Hi Guys,
I Have been using my galaxy nexus for about a day now, and I have to say that i find the auto rotate annoyingly slow. Sometimes not at all, really frustrating, some apps are smother than other but generally not great especially compared to my SGS2.
Anybody else having this issue?

This is likely to reduce accidental auto-rotations that have been a problem with some phones I've owned, like HTC Desire.
I wish it was a setting that user can change though.
I agree its annoying. I turned mine off but is there a way to turn it manual when you want it? Like a gesture or something?
I've noticed that in the videos. The Xoom does the same way but, ICS looks smoother. Like kristovaher mentioned, it may be by design.
It's just one of these things that you can't change in the stock version of Android, I am sure that in a CyanogenMod there will be options to adjust that.
Its not lag as such. Its implemented into Android as a timer so it doesn't rotate accidentally. Agreed it could be a little quicker

yeah the auto-rotate is not as fast as it was on the Nexus S running Gingerbread.
I guess I'll just get used to it.
Have you tried using spare parts to change the transition speeds?

that could work, although I'm guessing it's more to do with a threshold that has been applied to the actual physical rotation of the device, rather than any delay with the effect of the screen rotating.
Would be interested if anyone tries this!
Setting the transition speed unfortunately doesn't work. You don't need spare parts for it. The development section in the general Android settings has also an option to play with this parameter
Edit: btw I'm pretty sure that it can be changed by playing with the files in the /sys (not /system) directory. A lot of low level things can be changed there like backlight settings etc. My bet is that the file you wanna edit is somewhere in the /sys/class directory. Unfortunately I didn't root my device yet, so I didn't play with it yet.
What about turning animations off???
So far I like it slower. I was often annoyed by accidental reorientation due to normal movement on my Nexus S. This helps make sure the change in orientation is intentional and deliberate. I like that.

Install the MoDaCo rom, that has the tweaked the rotate.
The slow auto-rotation must be a feature of ICS. HC works the same way on the Xoom. My wife's iPad will auto-rotate at the least little movement. I prefer the HC/ICS way.
This is one of the few things that annoys me with this phone. It seems to be worse in certain apps, too. It's bad in gallery, and really bad in a gallery replacement app I use called Quickpic.

How many people are having this issue?
Ive had it since purchase and im on 4.0.2 now (manually updated) and still having issues.
I have no idea if google or samsung are aware of this but a quick search on google brings up loads of articles about it.
If you not sure download a multi touch test app from the market and follow as they do on the video.
While in landscape mode with the power button at the top the right hand side of the screen will being temperamental which you try to have more than one point on touch on the screen.
I noticed this issue playing heavy gunner today
Unfortunate

I get it playing anything which requires multi touch. Causes modern combat 3 to be un-playable.
Can be fixed sometime by turning screen off and on.

Here my Galaxy Nexus yesterday night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNlfGo3YrnQ
Multitouch issue for the first time.
Had this issue a couple times. This truly is the predecessor to the nexus one lol

oke this is a copy of my thread here :Gnex Game thread
"Oke.
just to point this out and help a couple of people.
the current state of gaming on the Gnex is..rater terrible.
Allot of game's camp with the multitouch error/glitch/compatibility.
Yes multitouch doesnt work how it should work.
The cause of this might be the SB(software buttons)
and an API that needs to be implemented to the game to hide the SB.
"
as this might be actually the issue.. that apps dont have the right API/support for the Gnex.
all the linkts and video's you posted are apps that arent native and dont support the GNex at all.
yes they run.but as soon as you get close to the SB you get issue's.
and there is the problem.
the apps need to include the hide SB api that are in the native gnex apps.
there is your problem.
not all apps are affected by this issue due to apps being programmed differently.
(different API level or coding)
as soons as GTA3 has gnex support,than we can see if i was right or you were.

