[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
No, it's been confirmed on other phones too. Even Galaxy Nexus users are experiencing it. The problem seems to lie in something that's not letting the phone sleep. If you break down the usage of Android OS, "Keep Awake" runs for WAY too long, which keeps the phone constantly awake and draining battery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
Yeah, I just noticed something, that might be relevant. Went into wi-fi settings. Options have changed a bit and so has default setting.

New options are like this................

Question asked is, "Keep wi-fi on during sleep".

On GB the default answer would have been no - only have wi-fi on when screen is on.

The other options are to have wi-fi on, "only when plugged in", or "never".

Mine was set to "always". First time I had been into this menu so looks like that is default, and that has got to burn the battery up. I've now set it to, "only when plugged in".

So, will see what difference it makes, and post back.

To Be Honest I'm Getting Better Battery Life Than When I Was On The Latest Kang.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroEchelon:
I thought this thread what asking the battery life from GB to ICS.

How can Galaxy Nexus users judge if their battery life is worse? Worse compared to what? They only had ICS to begin with.

Frankly, I've been using the ICS Alpha's for about two weeks and now been using the official OTA ROM for a few hours and it has been the same battery drain.

I have no opinion on ICS vs GB battery drain if that what this thread is asking.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlogic42:
Actually, I've read that WiFi uses much less power than a cellular network - because of the shorter range. So if you're constantly using background data, having WiFi enabled can actually make the battery last longer.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
LOL :D i like all of the poll choices...

now back on topic

i think what you guys are seeing is just the good old "new device effect" all over again

if you haven't notice everyone with a new phone always complain about battery problem

that's because it's so sweet you can't put it down, and you are constantly using it

since the screen eats up the more juice, you can hardly refill it fast enough ;)

it just the only difference in this case we don't have a new hardware but we do have a new OS, which makes it all sweet brand new renewed all over again :D

I would be very interested to see if google roll out a future update to maybe throttle back android os's use of battery because it is either a bug in ICS or else they have just lumped more processes under the android os title in the battery menu and that's why it is so high.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briggl:
I can confirm 'Android OS' has mostly more battery usage than sleep mode isnce ICS (ported versions or that one day OTA). Anyway i didn't use my phone today cuz i have left it home. But what can you say after one day.

Having problems with my Google Weather Widget auto-updating. I've got it set to update once every hour. Every now and then, when I turn my phone on, the widget displays "weather unavailable."

This doesn't happen with the Weatherbug widget, but I prefer the clean looks of Google's.

Anyone else having this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bisquick24:
+1, same here, sometimes I have to manually refresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grizzld:
Right -- failed to mention this in the original post. The widget immediately updates if you refresh manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I had the same problem with the genie widget on my N1 too. I don't think they have changed it. One work around I have found is to open the news and weather app.

Hopefully they update the app.

As soon as it loses data reception or GPS it loses all its data. Quite annoying as I like to turn the GPS off when i'm not using it... Can't seem to position itself from mobile reception like my previous phones

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamsungVibrant:
Has anyone else noticed the Galaxy Nexus lags a lot? I'm thinking about getting this phone but playing around with it yesterday somewhat changed my mind. There was noticeable lag doing simple things like swyping from one screen to the next, opening up messaging and using the keyboard, etc. The UI just lags a lot. This was on a static wallpaper.

Then I turned on a live wallpaper (aquarium from market) and the entire thing just went downhill, the lag got incredibly worse and cumbersome. This phone didn't feel any faster than my current Vibrant.

I was expecting the hardware acceleration to render this phone smooth as butter but it's not.

Lag on Android phones is really annoying, Google needs to change this.

What are your thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
i think playing at the store for five minutes with the phone, one cannot include its the phone that is lagging. I am certain there was an app on there that should not have been installed. Many apps out there are not compatible with ICS so it will take some time before they streamline them all on ICS. This is the price we pay for up to date tech. I had a rogue app resource hogging my phone and as soon as i removed it, my GN started working properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kekspernikai:
Mine is smooth. I know that people call their phones smooth but they are not iPhone smooth, but I can honestly say, for the first time on my life, that I have an incredibly smooth Android phone. All my iPhone-owning buddies agreed :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
With a static (black) wallpaper there is hardly ever any lag on my device.

Live wallpapers, esp. anything other than Phase Beam, add considerable lag when swiping through the desktops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKenAnthony:
Yeah I played with the one at verizon and it had every verizon app you could think of loaded on it.. after booting up the first minute was laggy but after that it was super fast..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Its really smooth. When Android revolution 2.1.1 releases that should address the lag. It should be out on the gsm phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gilbot:
Other than the landscape keyboard lag bug, this phone is smooth as butter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.D.M.:
No lag at all... super smooth...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
It is kinda laggy here and there, but i'm used to it. I dont get why its smooth when you swipe through home screens, but if you use the home button to take you back to the default home screen the framerate takes a dive. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
My last phone was a Vibrant. I know what lag is. My GN doesnt even come close to the lag that phone had when running a Samsung rom. Like others have said this phone is smooth as butter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
384 mhz teflon on teflon with ky jelly smooth here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ofaessler:
Since i have a static wallpaper it is very smooth most of the time with very few lags.

