Thoughts about JB on PT-3113

So what are your thoughts about JB. So far i havent played with it alot and it seems a bit snappier but not alot though

I think its ok bit dont like the notification bar. The phone look doesnt soot the tab prefer the layout of ics. Performancenis very good though no lag

improved wi-fi
I'm not sure, but I think the wi-fi reception has improved.

screen rotation
I disable the screen rotation but the lock screen still rotates
Does anyone meet the same problem?

I personally don't see much difference in performance. With the status bar moving to the top and performance about the same,I'd have to score it a -1 or a 0 at best.

i never saw any performance issue with ICS so i don't see any improvement in JB. I do love the google now / voice search stuff though.

I think some of you need to check you're TAB's.. I, like some here, have been running stock ICS (P-3113) & updated the other day (after the long wait for the official Jelly Bean update) & I noticed quiet a bump in performance. One thing that might have helped me was the fact that I did a Wipe/Factory Data Reset before I updated. I also didn't do a restore from backup, I actually reinstalled everything fresh & everything is running great so far! One thing that helps it feel faster is the fact that everything is so much smoother & jitter free now, I also notice apps open a lot quicker now.. no more little pause after touching an icon.
.:Things I like:.
Performance: The tab seems much "snappier" now.
Project Butter: The "stutter" is gone.. everything IS Buttery Smooth now!
Battery: Run time seems to have improved a little bit.. I was getting two days of light use on ICS, with JB I'm now on the third day at 44%.
Phablet UI actually isn't to bad, I thought I was going to have to use the tab in portrait mode all the time.. nope, put in landscape, disable screen rotation, done.
.:Things I don't like:.
I could do without the "shortcuts"? row on the right side in landscape mode.. Phablet UI.
I wish they would have left the soft buttons at the bottom where they were.. although, I am starting to get used to their new location now.
Notification bar at the top, really.. OKAY!?
Q: Is the root method the same as it was for ICS or has something changed.. if so, point me to the post w/the new method please. Thanks.
The TAB 2 now feels like a useful device I look forward to using every day. AWESOME.
Later, Phil B.

I'll agree with the post above. I first upgraded via kies and really didn't notice any performance improvement. But after a full wipe and reinstallation with Odin I see a marked improvement in performance. The whole UI is much "snappier" and the performance of demanding apps like NFS Most Wanted is also noticeably improved!
For those like me who hate the "phablet" look I posted a method here that will pretty much get you back to what you are used to.:good:
Oh and CF-Auto-Root still works for me!

yes, I have the same problem on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 but this is not really a problem. I have larger problems after the update to JB today:
1- I can't connect my galaxy tab 2 7.0 to PC, and I've installed the Kies but no help.
2- I hadn't have much free internal memory on Ice Cream Sandwich, but it used to work properly without any app to stop responding. But JB uses much more internal memory and this made the device very slow and it stopped working frequently (apps and even touch-wiz stops working) and I had to restart it every 2-3 minutes (even the keyboard on lock screen didn't appear to enter my password). So I had to uninstall lots of apps to free the storage and now I have 487 MB free, It had improved a lot but it's still slower than the past (with Ice Cream Sandwich). the apps starts slowly and sometimes they stop working and I have to restart the device.
here are my questions:
1- 478MB free internal storage is not enough for the JB? you have more free memory on your devices?
2- I've read that some have reset the device then update it and then reinstall everything, do you think this will help?
3- what about the problem of not connecting to PC? anybody has the same problem?
_______________
P.S. I've just master rest my device and install all my apps again and it worked, the problems are solved and JB looks good.

I would agree with that also. I was at the Gym yesterday morning when i updated my tablet .i get a wifi signal from the restaurant next door the signal was always weak when running on ICS but after i updated it to JB the connection seemed to be better The device seems to be snappier but i think im going to do a factory reset anyway and see what difference it makes.

