Nexus 4 + Apex Launcher gets "slower" after some time? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
My Nexus 4 is very fast and works smoothly but I've noticed that scrolling to other screens gets a bit (not much) laggy after some hours.
When I reboot, everything works just fine again.
I'm not sure if it is in any way related to the Apex Launcher but I'm just adding that detail in case someone also has the same problem there.
I have not many apps installed yet and I really wonder what exactly is causing the problem.
Does anyone have a clue what the issue is or on which points I could focus on? I first thought the background image is too large (2,5mb) but when I replaced it with a 45kb image, nothing changed.

I use Nova and don't have this issue.

[Q] Stutter on home screen since 2.2

Since the 2.2 OTA update I've noticed a stutter when switching between screens on the home screen. The strange thing is I didn't notice it until after I did a hard reset. Initially it wasn't there until I reinstalled a couple of apps, so I'm assuming it was one of those. I believe it started after installing Dazzle. At any rate, has anyone else noticed the stutter in general?
I installed Launcher Pro Plus and quickly bought it when I realized how much smoother it is...so that solved my problem. I'm just wondering since I haven't seen anything about it.

I didnt install anything afterwards and mine does that... went to local Corporate VWZ store and he said his did this in beginning and now has stopped... but he was holding a milestone when telling me this as well.

static lines/ glitching

Anyone else had any graphic glitching?
i was using inparisv4 i have been getting the odd little graphical glitch,
At first its just a small; a flash here and there, but recently the entire screen has be glitching for about 30 seconds at a time (Full on like a no signal telly)
Searched in the forum, and a few people had the prob when flashing the touchwiz interface. they solved it by flashing to samsung ota and then back again.
I tried that i thought it was fixed but a noticed small glitches just once.
Anybody know whats causing it?
I am really freaked
Screen Glitching
I had a new "re-furbed" tab that within the first 30min of use exhibited this. Then the screen went dark and it never booted again. I believe that this is hardware related, and from what I could tell from my research, it happens on stock as well as rooted tabs. I sent mine back to get another "new" one, and hope that I do not have this problem again as the tab is exactly what I was looking for.

Strange homescreen behavior [ICS]

Hi all,
I have noticed some strange graphics on the top part of my homescreen when on portrait mode. It seems random and a restart is required to fix it.
I have uploaded some screenshots to my dropbox: http://db.tt/X9HSzTw9
There is no flickering it's just static and I never encountered this issue on HC. Anybody else noticed this behavior? I wonder if it is ICS or hardware related.
Thanks for all your help
Try another launcher and see if it goes away. I remember having something similar (although not as severe) on the stock launcher.
My favorite is Nova Launcher, which is basically the same as stock but with more options, and a hell a lot faster
Also, enabling "Force 2D GPU Rendering" in the settings/development can, sometimes, cause those kinds of artifacts. So if you got that turned on, try turning it off.
Im finding it hard to believe its a HW issue and lean more towards "ICS Issue"... ICS isnt exactly what I'd call bugfree
I experienced the same thing with Youtube App (Even the reboot won't help)
ICS is a big failure so far
I had the same issue at first, factory reset got it stable. Try not to restore apps, I see this advice all over the forums in this case, just reinstall them from the market again.
Good luck

Device occasionally stutters/unresponsive. Defective?

Ever since I first powered up the device and went through initial setup, I noticed there were moments where the device would stutter/hiccup and not respond for a split second. I did a factory reset and it still happens.
Anybody else having issues?

Not with the S7 itself, but I am getting a ton of scrolling lag on the chrome browser. Luckily the only thing that is lagging for me. Everything else is super fluid.
I AM using Nova launcher though. I hated stock S7 touchwiz launcher.
The only lag I've had is in package disabler pro scrolling through the list. No other apps are having issues for me. Might be worth returning/swapping out.

Yes, it's happening a lot in Chrome. Tinder too. It also happens every 5-10 seconds or so when using the Gear VR.
I too am using Nova.
Mine doesn't stutter or lag. If I were you I would swap it out.
Swapped my S7 and it's still choppy, but it seems to be dependent on the app and not the device. Not defective.
Same here, I got me first S7 edge on the 4th of March, then swap it out due to defective screen (white spot on lcd) few days ago and now can't play video from websites, videos will sound like in fast forward mode, specially Facebook

Display problem

Hello there.
I'm proud new user of Nexus 6p but I already have a problem. I updated it to 7.1.1 and rooted the device. Now chrome constantly crashes (Aw snap problem) and also facebook sometimes show strange image.
Screenshots attached.
Anybody else have this problem?
i love my 6p and am also a proud owner of this beast.
but i also have troubles with my display, it is abit similar to yours, i have occasional graphical glitches and it always freaks the hell outta me.
i hate those glitches , i had a split screen bug on my Moto Nexus 6 as well and using a specific custom kernel called Lean kernel always solved that problem for me.
but currently nothing fixes this on my nexus 6p , except the 6p of mine thankfully does not have that split screen bug but instead it has some other occasional hiccups with graphic glitches.
and i think it is because of the cold temperatures, but i am not so sure.
Cold temperatures can't be a problem with mine couse i work inside so there is no cold
I tried with elementalX kernel and the problem is still here.
chrome gives me the most graphical glitches , but it does not happen often.
it can still get annoying , and i also have a keyboard issue with chrome (been months now) the keyboard issue is, i cant delete characters i have enetered in the search fields of whatever website i am at.
like when i press backspace to wanting to delete words it just wont do it, annoying bug with chrome i am sure of it, as i have tried other browsers and they dont do that with the keyboard backspace not deleting characters.
maybe we should both switch browsers, but the thing is i always go back to chrome :l
hope your issue gets solved too, maybe try a custom based nougat rom and you wont see that issue with chrome anymore (as for the fb app, it is a battery killer i would advice to just use the chrome app to open up your fb account).
Tried with firefox but the problem is still there.
Will try and get myself different rom for weekend and test it.
So you say that facebook is battery killer. Thanks for the info.
Update:
Installed Pure nexus rom - problem still there
Installed CM 14.1 - problem still there
I have no idea what is cousing this problem. Is it possible that the problem is hardware related and not software?

Navigate to Settings/Developer Options/Webview Implementation then switch to "Chrome." See if you still notice these issues.

Nope I think your display driver is glitching
I'm taking it back to the store today and they will replace it with the new one they said. Hope i'll have more luck this time
