last google app update made my n5x fly! - Nexus 5X General

Hey there,
Just to let you know that I updated the "google app" today from Playstore to the last version. I'm on stock factory Oreo Feb. +ElementalX kernel.
I was a bit upset by the overall performances of my phone compared to my beloved n5. There were some ****ty lag between every app I opened and the actual moment when I could use the app (for example, opening WhatsApp, get the green top bar and had to wait 1 to 2s to get the message list)
Since the update, all gone, the phone is literraly flying.
I've noticed that the cores are also switching frequency way faster. I think something wasn't right before and some process were using way too much ressource.
I'm not here to brag (I didn't do **** ^^) but I would like to know if it's the same for other users.
Have nice day! Mine will be awesome
Gruß,
H.

What do you mean you updated the Google app? You mean the early February update? If yes, I actually find that my 5x is performing even more finicky than with the January update. The December update was the best of them all. Hope the March update will rectify the situation.

Hi, nope, I was on the februar update, and got an update from Playstore for the "google" app. This made my n5x really really faster

Nice. Hope it's a new update and not the one that some people have gotten.

Sweet!!! Thanks for the news. I wonder what updates will be made to the camera.
Giu didn't mention a source or anything. Just "that we received word" so I am still a little cynical at this point.

Multiple sources makes it seem more legit to me.
this is great news well its not what we expected to be 5.1 update but its something im glad alcatel has actually listened to us especially through that Email that was sent last month hopefully in mind they should release the source code soon or someone to capture the OTA and extract it

As mentioned in the root or update thread, the OTA updates contain only patches to the binary code and not full source. It'll have to come from Alcatel.
well they sure are taking their sweet time pushing it out, its not hitting mine yet.
how many possible users could they be going out to afterall? its not like this phone went mainstream...

It's slowly making its way mainstream. It should release this week. I hope it's not one of those updates that break something when trying to do good.
Already had the update last week and the performance is much better now!
Looks like an update is rolling out right now, dated today the 13th....still 5.0.2 unfortunately
Yup - installing right now. Still 5.0.2 ..
Installing right now
After the update try to clear all all opening apps, you will mention that it's without any lag or stutter

I am not sure if it is just me - but at least this part is NOT fixed. clearing open apps still has the same stutter that it had before. I restored the animation scale back to 1x and that has not changed anything. Maybe that is how it is supposed to be.
The app launching appears to have improved *slightly* . Whether double tap is more reliable remains to be seen. The update did not reset my launcher setting i.e. it did not revert to the stock launcher .
Overall - so far , I am not seeing anything worth getting too excited about - Not so far at least.
BTW - just to confirm - I now have Android version = 5.0.2 Kernel version = 3.10.49 Build number = 7SQR-UER0

Same here, not too much difference noted with this update. Anyone know if Alcatel includes a changelog someplace with these updates?
I feel differently. This update, so far, is great. The lag I had previously is nearly gone and installing apps is much much faster. DTTW has worked everytime (only tried about 7-8 times so far) unlike previously when it hardly ever worked. I don't notice anything different on the camera but I've only played with it for a short period. I've not used this phone as a daily driver since I got it in May because of the user experience, it just lagged and I hate lag - especially compared to my LG G2. Today however, I put my sim card in and will give it a true test, being the daily driver.
I was going to return it initially but held onto it waiting for an update and glad I did. I simply couldn't understand why this phone was not at least as fast (or faster) than my LG G Pro Or HTC One M7 since both of them are running the Snapdragon 600 (vs 615) and slower GPU. Plus both are also running pretty heavy skins yet both were way faster/smoother than the Idol 3. It had to be software and optimization which seems to be what this update addresses. The screen and speakers on this phone are to die for and I'm glad it's now able to be used effectively. I may think differently in a day or so after a real world test but for now I'm excited about this little guy.
I just got the update this morning, and my initial reaction is pretty good. The phone just feels snappier overall. The notification shade seems to come down very smooth all the time now. Previously, when the keyboard was open, the notification shade would drop a lot of frames when you pulled it down. The camera seems to be doing a better job of getting the correct point of focus too. Also, double tap to wake actually works now! This is huge for me because it only worked about once out of ten tries for me before. I'm happy.
Edit: I'm also seeing about 1.5GB of extra free storage. I wonder if the phone wasn't properly moving apps to the sd card before. I have about 12 games installed, and I have them all moved to the sd card.

