a week and I'm realizing lag when scrolling in the app drawer. its not extremely laggy, but its just not super smooth. When I also text really fast it also lags which is really hard to type. I turned of auto correction I think it fixed the problem, but I'm not 100%. Anyone of you experiencing this?
Oh forgot to mention do you guys hear static when you have the volume really high?
I don't have this issue but I am also using the force gpu rendering option. Everything is smooth and fast.

Yeah, if i scroll really fast during the app drawer i notice lag, a little choppy lag, for most people many might not notice it. But I do, i think because i'm so used to my 120hz monitor when I used a 60hz monitor I notice just by moving around a window. I might be picky, but there is lag without a doubt in this phone or atleast my phone.

i already did it. i don't notice an improvement.
Different roms behave differently. Mine was pretty smooth but I've noticed lag on APW scrollable Widgets and flicking through the XDA on several roms. 4.0.3 helped but didn't fix.
Now I'm running Axi0m rom now which is 4.0.4 and there is no lag anymore. Much faster. I'm not over clocking or anything outside of the stock settings for that rom.
So I don't know if its 4.0.4 or the kernel/rom combination, but its a welcome addition. It uses Franco's kernel so maybe it was fixed there?
I DONT have Force 2D enabled either. FYI. Realistic answer.

Don't listen to people telling to "Force GPU rendering", they don't know what they're talking about (Launcher2 already uses GPU rendering).
The slight stuttering when scrolling the app drawer is a known bug, reportedly fixed in firmware > 4.0.2 and it also didn't seem to happen in 4.0.1.

^^^^ This.
Wth is with ppl saying to force gpu rendering, it only works in apps that don't make use of gpu rendering.
The UI in ICS is rendered completely by the gpu so checking/unchecking that option does NOTHING to the UI.
That myth needed to be put to bed.

You guys seem to know your game so how come it still lags in 4.0.3?
for some weaird reason it seems to be stable for me right now... I did check force gpu and 4.0.4 since it's unoffical there isnt any real fast roms for 4.0.4 thanks guys!
The first thing I do after a fresh ROM flash is change the animation scales to 0 in Settings>Development>window+transition animations. I also disable app drawer in/out animations in my launcher settings. The stock ICS animations are fairly obnoxious and much more pronounced than the GB animations. I do the same on my I9100 on CM9. Look at it this way, animations are wasted time, if they're a little over the top then it's more wasted time + more work. My GN is as smooth as my I9100 throughout its life; stock, modded stock, CM7, and CM9.

If you go to nexus s forums you will see that a guy did benchmarks on all the roms available andstock 4.0.4 was the fastest, in fact the top 5 has 4 4.0.4 based roms.

I actually like it animations off.
So I am guessing we all are seeing delays in animations which look like lag? it so so much smoother right now. Will report later on.

[Q] Ridiclously slow!

Hi,
My GN was fine when I purchased it a month ago, brand new, but its so sluggish that its almost unusable. Phone dialer, Messaging and almost all apps load with a 3-5 second delay, even the keyboard opens after a few seconds.
I'm on stock 4.2.1 (deodexed) and even flashed fugumod kernel just today hoping it would fix things, I even factory reset it but no joy.
Could it be a hardware issue? is there any way I could run some quick tests to see whats wrong?
A similar thing happened to me when I decided to try a new kernel I've never used before, and it did not agree with my phone. Try a different kernel like lean kernel or Franco kernel and see if it still happens. If so, go back to stock.

I was on stock, then tried FuguMod, but it still lags, not as much as before but pretty slow.

SOD on Galaxy Nexus JOP40D

Hi All. I've been getting random screen of deaths on my gnex on 4.2.1.
On xylon, aokp mr1 build 1, cm10.1 m1, even on stock JPO40D. I'm having a hair pull moment here.
And it happens at odd moments too.. while browsing, using maps, pulling down notifications, playing bubble blast, watching dailymotion, etc..
Even on different kernels.. stock, anarky, franco, lean...
Is this happening to anyone else?
Can anyone shed some light my way?
Edit: sorry for posting in the wrong section. overlooked that we had a Q&A
Sent from my maguro gnex using Tapatalk 2
4.2.1 is a hit or miss, for some ppl its great while others are having issues with it... if you are getting SODs on ALL kernels then i recommend you go back to 4.1.2 and wait for 4.2.2 to be released and hope that it fixes all the issues that 4.2.1 had
PS- question are supposed to posted in the Q&A section not in the general section
I am one of the miss guys. It happens to me when I run a kernel control app ie. Francos, trip trickster, and even built in and certain kernels. If I keep the stock kernel with no kernel controls I get no sods. Some kernels I can use as long as I don't use any of the control apps. It took me a month or so of installing and uninstalling apps, kernels and so on to narrow it down. But ya you are rite hopefully 4.2.2 will fix the GPS and sod problems
sent from a paranoid galaxy
Thread moved
one of the reasons why i went back to stock 4.1.2 with leankernel (slightly stock modified, not 1million tricks on it), and that i got a really good battery life.
i dont miss lot of features of 4.2.. so i can wait a fix on a future update without any impatience
I also am fine on 4.2 as long as I run either a stock or a stock cm kernel. I tried a couple of others and they both resulted in sods.
Do you have animations turned off? Known bug that the animator duration set to off causes sod.

