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.
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.

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!

IT HAS BEEN FIXED!
I haven't gotten the update, but it should be here soon....
Is anyone else having problems with swiping left and right etc since 4.1.2?
My device recognises the swipe but doesn't complete ie when ctolling through home screens the page won't move to the next page it will stay where it is and you just see the page move a little bit and then go back.
Hope that makes sense.
Please reply if you're having this problem or not

I've noticed this as well since 4.1.2 but it only happens for the first few seconds after switching the screen on. I've had to apply a bit more force in swiping to bring down the Notifications or to go from screen to screen on Home and the app drawer. Gently flicking the screen doesn't work and stuff like Notifications just flips back up, but after 20-30? seconds it works fine again.
I've noticed this aswell, but don't think the new update is the cause as I was experiencing it before.
Just out of curiosity do you use another device such as HOX? Because I have a HOX, and the swiping is much smoother on that, flicking goes from screen to screen rather than a drag which the Nexus required, if you do use another device perhaps its just the change in device like my case ?
Hmmm.
Cant decide whether or not to take it back and try a replacement.
As said above i have to now use a full swipe across the screen with my finger while holding the tablet in the other hand. I cant just use one hand and flick it with my thumb like i used to be able to.
Ive done a factory reset but that hasnt helped at all.
Ill upload a video of the problem soon so you guys can compare it to yours.
OK heres a video of the problem...
Let me know if you guys have the same

I've noticed that my home screen is not as responsive, though I can't tell in your video if it's as severe. I have to make a strong swipe to move to the next page or it will just bounce back to the current page I'm on. So sometimes it takes me a couple times to switch screens since I'm used to it normally changing. Hope that makes sense.
I run CNA 3.8.0 which uses 4.1.2; I haven't noticed that problem previously on 4.1.1
I also have to swipe the notification bar further in order for it to stick. I used to only have to go 1/3 to less than 1/2 of the screen for it to work.

Same issue, would agree that it is worse for the first 20-30 seconds after waking up the screen. Really is quite a pain.
This definitely happens for me, and it definitely started with the 4.1.2 update. It's not a big deal to me, but I can't believe Google didn't catch it.

Only place I notice this is home page and app drawer. New with 4.1.2, and quite irritating. I blame the Apple rubber band patent!

I've got a new c9O 32GB and mine does the same thing. Its better if I use one hand to hold it from the edges while using the other hand to touch. Using one hand to hold and swipe/scroll/ anything is an effort in futility. And its not just at the Home screen/App menu for me. It also locks up completely from time to time. Do we know what kind of memory the 32GB model uses? Not happy about this at all. Asus really screwed up on this one.

I have this issue as well. My first nexus which was a 16gb didnt have this problem but my current one which is a 32gb does this, especially with the notification bar which is quite annoying. Not sure if its because of 4.1.2 or if its the hardware itself because it updated immediately when i got it so didnt have a chance to use the 32gb before it updated.
has anybody tried the 4.2 update to see if it has fixed this?
Bump . I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail from Asus.

I think the problem is gone in 4.2.
At least I have not seen it yet - swipe across half the screen works again to change page.
I still get it in 4.2 :crying:
Made the jump from the Nexus S to Nexus 4 - great upgrade for me. The phone is beautiful, from its screen to design, and to performance. Got 4.3 on it right away and factory reset the phone.
So, I had a couple of questions..
1. In the recent apps drawer, shouldn't there be a 'clear all' button or icon? I have to manually swipe each one out.
2. Is there a way to change the toggle settings in the notification drawer? Also what about the lock screen shortcuts? (on stock)
3. Is daydreaming bad for the screen (if it stays on for 8 hours a night)?
4. Very very minor, but I believe I noticed 1 super tiny dead pixel. I'm quite sure it is. But it's not noticeable, but I know it's there. Should I leave it alone or send it back, or whatever?

1. No there is no such button, but you can flash the JSS15J build in android section it has that button.
2.no way to change the toggle settings, for that you can use power toggles it has everything.
3.yes it for battery life.
4. depends on you. If you are fine with it move on. All the best.
(1 & 2) I think you're too used to aosp and cm builds, stock has minimal customization.

but just a question, why purchase a pure google and not root and flash roms?
mine stays official for about 20 mins after first boot, as someone says, too accomplished with coocked one to stay on stock
Haha. Not just yet. I want to experience stock first. It's going smooth and the 4.3 update seems to do quite a bit of what the 'Franco' kernel did. It has good battery life from what I've experienced only so far (got 2.5 hours of screen time from 40% to 1%, so should get 4 hrs - but only wifi).
Perhaps down the road.