Looks like you guys had the update we got last week in europe. It runs much better , cleaning apps doesn't lag anymore and everything runs smoother.
For the people still having problems can you confirm you're in 5.0.2-010 03 ?

Android 5.1 Lollipop OTA released for Tegra Note 7

Just saw on Twitter that NVIDIA has announced the release of Android 5.1 for Tegra Note 7 and Shield Portable.
https://twitter.com/nvidiashield/status/624279523572498434
I'm not seeing it, but am currently rooted.
Anyone have the zip?
cant see it either...
it got available for the shield portable devices. i read that news on androidpolice.com
but didn't know that nvidia said it is available for our TN7 (which isn't true for the moment). maybe it needs a few days to roll out to every one.
Just got it on my tegra note 7, installing now
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
i just got mine it in the UK this morning to. Currently rebooting after installing, hanging on the spinning green circle as it probably converts everything to ART.
I have also received it here in India. Captured the OTA as well. It is tegra_note_7_system_update_3.0__5.1.zip file size 446 MB.
here is the ota update just in case someone needs it Android 5.1 ota update

Seriously, I'm disappointed too. We waited months for it and now it lacks it's charm.
Some people are saying that it's faster than before and even high-end games are not lagging even a bit.
I didn't try any game like that yet, but it still feels a bit laggy anyway.
Plus, the thing I miss the most is the split system of notifications on the left, and quick setting on right. And we can't change performance settings like before such as to use 2-cores. My quick settings widget is not working either.
I just updated, and I'm already missing my 'old tablet'.

Thanks for that. That's one problem less.
Man i used to love this tablet a lot! It's a bit ruined now.
I still think NVIDIA should release smaller updates to better the layout and options. The notification bar is so narrow, it feels like I'm using my phone. Though, I don't have high hopes given how much time it took for this update. :fingers-crossed:
just a heads up System boot and recovery images have been pulled and test for Lollipop and uploaded to server. Now to work on updating the super tool to version 3.0 Lollipop

I feel exactly the same
this update is a joke, now the tablet feels like a cheap **** with crappy graphics chip.. why the hell did they released if its gonna lag so badly ? if they said this update dont come because of this then i would be ok... now games that didnt lag before like clash of clans lags.. its like micro freeze what the hel lis this nonsense ? do i have to buy a new tablet now ? and i have a weird battery bug, it goes from 100% backwards to like 97% and below even if it says its charging with cable in....
Some improvements are there

The stylus recognition has improved immeasurably ,and thats the only positive thing that i can say about the update.
I'm going to try clearing out all the app caches or reinstall my apps. This is so much slower than before, and it commonly freezes up for a few seconds...especially when switching apps.
Before, we could control our processor to save battery by reducing the number of cores used. That option is gone completely.
I see no noticeable upside to the lollipop update.

Neat app but aside from the fact it's non native, its just too many steps to enable what I want. So I won't end up using it.

Before everyone trashes this update, someone should try a full factory reset... I've fixed many issues with previous updates by doing this, and with an update this big, I'd suspect it could help.

I got a zv9 update this morning.

Update came on my girlfriends boost mobile stylo. Im gonna update and report back.
I did the update. It seems to be a major stability update as well as an update to the security patch level as far as I can tell. Everything seems to run a ton smoother and the default homescreen dpesn't reload as often. When it does reload the home screen, it's a lot faster than it was before. I'm going to take a quick guess that they fixed some possible memory leaks? I'm not sure. My battery also seems to last hella long now. If other users can confirm that I'm not running placebo, that would be nice.