Way better. I like the new layout as it unifies the Android experience. Faster and snappier. Was going to sell it soon if the Note 7 comes out but I may keep it. Via OTA. Battery seems longer too. Like the status bar percentage. Like the Video Player pop out to multi task. It's just great IMHO.

Without Allshare cast, the upgrade was not worth much to me.

I like it, using cryogen would love to get the peel app back, runs smoother and faster. New to android but have been a long time fan.

Android Lollipop 5.0.2 Bugs / Troubles / Grievances

I just updated to lollipop using the official leaked ota for XT1068 and to my surprise it was full of stutters everywhere.
I did a complete wipe including the internal storage and reinstalled all my apps again. But seems like animations have taken a serious hit wid the newer update.
Steps to reproduce stutters or lags
1.Swipe down from status bar
Click on users icon... And click more settings... Enjoy the lag...
2. Open app drawer (newer google now launcher)
Click on home button
Enjoy microstutters...
3. Go to settings
Click on any title..
The animation that seems to come from lower part of screen towards center also lags for the first time...
Material design is said to be accompanied by fluidity which i failed to find on a 1gb ram quad core cpu phone with a dedicated a305gpu..
One of the major hits was that switching data on now requires at least 4 touches...yes i know aosp has it like this but...Moto being an oem could have made it simpler... For someone like me who toggles data several times a day, this is hectic.
One thing again moto failed to do was to remove the drop down quick setting when a secured lock screen is used. How the hell it is secure when any one can swtich off the data and swtich on air plane mode or even use my phone as a wifi hotspot..
These are no personal modifications i require but these should been a must. for an oem like moto who favours stock android..its also necessary to put some easy things rather just making aosp as it is coz aosp is no where perfect.
People who say its a low end phone and m happy with whatever i m served on a low priced phone, plz stay away.
No i am not free enough to revert to kitkat as i have a busy life currently and i cant spend my every day reinstalling apps n setting them up ...
Edit -
Few more bugs
# wifi battery drain is present wid build 5.0.2. Battery is draining even when all the wifi toggles are off (including scanning while sleep) .. Have seen this on my nexus 5 too.... U can thank google for this and motorola for not patching it..
# net is switched on and working but it is not accompanied by E/H icon near the signal icon ... This bug is random and just showed up on my device...

Tried the 3 things you mentioned, and yes, I get it as well.
I thought it was only me, phew!

Report the same to official Moto support forums for MFN ,, maybe for these, moto is still not going global release ,, may be they would notice and try to improve

We're not soak testers though, just installed from zip.

I can confirm all three present ,,, but overall system response and especially ram management is improved ,,, I think these are aosp issues,

Not sure if bug or not, but suddenly the status bar has stopped changing colour according to the background. For example, first when I opened XDA on Chrome, the status bar changed to Orange. Same for MX Player. Now, it doesn't. Can anyone confirm or deny?

NOPE ,, checked it 3-4 times,, status bar color is still changing in xda chrome to orange (go to devices page of moto g ), and working in mx too
and the first lag pointed above (user profile ) is now much smoother now

Well, I changed back to "Merge apps and tabs" option and it's working in Chrome. Can't get it to work in MX Player. Which colour are you using for MX Player?

funny it was working with pink) ) selected but now its not working . In vlc its working and playstore is hard freezing sometimes ,, had to reboot it

I don't know if kk+xposed is better in performance than this stock lollipop. People that gave a try to this new build answer me please.

Do you have root? If yes, feel free to try my app/widget Toggle Data 5.0 (with Locale/Tasker support). The first post includes a fully functional, xda-exclusive free version.

I read on another thread about how battery life is worse when using Lollipop compared to Kit Kat any comment?

The key combination in recovery mode doesn't work, the factory reset from settings works, is this a bug?

Wow, these lags are not present in the Brazil Soak Test version. Glad I didn't rush after the Indian 5.0.2 Soak test.

@cygery Your data toggle app is #1 nothing has ever worked for toggling data before, now I've set it up with tasker perfectly, you da real MVP

i received the soak test for 5.0.2 and i have no problems with stutters, even doing the things you stated above. (XT1064)

Received 5.0.2 from soak test.
Was first upgraded to 5.0 then 9mb update to 5.0.1 and then 39mb update to 5.0.2
No lags whatsoever!

