I've been playing around with the nexus 7 for around two days now and noticed huge amounts of lag everywhere. From the menus to browsing and even gaming.
I tried Modern Combat 3 and it just stutters so bad and the frame rate drops are huge, even my galaxy s2 performed better than this.
I bought the new Batman game yesterday and that was exactly the same. In game play it lags and stutters too much to be even playable.
I have installed the latest update and even did a factory reset and it has made no difference. The thing is I watched someone playing Modern Combat 3 on the nexus 7 on YouTube and it was flawless, is there something wrong with
my unit or has the update done something?
P.S I tried Dead Trigger, Puddle THD, Dark Meadow and all are the same

I get lag on Sonic Episode 2 THD but nothing else, I thought this game was optimised for tegra 3?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
No lag at all on anygames. Especially tegra3 optiMized ones.
One thing I noticed though. I noticed yesterday it seemed all My games had a brief pause every few seconds. I was like wtf is going on, wasn't like that before. I started thinking something happened from me unlocking and rooting. So I look through my apps to see what could be causing it. Low and behold the force rotation app I had. I had it set to force auto rotation. So I changed it to normal auto rotation. It solved the issue. The forced auto rotation was causing issues with my games. Putting it back on normal auto rotation put everything back to normal.

Hey everyone,
I have been playing games like Shadowgun (non tegra optimized version), Mass Effect and Dead Trigger, and the games look and run great except for one issue... the frame rate appears very choppy when doing slow/precise movements with the right thumb. For example, when I load up Shadowgun or Mass Effect and just slowly move my right thumb to move the camera, the movement is not smooth at all. The camera moves in a large choppy imprecise way. Is this normal? Am I just expecting too much out of this device? If its not normal how do I fix it?

I posted about this in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29095910&postcount=44
I fixed most of the issues when I installed a CM10 kang.
The only issue I have noticed since is what you're describing. The screen chops a bit with very slow precise movements. I wonder if that's just how it is on this LCD panel.
Interesting... I don't think my issue is dead spots necessarily. I looked at your video in the other thread and I don't have that problem. Mine is more just related to choppy camera movement in games. I'll try to take a video eventually. I found that turning down look/aim sensitivity in the game options usually helps make it smoother as the cost of slower controls, bit at least I can tweak it a bit that way.

In Dead Trigger the aiming isn't very smooth, but it is in MC3. Seems like a game problem too me.

The choppy aiming in dead trigger with small movements seems like a new problem in the 1.10 version. Hopefully they fix it.

Hi, anyone experiencing video playback occasional stuttering? I did a factory reset and its still the same :/
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk 2
Nobody having the same problem guys? It's definitely not because of my Internet connection since its really fast.
What I'm afraid of is that there's a problem with the processor or graphics chip. I've tried playing HD videos from my micro sd card and all is smooth.
Any inputs? I only have 7 days to bring this back to the shop to swap for another set and it's day 3 already :/

I think if you play HD videos from your card and this is working good that there.is no problem with your processor.or.grapics.
Have you played a heavy game?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Don't know if this helps you at all, probably not, but I've been having alot of stuttering on youtube on my pc for the last couple of days.
Can't watch any video unless it's fully loaded, which is slow atm, and even then it stutters a bit. Might be a problem on their side.
Hello
I have exactly samme problem.
I am getting used to it even though it is annoying.
Best regards

Just noted that I have maybe a defective screen (or GPU?).
Sometimes when using apps like XDA, browsing or apps with a lot of white background I noticed black lines (1pixel width).
When you holding in portrait mode their appear on the bottom side of he screen, and are horizontal. Always very fast, they appear and then go very fast. Sometimes its only one horizontal line,sometimes two.
When you hold in landscape mode they appear on the whole screen (vertical lines). It happened to me know two times while typing this post.
I'm full stock, not rooted. I have the power plug on and charging, maybe some power oscillation? Will see if happens without charger.

I thought I was going crazy when I noticed this! I legitimately see black lines down the screen for about a second just slightly out of my peripheral, and then they're gone.
Happens on xda and chrome, it's a known problem. Some people say other kernels help get rid of it. I think it's just a software bug.

Same issue here.

I also noticed these kind of lines. It happened while watching some videos on YouTube. Also on XDA, portrait mode, on the upper side of the screen. Anyone has a software solution for this? I am just afraid not to get some permanent lines like this.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
So... seems like that the problem appears for me only when I'm charging.
Anyone can confirm that the lines appears without charger plugged in?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes, the lines appear without charging.

