Hi there
Now I have tried two torrent clients; tTorrent and aTorrent Beta. EDIT: and now also uTorrent!
With both clients I have tried to download Game of Thrones season 1, but every time I leave it, a couple of minutes later, my Nexus screen is either frozen or turned off.
Then I have to hold the power button for 20-30 sec, and then it reboots.
I have uninstalled both of them again, because it's certainly those programs making the issues. Have someone tried the same thing? EDIT: You think it has something to do with the file I download? Just weird, since it looks legit (many seeders/leechers).
Specs:
Nexus 7 - rooted
Custom ROM: PA 2.56, CM based
franco kernel
Try adownloader. Haven't had a problem yet. Although I'm not using a custom ROM. I'm just unlocked rooted and have trinity's kernel. So may be an issue with the ROM. But just try adownloader see if it works fine. Works(ed) on my dx2 sinc2 and my nexus7 without any problems so if something happens could be ROM or kernel. Also I'm on 4.2.1 and not having any issues.

I haven't had any issues with uTorrent. Used it about a dozen times for small torrents.

+1 for 'adownloader new', I've tried multiple torrent clients, and this one is the best. uTorrent froze my phone (or tablet, I can't remember where I tried it), others are limited to certain speed or number of downloads (free ones, that is).
The only problem I've had with adownloader is, that it sometimes doesn't start downloading if I open torrent directly from chrome (download, and click on it in notifications). Opening torrent from adownloader directly works w/o problems (or from file explorer)
If you suspect the file, download some Ubuntu, those are 100% legit (from official website)
Okay, thanks for for responses. Maybe it's the ROM or kernel then.
I could maybe also be the size of torrent (5,5gb)?
My Nexus 7 usually hangs when trying to download a torrent. I have trying tTorrent.
I am using Jelly Belly Rom v11 with Franco kernel r30

Had the same issue with my Nexus 7, running Trinity kernel and stock ROM. Using atorrent (not beta or pro), since it is on one of my favorite sites white list. Since updating the kernel and switching to CleanRom, I haven't had this happen since. Still using atorrent.
The only other insight I can offer from my findings is that it would happen when the number of connections would exceed roughly 25 connections.
Okay, cool. Thanks for the answers everyone.
It's not crucial I can download from it, would be cool though. Guess I'll wait till I update it some day!

I too experience bad performance on my nexus 7 with torrent clients. The protocol is heavy on cryptography so I wonder if the new entropy mod will hero l help
No problems at all. Stock. Using ttorrent

I use the torrent app. Not seeing bad battery life or performance issue on stock 4.2.1.

It's kinda disappointing to hear that many people have had problems torrenting on the N7 since that was one of the first things I planned to set up. I'll probably give it a go anyway to see what happens, but after reading through this thread I don't have high hopes for the result.
I have noticed mine starts getting laggy and freezing up when download speeds are over 1MB/sec. This is using atorrent.

I guess it's cus I've done so much tweaking and changing on my nexus. It seems that all stock nexus' are just fine. Thanks for all the comments!

You could always pay for HBO. And then just download HBO Go app and watch each episode without any issues.

Not an option, since the HBO app doesn't work on rooted devices. And of course my device is rooted

I just received the notification on my Nexus 7 regarding the system update, however I am at a crossroads if I should do it or not as i am currently setup with Tablet UI (DPI 160), all my apps and icons are nice and tightly displayed using Apex launcher and with all the posts stating that you cannot revert the DPI back down once you upgrade i am not sure what to do. Any advise as to why I should upgrade would be helpful.
Thanks,
JBIRD
i would wait as yoou wont really be able to mount any external storage until this stickmount or the nexus 7 mount app gets updated to work in 4.2
I am going to wait untill all the apps I use get updated where I know they will work.No use in haveing a new update if nothing works that I want to use on it.
It took hbo over a month to get working on jelly bean and some apps still don't work.I will wait and see before screwing them up because some things might take a while.:laugh:
I say wait because:
- we didn't get miracast
- new issues with bluetooth, specifically bluetooth audio with wifi enabled/active. Bluetooth audio already had issues in android, now it's worse.
- multi user is no good. Other users can't access your apps, unless they already own them. Haven't tried this yet, but from what I read.
- camera app lost funny faces. Big mouth, small eyes etc. Yes it's gimicky but I've had friends' kids laugh their asses off while using this. Why remove it?
- I'm getting lag (sometimes) again, similar to the pre 4.1.2 issues. Not all users are getting this but I am.
I was initially excited about 4.2 but disappointed now, considering rolling back.
Also no tablet UI. Its completely ripped out. Back to phablet mode. I'm enjoying it though.
Also Apex crashes immediately. So I'm using the stock launcher and everything.

Apex running fine for me. Dirty flash from CleanRom. I just had to reset it as the default. I seem to recall someone had problems when they restored their launcher settings and that wiping data for Apex fixed the issue.

I vote no. Too many glitches. Flashplayer stopped working. Panoramic mode in camera FCs camera app. I'm considering rolling back as well.
I also vote NO. Dolphin Browser won't start, Firefox crashes, cannot access Internet when tethered to my iPhone etc.
No, give it a week or so

no, definitely NO! USB not working, development access required to stop Android sending every installed app back to Google, several more other apps not working (such as MX player...). No, no way, I will be switching from stock to something other with 4.1.2, because it is unusable this way...
Thanks everyone, appreciate the input. After this i am definitely going to wait

Hey tkelly,
You must be one of the lucky ones. I have been reading that the usb directories have changed due to the new instituted multi user option. Are you able to see the contents of your folder on various accounts you setup?
Thanks,
JBIRD
I just reverted back to 4.1.2 because of the issues in 4.2. I'll wait until things seem to be a bit better before I upgrade again.
Nope. Too much stuff broken with 3rd party apps. And its hot a slight case of the jitters. Project Butter seems to be on holiday.

