Nexus 7 freezing issues

Alright, I am currently on my third Nexus 7 and getting a little frustrated. I really love this device and would love to customize it the way I want but I hold back just in case I have to return another one. My question is, is anyone else experiencing problems with their tablet randomly freezing? I havent seen any forums discussing this particular problem. I have a hunch it could be the Facebook app that is causing this but that is just a theory. Below is a video of said freezing problems. Sorry for the quality; it was late, i was drinking and enjoying Netflix.

Not that I've heard of, but a quick forum search would easily confirm or deny this.
Edit reason: added detail.

If your anything like me I'm constantly force stopping apps because why should they still be running of I'm not using it, right? Well I was having the same issue as you. Freezing and studdering on a quad core CPU. Mainly it was freezing in the settings menu. So I stopped force closing all these apps I usually do and the freezing stopped. I'm on about a week in with my 3rd nexus 7 and not one freeze. So if you do do as I do try just letting the apps be and "kill" them instead.

The way android is designed, apps are supposed to run in the background. Your not supposed to have a lot of free ram. 100 mb of free ram is the same as 5 mb... If it's free ram it isn't doing anything but being wasted just sitting there. Task killers are useless since eclair 2.1.the reason apps run the in the background is so you can open an app where you last left off. Among lots of other reasons. Let android manage the tasks it's really good at it.

I've had a few freezing issues on my nexus 7. I've only had it a couple of days. It becomes completely unresponsive for minutes and never recovers. I have to hold down the power button until it shuts off (20 seconds maybe).
I've had a number of other quirks that really show (to me) that you get what you pay for. Its a cheap tablet with a top end CPU/GPU, but that's about it.
Not sure what my next step is, but I doubt I would be happy with the shortcomings of the Nexus 7 even if I had a perfect device. I think I just like higher end devices is all, and I don't mind paying more for something that just works with no compromise.
Again just my opinion.

No such problems here, but if I were you I would use the Linux command line commands : top, ps, free, df. With those you should be able to find out if an app or process is misbehaving. You need to install the terminalIDE app and read about those commands.

Freezing issues
I just purchsed one... Used it for 2 days. After using for a while I consistantly had freezing, particularly when typing. I called it in for a RMA refund. Don't know what the issue is, but moving on to something more tried and true.

Freezing - yes now and then...
My Nexus 7 freezes occasionally. I have noticed that when it restarts there's a bunch of updates. Me thinks that maybe the CPU was busy doing updates while I was keying in / touching the screen etc and couldn't cope...but maybe not. These apps seem to update a lot, same goes for my notso :silly: smartphone.

Anybody else come back to your Nexus 7 that is actually completely off and requires a power button and volume down hold in order to restart? Also I find the Android OS is consuming much of the battery in some instances.

Bought my N7 three days ago and it worked brilliantly after installing all my apps from the play store then I got the message to update the OS from 4.2 to 4.2.1 which I duly obliged. Thereafter it was a totally different device with crazy stuttering just swiping home screens and and solid freezes on chrome which was especially bad. I had to do at least half dozen soft re sets when everything ground to a halt and a factory wipe none of which helped. I spent this afternoon using the nexus toolkit to unlock+root my N7 and installed nightly CyanogenMod 10.1 with jb20121212 Gapps and individually reinstalled+tested every app from play store including Chrome. Its (thankfully) now buttery smooth again and I've not had any problems whatsoever in the past 8 hours of using it. This surprised me as CM10.1 is based on 4.2.1 and maybe suggests its a problem with the stock Gapps included in the OTA?
I love android but Google are releasing these updates before they're ready and it makes the OS look unreliable in the eyes of the average consumer who has no interest in rooting and flashing roms.

