Flipboard performance problems

Has anyone else noticed that the framerate when "flipping" in Flipboard degrades occasionally?
This started happening to me recently and I'm really at a loss as to what could be causing it. It normally goes like this: After rebooting, the performance is fine (i.e. looks like its running at ~60fps). After closing the app / switching to another app and then returning to Flipboard, all animations become really choppy (looks like they're running at ~20fps).
The really frustrating part is that it never used to be a problem. I've tried uninstalling, clearing data, the old version, the new version, etc, etc. Nothing is fixing it. I'm trying to narrow down if something else that I installed is causing the slowdown, but so far nothing is making sense. Also, nothing else on my phone is experiencing any performance problems.
Anyone else have the same issue?

This happened to me when I first got my GS3 a month ago. Idk why but maybe there has been performance updates for the app - because Flipboard is buttery smooth now.

Are you running stock rom or custom or possibly aosp/aokp? Im on a stock rom and haven't had any issues with flipboard at all and use it nearly everyday

Count me in for no issues, on kyanROM with newest ktoonsez.

I can't prove it yet, but I have a theory that the problems may actually be caused by the Lightflow app.
Curious to know if there are any Flipboard + Lightflow users out there...

Lag after a day

So why does my phone start to lag after a day. No matter what ROM or kernel I am on, after about 20 hours my phone starts to lag. If I restart my phone all is good. Does anyone have an explanation? Is this a great 4.2.2 feature? This wasn't happening before that.

Is that even pure stock? There are several posts on this already. There isn't a genuine solution but some have suggested some ways to minimize lag on 4.2.2.

I have tried all sorts of ROMs.I will look for some of the other posts. Its just frustrating because I can get it to fly, but have to reboot 1-2 times a day.

Check your memory usage. I have this problem too - and it seems like my memory if full. Try to see what services run in the background and maybe you can stop some of them. Also look at 'Greenify' - it is an app that stops background processing for apps you don't want hanging in the background. It requires root, though.

do you use twrp? i had that problem until someone mentioned that twrp doesnt wipe completely and used cmw.

I installed greenify and will see in a day or so if it is working. Thanks for the tip.

would it be too much of apps running at the background and causing it lag?

I'm reading about this issue more and more everyday ... one solution i saw was that to install "Clean master" from Play store and clear cache with that to minimize lag i believe it only affects custom roms and not stock based roms :/

all of the sudden, lots of lag ...

I have rooted GN and i installed 4.2.2 on my devices like 2-3 months ago. It was working fine (Smooth like butter). Lately, I have started feel a lot of lag in everything. While its unlocking the screen, showing all apps, opening an app .. lags with in the game etc ...
Is there something that i can do to fix my phone without factory reset or re-installing the ROM ? I don't want to lose app data

Have u rebooted your phone since the flash? While using there's cache built that needs to be cleared with a reboot else the phone lags.

Freezing.

Does anyone have their tablet freeze randomly for a bit, and make it unresponsive for a while (few seconds)?
Or is this the touch screen issue everyone is talking about?

Occasionally, but then again, my first n7 does this loads, as well as my phone, probably an android problem Tbf, every device I've used, including apple products have occasional few seconds of hold ups

I've noticed this on mine as well... I think it has to do with the touchscreen issues. In some spots, I'll tap and there is a few milliseconds delay. In other spots, the taps are recognized immediately.

Mine has a few times on the YouTube app earlier today. First time experiencing it. Unresponsive and gets stuck. Can't even press back button soft key.
Clearly apps fauit since I press home and it goes back to normal. I have to kill the app nd restart again for it to work

me too...
but only when typing in the facebook app with Swiftkey (swiftkey seems to crash sometime... after 5-6 seconds freezing)
but it happened to me only 2 or 3 times in the last week.

Yup, this happens to me frequently, Especially when using Chrome. Freezes for about 10secods then resumes.

Use Chrome Beta as your default and just disable Chrome Stable. It doesn't happen on the Beta builds at all. The most recent Chrome Stable update has an issue within it.

yes this happens, and even turning the screen off won't register. it's a system wide freeze, not a touch screen issue.

This happens to all 4.3 builds including nexus 4...its a fault with aosp not device

yeah exactly my problem.

For me, the freezing occurs while I am using a browser such as dolphin or Chrome.

The devs in the Nexus 4 section have decided it has to do with the JSS build of 4.3 which is what we have as stock. Its not device specific and looks to be a big problem.

The freeze goes away for me with an alternate kernel.
I'm using Faux's and it's not doing it.
YMMV, of course.

What about drivers and kernel in this version? They fixed the main issues?

Fixed or are using workarounds

Wish the aosp browser wasn't crap on 4.4. Also wish WiFi autoconnect worked in 4.3. Its really annoying that it randomly stops working until you manually open the WiFi menu. It still occurs even on cm10.2.0

what exactly do you mean wifi auto connect fail? It has been auto connecting for me? do you mean auto connect as in walk home, phone detected wifi signal and automatically turn wifi on and connect? if thats the case then i have no idea as ive never tried to do so.
Anyways.........anyone know a good cm11 kernel? currently i am using stock kernel and maaaan its missing so many functions D:

testing since yesterday, the rom is stable and whitout problems, don't had crash etc, just have a glich when u take a screenshot (in the preview) but the captured immage is fine.
I think the only thing that must be fixed is the browser, some times is choppy, double tap for zoom sometimes don't works and the video preview don't work.
I'm not sure but i have noticed a slight battery drain, more than the 4.3 stock:good:

It doesn't happen in cm10.1 or 10.0. It started happening when google changed the wifi framework in 4.3 to the always on scanning. Even with that setting disabled the scanning is still glitched.

pretty stable nightly
Using CM11 nightly since yesterday. Had no issues except the screenshot preview. Screen shots are gettive saved correctly though. Also a little drop in battery life but maybe cause I am using it more. Is good for daily use.

I have flashed the nightly and there are 2 issues so far.
1. google now does not work
2. Spotify only plays 5 seconds then it goes mute while the playback continues.

I've found another issue: except for whatsapp and SMS I don't get any instant messaging notifications. Fb messenger as well as hangouts don't show anything in the status bar.
Funnily I use hangouts for SMS and it shows SMS...
Can someone confirm that?
Apart from that the only thing that really bugs me, is the glitch when playing music and powering off the screen. I would call it Playback-bug.
I dirtyflashed though. Too lazy to wipe, don't want to lose a lot of the stuff.
If nothing helps, I will wipe...

Its not the security thats the issue. The wifi radio stops autoscanning after deep sleep. Not everytime but enough to be a problem. I am not the only one with this issue.

Ive noticed this a lot lately as well.
My gnex is no longer on any carrier, strictly use on Wi-Fi now, and ever since 4.3 I experience same exact thing as you. (It also seems to randomly forget access points I've saved multiple times for no reason hahaha)
Haven't tried 4.4 to see if it persists yet
