What i Gods name was Google testing this software on. Its simply just crap! Really really slow and I only have battery to lunchtime. Tried the cache wipe, but with no success. Even the sms text app uses 3-4 seconds to show. Sometimes, hitting the home button uses as long.
Is there an update coming? I really can't find much concrete on the net.

It's Samsung's fault because they rolled out Lollipop.
However, Google isn't blameless here - Lollipop has a been a clusterfcuk of a release in my opinion.
The only thing Google seems to have got right is Material Design. Where's the much vaunted improvements in battery life from Project Volta? MIA, even on the two Nexus devices I have.
Definitely seems to have been a case of form over function in Lollipop.
Interestingly, the preview release of Android M runs better on my Nexus 9 than any version of Lollipop ever did.
Regards,
Dave

I had far too many issues. I rolled back on KK. I said for a while "yeah, LP is awesome. Fluid... even though there are issues with it with the Note 4..." until I got sick of the lags here and there, and the battery drain... rolled back to stock KK, and boy! I'm happy! Battery life is automatically 20% better. I also like the stability, it doesn't feel like a toy anymore. I'll wait for 5.1.1
Where do I downloaded kitkat and roll back without rooting? I hate samsmobile download so please tell me it's an alternative

Easy! Use SamMobile to START the download, and then just copy the name that starts to download, and search for it on google.
Then put your phone in download mode, use Odin (put the ROM in the AP section, make sure you're using the correct rom for your phone), and click start.
Easy But these are the instructions I found. Search in the forum on how to downgrade to KK. That's what I did.
Best of luck!
this is a nightmare, how GN4 is soo slow? I've sold my Nexus 6 to buy this one....and wtf is happen with Samsung :S......why why :'(
I will downgrade o kitkat and I hope for better performance
I recently upgraded my Note 4 sm-n910G last month. I rooted my stock kitkat Note 4 and was loving it, Kitkat was blazing fast before and root was even better. But then i lost OTA and couldnt upgrade to Lollipop, even Kies3 wouldnt as i was "unofficial". After almost a year, i finally said F-IT, and went to Sammobile, got the Australian 5.0.1 BOC3 i believe, and flashed it. Did the factory reset even tho i didnt have to lose everything. In the end, its worked out beautifully, Lollipop runs fast, no lags or bugs. I think Kitkat was a fraction faster, but i dont have issues i keep hearing about battery drains & lags. All goog for me so far.
I cant wait for 5.1 for stock Note 4 rom. Im thinking about rooting this thing once again. I might even flash CM12.1 nightly ROM, the worlds my oyster

Hi all, my old nexus 7 tablet is totally unresponsive after updating to android 4.3. The problem can be recreated in every single browser you run. After several minutes of browsing the device begins to lag heavy to a point where performance is do degraded that even the return to home or multitask buttons are taking ages to respond. I am totally confused, a update with a trim function supposed to speed tings up is dousing massive problems. I have searched trough the forums in the web and many are reporting same problems.
Does any one here experience the same ?
Try reset to factory settings.

I have tried even different roms. Now i am at a stock rooted 4.3 (latest update) , same thing...
Will make a reset and see how long will the tablet stay fast.
Unfortunately for me after root the tablet started lags. Reinstall it completely and now use it without root.
I m not experiencing nothing from lags. But somehow mediaserver drains my battery and I can t get more then 4 hours screen. Before had 6 or 7 hours youtube and browsing.

I'm having the very same problem. I've tried all sorts of things to fix this with no lasting results. Factory resets make no difference. Also having a load of problems with the Play store, but that's happening on all my devices at the moment so it's likely not related.

This happened to me a while ago. No matter how many times I factory restored it was still slow and choppy. SO I was really desperate I downloaded the OEM factory image and flashed it. Low and behold that fixed all the ridiculous lagginess I had and it has been good ever since.

I'm in the process of trying this and it seems to be working for the time being. That said, I have had good, early results before and within a day or so the lag is back. This is the first attempt at flashing 4.3 ( I updated to 4.3 through OTA before) so I'm hoping it has a better result. I even performed a factory reset after flashing just so I know all bases are covered. If the lag does return then I'm at a loss as to why. Just as well I'm away to get the new Nexus7.

To me is not the lag that concernes me. Its the battery drain. No matter wich rom. The drain is allways present. In 4.2.2 its 40 % more battery time. I did a full image install from google.

