Fine it is all sexy and all...But what about some serious improvements?
I don't mean adding features...I am talking about improvements..app drawer lag and stutter, scrolling through home pages stutter, lag sometimes while scrolling on the web page...and other minute issues that needed some ironing...
Any announcements on that??
Which phone do you use currently? I have a Desire HD and these issues are present because I'm not running JellyBean. Galaxy Nexus users said that JellyBean killed off all of these issues.
I'm having RAZr...Motorola sucks when it comes to updates..one of the biggest reasons I'm selling this phone off..
ICS..I turned JB, CM10...but lots many things aren't working....so came back to ICS...
Sent from my RaZr HD.
Typically when there are issues with "smoothness" performance in ICS/JB it's usually because hw composition isn't enabled on that phone, which is usually caused by the fact that the people who made CM for that particular phone can't get it to work on ICS/JB and without proper documentation can't hack in their own replacement for it.
Really not an issue under normal circumstances.
Hi, I am currently using stock rom, rooted, stock kernel, on 4.3.
Last night I tried downloading google map on ipad, because I thought, this cant be it, the latest nexus device directly from google, and google map lags on it? Its gotta be the app i am sure!......
Well **** me, i was wrong.
It is very smooth on the ipad, comparing to nexus 4, I dont have a iphone so I cant compare.
But judging from N4 and my friends nexus 10, I cant believe google would make their own app smoother on ios than their own android system......
Its not like my hardware is outdated, nexus 4 and nexus 10 are both latest table and phone from google (well i guess if you count the new N7 then N10 isnt the latest.....)
Anyone else find this strange? Google Map is in fact skipping less frame on ios than android? WTF IS THIS!?!
Unfortunately we get updates faster than them so their issues are nothing compared to ours.

I have the same two devices as you and have not had any issues with Maps... I don't use it a lot on the 10, but for my N4, it's my GPS. I will look t it on my wife's iPad tonight and see if I see a difference.

Are you over clocking your gpu/cpu etc? I am not saying N4 lags hardcore, it is just some minor frame skip but I am quite anal about it.
At least to my eyes, the frame skip is quite constant and obvious on N4, where ipad is generally smoother and not nearly as visible.
I am not saying ios has a perfect 60 fps in google map, there are still frame skip but at least it is not quite visible if you scroll slowly....
On N4 and 2012 N7, the lag is very obvious, I honestly have no idea why.....ever since their update, they totally ****ed google map up, it was amazingly smooth upfore they updated the ui.....
God damn it google

Stock except root. Smooth as butter on mine, scrolling, pinch to zoom. Are you talking lag in the app itself or in its ability to render data? If you scroll really fast it can take a second for the map to render the new data as its not stored locally but on a server.

Hi ,
How is the overall performance of nexus 7 2012 after the kitkat update , kindly provide the pros and cons after the update.this could help me decide whether i should go for 2012 model or 2013 model.
If you are trying to decide between new and old, obviously go for the 2013, CPU is faster as well as more RAM. ART is also available on the new one.
As for issues, I don't have any with my 2012 so far on KRT16S. Adobe Flash no longer works because of chromium engine so if thats a big thing for you, may want to stay with 4.3

Well the old one is cheaper though.. By quite a bit actually.
So does that mean flash won't even work with other browsers?

Unless you don't have enough cash for 2013, go for 2012, it's still a great device and I never leave home without it, but 2013 is not really all that expensive, so the choice is clear.
Pros:
- it is smooth (but I factory reset it to install kitkat, so I don't know how it would've been if I just updated from previous version), but it was like this for every version
- transparent task and nav bars (with GEL or nova launcher, only on launcher though)
- clock font is the same again (in 4.2 the hours were bold while minutes were normal - I liked it this way more though)
- there's a new icon if you pull down notification bar on the right side
- battery life is good, but it's always been good
Cons:
- OTA rootkeeper doesn't work anymore, you have to manually re-root it every time
- 4.4 is pretty much the same as ICS except with slightly different icons and colors.
- lots of services still don't work outside US and couple of extra countries (play magazines, play movies...)
I don't know, it's android, it does everything, but starts to lag after a while and batteries die and such, I like my Nexus 7 2012 very much, if it broke (knock knock on the table, don't break!) I'd get a 2013 one, not 2012.

