OK for all the lucky people who have suceeded in updating their tpts to ICS, would you mind sharing feedback. I'm currently on the CM9 port which is stable enough for my use and I don't want to upgrade to ICS and lose CWM unless it's worth it:
1. Do both front and back cameras work?
2. Does Sound work properly?
3. Is there still the "pen wonk" problem where the pen develops a mind of its own and just stops working?
4. Is the tpt any faster than before (i.e boot times, application launch, etc)
5. Any noticeable lag during usage?
6. On honeycomb, the tpt is unresponsive to touch immediately its woken up from sleep for like a second. Is that problem still on ICS?
Feel free to share any other issues encountered. Thanks
Hey,
1. Both Cams are working
2. Sound is still a bit quiet, but it works
3. after the update i hadn't any problems with the pen
4. In my opinion it is much faster then before and there hasn't been any crash since the update
5. I don't see a lag
6. This problem is still there, but not as much as before.
Thanks @folkommen, I'm sure this info will be much useful for me and others
Can anyone else confirm that the pen doesn't suddenly stop working during usage? Please make sure you're using the pen for a decent amount of time as this issue seems to occur randomly but usually 10-20 minutes of writing.
Did the ICS update fix the GPS (or make it better)?
Focus?

Focus on the rear camera was almost non-existent before ICS. Any better now?

Some have reported it fixed but Lenovo is actively working on the issue now and has an idea onmthe hardware side what may be wrong.
AT 05/25/2012 is the WE Version released, with the same problem as UK: some G3 Providers are missing the connection for internet, Bad supply recharging, busybox problems disabled upgrade.
My Upgrade was succsessfully. No problems, not before and not after the update. G3 works fine. GPS fixed within 10 s 6 Satellits.
Hello all,
It appears my NFC sensor has quit working on my T-Mobile Galaxy S5. To provide some back story in hopes of finding a solution, here's what's going on:
A few days back, everything was running fine. I flashed an unofficial CM12 ROM (Albinoman887's) to my phone, which at the time had broken hotspot and no Netflix support. NFC worked for me at that point, as I used it to 'Tap n Go' when setting up my account to transfer everything to my S5 from my N7.
The next build that was released fixed Netflix for me, but since then I haven't been able to get any functionality out of NFC. According to the ROM developer, NFC works on his device, as it also does for several other T-Mobile S5 owners. I definitely believe that it works for them, but it's super frustrating to me that it won't for me -- even though I rarely use NFC. I'm just irritated at the thought that my sensor may have died and I have no idea why/how. The phone has never been dropped, so it shouldn't be shock damage.
It's also worth noting that I Odin'd back to my stock firmware, just to test NFC, and I couldn't get any NFC functions to work once I started fresh.
I'm not sure what my options are at this point, but I was hoping someone might have some input to help steer me in the right direction.
Quick update: I flashed a CM 11 ROM (Bliss Stalk, to be exact), and my NFC sensors now work like normal. I'm glad to see it's not dead, but I'm completely baffled as to why it doesn't work on CM 12, when the ROM developer is running the same device and it works for him.
Ahh, the perils of Android development. I'm still glad Lollipop is coming along so smoothly, and I apologize to @albinoman887 for being such a pain in his butt!
So i finally gave cm 12.1 a chance because it's been rolling for a while now... and i was actually pretty impressed. The one issue i couldn't deal with is the bluetooth audio playback in my car. Basically it was playing too fast, then pausing every 10-20 seconds and then continuing to play too fast again (also at a slightly higher pitch). I was able to temporarily fix the problem by turning bluetooth off and on but it came back. other than this i didn't see many issues and thought it was pretty good, but for no i'm going to go back to stock until this issue is fixed, i did find that it was already reported to the cyanogenmod team and they are already working on a fix so i'm waiting impatiently until it's fixed and i'll probably be moving from stock kitkat as my main rom to cm 12.1. How has everyone elses experience been with cm 12.1 nightlies so far?
What doesn't work. (if i missed something here post so i can update)
- saving 4k video (1080p works tho)
Battery life ?
- used to be terrible but it's almost as good as stock now but with better performance.
hey
i would like to use CM as i was doing that on my Moto G. the questions I have to users of the newest CM version:
- does quickcircle, google text-to-speech, intelligent screen (LG app) features work?
- what is the quality of videos and pictures taken by the phone running CM opposite to android v20i?
thank you.

