Verizon 4.2 update - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I just updated my galaxy nexus last night to 4.2 from the OTA and I have to say I'm not so pleased with the experience. My phone seems laggy , slower, etc. Is anyone else getting a similar experience? Or what should I do to improve this?

did you try factory reset (backup your data before)??

Maybe I should try that. I forgot to save my root prior to the OTA update so I lost it :-\

Actually it doesn't seem so bad now that I am home from work on WiFi. I get a really bad signal from the place I work maybe that's what was slowing down the phone?

Is Bluetooth working well? That was the only reason I went back to 4.1.1

"Download unsuccessful"

Whenever I download something with the browswr, it always goes to 99% then instead of saying download complete.
It shows download unsuccessful.
This has happened on wifi, 4g lte, and 3g. I always had signal when I downloaded the files. I've had this problem on stock 4.0.2 and CM9 kang (current rom).
Is this a known issue that all galaxy nexus owners experience? Or is it just me? Please help... can't download anything with my phone...

Not very helpful, but I've never had any trouble downloading in browser. Are you using stock browser?

Yes. I feel in ics, there's no real need for third party browser so I always use the stock browser.

I have this problem and i agree it shouldn't happen but, as a work-around, what i do is go to the download folder in App drawer and "retry" the download. I would say i get over a 95% success rate by "retrying" downloads.

Yeah, sometimes I have to retry like 5 times.
I have this problem as well. I just keep retrying till it succeeds. Not a huge deal since 4G is decent in my area.

All this talk is useless without posting whether or not you've installed a custom rom or kernel.
I had the issue on some old franco/aokp versions. seems to have gone away now.
OK...
I was running Franco/cm9 kang when I had my problems.
Now that I'm on gummy and the included kernel, the problems have yet to surface.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks for all the info guys.
I really like cm9 kang so I do not want to flash other roms.
But clearing the browser data has helped!
Until now it has successfully downloaded everything on the first try . So thanks again

Deep sleep

I recently realised the reason my batt has been draining so fast is cos my device has not been entering deepsleep..
Anyone know if this is suspicious and how I remove it?
Oh and before anyone asks I did 1h without music running and i only got 11s deep sleep

Sorry for double post but can someone identify this found more wakelocks
Also no kernel wakelocks

Already off battery still draining like crazy any ideas? Am using AOKP Milestone 1 JB. Not kernel problem as i have tried 5 different ones same problem

How's your mobile signal? Low signal makes the device waste more power to transmit data.

4.1.2's default radio is XXLF1. Try factory reset and/or another rom. Those partial wakelocks/alarm wakelocks shouldn't give you so much trouble. Also, kernel wakelocks?
Nope no kernel wake locks. Switched to codename android fixed now I guess

What could it be?

My phone phone has shut down twice today for not apparent reason.
Once I had it sitting on my desk and the second time it was in my pocket.
I saw a video that it might be the battery connectors but in my case I was not able to replicate it.
So what else could it be?

As stated by another user, occasional reboots are "normal" on 4.2.1 but twice a day is a bit ridiculous.
If I may suggest a substitute ROM in which I don't really experience any reboots, it is pretty much stock with tweaks, no AOKP, CM10, PA, eye candy, just a fast stable ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821673
Yeah I really wouldn't mind a soft reboot or even a reboot once in a while but I have had 3 shut-offs in the last 2 days it wasn't even a reboot, which makes me wonder if it's hardware rather than software.
Thanks for the suggestion but at this point I really don't want to flash a ROM, I will most likely end up coming back to stock at some point if I do.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I found that uninstalling the last couple apps I installed stopped the sleep of deaths.

Double check that your kernel settings are stock and you haven't done any tweaks that could cause kernel panic

Honestly, I invested way too much time into customizing PA 2.54 (the last 4.1 Rom by PA) just how I want it and I haven't found a reason to change it. I just don't have the time anymore unfortunately to keep up with all the amazing and rapid development that xda chefs keep putting out
I did really miss photosphere though so I just wanted that.

If its Paranoid Preferences you have spent time on you could always backup your Paranoid Preferences, in Tools you'll find an option for backup.

Yeah it's not just the paprefs, it's everything else too. Just don't have the time to experiment too much anymore sadly. I'm happy with it till the new Nexus comes along
Nothin wrong with 4.2.1 IMO. I've actually thought about goin back because with it my Gnex got about twice the battery life than I'm getting with 4.2.2. I've tried almost every Rom and kernel too. Used to get about 7hrs screen time with my 3800mAh, now I get about 4 ever since 4.2.2. But I do like alot of the improvements tho so idk...Jus my opinion.

Same here.. Clean flash on 12/09 nightly and PAgapps.. Very smooth so far. Will use it as my DD tomorrow at work and see how it goes
Edit:
Well, so far the basics I use as well as the apps and games are working fine.. Also Triangle Away works with CM11.

Yes.. Unfortunately there is NO post other than this one.. If you go to the CM website depository and go to d2tmo you WILL see it.. I was on the 12/09 nightly and last night "dirty flashed" to the 12/12 and everything is great for ME!.. I used internet, SMS, calling on a daily basis.. Yes this is GENERAL usage but that's MY experience.. And its been FLAWLESS.. Let's keep this thread alive since a LOT of ppl and devs have moved onto another device.. I say that because I gave my wife my old S2 and there seems to be MORE support from devs there than here.. She's on a good 4.3 ROM and has a option for 4.4 (I haven't flashed cuz 4.3 works so well for a older device).. I love my s3 and when my wife gets the new Note3 I'm keeping the s2 cuz its a underrated device just like the HTC Leo was/is..

Don't take me for an expert, but the CM website says to refer to d2tmo, so I believe it will work.
Battery life looks alright over here as well.
We do, however, need to get WiFi calling on this so that those who rely on it (not me, but others) can update to this.