Can't say I've noticed any detrimental effects on battery time for being on 4.3. If anything its better, if not just the same. Maybe it's still a bit early to tell one way or another, but all my woes seem to be gone. I'm not holding my breath though.
One thing I will say is that it doesn't half spoil a device if you have to spend more time troubleshooting, than actually using the thing.

Look at the thread. Only troubleshoting... lol. And I just gave my opinion... I m not a begginer and I know every piece of hardware behaves different. Thats what people are doing here. If you don t have nothing to complain you re lucky. Many of us are not the same opinion. Some for one reason others many... but one is sure. 4.3 its definitively not a major update and don t brings much over 4.2.2. They re slowing things with updates waiting for ios 7 is out to bring out klp. This will be a real and great update. For now they are throwing sand to your eyes...

I am on stock 4.3 now , stock as it can be. The lag is still present. I literally cannot brows, the browser is sooooo laggy and bugged, don't depend of the browser i am using. I don't know where the problem is , but this is strange behavior for sure. How come it be that only some are affected ? can it be something related with the TRIM option ?
My tablet was sent back to asus for a screen problem, after replacing they returned me the device flashed back to 4.2.2 and not the last 4.3 i had before ? Why is that , maybe the 4.3 does really have some problems here and there....
I also had the browser-produced lag. It was present no matter what ROM I used (Paranoid Android, SlimBean, CyanogenMod, Purity) and no matter what build (JWR66V, JSS15Q, even JWR66Y) I used. I made a strange decision, and downgraded to 4.1.2. Now I'm rather enjoying myself. I hope 4.3 will eventually work on my Nexus 7. Until then, back to the past.
Hello Friends...
As we all have updated our N7100 to official Android 4.3 XXUEMK4. The update is high dissatisfaction as compared to 4.1.2. Many people are facing problems. No proper procedure for root access. Extremely slow charging. Worst app KNOX. Many other useless apps Goolgle Play Books Games Hubs, etc.. Though the interface is good. I'm totally dissatisfied. My friends too. Express your views friends for the worst ever 4.3.
i think knox app is good...really good actually.
the nuisance is it come with knox bootloader.
Try custom roms and stop crying. I'm extremely happy with mk4 base. Rinning phoenix v15.7

KNOX is not even installed, you can hide the app in the stock launcher easily.
The boot-loader is however an inconvenience if you want to use custom roms. For me since i don't use s-pen features i'm not very affected by the lack of the new N3 features.
However i am disappointed by the fact that they did not update the weather widget. On my tab2 on 4.2 they updated it. And i think that this is the reason they "forgot" to change it for the S3/N2 since those devices skipped 4.2 they also skipped the weather widget update.
Summing it up, the 4.3 as far for now, the battery is great, witch is the most important thing, the performance and overall smoothness of the rom is good (and ofc it is since is a N2) GSM/H+ signal and speed are great, GPS lock si fast, wireless connects fine.
P.S: The SNote app could have been updated though, i mean only interface wise, excepting the new features.
IMO, 4.3 has failed us all...all the note 2 users.. As mentioned above, loong charging time with shorter back up, lagging ui, knox curse, lack of any useful note 3 features and all, samsung has hurried through this update only to try their last desperate luck on gear sales. I was soo late to discover that and for me, i have tasted this **** and looks like we all have to continue tasting it with the knox bootloader lock curse...
Good for me
:good:4.3 update sees good to me.
Although initially it was difficult for me to root now I found an easy way.
Stock rom was pretty stable and no lag issues for me. Battery backup was a little low than 4.1.2 but charging time is same.
It takes upto 2 hours 15 mins to charge from 0 to 100. I recently installed Criskelo rom and results are pretty amazing. Battery life is hell lot better than stock,
no lag issues,imported note 3 features and heavily debloated . Its my daily driver now and i will stick to it till I find something more better.
You guys can try it...I have tried almost every 4.3 rom..but this is Criskelo is best.
anyone of you with any better custom rom?
thanks
Simply root your phone and remember first go in knox mode and uninstall it from settings in knox mode and than download philz recovery v5.something
And than install supersu than when you reboot it says knox have blocked superuser/su dont worry just go to playststore and upgrade supersu and it will uninstall knox permanently and than flash ditto note 3 rom awesome rom guys around 99%features of note 3 with no error believe im using it!

Yup. I do wish people would learn to read up on things before just blindly flashing them. If you're not a regular on this site then that sort of thing is to be expected, but regular visitors to this site that have been caught out by Knox REALLY should have known better than just installing the latest Stock willy nilly.
Serves them right, really. I have no sympathy at all.

