Just picked up my nexus today. One for the wifey too. When we both have live wallpapers, my phone stutters moving from page to page but hers doesn't. Also in Quardrant, on the part of the graphics test that has a moon orbiting a planet or whatever, my phone will only do like 5fps and stutter like crazy, whereas hers does about 50fps. She is on AR and I'm on AOKP with franco kernel but got the same results with AR with stock kernel first so its not just the rom or kernel I don't think. I also tried enabling/disabling the forced GPU rendering with no effect.Any ideas?

Do you have the option for a warranty replacement?

Are you guys using the same live wallpaper?

You don't need a warranty replacement. The live wallpapers aren't optimized for ICS and neither is quadrant.

Yes, same one. So is this a hardware issue? What exactly is having trouble? The GPU?

I think it's hard to say for sure. It could be some rogue apps running in the background on your phone that is slowing it down. I think that would be a more likely explanation than a hardware problem.

It's not a hardware issue. I would go with what the person above me said.

How could I identify an app like that? I've already looked at processor times in spare parts and nothing seems out of the ordinary...

Also, I know you guys are saying it's not a hardware issue but I don't know what else it could be when my wife's phone is identical and doesn't have the same issue

i read the whole thread. you hint here, you're flashing rom and kernel. i suggest you reflash whatever you're using, but doing a thorough wipe. or trying another kernel. the phone just came out and even though everybody says this or that kernel is stable and badass, basically they're all experimetal/beta on the fly with the constant updates.
Anyone catch the news story on browser vulnerabilities? We may see some kind of factory reset.

And was patched in August, sadly because of carriers having to approve of updates, many have not seen the fix yet.
Try that link with your android browser and see if your dialer exposes your imei number, if it does nothing then we're ok
Anyway, I think its only for samsung devices running touchwhizzed

This is absolutely WRONG!
I've tested this bug today on 4 devices without TouchWiz, including a Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.4, and it WORKS!
The only safe device I saw was my Galaxy Nexus with 4.1.1 stock rom. All the rest were vulnerable! Be careful!
This is definitely going to have to be addressed, I'm surprised no one has caught it sooner

Then you should submit your results to Samsung. All of my phones bring up the dialer. That's not the issue. Only my SGS Vibrant on Android 4.0.3 brings up my IMEI as well from the stock browser. That's the issue.
Chrome is unaffected.
Just did it to my ns and gnex and I'm good

I think it's safe to assume most people that have moved from a Nexus to an S3 wouldn't continue to lurk in the Nexus forums. Probably best to ask in the S3 forums :good:
I love my Nexus and will always stay Nexus for the stock Android experience and abundance of ROMs. That said though I did try a S3 4g/LTE model today and was MIGHTY impressed with how snappy it was with Jellybean.
I've been tempted several times. Its the physical buttones that are holding me back.
I recently had the chance to get it myself. But I couldn't do it. I was looking at the aosp development, and from what I'm used to it was weak. I could live with touchwiz but I just don't like it. The physical keys where also a downer. Just something I wouldn't like to give up. And since i already have a quad core tablet there really was nothing besides a better camera and even then the gnex camera is pretty good I don't listen to what others say I know what I've seen it do.

I have both as well (SGS2 being my daily phone) and for me (my own personal preference) both the GNex and SGS3 has their own perks in their respective right. With that being said, if i had to choose, my GNex will come out on top each time. But my SGS3 is a damn good device.

The latest Touchwiz is pretty bad. I had TW ICS on my tab2 and just recently we got TW JB on the tab2. I don't know if the SGS3 will get something similar but this latest version of TW JB on my Tab 2 is slow, the browser force closes and the interface has been changed for the worst. The ICS version of TW was better than this newest version they have released.

have you even tried a gs3? even though the gnex is really smooth, the s3 is pretty much on par with their touchwiz.

The bigger question is did you read what he said? Now re-read what you typed.
He was talking about AOSP. If there was still confusion, he posted specifically that he was talking about AOSP, over an hour before you posted.

For the last time im not on about ****wizzzz im on about pure Google Android like cm10
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have both and most of the time use my s3 for the battery life. If I want to try something new or interesting I'll usually do it on the nexus. As far as bad aosp goes I'm not sure what you're smoking, we get nightly cm10 builds consistently. I'm currently running the m2 release and it's perfectly suitable for every day use. Prior to this I was running paranoid and it was great. M2 just has better battery life. Also while they do get worse battery life than touch wiz it's still better than my nexus.

lolno.
Well a lot of people I know have the s3. A lot.
Anyway...I've had a lot of opportunities to play with it. It is very very very fast first and foremost!
I've mostly played with the ICS versions. So smooth and a real joy to use. The nature UX is also very nice. Its one of the best android skin I've used from any OEM I think. They finally moved away from trying to mimic the IOS look and feel with the UI which is good.
I've tried the jellybean version of the s3 just once and to be honest I could not tell a big difference. That's because the s3 is awesome with speed and responsiveness even with ICS.
The screen is excellent also, and the feel and look of the handset in the hand is nice. It looks a lot like the galaxy nexus with buttons.
I would not move to the s3 as a full time replacement for the galaxy nexus however. Simple reason being that I had the galaxy note and waiting for ICS and Jellybean was not my thing.
I'm too comfortable with quick stock updates from my nexus s days. Plus the main reason also...the galaxy nexus is insanely fast and smooth already!

