After updating to the newest version of Google+ (v. 3.2.0) from Google Play I've noticed about 0,5 sec lagg when scrolling up and down through the threads. Browsing through this app in not buttery smooth for sure. I am using stock Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1 Jelly Bean yakju version. I even reverted back my phone to factory settings to see if it helps - no change.
Do you guys experience the same problem. Any suggestions?
Same here on stock 4.1.2 with a relatively small set of apps. Not as much as laggy but choppy is how I would describe it

I enabled gpu rendering in developer settings but it didn't help at all.
I think it must be application issue itself and we need to wait for solid upgrade. I personally think that I am only pemanent beta test mouse for Google Inc.
Lag has gotten bad enough for me that I've stop using it. Results used to be near instant and now 8 secs min.

Laggy as hell and since the latest update, it isn't displaying the "nearby" post appropriately.
Some users reported same problem on iOS either.

The Galaxy Nexus is my first Nexus and out of all the Android devices I had it is my favorite. For the most part I have no complaints. But from time to time when typing my keyboard lags behind. Sometimes really bad. I don't know if its something I have downloaded or not. I am unlocked/rooted but using stock 4.02.
I know without doubt there's no way at all I should have to overclock my device to get it to not lag while typing. Or switch to another ROM. I'm just wondering if its just my device or do others running stock 4.02 sometimes have lag while typing.

It's a known issue. The only time it happens to me is if I type in landscape. Hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming version.
Go to Settings > Language & Input > uncheck "Spelling Corrections" at the top. No more lag . Also, you will still have spell checking enabled.
Try using swype. It's AH-Mazing, and free. Or even SwiftKeyX
Thanks everyone for the info. You gave a couple good ideas I look forward to trying.
The good way outweighs the bad with this device without doubt.

This is resolved in 4.0.3+
Anyone else experincing the keyboard stutter when trying to type fast. Even after adding android keyboard from 4.2 it still feels sluggish. Not at all as sprinty as on my GS3. Almost seems as if typing slows the whole system down.

Lowering the vibration setting seems to help as well. Interesting.

Weird. I'm using the stock LG keyboard and haven't had any slowdown. I'm planning on trying the 4.2 keyboard and maybe Swype beta soon.

Yeah let me know. Its real random, I had this problem with swiftkey on my GS3 ... 4.2 keyboard is working the best. Have vibration set at 20 and disabled lg spell checker. It actually seems to be improving a tad the more I type. Has me baffled.

I had the same problems. The firmware update fixed my problem quite well. Keyboard is very fluent and smooth now.
Hello does any one else found the 4.2 version very slow on GNexus? Every time when im closing an app with the back button or the menu it takes time to show my home or my menu. Also is very slow when browsing the apps

Nope, works fine for me.
Nope. Not very. Just a bit laggy.
I see that UI on 4.2 is not so fast as it was on 4.1.2, but some apps (e.g. chrome) works a bit faster.
So, yep - I'm happy with the update.

People who aren't having speed issues: Can you test a couple of scenarios I've noticed in particular?
1) In the new gmail: tap on the account switching area at the top. This loads far slower for me with the new app
2) Put your phone to sleep or wake it up. Sleep/wake seems quite a bit less responsive in 4.2 on both of the stock phones I've tested.

Disable all animations in developers options and screen off animation will be less noticeable.

i made i wipe cache and now is working fine. thanks a lot
No. 4.2 is just as fast as 4.1.2 on my GNex... which was fast whether I use the stock UI or Apex Launcher. Granted there is an initial sluggishness during the initial boot from services loading in the background... but after that my GNex is smooth and fast.
Those of you experiencing slow speeds: Try flashing the factory image from Google. I had one app that didn't work properly and a flash to factory stock and re-root fixed the problem. It's possible you have an app running in the background eating up resources too.
I understand these threads and posts must be annoying to those who aren't having issues, but to people like me, who OTAed a bone stock phone and are left with a less-than-satisfactory experience, it is equally frustrating. Especially considering how many improvements were made with 4.1-4.1.2, which have now been rendered moot.
I guess my only recourse is to wipe and flash stock, but because I'm not rooted and don't have any backups, it'll be fun to rebuild my phone.

