[Q] Questions on newest PAC3 build

First off, kudos to Chilly for allowing me to use JB on my Dinc2. Thought I was going to be stuck on CM7 until an upgrade. Now, maybe I can use the upgrade so the teenage daughters will have fancyphones (a bill with four smartphones would be an ugly thing, though).
I flashed the newest PAC3 and wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing any of the few bugs I've run into (I first just updated, saw some of these problems so I wiped and installed, but they persisted).
1. SystemUI crashes: I saw a mention of this on the development thread, but it seems isolated? On that thread it was mentioned that it would restart, but mine doesn't always restart (or, at least, restart quickly). It seems like it will restart when there is a new notification, but not always. No particular pattern to when it crashes, either. I didn't have this problem on the May builds.
2. It seems like there is a longer-than-usual lag after disconnecting from WiFi before it picks up mobile data. Again, not something I noticed on the earlier builds. I use Tasker/Profile4Tasker with the CM profiles, and I thought it might have something to do with that, but I've got it set now so that all profiles allow mobile data.
Other than some general lagginess at startup on some apps, everything else seems to be working. The SystemUI crash is the biggest hurdle; it basically renders the phone unusable until it decides to restart or I reboot.

System ui is just the status bar and such nothing terminal or anything and yeah no telling when it will happen or what triggers it. I use a different launcher than trebuchet like apex or at times nova which helps semi with the lag. another way is also trickster mod from the play store to OC the kernel and apply at boot or even the "other" kernel thats floating around.. hey our phones ain't young anymore things slow down as we get older so will our phones... Yeah thanx to @chillybean our phones are Jelly Beaning like a boss

Thanks for the tips. I didn't realize another launcher might help with the lag....I actually was _not_ using one thinking it would have the opposite effect. I also am trying Trickster MOD.

Next Launcher 3D comments?

I'm trying out Next Launcher 3D trial version and I like what I see. However, I seemed to get into some reboots
and boot loops since I installed it. I'm wondering if it's just me or are there any known problem with it?
I read their facebook page and it seemed to cause some problem on the S4 (bootloops) but I couldn't
find anything related to Note 2 (but that doesn't mean it did not happen).
I'd appreciate all inputs. Thank you very much!

I use the paid version of this app, its my favorite launcher, i have had no issues, or reboots since i have had it on my phone. i would recommend it to anyone looking for a smooth launcher with ALOT of cool features.

paid version here, no problems...

I just tried the trial version on Google Play Store. Not sure if it's any different than the paid version.
Emails sent to the developers and also posted on their Facebook page went unanswered...
(if pre-sale support is that bad, I can imagine how post-sale support looks like )

If you look at their changes log, every single update has this line:
fixed some crashes.
So, yes, it's probably not just you...
I love how it looks and function, but waiting 15-30 seconds several times a day for it to reload because it crashed after unlocking the phone, is unacceptable.

Thanks. Yes I really like how it looks and it's fast. however, if they never responded to questions I can't see how I can give then my money

Non stock chrome issue/bug on g3?

Anyone else getting the bug on updated/non stock chrome that causing the browser to become blank or just stuck at the background color after it tried to load/reload the page you want to view?
This bug occur when I leave the chrome on for too long in the background with several tabs open or heavy web pages
The only way to fix this is by closing tabs and clearing the app itself from ram
This issue occur on both stable and beta version of chrome, any chrome other than the one provided with stock rom
Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix/solution?[emoji55]

me dude. i just had enough of it and removed the update and now it's all back to normal.

Yeah removing the update can fix it but then it defeat the purpose of having update capability, is there any way to make google aware of this?

I am also having this problem. The issue is known to Google, if you research it. We have to wait for an update to see it go away. It's a sad state of affairs. I like Chrome and now I can't use it. And it ruins my exp3ri3nce with my G3, as the problem is practically non-existent on my N7.

According to a google community thread, apparently this is not an lg g3 exclusive issue, this happened on other devices as well and look pretty random
Hopefully a fix soon come because I've tried other browsers and while some of them are nice but they tend to eat much more battery compared to chrome

[Q] Recent Apps lag

Is anyone else annoyed at the 2-3 second delay in showing recent apps that I experience from time to time. As a matter of fact it never opens very fast, at least 1-2 seconds. If so is there a fix our should I hope that when lollipop comes to the note 4 it will fix it.

There is a noticeable delay with mine as well.

Moved to Q&A.

This has happened to me but in every aspect of the phone. Rooted, no xposed, and only non-essential bloatware/update services uninstalled.
It is only for 1/2 a second or so, but the phone glitches like it is thinking hard then will complete the action. I even unrooted and reflashed my stock rom backup and still have it.
Probably going to return it today or tomorrow as my 14 day grace period ends. Pretty sad. I've tried just about everything to get it to stop and thought my stock rom would solve the problem, alas, no.

Still stock and not rooted (yet) and have the same annoying lag. Everything else is quick though.

It's the only issue i have with the phone, everything else has been great. I'm sure this will be addressed in a future update unless it's that way for a reason.

Same here. Hope they do something about it.

I've noticed mine is doing the same.. Is there a Task Manager app available that will allow you to see apps running in real time similar to that which comes with Windoze operating systems? In my opinion, this would help me see what is actually lagging when it does lag.

