Hey guys,
Every since I installed the update my tablet has apps crashing on it and it's just unresponsive all the time. Also things seem to lag more. Everything except games..Even the settings menu crashes.
Anyone else encounter this after the new update? .
Thanks,
Ovi
Back up your apps and do a factory reset?
4.2.1 has been quite slow on my tf700, UI is a lot less responsive, but I have had zero crash (apart from the stock browser, which I have accepted as a fact of life by now). Nevertheless, I have no doubt that a factory reset will solve everything, it is just that I am too lazy to back up and all. I have copied quite a lot of stuff on my tablet, so it will take a few hours to restore everything.
Suppose so but it always good to have a backup.
Use the ASUS MyBackUp? Worked well for me and was fairly quick. Just try to avoid restoring system app data
Makes sense. I just bought a 32 Gb micro SD card to back up stuff. Hopefully the factory reset helps but it's really unbelievable how laggy it is. Almost unusable at times.
I will only restore game data and dropbox since they are so big.
I will post back with the result.

I just wanted to say that I was having the same problem. I updated a few weeks ago and ever since, I've been putting up with a slow piece of crap with terrible battery life. I finally decided to bite the bullet and reset yesterday and ever since, the tablet has been faster than ever. I highly recommend doing the reset.
Backup Guide?
Is there a guide on how to back up and restore? I want to keep most of my settings and stuff. Ideally, I want to back up everything, do the factory reset, transfer files back and have it be just the same.

So both me a my wife have the g2x, and we're both getting really fed up with them. My wifes phone is pretty unresponsive and crashes frequently, regardless of what rom she is using and if she starts from a clean flash. Could she be having a hardware problem? hers has never been overclocked at all.
My phone is much less problematic, but I still need to reflash about every 2-4 weeks, or else it becomes unusable. Whether it be the phone slowing down to a crawl, or like last week, I couldn't make calls after it being pulled from the charger until I restart. I seems like no matter what ROM I use, it always starts out blazing fast, then everything goes to hell in a few weeks. Both me and my wife are using the CyanogenMod Nightly from February (It has been the most stable to me, even more so than the march release).
Is there a more stable ROM that would suit us better?
At this point, I just want a phone that I don't have to mess around with for it to work, and have it keep working without having to reflash every month. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Stock ROM. But CM7.2 shouldn't be crashing on you like that. Do a full wipe?
Switch to old baseband (if you use Bluetooth) and flash weapon g2x. It is stock based with some nice mods
-- The noob says:
This just in... my IQ has increased 50 points thanks to the g2x!
Works fine for my P999DW
I'm currently using MIUI Stock w/ Optimizations. So far i haven't had any problems with this rom, and I've used it multiple times. It has a wide variety of themes that are very eye captivating, and even w/o OC my phone is blazing fast.
If you two love to install lots of apps and worry about your phone slowing because of excessive apps, then :good: MIUI.
I'm currently running on Trinity Kernal.
Also, if you don't prefer MIUI, and and still experience FC's and other instability errors, try getting a bigger microSD, and having apps like games, LW, etc. on the SD, saves more internal memory, and in turn, leaving more room for the smooth butter to glide :cyclops:
Hi guys, before I update to nougat and sacrifice my xposed modules, can you guys share your thoughts/experience about this new update? Is there a big improvement on battery life or performance? Problems?
Sorry, I don't want to risk going back to 6.0.1 and brick my device, but this will help some like me. Thanks guys!
Hi, I noticed a real improvement with performances compared to 4.4, it's really really smooth, no bugs, no lags, no crashs
Battery is a bit better but slower to charge.
And gaming is better too, I was with an OC Kernel and now with stock 5.0 it's better.
Nougat on shield is a real improvement for me. But you should wait recovery image for a clean installation.
I dont see any advanteges of nougat. Nothing really change
There's a bit of a performance increase, but I've noticed some strange bugs...It takes much longer to charge my tablet, and there's quite a few wakelocks...Even the screen comes on by itself (This is after a complete wipe after upgrading, then having Google download the same apps I had before the upgrade).. Cant place my finger on the issue, but its a bit disappointing so far. Might wipe and start over or wait for an optimized stock from one of our nice devs here at XDA.
What an dissapointment on nougat
I tought it also great to apdate it.. Some of a cool fetures they offers.. But afyer i update my tablet.. My tablet becomes laggy and he also heating like crazy.. And some apps may not opened.. And if he's too laggy i just reboot my tablet on/off then it quite okay.. After several apps you opened ...and here we go again.. Damn.. I just wish i could turn back my 6.1 update again.. How will i fix this ??
Performance in gaming is very good, but in overall use tablet became laggy. Nvidia is going to relase patch for 5.0 update so i hope they fix the bugs.
I dont beleive what a **** nvidia give to us. Laggy. During playing a game i cant listening to a radio. Im very, very dissapointed.
My home and recent buttons as well as notification all disappeared after the update. Could anyone suggest how I may solve this problem?
I googled around and that seems a common problem after upgrading android, and the solution is to use adb. But my adb cannot see my tablet
and I could not find a way to turn on developer's mode .... (tapping Build Number does not work...)
Thanks a lot!!
I'm seeing significant improvement in performance. It's faster opening apps, going back to home screen, app drawer, etc.
For those with laggy performance (versus MM) or other bugs, you may need to factory reset (or recovery image clean install, as another mentioned). Its fairly common on any Android device, that migrating data doesn't play well with OTA updates. I know it sucks to have to reset. But that is one of the facts of life of Android.