Happens to my Nexus 7 also. They appear very briefly, like for half a second. Usually in the bottom half of the screen (I can't even tell if it appears at the same spot - it appears so briefly, but I do think I have seen it once or twice in the upper half). I have seen it on xda app, Tapatalk app, and Chrome blank page. I think I may have seen it on the home screen also.
On my Tapatalk app I turned the background to dark gray and font to white, but I have still seen it 1-2 times, so it doesn't just happen with white backgrounds.
Don't know if its a software issue and can be fixed with updates or should I get it exchanged? It will be hard to make the store understand what the problem is since it is quite rare, happens to me only a couple of times a day or so (although I have been playing Angry Birds extensively recently to see if it app specific or not, and I have yet to see on Angry Birds - I actually have not seen it anywhere for the last couple of days since I started playing AB).
I only get them in the Tapatalk app. And it doesn't happen often enough to be annoying so I don't really care.
Here here!!
Had them on Tapatalk, dolphin browser and on Plume to name a few. Like others said though, they ain't frequent tto become a PITA but are still noticeable.

I swear these threads are going to appear every week talking about the same problems that have already been discussed many times over.
As said many times before, this is a common issue with tegra 3. The one x line flickering was fixed with an update.
Or you can download a custom kernel with an increased panel clock rate and be happy.
So anybody else have screen raise on the left or is it just me???? just messing.

Saw it on Angry Birds too. So its just not on xda or Tapatalk apps.

A custom kernel does fix it. I had this problem until I flashed the motley kernel and it went away. Then I when I went to the paranoid android ROM I didn't know at the time but it changed my kernel back to stock... I didn't realize it had changed until I noticed the lines again. So far I have used the Trinity kernel and motely's and both have solved the screen tearing problem. If you don't want to flash a custom kernel I'm sure google will fix it in a future update. Thankfully its not a hardware problem.

Yep, I've seen it happen with the xda app, and it looks like it flickers a line for a second and goes away.
i have this as well, a dark horizontal line appears in a flash of second at random time and place, i thot it is the flicker issue ppl talked about?
but i dont have the whole screen flicker tho i have tried google map zooming or panning with gps on and weak wifi signal and auto brightness off and 15%

I personally haven't noticed any lag but thought it might be worth sharing here.
sorry if its already been shared
I don't really notice a difference.
The typical Android hiccups are still there.

What's lag?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I don't experience any lag at all from this device (and didn't on my S2 running Cyanogenmod for that matter either).
No lag to report on the Nexus 4... But interesting read nonetheless. Might use it on the Galaxy S2 (Which DOES lag, even though some say it doesn't. Compare both N4 and S2 side by side... It's painful to watch)
Is this like jet lag?
Who Lag?
More like turbo lag
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
No lag here on this badboy!
The lag is from the way Android was designed originally. Not all apps are even optimized for the platform and others are quick ports from other platforms. Also they are still lacking with hardware to software optimizations.

The're some apps which are lagging. But the Nexus4 itself? Bullsh**!!!
Smoothest Android phone ever (just compare to the Note 2, this phone lags!)

Agreed. It may be the applications that lag but not the system itself. I have yet to see a hiccup when browsing through my Nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
There are some pretty awful frame drops when using the device in landscape, especially in the app drawer. I wonder if this fixes that.

Don't lie.
The Nexus 4 might be the smoothest Android device, but it is still lagging compared to other systems like iOS or WP 7/8

Compared to my iPhone 4 the N4's browser is like internet explorer vs chrome.
Sounds like snake oil. Androids remaining lag is too deeply rooted to be squashed with some shell code parlor trick. Android gives content fetching more priority than rendering the UI, it's something that Google has to take care of by rewriting the framework. Ios does this beautifully btw, it doesn't need 4 cores for fluid scrolling and even with 4 cores nexus can't touch it ... yet.

My friends. I'm very frustrated. I've buyed the game "The Dark Knight Rises" on google play. But the game on our phone is too Laggy! It's not a game that you can call a Tegra 3 Game. The same occurs on the Game " The Amazing Spider Man".
Maybe is a bug on our phone:? Or bug from the game?
My ROM is V10H. Anyone is frustrated too?
I got it when it was on sale for 0,25€ and it didn't lag at all. Dont know about newest updates because i never play anything on my phone.
Sent from my LG-P880
I have both games..spiderman is very smooth, however batman is little lagy in the begining but later i feel it run just fine.
Have you updated your OS to your regions latest version? Games are lagy for some but in most cases updating os to latest version solves there problem.
Like mine nfs mw run quite smooth and currently shadow gun deadzone is my fav - on high detail display run way to smooth.