I am using the 5.0.2 22.21.28 final update on my XT1063 and all the things that you said is real, the lag is AWFUL, the animation lag, when you pull down the notification bar the animation just not play well, it seems to stutter, its really annoying, i wish i could back to KK, but i cannot downgrade anymore because i updated via OTA, people are really excited for lollipop in this forum (because, well, 90% of the threads in general section is about lollipop), I feel sad for them.

well, you can update if animations stuttering at some points after you start to do multitasking don't bother you, the system is pretty usable, but these animations lag is a killer for me, because material design its supposed to be more fluid than holo, and its not (at least on this device), but there's no lag for open apps and so on.

What really good about lollipop [Not talking about appearance] ?

I flashed official lollipop i didn't any new feature

Lollipop is all about the appearance.
I'm using TW Lollipop about a month and I don't see much difference in functions. But the battery lifetime is much better also much smoother and faster.

False.
Lollipop comes with a whole bunch of improvements to the system overall.
What I liked the most is the new ART system. It's blazing fast and stability is incredible. I would say that the new way of handeling software overall seems to be a lot better on L rather than on KK. You have a whole new system for the notification system as well, you have complete control of what apps are allowed to give you notifications or not. Security is improved as well. There's tons of changes under the hood, less experienced users may not notice these but it's a huge improvement of Android.

With TW rom no multi dpi...custom kernel.....

The whole point of Lollipop is the Material Design.
Which, if you hate white, is not an improvement. And with Xposed not working on ART, there's not a bloody thing I can do about solving that, quite literal, cause of migraines.
But it's fast, lighter and easy on the battery life.
You also get more control over your lockscreen notifications (turn then off individually), but you sacrifice lockscreen widgets completely as a result. You can, however, use the controls in the notifications (like LUX) from the lockscreen without swiping down the bar.
(I own an S5 running on official PHN 5.0)

As said above, the runtime change from Dalvik to ART is the biggest advantage of Lollipop over KitKat. Apps should consume less RAM, should be smoother (I have no idea whether that will be placebo or not), so less micro stuttering shall we say?
And appearance is there as usual, which I simply favour, I mean white vs black, all the gaga, personal choice, and you are not interested to know that anyway.
PS: I think Xposed just became compatible for Lollipop. Don't take my word for that though, just saw a tweet from Wanam, well he can't be wrong, but have no time to check in the matter further, but if that's true then I am simply flashing L as soon as its officially released. Incompatibility of Xposed was the biggest gripe of mine to not use L, and with its gone, well all is gooooooooooooooooood

Wallpaper on both home and lock screen
What i’ve noticed with this official Russian lollipop firmware on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is that when i want to set a specific wallpaper (i mean when i go to gallery then choose a picture) both on lock screen and home screen then why are there two same options “Home and lock screens”? With the option first i can set wallpaper when there’s only a person on picture but when there are two people then it won’t let me to tap to face and save it. Option two is working fine, no problem at all. Thanks in advance for those who’ll answer me!
P.s.: If i wrote to wrong thread then i'm sorry but still hope there'll be someone who can answer me

5.1.1 Existence has been leaked, what do we want?

So 5.1.1 was leaked on a Google Dev page today (Source)
What would we want to see in this Lollipop update for the N6 seeming we know nothing about whats coming?
Me personally? A bit better battery life (I think the second .1 indicates new kernel?) and to clean up some of the bugs.

probably nothing beneficial for the N6... looks like it's only going to be for the N7 and N9... much like the 5.0.2 release was never "official" for the N6.

If its truly LMY47S, then it is not really 5.1.1.
That has the same build date code as 5.1.

I want faster responding sensors. Auto dimming, proximity sensor for phone calls sped up. Damn thing takes forever! As does auto rotate.