I bought my wife a first generation Nexus 7 about 2 years ago and everything was fine with the tablet and is now updated with stock 4.4.4. Recently she started noticing that it would freeze for no reason and finally it got to the point where it would freeze very soon after it was booted up. I cleaned the cache and factory reset but the problem persisted. Obviously the unit is out of warranty but I called Asus to see if they could offer any advice. The only answers I got was that they couldn't do anything and it sounded like there was a problem with the motherboard. They also told me I could sent the tablet in for repairs but it would probably cost around $200! After laughing out loud at this ridiculous amount I told them I'd just go buy a Samsung Tab 4 for my wife and forget the Nexus. I bought the 8 inch Tab 4 and my wife is happy with the functioning of the product. BUT, I decided to give the Nexus 7 another chance at life so I utilized the Nexus Root Toolkit and I kept the stock 4.4.4 ROM instead of going the custom ROM route. I am pleased to report that there was NO motherboard problem and this tablet is working great so I am now the proud owner of the Nexus 7.

3year later. Still the same on 5.0.2
I really want to break this tablet on someones head who made it.

After 5.02 ...
It slowed down substantially. I did the "clear cache" which helped a little. It's so slow web browsing that I may as well not even try ... often 15 seconds to a minute to respond to a link click.
SO ... use it mostly for the Kindle app. I don't think it is the app fault, but when it locks up now, I see nothing on the screen; finally determined that it was in the process of downloading an update to some app or another, and the downloading locks the system if the kindle app is on the screen ... and seems to be a major slowdown other times.
Maybe there will be a 5.03 getting the performance back to KitKat levels.

Play Store doesn't remember position in list

Hi,
I recall this being a problem on android years ago, and it was fixed, but appears to be back. If I am browsing apps in the Play Store, each time I back out of an app screen to the app list, the list repositions itself at the top, rather than reflecting the position I was at before I clicked into a specific app screen. When working through a large list this is a real frustration.
I haven't seen anyone else complaining of this which makes me wonder if somehow it is just me. I have tried clearing data, and uninstalling updates to no avail, and this issue has persisted across two factory resets.
I am running the stock factory ROM with the Trinity 7 kernel.
Any thoughts?

Yes, it does it for me and is very annoying.
Makes no difference whether I use the store button or the nexus back button.

Glad to know it's not just me, but surprised there hasn't been more noise about this. Unbelievable that something so simple can be overlooked.

same here, it works fine on my SGS2, but the list pops back to the top when on the Nexus.

Use Google Play in landscape mode...
Sent from my Nexus 7

^This..
Hold it landscape, you'll have your list on the left and it doesn't move on it's own as you go through installing.

I'm having this problem as well. No matter what I do its always going back to the top.

This is very annoying it does it on both my android devices, which is the Epic 4g Touch aka Samsung Galaxy S2 and Nexus 7, when you are looking at your apps history in the play store app. So when I want to scroll through my previous apps say on my nexus 7 and its incompatible and I hit back it goes to the top after I just scrolled through 1or 2 hundred apps. Same thing on my epic 4g touch. Also I think they should make it so you can just check off as many apps as you want like in email to delete but in the apps store so you can install multiple apps like if you factory reset or are into rooting. I hope they do something about this soon.

It does it on all of my android devices and yes it makes me mental as well. Also, why in the hell would they get rid of the purchased apps area? That is more annoying to me then going to the top every time.

That too is very annoying

Well, I found the Android bug site and, what do you know, other people have noticed this, too. So, if this annoys you, add a "star" to this bug report on Android's Google Code listing:
This is a crazy bug and I want to stop it.
For shame, Google, for shame!

I reinstalled all my apps manually for the first time in ages when I got my nexus 7. (Titanium is the bomb) and I about went crazy having to scroll through this massive list over and over...Google really needs to fix that!

Play Store laggy?

It seems very slow once you tap an app to see its details, or hit back to get out of it. Many times you can even see the transition animation pause in the middle. Scrolling and browsing is fine. I come from using an Atrix running CM10, and while the N4 is way faster in everything else, the play store shows no improvement whatsoever. Is it just me or shouldn't Google do a better job optimizing this app, given how frequently it is used.

Same experience here.

