Anyone got rendering issue on Lolipop? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've updated my Nexus 4 to latest Lolipop factory image and everything is fine, image has right MD5, flashing without errors and booted successfully.
These two days I saw some rendering issue on Lolipop, as my screenshot followed. This issue happens on stock and 3rd party apps. Do you guys have any issue like this?

Yes, I get rendering errors also. So far, it shows sometimes when reading emails where the whole message is rendered in one small line. It appears in K-9, but also blue mail. Going back/forth one email message solves it. It seems to appear at random. I tried playing with developer options like hardware rendering, but no success yet. I regret having upgraded

Razr M keeps rebooting

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out why my phone keeps rebooting. I've tried stock 4.1.1, stock 4.2.2, pacman, carbon, CM10.1, aokp and they all seem to reboot. The reboots are pretty random but I can pretty much always get it to reboot within 30 minutes if I'm playing some sort of audio or video. Also when I turn my screen on (from sleep) it flashes this weird screen (see attached image).

could be a ROM/Kernel pairing. have you tried wiping system/data/internal storage - reboot recovery, then flashing a new ROM?
the static screen is common on custom 4.2.2 ROMs, but it's usually a quick flash. I don't get any random reboots though.
I've tried many different rom's along with the Vanquishkitties kernal but still random reboots
I noticed my phone acting weird, specifically it would not play any audio, I noticed this because when I was in the dialer it was going really slow. Then I tried to play some notifications and none worked. I rebooted my phone and all seemed ok, I've attached two logs the first one being while audio would not work and the second after the reboot. I'm not really sure what to look for in the logs but thought someone here might.
This might be something...
E/AudioStreamOutALSA( 300): pcm_write returned error -5, trying to recover
Or this, just a warning though...
W/AudioTrack( 692): obtainBuffer timed out (is the CPU pegged?) 0x63d72108 name=0x6user=00001000, server=00000000

Just noticed that when in the dialer and the phone starts working very slow, if I turn the sound all the way off, the phone becomes responsive
two more logcats for anyone interested in helping this time one is when trying to use google voice actions, I actually get an error message that says can't open microphone and the other is when someone called me and I did not have any ringtone but I answered and I could not hear them and they could not hear me, shortly after my phone rebooted, I did not catch the reboot in the logcat.
Also when it reboots it doesn't reboot all the way it boots to the boot logo screen and then hangs and I have to hold all three buttons until it reboots again, is there a way to get it to just reboot on its own?
After the reboot everything seems to be fine until I experience the same issues again
Which ROM are you on right now? That sounds like a kernel level issue

I'm currently using CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20130712-0020 and kernel [email protected]
but i've experienced this issue with every ROM / kernel i've tried even the stock ones.

Has your issue been resolved? I am almost facing the same issues of random rebooting with my phone and was searching for a solution....
Did anyone ever find a fix for this?
Stock rooted 4.1.2 with some frozen bloatware and a GSM-specific build.prop file. I get several random reboots per day. Has upgrading to KK fixed this for anyone?

Camcorder FC and viewing video failure

So I have been on MGA for quite some time now while the whole KNOX saga has been thrown about. Finally I felt the time was now to upgrade to 4.3 and jumped on the latest Djembey ROM. Did a full wipe and the install via CWM went perfectly. Now all seemed well untill I went to the Camera app and clicked camcorder. This caused the error "Recording Failed" and closed the app. No matter what I did , including changing movie size and save location the same issue existed. I went to gallery and tried to view any video and it gives the error "Sorry this video cannot be viewed". No third party player would work either including DICE and VLC.
As this is more than likely something I've done wrong I gave it another reflash after a full wipe. Exactly the same issue. I also noticed that SVoice kept freezing and kept telling me the mic was in use else where. However this was the only app running. Another small issue is sound isn't working at all. Only vibration..
About to give up I tried the latest ECHOE ROM. Same issue existed on all account listed above. Im ready to throw in the towel and go back to stock for all the stock firmware links on Hotfile are broken at the moment so I cant even down load that. And whats to say these bugs won't exist in stock now either?
Really at my tether so any advice is appreciated.

