Hi all,
I recently upgraded to 4.2q on my Nexus 7, and I experienced a lot of lag on it. I was browsing the Internet, and I found this on the internet which has worked well for me, and now I have no lag. I don't know if this has already been posted here.
This is what I found on the internet:
"If you’re one of the poor users experiencing major lag on your Nexus 7 after the Android 4.2 update, here’s what you can do to remedy the situation:
Open your app drawer
Open Google Currents
Click the three dots in the top right corner of the app
Tap “Settings”
Uncheck “Enable Background Sync”
Reboot your Nexus 7
That’s it. You shouldn’t experience anymore lag and you probably won’t even need to reboot. For me the difference was night and day. I went an extra step and disabled the app completely just in case. If you want to disable Google Currents for good measure, you can do so by going into your main Settings menu, clicking Apps, swiping to the All category, clicking Google Currents, and then clicking Disable. (If you do this you won’t be able to use Google Currents anymore, but at least your Nexus 7 will be back to normal."
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Corey

WOW
really? google currents is what is lagging everyone on 4.2?
thats weird , totally weird to be that reason and....totally weird easy solution, think your gonna get many thanks for this well done for the find!
still on 4.1 here cos heard of laggy issues , when i do update ill remember this though :highfive::good:
ps. might be good to let the guys in "androidforums" know too:good:
Could be why I have never seen the lag. I always have Currents sync unchecked in my Google account since I don't use it.
If this really works, it is the most representative of the issue I have with Android. How is a normal user going to monitor all apps and deduce what app or setting is causing the issue. So... does this really work or is it just imagination?
read that this morning on Drippler ... Can't believe thats the fix! haha Thats awesome
I read this on Drippler too, disabled currents background sync, and have noticed the significant improvement. Im surprised there arnt task managers to identify such a promlem. I thought these rooters and flashers could run terminal commands. No one ran ps?

thx it works
This doesn't cure lag across the board, I suspect my continuing lag issues are due to having added a user.
Added account for my GF so she could see how nice jelly bean is and that iOS doesn't rule the world, and the more she's used it more laggy my use of n7 has become.
Ok I can fix by deleting it but its quite a serious issue so hope Google fix quick.

Grats! Least useful post I have seen on this forum.
I actually get no lag at all on my nexus 7.
Used "forever gone (SD card cleaner)" from the market after updating.
Currents sync was already disabled prior to my update. It was an issue since 4.1 that's noting new and just part of the reason for the lag.
Forever Gone fixed my lag and I'm happy.

it's pretty sad that there's only 45 votes on this issue. Here's a hint: bugs won't get fixed if people don't speak up about them. And don't think your voice exactly resonates here on XDA.

Maybe most of us just don't consider it a problem that needs fixing? I get bounce back on a number of different screens but I just swipe again, the world is not going to end because of it.

While agree it's not the end of the world, it's a complaint I see often here in kernel and ROM threads. While a lot of it is due to wonky behavior due to OC (either CPU or GPU), it's really just exacerbating an issue that is already present.
Besides, UI bugs are some of the most prevalent and immediately noticeable to more "common" end users. While functionally it's not debilitating, it's an aesthetic scar that doesn't need to be there.

Hmmm.. So I assume it doesn't matter that I need exactly 15 seconds everytime I get a notification to pull down the status bar, caused by flipbacks. Okay I'm like 1000% sure Google noticed it anyway, cause its on most devices, also 100% stock ones (like me) so...

If it would bounce back after a reboot one time, I wouldn't care, but its always there, it doesn't matter what I do, it bounces every time... So its a bit annoying.. This is the only thing which sometimes makes me want to throw the 7 at a wall...

Thanks OP, have added my star.
I had not noticed this problem but I was intrigued.
I could not duplicate the problem, but I am using Apex launcher, not the stock launcher. Does the problem occur in all launchers? Also I am not using the stock ROM.
I wonder if this problem happens with only some units, or perhaps it relates to those user's expectations. Maybe they expect their device to react more quickly than it is able to.
Far be it for me to be dismissive of people's satisfaction with their devices, but that bug-report thread has a lot of problems. It contains over-reaching claims and supposed knowledge of the problem's causes and solutions.
Again, I don't write off these people's unhappiness but I personally would not star that issue.
i too have this problem when on stock rom..now on PA beta 9 with m-kernel, the problem still exist...and it's very annoying...i even thought there was a problem with my touch screen panel and sent it to asus for repair but when i got it back, the same problem still remains..
Not starring because it does not bother me.
Life has too many other issues to worry about having to occasionally re-swipe.
Now pop-up ads in the Yahoo app could get me started...

Well over 500 people have voted to say they have a shonky screen, either one fault, several or all listed.
If Asus & Google don't by now know that there is a serious problem with QC of the actual screen and with the build quality then no amount of petitioning will work.
I noticed this issue minutes after pulling this thing out of the box, this might not bother you people who casually use their tablets, but top those of us who have been using android since the G1 notice this. It bothers me so much that I am considering taking this junk back and using the money to get a real tablet from Samsung.
This issue is so annoying to me, I not only notice it on the stock launcher, but also Nova and Apex. Now, the launcher I can deal with, but where I becomes a deal breaker for me is the browser, whether it's chrome or the stock browser in CM10. Trying to scroll around the OS that requires some flicking reminds me of trying to flick scroll on a resistive touch screen, I think that best describes the issue.
I just wanna know if it's fixable through a software update or a hardware problem, cause if it's the latter, this thing is going back, and that's too bad because it was a Santa gift, so I'll have some explaining to do.......

