Notification /Status bar lag - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i have noticed in the last few days that every time I drop down the notification bar it lags and makes my phone look slow and laggy and sometimes it's just hangs there halfway for like 5 seconds. I am rooted running stock with xposed and it has never happened before.
SOLVED : I tried changing kernel and changed to Franco from hells core and it seemed to fix the problem but does have microlags sometimes

Restart? You mean switching off and on the device? I have done that numerous times and it hasn't helped ?

I've seen none of those problems at all. No screen flickering, no lag, nothing.

Chrome seems laggier than it should be, hope there is some issue there than can be fixed to improve performance.
Every Nexus 7 I've had so far (that'd be 4) have all had washed out looking greens and yellows and over saturated whites. Hoping that is something a patch can fix.
Tegra 3's Prism smart dimmer feature causes the screen to look over exposed while and after videos play (fades away after a few seconds). I've disabled the smart dimmer, so it's okay for me, but seems like an issue that needs a patch.
I have seen nothing in JB 4.1.1 that would require an update at this point.
Might as well expect an update for dark pixels.

Screen flickering is a known hardware issue
Mine lags bad from time to time. I wonder if it has to do with google now because my galaxy nexus lags just as bad if not worse when i tap the google now search bar. I was trying to find and app (shazam) and thought it would be faster to look for it through now, but it lagged and lagged and lagged. By the time I got the app open, the song was over and I couldn't tag it.
My Gnexus is great, fast ,no complains at all,Google now is quick I got no lag, but on the nexus 7 it becomes a problem to the point that I have to switch it off and use the browser.

I use dropbox which is pretty much the same in terms of resources. I have play movies, music, currents, books. I have pandora on there, google now, generally everything you could need. I've done this on both stock 4.1.1 and on Paranoid Android (every iteration). Literally NO lag. Even being slightly underclocked.

Nope, it's from a poorly soldered wifi chip, that is drawing power away from the screen when wifi is low.
I had this issue, and called Google personally for support, and the person confirmed that the screen flickering was hardware, not software.

That's what I thought he meant, but I think he means 4.1.2 to fix any bugs (that I haven't noticed) in 4.1.1

Never had any of that so I doubt its a "software issue". If it is its likely something you installed.
quick update about the lag on the nexus7:
i used Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.2 to root and install recovery about 4 times ,and in all this times i had problems with lag ,so two days ago i decided to restart again and root the n7 with Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v2.0 but without installing the custom recovery.
now it very quick and as no lag at all,and yes i loaded the identical apps all the previous time.
ideas???

I think most of the lag is because of a bad app or a setting somewhere. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. I'm just looking forward to the update that fixes the bootloader issues with accessing recovery without the usb cable or using terminal commands/adb/apps.

Anyone having problems with random reboots? (Nexus Logo fast reboot)

My nexus 4 started rebooting once every 1-2 days randomly.
It isn't like a full reboot it just shows the nexus logo and then the homescreen, the whole process takes less than 10 seconds.
It occurs randomly, once at the homescreen.
It isn't happening to me. Try using a different ROM/kernel combo or a factory reset.

You might try a data/factory reset, save important files to the pc first. Or it may be an app (incompatible or corruped in some way) that causes this issue.

At least 2 threads on here already about random reboots. Try to not use any widgets that user location services, or try disable location services (unless you need them) until Google releases a fix.

I'm using widgets that use location services as well (Beautiful Widgets) but never experienced a random reboot. From what I know, the nexus 4 and nexus 7 are both known for having this problem though.
This happened to my wife's n4 a lot. She wanted to return it but I convinced her to let me try something first. I flashed factory images and she hasn't had any reboots yet.

Hangouts - Supper Laggy

Is anyone's Hangouts super laggy in the beginning when it's loading all the SMS's?
Whenever I close all my apps and start it up again, it takes like 5 seconds to load up. Maybe not too long, but obviously with the processor we have it should definitely be faster. Anybody suggest a fix if they have fixed it, or just somebody experiencing the same?
And by laggy, i mean it's just a white screen until the sms's are loaded, and then it's smooth as butter for me.
-Side note, My WIFI turns ON randomly even though I don't touch the phone.... odd.
You have to realize that no matter what kind of power you throw at it this phone is 3 version behind in android now. Optimization is the key thing here.

I still haven't got the hangouts update but got the new Google search the day it came out. Yes I know I can sideload it but im just being patient

KOT49E Discussion thread.

Open thread to discuss this new update.
Did anyone noticed any Youtube improvements? (stuttering / 1080p playback)
The static noise that was present at low volume disappeared for me, so as a result, clearer audio.
The transparent bars in landscape and portrait mode for the lock screen (I think this was not present in 4.4)

Yep static noise is definitely less audible at low volume. Nice fix.
Anyone still get the random reboot issue after this update?

that's discouraging.
Has anyone else noticed the date doesn't show up on the bootup initial lock screen, but reappears once you unlock and relock, also with the translucent bars they've corrected the spacing in the displayed date, in 4.4 it didn't have spaces.
Performance in Asphalt 8 seems to dropped also, maybe a placibo effect but it feels like the fps has gone down 10 frames
So there is no listing anywhere of a changelog or what all this OTA involves, fixes and changes?

updated already and now will observe if the random reboots are still occurring.
didn't see any immediately visible change. for instance on the homescreen, the transparent status above and home keys below weren't translucent like that of Nexus 5. on the lockscreen though, the status bar became translucent.
To those people with random reboot:
-Did you check your apps first? Try booting in safe mode and use your tablet for a day; if there is no reboot then that means some of your apps did that.
-Did your disabled any of Google app sync? Try enabling the sync again.
Personally I have never experience random reboot on this tablet. On my N7 2012 there were countless times the reboot occurs but that was definitely due to lack of ram.
Just updated to KOT49E. Video performance has improved. My Beweather animations aren't stuttering anymore.

My tablet can reboot twice a day and then no more reboot for 1 week... So it's very hard to make any test.
About 2 reboots on 3 is when the tablet is not in use and the screen is closed.
If I was almost alone with this issue... I could test some installed apps, however since many people is having the same issue, I don't think it is related to any "installed" app.

I expect many other nexus 7 users have installed any app you've installed. The fact that this impacts multiple users doesn't rule out a problem with installed apps.

Install Seeder or Fstrim. I know seeder works as I have it running.
