Hey
just wanted to start a thread about the lag i've experienced on my nexus 7 and wanted to know who else has experienced it. With me its happened randomly a few times like ill exit an app then when i swipe through the home screen its really jerky. my unit isnt rooted, everything stock even the launcher.
So yeah if anyone has experienced it post BELOWWWWWWWW (ray william johnson voice) lol.
Just wanted to add this link http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37258 for people to visit to help raise awareness to Google about the issue.
Have you gotten the latest update?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Make sure you aren't using a 3rd party rotation app such as 'Ultimate Rotation Control'
also please update to 4.1.1
Not a single issue here... Google accomplished project butter in my opinion...
You may have an issue with the Tablet...

Trust me I wouldn't make this up. And your right but every time it happened I was no where near my phone. Yeah it was updated to 4.1.1. I've read a review in this thread about his not that smooth as well. I'd say download a few apps and try make it multi-task and let me know.

Who knows, you could have a defective unit. Probably not though, so maybe your best bet is keep your phone nearby for when it happens again. The only lag I'm willing to admit at this point is the stock keyboard and swiftkey, if you're a speedy typer. However, if you turn off "spell checker" (ridiculous that they haven't fixed it yet), then you should be fine.
No lag here, try a factory reset, i usually do a factory reset on all my new devices before setting them up.

My nexus 7 was lagging too, it was after i installed this one app. I uninstalled the app and it would still lag but only on the homescreen. I removed the play store media widget and the lag disappeared. I have about 8 widgets (constantly refreshing) and a live wallpaper and still lag free. If you still have that default media widget, try removing it.
Though I still see lag, mostly when im downloading apps or they're installing but once the app is done downloading/installiung the lag goes away. This same issue happens on pretty much every android device i've ever owned, even happens on my iphone so not a big deal.
I have this issue as well. The two times I noticed it I was browsing with chrome and the scrolling started to lag. I exited the app but I would still have lag throughout the device; it would also not recognize my touch all the time, I would have to click something multiple times. Not sure whats causing it.

I'm getting some lag too... Tomorrow I should receive my other unit from Google and ill try them both. It's sad cause my dual core nexus performs better
It lags because of the poor memory (poor i/o). This happened on the Transformer prime, the memory limited the device speed and lags when your either installing an app, uni stalling or transferring.
Also don't forget that especially on the first day tons of stuff gets synced in the background. When I setup my new devices the first day is almost laggy for some hours until all syncs are done.
Tegra devices doesn't have the greatest memory bandwith.

I been getting a lot of lag after playing any heavy game. N64oid Max Payne shadowgun gta3. I always have to reboot or the tablet is unusable. Its not really lag though its more like the touch screen only works 10 percent of the time you touch it until I reboot. Like if i try to drag an app around the desktop it just keeps dropping like I lifted my finger up. And it does it in any app after even if I kill all in memory. And I had mine since Friday its happened almost everytime.

Not seeing it here with Nexus 7 plugged into wall and switching between the built-in apps and also downloaded apps such Glow Ball, Soulcraft THD Beta, Google Voice, etc.
Are you guys seeing this with it running off of battery (possibly power profile/CPU throttling) or plugged in?
Looks like the latest Google Search update is testing always listening (lock screen, apps) for OK Google Hotword detection. Only for "certain accounts" at the moment though.
with Search 3.5 installed, certain Google accounts are now able to use “OK Google” Hotword detection in any screen, including the lock screen and third-party apps. Unfortunately, this feature is only available on a few accounts at the moment, but hopefully the rollout continues quickly.

I guess your account isn't one of the few.
Do you guys think it is just random accounts, or would these account holders know ahead of time that they have these special permissions? I'm assuming it's for accounts which signed up for some beta testing.
You are right. It might be for early beta testers.

Started working for me as soon as I installed the apk. Haven't done anything special as such to get it. You can get the hotword detection working from settings. Basically, it works exactly like a moto x except it doesn't work when the phone is both not being charged and also the screen is off. Waiting for custom hotwords now, "OK Google" seems kinda lame.
I read that it's being released in waves to different users and you also have to be on the latest Google play services 5.* But it is being rolled out in a back end search update in waves, few reports of users already having it.

I guess my account is part of "the few"??? I went to Google Settings -> Voice -> "OK Google" Detection and saw a few extra options including detect anywhere. Ticked those options and worked great even on Nova Launcher with Nova's native OK Google feature DISABLED.
I was watching an Android wear video on YouTube on my phone and with this turned on when the person in the video said "OK google" my phone heard it and tried to search.

Haha it's the "XBOX ON" issue all over again. I think maybe it should stop listening when the speaker is outputting sound since they're right next to each other.
Here's the link for the apk http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=f...1c8ecbba2b5ce81b6d0337194d149d219daab5a3b7513
Works great for me. Woohoo!
I noticed when I first got my Tab S that typing could bog down and start to lag after a while. Here are two things I've done to make typing much faster and more enjoyable:
1) ROOT REQUIRED: Using Wanam Xposed (free in market) disable DVFS in advanced settings. This is something Samsung implements to save battery life by throttling your CPU. Disable it and reboot.
2) Install THUMB KEYBOARD. Fast, light, excellent keyboard layouts for tablets, free themes and the best autocorrect I've ever used.
Try those and see if your typing experience doesn't improve.
UPDATE: There's a new app in the playstore called "DVFS Disabler" which may work better than the one built into Wanam Xposed. No idea but it is another option.
No problems here with typing lag using Stock keyboard and SwiftKey.