A Lollipop made of Bugs !!!

Hello Everyone !
I updated my Nexus 4 to Android Lollipop 3 days ago and soon after I realized that it was a mistake and now I am stuck! I am facing all kinds of problems with it. Below is a list.
1. Pulse notification light is dead! Its not working for anything (missed calls, messages, app notifications etc...). Before the update it was working fine. I have checked all settings related to notifications. Pulse notification light option is on.
2. Sometimes I am not able to change the use Picture. It gives me the option to pick an image then crop and then it does nothing!
3. Many apps are crashing and have torn up UI after launch. I have attached a screenshot of PlayerPro UI
4. Many times I get an error pop up saying 'Android UI is not responding' which is weird because I don't have many applications installed or running.
I have tried resetting my device to its factory settings 3 times since the Lollipop update but I don't see any improvements. This is probably the worst Android Update released by Google since the evolution of Android. I never had problems when I updated to Kitkat but now, it has become my worst nightmare.
Is anyone else facing the same problems with Lollipop? Is there a way to go back to Kitkat, if yes then will I be receiving OTA updates in future? My device is not Rooted.
Thanks.

relax bro,**** happens
i'm running lrx21t (sideloaded) and haven't (luckily) experienced any major issue.
but from what i've heard,many weird issues have arisen,more so on nex5
but this is to be expected with an overhaul of this magnitude..
hang in,google should take care of it in MR1
to downgrade,sideload factory image of kitkat 4.4.4 occam available at the google dev site
u dont need root,just an unlocked bootloader and adb n sdk tools
complete guide can be found in other threads and multiple other sites
also there are videos on youtube specifically detailing the procedure
PLEASE NOTE UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER CAUSES SYTEM WIPE-u wil lose all your data
always back-up before flashing/sideloading any file
if u r stock,u should get ota
i'm not responsible if u brick ur phone due to any procedure...ur phone,ur decision
hit thanks if this helps u

New EU firmware! (EU1.1.124b)

So, it just popped up while my phone was idle, without anyone calling it in here first, YotaPhone finally decided to give us EU users the RU124 firmware! It looks from the changelog to be the exact EU equivalent to its RU counterpart, including YotaTravel, the return of the YotaStore and other stuff. It's been so long that I don't even remember, but I should be fine flashing this and then reflashing SuperSU and Xposed without losing anything, correct?
If you have stock recovery it will install fine. If not you should be able to grab the update zip from /cache and side load. Then reflash what you want.

Yep I'm still on the stock recovery (I just boot TWRP every time I need it). Gotcha, then I'm just dumping my Titanium Backup folder onto my PC as a precaution, and then I'll update and report back on SU\Xposed.
Looks like whatever Yota pushed at 117MB was the wrong thing - a failed update attempt and a reboot later, it's now 0.94 GB. Seems like it's the correct size in ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/EU/ so now it should work.
Update from RU1.1.112 to RU1.1.124 issue

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Just as expected the 0.94 GB update file worked, I reflashed SuperSU and Xposed and the phone is working great on 1.124b.
What version were you coming from?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
EU1.87. I wanted to go to the RU version but never could get a KitKat RU firmware to boot on my device, so I just gave up and went back to the latest EU firmware.
Ah OK that makes sense. Glad you got it working.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Go mine today (1.1.44HK)
Updated to EU 1.1.124b with official yotaflasher.
No Su nor any hack.
So far no bug, it's a great device.
Hi there!
I'm waiting for my yotaphone 2 from this new wave from chinese shops. I ordered the International version. Is it safe to flash the EU version firmware over the "international" version?
And please, can anyone provide an alternative downolad link for the yota flasher?
The one from offcial website:
https://yotaphone.com/us-en/ypflasher/
is a corrupted zip file.
Thanks!
Edit:
I could get it from here:
ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/YotaPhoneFlasher/
Seems there's a bug.
Almost each time i try to unlock phone (with power button) from EDP the pin keyboard isn't showing up, i must tap all over the EDP screen, way it's relocking then i can have the keyboard again.
Solved by using gesture instead of pincode

