Google+ makes the phone oh so laggy

I just updated Google + and the app is full of eye, looks awesome, too bad no one is really using it, the thing is now the scrolling, lags and stutters :/ maybe the update is not really optimized or maybe its the galaxy nexus gpu that can't handle it

no one is using it?? maybe you need to add friends to it. anyways, do you have instant upload on? it might make your phone laggy if its uploading many photos on a bad data connection.

Hmmmm. Its very smooth for me. I love the fade in animation when scrolling.

Why are all Galaxy Nexus owners complaining about lag?
It looks like every time you guys find a game/app where the FPS drops below 50 fps you guys start nagging.
I owned a HTC Wildfire before, that device lags. A lot. Now I own the Nexus, everything is running smooth.
Yes, I actually see that the FPS drops below the 50 fps for 1 sec once in a while. I don't give a **** about that. You're supposed to READ all/most of the posts in your stream, not to try to scroll as fast as possible to find some lag.
The scroll animation only is useful if you scroll slowly, because you can't read the posts when you scroll to fast. Like I said, the Google+ app is for READING those posts, not for flying though the list.
You guys should enjoy your awesome Galaxy Nexus, and stop complaining about minor issues.

Smooth here too.

No problems here either. It's been running pretty smoothly since I did the update.

Scrolling down is smooth. Scrolling up stutters.

Smooth here too. Loving the new interface.

An update was just pushed to the market. Try that. Mine is smooth.

Mine lags as well. That said. I had to replace my first GooglePlay purchased Galaxy Nexus because half the screen was purple tinted. My first one never lagged at all. My replacement did right out the box and updated. So I did a factory data reset as a I figured it might have been a bad install. Still did it, so once more another factory data reset. Same issue persisted. So I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the factory images from Google via fastboot, still I have the same problem.
Other then the stuttering and lag from time to time its fine (the whole OS in general not just the new Google+ UI overhaul). I'm planning on calling the Play Store again to try and exchange my phone again. I actually think there is something wrong with it but I cannot be sure. Otherwise this is an amazing phone and I never complain about it. After having my Nexus S receive a corrupted efs with the factory 2.3.4 update which rendered the cellular service pretty much useless I can't complain really.

I think that's your problem. I know there are many games that don't work on AOSP because the drivers aren't fully functional or optimized.

Just a quick observation here.
This is a forum made up of people that enjoy their epic 4g touch. When you start a thread called "This phone really does suck!!!!" You might not get a lot of help. Now put your phone down and go outside and play!

The huge problem with nothing ever being good enough is you'll never be happy. Take your phone for what it is instead playing the "find some flaws" game with yourself...there is no perfect phone (if there was, there would only be one phone), if you get a new phone you'll find something about it to complain about just like your current phone...

[Q]Chainfire 3D in JB.

Hello everyone!
I'm with JB installed on my GN, but every time I try to install the 3D chainfire (PRO version 3.3), it goes into infinite boot, and I have to flash to new rom.
Anyone with this same problem? Already have a solution?
Thank you.

same here. anyone?

Needs to be updated.... It's more than likely not compatible with jelly bean yet.

It wasn't even fully compatible with ICS, let alone JB...

The chainfire spell doesnt seem to effect jelly beans.

No, it was not fully compatible with ICS. There were features that didn't work, e.g., night mode, etc. Chainfire mentioned he was working on it months ago, but I guess it was never finished.
If he hasn't fully fixed it for ICS, I doubt he'll have it fixed for JB.

So back to Jelly bean stock no biggie to fix... but should really be marked incompatible in the google play store. Hopefully Chainfire can get round to updating in his spare time.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

How to get the butter back:
1) Download the last stable 4.1.2 rom of your choice
2) Do a factory reset with TWRP
3) Wipe the buggy 4.2.1 rom using TWRP
4) Flash 4.1.2 back in.
5) Enjoy butter while waiting for 4.2.2 or later builds which is probably coming in January due to the holidays.
Was that so hard?

Or just flash the official 4.2.1. I run stock, rooted and have no problems. I tried a few roms based of 4.2.1 and they were slow and laggy.

This reminds me of the "zero shutter lag" feature that was removed from the Gnex, or selling a 8GB device just to say it "starts at $299." It's just something fancy for them to advertise and get some hype/sales, then they remove it. This is standard procedure by now, right?

Butter is not gone, 4.2 is definitely smoother than ICS and on par with 4.1 and it seems to have much less stutter than 4.1 did
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I can confirm that 4.2.1 stock seems really fast to me.
I have to say that I'm a new GNex user, coming from a Nexus S with 4.1.2. I was using rasbeanjelly with an optimised kernel: there were obviously some lags, time to time.

Noone can tell you exactly what, but the general trend is, that the OTA caused various problems for some, so when some people don't have problems on the same SW, the problem can only be located to something stored on the data partition because of the update process compared to a full wipe.
So the answer is simple, you do a full wipe and install the factory image of 4.2(.1) directly. If this doesn't solve it, it isn't a software problem...
And yes my phone is no less fluid than it was on 4.1, Í, however, updated as descriped with a clean install.

1. No that is a general misconception, what was really the case, was a regular code error(zero-index error), making the last row in the array holding the months being skipped. You can't blame them for not spotting this small error in the very limited testing they can do in house. I for one have never used that particular feature and didn't know you could add birthdays until this was discovered. What really matters is that it was fixed within weeks.
2. How? Everything seems to be branded as play store quite fine, whether you like the name or not shouldn't matter
3. why wouldn't they promote the chrome brand and make it easier for users to sync everything between their desktop and phone?

In a direct comparison,i still think 4.1.2 is a bit more fluid overall (app drawer for example,let alone recent apps list). That together with all the other stuff going on (screen switches on,blutooth, worse battery - for me at least) led me to go back and stay to 4.1.2. Not a single problem and constant ~4h on screen time. I can easily wait for a bugfix update next year.
