Laggy app drawer on stock 3.2?

Has anyone else had problems with a very choppy app drawer on Acer's official 3.2 update as well as all Acer 3.2-based roms? Usually, it starts out very smooth. Then, after a second or two, it gets really slow.

i have the same issue. Ive just learned to deal with it. Really hope there is a fix though.
Ive tried to overclock but that doesnt seem to help at all.

Running stock 3.2:
I've noticed a massive hang time after boot. Painfully show to launch any browser,x Diffacult to switch between apps, non responsive typing on screen and then registering some seconds later and it even takes a real long time to bring up my task killer. Getting feed up with it.
Anyone else withe these issues? Any speed up tips?

Nexus 7 Screen not responding to touch sometimes?

Hi everyone,
I recently bought the Nexus 7, and honestly, for $200 I couldn't be happier. However, there is one minor issue with the Nexus 7. Randomly, touches will stop registering, and sometimes things like the power button will cease to function as well. After a while, everything will start working again as if nothing had happened earlier. However, recently, I've been seeing a force close in random apps (sometimes launcher, sometimes settings) as soon as it starts working again. Although I am rooted right now, I've experienced the same issues on a purely stock OS as well. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks so much.

i am in the same boat. i am NOT rooted (yet) and i am wondering if this might be a warranty issue. the screen just stops responding all of a sudden and takes multiply presses to make it move. it comes back but keeps missing touches. a restart certainly fixes that but it will happen again.

Same issue here with random unresponsiveness calling both Google and Gamestop to see what option is best for me.

Same here. A GPlay rep said a factory reset should correct it.
Havent done it yet

Having the same issue. A hard reboot fixes it temporarily but it happens again after a few hours.

Saw a YouTube video on this a couple of days ago. There are a ton of them there now. Here's just an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BOTU75DBUA. Some other guy had done more elaborate testing, but can't find that one right now. It seems like a widespread problem. Do you notice this happens when the unit gets hot perhaps? Just curious... The guy in the other video said that it'd go away each time by simply turning off the screen and turning it back on... but that's not normal obviously.

Just turning off the screen and waking it back up usually "fixes" it for me...its happened about 3 times already...

I get it sometimes but it feels more like it's lag related then the screen.

The issue(s) that I'm experiencing is random touch screen unresponsiveness/ lagg. So I repeat this is not about dead spots or multi touch issues.
Feel free to link other threads with similar issues to this, I've searched but only find dead spots, multi touch issue, screen crackling and dead screens.

I think that the touch srceen firmware was broken, just wait the OTA next time, and ASUS will fix it.

Same Screen Issue
The screen on my Nexus 7 is randomly becoming unresponsive and I have to restart the tablet. It is usually happening after using apps that are video memory intensive (Google Earth, Google+). I hope Google or Asus will fix this issue because I love the tablet and I would hate to send it back.

I have the same issue. Usually it happens when a resource hog is running in the background. It is annoying but I can deal if its infrequent.
Sent from one of my devices, you nosey bastards.

I think it may be hardware related. My first N7 had this issue and I exchanged it (albeit for other reasons). My new unit has had zero problems, even when running the same apps. Draw something and chrome were the biggest culprits before.

+1. When it becomes unresponsive, I briefly press the power button to shut the screen off, then turn the screen back on and for me that solves it 90% of the time. The remaining 10% of the time, well, it's just frozen so I long-press the power button to reboot the tablet.

My son and I have experienced this too. It seems to happen most frequently with games. However, sometimes when I go to Settings->Apps, it will go to its "Happy Place" and freeze up for a while. Letting it sit will eventually cause a dialog to pop up asking if I want to close it because it is not responding. I'm thinking that it's a software issue because even when I've been playing games, the Nexus isn't very hot. Is there a way to file a bug report with Google?

I had this issue when I received my replacement 7.
After I did a system update and the issue has not returned. I received my replacement on 07-27.
I would suggest trying to do a system update and see if that may help.
Edit:
Removed the Build Number, as I can not remember which BN shipped with the replacement.

