Dear XDA community,
i wish to share with all of you my experience about the Nexus 4 from Google.
Bought it two weeks ago and as far i used it there is lot of issues about that phone i was thinking Android need more time to understand and to finally find stability in an daily use...
First my experience with smartphone mobile :
Iphone 4 for 2 years > galaxy S3 > Note 2 > Nexus 4
Well first why change between a Note 2 to a N4 because of portability and not convenient for sport as i use my phone also as an MP3 and also in the pocket of a suit well look not that good and can disform ur pants or trousers for jeans baggy jogging is ok but not for SUIT! and try to run at gym with a > 5 inch size :cyclops:
I wanted a pure android Google experience so sold the note to get a nexus 4 16GB and some exra money for sure.
First:
The look : i really enjoy it with nice back glass very Cute and screen size is perfect but when u look more closer you can see some square when you change phone position nothing bad but it's a detail. With google case the phone look awesome!
The sound : too low and not crisp i just compared it with some other phones and some mp3 it sound very low and need to put poweramp with using preamp to have a correct sound at gym but distortion make it sound like Crap!
During conversation with audio headphone people have some trouble to hear me and same at my side need to put the sound to the top.
So as i am an audiophile very very sad about that!
Battery life : well another disapointment, can run a day with listening music with the audio boost of poweramp, phone call for work like around 20 phone call a day at minimum, some whatsap like apps surfing the web and playing a little bit games.
It s not an heavy use but need to put in charge very quickly especially if i dont put Juice Defender to cut my 3G data network.
The ecosystem : Well, it's another something i like to focus on, i live in a country ( China ) where google market is just open for free app so you cannot have all the app market to you, plus need to install some other market to get what you want to because google want you to use another country simcard to buy and download the most useful apps >>> that sucks cause sometimes it s full of bugs and virus!
My daily life use : need sometimes some reboot cause call cannot give a sound, for work it's painful.. Some app if you not careful drain your juice as hell like google plus 2 days ago with 45 pourcent of total battery use! Some crash and needed to back up reinstall everything cause get an error msgs every 2 minutes.
So today was really pissed by that phone and i m looking to have something else..
Iphone
Blackberry
Window Phone
Well as it's use for both personal life and work i need to balance but in my side i need Stability, Good sound quality for call and also music, portability i dont need a very big smarphone but like 4inch around..
Well i will be waiting a little bit before make my decision but that phone is not suit my need even if i was so happy to get it here in China but experience tells me that it's not for me.
Thanks and any advies is consider or comments...:crying::crying:
LOL "Windows Phone and blackberry".
Good luck with that. If you were disappionted with your N4, prepared to be REALLY disappointed with those phones, costing ALOT more...
I love my N4, it's the best phone I have ever had. Does everything I need, the battery life is good.
I'm wondering if all your problems aren't related to the dodgy apps that you get in China. Perhaps there is a battery drainer there or some malware.

Just because we prefer android does not mean that he will be disappointed in another OS. Some people do like and prefer other devices and operating systems. I agree I would be suspect of some 3rd party apps in chine though.

What you need is an iphone. It doesn't matter how bad it is, you'll love it because you paid a fortune for it.
a lot of battery issue can arrise from poor wifi / 3g signal. It can eat all battery in 2h if it is really bad. I know it doesn't help as you can't change the phone masts!
The sound is probably dependent on the software. I would be tempted to root and put custom rom, but sadly there is no stable version of cyanogen mod yet. I just have no idea...
but why did you get rid of S3?!
Battery life is awesome on the n4. Root it n flash harsh Franco or matrix kernel.. I get about 4-5 hours screen on time.

i get rid of S3 cause i got the sudden death syndrom ... so i ask samsung to give me a discount on their note 2 and they accept
Well i dont want use custom rom kernel i tried that before and you dont use your phone always trying something better and faster but appears some bugs in the end ... i tried already paranoid didnt like and for me the best one
RASBEAN + trinity kernel
so well i will try to think about keep or sell it ... just need some suggestions