Instagram restricted access to its API, so none of 3rd party apps now work properly. Thats why Instagram Cover was removed.
Hello
I deployed this great update a few days ago, and it clearly brings numerous improvements and fixes.
One visibly new bug annoys me a lot anyway, and that's why I am posting :
When I type a SMS on the EPD, lots of freezes occur. And today, I found a simple pattern. I type a word, and then I back-delete one or a few letters of it. Then I add new letters, and that frequently freezes the EPD for a long moment.
It's not 100%, lots of times it freezes under these conditions, few other times it does not.
I setup 3 languages to choose from (thanks to the update !) and the auto correction is ON.
Does someone else experience the same issue ? Any workaround or fix ?
Thanks
Appens to me 2 times, each time i needed to look/unlook the edp screen to solve
My problem is that with the latest update I need to restart my phone until it starts charging. Otherwise it will not charge ... does this happen to anybody else? Probably I should try to reset ...
no charge bug here
No charge bug here neither. Quite the opposite in fact, I would even say that autonomy obviously improved since this update.
And I confirm I have the same bug with the PIN keyboard not showing up on the EPD when using the Powa button. It happens very often after using the other screen, but unlocking by tapping twice is an easy and efficient workaround.
Surprising obvious bugs anyway, I hope the Yotagods watch us and intend to fix them.

Redmi 3s Is Driving Me Crazy :( Problem with Gallery App / Videos Please Help.

Hi everybody,
i got serious issues with my redmi 3s which are really driving me nuts. A month or so ago I noticed that it's not possible anymore to send videos (mostly webm files) via whatsapp. When I try to send the file Whatsapp freezes and I have to restart it. I also noticed that when I open the gallery app (the google gallery app) it only show's the thumbnails of the first couple of webms in my download folder. Sometimes, when I try to send the videos via google gallery app, the whole phone crashes and restarts.
This problem occured on the latest stable official rom. I switched to the lastest xiaomi.eu rom, did a factory reset with twrp, but the problem still persists.
I don't think that this is a Whatsapp problem - I think it's more of a android- or filesystem problem.
Does anyone know about this issue and how to fix it?
kind regards
lunatikk
Try switching to Zwliew's CM rom. Do a clean flash (back up data and format everything). You should be ok after that.

I had a friend who had the exact same issue. Follow these steps:
1. Get a fastboot rom.
2. Flash the fastboot rom using the MI Flash tool.
That's it. It'll be okay after that. Always stick to the developer ROM for constant bug fixes.

That sounds promising. I'll try that with the fastboot version of the dev rom and then I'll check back here.

Ok, yesterday I flashed my device using Miflash with the latest dev fastboot rom file from xiaomi.com (MIUI 8 Global 7.1.19 | Beta) and it didn't help at all. The phone is still crashing.
For instance I played around with a couple webm files. I copied 6 to the phone. Everything worked at this point. Then I copied the next six on the phone and when I opened the gallery app, I showed no thumbnails for the last six webms. In this state, when I go to the homescreen from here and hit the button left to the home button (which shows me all running apps) nothing happens even though there are running apps. It is also impossible to pull down the info bar from the top. And after approx. 20 seconds, the phone crashes and reboots.
It doesn't make any sense.
btw. I already got rid of my sd card a couple of weeks ago.
kind regards

Oh. Are you sure there aren't any bugs with the Webm files you're using? Have you tried accessing it with a different gallery app? Maybe the stock/google gallery app cannot handle it.
Btw, what happened with WhatsApp crashing? Does it still happen (after removing the remaining 6 Webm files)

hi,
I tried several gallery apps, with more or less the same result. I think I can rule out thtat the webm's are buggy, because I copied one webm file which wasn't buggy 6 times (so I had a total of 6 webm files) and then the error was reproducable. with only one or two copies of the same file everything worked fine.
Whats app only crashes when the buggy behavior of the gallery app is evident and I try to select a webm (with no thumbnail) and cklick on send.

Guess you're running out of options. Go for the RR Rom if you are willing to. Smoothest one out there.