Turn off that live wallpaper! JK hopefully that isnt the case...
Each Android iteration on the GN has gotten smoother for me. 4.2 is pretty amazing out of the box, much like 4.1 was when compared to 4.0.3/.4. The GN is definitely not lacking when it comes to having what it takes for 4.2.
4.2 is really, really fast. When they fix camera rotation and recent apps, it will be perfect. It killed my urge for N4. Now I can easily wait for one more year... Good job Google.

So why does my phone start to lag after a day. No matter what ROM or kernel I am on, after about 20 hours my phone starts to lag. If I restart my phone all is good. Does anyone have an explanation? Is this a great 4.2.2 feature? This wasn't happening before that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Is that even pure stock? There are several posts on this already. There isn't a genuine solution but some have suggested some ways to minimize lag on 4.2.2.

I have tried all sorts of ROMs.I will look for some of the other posts. Its just frustrating because I can get it to fly, but have to reboot 1-2 times a day.

Check your memory usage. I have this problem too - and it seems like my memory if full. Try to see what services run in the background and maybe you can stop some of them. Also look at 'Greenify' - it is an app that stops background processing for apps you don't want hanging in the background. It requires root, though.
do you use twrp? i had that problem until someone mentioned that twrp doesnt wipe completely and used cmw.

would it be too much of apps running at the background and causing it lag?
I'm reading about this issue more and more everyday ... one solution i saw was that to install "Clean master" from Play store and clear cache with that to minimize lag i believe it only affects custom roms and not stock based roms :/
I am sure that most people have been updated to the new Google Maps (v7) by now... For the most part I am happy with the change, with the exception of the fact that they have removed My Maps, mere weeks before I go on holiday (I have spent a lot of time making a custom map of POI for my trip which is now wasted).
However, the biggest disappointment for me is how sluggish the app runs on my Nexus 4 (CM10.1). Compared to Maps v6 which was BUTTERY SMOOTH in every respect, the newer maps is noticeably slower (in terms of frame-rate when panning around, or navigating). Its certainly not prohibitively slow by any means, but there's no doubt that v6 ran better. What's strange is that I'm seeing a lot of people saying that it is "very smooth" in the reviews on Play which has lead me to question whether it is not a hardware limitation as much as it is a ROM limitation of some sort.
How have you found the performance to be so far? Please indicate whether you're on stock, or a custom ROM.
On Nexus 7 : Is much slower
On N4: just slower

i also don't like that they removed My Maps.
Its slow as **** on the nexus 4 and 7

No issues here. Scrolling around the map is definitely smoother for me. I've used it a few times for navigation and haven't experienced any slowness.
Stock galaxy note 2. New version sucks for me. If you leave the app and then go back it force closes every time for me. Was running maps got a text and when I try to go back it force closes. Regardless of what app you go to, if you leave and come back....boom, Force close. Uninstalling update till they get it right.

Same here, no lag issue whatsoever CM10.1.2 / AK faux Hybrid
Love the new version. Much simpler and smoother.
Performance is great for me. Really like the new maps.
What exactly do you need the my maps for? Would saving a location for your POI do just the same thing? Also, in settings under map history it saves virtually every address or place you searched for.
Its cool to be able to load up all your POI and create one single navigation to get to them all, but I don't think its really a hassle to navigate to one spot, than point in your next poi and navigate to there and so on and so forth.
Just trying to help.

No issues with V7 either. Running PA and no lag at all. Smooth sailing for me. The transition from maps to navigation has improved a lot as well. But YMMV as we see here in this thread.
I feel that mine is much smoother now. It also appears to lock my location much quicker with GPS off. That makes me happy.

Yeah, I've been getting pretty sluggish performance as well on my stock N4.
I thought I was the only one..
no lag, or stutter on latest PA build.
I am still angry, because they removed the "labs" features :/
I feel a bit lag on my transformer pad but on my nexus, not a lag at all. I also find it a bit more battery friendly as it seems to be on the background process much less
