The gnex just isnt powerful enough?

I am on stock 4.2.2 with franco.kernel r366. Most of the time it runs ok but sometimes my gnex is laggy as hell, especially whwn downloading app from the Play Store. Sometimes waking to drvice can take 3-4 seconds and sometimes even more. I am using widgetlocker. Not mentioned Chrome which is laggy too. I really can't understand why my gnex act like that... I used my friend's HTC One X and its smooth all the time.

Well, there are big differences on the Gnex and HTC one X hardware. You cant just think that it will have the same performance.
The question is, do you really need a phone that is 100% smooth?
But android is becoming a heavy OS. Its natural to evolve this way, as well as hardware.

Smoothness is the most important features for me. I need my phone to be responsive all the time, that the reason I went back to stock from custom because custom gave me terrible performance, that making a call was an issue.

"Need". Otherwise you're probably going to have to buy a new device soon.

I can conquer.
When downloading from the Play store, It is extremely slow on various roms.
I believe the problem is the read\write speeds of the storage which is extremely slow.
too bad

yes, i have the same problem whem the app is installing. Its very slow and laggy. Its important to say that there are many apps for android that are poorly optimized, so even in a powerful hardware you may have some issues.
Considering Gnex is a mid end device, i think soon you have to change your phone to a high end if you want more smoothness and if you are willing to pay the price.

This didn't happend on 4.1, so it's not a hardware issue

Most apps are optimized for gingerbread. And of course its going to "lag" while doing intensive operations.
Sent from my Nexus

I'm running stock and I haven't experienced any sort of lag or anomalies. Have you tried flashing stock to verify?

i disagree bro...
if you compare GNex with the smartphones with the same h/w config, u wud definatly agree dat its the best in its generation.

writing to disk normally slows the phone. Probably is more related to the OS than hardware.

No, just 4.2* is junk. Go back to 4.1.2 and you'll see the difference.

This fixed a lot of lag the op was talking about. It trims the /data and /cache partition, which for some reason doesn't happen on this device but is required just like normal ssd drives.

That app doesn't work on my device. I tried the app from chainfire I believe that checked if the device was bugged by that emmc trimming failure. Mine wasn't.

LG gpad general lag

So I recently purchased a bargain priced g pad here in the UK. I am currently an Ipad air owner(boooo) but wanted to get an Android tablet and this seemed like my best option. But I have to say that I am really disappointed as it it laggy as hell and the battery life is pretty poor.
Is this normal or am I the proud owner of a dud? The lag occurs in stock launcher and apex. It also happens in browsers, namely chrome, Uc and dolphin. It even lags when browsing threads on tapatalk.
I have factory reset it and no joy. I am outside the 7 day return period and so kind of need to fix the issue if poss.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be given

I own LG GPad 8.3 as well, and I don't see any lags, it is working as normal. even games are running smoothly. I don't know why is it lagging on your tablet.

I find my g pad smooth as well and no issues. Very happy with speed. Now my galaxy s3 phone, that is laggy and looking forward to next upgrade

Im pretty surprised with how much people are getting lags.. even with stck unrooted out of the box i dont get these lags.. although i knew it can perform better.. for the people with lags try rooting and installing the malladus custom rom.. suped up stock rom with most of the lg software in tact..... as stated in that forum the way the stock rom should run.......... much smoother when running anything and everything...... try it out..

Ran pretty smooth stock

Thanks for the replies, I may have to go down the root path then as a test, other than the lag and slightly poor battery life it is a good tablet for sure

I've also observed some stuttering while using my V500 (especially scrolling webpages).
The best way to test this is to choose image from gallery, zoom in and drag it around furiously
Sometimes its smooth and works as supposed to, but most of the times after a second or two it stops responding to finger movements.
No idea what to do. I like LG stock rom, but this is a deal-breaker for me

I have experienced really bad lag playing jetpack joyride. Anyone else experience this? Running stock.

add the task manager widget, how much Free RAM is there when it lags?
I'm usually at 600-730 free RAM and the only time it lags is when closing out a game and quickly launching email or Chrome app from home screen.

Is there any other app that lets one fix the black levels? The G Pad without any fixing of the black levels isn't that great for watching shows, movies or playing games where details often can be found in the darker areas. And trading better black levels for more lag (or having to use the Performance governor isn't great). I even noticed watching shows with Screen Adjuster made the FPS a bit jittery (like it's missing frames here and there).

That is not a lag, that is either defective digitiser or drivers within software. Ive got exactly the same issue on mine, suddenly it just stops responding when dragging my finger across the screen like it was not touched.

New one is definitely working better, however it still feels like it misses touches every once in a while. That could be a software issue though, it was with my Nexus 7 2013.

I just had digitizer replaced by LG service center. New one works great, no problems at all. So it was a hardware issue after all, like michal_alton suggested.

