Hello,
I've updated my Nexus 7 first-gen recently to Android 5.0 and since than have spent a good amount of time using it. I use the tablet for work and fun through out my whole day, so snappiness is a big factor for me. With the 4.4 update, the tablet just got a lot slower, sometimes I needed to wait for a few seconds before I am able to kill a task. Clearing cache didn't fix the issue.
Made me think about that 5.0 update a lot. (Note that I actively started using the tablet only a few months ago. I had it for 2 years but broke the screen 3 weeks after buying it and only now I decided to repair it.)
The 5.0 update it self took a good 45 minutes. When I loaded it up for the first time, man it was buggy, I couldn't complete a single task without it bugging out. All of the Apps and settings were there untouched. The first thing I did, was go into recovery mode and cleared the cache. Then I cleared the cache for every individual app. And that boosted the performance by 100%. Next, the animations, I cut them down to 0.5x and turned on GPU rendering (just for testing) turns out that helped out a lot. I didn't notice a difference in load times, like some articles suggested.
However there are a few quirks, the sound lags behind the slider, so if I crank up the volume to MAX it will take a moment to do so. I often found my self having to tap the apps drawer button more than once to open it. And the killing of tasks is not as easy as before, now you have to slide from one side to the other in order to kill a task you can't just kick it to the side. Also, the auto-brightness is really aggressive so I disabled that. The WiFi status, when you click on a WiFi connection seems to be broken since in portrait mode all the letters are separated, and at first I couldn't make out any of it. And the biggest downer for me is the keyboard, I think they didn't do any favors with it. I have larger thumbs and it will take some time getting used to the keyboard. These are all small things, but they affect my experience.
Now the good stuff, where do I begin? The interface, it's great I like the design and the contrasts. Performance, I guess that's the biggest question since this is not exactly cutting edge hardware. To summarize it, it's good. I haven't had any issues since I cleared the cache, apps are running as they should, games as well, multitasking is as expected, fluid. Later on I switched the animations to 1.5x and 2.5x. no issues there. Boot up times, something completely irrelevant to me, but since there are people that would like to know, it takes around 30-40 seconds to boot up. However, Chrome is still the biggest enemy. If you want something to make your tablet miserable and make you wait and get frustrated because of it's unresponsiveness, you won't need to search far, just get Chrome.
All in all, the update was a step up, and an improvement.
These were my 2 cents on the subject. Hope it was of use to someone.
thanks for the review. I also updated a few days ago when the ota came through. So far, I'm experiencing terrible lag. I don't have anything stored on the N7 and don't have many apps. There is a ton of available storage on my 32gb. I did a factory rest about 3 months ago, as I like to every now and then to give the N7 a fresh start. I think I may have to yet again and keep my fingers crossed. Unfortunately, it's unusable at this point.
My experience has been variable, but not unexpected. In the past I have had issues with installing OTAs resulting in poor performance -- sluggish response to touch, certain apps immediately displayed odd lag, etc. Going from 4.4.4 to 5.0 was no different. So, I performed a factory reset and the effects were stark. The performance is exactly where you would expect it to be for Lollipop i.e. it is smooth.
HOWEVER, all is not well. There seems to be a set of problems that I suspect is related to Lollipop utilizing the ART runtime. Certain apps, even before performing a factory reset, were really really slow when running the first time. I have experienced this before: when I tried out ART when it became available on the Galaxy Nexus. Two common apps this occurs with are Facebook and Mint. Who's to blame? The app developers? Google? Don't know but hopefully these issues get resolved soon.

Ugh, that is quite an issue. Have you tried wiping the cache? You should check your usage, you might be able to find out what's hogging your system, unless it's the OS it self.

I also tried out the ART on some devices, mine were not even supported. There were a lot crashes but I also noticed some performance improvements.
Does factory reset also wipe the cache?
My Lollipop experience with my 16 GB WiFi-only Grouper isn't as good as yours. First, I thought I messed something up by rooting it with NRT, but after a manual factory image (flash-all.bat failed out of the box) without root it didn't get any better.
Most time its not as responsive as my N5, I've already had 1-2 minute hangs followed by hung apps (Google Search/GNL, system in most cases) and heavy lagging under most conditions. From time to time its getting close to 75-80% of the smoothness experienced on the N5 (which has better hardware, of course).
I have no idea what went wrong, I've already enabled 2D GPU hardware acceleration, but I'll definitely wipe the cache in recovery once more - you never know...
Thanks for the extensive review - Chrome is just a pain in the a** if you don't have at least 2 GB memory available.