4.2.2 The bad

Well all things were fine on 4.2.1 and then this update comes,
This is what i noticed so far,
1.Phone is EXTREMELY laggy when downloading from play store
2.Browser quick controls are bugged
3.Lots of launcher crashes
4.Alarm icon in the notification disappears while it's still active
5.Random lag spikes while navigating in de drawer or homescreen,
As far as i go, this is the laggiest jelly bean version, maybe google just got lazy, or they're working on another version of Android (fingers crossed)
EDIT: I'm not talking about custom roms and such, and i'm not willing to flash, i like stock

First:
Do a full wipe!
Flash STOCK ANDROID JB 4.2.2 (I mean stock, and not CWM flashable stock ROMs with root..)

1. Use a custom kernel and tweak the read ahead buffer size. With sio io scheduler and 256k buffer size i made the lag minimal for me.
3+5 : use nova launcher and it will be fine
4: it works fine here, make sure you do clean installs.
As a last advice I must say to flash the factory image via fastboot. It is absolutely fine with no issues. I installed it on 2 gnex' already and no problems with lag.

Stock android is far away from perfect now. JDQ39 is nowhere near rock stable JZO54K. My friend. Scrolling lag is not the matter of clean installation. I've tested five 4.2.2 based roms, including stock all of them lags as hell after a while - it can be one or two days or couple of hours. Actually it's been the most evident of stock and it concerns scrolling between homescreens, lockscreens, recents. A lot of people have experienced it and it's been already reported to google issue tracker. I've already tested stock, cm10.1 m2, PA 3.1 0309, XenonHD 6.0 - all of them lags after a while. At the moment I am testing Purity and I haven's seen lag for two days.
Te easiest way to reproduce the bug. Please do not reboot your devices, and do not change wallpapers for about two days.
Same here, on CM10.1 Play Store is now smooth but was bad on XenonHD.

No. Your problem is more than likely the former.

Well I don't understand where do you see the lags. Because I don't have any lags on my nexus.
The speed also depends what kernel you are using and how much free Memory you have on your nexus..
I'm using my own ROM which is based of stock Android ROM and I have actually never experienced any lags.
Yesterday I got few apps after using apple's BT mouse and when I set up multi users.. But all the lags went away when I rebooted.

How do I do this?
Not sure if this has been discussed or not I searched and found many bugs but none that meet this specific issue.. I noticed that since I updated to the 4.2.2 leak on my Toro Nexus there have been a few issues:
Audio from the pogo pin dock stopped working.
Car mode goes off and on randomly as well as the charging bolt when the phone should be charging.
Phone goes into daydream mode even when not being charged..
Turning on bluetooth randomly reboots the phone on occasion and other random bugs.
I think I'm going to flash back to the previous OTA. I'm stock unlocked, unrooted, just the way I like my Nexus (for now). In no way is this a complaint, more my observations and a last shot in the dark to see if anyone has overcome these issues in the latest leaked "OTA."
On a side note, other than the dock and power issues, everything has been smooth. No lag etc...

Ok so I realize I don't know how to do this without resetting all data. From what I've read, the only way back includes wiping all data. Am I wrong? Is there a way for me to go back without wiping? I'm not super versed in all things Android but I think I recall flashing back to a previous OTA in the past to get another OTA to work without wiping. I can't find that thread anywhere so I'm probably mistaken. Any help?
Edit: I re-read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 and determined that it can be done without wiping for folks that aren't noobs. I consider myself a noob at this point so I'm stuck with this 4.2.2 update until I find an easier way.

It's the same as flashing a rom! Use Titanium backup to backup the apps, and custom recovery to wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. Format /system, /data, /cache , and downgrade with the toolkit w/o format when it ask. So for less than an hour you will downgrade, and keep music, videos and photos. So the only thing you lose is programs, but you can restore them whit titanium, and that is!

Lags what I am talking about is low fps scrolling that appears after some time of normal usage. I've never experienced it on 4.1.2 or 4.2.1. It has nothing to do with the kernel. (BTW aren't we talkin about the stock one?) Problem is still present on custom kernels and even OCed CPU. It looks rather like some sort of memory leak. Reboot or changing wallpaper is a workaround solution for this issue. So yeah if you reboot your device quite often you most probably won't see this bug.
If you want to read more about this issue visit this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178962
Except this bug I really like the 4.2.2 rom, these new features. I consider it as an improvement from 4.2.1.
I agree, 4.1.2 was polished more. 4.2.2 is better then the initial 4.2 release, but still has a way to go. We'll see what IO brings soon.

Ok.. Hmmm.....
Are you using custom kernel?
And which apps are running in background? E.g. Currents, Google+. FB...
And if you use custom kernel then make sure you use CPU governor that doesn't make Android slower or laggier..
I have actually never had any lags on my Nexus, I use 100% stock kernel, sometimes CM's kernel. I have free memory 2,10 GB of 13 GB (16GB GNex)..
Also I recommend to use some cleaner apps to delete unnecessary files..
For cleaning a bit my Nexus I use "Mobile Care" on Windows it is "ASC"
Which deletes e.g. Cache and junk files..