1. Quickcircle won't work. To make it work again you have to install a special app. Google text-to-speech works ok for me (I haven't test it too much). LG features/apps won't work
2.For me the quality of pics and videos are the worst I have ever seen!!!! (Much better in the stock LG)
My experience with CM12.1 was average. I was waiting for something better. Camera is awful in the Custom roms. Battery life wasn't the best. In terms of performance the cm12.1 is better than the stock lg.
i've only been running cm 12.1 for a few days now so i don't have alot of substantive input, i did find a fix for the bad bluetooth car audio using a macro/tasker app but i think they have fixed it in the nightly released today, i'm downloading it now it says bluetooth stream parameters in the patch notes so i wont bother sharing my fix until i try this nightly to see if they already fixed it. i'll give a better review of whats working and the camera/video quality after i have a chance to play around with it more.
by the way anything running ART instead of DALVIK cache/runtime is going to perform better but it's at the price of xposed modules and such, i'm not expert on it but i know they switched to ART cache/runtime to be more competitive with the iphone. On Kitkat and lower an android device needs better hardware to output the same performance as an iphone with lesser hardware. ART should fix that problem. If you are curious google ART vs DALVIK
*edit* yeah bluetooth is fixed with the newest nightly update... atleast for my car which is a mazda 3. (yay)
Avrage camera and bugs like video not saving after recording is main culpit to not use CM 12.1. Otherwise it is good as clean android can be.

Videos do save. It is a issue with 4K video ONLY. Switch to 1080p video and videos save just fine.

I found that myselfe, tnx. But I believe that issue is fixed already. Maybe Im wrong, but I did see in changelog or other forum. Maybe someone can test it?
I switched to stock kitkat, I love CM, been running CM since it was 10.1, the problem is that it starts really really fast and after a while CM 12.1 becomes laggy it drives me crazy, other than that is the camera quality which doesn't bothers me as the performance issue,
I guess we'll need to wait for LG to release the G3 source file but who know's when that's gonna happend
good news the latest daily added some balancing between power and battery life. I went from losing a huge chunk of my battery during work when my phone is in my pocket to going 9.5 hours at work and coming home with 94% battery. (that is alot of standby but i use my phone at lunch and have bluetooth running for about 50 minutes of driving). Basically it got alot better, i'm not sure what they did but i did notice that there is a balanced setting in battery screen that i didn't notice before. Anyways I think those who were concerned about battery drain my have had their wishes answered over the last few nightlies.

Knock on works but knock code doesn't, which is quite normal considered it's an LG feature.

Partly working. You can turn screen on by clicking anywhere, and turn it off by knocking at notification bar.
Phone encryption not working?
I've just flashed the 20150603 CM12.1 and I cannot seem to get the phone encrypted. On the reboot to start the encryption, the phone gets stuck in the CM boot animation and the encryption process never starts. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks in advance.
I'm on 06/05 nigthly. When I plug the phone in my computer, it's not being recognized. If I change from MTP to PTP, then it works.
I've tried going to Device Manager, and could see that my phone is being recognized as a Nexus device. I tried installing latest drivers from Google's website, but I got a message saying that I'm already on the latest version. So that didn't do anything. I've tried uninstalling that "nexus" driver and rebooting my PC, but it somehow came back when I plugged my phone in. Trying to update gave me the same message.
If I run "adb devices", I can see that there's no devices (it's enabled in developer settings). If I enable ADB over WiFi and try to connect -- it works, and I can do whatever I want. But only over WiFi and not via USB.
Tried different cable and different port as well.
Recently picked up the 6P (still stock on lastest FW) and have only one issue with it.
When I am steaming audio over bluetooth in my car (usually using Play Music), if I wakeup/unlock the device, the audio stutters/lags for a good 5-10 seconds before going back to normal. Once awake, dragging down the notifications menu can cause a similar effect though less pronounced. If I turn the screen back off, it goes back to normal instantly.
I don't have any other BT devices to test this on, but I've not had this issue with any other androids in my car. I also don't see any "lag" issues anywhere else. Before I unlock and root this thing, any ideas on how to fix it on the stock rom, or is a custom rom not likely to fix this either?
Appreciate it.

It's a problem at the source code. It's says it's been fixed on Developer N preview 3. So when N is released publicly it should be fixed. Or you can join the beta program. I have preview 3 running now and it's pretty solid. I don't use bluetooth audio though, so I can't say if it is indeed fixed. If you do try it be sure to enable OEM unlocking in Android dev settings just to be sure you can save your device should anything happen. Also check the list of supported apps so if any app you rely isn't supported you can decide from there.

Hey! I just found this post. I have had the same issue on my 6P since receiving it in November. I was stock until just a few days ago, now just running 6.0.1 and xposed. The issue fixed itself right after I wiped and rooted, but is now back. This is odd because booting my phone into safe mode didn't fix the issue, so I'm thinking it's not caused by a specific app, although I'm yet to try it.
Since you mentioned you don't use other bluetooth devices, this problem ONLY exists for me in my car audio, a 2015 Chevy Cruze.
If you don't mind me asking, what car are you driving?