You don't like roms, you dont like stock, you didnt like the s3 you didnt keep the note 2, So I assume you didnt like it either. Moved on from Iphone 4, so I assume you got sick of the baby hand hold interface.
Get a basic phone and move on. Something that flips open and has really big keys and no display. You don't want a smartphone. :silly:
This is actually very weird. After owning about 5 Android phones in history and guessing that I've experienced all (Have a Galaxy Nexus too), after using the Nexus 4 I was like.. I've been using Ancient Technology. The speed, the stability, the screen.. Everything is perfect for me!
No offense to the OP at all.
Everyone has different views
A
i will give a try until March to see if get better stability and so on ...
Of course there is lot of good things about android but the non-stability bothering me a lot ...
If battery drains and too many crash still got one today well for me no more android
Before that i will still give a shot.
But my eyes is also on new blackberry system and their q10
i just give my experience that s a fact the phone is just kind of a disapointment..
If you have a lot of crash, I think the best bet is to fully return to stock and see if crashing persists. If returning to stock fixes all crash, the next step is to try a custom kernel for a better battery life. Use wifi whenever you can to improve battery life. Personally I try to avoid too many mods, tweaks, and system altering applications to ensure stability. I agree that speaker output volume is somewhat low. Not sure on headphone though as I never tried it.
This dude complaining about effect visible in the light at the back of the phone? lol troll alert. And he is from China, installing Chinese apps (if you know what I mean) probably, causing battery drain.

See ya.
Close thread.
I was a hardcore blackberry user, last I had BB 9900 then jumped ship to iPhone 4s. Both phones are amazing but have a very restricted Eco system , no apps in case of blackberry and boring iPhone software.
Nexus 4 has the ease of a blackberry's and apps of an iPhone , plus extreme customization abilities.
I've had no issues to date with this phone , iPhone 4s used to crash a lot and blackberry I always had to reboot numerous times a day because third party apps used to cause problems within blackberry's software. No such issues to report for nexus 4 though.
Extremely satisfied

I think I will keep it and take a BB 9900 for work issue at lease I think I need just time to get used to it but I hate those troubles will see with updates coming I keep hope with people who get good feeling of it !!!
I am sure its got to do with the apps installed on the phone. I got all my apps from PLay Store and no problems at all. Running Stock.
Android is very much dependent on what you use on your phone. I use very few apps really, I think I have about 60 installed. Only the main ones, and only through the play store. I tend to avoid games as they always have dodgy notifications and background services running which eats battery, and sometimes face book and maps can drain battery, so best to disable these until they're needed.
Best experience I've had with a phone up til now. The volume and sound can be fixed with Beats Audio Installer from the play store. It really is excellent and the only real answer to low volume on Nexus 4.
Call quality and volume through ear piece on Nexus 4 is excellent and very loud and clear!

Agreed.
I came from HTC one x. I can say HTC screen is a little better than nexus 4 but for everything else, nexus 4 is da best.
I've been hearing that the One has issues similar to its predecessor, as far as browser multitasking. Has anyone had issues with the browser constantly refreshing when you leave, go to another app, and come back to it?
No such problem with my HTC One. Multitasked between apps and browser, different tabs stayed put(no auto-refreshing).

It does it a LOT on a dating site that I use, OKCupid (when accessing the desktop version of the site). I think it may possibly be related to the number of tabs one has open, as well. But certainly it's very annoying. I sometimes do a bit of browsing on London Underground trains. (You get about 20 seconds of wifi when the train is in a station!) What I'd like to be able to do is load up multiple pages in different tabs (each one opened as a new background tab) while the connection is up and then read them in the tunnels between stations; but it insists on refreshing each tab as you go back to it, and, as there's no connection in the tunnel, you can't actually read the page, even though it's fully downloaded and should be cached.
It does it pretty frequently. More with stock browser than with chrome though.

But that doesn't happen on my Chrome on my Note II... ever! Even if I press a link by mistake I can press back and it will be stored in cache, this is probably an HTC problem then, anyone else having this issue?
Nope. Not a problem for me. Always going back and forth on my browser. No issue there

I agree. I can't remember if it's because I swipe it away with the recent apps button.
But sometimes the browser panics on me and closes on it's own.

