Hi guys,
Girlfriend just got her JB update OTA last night on her unlocked but non rooted Nexus S.
Performance on homescreen, drawer and opening apps is very laggy and unresponsive. Had put this down to a low battery at the time, but after charging and reboots there has been no real difference. Launcher was Apex but that has been disabled and currently back to using stock with the same issues.
Apparently sms notification lights are also misbehaving.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Cheers!

Mine was also laggy when I updated but after a factory reset everything is normal again.
Factory reset resolves this problem for my i9023 too.
Ok Cheers guys!
Thought this might be the only solution. Now hopefully she wont mind setting everything up again
Hi guys!
That same issue is happening to me.
Do you know if after factory data reset root will be lost?

I have an unrooted HTC Inspire with stock GingerBread upgrade ROM. Recently for over 2 weeks, system started crashing on any random application from HTC sense to Gmail or even Firefox. I have tried both force close option and report but the phone becomes touch insensitive. I have pull out the battery and force a reboot. Sometimes the system is power saver mode, when I press the power button the screen doesn't illuminate and remains dark. I have to pull out the battery and reboot. I have tried plugging into the wall to see whether its a power issue but the screen still doesn't illuminate
I haven't installed any new application recently. There were numerous application updates that went through but nothing that stands out.
any help to debug this is much appreciated!
Did you update to gingerbread over the air?
Mine has been doing the same thing. I did the ota as soon as it came to my phone and never had issues till now. Today I was recording a video of my car and I couldn't stop it. nothing that I touched works I had to do a battery pull which sucks with a otter box defender.. After the reboot my brightness settings changed and it disabled background data. What's wrong?

When you mean over the air, you mean using ATT mobile network? yes, I did. Gingerbread update ran months ago, this just started happening
Unrooted phone with problems mean return to Store (lol). Dont try to figure the issues out just return for a new one.

Ok, the reason I ask is because I saw some people were having issues with the update and a factory reset solved it.
Have you tried a full restore? I had a similar problem with my Dell Streak. I had to fully reset/restore/return to factory settings. But the problems went away!
Hello Guys!
I own an Atrix 2 and am currently on Official ICS. My phone was working fine all along.
Recently I've noticed that the phone runs extremely slow many times. I have to power off & on many times a day to keep it functioning properly.
It is mostly sluggish these days and I don't understand why. I tried uninstalling recently installed apps but, nothing seems to be helping.
This is my first Android phone and am lost!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.

IF you think you phone is giving poor performance on official ICS then why don't you try custom roms . Read/Research on MIUI and I think you will get best performance. BUT READ TILL YOU UNDERSTAND EVERY ABOUT COUSTOM ROMS.

Hi,
What you are saying may be correct however, the same phone was performing superbly on Official ICS for around 6 months. It's been a few weeks that the phone has become sluggish.
I need to find out the root cause for this and rectify that.

You could try wipe cache...
Turn off the phone and then press and hold at the same time: the Power button, Vol up and Down Key until the bootloader screen comes up
Volume down to recovery and than hit Volume up to select
When the Android with the the Red Triangle appears push the vol up and down button together
Scroll to clear cache partition and push the power button
Wait for it to clear and than choose reboot once complete by pushing the power button.
It might be some rogue app.. Try uninstalling any app you installed recently.. Worst case, backup all apps and data, try a factory reset.. After that, restore only the apps you really need.. One by one when you get time and find out what was causing the problem..

Try downloading a Cache Cleaner like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.cache.cleaner. You could also make a titanium backup of all your apps and do a factory reset.
You might also try and do a FXZ and start over. It seems odd, sometimes that fixes all of the little oddities that pop up including slowness that shows up out of nowhere.
I faced the same problem a month ago. Opening Messages, Settings, EVEN PICKING CALLS, took 7-15 secs.
Turned out it was Android OS/ the Kernel. Whenever the WiFi status changed and some other reasons, the Android OS seemed to take 100% CPU usage for about 1-3 min. Also sometimes I had other processes such as kworker2, kworker3 and others. It took me many apps such as Watchdog, Systempanel, etc to find it out.
Even still I got tired and did a Factory Reset, Rooted it and installed Another ROM. Now its Working fine.
My suggestion would be a Factory Reset (Dont forget Backup if you need to). :good:
Tried the clear Cache Thing as well as uninstalled most of the apps which I never use. Phone started functioning good for some time.
But, now again the same thing.
Thinking about FXZ now. What is FXZ and how do you do it?
Factory reset I can consider but, does it really help?
I notice that the sluggishness starts when WIFI is on and the phone is connected to my home WIFI.

Go to your wireless settings and "Forget" the home wifi connection. Reboot your router and phone, then sign back in to your WIFI.
If you are thinking about FXZ, then you might as well try the FDR first.
Start here and read and read again:

If you decide to go the FXZ route, please ask and confirm which firmware to use with your Atrix2. Many BRICKED their phones flashing the WRONG FXZ!

slow atrix2 - email trash folder
I was having the same issue - tried wiping the cache (both via the system and with various cache wiping apps). Eventually I would get a slow atrix2 again. I noticed that the trash folder for my pop3 email accounts did not clean itself up, so I did a select all and deleted the messages from the trash folder. This was thousands of trash emails. Three days later and my atrix2 is still snappy. I'm hopeful that this was the issue.

