I just tried to restore my Honeycomb backup to be on a more "complete" ROM until ICS is more complete, but found I could NOT stand the lag. Latest EOS nightly is leaps and bounds better than honeycomb. Maybe its my Gnex that makes my honeycomb Xoom feel slow.
[Xoom General] stonefeet:
Even this beta release of ics has made me love the Xoom, I liked it with honeycomb but its a whole new level with ics
[Xoom General] jaymode:
The Xoom feels like a brand new tablet with Ice Cream Sandwich. It definitely makes me happier than my experiences with Honeycomb and the browser.
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
This ^

Although I don't think ICS is finished for tablets.

A lot of the swipe gestures that you think will work don't

And the UI is a different experience each app
[Xoom General] brianmoriarty:
Can anyone tell me if battery life improved at all on is? Not that its bad, now, I'm just curious and I use the camera so I don't want to put it on my xoom yet
[Xoom General] Farking Bastage:
I have noticed that the keyboard lag in Javascript forms is gone in ICS
[Xoom General] apollyon0810:
The only ICS build I had bad battery life with was one of the first straight AOSP ones to show up here on XDA. Been using EOS nightlies for a week or so now and have been getting the same great battery life I've always gotten from my Xoom.
[Xoom General] Farking Bastage:
No battery issues here either. As of Nightly build 17, it will not connect to a wireless AP with a hidden SSID.
[Xoom General] iNdioNicarao:
I had this issue with Tiamat ROM so not sure if it is ICS...:confused:
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
This is an Android thing.

The problem with having hidden SSIDs in your known network list is that you have to query to see if the network is there every single time you scan, which sucks down battery like a pig. The Google engineers decided early on not to support hidden for this reason.

All arguments about whether it's a valid means of securing a network aside, you can hack it in by modifying the supplicant conf, but it will impact battery.
[Xoom General] Farking Bastage:
Oh if it was something I set up it would be Mac filtered. :) I didn't have trouble with that particular network with the tiamat ROM, but oh well. This is still miles ahead of honeycomb.
[Xoom General] scott.deagan:
ICS is not 'consistently smooth throughout'. This video of the new HTC One X quad-core ICS handset says it all:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWC4l2EsGSU&t=6m58s

Google believe more CPU cores will eventually solve the problem. My question to Google: How many cores will it take before the Android user experience is consistently smooth throughout? How many???
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I don't think the problem is number of CPU cores so much as that most developers haven't even begun to use strict mode to get rid of all the naughty habits that cause stutter.

Some of the worst offenders for stutter are poorly written widgets, in my experience. OEMs having some of the worst track record for widget best practices.
[Xoom General] TimmSpinn:
I'm non-rooted/stock, and WiFi only... got the ICS update on my Xoom, and it is considerably smoother than Honeycomb. It's so smooth and stable, I feel no need to root! I know, I know, folks here on XDA will laugh at me for staying stock, but why mess with a good thing? I've rooted my EVO, G-tablet, and several friends phones, so I've got the know-how. I just see no reason if this thing keeps working as flawless as it is with ICS! The Xoom has been the best Android experience so far, without question.
[Xoom General] ghodzilla5150:
I agree. I have a WiFi Xoom (GED) @ Stock and ICS is alot smoother than HC. ICS has made my Xoom more enjoyable. I have no need to Root as it works fine for me. Just like you I know how to Root as I had a OG EVO & Rooted it and put many ROM's on it.

I would say my BB Playbook is a little smoother than my Xoom since OS 2.0 came out. I like QNX more than Android & iOS. QNX multitasks like no other Tablet OS.
[Xoom General] dizzy33:
I can't wait ICS to be available in Europe ... So many months to wait ! But I don't want to change the ROM of my Xoom.

What is very surprising me with Honeycomb, is that some apps are very smooth (as smooth as on the ipad) and some other are so horribly laggy that I just can't use these softwares, and I am very sensible to the applications smoothness... Android developpers never follow the same rules for programming, and I think unfortunatly ICS will not change anything about this.

That's my only disappointment about Android (I am discovering it since one month).
[Xoom General] K1ngLouie:
1. I never use my Xoom in portrait mode so I don't know.

2. Scrolling and pinch to zoom in stock browser is now in the same class as Ipad.

3. Scrolling between homescreens is smooth, but I think it was smooth with HC as well. The app drawer can occasionally stutter but this is minor.