Excellent. Funny that nothing about my Tab S lagged except the typing part and then only after about 20 minutes of use. Regardless if you haven't tried THUMB KEYBOARD give it a shot lag or no. It really is great. The superior autocorrect alone should make typing faster.
Swiftkey is smooth for you? That app is a wreck for me on any device I've ever tried it. Not only laggy but does some very weird random word substitutions. Not a fan. YMMV.
Yes have always ended up using SwiftKey on my Android devices after trying stock and many others including thumb keyboard. SwiftKey has always been pretty spoton for word predictions too. As I said, not experienced any lagging after typing for long periods on my tab s.

Just stating the obvious really. Same with all apps. There's always going to be something that works better for one person than the other. Although I still do not get the lag that you get a after typing for long periods.

Are you sure DVFS is enabled on your tablet? If you have Wanam you can check it under advanced settings. Other than that no idea why that was the one thing I was getting lag with while I had no screen lag or stuttering. According to articles I have read DVFS can throttle CPU speeds by as much as half.
I'm not rooted and have no need to root as of yet.

Yep a lot of people love Swiftkey. Must be the way I type but it is always going haywire for me. I will type a word and then hit space. Instead of going forward it goes back to the middle of the word I just typed and starts typing the new word. A complete mess. When I want to delete one of these crazy double words it doesn't want to let me. Not just on the Tab S but any device I've tried it on.
Oh well.
swiftkey lags to all hell in hangouts on this tablet, but that's it. it's fine everywhere else really. hangouts just sucks in general compared to talk lol.. it's just such a jittery laggy app compared to how talk was. those were the days.

I just tried it on my 8.4 using SwiftKey as I was curious and didn't suffer any lag when typing. I tried both landscape and portrait modes. I'm not saying it doesn't lag for you, I just can't see it on my tab.
Maybe we have our keyboards set up differently. I have keyboard sounds and vibrations switched off on mine if that makes any difference?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I had sounds off and it still lagged. I've recently turned them on. but yeah in hangouts it lags bad. hangouts on the tablet sucks too because if I type stuff, randomly after hitting send the keyboard will drop down while other times it won't, and the conversation doesn't advance to show what I just typed... it's stuck on the last thing said unless I back out of the keyboard, then I can see it. hangouts just sucks lol

I have been using swype on my S3 and the Evo 4G before that. I have been a qwerty type'er since 1978 and never went the thumbs route or hunt and peck. I'll try two hand typing on the on screen keyboard as well as the others mentioned here. Will probably get the Samsung keyboard unless there is a better option for real typing. I'm pretty good a swype on the phone and non-tech folks are amazed.
I've been using SwiftKey with there version of Swype and like it a lot
The samsung kb isn't too bad, but I like the memory and cloud features of SwiftKey.
If I make fghjk a word on one device it is a word on all my devices and it migrates to my other new devices.
Hey guys. Appreciate the Swiftkey input but that's really not the subject of this thread.
Has anyone tried disabling DVFS and using THUMB KEYBOARD? If so I'd like to hear what you think. Lets get back on topic please.
For anyone that hasn't already heard, Google just released Allo. As of this post it is not on Google play yet, but I bring a link to the apk from India, who already have it.

hahahah awesome bro!
Another Google flop.
Why is it so....lacking?! Even reply from the notification is limited to the quick replies from allo. Google made replies from notification along with this app and Nougat, but didnt implement it correctly? This is a stripped down hangouts. Can't even use it for SMS. it just doesnt make any sense.....uninstalled in 15 minutes. Will reconsider if some minor, yet crucial tweaks are made.
With no sms integration. This isnt going to last very long. The fact that you can't have it like hangouts where it's both an sms and instant messaging is going to kill it. I hate. No loathe the fact that now I have to have yet another app for instant messaging and a separate app for sms
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Another useless google attempt. I don't use any google product if there is a good alternative. This company has so much user info it's scary.
Absolutely pointless! Uninstalled
If they add a web interface, it will replace Hangouts/SMS with those close to me very quickly because of the SMS fallback. But without a way to use it on other devices, I have no use for it.
This app is completely pointless. I don't care how pretty it is.
Whenever I sit and try my best to like an app, its usually gone for me in a day. The assistant is interesting, so maybe thats worth working with, but I will stick to my messaging app. I use pushbullet on my laptop so I can send/receive sms, still works well.
I really want to like it but if it can't be set as default SMS, doesn't auto backup my SMS, has no desktop client, doesn't import all my current messaging history I can't see myself using it. From the gripes I'm seeing around comment sections I know many feel the same.
I enjoy it for what it's worth, an IM client. Most of my friends and family are using it now so getting the most of it. Admittedly though, if your circle isn't into it becomes useless. The sms integration (?) is bizarre to say the least

It can't even pass the butter...
I was ery excited about this because i thought it was gonna be on par with imessage (before iOS10) But i was extremely disappointed to see the horrible SMS integration. Sure i can probably convince 2-3 of my friends to use it But i dont want to have to remember who has it and who does not.
Correct me if im wrong but i believe that during the demo at Google IO that they said for peope who do not have it it would post your google assistant stuff via MMS so that the people who your SMSing would see it.
I like it but with iMessage iOS10 update and the lack of SMS its really dumb.