Hello guys
I just finished updating my rooted Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it went fine but I immidiately noticed some "problems" when I turned it on. The thing is that my touch screen is not as responsive as before 4.4.3 update. On 4.4.2 scrolling was flowy and smooth like on ice, but on 4.4.3 I got big delay (half cm of emptiness) on scrolling through gesture (apps, home or anything..) and, even worse, when I'm scrolling down my Contacts list it dials randomly due to a lagging. Is there any calibration to be done or that's it?

It doesn't sound normal. Mine is working just as smooth as it was on 4.4.2. Have you tried wiping the phone? Do a factory reset and see.

my battery went from 19% to 0 over night.... in airplane mode. previously, it would only use 3-4% overnight, esp with everything turned off. almost woke up late
also, im having a hard time answering phone calls. i slide to answer, it doesnt answer but its still ringing
I noticed that there is a bunch of different problems reported last two days and I have decided to wait for Google's response on all of this mess. But I must say that my phone is working better now and somehow it heals itself )) Maybe this update is about implementing some organic components

I also got a big issue on 4.4.3. since the update i get sponataeuos signal dropouts especially when i travel by bus or train.
It seams the radio has problems by logging out at one cell and switch to an other cell. Also the reception/signal is very weak.
Someone noticed the same? or does anybody has a tip?

Go to settings > apps > locate google dialer and clear cache
For battery drain, install an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats (it's free demo version is available on XDA) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Observe your device for one day after complete charge (90+) and use it.
Using that app, you'll observe the apps/wakelocks which are causing unnecessary battery drain. Eliminate them or post screenshots here so that we can help you to solve battery drain issue.

First thing to do if something is broken after an OTA is factory reset to see if it is an OS bug or whether you have incompatible data and settings.
It sounds like it would be a pain to do, but you can easily backup with helium nowadays so it needn't be

GPS not Working
Has anyone else noticed if their GPS is working or not? I was trying to use mine last night and I can see that GPS connects and it brings up the map but then never navigates or even moves from the starting point on the map. Can someone let me know if this is a new problem??? I flashed the N5_4.4.3.zip file that someone pointed me to, as I had asked for a flashable zip file to update to 4.4.3 as I still have not gotten an ota notification from T-Mobile:confused
i have a question also,
what if i like the current mono toned google dialer?
when i get this update & it updates the dialer, is it possible to un-install the dialer update to revert back to the older dialer?

Hello!
So I finally got the Note Edge and it's a splendid piece of equipment. I haven't done much to it other than adding Nova Launcher. So I put on the Sleep Clock.. went to bed and I woke up twice to check email. The problem is that when I tried to turn it on, the sleep clock was stuck and I had to do a battery pull because it wasn't responding.
Has anyone had this sort of problem?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
Try using TW for while to rule out an issue with Nova.

Hi Kirkla!
Thanks for the reply. Yeah.. even with TW.. it's doing it. I'm wondering if it could be the messaging system that I'm using... I am currently using ... I think it's called CHOMP.
If that dont work, maybe remove all downloaded apps, then reinstall one by one until you find the culprit.

You said you were experiencing some lagging. Did you ever install Xposed? Can you check these threads and see if you have any of the other issues mentioned? There seems to be a problem with Xposed on some devices (2 Note Edges, one Note 4 and an S5 (the only one that was fixed), if I recall correctly).

hi all..

My phone was bad. I ended up getting a replacement for the Edge. The old phone would constantly reboot and freeze throughout the day. It didn't matter if it was in safe mode or not.
Anyway.. thank you for replying!
note edge freezing
Don't let your mobile free from background processes I have same problem in my note edge and I used to disable built in apps thinking that this would make my mobile free from freezing and lagging..but problem dI'd not fixed so now I just install some more apps that and make the cpu working continously aND now it is not freezing or restarting.. strange
You may solve your issue by clearing the cache memory. I had same problem, but now my NoteEdge works perfectly for about 12 hours...
Hello guys,
I'm having a Nexus 5 with Android 5.1.1 that keeps restarts when I'm returning to home screen from an app (for example a game) and the device view mode is changed from landscape to portrait.
I tried to fix this issue by performing a factory reset however the issue is still present.
What are your thoughts on this ? Is a hardware problem or OS problem ?

will try with another launcher even though the stock android launcher is my favorite.
You may also have a widget that isn't loading properly. If you are on the stock launcher and ROM then I would think that is the most likely source of your problems.
This just started happening to me. I am on 5.1.1 rooted OEM. Really sucks. THinking about going back to 4.4.4.
This is happening to me on 5.1.1 and M Preview. Using Google Now launcher and Nova with Google widgets.

Well I'm back on the 5.1.1 wagon. WIth Elemental X. I had the reboots happen in 4.4.4. I changed to a different phone case. This case doesnt cover the power button. I haven't had a reboot in a long time. I think its my power button.
Time for a new phone! Oh well Nexus 5. Its been a great ride. Really love this phone. Don't want to fix it though.