Overall ICS is a big improvement over HC and surpasses iOS for the first time in both functionality and design. You just gotta love the new Roboto font! :D
[Xoom General] romdroid.:
Never ever experienced lag with my XOOM with ICS team EOS@ 1.0.0

[XPERIA X8 General] Lobialkon:
Hey there ppl! Merry Christmas btw!

I've been using gingerdx pretty much since its first release, and i really like it, but im starting to think that my phone is quite slow for launching apps, or when someone calls me, the phone starts to vibrate and like 5secs later the call screen appears, and when i want to slide the green mark its kinda laggy.

And i started to think that maybe the stock rom wasnt that slow and laggy as gingerdx is resulting to me...

So, as i used the stock rom for less than 4 days, then i started with froyo, and so on, i want to know if its smooter and faster than gdx, because im finding it quite slow lately...

Also, if the stock rom is like ****, i would like to know any other rom that you are using and you think that is smooth and fast, so i can give it a try, or maybe some advaices to make my phone faster!

Goodbye! Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X8 General] D E V I L:
i think froyo is best choice for x8
[XPERIA X8 General] kirmada:
try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363033

its a gb rom,but for me its really fast and i found no lags in it
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
Well, I can tell you my experience. I had been using GDX for a long time and I saw that multitasking wasn't something to brag of, you now. Music was stopping, web pages reloading and so on. Then I went back on stock. It isn't as bad as the majority of people say it is but still...after one week it started to p*ss me off. After that I installed FroyoBread which I'm currently on and I'm pretty satisfied. You should yry Froyo

Sent from my X8 that is soon going to be replaced with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus/S II
[XPERIA X8 General] Lobialkon:
No so long ago, i went back from gingerbread to froyobread, and still it wasnt THAT better than gingerbread, thats why i was asking primary for the stock rom, because i thought that sony would develop something properly for the phone's capacity...

Ill give a try to dx froyobread one more time.

Goodbye!
[XPERIA X8 General] maliceomalice:
Try the new froyopro..
[XPERIA X8 General] Xmaster8:
hmm gingercruzt 8.5 on nAa 08 kernel is very fast :) i m using it at the moment and its great :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Lobialkon:

[XPERIA X8 General] joe200:
Currently using stock rom.. i have no problems all my apps run smooth, battery ok. Im not a gamer on phone cause i feel upgrading only needed if i play games...
[XPERIA X8 General] Lobialkon:
Im not planning to play games further than fruit slice and angry birds, thats all... All i want is a smooth and fast loading phone, is that the best for stock rom?

Goodbye!
[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
Then you should Try 2.2 rom "FROYOPRO" But you have to modify it according to your needs like installing modules and google applications.

And for faster boot you have to change the bootanimation.zip with a lite one.

To downgrade to 1.32 juat download the 1.32 version RUU from filefactory.com/ device code ace.Run it on ur computer follow the instructions and u will be back to 1.32 but u wil loose all ur data. As for sense 3.5 There is no official update for that but some great devs out here hv made it possible for us to have not only sense 3.5 but sense 4.0. For tht u will need to root ur phone n download a custom rom from the development section and flash it in recovery. Now for root MARSDTA has already given u the name for the magic tool. P.s It really does do magic.

Look here:

so all i need to do is wipe cache and delvik, flash the nightly and wipe cache and delvik again, right??

No! lol you just wipe data and cache chose install zip from card and reboot thats it

if it stuck at CM7 Logo just take out battery and reboot and ur good :)

why do we have to wipe data? wont i lose everything? when i upgraded from RC1.5 to 7.1, i didnt wipe data..

okay i flashed the nightly u recommended...did it the way i normally do [wiped cache and delvik]..but i am facing an issue with it...the 2g mobile data [mobile internet] was working when i initially flash this update, but later it stopped working..wifi is working but 2g internet isnt..rebooted my handset quite a few times but didnt help me in any way..any idea what i can do..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monzer_:
Yea I had this problem too , try defy base band switcher which comes with rom already and chose which network suites you and try re-check the apn if they are correct, enable data background , if they did work at the first time so it must work again GL .

I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem connecting to 5Ghz networks on their GN.

I have an Airport Extreme Dual band base station and my phone can only connect to the 2.4Ghz band.

Using Wifi analyzer I can see my 5Ghz network but trying to connect to it does nothing, if I set the wifi mode to 5Ghz only in Settings->wifi->advanced my network doesn't show up at all.

Anyone else expercing a similar issue? This is on a GSM Nexus with the 4.0.2 Yakuju build.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
Galaxy Nexus only connects on channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 on the 5Ghz band. You need to go into your router settings and change it from whatever it is right now (typically auto) to one of the numbers I just listed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Taomyn:
Anyone know why this has been limited to so few channels?

