So, I just decided to install the tablet refined XDA Premium HD app and really all I can say is WOW, this app looks amazing and works great on the Gnex. It's like night and day using this as opposed to the regular XDA App or even the regular XDA Premium App.
Also, it's on sale for only 99cents right now on the Play Store.
Definitely recommend it to those of you that get your fix of XDA from your device more than on your PC most of the time.

I'll wait for a few more positive comments. App notoriously sucks from xda. Bought premium in the past, as you can see I don't use it.

I bought it a while ago for my N7. It force closes a lot, like every time you leave the app for a second and return. I wouldn't recommend it.

Fair enough, I just wanted to through it out there for people especially since it's only a buck for a limited time.

I think it may have updated since then because I have been using it constantly for over one solid day with not a single hiccup in how it runs let alone a force close.

Sounds about right. Thanks for the heads up. I took one for the team, not taking 2.

I use it too. Much better than the premium, but still very closes more than I'd like. And downloading attachments is hit and miss, mostly miss. Still, it's better.
already using it from lots of time.....one simply word-the best!-:good:

I've heard nothing but bad things about the premium app. The Premium HD as I've said is amazing though. Still, going on 2 days and not a single force close issue whatsoever.

It is pretty frustrating.
Well I just re downloaded the app and... (see image)
Judging from reviews on the play store for both the N7 and Galaxy Nexus the app is broken and force closes more than occasionally. It's usable but if you're bugged by force closes I'd recommend Tapatalk.

I think these issues are device and rom specific, possibly even kernel specific depending on gov and clock settings. I have yet to encounter that popup while using XDA HD app in almost 2 days. I'm at my PC right now but for the majority of the weekend I have been only using my phone to view XDA and everything has worked perfectly smooth.
I'm using the xda premium app and it works fine. I'm presuming it's for tablets only?
It's powered by ANDROID 4.1..1 JellyBean AOKP ran by Devil Kernel 1.6.0

The XDA Premium HD app is optimized for Tablets but it looks and works amazing on the Gnex using Paranoidandroid.

I'm running 100% stock, odexed and rooted. So I doubt it is device, ROM or kernel specific. Try opening a forum then exiting the app for a minute then open the app and press the back softkey. Alternatively try the xda button at the top right instead of the back softkey.
Please let me know if you get a FC so I can try figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Sounds cool, but I've already bought the XDA Premium app, and I can't be bothered to buy the HD one. The regular one works fine, I can't see how different HD can make text..

I am seriously in no way trying to mess with you but I really cannot recreate your force close issue. I've tried.
Thanks for trying anyways. Well there must be someone who can help. There's heaps of reviews on the Play Store about the FCs so looks like I'm not the only one.
Or maybe it's just a Nexus 7 thing?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I run XDA premium and premium HD on a nexus 7 and havent had a force close problem. I've run it on about 10 roms but I do completely clean installs and full wipes between Rom installs.
Just wanted to report that's its not force closing on mine.
It doesn't mean you don't have an issue or its not a freak conflict with who knows what, just reporting my experience in case its helpful.
I do have a minor issue where when I get a notification and click on it, it just sits loading for a long time. But I don't like notifications I discovered it purely on accident and didn't try to wait it out a really long time or address it, I ran across a thread that said they're working on that issue already.

Thanks, i will give a try
I have stock gnex on takju, since 4.2.2 I have suffered from lag all over the place, the lag could be fixed by restarting the phone but it would eventually come back.
I have only 300MB of data plan and I noticed that Facebook and facebook messenger where using about 50MB a month on the background without any user interaction and just a couple of days ago I started seeing Facebook app as the second most battery using app just behind screen on, this made me uninstall Facebook and and I instantly saw performance go up all over the place, it was night and day comparison, my phone feels like new and the buttery effect is back.
Now I installed Facebook back just to test and it indeed is the reason for my lag but this time I used greenifyed it and it fixed the lag too.
So there you go, hope this helps

Does matter. I disabled background data (as opposed to removing the app entirely) on Facebook and have noticed substantial speed improvement instantly. The only place you can do it, that I'm aware of, is from the mobile data screen when checking the apps usage.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
There are two places to disable notification from Facebook on mobile.
The first would be to go into the settings by clicking on the 3 point button just right of the multitasking navigation key, then disabling notifications.
Second, by clicking on the top left corner button inside the Facebook app, then clicking on privacy settings --> notifications---> mobile push--> uncheck all
Sometimes I think Facebook deliberately tries to complicate the notification settings so as to keep pushing themselves on our faces!

Thanks for the tip, this actually helped a bit.
I've had luck with disabling auto-rotation for some reason. Caused SystemUI to lag after time. Hopefully it'll be patched in 4.3.
From watching the review videos, the Note 3 seems pretty fluid, much more snappier than the S4. Just wondering if I can get anyone's perspective on it? How snappy is the UI? Does the browser have any lag? Overall performance? Thanks
I have no lag at all. When I took the battery out or restart it takes a min with the optimizing apps at the beginning bc its like 270 apps installed but after that I have no complaints. Not sure if it does the optimizing thing bc im stock rooted or if thats normal.