I found this from another thread here at XDA.. Am going to give it a shot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56320983&postcount=2

The link above is actually the fix for Xposed framework causing lag. Might help. Another help is turning off the animation which adds 1.5 seconds. Goto Settings/About phone/tap the build# several times until it declares you have developer options. Open developer options from the settings menu and find the animations and set to 0. Now the delay is down to one second even with Xposed framework. Solved.
One more thing, the build.prop may also need to be modified if running rooted stock. It took some googling and fixing but I finally got ADB working with the Starkissed kernel, ADB insecure and build.prop mods.

I don't have exposed installed and I have the lag as well. Watched and applied the fixes on this video and my Note 4 is way quicker! Totally amped!

I've tried all of that and I still get lag.

Strange, have you always had the same lag or has it gotten worse? After those few changes mine is very responsive. I'm also not using TouchWiz, I'm using Nova Launcher. Wonder if that makes a difference.
Are you rooted? I've heard some strange things about lag after rooting which does not make me happy. This is probably the longest I've gone without rooting and I'm getting the itch

Most likely from people doing things and using files intended for different models and wondering why crap doesnt work right amd coming back to the sprint forums with odd problems...... Scratch that itch, root and follow the steps mentioned on Numerous posts for getting rid of the lag.

Thumbs up Starbuck!
this phone out of the box does not lag . Rooting has nothing to do with it. IT'S what you have done either before or after rooting. Check yourselves gentleman it's something you have done..

The lag is better but not as smooth as my Note 3 on cm11.

I am the first to admit personal fault, and I'd like to admit fault as to something I've done, but I have Odin flashed the stock rom and recovery back on the phone, and the issue is still apparent. Maybe the phone is not properly wiping data on a factory reset(also wiped everything in TWRP before using Odin to wipe the phone) causing a file to stick around regardless of Odin, but it is troubling and annoying to say the least.
Since I'm out of the 14 day period, here is hoping we get a developer to build a unified AOSP ROM in the near future.

Question At A Glance Date and Weather

Seen some screenshots of people's home screen and the weather/temperature were also displayed together with the current date.
Mine only displays the date. even though the weather is enabled in the settings.
I thought maybe it was because my Location History was disabled in my Google account and I enabled it, open my Location and restarted my phone. However, the weather is still not yet displayed.
Anyone also experiencing/experienced this?
Were you able to solve it?

Man, Android 12 is just busted, I had it the other day when I wasn't rooted and I think a bit yesterday after resetting and rooting but now it's gone, and all of the options in at a glance are missing. It's a commonly known bug since the beta, and there are some fixes that work for some people but none of them work for me, only other option is a factory reset and man I just got all my stuff set up finally just to have to go through it again tomorrow probably

It seems to also mess a bit with other at a glance info which also shows up in the Google panel to the left in the home screen. My weather app also seems to be missing so I'll probably reset tomorrow much to my dismay.

Hi everybody !
Same problem here. At first, when I received my phone the At a glance widget doesn't show weather on main screen and lock screen. I finally make a factory reset and weather works like a charm for two days until this morning... and then, it's missing again !
I already tried to reboot my phone, open weather app separately and refresh it many times, nothing works.
You may notice that with the old widget (which you can add manually on your homescreen), the weather icon is working .
Can someone please help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Read a little bit in the internet and it seemed that the bug was with Android 12, not on the Pixel 6 itself.

Yes I noticed that too.
But I see lot of people with their widget working fine in this Pixel 6 forums (when they share their homescreen for example) so I thought this is more rare with Pixel 6.

Android 12 has been a buggy mess from the beginning. Google ironed out about 25 of the 100 known bugs, and when they released the phone, another 30 bugs came added on top.
Welcome to the 21st century beta-tester realm, where people cash out a grand and still have to play betatester free of charge, after buying an expensive tech product.
There are so many services and apps broken... my outlook still doesn't even want to show one singular E-Mail.. I have to revert to GMail to get anything moving...
Not to mention that the new UI is a joke and the notification panel is a joke and the settings menu now looks like something made by a color blind; on top of that? Now, even the old functions (the ones we already had!) are often or not broken. Google managed to botch this release of Android harder than even Microsoft botched W11, and that one is still a terribly buggy mess.
I already talked to Google about this and the only thing they stated about the third-party problems is "blabla, apps might need to be manually updated by the blablabla" - aha, and you mind telling me, why we had months and months of firmware testing and still even the big players like Microsoft won't even give a singular flying f*** to at least make their most basic apps function on a - well - most basic level? That's as much Googles fault as anyone else's. If your customers have a broken product because your marketplace players don't give a **** about your rules, you enforce those.
Just remember the Pixel 4 faceunlock API disaster... UP TO THIS POINT ABOUT 95% OF ALL APPS THAT OFFER FINGERPRINT UNLOCKING, DO NOT SUPPORT FACEUNLOCK!
I mean everybody here with a functioning brain knows why Google delayed Android 12 over and over again, and still all we got is a buggy mess.
Back to the drawing board, Google.
And stay there, until you come up with something good.
And by the way, give us back our beautiful Android 11 interface.
My eyes are functioning well, thank you. No need to have icons the size of the moon. And even if my eyes won't function well any more at some point, I'd rather get glasses, instead of making my phone's UI ugly and terribly looking.

I had noticed the other day my weather wasn't showing up in at-a-glance but it is right now, and I haven't rooted or done anything except possibly reboot at some point.

Hey guys, try the solutions in this thread. I've done this on my 4a5g and it works, so far going on 3 days straight. Only thing is that the temperature doesn't update as often but if you click on the widget it does. Hopefully we will see this fixed in the next update.