I know there are various regulatory reasons but the phone should be choosing the ranges relevant to my locale which are far higher than what I seem to be getting.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keith7120:
No issues here with my 5Ghz router. I have a dual band router and it picks up both bands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I used to see my neighbors 5ghz network. It seems once I flashed the new Verizon baseband/radio that I can't anymore. I was standing above it and couldn't see it.

I'm thinking of buying one because houses are close together in my neighborhood and I can pick up dozens of networks. They all trample each other. My neighbor doesn't even use his.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edude03:
Yeah anyone know why it's limited like that? My router is on channel 157 (not sure why) and although I could change it I don't see why I would need to

Don't know how or why; just does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Waveblade:
I'm not having any problems connecting to 5 gHz frequency on the netgear 3400
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DooMMeeR:
that is wired

mine will only 36 40 44 48 and all >48 are not visible -.-

also whenever multichannel n is active the GN seems to fail to connect, since I can only select the main channel then and not the subchannels

the REGzone is set to EU but that does not seem to fix it at all

I wonder if anyone else besides you can confirm a connection on a channel other than 36 40 44 48
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frogskins:
You cannot compare channel numbers apples for apples when dealing with people from other countries. The channels might not line up. It might be more helpful if we talk actual frequency.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Taomyn:
Err...yes you can, that's why there's a standard and why it takes so long to get ratified around the world. Channel 36 is the same frequency anywhere the 5Ghz N standard is being used. Now what channels are allowed or not is definitely different per region.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Nope, no problem with 5ghz here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DLCPhoto:
Well, for what it's worth on my Cisco E4200 Router, Channel 161 is shown as 5.805GHz, and works fine with my SGNexus.

same problem here. G nexus, netgear router

CAn't connect to 5 GHz network :(

it used to work when i bought it 1 week ago.. don't know why it has stopped working.. I have tried to change rom and kernel but without luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
I have the same router and the only way I was able to get it to connect to 5Ghz over 2.4Ghz was giving the 2.4Ghz band a different SSID.

It would seem in certain configurations, the phone will prefer 2.4Ghz since the signal tends to be stronger.

Giving my two bands different SSIDs, I was able to connect to the 5Ghz band without issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kosit:
After Flashing AOKP ROM

I had a similar case but then I flash the AOKP Milestone 4 in (ICS 4.0.3), my wifi 5ghz only connects to my TimeCapsule on channel 153 (only) with the 5Ghz with the speed of 58Mb/s for 3 seconds and then dropped to 6Mb/s.

I also tried connecting on other channels and it doesn't connect....:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
anyone find a fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisinsocalif:
I am using a linksys E4200 on the 5 Ghz network, channel 149 with the channel width at 40 Mhz, WPA2 PSK.

You can try disabling your 2.4 ghz N radio only making it G, try different channels, security encryption and so on.

I would suggest the most recent router firmware. IF you already have the updated firmware on your router, maybe try reflashing. (be careful if you dont know what you are doing.)

When flashing your routers firmware, first do a hard reset. To do a "hard reset for a linksys router, hold the reset button with the power on, for 30 seconds, then while continuing to hold the reset button, unplug the linksys router, continuing to hold the red button in the back for 30 seconds, and while still holding it in, plug in the power again and keep holding the reset button for an additional 30 seconds. Holding down the reset-button while plugging in the router achieves a different goal than the thirty second reset.

After the hard reset, update/reflash your firmware. After the firmware update was successful, wait at least 5 minutesm then do another hard reset. Once that is done, do not restore your settings from a saved backup. set up the router again from scratch. You should always set up the router from scratch when you update the firmware to a newer version.

Some routers do not work correctly do to a corrupted or incorrectly setup router. Most common is using old configuration files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Taomyn:
I've now changed to a new FritzBox router which has automatically chosen higher channels just like the old E4200 and still my GNex now on 4.0.4 can't see it.

IMHO It's definitely a fault in Android.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
5 ghz works fine here but there are definitely issues because it sometimes doesn't work when my AP is in "auto" mode (setting the channel manually and such).

I currently use this and it works (GN has 4.0.4, GSM version):

Channel: 40 (5.2 ghz)

Channel width: 40 mhz (although the GN cannot use this fully)

Extension channel: upper

Network mode: 802.11n and 802.11a mixed

Frame burst: enabled

Preamble: long

This is dd-wrt (latest beta version). Beware with some routers because from my experience, wifi is really fragile. It took me a long time to get a usable setup.