Obviously ours is cheaper but if it was me I'd rather spend the extra and have the newer hardware.. not to mention 2012 is creeping up on that 18 month EOL Galaxy Nexus just dealt with, the newer one will still be getting updates.
As for Flash its dead except for Puffin which apparently runs slow ppl talking about it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531015
Depends what funds you have available. I don't leave home without it and wouldn't swap it. Been working on KitKat for a while and no major issues and a lot less "lag" on 4.4 than on 4.3 :good:
Nope, OTA suvival works!
I was running a custom rom for 4.3 and 4.2.2 that was heavily optimized for this device by experienced developers on this forum. And the roms were SO MUCH smoother and faster than stock rom google provided. Now that 4.4 is available, I'm just trying out the stock rom by google, and man..I don't like the performance. There are quite often stuttering moments, and I am eagerly waiting for a stable custom rom based on 4.4. I'm pretty sure 2013 version, you don't really need to have a custom rom to make it super smooth, because I have the nexus 4, very similar hardware as 2013 nexus 7, and my nexus 4 runs very smoothly with google's official 4.4 firmware.
Hope it helps.
Well... it was with a heavy heart, that this afternoon, I took the decision to downgrade my Nexus 7 from KitKat 4.4 back to Jellybean 4.3.
Too many issues that I feel are wrong with KitKat... the lack of visual clarity on the WiFi icon, and particularly with the battery icon when the device is recharging.
But the real deal breaker for me is that KitKat 'breaks' the AOSP browser.
Although there is an AOSP KitKat compliant browser available that will run on the first generation Nexus 7, it's tied to Chromium WebView (instead of WebKit), and functionally, it's essentially identical to Chrome. And like Chrome, it lacks the speed of AOSP... further, it also lacks the one single critical feature that I believe any web browser needs to have in order to provide a satisfying browsing experience on any mobile device - and that feature is text-flow. What is the point in having pinch'n'zoom capabilty on any device, if the text doesn't reflow and reformat itself? So much effort using Chrome, panning right, left and then right again... just to read something!
Of course, it could be argued, that there are many third party web browsers on Google PlayStore that provide this functionality... and some do indeed make a pretty good stab at it. Opera Classic for example... Maxthon is another... but all too often, these browsers lack the lightening fast speed of the AOSP browser... maybe because they are encumbered with lots of useless (to me, anyway) features.
For reasons which utterly escape me, Google have been 'pushing' Chrome for Android as though it was the last word in Android browsers - IMHO, it simply isn't. There are far better browsers available on Playstore... but not a single one comes even close to the experience afforded by the AOSP browser.
All of which would be tolerable, if KitKat didn't force AOSP based browsers down the Chromium WebView path... so for me, Android 4.4 KitKat has essentially ruined my browsing experience - and for this reason, I spent the afternoon fastboot flashing my Nexus 7 back to Jellybean 4.3, and then restoring my apps via Titanium... a real time consuming nuisance, but if I wished to continue to use my Nexus 7, predominantly for web browsing, it had to be done.
I'm now back on build JWR66Y, reinstalled the AOSP browser, and everything just works... the way it should... and the way it used to... before KitKat.
Rgrds,
Ged.
The Kit Kat update was so buggy that it drove me away. I went out and bought a dell venue 8 pro today. The tablet was only 279 and has full blown windows 8.1 AND I don't have to hack it in order use flash sites.
Ota was very smooth ,and so far on my n7 2012 its running fab , no delay , only a few odd games don't work ,but its very nice so far

Upgraded from android 4.3 stock ROM with custom
Kernel,M-kernel, to android 4.4 stock ROM(KRT16s)
to find out exciting new features on KitKat.
The performance of stock KitKat is good for
a stock ROM but not great. The optimized 4.3 ROM
with M-kernel is faster and smooth without over clocking the CPU. The battery life last longer .
KitKat ROM has many new features that worth the
upgrade from android 4.3.

Oof. I was afraid of this (I use Naked Browser Pro). Thanks for confirming the worst. Had similar feelings about Chromium-based Opera (nowhere near as fast as old WebView).
An awful lot of browsers rely on WebView, which makes me think this was a clear move to make all of them suck as badly as Chrome. Not that Google was under any obligation to help their competition, but it's still a crap move.
I do wonder if anyone will take the effort to fill the now difficult speedy browser niche on KitKat. You'd have to either:
1.) Port old WebView
2.) Fork, fix, and optimize Chromium (if that's even possible), or
3.) Use an entirely different engine (possibly your own).
None of these options are great, dev-wise ... and unless we're talking about Naked Browser, any new option is almost guaranteed to come with privacy issues (ads, trackers, etc.)
Given that WebView is part of the ROM, I wonder if OmniROM would be interested in eventually fixing this.