Problem with certain apps crashing such as Spotify after update to android Oreo 8.0

Hi, I really want to know that are there any P10+ users facing the same problem as me.
Few weeks ago. Around mid march 2018, finally the long awaited android oreo 8.0 came to my p10+. I was so happy. However, after the update. I realised the upside is the battery life. Other than that. I've notice some bugs and inconsistency. For example the most prominent one for me is that the Spotify app keep crashing. It is really annoying. I mean it's a good phone. I just don't understand why 8.0 is so bad and not properly optimised for p10+. When it was 7.0 its fine. Please give me some feedback. Thanks

Hi.I'm not experinced (yet) any issues with Oreo on my P10 Plus,i got the latest update B365 that i starting this month,i'm using Spotify Premium and i don't find any issues.You're using the original apk from PlayStore?Cause i had issues when Spotify has not yet on my country available.My battery life it's now better since i update to Oreo,i got 70% for example now and used by 10 h almost,2 hours on LTE connected by Spotify.I suggest update your phone and see after if it's something from the software or perhaps the phone.
I have the same issue. I don't know if its updated, but since April and May camera, Google map, gallery, Facebook, Instagram will just freeze. I just restart the phone. That's only temporary fix, any solutions....

8.1 update rolling out!

So about 1,1 GB update is available for us. What is your opinion on the update? Did it fix all of your issues or brought you way more issues?
The hissing sound is finally gone, I can't see any bug right there (someone faced the uncertified bug, but for me isn't here, maybe try to reboot), I'll see if the battery now isn't draining too much like in May update
If hissing is fixed, can anyone extract necessary audio related files?
Under phone info there is a (prerelease) kernel, dunno why
There's now Gestures under system settings!

my phone got snappier after update, but fingerprint scanner got a bit slower.
My phone certainly felt slower after the 8.1 update.
I did not encounter the SMS message bug but some hours after the update I lost WiFi connection altogether (could not enable WiFi, mac address 2:0:0:0... I had no choice but to reflash from stock image. After the reflash I'm still at 8.0, as the reflash phone is not seeing the 8.1 update yet.
FYI I use Magisk and Franco kernel app. When the 8.1 update is available for my phone again I'm going to take more time with backup and checking that there are no compatibility issues.
Hey guys, I'm still on that first may update. didn't even update the 2nd one of may that was 58mbs. Everyone keeps saying that it lowers the volume of the speaker. Is that true?? and does the June update fixes that or just keeps it lowered?

Wifi MAC address problem ìs not from stock 8.1 but from incompatible kernel (like FK for now).
A pretty decent update in my case. Didn't encounter any bugs or issues so far, only that phone was really slow after first boot but after maybe 10 minutes or so it started working as fast as 8.0.
I like how the colors are now changing according to the dominant color of the wallpaper, but tinting on lockscreen or under notifications in that same color is a little bit weird... but I'll probably get used to it.

8.1 update, lost all stored sms messages and SafetyNet check fails... Everything is stock and has aleays been stock so this is Xiaomi's fault
Xiaomi pulled the 8.1 update and its no longer available so we should wait until they release a bug-free version of it.
Did this fix the scroll lag?
Xiaomi pulled back the update. Those updated should receive an incremental update to fix bugs.
You had one job, and for how many times Xiaomi is pulling updates after they release is to their devices, in this case, to Mi A1?
Really, we are talking about the Android One device, and only one device that is out there on the market.
And for the love of God, this is 8.1 update, nothing major.
Looking forward what they will do with the 9.0 update and how long we will wait for it.
Luckily, on my dad´s Mi A1, it is still 8.0 and february security patch, I was waiting for this update to install on his phone but this happens. Also I don´t know if it is true about the audio, it is lowered after some updates after may month I think. I don´t know if everyone is affected or not.