I read lot of people blame not updated apps for lagginess, but how can i know which of my apps cause lags while all installed apps work fine?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TabsAZ:
Turn off the Live Wallpaper on the store one - all the chop/lag goes away after you set a static one. This is also easily the smoothest browser I've ever seen on an Android phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beenyweenies:
Mine is buttery smooth. I can't help but wonder if the people having lag issues are using widgets or mods that are poorly optimized.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wiggz:
There is a slight issue that many seem to be having with GSM phones and the 4.0.2 update. My 4.0.1 was buttery smooth but now it seems to lag on app drawer and widget screen and elsewhere a bit. It seems that 4.0.2 is the culprit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flintfirewalker:
smoooothe

Nope, no lag whatsoever. I am using a live wallpaper (the weather one from Beautiful widgets). Still no lag. Opened 10 apps, kept using the recent app button to switch between them, went thru 4 diff sites on browser using bookmarks, went to txt msg, google+, calendar and back to home screen, no lags whatsoever.

I do have problems with overheating (and battery, but thats not problem, its just the way of life with 4g android phones), but lags, i left them behind with the iphone (YES, I SAID IPHONE). My experience with iphone 4 (when i first bought it) was smoothe but not this smoothe. After a year, the phone was as responsive as my penis right after sex.

Currently, my wife has the iphone 4s, and my gnex is as smoothe as the 4s, if not smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Tested about 3 different phones. All choppy.

HW Acc is only a part of the problem. Android wont ever be as smooth as iOs or Win7 until they rewrite from the ground up. It certainly is "smoother" than before but its crystal clear just swiping home screens and opening apps theres no consistency in FPS.

That said store demos are awful for android . Ive never seen a nice smooth store demo..bloat ware 101 widgets and 30 apps open will give you a bad impression. Galaxy Tab is awful in the stores. My tab is far smoother and much faster...but itll take a new launcher and custom ROM for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
wait for 4.0.3. That fixes a lot of the lag issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
It does lag alot :( but in 1-2 months everthing will be optimized for ICS and google might have pushed some updates too .. Im sure this phone will end up as smooth as the S2. And gingerbread is faster on my nexus s then ICS is. But just wait and see. Devs in this forum will make this phone the best. CyanogenMOD!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowhatch:
I dont know what the hell people do to the display devices in verizon stores but its unbelievable sometimes lol. When i was picking up my galaxy i went over to play with both xyboard tablets and i swear to god i couldnt get them to swipe from screen to screen without chocking up and freezing. I tried browsing... slow, jitterry, zero response from touchscreen to input at times. Horrendous. I even rebooted both devices and they were almost to the point of unusable. I remember thinking WTF could people have done to these brand new tablets to have them running this bad?! See stuff like that doesnt bother me, because i know how honeycomb is supposed to run, (as i have owned two honeycomb tablets, the transformer and gtab 10.1), but to the casual shopper they walk up to the android tabs poke a few times at the screen, see lag, see no response and then walk away and talk **** to their friends about how much of a POS android is.

So long story short, trying out devices at verizon has usually proved to be a less than stellar experience and not representative of individual user experience on said device (aka. without people somehow raping the devices in store). If i was a store manager i would walk around and actually care about end user experience from the display models and check to make sure my displays were functioning properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
yeah i notice lag when changing menu's & loading apps. also, when i switch viewing angles(portrait/landscape) it regularly 'stalls' for a few seconds before it switches.. sometimes i'll seem like it's taking forever and i'll get pissed and shake the phone(then it switches).

i've been hearing that the 4.0.3 resolves these issues. going to give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Tone:
4.0.1 was fine for me. 4.0.2 is absolutely horrible. Can't wait for 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamsungVibrant:
The poll results so far are very close

Poll results so far are very close. Wonder as more people get the phone how the results will change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Completely agree, it definitely lags a lot

I hope 4.0.3 can sort this

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelearth:
Does anybody have an idea of when 4.0.3 might be released for the LTE galaxy nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trdsnow:
I agree with the op. I played with the phone at the store and I noticed a lot of hesitation on the screen. I was shocked because it being the latest and greatest. You can't really say that its due to all of the apps installed because I played with the razr and the htc rezound, they were both smooth and loaded with bloatware.