This was NEVER an issue specific to HTC or its software. The sooner people stop spreading the FUD the better.
The only reason Android will force the browser to clear its cache of a page is because it needs to. That is, it's running low on RAM due to other services/apps and needs more. Your browser is not considered a high-level process in the priority list (it's not a service, unlike many other apps), so it'll get hit more often than other apps.
So, the reason this crops up for some people more than others is simply due to what they have running in the background (services, such as Facebook, Trillian, GMail, etc etc). The more crap you run at the same time, the more likely it's going to run out of RAM. This is how it works for ANY Android phone going all the way back to the 2.0 days. It's ALSO how it works on iOS, BlackBerry 10, and webOS (except those platforms don't use a priority system). Also keep in mind that websites these days actually take up a significant amount of RAM, especially ones with heavy amounts of Javascript and retina-level graphics.
The HTC One has 2GB of RAM, which means you have quite a bit of RAM to work with before this happens, but how often it happens is always going to be determined by how you use it.

Thats false, it was an issue on the HTC One X, and thats why I went for the GS3 instead of the One X (that and battery life), and it was done on purpose by HTC, not sure if they "fixed" it or not since then.

No, it wasn't, no more than any other device with 1GB of RAM. I'm sure that's what you thought based on all the fud being spread at the time, but it wasn't true, as anyone who knows more about the internals would acknowledge.

A preference that had no influence apparently, since all it takes is a person with a task manager to confirm what I said was true.
This happens on my Nexus 4. Nothing new to see.

This is also BS. The evo lte I had always dumped the browser and this phone does it as well, even just going back and forth from the browser to the music app. The galaxy i switched to did not exhibit the same behavior. In fact, that thing would often keep the browser in memory till the NEXT DAY. This phone with 2gb ram (and 700 plus free) will dump my browser pages for nothing but time it seems

See, that's what's retarded to me. I too have also ran a heavy game and came back to the browser and my pages were still there. But let me play some music and come back a few minutes later and it's highly likely that it's been terminated
I don't use chrome because the stuttery scrolling. The stock browser is the smoothest I've ever used on android so I'm a bit smitten

Chrome doesn't have any scrolling lag for me on the One.
am using the official ICS and OMG its so stupid!
-it takes up to 8 seconds to open an app
-it drains my battery(8 hours maximum)
-it lags so much and some apps just end up crashing every now and then
-cant tether
-one cant manually toggle between 2G/3G/4G!
-is the processor of this phone really a duo core??????
Is there a better ROM??? or should i just sell off the phone??
Did you do a complete wipe/factory restore when you moved to ICS? I started out that way, and the ROM has always felt fine, and I believe there are reports from other users that had their gripes resolved when they restored from scratch.
I did a wipe but still the rom is so lagging!
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
i had some previous ICS experiences but you should try a few tricks. first, hold down the HOME KEY for about 3 seconds. an APP manager opens. you may have lots of apps that didnt close. hit STOP ALL.
Also notice that you can quickly pop between apps this way. you can kill an app by swiping its image sideways.
Second, in your drop down bar, organize your icons to have the WIFI and DATA buttons quickly available. The DATA is a really battery drainer. if your not using it, turn it off. if your not using wifi, turn it off. your battery can last 2+ days with both turned off.
With Gingerbread, i had issues with the wifi not connecting after the phone was on for a day or so. all that seems to be fixed with ICS. I used to have to reboot the phone 2-3 times a day to fix this. I rarely ever reboot it now.
If you decide to sell off the phone, i know at&t will give you $100 for it as a trade in. I think the used phones are going for about $90 on ebay now
hope that helps!
I've used many devices with ICS and this one byfar takes the tard cake.
I am having the same thing here. seems like getting slower after using for few days.
Worst ROM I have ever used