I suggest wiping cache, because you get to keep your apps and settings.

One thing I forgot to mention is that after the cache wipe the tablet was fairly fast but I also went into Settings > Storage, and noticed I have a lot of app data which frankly shouldn't be that much. I then went and cleared cache manually on every app and as it turns out, I managed to scrape off another 1GB there. So, I'm not sure how that would affect the overhaul system performance but it sure helped me get the snappiness I have right now.
Looks like wiping the cache had an impact on performance. I wasn't able to play around much, but it definitely felt faster after first reboot.
Too bad I just noticed my user partion only had 6,x GB (8 GB image obviously) - there are so many ways you could f**k up an Android system - so I'll have to format user data once more, approximately the third or fourth time in the last week.
Sometimes I understand why people fancy those awful Apple devices, but let's hope the speed boost persists.
Go in and delete all the apps in system folder that can be installed from play store and are not needed. After installing the lollipop images you have 11mb in system which seems to be main cause of lag. I freed up like 160 mb and no lag or stuttering. Not sure why google kept things like dialer and other things unusable on the tablet in there.
Also get now launcher and delete launcher.
For even better performance get faux kernel (Set kernel up to his recommendations) and/or install aosp 5.0 F2FS with minimal 5.0 gapps.
Oh I do have a problem with WiFi being weaker on 5.0 though.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
i am getting terrible lag too. last week i updated with the OTA file. wiping the cache improved performance but only for a short time. i guess eventually if ii want the speed back on my 2012 nexus 7 i am going to have to root and go back to jellybean

Thanks, that sped up things significantly. It's definitely a memory problem, because event on full stock setup you're getting glances of Lollipop smoothness.
But WTH is Google delivering a potentially lagging factory image? Couldn't they just resize /system by default in order to fit in all apps nicely? Well, that's Android - if it doesn't work, you have tons of options to fix it.
After my old N7 screen broke, I got a new refurbished 16GB unit for about US$100.
Had some bootloader issue earlier while trying to flash lollipop, and had to revert back to 4.2.2. Then it got all the OTA up to lollipop, and is running really well since.
Loving it now, better than most non-lollipop newer tablets around...
Lollipop is big disappointment. I hate new notification (double swipe down to access settings)
I am back on 4.4.4 Slimkat rom with Legokernel and f2fs
now is system smooth without lags
Listening to some of the advice in this thread, I rebooted into Recovery and wiped cache (I did it 3 times, because why not, right?)
In addition, I went into the developer settings and turned OFF "Force GPU".
After doing both of those, my performance seems to have greatly improved (specifically Chrome, which was borderline unusable).
For reference, I flashed the factory image from 4.4.4, and didn't get it OTA.

Not any more! I have three new iOS devices and things are far, far worse since iOS 8 dropped. Apple now holds the lag crown. At least with Android you can revert back to earlier versions that worked. With Apple all you can do is whimper at the master's feet.

UTTER nonsense. Stop it. System being full affects nothing; it's read-only.
Is there a way to disable the storage encryption that is enabled by default? Disabling this apparently had huge performance upgrade for the nexus 6

understand what you are saying but after doing so i have no lag.
Have 2 x 2012 and both were lagging. After trying other things i deleted stuff in system and both are very smooth now. Very happy with them.
Even wiped and re installed one and just deleted stuff in system, to make sure it wasn't something else or a combo of things i did prior.
So from what I've seen disabling the encryption speeds up the N6. Is it anything I would see in day to day usage or just something I can measure with system speed tests?
Is there any reason I would NOT want to disable it? I'm just a normally daily user who plays on Facebook, reads forums and texts.
Also do I have to wipe the phone again to turn the encryption off? Thanks!

again. this "speed" that you are talking about, is not your actual phone itself. your reading and writing to your storage is slowed down a little, your actual phone is just as fast being encrypted as not being encrypted. it just how fast it reads and writes to your storage, thats all.

