Is somebody facing issue on 4.2.1 when deleting last photo in gallery — camera app is appearing? And if I press back button — there is camera app appearing again, because there is empty album in gallery.

No fair, I did not receive a hardware update with 4.2?
(j/k) But seriously, the lagginess in the 4.2 camera app and everywhere else makes me want to go back to 4.1.2. It was so buttery smooth, I did not think it could get any better. But rather than root and downgrade I am hopeful I can keep sane while waiting for the next update.
I agree with another that this is the first android phone I did not root and change Rom's as it did not seem necessary with all the improvements in ICS (until maybe now).
Umm, yes you can. You pay them $500 for this phone.

I don't think you know what lag means. Android 4.2.1 is full of glitches and lags. For an example, just go to the recent apps list and swipe one app off. If you tell me you dont find lag there, you are a liar.

Running muzzy with tiny kernel and I get no lag what so ever.

My pictures in the gallery are taking quite a bit to load every time I view them. But other than that, 4,2 works fine
Well, I did exactly this test and I did not notice any lag. I have to say that I never used 4.1.2 on the gnex, but on my previous nexus s. In any case, I cannot imagine the sliding down of remaining apps faster than what I saw.

To all the people *****ing about lag and blah blah no one is forcing you with a gun to your head to run 4.2.1. You do know you can just run 4.1.2 or even 4.0 if you want. Complaining all day isn't going to fix the problems any faster. So relax and let the kinks be worked out. When iOS 6 came out it was also buggy but apple is working them out. I know I have an iPad 3. I mean you're mad at a company that will never care or see your comments lol. It will get better with time...

I read of a lot of people trying to convince others that 4.2 is laggy and buggy but very few of them which also do a minimum analysis of what they discover.
Some people, me too, are happy with 4.2.1: no lag and almost the same battery life of 4.1.
First of all: to do a correct comparison we should only compare the same ROM and stock should be the one.
The 2nd big point nobody told here is about apps: since I have no lags even in the task switcher, I'm not a liar and I know very well what lag is I can say there must be some other thing eating resources. Most probably a third party app, an app enabled for a country but not for others, a custom kernel (zram comes to mind) or some customization done on the ROM.
The fact is, anyway, that for some ppl the user experience changed but we will be only talking about nothing serious until we don't point down the differences between who says 4.2 is good and who says it is not.
I don't have the power to see in everybody's mobile what is installed but if you really want to help people having issues should post at least a description like:
- description of the problem
- steps to reproduce
- ROM version
- kernel version
- from settings, applications, in use tab: used and free ram and active processes (when you get the issue)
I think that if google messed up something it's not that obvious like saying 4.2 is **** but if you have a problem, want to rollback but still haven't done it this thread should help us to have a better future release.
Just my 2 cents.
Hope it helps.

I'm using un-official AOKP rom (4.2.1), and battery is really bad now (@.@), but the performance is extremely good, very smooth.
Phone idle use nearly 19% battery. And battery drains very fast
Phone idle use nearly 19% battery. And battery drains very fast
19% in how much time? I usually get more than 24h on battery, will report phone idle drain at the next recharge but this is influenced on which networks phone connects (2g/3g) and if you for example are travelling (more cell tower switches means more drain).
I'm running stock odexed with air kernel.

Yesterday I have to charge 2 times in 24 hours with only 2 hours on screen time per charge.
I search from the Internet that mostly phone has 4 or 5% percent for that phone idle or similar.
Do you know which process take responsibility for Phone Idle, android os, android system?

No one thats my point. So all you people crying should just give it a rest.

Can you take a screenshot of in use applications in settings?
If we have an evidence we can file a bug to Google even if they don't read xda.

Im not having problems with battery life at all, I think it`s really decent from morning `till night when I put it to charge (having wi-fi and 3G always on)
On the other hand I`m having 2 small issues:
1. sometimes (really rare but happens) when I answer a call, phone keeps still ringing. Dont know why is this happenning or I am the only one having this issue.
2. Common issue with slow lockscreen response and long waiting to lock when pressing lock button. This was far better on 4.1.2
Hoping that next update will fix this, at least better response on lock screen button.
Cheers

268First Impression after 24 Hours
Preamble: Flashed a fastboot factory images odexed and no root with full wipe
Pro :
- Wifi signal and new Radio it's better. (Europe/France)
- Wifi option for battery safe work very well.
- Battery life it's a bit improve. (Not as well as i expected)
- Camera Effect integrated are very useful, don't need third party apps for common effect.
- Google Now have a separated shortcut from lockscreen (For me it's Better).
- DayDream, i Like it.
- Keyboard it's good, not soo awesome but it's good.
Downside :
- Toogle Widget idea it's good but they need to transform these in a real widget.
- Battery percentage should be integrated in the battery icons (Why not?? all phone have this option)
- Lockscreen widget are a good idea too, but they seems too me a little immature.
- Camera shortcut on widget (Very annoying if you make a mistake on swype).
- When the lockscreen appears for first second you see that horrible lateral edges.
- T9 search contacts (I don't know why??).
- Wallpaper are always the same and some of that haven't the good size to apply.
- Sound are always the same and very poor loudness (Why???).
What I'd Like :
- Integrated battery % (obv)
- Lockscreen configurable from Setting an not from the lockscreen so u don't have all that **** on it.
- An improved sound.
- The Utopia of battery life ( I have now given up)
- Wallpaper and sound must be upgrated (Fix the size of some of that).
- Toogle widget as a real widget.
- Meteo widget possible in the lockscreen.
For Now it' all. (i hope they do this in a future 5.0)
I know that all of this this maybe will be improved on CM, AOKP, Etc.. Etc.. ; but i always ask to myself WHY???? if a "normal people", it's not my case, don't wanna go through "framework, adb, fastboot, wipe, system, jar, etc... etc..." , must have the possibility of usage his device at least pleasant.
It's Obvious that for other things u need a CUSTOM ROM.
PS: Sorry for my Bad English, but i think you get the idea.85
I'll get Matias Duarte on the phone immediately. Do you mind if I link to your comment so the ui design team can know who to go to for instructions on how to design Androids next iteration?
