Hey guys, something has really bothered me lately. The whole OS is so smooth and all, but everytime I leave an app or leave the app drawer then opening it again has a very nasty lag that is a very big turn off. I searched for this issue and saw that I wasnt the only one who had this problem.
Here is the same lag on the Nexus 7:

and on the Galaxy Nexus:

Could anyone tell me how to why this issue is found on Jelly Bean and how to fix it? I'm on stock 4.1.1 btw.
get apex launcher and turn off the app drawer fly in animation.
i noticed this too,but only in the first page of the app drawer...

Dude, how can you even count that as lag? I run Ubuntu 12 on my laptop and it lags like ****. I run Windows 7 on a high-end desktop.. it lags like **** sometimes. There is seriously about 0.1ms of lag there, get over it.
Does it bother you that it takes several seconds for your web browser to open XDA? "Damnit, this bothers me!!! The interwebz LAGS!!!"
At first I thought you were running ics which does have lag, then I saw the nexus 7 video. I watched it and started laughing my ass off, there's not even a slight bit of lag in that. And my device doesn't lag neither.

Maybe my eyes are lagging, I missed it.
I can't believe people are so obsessed with micro lag that is not even visible to 80% of people. Suck it up already, no need to tell the whole world about how your app drawer launches 0.1 mill second slower. Its not the end of the world.

My suggestion is to have yourself cryogenically frozen. We will wake you up one day in the future when all lag has been eliminated! :cyclops:

Yes, but not when opening the drawer, but switching to the next page.
And I wouldn't call it laggy, it just reacts with delay to the swipe. The swipe itself is perfectly smooth.
SMH.
I saw it!
Oh, no wait, I didn't. You crazy, bro.
Have you tried setting window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animator duration scale in settings --> developer settings to 0.5x or 0x at all?
I know exactly what you're talking about, so don't worry about everyone else. Unfortunately I don't have a fix for it either.

Even that lag is nonexistent if you wait a split second to scroll after opening the drawer. It's called the launcher has to populate the apps and widgets on first launch/scroll. If you launch the drawer and go for the first scroll "as fast as you possibly can" then you're just purposely looking for a microsecond of lag to complain about.

It has to do with the animation speed mostly. You can adjust that in developer options.

I'm pretty surprised to see people saying that they have not experienced it. It's one of the worst bugs with the phone and lots of people are experiencing it:

I'm on 4.0.3. Maybe that is why.
yeah I know that problem. experienced it mainly allot in the browser
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
If you need to tap the phone to get the accelerometer to work, then it's probably faulty and you should ask fro an exchange/repair.
But if you are just experiencing a small delay, that's apparently a feature in ICS to prevent accidental rotation. At first I found it incredibly annoying but it actually works in preventing unwanted rotations.
Galaxy Nexus CDMA stock 4.02 here. It has definitely been a problem for me. It takes a good 2+3 full seconds to rotate for me. Lucky for me i spend 90% of my time in portrait.
VZW GN and yeah I got the same thing. Its really annoying but I cant tell if its more or less annoying than having the screen accidentally rotate...
Either way this should be something we can control in the developer options, like give us a time delay before screen will rotate.
Is anyone able to reproduce lag in Apex launcher by repeatedly going in and out of the app drawer a few times? It has done that for me on every single version and is the only reason I go back to Nova. I emailed the dev and he told me to download the latest version...I was offended.

Works great for me. It is a phone, not a gaming rig. I've actually noticed more lag on nova. On apex, it only lags if I repeatedly go in and out of the app drawer a bunch of times...which isn't practical

That's the only way I am able to reproduce it over and over (which should be easily fixable) but it does it randomly when I'm in the app drawer too. The only time Nova lags for me is in the app drawer also when I'm swiping through it really fast but in Apex the lag lasts for like 15 seconds making my phone unusable.

Hi guys. So, now when we have Jelly Bean and all things are really smooth, what's the slowest/most lagging app on your phone?
Ironically for me it's the official XDA app.
XDA app stutters like crazy. Surprisingly, Facebook is really smooth.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
the youtube app is the slowest to open (1-2 sec after u tap the icon) , whereas other apps mostly open instantly.
as for lags and stutters well there is a big list of such apps, xda is definitively one of them
I am the slowest thing on my phone - everything else - super fast.

