Has anyone else had problems with this device locking up / running very slow? It only seems to happen when I launch a new app, but it doesn't seem to depend on which app it is. The device just has a go-slow and usually needs a soft-reset. Opening they keyboard does not rotate the screen any more, but does draw some pretty weird icons on the side of the screen ;-)
Interested to hear other people's experiences before I start digging to try and discover the cause.
Thanks

Mine seems to be running pretty well. Occasionally it'll slow down a little but not enough to affect running apps etc. I've not really had any more than a one second delay with screen rotation. Have you got the O2 Active UI installed?

Nope. It was awful with O2Active installed (as usual). Mine is configured in "basic" mode.
wizrd running slow
You have an 200Mhz device running WM2005.The ROM is not a final one ... improvments for o2 active are still made ( by the way the software is for unexperienced users mostly if you carefully read the setup panel)...So you just have to wait for the entire software to get improved
Hello. I've been getting really slow market downloading as of late even with wifi on it crawls. Can take up to two minutes to download 1mb. It use to be way faster than this a while back sadly this had been going on for a while. I also have a rooted Nook Color and it downloads 7mb apps in 15 seconds. Any suggestions to fix my market download speed on my Evo?
Found a fix. It may have been I had market updater on freeze using titanium backup trying to keep black market on Myn's warm Rom. Well it didn't stay black anyway so I guess I just forgot about it. I defrost it and everything seems to be working now after market updated in the background. Also made my 3g faster than ever by using ad free and switch my custom ip to 0.0.0.0.
Thanks everyone who atleast looked be sure to make your 3g speeds faster with that tip if you haven't.
i have had similar issue. sometimes market downloads slow, sometimes it doesnt. and sometimes when i copy files to phone from pc it takes forever, sometimes it doesnt. just depends on how the phone wants to act i guess lol
Hello Everyone,
I've been having this issue for a while (4.2.1 and 4.2.2) where web pages/images/streaming audio simply stop loading at random. Data Arrows stop and about 20 seconds later, it may finally load. The progress bar in chrome freezes during this. Refreshing the page loads the content instantly. Pandora/Slacker typically require a song skip to resume play.
The most reliable way to replicate is browsing imgur gallerys where it happens almost every 5th image. Moving around the city produces the same problem and AT&T says everything is fine on their end. APN settings are correct as well as seeing above average speed tests on HSPA+.
I've tried searching on several popular Nexus 4 forums and found no reports of this problem.
It does not occur on Wireless, only Mobile data.
Does anyone else have this problem (radio to blame) or is my phone possibly defective?
Wiping the device clean and flashing 4.2.2 stock produces the same results.

Ive been having this same problem. When my phone is on wifi data works fine but sometimes when i am using cellular data my data will cut out just like yours. Im on ST with AT&T and i think it has a lot to do with their network not so much your phone.

I'm having the problems. It's specially obvious when sending a Whatsapp message. It sits idle for a while then eventually the message gets sent.
+1 I often need to refresh Web pages and such to get them to fully load even with perfect h+ data. I'm also on att with Straight Talk, wonder if anyone knows of a fix.
Nexus 4
ATT Straight Talk $45/mo
running xylon nightlies 4.2.2 franco r83
^(subject to change often)^
I had an much higher amount of occurrences when I was originally on Straight Talk AT&T. Porting over to true AT&T resolved a lot, but they still exist.
This leads me to believe it may just be AT&T's network, but wouldn't other phones experience the same? None of my other friends on AT&T (with different phones) have experienced this or they simply don't notice.
I get the same problem as well. It also happened on my inspire when I was using that a couple years ago. Never could figure out why. I guess its a network issue.

If you are using an AT&T mvno or using prepaid AT&T, this is normal.
AT&T prioritizes postpaid traffic over prepaid.
Even happens on all iPhone models I've owned. (3gs, 4s, and 5)

I have a Nook color wiped with a full version of the last stable release of CM7. It works well, but with that irritating problem of wifi reliability.
I would like to upgrade to CM10.1. The goal is to use the Nook as a development platform, while still sharing it with my wife to actually read books.
Here is the questions: Is release candidate two (RC2) of Cyanogenmod 10.1 stable enough on the Nook for daily use? I want the latest and greatest, but I don't have the time to constantly be chasing down problems, nor do I want my wife to kill me because her "book reader" has become unstable.
Do I hold out for RC3, wait for a stable release, or jump right in with RC2?
All comments and suggestions are welcome.
While CM10/4.1 was promising, CM10.1/4.2 has been a pain.
The interface seems all weird (it use a Phone interface instead of Tablet), and the performance makes the Nook Color nearly unusable. I'm talking single-digit framerates and choppy scrolling.
Personally, I found PA to be smoothest I tried... surprisingly smooth for the NC.
YMMV
I don't know about the others, I lost WiFi connections once every 2-3 hours using the most recent builds including rc2.
The fix is just turning the eifi off and on again.
However I never got sod so it is acceptable for me.
Thanks for the info guys, but the question is still up in the air. What condition is CM10 in for the nook? The wifi issues in CM7 make it useless as a connected device anywhere except with my home router (go figure). Is anyone using CM10 as their daily driver, and if so what build are you using, and where would you place the frustration level on a scale from one to 10?