I second this. I can't see any lag on anything. And I mean anything. Launcher, launching and using apps, scrolling, etc. Super buttery smooth all around.
Third this... Zero lag at all!
I have zero lag. I'm running a stock rooted Rom on T-Mobile with Apex Launcher. The 2.3 GIG processor and the 3 GIG of Ram handle this with lots of room to spare!!!

No lag for the most part, but when turning off the screen, there is a delay from when the button is pressed to when it decides to actually do something.
No lag for me. This phone is fast and smooth.

Any suggestion would be great.

Assuming you have a similar setup of personal apps, and the fact that it occurred on both your note 2 and now your note 3 - my money is on it being something peculiar to one of the apps/mods you have installed. Not much help I know, but that's where I would start looking if I were you anyway
Thanks, this make sense and btw, both note 2 and 3 are fully stock, no mod at all ...

If you have a lock screen replacement, LED Management app or battery management app, they have all been known to mess with screen timeout. I would check those out to start, then go from there looking at other customization.
Might be happening when you log back into Google after you have reset your device.
It turns to the settings you had when the Google account was backed up.

The recent apps menu did look like it opened faster but everything else seemed very laggy and jittery. Maybe it's just the video, but my Note 4 is a lot smoother than that one.

The kernel seems to indicate that it's a rooted version and maybe it's debloated and that's why it's snappier..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
Mine isn't snappier. At all. Maybe on the kernel, but even that wouldn't explain the absolute zero lag on recent apps. My buddy's rooted Note 3 is nowhere near that. Even it has a "little" lag.

My Wife and I got a pair of Note 4's PRIOR to Lollipop. We both upgraded to 5.0.1
She is of the "I dont like messing with it" I have downloaded most every launcher, got involved in themes etc.
Other than disable the bloatware (fitness, milk, ant, etc.) I want to say her phone is so blazing fast I cannot even comprehend why it is so fast compared to mine. I have factory reset mine ( hers no) but that thing is what all phones should be like..
Q: On an Android system does it have something like a defrag like computers? Why would hers be faster than mine? Ideas?

I'm pretty sure the reason is becuase you have a lot more apps on your phone, starting with a different launcher.
I don't know why Android does this (or is it the app developers causing it?)...but a lot of apps load into memory whether you run them or not. Less memory available = slower performance. This is why I was disappointed when the Note 4 came with 3GB instead of 4GB of memory.
I have a lot of apps on my phone, and especially if multitasking it is quite laggy (for example, when I go for a walk, I'll be playing music through BT, and have MyTracks running to track the walk. If a text comes in, it has a very long lag before it opens).
This is the reason I'll likely be replacing my Note 4 with something else soon.
Well, I so have a TMobile N4 on the way. Plan to root, and install a KK ROM. Been researching on the TM Dev site, and there appears to be a great one there. Everybody touts the speed and battery performance.
That being said, the topic of 5.1.1 came up. One of the folks there had just got the T3 version of the N4 wiht 5.1.1, and he said as far as he is concerned, no ROM necessary. Says it flies. No comparison.
So, hopefully, 5.1.1 will be here on AT&T before long.
I switched back to stock launcher, removed a few weather widgets and a few less used apps and now mine flies.
I guess we have been lucky, we have never experienced any battery issues or any other things spoken of during this 5.0.1 update.
The only issue we have ever had is the issue with wifi vs 4G LTE. When you reach an area with wifi it sees the signal, wont connect due to not having the pw and the phone becomes useless unless wifi is turned off or you leave the area. Still waiting on speedify to come through with its beta.

I decided to try the stock launcher after reading your post. It is hard to believe how much faster it is. I miss the customization but love the extra performance. Hope I can figure out why the stock launcher keeps crashing once in a while.

After reading this, I thought I'd give it a try. Jeebus! Okay, so maybe the problem is more Nova Launcher than my actual Note. The downside is, I love Nova! I use the gestures and such constantly. And my phone stays in landscape position all day. Has anyone had success with other launchers?

It's weird how different these phones are. I've been using nova prime for about 2 months now. Went back and used stock Touchwiz launcher for a day or so and was thinking how jittery it was compared to nova. Went back to nova.

Yeah, after an hour of using TW, the recent apps lag was back. Switched back to Nova, no lag. For a few minutes. So much for that. Does anyone know exactly what the nature of the "memory leak" in 5.0.1 is? This must be related somehow.

Just curious, for both of you. I do not have my power saving mode turned on. There is a tab there that restricts cpu performance if its on.
JFYI...This past week I got a T-Mobile Note 4. Rooted it, installed a 5.1.1. ROM, and it is much faster. I too use Nova Launcher.
Battery is great too. I typically do an overnight / screen off test to get a general feeling of battery performance.
My AT&T Note 4 overnight with power saving off, wifi on, BT on, used just under 5% / hour. The TM one with same conditions lastnight used .73% / Hour. Yes...less than 1% / hour. I'm seeing quotes over in the ROM thread of 5-6 hours SOT.
I was ready to ditch the Note 4. Not now.
