I entered developer mode and updated to the art libraries and runtime the only issue was I could not get over air updates had to go back to davlik. Any advantages of ART vs. Davlik. Everything was running fine on S 5. Thank-you
Some people think it's smoother with better battery but I haven't noticed much of a difference.

Noticed something's freezing and system update won't work. Been on ART since release
do you then just go back to davlik for upgrades then re-do art after update? Does it cause any issues going back and forth? I ran it for a few days and all seemed ok except for updates. Not sure if I should go back to art or wait.
I switched. Sprint Connection Optimizer was constantly crashing...eventually Lux would crash and kept the screen from coming back on. I reverted back, all issues gone.
Phone did feel snappier tho.
What I switched to ART my screen would not stay asleep. It would time out, go dark and 5 seconds later come on again. Switched back and the problem stopped.
Should remember that ART is still very much in beta. There's a reason it's buried in the developer options.
There are a LOT of apps that just don't work properly with it. They're made for JIT not to be precompiled. I tried it out, and sure some things were better. I noticed faster launch times especially on the larger apps I launched. Once in there was little to no difference in speed or smoothness. Honestly things were hurt because of apps crashing in the background. Once apps are updated for it, I think I'll be switching over to it. But for now I'm going to hang with Dalvik.

Not sure if anyone has had this problem but I'm seeing some really odd issues, sometimes the screen starts moving really quick almost like flickering but from left to right as if I'm holding finger on the screen and moving it extremely fast. Sometimes it seems like touch screen doesn't work until I hit power and menu right after, also randomly core apps would crash.
I'm on jf1.42 rc33.
are you using any themes? I've encountered similar problems, but only after flashing multiple themes without wiping. i've never had any problems after a fresh wipe and reflash of JF 1.1*.

i'm having similar problems but wasn't sure if something i did screwed it up, i was getting random core apps crashing on 1.41 RC33 and to test a script i wrote and an app made by another i completely wiped every thing to where the phone wouldn't start at all, i achieved this with adb shell wipe all
i wouldn't suggest doing that unless you have an update.zip waiting to be flashed to your phone, i put the phone back to warrenty standards and then started EVERYTHING all over so i could test the things i wanted to. when i finished testing i rooted and put 1.42 on and it seemed a little better all day until it popped up and phone process, settings, and core all three crashed at the same time about 30 minutes ago. my flash was 100% clean as there was nothing on the phone at all including OS, i completely wiped the system partition and data and refused to flash my nandroid back up since i didn't want the same problems. i hope someone else knows what's going on and we can fix this
I went from stock rc 30, rooted, JF RC 30, Themes (many), RC 33,JF ADP 1.1, then back to RC 33.
I had an issue of contacts not syncing, and the import contacts from sim caused a core force close.
So i did a freash install of JF 1.43 RC33 and it worked again. No screen problems but I did have a few core apps force closing. It hasnt happened since my last install of RC 33. Im running a modified theme now, my own with very little changes.

No themes, if I do a wipe, what happens with paid apps that I have installed does anyone know?
Looks like it was the related to multi touch, after doing another wipe and installing a build with out multi touch the problem went away no more rapid screen movement and apps are not crashing
Hey guys,
I have my Nexus S (9023 variant) for some good 4 months now and I'm still quite happy with it!
Running unrooted stock 2.3.4 version.
However, I seem to feel like the phone is getting a bit jerkier / sluggish than it used to be before. I've noticed an increase in battery consumption of the Android OS process (not the system one) as opposed to before (like in a 100%-0% charge, it used to be 1-2 minutes, now it can go up to 10 mins time usage).. Sometimes going from one app to the other seems to have a noticeable lag. Sometimes the Google Music player is just slow to start playing... sometimes even the swiping of the home screens dies.
Also I used to have 2 days battery life and now some 1.5 days (which forces me to charge every night).
I would suspect than an increase on the Androis OS process would mean an increase in internal task switching.
How can one alleviate the problem ? Is there a way to sort of "cleanup" the system ? Does it degrade over time needing a factory reset or something ? I have some applications installed (some of them I hardly use though) but I suspect that even though those optimizations have their notifications disabled, they can be reacting to some kind of low-level OS events..
Anyway thanks for any thoughts guys!
What ROM are you running? And I would suspect that apps are the main problem if it persists after a reboot.
Stock 2.3.4, unrooted
Guess it's on to uninstall some apps then
Factory reset would solve all your problems I assume. Pity you are not rooted so you can back up your ROM.
I'm actually thinking of rooting soon, because I made some video recordings in a concert and they were plain horrible (distorted). So I might try to install a kernel with voodoo.
I guess I can always manually backup for once...
I have the google services backup activated... doesn't it mean that I can restore all my apps after a factory reset ?
https://market.android.com/details?id=tw.nicky.CleanCache
You can use that to clean up your caches. I suspect a lot of programs installed or one or a few that are pulling your performance down. You could go about this in a few different ways. One is to uninstall everything you've downloaded from the market. That should give you a boost. Or you can start uninstalling programs one at a time until you see your performance increase then that's your culprit. Another idea is to delete all your SMS, MMS, and voicemail. I've seen people with hundreds of texts that after deleting them, notice an improvement.
A cache and dalvic cache wipe would help speed things up. Hopefully that market app above can do both. Normally done through a custom recovery.