I'm using CM10.1, RC2, and I'm having only very minor issues that are probably due to the ancient hardware (Flipboard sometimes freezes on me after 10 minutes, and browsers are slow, except for the very light Naked Browser). Everything I need works great, including wifi. I took it on a three week business trip to South America recently and only used my laptop once, doing email every day with no hiccups. I think it helps to tweak some settings, and use the Seeder app. Scrolling isn't butter smooth, but it's very good. Frustration level close to 0. Go figure.
I used CM10.1 for few months, it worked very good. I would say my frustration level maybe 1, and pretty much nothing compared to the satisfaction. I liked the key board, wifi connection, HD video play (for example in youtube), Browser and new UI in CM10.1 over 7.2.
recently I upgraded to CM10.1 RC4. I also did the following things to make it better. after boot up, it still has close to 150 MB memory.
1. tablet UI by autopatcher.
2. V6 SuperCharger
3. ES Task Manager to disable some startup services like Email, Email Exchange and etc.
4. Seeder.
The result is very good. It runs very smooth.
Only frustration is the speaker's volume which is low. I am using Speaker Boost, looks like helped little ( but not very sure).

I find that it works for some apps, DSP Manager works for others.

I uploaded RC4's tabletUI patches, and you can get them in my signature link for My 4 Shared.
I tried one of the RC's back in the day for CM10 and didn't like it much. It seemed slow and glitchy, and it kept corrupting my SD card, so I went back to CM7 for a while, and then tried the CM10.1 nightly for 6-17 yesterday and had SD card problems again. Switching to a higher quality SD card fixed that problem, seems 4.x's file access methods make it more finicky with external media than 2.3's. According to LMT's status bar, my NC is running at 1000mhz, and everything has been fairly stable, although there are a few apps that seem to grind it to a halt, most notably the new Opera browser, although I hear that may just be an issue with their new version, using Opera classic seems to run fairly well. As far as getting the true tablet experience, I had to switch the launcher over to Apex, which has a tablet mode that removes the phone-style dock. On another note, I have two Android phones, an older one running CM7, and a new one running ICS out of the box, tried wireless tethering on each and found that my NC could Ad-hoc into the newer one and share it's internet at remarkable speeds, but couldn't maintain a connection to the CM7 phone even if I skipped DHCP and manually set the IP. I tried Bluetooth on this one and found that neither Sixaxis or Wiimotecontroller worked, but the NC did detect the Wiimote I tried, so I know Bluetooth is working. If I can find my BT headset, I'll give it a try and see if I can't make some internet phone calls. At this point, I'm going to be using CM10.1 as a daily driver, I think it's VERY usable, with my only annoyance being that it's a little slow to boot - any custom boot animations I use other than the one that comes with it are choppy and freeze up, and once the OS has loaded, I have to wait 10-20 seconds while the lock screen says (WIDGET LOADING) to even get the lock screen clock, but after that it's smooth sailing.
On the subject of reading books, I installed Moonreader+ and read some books on it yesterday, so that's still working just fine.
Lags & low FPS from recovery to bootup to lockscreen & everything else - is it dying?
Phone lags and have very low FPS (animation jitters/choppy, super slow) even in recovery TWRP so I think this is a hardware issue?
The rom boot up animation jitters, not smooth and run very slow. Sometimes it takes a few tries hitting the power button to wake up the phone. When the phone wakes up, a screen full of red blue yellow dots flashes for a second. Swiping up to load the lockscreen patterns have the same issue (animation jitters, not smooth, very slow). Gesture and keystrokes have the same issue and pretty much everything else including the launcher and all apps, messaging, phone dialer.
The only thing that works are 2 things, the audio and read/write operation when connected to a computer USB. I can transfer data between the computer and the phone. Music and phone audio plays fine. During video playback, the picture jitters but the audio plays fine.
Anyone else have this issue or have an idea what the issue is? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I'm not convince the problem is a software issue since the symptoms also appears in twrp. I'm tempted to take it apart at this point to see if anything like cables are loose.
Any advice, anyone?
I took it apart, it looks clean and nothing loose but I disconnected all the cables and reconnected them anyways, desperate measure and still no luck
Maybe chipset overheats or something?
Thanks for the replies and suggestions so far.
I do not do any CPU intensive activity like gaming, just light apps, texting and browsing. Also, the symptoms is not limited by time so even after the phone is put in airplane mode when I go to sleep and then when I wake up, the issue is still there.
Did you fix it?
I have now a quite similar issue, even i can't unlock screen without reboot the device. But all runs in slow motion except audio. Sometimes it returns to regular perfomance, but for a little while. Any idea?