Back and Menu buttons sometimes don't work

Heelo.
I have noticed that sometimes (happened to me 3 times in 4 weeks now) while doing random things (most recentone was when i was looking at a picture on facebook and wanted to exit the picture), back and menu buttons under the screen don't respond. Home button works, touchscreen works, but menu and back key doesn't. In order to make it work I have to turn the screen on and back on so that they start working. I am using OMEGA 3.1 ROM and Faux 003 kernel.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Check if on stock rom it doesn't work either, or ask in the rom/kernel thread.
Sent with Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT I9505)

As I mentioned it happened 3 times in about 4 weeks now, so it's not a kind of thing that I could test with other roms, because it's very very rare. But I have also noticed that sometimes the same two buttons are less responsive than other times (like sometimes I can barelly press it with a tip of my index finger and it responds, but other times it does not respond when touched with point of finger, it only responds when I touch it with the pad of my finger - does it have something to do with electricity or softer skin on pads of fingers?).
Thank you

I've had this a few times in a bit over a week. Doesn't bother me as it's pretty rare and most likely a bug that will be fixed or possibly bugs in the apps themselves.
Good thing home button still works.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

I also think it's a bug. Just had to ask as I didn't find anything with google
Thank you!!

I think he asked if you could test on a stock rom so you can see if its a hardware issue. Ive had mine for almost 4 weeks now and my back and menu button never failed to respond so far. Im on stock btw.

Same thing has happened to me a few times also.
I will be using an app or something, attempt to push the back button to get out of that app, and all of a sudden both the back button AND menu buttons die.... u press the area where they are located and nothing happens, no vibration, no light up, no nothing. The only way to fix it, is to restart the phone.
Only happens very rarely - and hard to guage when it might occur and repeat, due to its random nature.

Same thing happens to me. Also very rare, it's happened twice in 1 month

N9005 self restarted

I don't know what is wrong with my Note3 N9005 it restarted by itself without any reason. It happened twice in this week already. I have been using it since the beginning of March bought it brand new on ebay.
The current FW is 4.42. I am suspected the cause is the apps I dowloaded but just don't know which one. Does any one have any ideas?
Sent from my Samsung Note3 N9005 Using XDA Premium Mobile

Hi.
I had same problem - even 2-3 restarts per day. In my case, someone of these apps caused problem (i installed them every time I wipe phone or install firmware, doesn't matter custom or stock).
1. Timely
2. Facebook
3. Facebook Messenger
4. Mx player
5. Plantronics hub
6. Cyberon Voice Commander Pl
Since few days I'm on stock XUENC2 ETL firmware, and I only upgraded stock apps and istalled shazam. In next few days i try to install Cyberon.

I think mx player could be the culprit. I say this because I have 3 different players on my phone. Every now and again when I use them my phone goes into spasm!
It stops paying anything, I lose all sounds then gradually I lose the ability to use my phone until I restart it.
I've had it Sent to Samsung but it returned with same problem.
I now only use one player and as yet it's not done it since. .

Uninstall all apps you installed just before it started? And then re-add them one by one until it starts rebooting again. Then you'll know which.

I am gonna try it. My phone restarted again today and it was sitting inside my belt case I heard the restarting sound, So it was self restarted even it was not in use, wow!
My previous phone was a China made ZOPO ZP990 before that was OPPO Find 5 both didn't do self restart like this and both are cheaper than Note 3 but the Note 3's been giving me the self restarting, lagging even hangs like a computer a few times. I think I should email Samsung and see what they say. Thank you for your idea tho.

I have many posts about this device rebooting randomly and freezing. I believe the problem is the RAM. You see, I don't suffer from this problem anymore, not by unchecking this and removing that or by factory resetting but because I have my phone set to "noop" and "performance" [300-2265] in SetCPU. I did this so that the RAM doesn't really get a chance to "keep" a process running for too long. It forces the phone to do what is has to immediately and with all the necessary processing power is can muster.
Battery life? I get 20+ hours comfortably unless the screen brightness is set too high, which is a "duh" in my opinion.
If you do a search for "freezing" or "random reboots" you will see that you aren' alone.

Sorry for writing it another time, but from my experience, this and other topics with freeze and restart problem, are hard to find.
After few months of crashing, and restarting, I send my Note to service center on warranty with knox 0x1. They changed mainboard. Currently testing, but it seems to be ok right now.
Freeze and rebots, restarts of Note 3 have to be HARDWARE FAILURE
I tired everything, diffrent roms, setcpu settings, with no success.

anyone else experiencing freezing lately?