so let's get to the bottom of the nexus battery life issue. How long is your nexus 4 battery life after 4.3 updated get or last , whether it set to default setting of the device itself or with a minimum setting such a display brightness level, silent profile, etc ?
and do you know how long you need to get your phone fully charged from empty using original n4 charger ? any trick or possible way to charge the phone itself faster ?
I'm just wondering and should I get nexus 4 or moto x ? but F***, I hate when that beautiful phone has been locked by carrier and has a bloatware since I'm a heavy multitask user and most of the time spend his time with browser and apps and whatsapp messenger .
sorry for my bad word but really hoping your honest review for the n4 battery life after 4.3 .
did you get 8 hours if you keep playing with it and also keep turn on and turn off your phone every 10-15 minutes while you're walking or hang out with your friends ?

Some custom kernels like for instance Franco Kernel support fast charging if you are rooted. If i we`re you and you can i would wait for the Nexus 5 that will come out in a few months. The N4 is very cheap atm and batterylife isn`t bad at all. Also depends on user usage and installed apps/widgets and syncing.

The Nexus 4 is a great phone, you will not regret buying it. Sold my Galaxy S4 because of the lags and stuttering software. Also the N4 will get KLP Android 5.0 soon also after the release of the Nexus 5.

whatttt ? you sold your s4 ? how come? I mean and I thought it's great phone, and the time when you feel lagging is the phone is rooted or factory default ?
thank you for your honest opinion cause I know nexus 4 is not great like high end phone such as like htc one but the reason is I wanna get n4 because it has no bloatware and it's the pure android and I'm so happy the carrier didn't put any their apps into that phone.
anyway, nexus 5 will be using LG again? my friend told me will be similar like LG G2
You might start laughing but I just ordered a Nexus 4 to get a feel. If I like it, it might replace my HTC One and when the 5 comes out, it might replace my Note 2.
I'm a plain vanilla user (plain Android no rooting or nothing) and slowly am getting sick of the Wifi, lag and other problems all other phones have.
I got this idea since I switched to the Nexus 10 and noticed that there's maybe less bells and whistles but the thing works very well.

you replace your htc one with nexus 4 ? how come ? is your htc one is google play edition ?
If you think about it the Nexus 4 has the same CPU settings as the S4 and HTC One the only category that it loses in is screen resolution.
Of course the other two phones have more better technology but when it comes to software wise the Nexus 4 will be right up there with them

I seriously think about it. It's not a Google Edition and I'm fed up with all the little things that just don't work. I have the impression that all these overlays (touchwiz and whatever they're called) only cause malfunctioning. My HTC is my business phone so changing it for the Nexus, I'll quickly know what pure android is worth.

talking about pure android that coming from nexus , do we have to clean cache or apps cache from the setting itself every once a week ? such a browser cache , and any other apps cache that we can found from settings-apps-(click random apps icon)- clean cache , ?
I'm confuse and I'm sorry to bring this up such an iPhone we don't have to worry about this cache thing or cache that coming from apps and there's no feature in iPhone like clean cache apps that we need to worry about . (and once again sorry comparing this with apple stuff )
so back to the problem since I'm only talking about google product should we be worry about apps cache ? maybe that's also the reason why the phone can be lagging because too many cache from the apps itself that we didn't notice or care enough to clean it up every once a week ? or by the system default is there any feature that the system will clean the cache that coming from 3rd party apps, background apps (all apps that running in the background). Cause I got paranoid and confuse what should I do , that's why I also install advanced task killer and always set them to high priority and every 30 minutes kill all apps to make sure this phone will always have a room for RAM.
but please correct me if I'm wrong , thank you
Using PA 3.99 and faux enhanced stock kernel I still have ~80% battery left after over 8 hours of use (using the phone every 10-15 mins or so). I always use automatic brightness set to medium. Not too sure what "battery life issue" you are trying to get to the bottom of.
As for the task killers/ cache cleaners, there's really no point. All you are really doing is making your phone work harder to do nothing at all. You should be thinking of unused RAM as wasted RAM. If your phone needs more RAM to run something it will free some up as needed. The task killers are really just using more RAM and battery.

Using PA 3.99 and faux enhanced stock kernel I still have ~80% battery left after over 8 hours of use (using the phone every 10-15 mins or so). I always use automatic brightness set to medium. Not too sure what "battery life issue" you are trying to get to the bottom of.

sorry, but what do you mean by PA 3.99 ? and faux ? is it hard to change the kernel for a beginner or a person didn't know how to rooted or modified any kernel ? and also modified kernel or changing the kernel, is that gonna affected to the device to become unstable ? and I believe changing the kernel is coming from unofficial google, am I right ?
