[Q] Slow performance.. dissapointment

[jendrassik]

OK I'm backing the general sentiment of the OP. I got my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) in the UK at the turn of the year and was happy with the performance. 4.0.2 OTA ruined it! End of.

Stutters when transitioning from app drawer to widgets drawer....general lag on some apps etc, that was not there on 4.0.1. I tried rooting, and flashing 4.0.2 stock again to see if it was something wrong with my OTA update....nada.

I'm sticking with it until the next OTA as this was one phone I didn't want to root and flash a new rom every 5 seconds, but I'm a bit annoyed that 4.0.2 caused the lag it did!

Before anyone comments that they have stock 4.0.2 and have no lag.....I'm over the moon for you...but a little search will show you MANY MANY posts from people who have stock 4.0.2 and do!

Huge lag and touchscreen missing touches after 4.0.2 Ota... hoping next ota to fix these all

The GN is not as fast as the Exynos GSII

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and it has AOKP build 25 with Fugomod kernel on it and this thing still is laggy. I tried many different roms and kernels and it still lags.

Some people say they have a buttery smooth Nexus and I'm jealous of you because mine feels like a 700mhz single core phone with 256mb of ram.

What's the deal? Why is it lagging (stock keyboard, browsing, app drawer, etc)

Am I glad to people actually discussing on here rather than bashing.
The point of this thread was for me to find out if other people had thought the same thing I did in regards to overall speed of the phone. Did I say gnex sucks, or ICS sucks or that I hate the phone so much that I regret the purchase? No.
If I wanted to return the phone I would have done it long ago. I don't need to come on here to "bash" or ask for advice on whether I should return it.

Obviously I love the gnex. But would love to know why it is not as snappier as the RAZR. And what the reason could be. Is it because ICS is resource heavy? Or the hardware not completely optimized for ICS. Or is it because the software buttons (back, home, multitask) are a lot slower than the hardware ones.

It is a discussion. If you think that this post is bashing on your precious phone then don't read it and don't reply. Simple as that. We have the best phone in the world, most of us, including myself, waited forever for ICS, waited forever for the newest nexus and even watched amazing phones come and go while anxiously holding onto our upgrades and not giving in. And when it launched most of us purchased it the day it came out. Having endured all of that, at the end I feel as though the nexus hasn't made me 100% happy because of the speed.....

Well i dont find my nexus slow. But yes ICS is significantly more resource intensive than GB. And its pushing more pixels too than most devices. We can see how much of our 1gb of ram is actually locked up for other use like graphics and OS. But i still dont see any speed issues personally. Updates can only improve things.

I dont find the nexus slow. But arent all our phones, razr, nexus, etc all using the same cpu? We all have dual core cortex A9 of some sort.

RAZR and Gnex has the same OMAP 4 SOC.

I wouldn't call it a huge lag but mine has a few microstutters here and there

also my pattern lock input doesn't register sometimes but the phone unlocks few seconds after i've already unlocked the pattern

RAZR and Gnex has the same OMAP 4 SOC.

RAZR is omap 4430 overclocked.

Nexus is 4460 underclocked so....


Not literally the same, but same performance.

Such a noob thread

Dont know what's worse, a noob think he knows, or a cheaky noob calling other guy noobs.

Do you think we can use the systemui.apk that had the 4g hspa icon from b25 on b26?

My phone is totally 4g coz I haz 4g icon.
faketastically tacky ftw.
That's not even the main reason the post is so noobish

aren't they essentially the same except for the GPU clock speed?

I think you must do full wipe 2 or 3 time, download the official CM9 nightly and the r143 FuguMod and say after what do you think... My Gnex burn in my hand with this so...

I appreciate that you went to quote me from the aokp thread.. at least you worked at being a troll. Yes I use a 4g icon on my hspa device.

well, its PNG swaps... you can mod it urself if you weren't so noobish let alone thinking awesome 4g icon makes the phone more legit or feel faster.
Your post basically says that you have no ground on calling anything noob like you did.

Then you say i am trolling bcoz I called u out on it, don't let that grey matter work too hard now.

Someone is cranky.

I don't claim to be an android whiz... but if you think the galaxy nexus is slow. Then I'm going to call you a noob

Maybe if you dug a little deeper...

I know that it's 3g but looking up and seeing 4g makes it "feel" faster.. what can I say, ignorance is bliss

Watching "The Wire" and trolling s2d4 at the same time on my phone proves 3 things

1. Android can multitask
2. I'm super 1337 n00b
3. I like making lists