Kit Kat performance is exactly the same as 4.3, no better or worse. It's OK but gets laggy at times. By no means would I consider the 2012 model quick at this point and you should definitely get the 2013 model.
Overall I consider the first gen nexus 7 a big disappointment in performances especially considering the initial launch video Matias Duarte is calling it "a lag free device". Yeah it is...out of the box, and after full storage and system wipe. Over time it gets so annoyingly laggy you wanna chuck it against a wall! The more storage you use the worse it gets and don't even think about adding a second profile. That's an immediate lag bomb!
Also build quality is very suspect, the screen lift/creaking issue seems to be a matter of when not if. I thought I had dodged a bullet with mine until 3 days after my warranty expired. The left side creaks like crazy, and I cracked the back cover removing it to perform several of the home !made remedies. All worked for a day or 2 then the creaking would come back! I eventually gave up and stopped caring.
I don't really feel too ripped off from buying it. Nearly a year and a half of use and 3 major system updates as well as countless minor system updates feel like I got my moneys worth. But tegra 3 isn't getting any younger and getting more and more dated by the day. Also Google proved with the gnex they are pretty cut throat with their 18 months of support policy so KitKat is most likely the end of the road for the 2012 model. Do yourself a favor and get the new one! You won't regret it

You have to be insane to get the 2012 model. Mine is showing definite age and I have barely had it a year. I think there are read write problems with the 2012 hardware that makes it laggy over time.
Get 2013 model but know that it will probably be beat up and slow a year from now. I'd say the life cycle is about a year.

Hey guys!! I update to 4.4 me too, but Does your battery drain faster than 4.3 or it s only mine ? Before the battery was easily 8 or 9 hours daily.. With a basically use, now with exactly the same.. not going more Than 6 hours ..

The battery has not been too bad for me. There may have been a slight decrease, but I find this is common with some updates. Are you on the latest KitKat build or the first one?

The Latest.. It is possible that the reason is the root? I dit it 3days ago after the update(ROM) and I forgot to install the recovery tool .. So This morning I re-root the nexus with rectool and now for 1hour use, I lost only 5% so I don't really understand what's going on ..

I searched the 2013 Nexus 7 threads to see if anyone started a thread with their feedback on Lollipop on a stock device like previous updates and did not find any. I received the OTA notification for Lollipop but it went away after 8 hours. I have my stock 7 setup exactly I want it. I have setup certain ways like streaming movies from my computer to my multiple emails and much more custom configurations but with a bone stock 7, not even rooted which is why I was hesitant to do the update.
I'd like to hear your feedback on Lollipop. Is it faster/smoother? Does all your apps work. Do you like it better than Kitkat? etc.
Thanks in advance.
I had the same thing - the notification for the OTA popped up late at night on the 17th and I didn't have time to deal with it. In the morning, I tried to start the download but nothing happened and the notification disappeared and wouldn't come back.
Anyway in my impatience I flashed the LXR21P factory image and, after a few hours playing with it, I wish I hadn't. Kitkat was way smoother, animations, scrolling, gaming performance, everything basically. Lollipop really feels like a huge step backwards to me.
As for my apps, mostly everything survived the restore from Titanium Backup with one exception - Weather Now by Hamsterbeat seems to keep thinking its not licensed. Games were a different story unfortunately - out of the 10 or so games I had installed, five of them no longer work (Conduit HD, Deus Ex: The Fall, Call of Duty Strike Team, Modern Combat 4 and N.O.V.A. 3). The ones that do work don't run nearly as well as they used to, even Modern Combat 3 which used to run glassy smooth is now lagging. Modern Combat 5 lags so bad in the campaign when you scope in its pretty much unplayable.
There are a few things I don't much like about Lollipop but I'll get used to them. The performance right now is godawful though and I'm probably going to restore a Kitkat backup in a week or so.
Much Thanks on your detailed experience the Lollipop. So far it sound this discouraging.