Why would turning screen off and back on fix it for a while?
I hope it is easily fixed but i hope its in android source rather than apps as thats alot of incompatible apps.
Whew. Just tested. Multitouch is perfect!

my multitouch issue only happens with heavy gunners. Once I play heavy gunners, I can see the multitouch issue.
I don't have this issue when playing shadowgun or deadspace.
The first time I tried the multitouch issue it appeared, but after that I have tried a lot of times and is impossible to reproduce the error againg. Eitherway, I have played a lot of times to Modern Combat 2 and I have never had any kind of problem with the multitouch.
BTW, when I achieved reproducing the error, it was just in the typical position of the onscreen controls for games and emulators and just in the left side of the screen if I look it in portrait mode, was strange, in the right side it worked fine, but in the left side not
Mine happens just like in the video. Works perfectly fine until I play a game like heavy gunner, then I get issues. Turn the screen off then back on and everything works again.
edit: Actually, toggling the screen off and back on during the game seems to fix multitouch in-game too
I have the same issue in GTA3 and N64oid.. I hope it will work in updated versions of these apps.
this is what happen to me:
If i'm chargin the phone multitouch goes crazy and doesn't work,litteraly impossible to use, if i unplug the power cord, put the screen off and back on everithing goes back to normal, since i' testing the multitouch with antutu so i'm sure of this bug,
So if only battery powered multitouch ok!
With power cord plugged in multitouch not ok!
let me know what do you think.
Brand new Nexus 7 here. I have noticed that any action requiring a touch and hold, such as moving an app or widget is often not recognized and I have to try several times. On the other hand, other things seem to be hyper sensitive, like the SwiftKey keyboard where I regularly get double presses.
Is it just me, or are other people experiencing this?

I'm having the issue too. Also when using Swype and when resting my finger on an opened browser page and all of a sudden with one finger it'll zoom in real quick. I think I might exchange tomorrow. I've been waiting to see if this is software or hardware issue. I've also had the chrome browser just lock up.
Same. Takes me a couple tries to hold down on the home screen to get the wallpaper option to come up for example. My initial guess is that it's software related...maybe a sensitivity issue? Like it wants to scroll left/right the second you press down which then negates any long-touch pressed-in options until you let go and try again. If that makes sense.

Hopefully this is just software. If there aren't too many having the same issue then it could be hardware.. Are you guys thinking about exchanging for new one?

Right now I'm not. Everything else seems fine. I really think it's just 4.3 or the new screen or something being more sensitive than the old N7. I just tried it now and about 9 of 10 times i got the wallpaper option to come up, but I was paying attention. So who knows!

No problems over here... Are you guys in very humid climates? Maybe that could be making a difference if the screen is over/under-sensitive? Or maybe just bad hardware / connections? My screen is working flawlessly, that's all I know.

No issues at all for me either. The digitizer is working flawlessly. Using stock launcher.
Happens to me all the time especially when typing with double inputs. Being pressed especially. Space bar hence my. Over use of periods
I' m having the same problem, especially on the chrome browser and the keyboard. I'm returning mine today, also because my screen has a black line all the screen from top to bottom.
Same problem here, but doesn't happen too often. Running nova launcher. Sensitivity is otherwise great.

I have confirmed this issue on both stock launcher and Nova launcher. I have not tried Apex.
Sometimes touch and hold will work fine, but other times it's frustratingly bad. Seems like I'm not the only one, which makes me think that swapping it probably won't make a difference. I think I'll just hold out for a software update.
I'm having similar problems here. Figured I'd wait until the official release date to see if they push a fix or something before I return it

I started to notice where I tap on the screen isn't where the Note registers even with the pen. It doesn't do this all the time but when I'm browsing, I would end up "clicking" on the wrong link. When I'm using adobe reader, the pen works great and accurate when I'm highlighting and underlining. Works fine in candy crush. It's when it comes to a busy screen and need to be accurate as to where I "click", the Note just give me attitude. Is this a defective item? Seems worse on landscape too.

It should be fixed in the beta version of chrome (android).
Here is a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta&hl=en
Chrome for Android is a joke. Google should be ashamed of that mess. It's amazing that OEMs stock browser and even the AOSP browser puts Chrome to shame. Google really needs to double down on it.
Are you using a cover that has a magnet? if so try to pull it out off the cover and try again. I notice a difference after taking it out from my casing(I didn't know it could cause this problem) I also didnt know that there is no option to calibrate where as my previous palm pilots and treo. Wish they could have added that option to calibrate.
Chrome's new hide the tabbar behaviour is responsible for the offset issue in Chrome, and is fixed in Chrome 29 (currently in beta).
In other apps I have experienced no offset or accuracy issue. I believe there's a guide in the forum about tuning the S-Pen by popping the button cover off and monkeying.
I've had my note 4 for a couple weeks now, and I have to say that the phone is not as powerful as I expected. Whenever I run a resource heavy app, the phone experiences severe lag after exiting the app. For instance, the Caustic app, which is a music mixing app, runs descent on my note 4 but after exiting the app the launcher becomes very stuttery and laggy. I loaded the phone up with Nova launcher prime, and it does work better, yet still lags. I have clean master installed, and I've gotton notifications from it a couple times telling me the RAM is above 80% and the CPU is hot.. I've always been under the impression that clearing processes from RAM on Android is a no no, but as a last ditch effort, I went ahead and did it anyway. Over all, I'm not happy with the phone performance. My 2013 nexus 7 performes better, and this is supposed to be a beefier device as far as hardware is concerned.. Should I take the phone back to AT&T?