What Kind of charger are you using? I noticed mine doesn't seem to want to charge at all. It sat for a while powered off on my charger and didn't want to power on it would say the battery was too low. Even when I was able to get it to boot up it would power off before android came up and go back to the powered off battery charging state. I was able to finally get it to recovery mode and that is showing the battery is charging its up to 5% after a few minutes. I'm using a Samsung fast charger rated at 5V 2.0 Amp or 9V 1.67 Amp.
you are right. For me wipe cache was enough i think. I will watch out.
MY OBSERVATIONS
My System and Methods:
0. Original Shield Tablet US-LTE, TWRP 3.0.3 by BitObsession, Unrooted, Pretty much stock
1. Flashed Full image of US-WIFI 4.4 version EXCEPT USERDATA (so that everything remains the same way). After reboot, I have observed that some apps just crashes so i figure these apps had problems during the firmware change (from US LTE tpo US WIFI). so i had them all uninstalled, and re-installed.
2. Allowed OTA for WIFI 5.0 to pop-up, downloaded
3. (VERY IMPORTANT) Made sure that everything that google play has to update were all updated
4. Installed WIFI 5.0 OTA
5. Very smooth installation - NO getting stuck at Nvidia Logo for a long time (as reported by most people...could be because they were rooted?)
6. Initially, occasional lagging occurred, so i think this is cache issue. since i feel like my recovery had been overwritten to stock, i reboot the tablet. then, in the software update menu in settings, i also cleared cache. then i rebooted again., just to make sure.
7. generally, the tablet feels smoother, im enjoying split screen. sometimes, it lags.
8. NO ISSUE with charging. same as usual whether the tablet is idle or im playing casual to heavy games
9. SD card write performance is the same
10. Antutu and Geekbench numbers improved
NEXT EXPERIMENT:
flash ROW LTE 5.0 update and flash TWRP 3.3.0 so i can clear cache WILL NOT ROOT hehe
My K1 is stock. After the OTA update, I had some performance issues and issues with the Google Play Store. The issues with the Play Store went away after I got a notification that Google Play Services needed to be updated. I wound up doing a factory reset yesterday for the performance issues, and so far the tablet is running much better.

Battery issue
Before the update I had dramatic performance issues on wake up. They went nearly away with the nougat update.
But unfortunately I experience the battery issue described here:

Very slow charging. Never charges up to 100% - stops between 50% and 75%.

