Sudden lag after cm13 update? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello wonderful tech experts! I was wondering if you might be able to help me with something. Since I have updated my nexus 4 to the nightly cm from a week ago it has seemed to slow down the image loading. It loads the image once it appears decently well, but no images below the screen will load beforehand. It also appears to take longer for my apps to load. I am an avid tumble user and this lag is quite annoying on that app specifically. Any idea what the problem could be? Thank you very much for your assistance in advance.

static lines/ glitching

Anyone else had any graphic glitching?
i was using inparisv4 i have been getting the odd little graphical glitch,
At first its just a small; a flash here and there, but recently the entire screen has be glitching for about 30 seconds at a time (Full on like a no signal telly)
Searched in the forum, and a few people had the prob when flashing the touchwiz interface. they solved it by flashing to samsung ota and then back again.
I tried that i thought it was fixed but a noticed small glitches just once.
Anybody know whats causing it?
I am really freaked
Screen Glitching
I had a new "re-furbed" tab that within the first 30min of use exhibited this. Then the screen went dark and it never booted again. I believe that this is hardware related, and from what I could tell from my research, it happens on stock as well as rooted tabs. I sent mine back to get another "new" one, and hope that I do not have this problem again as the tab is exactly what I was looking for.

[Q] Nexus 4 Freeze and Crash

Hi All,
I'm currently experiencing a problem, that I know has popped up on this forum a couple of times, but not for the Nexus 4 specifically.(As far as I know....)
The problem appears to be random freezes, where the device just stops, screen freezes, no hardware or software buttons respond, and requires the power button to be held down for a few seconds to restart... It happens once or twice a day, at random intervals, mainly when i'm at the home screen or just browsing Chrome (Beta).... My Nexus is running the latest Nightly of CyanogenMod 10.1, build 20130529, although this was happening on the RC1 build too... Also running the latest franco.kernel 3.4.0 and Clockwork Recovery. Haven't partitioned, restored any backups etc as of yet. I also have about 230 apps, so if it could be software related, there's i high chance one of those has got something to do with it!
A suggestion or solution that doesn't involve fiddling around with ROMs, kernels and other stuff would be great, i'm not much good at that sort of thing and don't allocate much time to fiddling about with my phone, but nevertheless if required i could give it a shot....
Thanks,

Video playing issues ever since Lollipop.

Hi, I'm new to these forums, and I'll be glad if someone could help me.
I have a Nexus 4, which has served me well for a long time. I'm not in a financial position to upgrade and I feel that the phone is still fast enough for my needs. However, I have been experiencing a very annoying issue ever since I upgraded to Lollipop back last year. The phone is currently up to date and was running a custom rom before i reverted to stock to upgrade to lollipop.
The issue is that after a while, the phone will just stop loading videos (on YouTube/Vine/Twitter). This wont be fixed until I reboot the phone. This happens almost every day and is extremely annoying. Changing from AwesomePlayer instead of NuPlayer in dev options also doesn't help. I've performed a factory reset, to no avail. Clearing cache also didn't help.
I don't know what to do any more. Any help would be appreciated.

Pure Nexus 6 slowing down - ROM alternatives?

Hi, I recently had to reset my Nexus 4 and took the opportunity to try a custom ROM.
I chose Pure Nexus 6.0.1 and I like it, but I have a very annoying issue: when I do not reboot my phone for a few days (can be 1 days, can be 3 days) it starts getting sluggish, until it freezes - generally the moment when I open a more intensive app like a car navigation app.
If I reboot it everything works fine and smooth for a while.
I never had this problem before with official ROMs, and I'm using the same apps as always.
Is there a solution to this, or maybe can anyone suggest a different ROM?
I need a ROM which is complete and 100% stable, and I do not have the time to do much testing myself...
I do not care if it is bleeding edge, Marshmallow is enough , but I really do not want to get crazy with bluetooth or wifi issues, crashes, slowdowns...
Thank you very much for any pointers!

Anyone having issues using Snapchat

Hello everyone, I did some searching on what I'm going to ask but it seems as though all I've read were due to rooting and pertained to logins.
I have a new Moto XPE running the stock Sept. 1st Patch. I can log into Snapchat just fine, my issue lies after I'm using the app. Messages won't load in Snapchat and stories become stock on loading as well. On some Snapchat stories that are loading, after looking at a few images, the screen goes black and is again stuck on loading. Eventually the app crashes and sometimes the phone will crash as well to the point where other apps like YouTube just won't open up and the phone will either reboot on its own or require one from myself manually. Has anyone with a Moto XPE or Moto X Play experienced any of the issues I've described?
Thank you.
Holy crap, I thought it was just me, or that I was just going crazy.
Weird thing is I only started noticing any problems at all when I flashed from stock to a few of the various Nougat builds (CM14, then AICP, back & forth a couple times, then RR) which all have camera driver issues. I noticed half the time the camera wouldn't load upon starting snapchat, or if it did, it would take ~10 full seconds to change from the blank black screen, and sometimes if I would flip it to the front camera or vice versa, it'd just hang indefinitely.
That's the primary reason I switched back to stock a few days ago - I use snapchat A LOT and nougat just doesn't have enough cool features to justify one of my most-used apps basically being crippled to the point of not working the majority of the time. But once I restored my stock backup (not the September security update, the one before it) the camera started up fine in SC but I started getting EXACTLY all the problems you described.
The general consensus seems to be that SC is a super poorly-coded app on Android to begin with, but this must be a recent thing as it makes it downright unusable. I'm actually in the process of going back to 7.1.1 because that still works better than what the app's been doing lately. I wonder if it's happening on devices other than the MXPE?

It happened on my BlackBerry Priv too. I just switched over from that device a few days ago
I'm on stock 6.0.1 and I don't have any big issues with snapchat, the only one is that sometimes camera is very dark at start and I have to go to messages and back to camera to fix that

Yeah same here, it can get a little laggy sometimes for me but I just log out and back in and it works fine.
This might not be here nor there for this specific issue, but if you use Xposed/Snapprefs/rooted etc etc...One thing I noticed that REALLY causes a lot of lag with snapchat is overlays. Especially the FB Messenger app. If you have those chat heads on your screen with Snapchat open as well, things are basically unusable until you get back to the home screen and force close both apps. Could be happening without Xposed as well. Just a thought.
On a side note about Snapchat in general- it has always run like crap on every phone I've owned.
Snapchat kept screwing up, even tried the beta. Decided to try Casper and so far it's working great