Have had my n7 since they came out (32g WiFi) and love it.. Lately she's been running real slow. (Official cm11).. If I do a full FULL wipe and drop an official 5.0.0 image on it, think that will help get some performance back? I know the internal memory type is a big limitation, any way to format it and maybe clean or speed it up?
(I've done the usual, wrote and reflash, open space, stop apps at startup, speed up tricks...)

A full wipe would more than likely help right now. Although with 5.0 a few weeks away, its best to wait until then. You could flash the official 5.0 factory images once they're up, or someone's bound to make a stock rooted 5.0 ROM also.
If you can't wait you could try experimenting with the f2fs formatting, there's a how to thread and a good selection of compatible ROMs available. In haven't tried it personally but most users seem to notice significant improvements on their N7.
I would suggest to install a diagnostic app like diagnosis by darken and read a report of how apps eat your cpu/ram instead of going the process of backuping and formating.
From my experience apps which slow a device
Facebook
Viber
WhatsApp
And most of the messaging apps.
A clean install of any Android version would help. ?
I would suggest using a cleaning tool like SD Maid by Darken and formatting your Cache/Dalvik Cache.

I recommend the Facebook app below, its based on the browser version and it a hundred times lighter than the official app. Doesn't have access to the permissions (basically everything) that the official fb app has either which is better.

Same problems here. I have hangups amounting to tens of seconds doing what used to be otherwise instantaneous actions when the tablet was new.
The question; is this performance degradation related to component aging or software-related? Our N7s are more or less out of 1yr warranty now and I am wondering whether there will be any traction with ASUS about a flaw which was present at purchase? Components crap out of the door outlasts a claim on fault developments in the wild.

2 things. A bloated system and cache will slow things down. And for me... My N7 seems slower every time I upgrade my phone. Lol
Wipe it clean and start again with fresh stock install. ?
Hardware doesn't slow down. It works, or doesn't work... Or can work intermittently if it's damaged. But not just slower.

IMO this the same as Q build but for folks like me and many others who could not install becase old recovey. I dont see many changes yet - browsing still drains like 1% every two minutes making this tablet piece of useless electronics.

I'm going to assume you haven't investigated what is causing your wakelocks. because that is abnormal drain time for any device. you are on lollipop, running old KitKat and donut software most likely . there are a number of free LP compatible wake lock analyzing options out there. solve your problems (in turn, help others with same issue), or consider going back to a pager.

Yeah I'm aware of such software and using it on my 1+1. However I wanted to at least try to use my Nexus 9 as "normal user" would do for the first time. Browsing still drains ridiculous amount of battery however I confirm that it is now much better on R build. And heating is much less.

I got tired of waiting for Google to issue a working OTA for those of us stuck on LRX21L so I flashed the LRX21R factory image. I'm very happy with it and am glad I took plunge. Noticeable improvements on smoothness. Device still gets hots at times but its improved IMO.
FYI.. I tried following googles instruction for flashing the image. It didn't work.. It crapped out on the SYSTEM.IMG.
Manually flashing each of the IMG files went fine though and all is now working great.
Lastly,
I'd like to point out the the device restore feature worked much better than I had hoped. It even managed to keep app data settings on a couple of apps (that don't have sign in accounts).

Did. It works with black screen, lockscreen, homescreen, within apps, everywhere. You have it turned on in GNow settings?
Got the R update today. Seems good so far. :good:
So looks like the Note 3 wont get another update. For us ATT folks were stuck on 5.0.

Nothing new. Samsung and all other android phone makers have horrible records in keeping their phone updated. I can still run IOS 9.1 beta on my ipad2 which is two years old. Next phone will be either Motorola or Nexus.
Looks like it's off to the 6P I go in a couple months.
This does not rule out a pity update to 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 however.
That's okay. I wasn't too happy with Lollipop. I'll stick with Kit Kat.

How much time did you give Lollipop? The fist 3-4 days I hated it, battery life sucked and I was constantly chasing apps that were killing it. Now I absolutely love Lollipop...better battery life than KK, connects to "screen mirroring" and chromecast instantly, stable with fluid swipes, solid connections on BT, slightly better RF and voice on calls. I'll ride this out for a while until I have $$$ for another used phone.

Takes a couple of charging cycles to fully settle in. Quicker if you clean install, & have SQLite/fsTRIM set up properly.
There may be a 5.0.2 port with an OC1 base coming in a little while. Don't give up on LP just yet

It was more of the UI feel and a few things specific that I like about Kit Kat over Lollipop.