I recently got this phone and have been expirimenting with the official stock rom while rooted. It is offensively slow and I believe lg recruited satan to invent the rom and make me kill myself. Either way, a few things that actually worked for me are the following:
Startup manager from the android market, disable all lg/ startup applications under system. This singlehandedly decreased my boot time by about a minute and makes everything much smoother.
rescan media root from the market, use it to disable media scanning. For some reason, the media scanner on stock ics sucks for me, and makes the entire phone unusable. Disabling it with this app also increased my boot time and made the phone run better.
V6 supercharger with kick ass kernelizer and patched services.jar and unledded minfrees. Google v6 supercharger, its the first result.
I still have problems like op describes, sometimes the phone will freeze for four to eight seconds while doing something and takes time to catch up to itself. Not sure why, or how to fix it.
Are you sure about that, I actually flashed ICS on my Thrill and It rocks!!!!!!
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
If you are sure it is not a bad flash, try Supercharger and Ultimatic .jar tools mod over in General Android Dev and Hacks like teebuddy said. Kills lag like no other mod. Also uninstall unneeded apps to free up memory. This phone is 3+ yrs old now.
Or use a better optimized custom ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
lol glad I am not the only one.
This phone is a piece of garbage.
My first visit to the forum in months.
I signed up to install ICS official hoping for improvements. It brought me some features. Did it make the phone better? Nope, probably worse.
Phone is laggy and my internal storage isn't even full.
Sometimes opening an app takes 4-6 seconds, other times an app freezes and the buttons on the bottom of the phone do not respond.
Sometimes when in an app it goes black and then takes forever to respond again.
I upgrade to ICS and lose tethering which was a nice feature. I would rather lose 3D which is the biggest gimmick ever.
This phone is beyond pathetic! I have an iPhone 4 which is a single core and runs smooth as BUTTER. I prefer Android OS but LG Optimus 3D sucks.
There is no hope for this pathetic phone now. Once my contract expires next year I will try to sell it.

Not sure what you are talking about.
I got the phone in 2011 when it came out. There weren't many options. The contract is 3 years, so it expires summer 2014.
Not sure where you live but contracts were 3 years and only changed to 2 years this July. Anyone before July still has to finish their contract or they can cancel.
The phone sucks period. It is worse than my friends Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and my Uncle's iPhone 4.

That is also ironic.
It's taken a lot of digging to actually find other people complaining about the lagginess of the device.
I'm currently on stock AT&T ICS after custom flashing it god knows how many times. Super-bricked to restored.
I find the current ICS implementation crazy for how little room it leaves on the device.
I've been able to get the device running a TAD smoother by disabling (Yay ICS disable feature) most of the AT&T junk. The reason the device lags so much, especially compared to other devices, is squarely on the lack of RAM. It has 256MB compared to other devices (like the Evo 3D) which have 512MB.
I know the CPU itself isn't crappy, because games like Asphalt 6 look AND RUN fantastic. If it was garbage, the game would run like garbage.
So anything you can do on the device to prevent apps running in the background will help. Otherwise it's spending a LOT of time closing apps because so much of the RAM is used.

Hi,
I've had some really bad experience with the HTC One and Android overall in the last few years.
Starting with the Samsung Galaxy S, then going through the HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3, and now HTC One, I've got one thing that really annoys me. The stutter/lag in every single third party apps. I tried doing many things, like enabling 'force gpu rendering', and changing roms, but I could never get rid of that 'lag'. Many people don't see it as a problem, but it is really annoying for me as an iPhone user, where my 4S is extremely fluid and stutter free compared to the One. Now, some people have told me that going from an iPhone to Android will mean that things like this will be apparent for me instantly, and they will annoy me. But I can't believe that this is the case with all Android phones, I mean after all they all cost just as much as iPhone does, so they should work just as well?
I really like android as an operating system, iOS is too closed. So I'd rather not go back to the iPhone for that, but the lag and bad animations bother me so much that I am actually considering returning the One.
So my question is - is there anything I can do to get rid of the stutter/lag ?

Yes Android Does have bug and lag but its getting a lot better compare to 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 4.0 4.1 4.2 each update has improved whole OS bit better, but still needs more time to mature but same time İOS or Windows Phone is very limited so i assume more thing to do means more codes and more codes mean more fault. İ have HTC One and İphone 5 but HTC One feels faster than İphone 5 in my eyes but another fact is Android needs more power so maybe next chipsets like S800 or Tegra 4 may make transaction more smoother. Android is not best idea on budget smartphone cos as i said needs more power.
There are a lot of rumours that Android Key Lime Pime will be more smoother and less power hungry need to wait and see but enjoy whole experience of android its free and open its getting better every day
sorry for bad spell etc
As a past user of an iPhone 4s and current user of a HTC one, lag is way more prevalent in the 4s.Examples 1.Open the app store. 2. Switch between apps a couple times. 3. Swipe to the search screen. The one never lags for me. Ever. I'm a pretty intensive user with lots of apps running at once. Not to mention the speed at which the one works compared to the iPhone. It still has awesome animations but does them faster. Seriously you must have some rogue app going crazy in the background or something.