The only thing that helps is a factory reset. Sometimes the battery calibration gets borked - especially with a major os upgrade. I did a factory reset before the Nougat update and everything works great.
General OS performance seemed slightly better, but at a cost of higher battery drain and extremely slow charging speed. I unlocked my bootloader and rolled back to Android 6 (update 1.5).
My two cents:
Other than the horrible noise emitting from the speaker's while charging and a new inability to keep a stable wifi connection; I like it OK.
I use it for native gaming and movies. I rooted nougat and that's it. Honestly dont see a huge improvement over the last OS, maybe a tiny bit smoother.
NVIDIA still won't let you control your own power settings, offering their lame performance/power feature again . Hate it.
Battery standby time seems improved, as does the battery life while watching native movies with Dolby Atmos activated
Boot up time seems longer, and it also uses roughly half your RAM or more to operate the OS.
I can't stand the charging noise, so I am most likey going to downgrade.
Also, when you close the lid on the screen while watching a movie, (it turns off) but it now will turn back on and play if you plug or unplug the charger while the lid is closed. REALLY annoying. And often embarrassing.
I wouldn't recommend the update. i just reset my Tablet back to 5.1.1 because it became so slow that it was unusable. Constantly freezing after the downgraded to 5.1.1 and it runs as smooth as the first day.
***SIDE NOTE***
When i upgraded to 7.0 i lost 5gh wifi networks. Since downgrading they are back just a little note.
This was honestly a fantastic piece of hardware when I bought it. A little about me is that I'm a pilot and I travel non-stop. I took a job that gave me an ipad so the shield went back into the closet. I've since switched jobs again and now I've pulled it out, dusted it off, and updated it with everything. It's so slow it's unusable. Literally can't use it.
There are basically only a few things I want the tablet for. There's no games. I just want to Netflix, watch downloaded shows for when I'm in foreign countries, and look at photos. I don't even use the internet much on it I just use my phone for that. Mostly just a movie/show thing. What should I do to get it back up to par?
Basically I have nothing that's important on it but don't want to throw it away. I still think it's a great device so long as it operates like it should. What can I do to make it functional again and able to play downloaded content, sling/youtubeTV and my spotify account? I'm not sure what's happened but right now even swiping from one screen to another is very laggy and slow. If I need to root or install something custom I'm willing to I just want to get this device up and running. It's the 2014 Tegra K1 variant.
Thank you guys!
Install the new 5.2 update, do a factory reset, and do not enable "Doze". Nvidia has disabled Doze by default on the latest update to eliminate the lag. It might slightly drain the battery though, but no more lag coming out of sleep.
Stay away from tha updates!!

5.2 update made the tablet noticeably faster/smoother for me. Battery life is the same as before the update, and no issues with the update whatsoever.
Experience with an update(s) will vary from one user to another, due to all the differences in how we use our devices.
Hi everyone,
I was thrilled last night when my X3 Pro showed an upgrade to Android 12-based MIUI 13 was available. I downloaded the thing (all 3.1 GB of it...), install went without a hitch, ditto reboot, but I'm severely disappointed so far.
Everything feels slow and sluggish, even with the power slider set to Performance and the screen refresh rate pegged at 120 Hz.
Navigation in the Settings menu is OK, but all the other applications are slow to react. Scrolling up and down my Twitter timeline doesn't feel as snappy as it did before, when I was still on MIUI 12.x and Android 11.
Have any of you noticed the same thing? Did Xiaomi jump the gun with this update? I know Android must rebuild some system and application caches after each upgrade and all, but still, this doesn't quite feel right.
The only good thing is the battery life, which seems to have improved a bit, but that's all. DevCheck shows CPU peaks at 2.4 GHz under strain, but the Kryo core that's supposed to clock at 2.9 GHz never seems to wake up.
Did Xiaomi underclock the CPU the way Samsung does sometimes, to preserve battery life? Like I said, something's not right here...
Why do you even MIUI in the first place ?
I had the same. Only the factory reset showed the miui13 claw on Android 12. Tetaz everything runs smoothly. The battery holds up better.
I'm not inclined to do that just now. I've got tons of music and stuff on my phone and I really don't have the time at the moment, but push come to shove, maybe I'll have to do it.