Nice ideas guys!!
Think I will try to install titanium backup and backup my apps. And since I'm on it, I will also root my phone and install the net archy kernel cause the last time I took my phone to a concert I ended up with 1 hour of unusable footage due to sound issues.
Forenote, my N5 was running PSX v2 and Franco Kernel r13 flawlessly for weeks when this ramdomly happened.
Used my phone today just as I have for weeks on end with little to no issue until around 8 or 9 hours into my day the phone started to lag very badly. Redraws, stutter, unresponsiveness, you name it. I was surprised as this phone usually flies! So I cleared my recent apps and that seemed to help slightly, but it still was very slow. I used cache cleaner's built in ram cleaner to stop all running processes (which I never do) and it seemed like the issue was fixed. The system UI and launcher redrew and I was good to go.
Until I started to play some music in Play Music, a pop up constantly popped up that YouTube has stopped working. I didn't even use YouTube today! I tried to then open the YouTube app and it wouldn't open whatsoever. No animation no execution, just a dialog box reading, "Unfortunately, YouTube has stopped working." I went into app settings and cleared cache/data/and force stopped and the app still was misbehaving. I reinstalled the app via the play store and it still wouldn't open. The dialog box wouldn't stop popping up this whole time mind you.
I was thinking what the hell is wrong with my phone today!? Maybe a reboot would fix things. I tried rebooting and my phone got stuck at boot animation. I force shut off and rebooted into recovery, formatted cache and dalvik cache and rebooted. This time the boot animation actually froze.. I was like what the f***! I let it sit for a few minutes to see if anything would happen without any luck.
I force shut off again and now the phone won't even turn on. Not into bootloader, not normally, the thing won't even charge! So here I am with a dead phone and a $450 paperweight. I'm just so lost I have no idea what could've caused this really unusual sequence of events.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
A bad phone. Rma it
Was the phone hot when the weird things happened?

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary temperature wise.. Although my phone has overheated and shut off before that was maybe 2-3 weeks ago..

Lately my Nexus 5 has been having some issues. I first started noticing this when I'd get artifacts popping up while on chrome. Then during reboot, play services would crash, and sometimes the launcher would refuse to start. Then other apps like Hangouts would refuse to let me view messages without a app crash. Even 3rd party apps have crashed on me.
I've done a full wipe and put stock 4.4.2, three different times now and within a day I get the same symptoms all over again.
This has been going on for over a week, I have absolutely no idea what to do now.
Any ideas? Is perhaps the storage bad? Any way to test it? Or what should I do.
Thanks
Flash clean stock and don't install a single app for those few days and see what happens.
If nothing, install just a few apps at a time per day. If it suddenly starts....you'll know its one of the few apps you just installed.
That's all I got. Lol

Are you flashing a custom kernel with it? Are you undervolting at all, running art? I specifically ask for undervolting, cause that will cause things to crash | reboot.
No, no custom kernel. Everything I got was from googles factory image site. https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-kot49h-factory-02006b99.tgz
And I've never undervolted before. I could root and perhaps increase the clock speed. Also not running ART. I did a few months ago, but switched back.

Well aside from rooting, best you can do is force stop all those apps, particularly the ones that are crashing specifically, then clear those caches from the menu. After you've done all your problem apps, reboot.
If he did a full wipe and installed a fresh stock image....caches aren't the issue. Its probably one app wreaking havoc. Lol
Last night, my Note 20 Ultra got the Android 11 v3 upgrade, and it messed up so many things I can't believe anybody would call that an "upgrade".
First, the option to hide the front camera hole in Settings / Full screen apps is GONE, and now that hole is not only back, but since there is no more bevel, it's extremely difficult again to swipe down on an Otterbox case because of the slightly protruding edge protecting the screen.
Second, the alarm sounds have been changed. Having a couple dozen alarms active makes it a hassle to change everything again.
Third, the photo editing software now has added shadow buttons shifting the saturation button farther to the right out of the default space, therefore requiring scrolling. I believe this can be customized, but why not add these 2 new lesser used options to the right from the get going ?
Fourth, looking at pictures in the gallery now shows a thumbnail scroll at the bottom which interferes with basic button functions, especially video playing control.
I've only noticed a few other minor changes today, like changes in the location of various options, but these are the most irritating so far.
I hope the next upgrade will at least bring back the option to hide the camera hole again for those who need it.
Nothing like an AT&T update... which is why I never let updates run.
If you like the OS and it's fast/stable, leave it be.
A reload is probably needed, at the least clear the system cache.
Major firmware upgrades are going to require a lot of time and learning even if they're good OS's. Just the nature of the beast.

I never had a problem before, and I cleared the system cache just in case, but the phone is working fine.
I am fine learning new features and virtually all OS changes, but I don't see how removing the option to disable full screen can be an improvement.
Is there any way to restore the OS to a previous version without wiping out data and apps ? It's very difficult to swipe down 20 times a day now that the fullscreen can't be disabled.

Never update near the end of the phone's life cycle. That when the worst things tend to happen and some are deliberately done... thanks AT&T Feel the wuv...
If you want to flash back you'll need to reload.
A reload is a good idea even if you don't and I rarely advocate reloading.
I use my SD card as the data drive. Nothing critical is on the OS drive. I back all my user apps and system app updates with ApkExport. I can fully reload with little or internet and no PC in about 2 hrs. At that point it's about 95% complete.
Starting experimenting with Smart Switch backup; the above timeframe is without Smart Switch restoring settings (time will tell). Make frequent backups to it.
Take advantage of the tools you have available and be ready to reload at any time. Forced reloads are rare but can happen at any time.
Being prepared makes them a lot less time consuming, painful and eliminates most data loss.
After spending over a year getting to know Pie and how to optimize this 10+ variant, I refuse to "upgrade" this fast, stable and secure* platform that I like. It be a waste of time and in my opinion Q is inferior to Pie.
You on the other hand started on Q so up is the only way to go; that may be a better route for you.
You probably will find solutions for your current issues but it's a time consuming process.
Just the nature of the beast.
Play with it... Android's are fun to play with
*as secure as you make it or not.