The screen transitions just isn't as fluid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
The only thing that lags a lot for me is the camera app. It takes 3-5 seconds to load the app. Hope it will get better as updates come
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
the ONLY lag i see on my phone is pressing the home button to get back to the main page from other pages.

Not from app drawer to home page.

hopefully this can be fixed via updates later.

I have huge lags sometimes when I select a number from my contact list or recent call list to make a call. Sometimes it takes quite some time for the dialer to launch and make the call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikosrs4:
lags for me when I select an option in settings(data, more, sound, battery etc), no matter what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
I don't have a gnex but, strangely, all of the demo models I've played with at VZW stores have been quite smooth. It might just seem that way since I'm using a droid charge right now, heh.

I doubt that Android will ever have the seamless transitions and animations that iOS and WP7 have. ICS has definitely helped, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haproot:
4.0.3 definitely fixed it for me. The lag was driving me nuts. Now i can't get it to lag no matter how hard i try.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wiggz:
Hi,

I didn't think 4.0.3 was even out yet? Are we talking official GSM or CDMA ver?

I'm in the UK and flashed back to 4.0.1 because of the lag in 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haproot:
LTE version on verizon. I loaded bugless beast from rootzwiki. It is not an official ota. Also tried rootz boat which is also 4.0.3, same no lag at all.

Edit: I'm talking specifically about the landscape keyboard lag.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamo Nath:
I've been trying to write this post all week without it sounding "whiney" but I've given up now. It's not meant to be a whine so if it comes across that way please accept my apologies :)

I'm new to the wonders of flashing custom ROMs and I have a whole shed load of questions but the main ones are:

1. In general, how do I report force closures etc? For example, if an app crashes I get a prompt saying do I want to report it to MIUI, but what am I supposed to be sending them?

2. I switched from Brainmasters version of MIUI because I kept losing radio signal (only came back after rebooting) and am now using KelLMSKing MIUI but am wondering if I have a small bug with that now too (when I get certain notifications the backlight for the buttons comes on but never goes off till i switch the phone on to see the message). As I'm new here and am unable to post to the developer forum, how do I report these issues and/or seek the dev advice? I'd be interested in knowing if the backlight coming on is meant to happen and if so, can I disable it or time limit? Does it consume much power if it is staying on?

Thanks in advance for reading, Nathan
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ndmuni:
I have a problem unlike others, i m caught in a bootloop while flashing 2.3.6 from ICS Build 9 using odin, i had nothing better to do, serves me right, I can't go to recovery bcos my stupid ph is one of those that do not have the 3 button recovery.

After odin pass when i remove the usb it goes into installation but it says:

E: copy_dbdata_media:can't mount/dbdata. your storage not prepared.Please use menu for format and rebot actions.(I dun ve that option)

E:failed to mount/dbdata file exist

deleting file failed

updating failed

cache wipe failed

Applying multi csc. Installing multicsc

Can't access

Successfully applied multi csc

But the on reboot it goes into Samsung and bootanimation over n over

Any help appreciated Thanks!!

I ve also tried flashing other stock roms but the it does not reboot instead showing the connection between ph and pc sign. Thanks again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] O-T:
I thought everyone checked if 3 button recovery was working before taking a walk in the dark valley of flashaholics.

;)

Tapatalked - There's a Thanks button somewhere
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adslee:
Why didn't you flash something to enable the 3 button recovery before flashing anything else? Flashing without the 3 button recovery is just asking for a huge headache and even a brick. Now you may have to resort to making/buying a USB JIG to get into download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mawdo:
You need a 3 files ODIN rom , and before flashing make so you have PIT and repartitions , your problem is a minor problem ( because you don't repart the partitions, that's why it's bootlooping
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ndmuni:
After kies update i was able to go into download mode so that was why i was'nt too worried, my mistake was deleting the file of build 9 in the internal sd b4 i flashed the .6 otherwise when odin finished my phone was in recovery mode i could ve just install zip fr sd again. The problem that the state my ph is in i could not get anything into the sd not even fr pc. Only chance is tru odin, i suppose now i ve to look for firmware that i flash with repartition to wipe the files and data fr internal sd maybe that might do it.:mad::mad::mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adslee:
Ah ok, I thought you couldn't get into download mode, but it's always good to have recovery mode since I always found CWM pretty important
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ndmuni:
This is exactly what i m doing now, downloading couple but i m not too sure cos i ve not use odin on 3 files, fr what i read its just putting the pit file in pit and tar file in pda what is the other? if i extract n c than i'll kn if what i downloaded has 3 files.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] asicman:
When I messed my partition, I had to use ODIN. You will need four files:

1. PIT file

2. PDA

3. CSC

4. PHONE
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adslee:
Pit file goes to PIT, CODE file goes to PDA, MODEM file goes to PHONE, and CSC goes to CSC, and make sure Re-partition is checked