I have the exact same problem with my 2015 Chevy Volt nav / stereo system. I never noticed this issue until I updated to the Android N release a few days ago. It always happens when I turn on the screen. I rooted and went back to Android M, but the issue is still there. I'm guessing that's because my phone now has the latest baseband and radios instead of the older ones that did not have this Bluetooth problem. If you guys come up with a fix let me know. I'm thinking of flashing the Android M radios to see if that's the problem since I'm now running a custom Android M based ROM anyway. I tested the phone with my wife's 2016 Mazda CX5 and it has none of this screen on stuttering garbage.
UPDATE: I went ahead rooted, installed Pure Nexus ROM (6.0.1-20160821), installed ElementalX-N6P-1.21 kernel, flashed bootloader-angler-angler-03.54.img and radio-angler-angler-03.61.img from angler-mtc20f-factory-d62de11e.tgz, and after all that the issue is still there! What a complete waste of time. What I'm guessing might be the problem is I switched to Sprint on July 2016. Before that I was on T-Mobile and I never had this screen on stuttering issue. It seems there might be some type of interference here and it's possible it is a hardware design flaw since Google has not been able to fix the issue for quite some time. As of now I've switched to my LG G5 phone which has no Bluetooth issues with my Chevy Volt. If I don't find a fix soon I'll probably sell the Nexus 6P and wait for the newer Nexus devices.
FWIW, I have the same issue with my 2014 Chevy Cruze and my HTC 10. Ran across this thread while hunting down a solution (unsuccessfully, this far).

I figured out that if I uncheck Message Access for my Chevy Volt under my phone's Bluetooth settings, the screen on stuttering is fixed!! Everything works flawlessly with my wife's Mazda CX5 so it must be a Bluetooth compatibility issue. Check it out and see if that resolves your HTC 10 issue with your Chevy. Good luck!
I have found a somewhat reliable fix - PLEASE tell me it works for you all as well.
Hopefully we are all familiar with the problem: A Nexus 6P ( Or whatever is the issue for you) is paired with my 2015 Chevy Cruze that I use to stream audio while commuting. The audio is more or less fine until the screen turns off/I lock the phone. Once I unlock the phone or a notification wakes the screen up, the audio stutters over my car speakers until I turn the screen back off, or 6-8 seconds has passed. This doesn't happen with any other device I own when paired to my car, and my phone doesn't have the same issue when paired with any other bluetooth receiver. I am on a rooted but otherwise stock 6P running 7.0.
I do not use my car for messages, only music/podcasts and phonecalls. I went into the bluetooth settings while driving ( I do not recommend you do this while your car is in motion) and noticed the stuttering was consistent the entire time I had the menu open. This prompted me to assume it must have something to do with the phone making other bluetooth actions while connected to my car, that my car didn't like.
I clicked on the gear for settings next to my car in the bluetooth paired devices list, which pops up the menu that lets you change the name of the device, and what it is used for. My options are: 'Phone Audio', 'Media Audio', 'Contact Sharing', and 'Message Access'. I denied message access to my car the last time it prompted me, but the last two on the list were still checked. I unchecked both of them, reset my phone, and crossed my fingers.
It works. It freaking works. It's not 100% and if I flip the screen on and off over and over again it'll still get a little wonky, but I no longer cringe when I have to unlock my car in the phone.
Will the rest of you give this a shot and let me know if you have similar luck? Best wishes!
Josh

You're totally right. I discovered this on my own right about the same time you did apparently and I wanted to make sure it lasted before I made a post here. You deserve all the credit, I'm just so happy it's fixed. Now, I am curious if it'll still stutter a bit if you turn your screen on and off really quickly a few times?

Seems that GM vehicles are a common denominator too! I have the stuttering with my 6P int my Holden Cruze. Didn't have the issue with my old Nexus 6 and don't have the issue with the 6P when making calls over BT. I haven't listened to as great deal of music from the 6P over BT except in the car so can't really compare there.
It's interesting to read a comment that it was going to be fixed in M preview 3 but even now in Marshmallow release the issue is still there.
Hi, been suffering with a stutter in my Mercedes every 20mins with a 5X on 7.0. Again, seems a common problem with Mercs. I tried EVERYTHING to fix this for months, including full phone wipes and flashes.
I just fixed my issue entirely, not sure if it will work for you guys, but I believe it is an issue with the BT bandwidth that the car is able to cope with. I turned off Phone Book and SMS Message Access services and my issue is gone. I think the phone is maxing the bandwidth with A2DP and as soon as a sync is requested for phone book or message = the problem arises.

Interesting. It certainly does feel like a bandwidth issue. I have a Moto360 and has tried turning that off but hadn't thought of turning phone functions off. I don't really want to do that either but will try it to confirm.
I turned off phonebook and SMS but it made no difference to me at all.
I have noticed a Terrible shutter from my device when paired to a portable BT speaker. at times the only fix is to turn the speaker off then back on. it is horrid.
I would just buy a new tablet but no one else makes a horizontal layout android tablet (charging port and nav/home buttons on landscape side), seems this tab 4 line up were the last ones.
Do I need to switch to custom rom? If yes, which one? I need wifi, bluetooth (media), and GPS working perfectly, that's all.
Thanks for any suggestions.