So I tried caustic not sure how long but it does lag the launcher after exiting. (nova launcher)
Also after reboot every thing is running smoothly again and started caustic again and it does not lag after exiting ~5mins of running (maybe I didn't leave it running as long or what not I'm not sure but that's all I can observe so far)
Hope that helps you a bit.
This is exactly why we need the ability to flash custom roms on Samsung devices. The out-of-the-box experience sucks. The phone performs night and day on a custom rom.

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it. My girlfriend has an AT&T Note 4 as well. I loaded hers up with the caustic app, and had the same laggy results. Yea, sometimes after exiting the app, the lag is so bad I have to reboot, other times a simple screen lock and unlock takes care of it, and other times there is no lag at all. When I was using the touch wiz launcher it caused lag everytime.. Nova launcher is working much better, but still not satisfactory..IMO, if I have what is considered to be one of, if not the most powerful smartphone currently, I shouldn't be dealing with this at all.. I think after this phone I'll stick with nexus devices.. Even though I said the same thing after my Galaxy S4, and somehow got sucked into the hype on this phone..

I think it's probably just Samsung bloatware interfering with phone function.
Personally I don't think it is a deal breaker just keep an eye out for those apps it may not be 100% compatible with our phones.
You may want to report the issue to the developer of Caustic. It could just be a software glitch isolated to this phone.
I personally haven't had the chance to see this phone lag at all and I definitely use it very heavily.

Do you use a cleaner app? I use clean master, and about once or twice a day I get a notification from clean master telling me the phone is preforming poorly, and ram is over %80. This usually occurs when I have a few apps open, and I usually do experience minor lag leading up to this. I allow clean master to wipe the ram, then reboot the phone and all is well for a while. This is very discouraging..

While a bit counterintuitive to what we have been seeing on windows etc.
This phone is designed to use all of its ram.
It should not lag while doing it and apps that causes it to lag is probably dev error so make note of those apps and keep an eye out for it.
Ram is not being used unnecessarily android purposely stores cached in ram to allow it to load faster.
It is not the app's fault. I made a thread about this same exact behavior a couple weeks ago but not a single person responded. Jittery, laggy performance after exiting a game or other graphics intensive app. Only thing that would get rid of it was a reboot.
I got a PM from Samsung Support about it though which surprised me. I think they may be aware of some type of issue.
It happened for me after two different apps closing so it's not your app. And it doesn't happen after every closing either. The jittery behavior is not limited to the launcher either. Next time it happens open another app and scroll, like the browser. It was terribly choppy.
The good news is Samsung reached out to me which is always a positive sign for fixes.

Yea, definitely not the apps fault. I've confirmed this by installing the same app on my Nexus 7 and Galaxy S4; the app runs fine on those two devices without any lag as a result. It may be compatability issues with the newer qualcom chip, or possibly all of the bloatware on the phone weighing things down. These ideas are all speculation on my part. It's good to hear that Samsung is aware of the issue. Please keep us posted on anything new in regards to the issue. Just an FYI, I've replaced Nova Launcher with the Google now launcher, and for the last 3 days the phone has been running remarkably smoother. Hopefully lollipop will fix these issues.. Root would definitely be nice.

I was having some minor issues with Nova Launcher. I was getting random crashes, where Nova itself was actually crashing, which was a first for me. I was also getting some lag while scrolling, opening and closing apps. When I use Nova Launcher, I tweak allot of the settings, so that may have had something to do with it, but I've used Nova Launcher for the last year and a half on my Galaxy S4 w/o any problems.. Google now launcher doesn't have any options for customization of any kind, but it has been very smooth and effective.