I didn't notice it earlier but there's actually a sticky thread up top, don't know if you've read it. Lots of people complaining about poor gaming performance.
not all apps work and some don't work as expected. I like the new interface, but for now I stick with KitKat as App World is not yet ready for Lollipop ( I play tons of 3D games and not all of them work and those that work, they are slow as hell).
App developers have to update their apps to run properly on 5.0. They should have already, but many have not. More are being updated every day. The system is smooth as silk. Major step forward for android in becoming a fully mature operating system. Many new features the more you look.
I like it. Think it's quick and more responsive. But as already mentioned not all apps work with it yet. Titanium backup has had an update so works very well for me.
The battery life improved alot for me
I like it. Did a clean install with NRT. Unloaded all the junk in the previous system. My Nexus 7 is running fine. I does everything I want without problems. I am enjoying Material Design. I would like to see more apps adapting MD. Now I only wish Samsung and Verizon get off their asses and get Lollipop to my S4.
So far I like Lollipop although i'm really missing xposed and certain modules that i used on 4.4.4. I haven't tried any graphically intense games yet but it seems to be running really smooth with no lag. Not sure whether it's my imagination but performance wise it feels smoother and faster than 4.4.4 but unsure whether battery life is as good. Also miss mx player but hopefully that will be updated soon.

I updated to L and now Dungeon Keeper runs like crap. I also have a Nexus 9 with L and it doesn't have a problem. Weird...
Something's definitely weird here. For me, Lollipop is kinda sluggish compared to KK, yet some report Lollipop would be much smoother compared to KK.
My OTA went away also. After a couple days I got pissed and sideloaded the OTA. Everything is much smoother it seems. Haven't run into any app issues at all yet. Hopefully it stays bug free. I'm liking it so far.
I like it. Much smoother and touchscreen is a lot better now. But I've noticed battery life has sucked. Getting like 5 hours screen on time. Not as good as kit Kat.
Also, the brightness is all weird. Its only ever bright when I'm halfway on brightness. Anything lower is too dark.

It runs smooth for me, except when running games like MInecraft, Dead Trigger 2. Even Wheel of Fortune is laggy at some points. Hopefully the hardware isn't becoming outdated this soon. Maybe these laggy games will be fixed in future updates.
I have to say I despise the vast amount of changes to move settings, launcher, etc. to white background with black text. It makes my eyes hurt. I wish I could get back black background and white text on most of the common screens I have to use all the time.
Battery life sucks for me. 2h24mins screen on and at 54%.

You've had the screen on for 2.5 hours straight and you have 54% battery, and you think that sucks? That means you would get over 5 hours of constant screen on time. How much did you get before?
So I like many of you have been jonesing for some sweet lollipop action. It's frustrating to have a top end device and to have to wait. But for those of you who have not had the opportunity to play with lollipop let me just tell you, it ain't ready for prime time. I was excited to get it on my nvidia shield tablet, and in the end unlocked the bootloader and went backt to 4.2 because it was so buggy. I know the user experience varies some from device to device, and the new features are cool. But it will be much better to get our droids updated with a solid release, esp. since we won't have the option to turn back the clock with our locked boot loaders. I know it's not what most want to hear, but It's made me a lot more patient with regards to our Turbos getting updated.

I keep seeing people saying things like this. I came from a nexus 5 with lollipop and never had any issues. 5.0 is a stable release. What was "buggy" for you?
For the nvidia shield, it just dogged down the tablet. Chrome froze often in browsing situations, FB had a major memory leak problem, and as a whole the tablet just slowed down and began to hang frequently. I factory reset after the OTA and was running totally stock and it down graded the user experience significantly. Many others reported very similar experiences on that device. I just read today they've released a 5.0.1 update, so I'm definately going to watch that closely because lollipop is definately cool. Esp. the smart lock, screen pinning, and new material design look. But it is all pretty useless if it dogs your hardware. I'm sure they will get it fixed, but all I'm saying is I'd rather have it running right on the turbo, than running like it was on the nvidia shield, esp. since our turbos are locked down and their is no way going back.
Nvidia shield has an Nvidia processor, this is the problem
I put lolliop on my nexus 7(2012) and i was amazed at the improvrment. Seemed like it freed up memory and it was buttery snooth. My only complant would be the white backgrounds and keyboards. Haven't seen it on phone yet. Can't wait
I also saw a lot of bugs on both a moto g 2014 and the nexus 6. There are always people who do not have the same experiences, but for me it was nowhere near what I consider stable.
Still no issues on the 2013 nexus 7 or 1st gen moto g. I also don't see the point of these "keep calm" threads. It's about as useful as the "unlock our bootloader" threads