I have the same feeling.
I've owned over 10 android devices and an iPhone 4 and 5, and when I'm on an iPhone I hate that I'm not able to do anything... and while when I'm on an Android phone I LOATHE the constant stutter/lag/inconcistancy.
You can't have your cake and eat it too... I guess.
EDIT: To answer your quesion: no, you can't.
EDIT2: just thought of WebOS, smooth, whith it's modding repositories *starts wheeping*

Now, some people have told me that going from an iPhone to Android will mean that things like this will be apparent for me instantly, and they will annoy me.

hold an iPhone and an android phone side by side, the difference will be noticeble to everyone.
I think the OP is referring to apps that haven't yet been optimized for the 1920x1080 screen of the One and the S4. Animations such as those in Words with Friends look jerky in comparison with the iOS counterpart. It may be something you'll need to learn to live with. With Android phones of all different sizes out there, you're never going to get 100% app compatibility.

Like I said I can' t see any stutter or lag, not in the default apps or sense at least
Well that is what my iFriends say - it stutters!!!!1 How can you not see that???? And yes, sometimes I do see it, and it is annoying.
Some of us are more sensitive, some don't even notice. Most of the time I think it is because of loading content while scrolling. If you open a web page, or any internet dependent app, it will pull new content when you scroll to the end, an then inevitably some time is spent on arranging layout, loading jpegs and so on. iOS does it in advance, and is even making some kind of thumbnails all over system to smooth that out.
Could be wrong, but that is my conclusion so far.

like I said you need to give some specific examples of lag or stutter because I can't see it, not in sense nor in the stock apps. I can see lag and stutter for example in chrome (and new opera) but stock (and opera classic) are smooth, app drawer buttery smooth, settings buttery smooth, whatsapp smooth, blinkfeed smooth
Well I don't know now, really. Trying to forget about it, but name of this thread reminded me again
As I said - internet apps, not in system. Facebook, Engadget, Instagram, Cracked app... almost all third party web apps, not really important ones. It is app design flaw of some kind, you cant see that in system or system apps which are better made. On the bright side, this effect was horrible on LG O2x, which could just confirm my theory - One can load and arrange on-the-fly required data quicker.
It's not hard to understand that this effect is really not what anyone who bought the best Android device at the moment wants to see, no matter who's fault it is. Maybe that is the price we pay for system openness, and if that is the case - not a problem at all.

oh I don' t use any of those apps, mostly the stock ones and google apps and these are all buttery smooth (with the exception of chrome and sometime the play store).
I think these laggy apps all use webkit to draw their UI, webkit will lag the UI when loading, even on a powerful desktop. One of the chrome devs congrateluted opera, when the switched to webkit how fluid they had made opera when presto was still loading, something which they hadn't figured out to do yet
what version of android do you have? i noticed stuttering in third party apps on 4.1.2, but was fixed in 4.2.2
i use tubemate, and it was unusable on 4.1.2, now it works perfectly

I'm currently on stock 4.1.2 from HTC, the European version for the HTC_001. I've also tried the Android Revolution HD 4.2.2, but the problem still persisted. It was better, but still not 'buttery smooth'.
As to when it happens - Sense is largely ok, when swiping through the screens you can't really see any lag. Unless going between the app launcher and the blinkfeed.
But it's mostly other apps, such as even the stock web browser, thet just stutter and lag when on some simple webpages, such as google, full amazon website, my banks, lloyds tsb, and pretty much every single web page is just slow and stutters when scrolling. Not to mention XDA-Developers, because this website is just on another level of stutter. lol
I've tried firefox, chrome, stock browser, and all of them have the same problem.
There are also apps, facebook, even the keyboard lags!
Now, I don't know about you, but I think it's the resolution that causes the problem. I'd rather have lower resolution with say, 300 ppi, which is not really noticeably worse than that of the One, and at the same time have an OS that does not suffer from these problems.
Because in all honesty, the ONE is actually more stuttery than SGS 1 was.. Now, that just can't be right!
I'm still hoping that somebody will come up with something that can fix it.
Because I'm really sensitive about this stuff myself, and love the idea of android at the same time. Not to mention the hardware of ONE.
But when using the phone, it immediately feels cheap and badly made when simple things like that occur on a phone costing as much as a 15 year old car!
So I think it'll be back to the iPhone for now. My contract on it ends in a year, so let's hope Google does some magic with Android, and maybe forces manufacturers to release properly optimized software. But I fear that's just wishful thinking.

