[Q] New Shield Tablet with major lag issues. What should I do? - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got the Shield Tablet on Black Friday and after activating T-Mobile LTE and inserting a 64GB Samsung microSD card it's started getting really slow and laggy. I'm running Nvidia's stock Lollipop and haven't rooted. Should I reset my device with the factory image and root? Would that help me with the lag, or might this be a hardware issue and should I get a replacement from where I purchased it?
Having paid $400 and running OEM stock, I'm a bit pissed off at how bad my experience with this tablet has been so far performance wise.

Flash back to Kit Kat, Lollipop is just broke -- not just on the Shield tablet, on ALL devices.
If you want to spend time hunting around, I am sure you can make your experience somewhat better if you really want to stick with the crap OS, but there are some basic problems with the OS that can't be fixed.

Try a factory reset at first. For me it's OK, no big differences to KitKat.

Since you are running AOSP, do you have all the Google services installed? Maybe the issue is with Google's Play framework...
All I know is I have tried many of the suggestions that have been posted to fix the various issues. Some work, some don't and some are iffy. I do know I have NO problems with Kit Kat. I shouldn't have to "fix" my OS. ALL versions of Android prior to Lollipop have been significantly better than the previous version -- until now. Unfortunately I just have to wait for Google to fix it (5.0.1 doesn't).

Yes, I am running the play framework. Unfortunately Google seems to have released a far from perfect update as loads of people are having problems. I'm not convinced it's everyone though.

I had similar lag on lollipop, but after a reset it is running great. Try a factory reset before doing anything like downgrading to kitkat. Lollipop runs great for me, way better than kitkat.

Uninstall Facebook it seemed to break lollipop on my tablet.

Here are the thing I'm doing that seem to help with lag.
Uninstall Facebook
If using Nova Launcher turn on Aggressive Desktop (Advanced -> Aggressive Desktop)
Format cache partition in recovery mode

I also found that uninstalling Facebook was really helpful. Is it just not optimized for Lollipop in general? Seriously, the difference was night and day for me.

[Q] Poor Performance After 4.1.2 Update

Hey,
I seem to be having several problems after the recent 4.1.2 update (all stock VZW, no rooting, mods, etc.)
1. Very laggy, particularly when coming off the lock screen. Even doing simple things, like opening the list of ringtones for selection generates significant lag
2. Significant decrease in battery life. Prior to 4.1.2 I was able to get 2-3 days standby/light use. Now I'm getting just a little over a day.
Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, how did you fix it? I'm reasonably well versed in Android, but I haven't tried to flash/update/change any Motorola devices before. I've rooted/modded a few older devices (Nexus One) -- but nothing since.
Thanks!
-- Dan
I think you should check your wakelocks. I'm experiencing a lot wakelocks on my Razr HD since update, specially with Google account. Use BetterBatteryStatus to check it.

You need to update using rsdlite and the fasboot files. It'll fix you right up.

Yeah, I was reading that in some of the other threads. So I went ahead and bit the bullet and did it --- what a difference! It's significantly faster than before, probably better than out of the box. Since I was at a clean state I went ahead and rooted the phone, the new method worked great!
I'm not sure what went wrong with the update. The only thing I can think of that was "less than optimal" -- I was in Australia on a foreign carrier when VZW sent me the 4.1.2 update. I had to download the update over the carrier's (very slow) 3G (HSPA+ wasn't available at the time.) Maybe that caused the problem?

I'm experiencing a lot of issues too. Not super sluggish I think, but battery is bad, lots of sync wakelocks, phone heats up quickly and battery doesn't last that much. I live in Brazil and received the OTA from my carrier, but it's a service version. Should I give it a try and flash it? How the procedure works?
I did that also, but over time MotoBlur takes back over and slows it down, I just flashed CM10 and this phone flies now!!!

{Q}to follow the cm 10.2 updates

Hi,
I m very interested in install the official 10.2 CyanogenMod based in android 4.3, but is in Nightly phase, i am wondering how much time can take to reach a more stable version, and if is posible to follow the changes, issues and fixes in the daily releases.
I hope someone can give me orientation, thx in advance.
Of course you can. Head over to the thread Nardholio started in the Development section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405310
The first post has links to: the official CM site and to the Apex Github. The CM site has a changelog for nightlies. On the Apex Github, they maintain a list of known issues.
It's all there.
I caution you on expectations here. Android 4.4 was just announced with a very unfortunate name. I think Jelly Bean 4.3 has about 60 days to live. It would be silly to expect 10.2 to be stable by then. After 4.4 hits Nexus devices, I bet the Apex guys will shift their focus to 4.4 and we will repeat some of this process...

it will probably never happen.
android 4.4 is just around the corner, so i guess the focus will be swapped on that, as it was for 4.3 and 4.2 before
CyanogenMod will do a final "release" build when 10.2 is EOL which will be the most stable we can make it. We also have a last 10.1 build we consider mostly stable, although it is unofficial. Right now 10.2 does have some stability issues, but most of these will be worked out (there are some bugs in our firmware we will not be able to fix until/if Samsung updates the firmware)