Want a rocketship for blasting off to Mars! Seems my Nexus6 has about everything else!

I'd like my battery to last over 9000 minutes of screen on time.

Three wishes, and none of them for an iPhone, M9, or S6.

Better battery optimization, improved camera and radio, and ability to switch to a dark Material theme.

Performance improvement for Camera, Dialer and occasional dropped frames in animations.

I would like google to unlock the notification led xD
Faster booting up and more options when shutting down.
Screen resolution options.
That's it for now, only had it for 2 days. Still learning about lollipop, I came from an galaxy s3.

Sexy wallpaper

- Notification lights back by default (non-rooted)
- (Better) hardware encryption for faster boot-up

Fix the carkit a2dp crashing when connected to a Bluetooth low energy device. I should not have to put my moto 360 in airplane mode every time I drive my car...

To you and others in this thread - You're on XDA and many of the feature requests are available in most custom ROMs. "I don't run rooted ROMs" or "I'd like those features to be in stock ROM" will probably be your reply, to which I will say, why are you commenting on a developer / Android customization forum?

Why would Google implement something that is unnecessary and could cause problems? There hasn't been any need to close apps for quite a few iterations of android (actually an understatement)

With all these 'new' versions I find it interesting that N7 seems to be the problem child they can't get right.

Well it's using a tegra chip. All other nexus are using Qualcomm chips. Minus the 9 which is also late to the party.

The N6 is already a great device. What would make it stand above the rest is for it to be natively as smooth and lag free as the N5 is and to add some minor battery life improvements.

thoughts on nougat Update????

So what're your thoughts on nougat so far for the s7 edge?

Bugs I've reported.
I've found 2 devices that the bluetooth profiles aren't correct, but worked in Marshmallow.
Bluetooth itself will sometimes just stop. flipping to airplane mode and back fixes.
My Knox stuff all janked up.
Some knox based apps think older version installed and wont work.
Downloading apps from Play store or Samsung store causes user interface lag during the install.
I've had 2 occasions where items in accessibility service that were ON reset to off.
No themes in store. Themes that you had installed before somewhat stay enabled but a few graphical items where apps have changed.
VR stuff was listed in FAQ as not functional. FAQ is correct.
Every now and then, maybe once a day, I've had the Google Play Services has stopped, hasn't affected anything.

well i managed to force close nougat on my S7 doing some heavy multi tasking and video at the same time ...locked it up and forced a restart , then had to hard shut down 2 times to even be able to get back in without it locking up on me

Everything is wokring OK for me so far. My Instagram videos don't seem to load all the time but other then that is been solid. I'm going to continue testing other apps and will update. Battery life is pretty good but I haven't tried it outside of the house.

Yeah, it's pretty much instantaneous now.

My thoughts on the update.... I Love it. Not a single issue. Super fast. No app FC, battery is amazing now. If the Verizon N is runnin this good on ATT, cant wait til the real update!!

Today's miniupdate fixed the Google play services closes. Not sure what else. It wasn't very big. 59Mb.

Hey is anyone else notification bar tweaking out

I freaking love nougat... my battery is great....i have no issues...no systemui problem...no mms sms or call issues. I disabled all of Verizon bloat..so it looks pretty slim. ...LTE is great here in nashville. No Wi-Fi calling..but I could careless about that. It's smooth and stable. No overheating. I keep forgetting I'm on T-MOBILE and this is a ported firmware. I think this will be my daily driver from here until S8 Edge comes out. I use adgaurd to block ads and for the first time.... I don't care about having root access. This is the best!

I missed the beta so messing with verizon update.
Overall not to impressed at this point. If I had the actual TMo Beta it might be different, but I am assuming they are mostly set up the same way.
Antutu scores only in the 60's. O course I don't have the new LTE+ TMo modem, so downloads not very fast.
Up to 89,000 second time - a little below where I was with Echoe

I'm on T-Mobile - this Beta is running great. Just a couple small issues, Facebook force closes, some alert sounds ring on and on, other than that - excellent so far