You have an interesting way of exaggerating prices. I bought mine from Hong Kong, so maybe mine cost as much as a 14 year old car. Or perhaps a 15 year old car in good condition? Or maybe just within the range of usual Flagship phone prices?
If you're getting stuttering with certain apps, don't use them. Poorly made apps usually have alternatives.
So far, the only big app I'm getting stuttering with is the Chrome/Chrome Beta app. It would be nice if it wasn't there but, thanks to features like data compression saving me roughly 50% on data use, I can look past it. I also get it with the facebook app, but that is such a **** app.
There are probably some other apps I get it with but, to be completely honest, lag and stuttering hasn't been noticeable in my daily use. This phone is fast as hell... Faster even than a 15 year old car. What a deal!

What I was trying to say, that these phones cost extremely high amounts of money, and yet don't work properly.
I mean, having used Lumia 520 a few weeks ago for a few days, I can safely say that I would recommend that over the One, simply on the 'niceness of use'. And that phone costs £100 in the UK.. One costs over £450 at the cheapest.
As to the apps - I get that, but if you read my post, you'd know that I mentioned all of the popular apps, I try to stay away from the lesser known developers, as they tend not to do so much testing on their apps, and thus providing a terrible experience most of the time (not so much on iOS, as Apple does a lot of testing before they put the app up on the market, something that would be nice to have on android too).

some sites lag in some browsers some sites in all, some sites even lag on my powerful core i5 laptop running windows 8, sometimes it' s bug in the browser, sometimes a bug in the website. I'll bet you you will come across laggy sites on the iphone too. XDA is buttery smooth for me though (at least the forum, which I always watch in compact view and I hated the contextual search so I disabled that in forum preferences)
Honestly I've used android from the start back when the g1 was released. Going from that to the g2 now the HTC one. Even on my g2 on some Roms I barley had lag issues now on the one I don't see any stutter or lag or slow downs.. But I guess that's just me.

I don't think it's a problem with my particular device though.
I've watched many reviews online, and the very same things that happened on my device were happening on those being reviewed.
Things like:
When browsing google images, you open one image and then swipe to look at the next one, htc one starts to render an animation and then 1/4th of the way just stutters to the picture. On the iPhone it's just a nice, fluid animation.
Another, the original keyboard is rather bad, you press a key, and the pop up with letter comes on, you depress the key and the preview is still there for at least half a second.
Also, a more general one - when you install something from the play store and try to browse for another app on it at the same time - it stutters beyond belief.
And sense one - where are the animations when closing an app/window? I feel like using windows Vista on a 2005 pc with 1gb ram..
It's very small things, but they do not happen on the iPhone, and I just feel like the experience is more pleasurable and consistent on iOS. Not to mention WP, which is even faster than iOS in my opinion.
The iPhone and WP may not be faster hardware wise, or performance wise even, but the animation, and transitions between doing things are just incredibly badly implemented on Android.
I'd rather see it being done like on the iPhone - when the phone is installing or doing something in the background, that action stops when you try and use the phone. That way, it may perform worse, and install the app slower, but the experience is really good, and no stutter occurs. Whereas android sort of tries to do everything at the same time.
But again, that may be just me being very bothered about things like this, most people don't see it as a problem, but it annoys the hell out of me, hence this thread. I was hoping that there is some tweak for the One that makes the experience more pleasurable whilst maybe decreasing the performance a little.
New Nexus 6 user here...
I'll get right to the point. Why is this thing a slug? Out of the box it feels slow, rips through battery, etc. Listening to Pandora and turning the phone causing the display to switch from portrait to landscape causes the music to stop for 1/2 second! Ridiculous!
I figured rooting/unlocking and flashing custom roms would fix it.
Decrypting did not do anything.
Some apps freeze or run like crap.
Really disappointed in this.
I have a Note 4 and it smokes it. These are nearly identical hardware wise and I'm disappointed.
Been through numerous formats, image restores, CM encrypting and formatting to remove, blah! It's really getting annoying.
I use and rely on an app called Radarscope for skywarn and it's basically unusuable on this phone. Panning/scrolling is so choppy (like seconds per frame!) that's un-usable. Is this a lollipop issue?
I know there's no goodies like Wanam, etc. because xposed runs on dalvik only. So what's the point of running such a buggy and unsupported OS?
Or is there something underlying that I'm missing / doing wrong here?

