Jelly Bean OTA update unstable

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?

No it won't

[Q] screen won't come on

twice now when I press my power button my phone won't turn on. it seems to happen randomly, i pull it out of my pocket and I can't get it to turn on. I end up having to hold the button for like 30 seconds? and then it hard-restarts and everything is back to working fine.
I'm using Cataclysm with Franco.kernel
Qi still beeps when i set my phone on it.
think this is a rom/kernel issue or hardware?
cataclysm + franco gets such amazing battery life :victory:

I don't know about that!! B/C I'm using the same ROM from day 1 no problems like that. I suggest flash another kernel see what happens:good:

I also had this problem about 3 or 4 times. I was always using stock kitkat and it happened with both stock kernel and franco kernel.

i swapped it up completely and am running KANGAKAT with elementX. we'll see what happens! thanks for the answers everybody.

Had the same issue. Called goggle to get RMA. It just arrived today. The sad part is this one is going right back because everytime I try to install a widget, the launcher crashes (stock launcher and 3rd party). I barely have any apps installed at this point. Looking like a faulty device. My original works fine besides the random instance of the screen not coming back on. Thought I was the only one since I started a topic about this a few weeks ago and got no replies. I'm 100% stock and unrooted

This problem started with me after I installed the Franko Kernel.
Spent the whole night reverting to stock.

Not sure what I uninstalled, but my widgets are now working again. Still no idea what causes the screen to randomly not turn back on. Hoping this one doesn't have the same issue

Moto G - Unfortunately Camera has stopped

Running stock Moto G 4.4.2 ATM, and updated to 174.44.1 yesterday, unlocked and rooted using TWRP v2.6.3.0. Very occasionally, when I want to use the camera I get the message "Unfortunately Camera has stopped" and I get a blank screen. I can exit the camera app and occasionally it will work if I force stop the camera app and try it again. I have also tried other camera apps, but get the same results. I suspect that they all using the same Android api or something. The surefire way to get it working is to reboot the phone.
I have tried fixing permissions, wiping cache, dalvic, wiping camera app cache etc. Perhaps I have a physical camera problem? As I see zero reports of Moto G camera problems in this forum.
Any suggestions?

Hi there, I'm having the same problem! From what country is yours?

@GregoryDelaey Hi, Mine is a standard US model purchased from Amazon USA. In desperation I have just done a factory reset and re-installing everything again!

Hhhhmmm, bought mine in Belgium so it's a EU model. I did happen to install the stock camera app (from a nexus) a while ago, but deletet it a few days after that. Maybe it's because of that?

Well so far after doing the factory reset and re installing my apps the camera seems to be behaving. I too use a KK camera from the play store, only because it keeps things the same as on my other devices. Yesterday I found another thread reporting the same camera issues. We should join that thread. PS. We have a home in Holland although live 6 mnths in Mexico, so we are almost neighbors...

Just to let you know. Two days on and I have been working the camera app, quite a bit. It seems fine now. As mentioned I did a full factory reset and then installed everything back one by one. I didn't use Titanium or anything. So it was a bit of a pain, But the result seems to be a complete cure. :fingers-crossed:

The fact that you have a house in the Netherlands is quite cool!
And any idea why it behaves like that if you don't reset? Is it still working?

Yes four days now and the camera is stable. I try it regularly just to be sure. By factory reset, I mean factory fresh. Where the phone asks language, gmail account etc. Then I installed all my apps fresh from the play store. It took a while, but the result seems like it is worth it. Finally used TWRP to create a backup.

Ok, I will try this tomorrow and I'll report here wether it works or not.

GB version, same problem.
Rebotting saved my day.

Same problem here on the Indian version. Reboot makes it alright. anyone who knows why this is happening? Hope to get a fix soon.
Have 2 Moto G's and this problem occurs on both.

Camera fix
Ok so I've been testing the camera for 3 days now and it works just perfect. The only fix (for now) seems to be resetting the phone. You can find this under settings - Back-up and reset (don't know how this menu is called in English, as my phone is in Dutch).
Be aware, it WILL erase everything so make sure to back things up.

@GregoryDelaey Hi, I am pleased to hear that the effort resulted in a good outcome for you. I was convinced that my phone had a hardware camera problem. But its now 10 days and the camera so far is faultless. Yesterday I tried some other camera apps to see if I could improve the camera. One called Snap Camera did seem to give marginally better results. But in the end I decided to stay with the Kitkat version. It doesn't have HDR but I decided that I could achieve the same thing by photo editing on my PC.

Camera Update
Ok, so the last few days I got the error again. It appears when I start the camera app, then it crashes and after that I can start the app again and start taking pictures.
But today, an update for the camera was released on the play story, it says it has several bug fixes + support for android 4.4.2. I think this might be the update we were waiting for. I'll test it this weekend to see if it is.

I have camera issues as well, running CM11 on my European Moto G. I only noticed it when I actually tried to take a picture, the camera app would crash then. My wife has a stock Moto G and told me about a camera update yesterday, but she wasn't sure where it came from, only that she did not have to reboot. I was wondering whether I would have to flash a new radio to get this fix, but now that I know that it apparently came from the Play Store I'm not sure what to do atm .
Rebooting does help by the way.

Yes the new update comes from the play store and it's from Motorola themselves. They updated the camera app to be compatible with Android 4.4.2. so that means it won't crash anymore (at least for me it doesn't). Can't help you with your camera issue though, seeing that you're on a custom rom.

[Q] New Shield Tablet with major lag issues. What should I do?

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.

I am running lollipop on my nexus 5 and it's fantastic. It's fast, stable and has zero issues for me.

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.

Problems after Lollipop update (Help needed)

Hi guys,
Ever since I updated to Lollipop especially after the recent update to 5.1.1, everything is screwed up.
The google camera doesn't work so I had to uninstall it to atleast get the phone's camera working. Flashlight turns off after a while.
I'm not receiving calls as those who call get the message that my phone is switched off even though my phone is in my hands SWITCHED ON.
What the hell should I do? Its pissing me off.

I just updated to LMY48B and the camera is laggy as hell -- pretty much unusable. I don;t know what to tell you except maybe try another camera app? I'm still looking for something myself. I use my camera constantly and this has made it worthless. Almost cause for rolling back to KitKat.

Those are uncommon issues. I suggest you to start from scratch by flashing the factory images.
Camera MX is a nice alternative app.
