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.

Phone lags in everyday tasks plus games

It does this when going from an app to home and going thru the app drawer. And playing games is a horrible experience because it lags constantly. I'm fully stock no root. I did a factory reset after the recent ota. Do I have a defective phone? I just got it yesterday. FYI I came from the HTC one and that phone played all of my games flawlessly. I play modern combat 4 gta vice city nba2k13. And all of them lag considerably on this phone I thought this phone was better then the HTC one. Faster processor etc. What's going on any help?

I use SwiftKey too I'm going to try uninstalling it and see if that's that culprit.
Edit: I un installed swiftkey and lag disappeared:0 thats really weird. Games work normal no lag in menus anymore swiftkey made this phone unstable maybe because the stock keyboard has swiftkey flow, they kept colliding with eachother. Idk just a theory.

Right! I love the predictions it has maybe cause of what I had thought the stock Samsung keyboard has swiftkey flow built in maybe they collided and caused lag but weird how much lag is gone . Im happy now

do you have battery saving enabled?

I am confused. I have Swype preinstalled on my s4 and not swiftkey. Does uninstalling Swype decrease the lag?

You can't uninstall swype unless you root, if not disable it. I'm not sure if swype affects performance I have it disabled cause I don't use it, But haven't noticed a difference. Swype and SwiftKey are two different apps so if you don't have SwiftKey this post doesn't apply to you.

Guys if you downloaded swiftkey on to the device, then it will not work properly because sasmsung intergrated swiftkey into their stock keyboard.

Unless you unchecked the swiftkey feature in the stock keyboard settings. That worked for me now swiftkey nor the phone lags.

I also found that if you FREEZE the stock Samsung keyboard with Titanium, and continue to use SwiftKey, you will also find the lag is gone.

Thank you so much for pointing this out. I removed the Samsung keyboard and not leather phone flies. I was getting frustrated and thinking of returning. I tried everything. It was that friggin conflict between the keyboards.
Thank you

I had the SAME issue as OP. Installed ROM from i9505 and M919 kernal and now it's the device it should be

YouTube v5 update - landscape issues

Seems like a samsung problem, just wondering if anyone on xda has been able to find a fix...
with the new youtube update (v5), there is no longer a time bar on landscape so you can fast forward/rewind a video.. and there's also no way to go back to portrait mode since that whole bottom area is missing (have to minimize the video, and then click back in... )
the app has ad 3-4 updates since its release and the problem is still there. been using v4 as the app is pretty unusable at this point. seems to be an issue with all samsung phones. i really love the new design but it's too bad that there's this huge glaring bug.

Are you talking about the mobile app? Because on my s3 it runs flawless and all the buttons work just fine...your issues are odd to say the least

Same Problem
His issue is not odd.This issue happens on all Galaxy devices with 4.1.2 JB android version.So if you have 4.2 or even 4.0 just shut up!

yup.. really annoying.
hopefully the 4.3 update is coming soon for s3, maybe that will fix it

not only s3
I have the same problem on samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100 jb 4.1.2
No custom rom.
No time line in landscape. I am amazed.
Take care

I think my problem was due to me having the Rogers stock version of 4.1.2 installed, when I changed to the AT&T Stock Rom it was fixed, now it's working flawlessly
And this may be your problem since you are on a i747M Rom Jamolah

[Q] Swiftkey as default keyboard

Few days ago I bought the Swiftkey keyboard and even after selecting it as default keyboard, it keeps reverting to stock keyboard after sometime without even booting. Is there a solution for this?

You might want to try removing the stock keyboard using TiBu/RootExplorer/etc. and leave SwiftKey as the only keyboard present.

Similar to this, you could also go into the Apps in the settings, and find and disable the stock keyboard. I've been using SwiftKey for around 4 years, I've faced this issue multiple times.

Just started doing this for me a month or so ago. I went in to titanium and froze Android keyboard, just like what the other guy did and it worked fine. Not a fan of removing completely so freezing is the way to go imo.

Yes, I tried all the other possible ways. Freezing is the only option it seems. And now finally I'm on Swiftkey! :good:

Great! Enjoy it, it's a fantastic keyboard, be warned though, it gets better and worse as they release updates.