Home lag on verizon versions?!?! *LAUNCHER REDRAW updated w/ vids*

i don't get it...how has no review shown this at all?
when you go home, the phone lags out for like 2 seconds. you can't switch screens..it's like it's unresponsive for a second or two before it starts chugging along. this wasn't shown in any video at all.
try it with keyboard up or without..you'll notice it with keyboard, because when you hit home, it takes like 3-4 seconds for the keyboard to dropdown and go away..that's bc it's like hung up when you're going home.
anyone else notice this? other than that, this phone rocks.
*edit*
the issue is def launcher redraw. when it's redrawing, it doesn't allow you to switch between homescreens or open folders, and it's a delayed response if you attempt to. hopefully our devs can do a modded launcher that won't redraw, or we can get some kinda bulletproof launcher script going.
VIDEOS:
of course when i went to film it, i couldn't get it to do it. took forever, but i finally got something. it isn't the 100% frozen issue, but it shows it getting caught mid-home screen because it's trying to redraw the launcher.

**NOTIFICATION DROPDOWN LAG SOLVED**
and here's the super annoying notification dropdown lag on the lockscreen (this happens when youre on the launcher and you unlock..if you're in a settings menu and your phone locks, and then you hit power and do the dropdown on your lockscreen, it WON'T lag like this..it will only lag if the last place you were was the launcher. wtf is up with this stupid launcher? lol)
turns out that you CAN NOT set a homescreen wallpaper to NON SCROLL, or else you get this annoying lag. as long as you set a wallpaper to SCROLL, then it won't lag at all. makes absolutely NO sense, but yeah. just tested.

Can you explain this a bit more? I am not entirely sure what you are referring to. I assume you are saying when in a messaging app and you have the keyboard up? My keyboard drops pretty quickly but i am also using thumbkeyboard. I've always had issues with stock keyboards.

I just got my vzw g2 and am not experiencing this problem. Will update though if i notice it at all

Mine doesn't do this. Sounds like you got a dud.

lol i doubt i got a dud. although, i did have to return the first one the second i powered it on bc of dust under screen adn dead pixels. they gave me such a hard time because they're a bunch of morons at corporate stores and weren't going to let me exchange it.
had to lay down the law on their asses. bunch of douchebags lol
anyway, doesn't happen everytime...any of you use swiftkey? when youre using the keyboard and you just hit home, it stays up for like, 3 seconds or so. it's getting caught up somewhere with the launcher perhaps.
oh well, no biggie. phones sweet.

ha i should've known it was swiftkey! bah.
i remember when i got the gs4 there were reports of swiftkey literally lagging down the phone by just being installed, even when not in use.
i LOVE that keyboard, but damnit, they really need to optimize it correctly!

Have to agree about SwiftKey. It lags on my nexus 7. It is absolutely frustrating on my gnex. Seems to run fairly well on the nexus 4 and on the s3 with aokp.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

eh just uninstalled swiftkey and it made no difference. it's like when you go home, wait a second and then start scrolling, or else you'll notice lag. i'll just stop trying to be so speedy on my phone

A phone with these specs shouldn't lag. I sure hope the bootloader gets unlocked so aosp can be installed. That made a huge difference on the s3. I personally haven't gotten the phone yet. I am trying out a nexus 4 on t-mobile. Unfortunately, I get no signal in my house. So t-mobile is a no go. I was hoping this could be my next Verizon phone, because my gnex lags terribly. Using this nexus 4 is spoiling me quickly.

If your device lags. Swap it out now.

People, if your device lags in hangouts, while scrolling through menus, or just seems slow go get it swapped. Its not all touchwiz by any means. You have a defective device.
I just swapped mine out tonight and its literally night and day comparing the new one and the one I returned. The device is far more responsive and actually performs as I was originally expecting it to. And believe me I tried everything but then I thought to myself why on earth should I have to fix a brand new top of the line device? It was ridiculous. Unnaceptable actually.
I went back to my Verizon corporate store and they had zero issues with me swapping it out and there were no restocking fees or anything like that.
I know this has been covered in other threads but most of those have been filled with random side posts that aren't getting to the real point. So please, do yourself a favor and go get a replacement note 4 before your 14 days are up!

+1 I agreed with you 100%.