I have random freezes/reboots all the time on the official nightlies -- even the ones people claim are stable. The lockscreen freezes quite often too. Are these known issues or am I just a lucky one? I am running CWM and followed the installation instructions on the Cyanogenmod wiki.
I just installed alogerec and hopefully something will show up to troubleshoot my issue.
Problem with 10.2 nightly as well
I have a problem with the 10.2 nightlies I have tried (all from this week) that I emailed Narholio as he requested.
But since I am a n00b and cannot post to development threads yet I could not post details there. I have not done extensive testing because the screen stays black even though the buttons light up when I try to unlock the phone. I can usually get it to display by pressing the lock button again to lock it, then pressing it again to unlock it right away. This also seems to happen only after the phone has been locked for greater than 20 seconds. If the screen timeout happens, or if press the lock button to lock it, the display almost always works if I unlock it again before 20 seconds is up.
I have not noticed any reboots or other problems, but have not used it extensively because of the black screen problem.
Try http://ls.infernix.net/jenkins/job/apexq-staging/ build 336
Sent from my SGH-T699 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I flashed build 336 last night and still have my phone lock up when trying to unlock it. This doesn't happen every time but when it does it either shows the back and menu buttons illuminated with a black screen or an unresponsive lock screen. In either case it will eventually reboot.

I also still have the same problem with 336 you linked. I'm running it right now and posting this using it. I have had no reboots or other problems yet, but the black screen while trying to unlock it still plagues an otherwise really great experience. I love the speed and feel of it
I've seen that problem w/ the freezing while trying to unlock when the phone is OOM. If you can actually get it to unlock after that, check your apps memory usage.
Good idea

Thanks for the suggestion. Checking memory is a good idea, although I really don't have any apps at all installed. Didn't even install gapps when I flashed this time.
Is there a preferred way to check for free memory? Terminal command?

Personally, I always forget to close browser tabs and OOM that way. Check in Settings -> Apps -> Running
Look at the apps you use as well.
When Android was introduced, they rolled it out with a set of guidelines called the application life cycle.
In the document, Google specified how to develop applications and what was available. One option for devs that is powerful is running a thread as a service. It was a feature that was supposed to be used sparingly... (A service is a program that runs all the time--unless the kernel panics and shuts down everything.)
Unfortunately, developers know that Google isn't going to do anything to push them to make quality software. The market is supposed to sort it out.
In many cases, this is not working. People are taking advantage of the lack of QA.
Bottom line: App devs are building software that leaves services running in the background all the time--for no good reason, whatsoever. Many of these services are just there to slurp up your data and send it to their servers so they can sell it.
Holding the back button to fix it? That rarely works. The devs have intentionally built their memory wasting crapware to restart the service if it gets shut down.

Yep, did wipe each time I tried multiple recent nightly versions which all do the same thing. The only one I've tried that works correctly is the 20130309 version.

I generally keep a tab open to this Relay forum so I can watch what's happening, but not many tabs. Also happens immediately after flashing, without even running any apps, much less installing any.

I really haven't installed any. And when testing different nightlies I just flashed and it happens right away, didn't install a thing on them.
I decided to stay on a version for a while, so have had 20130920 since Friday, and I've used it long enough to know it is consistent. I have found another way to make it happen: incoming phone calls. When phone wakes that way it almost always happens as well. Today it finally showed the screen when I received a call, but 3 or 4 other calls the screen has just been black so I can't tell who's calling.
I discovered another thing since using this ROM for 6 days. Sometimes I get lines/bars/tearing on screen that won't go away until I lock and unlock the phone again.
I have some other phones that are broken, if I can fix one of them I might consider sending this one to a dev to temporarily play with since it seems to be the perfect test case for this problem. The screen is cracked (I got it used in this condition), which I would normally suspect to be the cause of the problem, however since it does not have either problem with stock ICS, stock JB, or the 20130309 CM I'm pretty sure it's related to something in CM10.2. Just new enough to Android I'm not sure how to track it down.
Thank you all for your help!
I have one of these "rev0 cpu" phones and just recently went back to the stock firmware (ugh) because of the lockscreen wakeup lockups. I have gone 3 days so far with no issues. Until this issue is troubleshot, this is an option for anybody who needs stability with one of these phones. I miss CM very much though.

I also have a rev0 cpu phone, and I had a few lockup/reboots since I finally dove in last Monday (9/30) with Staging build 341. However, without me changing anything (still on the same build), they seem to have stopped. Last one I got was 10/2.
Edit: until just now. *facepalm*

[Q] Cyanogenmod 11-M9 crashy as hell on Hammerhead?