my nexus 6 is perfect, and fast as heck! what you can do is set your device up differently(as you can slow your device down by setting it up lousy), or root your device and set up your cpu differently. and, btw, decrypting it does nothing for performance. my n6 is still encrypted, and one of the fastest n6 around.

It has been wiped, rooted, just as I've set dozens of Android devices up in the past.
There's just something not right about this phone!
I mean, sure if you just flip through the built in stuff, it feels snappy and all but some programs I use feel slow like moving arms through water slow.
And yes, encryption kills storage i/o and is very apparent with some things, it should be optional not required. Or at least done in hardware with less footprint on storage performance.
I'd say try the app called radarscope but it's not free. This is the only time I've ever had an issue with this app. I'm thinking it's the OS (5.02) but since I cannot run 4.4.4 on this device, no proof. Radarscope will run on an iphone 3G and the scrolling is far better.
And for benchmarks, how about 39K on Antutu? And that's with the performance setting in CM12!
My Note 4 even out of the box was much quicker feeling.
When I set it up initially I chose to restore from Google Play (92 apps) and it took far longer than any other phone to actually install them. This is with a wifi connection (5GHz AC) that gets 150 up/down consistently with a 3ms ping so that's not it. I figured encryption killing i/o would slow down this and didn't really care.
Oh and stock battery life is poor.
35% to 11% in 45 minutes riding in the car with Pandora streaming. Ugh.
If the droid turbo had an unlocked bootloader...
Sigh
Maybe it's defective?
Do these have a high defect count?
And really nitpicking, there's a place for earbuds in the box but they did not include them. For $650 they should have! (But I don't care since I don't even use them but principle...)

Well that makes sense (the audio swap)...
I sold my M8 and replaced it with this device. I was running Viper 3.21 and it was super fast (upper 40's Antutu, 28K Quadrant) and no lag. iOS smooth!
Didn't think the bar would be so high with a nearly year old device.
I know the 805 can handle 1440 res because the Note 4 does with no problem.
They all will lag from time to time.
But a flagship device should not skip and jump when playing games like smacky cars and white tiles. The G3 did and got hot.
One thing I can say is this device runs cool. The CPU temp has never gone over 36C in TWRP when working. My Note 4 hits 67C when flashing roms in TWRP and feels hot. It also overclocks poorly as in +100MHz = reboots with any game. I may have to crack it open and check for faulty TIM application but otherwise at stock clocks does fine. It hits 47K Antutu / 25K Quadrant. Speaking of Quadrant it's hard to break 14K on the N6 but (again) it's an old benchmark and 5.0 may be the reason. It feels faster than 14K because my Note II gets that...
But there's lots of roms and options and that's why I tried this device in the first place. It feels and reminds me a lot of the G3 because of the smaller bezel space.
I wish there were more options for better icons for signal/wifi/battery. The stock ones are flat. CM themes are awesome so far but someone mentioned their performance is subpar and it seems to be the case here.
I will write the dev of radarscope to see what's up. A lot of weather nerds are also phone nerds so someone else has to notice this. It's bad, imagine buying a Ferarri that had a governor set at 25mph. You'd flip out too!