Can you fill the rest of us in on how to get Stickmount to work?
Well I don't have multi user ATM. But all I did was I rooted with wugfresh toolkit(sorry if I spelt it wrong). And the I just plug it in and it said USB mounted or what it normally says. Yeah I can veiw my files on it. I will try with muli user on and will report later
Edit
Stick mount doesn't support multi user son only the primary user can use stick mount. And the the second user I had set up did not read USB storage. So its still working but only for primary user

Hello guys I am looking for stable version of Flash for my nexus 4 running 4.2. Is there a stable version that will work with out flickering black screen when I use Firefox. Do I have to root my phone to get it
Any help would be great.

Im using this.... got no problems...
Currently watching the West Ham Chelsea game
Hmm. I downloaded and installed that on my first N4 and it worked flawlessly; I had no problems watching videos on cnn.com with Firefox. However, since then I have replaced that N4 with another -- the camera LED was non-functional on the first one -- and also received the update for 4.2.1. Now when I play cnn.com videos, I get sound but no video. I'm not sure what's responsible for that change -- cnn.com, the hardware, or the new version of Android. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm trying to install flash on 4.2.1. I can't get it to install. Maybe Google blocked it with some changes?

Right. CNN is the only site I visit regularly that uses Flash, but I tracked down another site and tried it and it worked. The funny thing is that CNN worked for me last week, and it was a bit too coincidental that it worked on my first N4 but not on my second for me to think it was something that CNN changed on their site. I guess maybe it was, though. Thanks for the reply.
Hi I am having problems with lag on my Nexus 7. Aside from the usual lag which seems to be everywhere even though this is my third unit. You Tube lately seems worse than ever. A few seconds into a video and the audio starts stuttering soon to be followed by video stuttering. I only have this problem with You Tube. I have the most current release of Paranoid Android on it along with the most current Gapps. Would reinstalling Gapps help? Should I reinstall Paranoid? Would there be a better rom to use for the Nexus 7? Or is this problem something other than a rom issue?
Thanks
I've never had issues with PA and M-Kernel.
You could try M-Kernel (think he's on a52 now) which is the one I have installed.
Try that combo and see how you get on !!
This is a known issue with Franco's latest hotplugging drivers, if you are on that kernel.

I have been having trouble with my nexus 7 running PA as well. If I leave my device locked for a while then go to unlock it with the pattern it will freeze. I'm not sure why it is doing this so much. It never used to on the previous builds..

Latest Franco and PA both have some issues atm. Read the threads lol
hey,
i had similar issues to you on my nexus as well. i was using stock 4.2.2. Eventually, i factory resetted the device and also did a delvik cache wipe from the recovery menu and now there is no lag at all (except when the play store is installing apps, then it would stutter). Though, i do get the audio stutter issues once in a while when multitasking or scrolling through a big PDF too quickly.
good luck
Anyone tried flstudio with custom ROM or kernel? Please post your feedback...

I'm using pa3.56 with stock kenel. No complaints, well worth the money. I even stopped using it on the comp. Not as many features as it does tho. The touch interface is really nice to work with and makes it so much easier in my opinion.
As far as the app itself, no slow downs, stutters, hiccups or force closes. Best used with actual headphones not the ear buds or apple. I'm just using a pair of $20 dollar Sony studio headphones with no complaints.

Thanks for that - anyone using with a custom kernel? any ideas if it will work (there is a warning on the app description that root and custom kernels can cause issues...)
I'll flash a kernel tomorrow if no one else gets to it. I used to flash them but kinda got pointless considering I'm not power hungry with my n7 lol. Any particular kernel you want me to try? I already have Franco and bricked.

Try m-kernel, once i finish moving into my new place and get settled with my finances i really want to buy fl studio and play around with it, i remember making some sweet stuff a few years back on PC, I'm excited to see what they have brought to the table with a mobile app.

Well, it wasn't horrible, but not to keep with the kernel. Going back to stock.
I noticed the app did take longer to load, maybe by a few seconds. When I was dragging tracks over to loop longer I noticed it doubled the track a few times. I experienced a few hiccups in time where I couldn't keep the beat playing piano.
Over all, the app is great and can't wait for the update where you can add your own stuff like the guitar. But the developer is right about kernels causing an issue. I can vouch custom ROMs don't at least.

thanks for trying - good to know... i have bought reloop and it is very laggy on my N7 with faux kernel and stock rom, it runs much better on my xperiaT with stock kernel and rom so i guess original kernel perform better in this cases...
Hi there folks .. been using the Nexus 10 for the past few days. All stock settings with minor apps installed. But I noticed a few times on random basis the machine just restarts by itself. All restart happened when I was browsing on Chrome. Latest was just this morning I was reviewing some sites on the comparison of browsers from different source and suddenly just restarted for no apparent reason.
No big deal for me but don't feel nice. Any way to check or find out what's causing it to restart and how to stop it??
Chrome has never played nice with my tablet...I would highly suggest using a different browser
I only have random reboots in Chrome now. I think its memory-related, but not sure
4.3 fixed the memory leak related reboots.

Thanks .. I'm already running 4.3 on my Nexus 10. I just needed to ensure this is really Chrome problem. I could install other browsers to try. Please share if others are also experiencing the same problem.