This is my second Ph-1 and it is starting to freeze multiple times a day. I read the previous post regarding Nova causing these issues, I am using the stock browser and so far, so smooth. I really dislike all the "whiteness" of stock and the lack of customization.. but it is worth it for a smooth experience.

Side loaded any apps?

I've experienced this issue lately. Yes I am using Nova as my daily driver. I just restarted the phone and issue went away. Hopefully it stays away. If it pops up again I'll report back.

I've had my phone for about a month now. I have had Nova loaded since day one but just recently have experienced the freezing and reboots. It is very random for sure. I may try a run without Nova if it happens much more.

Nope, nothing sideloaded...

I am using Pixel 2 launcher for over a month and I like it.

I've had crashing on Beta 2 quite a bit with Nova. OTAing to Beta 3 reduces the crashes to once a week using Nova, which is pretty okay.
It's usually when I try to unlock the phone or am in the middle of doing something that everything just times out and reboots :s

Still on nought and have noticed bout the past week or so have had 2 freez ups. I'm using nova also. Rooted with magisk and viper and a batt mod.

Wow... I've had my Ph1 for over a month, running Nova.(not rooted, don't feel the need to) .. and I've had no issues at all... I'll admit I can recall a few hiccups (nothing major) when I first received it, but after all the updates, mine is running top notch... I understand that this phone had a rough launch... and a butt load of updates... But I honestly can't complain about my experience....

Well I made it almost 8 days this time before it restarted on its own while sitting on my desk. I usually like to reboot my phones every so often but I wanted to see how long it would go this time. DARN lol!!!

Oreo beta 3 crashing often for me. Nova printer has been my launcher for a long time. Will try to uninstall it and run another launcher to see if that helps.

Tried Apex launcher and pixel launcher. No real difference. Phone is difficult to unlock. Takes a long time. System UI crashed. Oreo beta 3 seems overall buggy for me.
Is there a way to troubleshoot whether or not I could be having a hardware issue as opposed to a software issue?

I've seen temporary freezes, like a 1-2 second delay but they're pretty rare. Not sure what some others are labeling a freeze. Does that mean 10 seconds, a minute, they need to reboot?

I've tried a factory reset and that didn't seem to resolve the problem at all. In fact, it seems like unlocking got slower after the reset. The only things outside the box I am doing is using the Google camera app, running an app called layout to hide the navigation keys, and running an ADB command that makes the screen slightly larger by moving the top parameters of the screen up closer to the notch at the top of the phone. I guess I can do another factory reset, restore my applications, but don't install Google Camera or make any adjustments to hide navigation keys or change screen size.
I may do that, or just wait for the official release of Oreo which I hope is soon!
If anything here sounds like a hardware issue, I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

For example, when the phone has been sitting a few minutes I pick it up, touch the fingerprint sensor and get no feedback. The phone seems dead. I push the power button and nothing happens. I can do this several more times and then the phone may, or may not open. When it is working smoothly, I tapped the fingerprint sensor quickly and hear the"click" sound immediately. About 50% of the time this does not happen. If I had to estimate the amount of time it freezes or lags, it is certainly in excess of 10 seconds.
Many times I am forced to hold the power button down until it reboots.
In other cases, I may be in the middle of using the phone, it will start to lag and freeze, and then automatically reboot itself.

I'm on the beta 3 release and I'm not experiencing that at all. Fingerprint unlocks in under 1 seconds almost every time. You may want to try a clean install without your other "enhancements". Personally, I'd do that just to get some stability and/or reliability. That may also save you time once the 8.1 beta drops because if you can determine that's the culprit, you'll know not to install that stuff on the next beta.
Honestly, as finicky as this phone has been for some users, I wouldn't install anything other than normal apps from the Play Store. I'm really holding off on rooting until the 8.1 beta drops so I can still get the ota as soon as it's released. Then I'll start playing with custom ROM's, etc.
I've only had this for about a week, coming from a Pixel. Flashing that phone was the worst experience of my life, looking forward to trying it here.

Thanks. Good points. I'll take your advice and clean flash.

The phone is less than 6 months old, getting hard freezes. requires restart by holding power and vol down.
Happens almost everyday while watching youtube and trying to switch to any other application.