As I stated (not in precise terms sorry) in the OP, it would be a mistake to think that xda threads are the first place companies like Google and Asus check to see what issues people are having. They have issue and bug trackers for a reason. The universe does not revolve around our little community.
Also, this issue pertains to the general consensus that touch screen issues (like bounce back) have become exacerbated on 4.2 and above. Not anything regarding physical QC issues (though, to be fair, may very well be the root cause, but that is an entirely different issue; the fact of the matter remains that anecdotally it appears the touchscreen responded better on 4.1.2)
And besides, I'm just looking out for the well being of this device's future. Reporting bugs on bug trackers is important to these developers.

Yea the notification bar is better on 4.2.2, but the launcher still does it, nova prime does it too, and even when on dolphin or boat browser sometimes when you flick it will scroll nicely & sometimes a flick wont move the page much at all, weird and annoying, would be a much better experience if it was fixed!
This is a huge issue for me. Is there a way to increase or decrease sensitivity? Maybe that would help.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Interesting, I thought I was the only one who had noticed this. Don't know why I haven't seen this thread earlier.
For me I solved this by using apex launcher, somehow you never get those annoying jumpbacks. I tried nova launcher as well but it worked as bad as the original launcher. Going to star tomorrow.

Auto-brightness has never worked right on any Android-device I have ever owned, it's the first thing I always turn to manual, and I doubt that'll change anytime soon.
If it were up to me, I would remove it from Android altogether.

Agreed. On my aging HTC Wildfire, still running FroYo, I have Auto-brightness disabled.
On my Nexus 7, I have both Auto-brightness and PRISM/SmartDimmer disabled.

Thats why I'm a huge fan of Xposed Framework and the Arch Linux model.

Why complain here? is anyone significant going read it.?
I think an explanation is what we need. Obviously it was a technical issue, but like every technical issue, Google leaves us in the dark and leaves us to speculate. I'd also like to know why we can't get a kernal higher than 3.1 when nvidia actually makes a 3.4 kernal too.

This bug does cause issues. It's something I've seen a lot and more noticeable with gaming and long up times on my devices.
Is there a way to get this new activeservices.java file and incorporate into stock 4.4.2 rom manually?
As you mention.. this bug causes many problems
edit.. from my limited understanding we just need an updated am.jar file with the fix?
It seems still not merged in here or am i wrong?
https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/81970/
Even if it could be already fixed in google internal branch, and not yet on AOSP
Anyway I found it absurd how much google care about some kinds of bugs..Its a little bug that can have a lot of annoiance for a user and google doesn't care at all to fix it as soon as possible..there are tons of other bug under the hood, that are ignored since years...
yeah, looks like Google have not verified it.. hmmm
anyway I found the activeservices.java file in services.jar... might have a go later on my pc with apktool and change that one line of code
though last time I messed with that tool it didn't like my 'amd' pc and borked the keys from framework resources file.. it was a year and a half ago or so, hope I can remember how I got it working
Do any of the custom ROMs here have the fix mentioned above?
Is this why most of the 3rd party apps I close remain "running" with 0.00B instead of caching the process?
It has been happening with Google apps as well. GPM and Hangouts for instance, which still manages to sleep through messages sometimes.

5.0.1 will definately be on the horizon, four patches per release seems to be the norm.

I think there was, and I do keep having connection issues so I'm not sure it's completely resolved. The actual WiFi issue was related to battery drainage and not connection drops. Still, you do get a sense it was rushed for the headlines/flagship launch, but it's backfiring in the press now unfortunately.
We got the memory leaks. That's the only one I am experiencing. 800MB system usages after about a day or 2. Not sure what app is triggering it.
I'm not having any issues. Wifi is fine. I took mine back to stock, took the OTA, & re-rooted. Battery is as good as KK, maybe better, but too early to tell really
I've done fresh image install. Maybe that reduces problems instead of OTA updates?
So far I'm not having any issues those are reported.

I suspect that the case myself. It's much like doing a clean Windows install on a computer vs upgrades.
Fresh install here. Absolutely zero wifi, battery, or any other issues. Runs buttery smooth. Only thing I've noticed is more stable bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth was sometimes flaky for me on KK.

Yeah me too. In fact one thing I was truly worried about was battery life after seeing all the negative reports on here. I actually think that has improved as well. Even with known killer apps such as FB & Runkeeper.

Yep I have had that issue reproduced too if you are talking about a mysterious process showing in recent apps. I saw on a article people reporting the package installer showing in recent apps. Although for me it shows the Android System process in recent apps. So it is an issue others are experiencing. Not a major issue, but a very weird and annoying one. You can see an article about it, and a video of it being reproduced right here.

Although for me it shows the Android System process in recent apps. So it is an issue others are experiencing. Not a major issue, but a very weird and annoying one. You can see an article about it, and a video of it being reproduced right here.

I hadn't noticed, but the package installer showed up in my recent apps earlier too. Strange.
The BBC Technology News looks to have it in for "Android" or a love of "free lunches". They have also reported on 21 Nov 'Sophisticated' Android malware hits phones - "Hundreds of thousands of Android phones have been infected with malware that uses handsets to send spam and buy event tickets in bulk." Reading the article you get plugs for 2 security firms and references back to 2012. The trojan "Notcompatible" has a great history on this site - I can find 1 thread with one post! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633957.
I'm not having any issues. Wifi is fine. I took mine back to stock, took
the OTA, & re-rooted. Battery is as good as KK, maybe better, but too
early to tell really
no issues except no led notification after missed call. Did a fresh install using factory images
I've got memory leak issue since the second preview. After more than 20 hours use, so many apps can not run in background. Can't believe that Google didn't fix this serious issue on final release.

Has anyone cleared recents and reopened them? That's the only issue I've found

I've also had a couple apps magically reappear after clearing everything in recents. LightFlow Lite also doesn't work well for notifications, but that's probably the apps fault. No, Lolly isn't perfect, but all new OS's go through growing pains.