Crash happens on playing for 5 to 10 mins, becoz cpu or gpu get too hot? I'm not sure...

@kelvinick, Not for me. It's always crashes right away.
On loading a game I noticed the phone immediately starts logging something having to do with the "thermal engine", changes the "wlchg_monitor" alarm to 42c, and the "LCD_management" alarm to 44c.

Hmm well no problems here. If it's happening in more than one game I'd lean towards a defective phone.
First I'd try a factory reset before returning the phone.

Nexus 5X lag

Hey guys
I have bought a Nexus 5x but recently I have noticed it lags like hell and it gets hot around of camera
Is it because of encryption?
Last year I had Nexus 5 and it was very smooth but Nexus 5X is really laggy and it's not like a nexus
How can I solve this issue?

format the /data partition (note that you should have a kernel with disabled force encryption prior to formatting)

Make sure you have the latest OTA updates. Should be no issues with lag or heat.

Usual Android tips would apply in that case. Most likely related to apps you have running as 24/7 background services, check your Developer Options > Running Services to monitor those.
This device is smooth and snappy. Even when its maximum throttled point (hot) it's faster than a Moto G (cold) which is no slouch itself when it comes to unskinned Android.

LAG
I have an unrooted device and randomly I will get really bad lag. I feel it a lot more when I am using the camera app and trying to switch from one app to another. The solution that works for me is clearing out the cache.
I boot the phone into bootloader, I get a random error (forget what it says), then hold the up volume then and power at the same time for about 3 seconds. Then let go of the volume button. It will take you to a different screen where you can choose clear cache.
Hopefully this helps.

Same problem here. Mine even lags when composing a text as the characters get more and more. Very frustrating.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA-Developers mobile app

I have the same lag issue, the overall RAM usage is around 1,6 of the 1,8 GB which last not much space for caching apps or something else.
Clean up the cache is not the solution for that problem.
I'm very frustrated with this issue because I use multitasking and therefore the 2 GB RAM seems to be not enough. Right?
My wife has a oneplus x and it feels snappy, and this is more consistent, the Nexus slows down from time to time.

Piss poor performance only on Verizon model?!

Just curious what other Verizon owners are experiencing. I love this phone and am keeping it, warts and all. But from other forums I'm getting the feeling that the Verizon model has a lot more issues than other models. My main gripe is I'm getting a total freeze of my phone, nothing happens on screen and button taps do nothing at all, this lasts for about a minute then the phone comes back, but everything runs very very slowly, then eventually it will run normally again. I'm also seeing a ton of lag, specifically something will run or animate very slowly and stutters, like for example if I close an app the animation of it shrinking can sometimes be fast and smooth, other times it's slow and stutters to the point where you can almost count the frames. My wife has a Note 7 as well and she had one episode where she was using WhatsApp, her phone completely froze on her and then after a minute or so just rebooted.
I've also had issues with wifi calling dropping calls left and right. I've had issues with the phone not wanting to switch from a weak crappy wifi signal to cellular. GPS was dropping a lot initially, but I haven't seen that issue lately. Battery life overall hasn't been stellar, but I hope that just means it is still breaking in.

I'm on Verizon and experiencing the same crap.. love this phone as well. I have disabled all the bloatware too

i have experienced the same i am not sure what gives but i hope an optimization patch is released for it soon.

Totally agree. I got the Moto Z about 3 weeks before Note launch and that phone is fast. I figured the Note would be just as fast. Nope. The Moto is very fast to unlock with fingerprint. Note has some delay and goes to lock screen then open. Bit hokey if you ask me. I get a lot of lag doing normal things. Was using Nova, thought that might be it so went back to samsungs launcher. Kinda helped. Just does not have the zip I thought it would. Might forgo the s pen and swap with my wife. Hopefully N will help, but we all know VZW will f that up too.

Lol so how do we figure out screen on time then because according to you if i go into my battery settings and it shows screen on 9 hours that isnt possible

My phone is running buttery smooth! Slightly over 2 days battery life! No complaints.
For those with the issues, try a factory reset and dont disable anything. Run the phone and see if it still happens. If so then you have gotten bad phones.

I'm just now reading about some of these issues people are having. I've got a pre order phone. Delivered on the 19th. It's been a dream from day 1. Better than my note 5 by far. My 5 was dropping calls and battery dying in a day. Haven't dropped a call nor run out of battery. My s6 edge plus was horrible. Only had it for a day. This looked similar so I was a bit nervous. Other than it having an issue with either the gear app our the bluetooth sending ringtone to my gear s2 on all calls regardless of ringer settings I've got zero complaints.

I haven't had any of these issues on my Note 7. I have had it one week now. Battery life is decent, but I don't know what the stats look like since I am always near a charger. I took the ota halfway through the week and it didn't seem to affect anything one way or the other.