Am I the only one that is dumping the S4 in favor of the lag free nexus 4?
ahhhhhh, I can't feel better knowing that I'm going back to the nexus 4 after having to deal with the lag issues that the S4 has.
There is no lag here...try a different rom...on the custom roms...lag is gone...but you are moving along so never mind.
Running Alpha Infamous, with BioShock kernel, and Comadose tweak. No lag, and better battery then I ever saw on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4

Well, the N4 did just drop $100 so its a good time to change if your going to. But im running the GE 4.3 rom and its absolutely lag free.
Most of my complaints stem from the animation transitions...you can definitely see some type of stuttering. It happens more frequently when the phone dims its lcd brightness.

I do see some type of lag during some transitions but nothing to switch phones over ... I had the nexus and yes it was no lag at all but s4 to me was way better than the nexus.... I also did flash a 4.3 ROM and it was just as smooth as nexus ..zero lag but had to go back to tw for the camera .... But good luck to you sir :thumbup:
Nope,
No sd card and non removable = fail to me.
But I am thinking of upgrading to the note.

I'm thinking of upgrading to the note 3 once it gets released on T-Mobile too. To be honest I was a little disappointed with the s4. Not too much to go back to the nexus 4. But a little disappointed.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I just made the switch to T-Mobile and bought the S4. It's still getting delivered lol But the Nexus 4 @ 200 bucks OFF contract is an excellent deal. You can't beat that.
Again maybe it's just me, but I don't have any of the lag that I keep seeing people post about. (knock on wood) Now my OG Note was laggy as all get out. FWIW I don't use the TW launcher I swapped out to Nova after 1 day, but even with TW it didn't lag I just didn't like the look. In my experience having too many widgets seemed to cause lag, especially those that auto update, removing most of them helped somewhat with the Note
I've been tinkering with the idea of the Note 3, but really I don't want to go any bigger. Besides in a few more months something else may catch my eye, thanks to JUMP I can get it if does.

Access developer options and turn off all animation scales and then disable S-Voice. Problem solved.

Just did but.... The phone should be able to have smooth animations with no stutter. That's what bothers me. The phone is way more capable than the n4 but yet fails to deliver in that aspect.
I like the camera, the fact that you can remove the battery and can install an SD card. It's really a shame IMHO.

No lag here, I am going to second that and say running the Alpha ROM I am getting the best battery life over any previous device owned. Enjoy your new Nexus 4 for the second time around.
Just wait for the Nexus 4 2 or Nexus 5, whatever it is called.

You can tweak or flash your phone. New updates will improve it. If you want to go back, fair enough.

Why dont you just flash a GE or AOSP rom?? I'm sure you're gonna end up flashing an Aosp rom on your nexus anyways...
Like it has been said previously, just flash a Google Edition Rom (it's going to end up just like a Nexus 4): I did it and there's no turning back for me, the phone feels so much faster now... I do sorely miss the TW camera, but I use other features a lot more that depend on speed, plus I need to access some stuff (usually medical stuff) relatively quick, so I couldn't handle the lag.
People who claim lag don't know what they're doing. Please talk about your Nexus 4 on its respected forum.

Hi Friends,
I need to buy a 7'-8' tablet and being a fan of nexus, started with nexus 7 2013 32GB(22K) vs Samsung tab 3 T311(24K) and budget is ~25K (india)
But could see lot of forums pointing to random issues in new nexus 2013 device. I couldn't see any other helpful place to ask this question apart from XDA friends
Will rooting solve rebooting, hanging, touch issues in nexus 2013 device ? or can you suggest some other stable tablets in 25K range ?
Please putforth your suggestions friends.
PS: I am getting this tablet for my Parents/Brother and I want it to be stable mostly used for skype, heavy gaming and browsing. Thanks in advance
The touch issues have not been solved yet 100%. There are workarounds for it, but nothing that fixes it across the board. I have not had hanging issues, or rebooting at all with mine. Rooting will not solve the touch issues.
My Nexus 7 is stable.

I have a 2013 nexus 7 and have never had any hangingnor reboot issues. It seems that every once in a while I have the touch issues but it seems to get a little better as they update software.... I think it may be a hardware issue but they are just using software work arounds... All in all I love this tablet and wouldn't trade it for any other device. BTW it seems when I have a ROM like cyanogen installed the touch issues seem to disappear....

What kind of touch issues you're talking about? Does it occurs on every device or random?
Never seen any touch issues on mine. If there are any, it does not affect my use of the tablet. I don't use mine for gaming, so that might be a difference.