Yes I got that part and that is why I'm asking. I guess I should have said will it make things like playing games quicker due to loading speeds? Like standard SATA Vs. SSD etc on a computer.
I decrypted mine and it does save big files faster such as when I do a backup. It really depends on what you want out of your phone. I disabled mine because it kept causing TWRP to have issues when rebooting.
Hey guys,
My phone is running terribly slow lately, but I mean it seems like it is starting to crawl. My nexus 5 was very speedy, then when I got the nexus ^ I noticed that is was slower than the nexus 5 accessing menus and opening applications which I believe was due to encryption. I disabled encryption on my Nexus 6 and used for a while but then you lose over the air updates, so it turn a pain to update the phone afterwards. I ended up getting back to encrypted Android, got the marshmallow update, the phone since then start to get slower and slower, now sometime when you want to create a new note on evernote, the keyboard take ages to show.
Camera app it the worst, crashing constantly, barely usable to say the least . When it doesn;t crash it struggles like hell, freezes and then makes the phone unresponsive for a while.
Is this all due to encryption?
The whole reason I like nexus devices is to have vanilla android, no bull**** that makes the phone slow like on my previous samsung phones (note 1 and 2).
What are my options here? I'm thinking about a factory reset, but then again the pain of setting up all accounts, setting up apps, etc... I'm quite disappointed with the N6 at the moment, and would not even think about the N6P, anotehr device fully encrypted that is not that much different in the end considering I also paid full retail price on the N6 when it was released in the UK.
What do you guys think I could do?
Cheers!

no. its either due to your nexus 6 having issues hardware-wise or due to a terrible set up. my n6 is still encrypted and is probably the fastest n6 out there. yes, you can try a factory reset. that might be of help to your device. and a factory reset isnt a pain. when i factory reset, i log in and google restores all my settings, my wallpaper, and my apps. no hastle at all.

ahh, lol. thats not a real pain to me, so i have to log in to that app one time..
It's definitely not due to encryption. I ran unencrypted for a while, then accidentally encrypted after flashing a new stock ROM (duh...) and stuck with it for a while, then went back to unencrypted, then after my wife had her unencrypted phone stolen with all her stuff unprotected I decided that encryption is probably a safer more secure option, so I deliberately pressed the "Encrypt" button again.
I therefore have a pretty clear experience of the N6 in both states. There is no difference. Benchmarks may pick up milliseconds here and there, and say that unencrypted is 10% faster than encrypted, but in normal usage...? No difference at all, battery or performance.
I'm not trying to necro-post this, but I still have, and painfully had, the same issue with the Camera nowadays.
It was heavy and painful duiring my two weeks leave in July: I can't take photos, and when I took some of them in HDR+, while it was processing them, the phone was hanging, camera app crashing, phone unresponsive, photos lost due to camera app crashing or android crash and reboot, and when it wasn't Android, the phone was stuck and unresponsive and I just had to force shut it down.
Now, I hope these things will go away with Nougat, but the fear is still there and I always thought it was because of the Encryption.
Curious if anyone has figured this out yet. I have tried stock 6 and 7, Cyanogenmod 13 and 14 and turned encryption on and off. The phone always works well after a restart but starts lagging after a few weeks. Up and down scrolling, camera, app opening and closing etc. Restarting the phone seems to fix it for a few hours but it always comes back.
This is supposed to be a top of the line device. The hardware spec is still relevant today, why does it run like a dog after a while? I was thinking memory leak but there always seems to be enough left.
Hello my Note 4 is randomly rebooting all the time (it occurs randomly) and is slow (sometimes) when I use apps like messages, browsing the web etc...
I'm on the 6.0.1 marshmallow
I installed the clean master and battery saver apps and things were alittle better but it still is slow and restarts plus those apps are filled with spam and virus links so they will be deleted.
What are my options here to get this note running like new again?

First of all you delete apps like clean master and battery saver cuz this app killing your processor ram and battery .android 6.0 is very well optimized and it can handle everything without any 3rd party app. Just make factory reset,disable apps you dont use ,do not install junk or ram cleaning apps or even battery saving apps,android Marshmallow allready has doze feature that save battery while you are not using phone and goes to deep sleep. go to settings/battery/detail and you will see all apps are in doze.

Any answers on the gentleman's inquiry though? I have a T-mobile Galaxy Note 4, and after having the phone for 1 year and a half, all of a sudden it started acting up last Thursday while I was running my stock 5.0.1, I had it rooted and TWRP on it since I bought it. The phone was a GREAT acquisition and I've always been an Android guy and started to learn about flashing, rooting and XDA since I had my S, S2. I thought that by simply upgrading my 910T to the new MM 6.0.1 everything was going to be taken care of and fixed, but boy was I so wrong.
Could you shed some light on this issue on this great phone?

I think he answered pretty well. You should understand that these phones are, in essence, small computers. And like a computer, the phones will become fragmented and bog down overtime. The solution is a complete format of internal storage; wipe everything, format, cache and start from scratch. Odin is the best option so learn to use it if you haven't already.