Hmm.. weird. I m getting nasty lag in hangouts and a little hank in other places.. I went to try to exchange right now and every store is out.... I did update hangouts on 4 store phones and they all had the same lag when scrolling and sending messages.
I guess I could call customer service but I bet their sold out. Not convinced so many people have a bad device though. . Wonder if it's some software issue..

hangouts lag is not enough to warrant a replacement though. hangouts has lagged since day 1 for me on every device I've owned except a pure aosp rom or device. it's just how hangouts is. it's poorly optimized for each manufacturers skin. Samsung was typically the worst. then LG. then htc. but yeah, hangouts has been laggy since I had the gs4. my tab s is laggy too. it's a combination for me of swiftkey and hangouts. swiftkey lags awfully in hangouts, but in other apps it's ok.

It was all bad. I don't know if I can relate it to any apps specifically as it seemed like something inherently wrong with the device's software that was loaded. Every app opened slowly. Switching tasks was glitchy and every menu scrolled choppy. It was terrible.

To counter that, the hangouts lag significantly decreased upon swapping devices. You are correct that there was always some lag in hangouts but on the old note 4 I would open the app and watch the spinning circle for up to 3 or 4 seconds at some points. It also put my keyboard to almost a hault. And the messages glitched every time one was sent. I get none of that now which is so relieving. So in my case it was warranted bc all my issues were solved.

It was kind of hard to describe. Honestly it just seemed slow. Didn't react to what I was doing hardly ever. There was always a delay that you could see was not touchwiz related. I had a note 3 that was stock at one point and rooted at another and both those devices were beating my brand new note 4. This for me was enough to at least go back and try a second one.

I think when we are talking about lags, we're talking about everything, not just one specific app. The entire phone is lags, like in settings, home screen, launching apps etc...

Mine only lags when I'm downloading apps while doing other things. If that's considered as a defective device then I can still return it, hoping to get a white one.

Hey...mine doesnt have any serious lag, as some are mentioming, but it is choppy as hell when scrolling through FB, Instagram, Messenger, Hangouts, etc etc...and web pages are slow loading, even on wifi...i mean, i hated my G3 due to lag, but in these mentioned instanced, it beat the crap out of this. I hate to think i might have made a mistake trading off of the G3

Those with lag issues have you disabled all the bloatware? This was huge for me as soon as I did the device ran smooth. Switched animations to .5 and now we are rocking with no hiccups except I can't update Shealth without it FC launching.

While I think it makes sense, part of "knows" is doesn't make sense. I don't know how a device would be defective and only lags on hangouts. Hangouts lags on my Galaxy S5, Note 4 and G3. Lags on my Tab S 8.4... it doesn't lag on my Original Moto X. I'd love to get my device swapped specially if it is defective but I don't see how it could be the case.
Also, when I first got my phone, hangouts wasn't lagging. I deleted my conversations and it wasn't lagging up until I had a decent amount of messages again...
Installed an older version of hangouts and doesn't lag. I mean, how can this be the phone and not the message?
I think lag on 1 app could be more related to the app itself and not hardware issue. Maybe hangouts isn't optimized to our screen resolution yet...

While I think it makes sense, part of "knows" is doesn't make sense. I don't know how a device would be defective and only lags on hangouts. Hangouts lags on my Galaxy S5, Note 4 and G3. Lags on my Tab S 8.4... it doesn't lag on my Original Moto X. I'd love to get my device swapped specially if it is defective but I don't see how it could be the case.
Also, when I first got my phone, hangouts wasn't lagging. I deleted my conversations and it wasn't lagging up until I had a decent amount of messages again...
Installed an older version of hangouts and doesn't lag. I mean, how can this be the phone and not the message?
I think lag on 1 app could be more related to the app itself and not hardware issue. Maybe hangouts isn't optimized to our screen resolution yet...

I was wondering this as well if it was more an issue on the app side rather than the hardware/OS. I have a couple apps/games which just seem to lag horribly but others are stupid fast.
Is there anyway to narrow down defective or just a laggy app?

I only see small lag in hangouts when i search for someone because it looks up also their hangouts chat that is all every other app works fine.
So im good ?