Is anyone else running Cyanogenmod 11 M-releases on their Nexus 5?
I just got mine a week or two ago, and the first thing I did was unlock it and flash it to CyanogenMod 11. (M8 at the time)
I'm using the device encryption, because I'm a paranoid bastard (And I love the fact this phone is actually usable while encrypted, unlike my Nexus S), and I find it very crashy. Several times per day, seemingly totally random, often while entering into the keyboard, though sometimes while it's just in my pocket. I've been able to determine no rhyme or reason.
No error messages, no apps crashing, no force closes, just several times a day it'll just freeze and reboot. Data loss is a common occurrence. I've lost my WhatsApp! database several times now, and a few others as well.
Is this just me, or is CyanogenMod 11 this crappy for other people too? I can't find a way to prove to myself that this is a hardware problem, the Android Stability Test app just keeps going and going. I've been watching adb logcat during a crash, and nothing interesting is output. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

We'll have to disagree about the usefulness of encryption, (I like that if my phone is powered off, my data is PRIVATE until and unless my passphrase is entered) but I'll wipe the phone this eve, TRIM it, and get setup on it again without encryption.

Maybe it's useful if you have something important on your device, but really, if you do, it shouldn't be kept on your phone anyways.
On Android, encryption is nothing but trouble, maybe it doesn't cause issues right away, but eventually it'll cause many. If you really wanted to keep things secured then I don't see why you would unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and install a custom ROM.

CyanogenMod has Privacy Guard, which is another feature I'm using, mostly with the aforementioned WhatsApp!, which has a list of permissions longer than my arm. I don't like it, but I need it for work.
I'll grant that the custom Recovery and ROM may slightly weaken the encryption (specifically an attacker could alter the ROM from Recovery), but even so having the encryption makes the phone a million times more resistant to data theft and tampering than not having it. It's worth noting that tweaking the ROM is the _worst_ an attacker could do. If I suspected such a thing had happened I could re-unlock the bootloader (which would wipe my data), and re-flash a known good Recovery and ROM. I'd lose my data, but even if the attacker had dumped the partition they still wouldn't have my key, and my data would still be private.
And the phone has crashed twice today. I'm going to repeat my original question - is anyone running Cyanogenmod 11-M on their Nexus 5, and if so is it stable? Should I be RMAing this phone, or should I try reverting it to stock first?

its more then likely the encryption. Disable it, re-flash and see what happens
No encryption. Wiped and trimmed the phone yesterday, now 4 crashes.
Try another ROM, see if it crashes. If it still does, flash factory images and see if it still does.
If so, RMA.
Nothing but trouble for me since upgrading to m9. I have been using the various M builds since March with no problems. M8 was fine. No device encryption for me. I tried turning it on and instead got stuck redoing the whole phone.
Now I get frequent crashing. I switched to the most recent nightly yesterday. Apps stopped crashing. However the os itself still crashes. Several times the screen wouldn't turn on after removing it from my pocket. The light was blinking so it definitely didn't just turn off. It also has stayed black after a few (but not all) phone calls. I've had to hard reset every time to recover.
Thinking about reverting to m8 backup. Willing to give it a few more nightie and see if it works out.
Where did you get it? I'm using the stable M9 snapshot off the CM site for hammerhead and it works pretty good.

Got it from the OTA update. Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to know how to debug it or use proper logs. It could be that its an app I'm using combined with the most recent update...
Im using M9 snapshot too and i have not had 1 problem its been excellent
No problems for me on the M9 snapshot either. I'm coming up on 100 hours of uptime. Have you tried another kernel? I've always found that the stock CM kernel isn't the best. I'm using ElementalX 1..04 and it works pretty great.

+1. I installed another kernel (Chaos) for that reason and it's way faster.
OP: Maybe a bad flash? I would download M8 latest stable snapshot, and do OTA upgrade to M9. That's how I got mine.

Yeah it'll never be like the GB days. There's either audio problems, crashes, or other random problems. It's sad because people are expecting it to be like it was in old days. CM is not for stability, you can quote me on that.

Should I upgrade to 5.1?????

Hi,
Did upgrade to 5.1, started having the usual issues as WiFi not connecting, cellular network issues. Sent the the phone to LG, they replaced it with a new PCB/motherboard. Came back with 5.0.1. Now, the 5.1 is available to upgrade. Should I or stay with 5.0.1?
Every time the phone goes for service, I stuck with an iPhone or blackberry. I hate both devices.

I don't see why shouldn't you, upgrading your Android won't destroy your devices motherboard, it makes your software better and more secure.

Did upgrade to 5.1, started having the usual issues as WiFi not connecting, cellular network issues. Sent the the phone to LG, they replaced it with a new PCB/motherboard. Came back with 5.0.1. Now, the 5.1 is available to upgrade. Should I or stay with 5.0.1?
Every time the phone goes for service, I stuck with an iPhone or blackberry. I hate both devices.

You must. In the name of science. So we all, that get those issues, know where the problem is.
Definitely upgrade. 5.1 addresses numerous issues, including a memory leak that was pretty bad, it doesn't completely fix then leak, but it does help. 5.1 runs substantially more stable, and it's also been show to dramatically increase battery duration on mobiles.
But a lot of us have remained with kitkat because of the many reported problems with lollipop. Have these problems been fixed now? Is lollipop better than kitkat? How?
Do xprivacy and gravitybox now work in Lollipop?
Thanks.

Nexus 5 with Android 5.1.1 restarts when returning to home screen

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 ?

Software IMO. Try with another launcher.

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.

IMHO, 4.4.4 is the way to go for now. Especially if rooted with xposed, xprivacy and gravitybox.

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.