Thanks for your reply, however I asked the question to the gentleman as he only said to remove all of those junk third party apps as they were more harmful than anything else. I appreciate the lecture on what constitutes a phone, but I am very aware of it as well as being comfortable of the use of Odin and the rest of the steps. I have already done all that you suggested and the issues still occur after a week. Once again, I appreciate your reply.

True! I stand corrected sir. I appreciate your assistance.
Hey guys, so today I tried a different battery cause my was bad and overheating and I can tell this one is good because it also is charging faster than before.
Now I did delete those apps clean master and battery saver like I said I would but I'm still getting random rebooting and slowness, one example would be I was typing a text and the phone took awhile to catch up to my typing and suddenly it restarted itself.
I'm not rooted and my rom is stock. Noticed today that my water indicator underneath the battery has triggered.
So I'm still looking for options...let me know, thanks.
I am still rocking a Samsung galaxy note 2. It isn't as fast as the oneplus 3t(obviously) but it seems to fair rather well. When it comes to simple operations.
What I mean is the oneplus 3t is benchmarking at 10-15x the performance, yet things like boot time are only 75% faster. Or 4x. I would imagine a boot time of around 10 seconds. Not 30 etc...
Anyone know what areas are phones bottlenecking at these days?
Note: I am running cm13 6.0.1 which is comparable to oxygen os currently on the oneplus 3t
A lof of different things for different usage patterns.
Main bottleneck I think today is storage. Processors are beyond what a daily user needs. GPU might be the culprit for gaming.
Booting times might be influenced also by encryption. Let's say a phone which doesnt have it can boot a lot faster, but it's less safe and so on.
Doing the math. I have a feeling CPU is the bottleneck for boot times.
I can't find a reason to encrypt my whole device. Could you explain why it isn't safe?

Coding and bugs might be a huge one. One poorly coded app or chunk of the OS can kill things for everything else, create wakelocks that aren't granted, etc. I doubt if encryption hurts any gizmo with the hardware support to handle it. File Systems, the hardware & software are huge bottlenecks. F2FS is very fast at certain things (writes) , but other filesystems do reads better. A Snapdragon 821 is plenty of power for pretty much anything. (unless you're a benchmark freak since benchmarks are designed to bring things to their knees). Really bad social networking apps like FB & TW & Inst (well, all of them) are terrible for everything (unless you like them and are willing to get 4000 notifications/s from make believe friends). Having 7 simultaneous power-saving apps running can cause slowdowns. Big ugly damned widgets that take up 5 launcher screens are problematic.
Mostly however, I feel that bottles and bottle caps are the largest creators of bottlenecks. (I hope I didn't actually write that). ;
I get that too many apps slow it down. I have minimized most my apps. And agree on social media issues. Etc... I'm pretty well versed on what to keep uninstalled etc... My question more so is how does a phone that is 10-15x faster still only boots about twice as fast?
Actually a great example is this video. Sure the apps load faster. And these aren't 100% fair comparisons. But I mean boot time hasn't improved. https://youtu.be/0ya8cdAfh8A

It's really a good question. One thing I've noticed over successive versions of Android is how many background apps are started during boot. By the time boot is just completed , there are about 160 apps running , ~90% of them that I can't intuit any reason for having started, and those apps all require similar resources.
I've got a loaded up old 2013 moto x running 4.4.2 that boots in about 10 seconds, a galaxy alpha with about 1/10th the power of the OP3t that boots 4 times as fast, and the 3t that takes about a minute to get to a usable screen. When I get there, (I'm rooted), I'm watching tons of notifications from apps that I don't use at all, ever, that are shooting off for about another minute. I'm beginning to think that the newer the OS , the more security of any sort from SELinux to encryption, the more gratuitous apps that're kicked off, the longer we wait.
Even my first or second boot prior to any software or additions by me, were pretty slow for such an amazing hunk of nice components. Sometime's I'm completely baffled by the way apps like Play Store work, and how many resources and wakelocks appear to be involved and they're always running.

Good video ! . And on top of the obvious amount of time to see a booted phone, those phones are all really busy in the background, to the point of not being able to be useful for another minute after you see it looks booted. I love that the note 7 took longer than the rest. Thanks for posting that.
It's when pure a AOSP ROM is well optimised, it will boot insanely quick without Gapps etc. But it's like most os from a cold boot there are many more boot checks, rechecks and processes that need to happen. This is a useful website https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-102546