Netflix is still laggy when I open it, but that's not the phone's fault. Everything else seems to be up to par.

Do you exit from apps with back button? For the first time it relly takes about two seconds, but later it loads instantly if i exit from app with home button.
Power Amp is the slowest to open on my phone, but once I'm in, it's fast.

Does anyone have App Drawer lag? if you leave the app drawer long enough and don't use it, then when it comes to using it and you open it, does it lag a tiny bit for the first swipe?
I don't know if it's just me getting that but it's random and looks like it's sticky or something.

What launcher you're using? I use Nova launcher and it's buttery smooth. Also lag could be caused by inproper CPU speed/governor settings.
I am using apex launcher and its very smooth.no lags or something.
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 2
the lag I notice most is loading the dialer, idk if its really "lag", but its not as instant loading as messages lol
Its well known that iOS is known for their almost lagless software. Android has had lag issues in the past and tries to remedy this by improving CPU and size of RAm. But i still sense lag when opening programs sometimes or unlocking my screen or even refreshing a weather widget. Galaxy S3 is supposed to be one of if not the fastest android phones available but still suffers from some of the same problems that the G1 had. O well...i guess google has to stick with the framework they've already written. It'd be nice though if there was an app that measured lag. I know there're several benchmarking apps that measure overall speed but are they any that measure response time of a phone? An app that maybe runs several processes in the background and asks the user to touch the screen. Maybe type a few words using the keyboard or open and close a folder or two...
What apps are you having issues with, exactly? What firmware are you running?
Hate to admit it but I notice lag all over this phone on TW opening messaging unlocking the phone and stuff, on AOKP no lag what so ever. I don't think its Googles doings or code. More so the carriers and Manufacturers that make these phones full of bloatware and their own code.

Unless im mistaken ios seems more 'lag free' simply because it will only run one thing at a time, it cant multitask.
Android can run multiple apps at once.
If android was coded with the same limitation as ios it would certainly feel even faster.

Not apps really...home button lag. Wake/unlock lag... honestly if my phone can play music while i run a game/ browser, im fine with not multitasking.
If you have an ipod touch or iphone, you'll notice that if you try to load a webpage while continuously touching the screen, the page won't load!! Its using almost of its cpu on screen sensors which equals no lag!
For home button lag, double press home then in svoice go to settings and uncheck open with double home press (or something like that)
The lag is because it is waiting to see if you are single or double pressing the button.

Google Now was very slow on my Galaxy Nexus, I've tried everything. Today I was playing around with custom launchers and dpi settings and voila I found a fix. It works for me but hopefully it should work for you. If you are using a custom launcher, make sure "Persistent Search Bar" is set to always. I've disabled this since the ICS days as I've only wanted a search bar on one screen, so I assume a lot of you have as well.
I set this to on and Google Now is flying. Almost instant.
hmmmm interesting....i din think that would b the reason...thx
I see no reason that would have any affect on Google Now.
I was surprised at first too. I spread this fix on a different forum and about 20 people or so have confirmed that it made a difference for them.

That makes sense it keeps Google search in the back ground. Google now is Google Search

Correction. Doesn't affect Google now. I m on rasbean. G.now used to load in about 1.5 sec,still takes the same time. If I keep g.now off,search loaded in 0.5s from swipe up. Same with this.
THIS. IS. NEXUS.
I'm running Liquid JB with Nova Launcher.
I did noticed the HUGE slow down, as it would almost take a good 10-15 seconds for GN to fully load up.. And even then the voice search was horribly slow.
Just tired this little tidbit and it works like a charm now.
Yeah, dingokevin's got the right idea.
Having the "persistent search bar" basically keeps the QuickSearchBox.apk in the background memory. Google Now is run off of that same .apk, so it is also run in the background. The search bar in the launcher is an app that has to be called by the launcher, and thus keeping the search bar keeps Google Now.
Unfortunately, I'd like to find a way to do this without the search bar. I feel it ruins the look of the desktop.
Great find! I've been battling this problem for a long time. I'm using paranoid android running nova launcher. Thanks!!! This fix should be stickied!!