That.
The device was verified running un-encrypted. The update from CM actually encrypted it again. I'm leaving it encrypted for now as to remove it requires formatting and losing everything on internal storage. Gee, would not be an issue if there was an external SD card. At least HTC did it right with a slot, on a device this big you would think they would have too.
I will say that copying from my laptop (which is usb 3.0) to the internal storage is quite speedy. Have to see how fast 5GHz AC is via airdroid. I know the G3 hit 20MB/S over their air which was very decent.
I'm running AOSP and it's better for sure (51K Antutu). Now to find a kernel and tweaker (have both paid versions from kt and faux) and o/c this cpu to 3GHz. Stopped OC for the past month because my N4 just doesn't do it.
But the problem with Radarscope exists and I will definitely contact the developer.
I will try a lollipop rom and see if it that indeed is the issue.
If so I will probably just get rid of the N6 and keep my Note 4 on KitKat until L becomes more mature and supporting things we like to run. Honestly 4.4.4 is quite nice and I see zero advantages of using L right now. It reminds me when Vista came out and everyone was still using XP. Possibly the next big release will be the next Windows 7.
And for the record, I can stream for *days* on both my iphone 6 plus and note 4 running pandora.
That "test" was pure stock from the ATT store coming home. I know the stock experience can be disappointing but that's pretty sad to be honest.

I use RadarScope on my DROID MAXX (stock 4.4.4, no root) and my Nexus 7 (stock 5.0.2, no root) fine with no problems. I've never had a problem with this app. I don't think this is kiddy coding.

Thanks for the reply.
I have to wonder why it's so bad.
The main issue is pinch zooming and scrolling and with this app you have to do it constantly.
PYKL3 is also acting kind of weird too. Usually it's blazing fast but when zoomed all the way in it feels sluggish like it's getting stuck. I don't use it nearly as much as radarscope but usually (PYKL3) is fast on my other android devices.

radarscope works perfectly fine on my n6 band lollipop.. im gonna assume the issue is on your end, and not the app. $9.99 for that app, is a bit expensive. i generally use the rainy days app, its free.

A screen shot does not show the problem though. The problem is panning and zooming. It's incredibly slow and on this device only.
The free apps aren't really suitable for me, I have to be able to use different modes, and dual polarity support, etc.
I will let them know, however. My subscriptions alone for these services I use are hundreds of dollars per year!

I've had radarscope since iOS 3 days when I was using a 3GS.
When I tried Android for the first time (Galaxy Tab 10.1) I was disappointed they did not have it (yet). So I used rainy days. It was OK and I recommend it to friends (along with DARXEN which is free).
But the support that radarscope has to be able to use in the palm of your hand is impressive. Amazing how things have come in a few short years. I don't chase any more but I do follow things and when out on the course (golf) or riding the trails, like to keep up on things.
Still waiting for a real time SMS lightning data app. Pinpoint lightning (iOS) was boss but they pretty much abandoned that project. You could literally watch a bolt strike in the pasture and within a few seconds the screen would flash and show a point in the screen that was accurate to under a 100 feet or so.
I'm sure there would be tons of these apps but there's tremendous liability and golfers and boaters would put too much faith in it and that's never a good thing.

I did!
And why? Because I got a 64GB version from Google Play!
I figured 32GB may be too small if I keep it longer...
Running Euphoria (updated today) and runs good.
No changes from original with some programs but as I've seen on an S5 with 5.02 it's the OS not the device causing issues. No way (yet) around that...
And manual camera app works great on this device. 50iso on a smart phone is nuts! Finally user adjustable focus. Now I don't miss my HTC One M8 at all! (especially 4MP pix!)
Wireless charging on this rocks! Using the TILT charger, it's near perfect and keeps the thing topped off. No more wear and tear on the USB connector. I just ordered the clear UAG case and when I get it I'm going to remove the silver letters so it doesn't read NEXGEN on the back!

Which silver letters? The built-in "NEXUS" ones? If you don't want to see that, buy a vinyl sticker from slickwraps or dbrand to cover it up, in case you want to sell it later

The UAG letters on the case. Turned upside down it spells GEN. When the case is on the phone the NEX part shows and the US is hidden. The end result is NEXGEN! Removing the stickers on the case will reveal NEXUS and IMO looks better.
I wish UAG would not put the aluminized stickers on the clear version of their cases for this reason. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent case.
And good suggestion on covering up letters. I never deface my phones for that reason, to maximize resell value! :good:
