Uninstall adblockplus, what a ramhog, night and day difference, I was actually considering getting n7 2013 because it was so slow, after uninstalling adblock plus everything is great, you also may want to use greenify and hibernate Google plus. My device is now usable

Does the tablet lag when downloading and installing apps from Play Store? Review benchmarks on I/O performance didn't look too good and was wandering if this would be felt in real-life usage.
that has been my experience with all android devices but who cares how the thing benchmarks while you are downloading and installing apps. Thats only a temporary thing at best.
Somewhat? All Android devices do this when installing apps. Do you only use your tablet when apps are downloading or something?

Benchmarks may be cool or whatever, but they still don't matter. If I can push myself to a 4000 on my galaxy nexus in quadrant and risk instability, I'd still rather have a functioning device.

Reason I asked was that on the Transformer Prime, it will almost always cause ANR messages during such I/O operations. I suppose this is less severe if not absent on the Nexus 7?
Yes, I often have more than one app update queued up as I don't use my tablet everyday

This device is blazing fast most of the time, but it will inexplicably lock up, completely, for a few minutes at a time for seemingly no reason. Right now it's frozen on a youtube video and I can't turn it off or use the screen. The device is also unusable really when installing apps, and will lag heavily in Google Now sometimes.
Is this just me? Or 4.2.1?
Just you. My N7 is still operating at warp speed and doesn't lock up..

Are you stock? If so I heard people saying turning off the sync for currents will help, for Google now lag I feel its performs better if you turn off the hot word in setting. But with that you can't say Google and start voice search
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I'm stock 4.2.1 and don't have those issues. I do have currents (and various other apps) disabled, so like previous response said try that. Otherwise maybe go with a factory reset.
When my gnex updated to 4.2 it's performance suffered until I factory reset, now it's been much better.

My best guess would be you have installed an app that is not compatible with 4.2.
How about posting a list of what you have installed, if you use multi-user, and if you are stock (not rooted), and we can give comments.
I agree. I'm running PA and rock solid. I was also rock solid on stock.
I've never had it lock up. I flashed a Trinity kernel once that caused sleep of death... but it was a known issue.

I have currents disabled. Which others do you have disabled?

I have a pretty decent amount of apps installed. I'll post them in a minute, but no, I'm not multi-user, and I'm stock. I'll root and put a new rom on this thing if it's worth it, I figured it'd be fine the way it came.
btw, here are my androbench results. Are these slow?

These are what I disable.

thanks, I'll try disabling those.
Over 100 apps in total, my andronbench write speed is clearly an error so just compare read and app open macros.
My apps open much faster than yours, which I'd put down to PA ROM and kernel. Maybe your write speed is a bit slow?
Can you download "forever gone" from market and try a full fill and delete? Apparently helps reset the memory controller to improve performance.

I did forever gone earlier today.

I just want to know if I should restore, root and flash a new rom on this thing. Can someone check out my androbench scores and tell me if they're normal?

Curious, does GTalk consume a lot of RAM and does it have a great deal on battery? I want to leave it on so my daughter can IM me with her tablet when she's at her mom's. And great that it has video.. Haven't used gtalk in a long time. Thank you. I don't see it running in the battery history though... :/

I've used it on android for years and never felt like it had an adverse effect on battery life. Go for it.

What about ram? I know we have a lot on this phone but still want to know.. It runs in the background right?
Sent from my Nexus 4
Na, it doesn't take up much RAM. And yea, it does run in the background but it goes into Push mode after a while
No

Gtalk is very good on battery. Until you do a video call.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Ok, thanks guys.
Personally, I freeze Google Talk using titanium backup (you can disable it natively in apps on settings menu) because I don't use it. But since you have a usage for it, I don't think it uses a lot of ram. You have more than enough RAM so i wouldn't worry about it.
One thing definitely to do is to disable Google Latitude if you haven't already (it's in Maps and is on by default to report your location automatically). If they helped, press the thanks button
I dont use several Google services, and I freeze them without any problems.. Since sometimes they drain battery

Been noticing some high usage from instagram sometimes after using it. Seems Google knows about it. 4.4.3 coming? It states nexus 5 but says also on other devices.

greenify!
hey.
it's not instagram for me, but I think it's snapchat / camera (or camera permission in general)
When I look at App Ops X (an app for controlling permissions), I see that the camera app/snapchat app are running the camera always. In this app, it'll usually give a time at which a permission was accessed (e.g. 50 minutes ago) or it'll say "Running" to indicate it's using it currently.
For me, it's always been at "Running" status (the camera permission for snapchat/camera) even though I greenified snapchat.
I hope that this issue is related to the issue nexus 5 users are experiencing and that the 4.4.3 fix will apply to this as well..
Well judging by the article its the same issue. I don't use snap chat so I wouldnt know. But yeah definitely a pain.

Ever since around January, I had a battery issue where the battery capacity of my nexus 4 just dropped. I hope that this camera issue was the cause of that.
However, 4.4.2 was released on Dec 9 and I must have updated around then as well.. So there is an unexplained period gap from Dec 10 - Jan 2 of why my battery was functioning normally then..

I have it greenified since a few days ago and although it does work to some extent it doesn't work all the time. I saw it stayed on for 1hr even with greenify

Its linked to apps that use the camera not the camera itself

Happened to me as well. Finally found the culprit (Instagram). Uninstalled. No more battery drain, camera daemon bug and can't connect to camera errors.

If you have root access, I'd suggest Dow loading Greenify from the Play Store. It hibernates the apps so that it doesn't use as much battery life.

You should try SD Maid app from Play Store and freeze Instagram unless you use it, and don't have to uninstall it. Or just simply kill the process from SD Maid.
Hi
I have nexus 5 and nexus 6p. I have an issue with nexus 6p. It's closing some of the apps automatically after sometime. Like in necuse 5 I can have more then a dozen apps running and switch between them. In nexus 6p after some time all except recent few are closed. I hate it how to make nexus 6p to not close until I close them.
Even Lenovo k6 note also doesn't closes apps itself after sometime.
Regards

Was not an issue with nexus 5 with similar apps.
The apps are photo gallery whatsap Facebook and YouTube mostly. The remaining apps count is always consistent it will kill all except recent 4 or 5.
I have two nexus 6p and both suffer same problem.
Is there any setting to kill all apps atha just leave recent 4 or 5?