Just updated my X3 Pro about an hour ago and I'm totally disappointed. It feels heavier and slower to respond overall. Apps like Twitter, Telegram, and Instagram seem much slower and laggy and stutter when scrolling. Twitter in particular runs like disaster. My phone was buttery smooth and did not have any lagging issue even when I tried to create one before this stupid update!!! Should I factory reset or wait for another update or something guys?

Mine is slowly getting there, in terms of ease of use and overall smoothness, so I suppose it's a matter of Android reconstructing apps and system caches after all. It's not quite as smooth as it was under 12.5.9, though, and some "features" are mildly annoying, like the fact that I have to tap the Return to home button twice to actually close some apps (but not all of them). It's hard to tell if the app itself is causing this or if it's an Android 12 trait.

I'm also seeing some improvements over time! Totally agree with you! It's getting better as things get reconstructed and stuff but STILL it feels slower than the snappy phone it was before the update. Seems we need to be patient! I don't think a factory reset is worth the time and hassle now that things are showing signs of getting back to normal.
I totally agree. I resort to factory reset only when necessary, with a gun to my head and a knife to my throat...
Let's give it a week or so and we'll see; After all, it's a big upgrade: new MIUI version + moving from Android 11 to Android 12.
Time will tell, but I'm relieved to see it's not my imagination if the phone feels slower!

Agreed! Yup, it definitely is slower to my eyes too. It's no imagination. Sure, it's a BIG update and many enhancements and fixes are to follow in the near future!
Everyone decides for himself what he wants to do. I just wrote that after the update, the phone was stuttering and restoring the factory settings made it run faster and smoother as on miui 12.5.9.0 and it heats up less
Its 2022 and people still dont get that its good to do any major updates on clean phone or do factory reset to remove any issues, official or not, its just how android work really :/
People always had such issues and they probably will have them in the future.
Its not like your life depend on getting new software, so just update later when you have some free time to do clean install or do factory reset.
It remind me of installing custom ROMs when you get feeling that its smoother. Well most of that speed came from having clean system, and after month or two you loose some of it. Here you have clooged system with your stuff and app cache, and you throw on top new OS... you will get some issues...
You guys should know that it is highly recommended to reset during a major Android update if you don't then don't be surprised by weird bugs.
its the common rule,when you are updating any rom on any device,its proper to factory reset and built from then.....i believe its a dirty installation even if you factory reset-install rom-restore data from recovery....even that it will give you some errors....noticed last time with a11,restored from backup ,and the time between restarts,is way to more.....
I have the same problem. I updated it on March 16 (Wednesday) and it's obviously buggy and slow. Google discover on the home screen was so unstable I had to remove it altogether. Phone lags in being unlocked by fingerprint, and locking it with two taps is done without any animation. Gallery is un-usable too as it's become to slow and it stutters. The game boost slider in games is un-usable as it interferes with the game so I've disabled it. I am NOT happy with this upgrade.
Battery might've improved but I suspect they've sacrificed the performance.
just install a custom rom

You can read. After all, many people wrote that after such a large update, and even more so, switching from android 11 to 12, it is advisable to do a factory reset and you will not have any problems. The fluidity will increase significantly and the battery will hold better. It's so hard to understand. The same is done when installing a custom rom.

Maybe work on your grammar and semantics first, and then talk about things being difficult to understand. It's common knowledge that a factory-reset is advisable after an upgrade, and it's not like you're imparting arcane knowledge by saying a factory-reset should be done. What is being discussed here are bugs encountered after an upgrade, and since it's android 12 it's expected that a factory reset shouldn't be needed.
Check your attitude, no one asked for help.
In my opinion, Miui's overall optimization on this phone is a disaster. In one year they haven't been able to correct the Google Discover's tremendous lag yet (I think they haven't even tried to). I have done a totally clean installation of Miui 13 Android 12 via fastboot (using miflash). I must say that the optimization now is even worse than it was before the update. The phone just feels slower. Of course we can use custom roms, but it is Xiaomi's responsability to do a much better work with their software.
I hid the notification and I will not update for a long time until I know that there are improvements to something, since the beta I read that the version has problems :/
