Am I glad to people actually discussing on here rather than bashing.

The point of this thread was for me to find out if other people had thought the same thing I did in regards to overall speed of the phone. Did I say gnex sucks, or ICS sucks or that I hate the phone so much that I regret the purchase? No.

If I wanted to return the phone I would have done it long ago. I don't need to come on here to "bash" or ask for advice on whether I should return it.

Obviously I love the gnex. But would love to know why it is not as snappier as the RAZR. And what the reason could be. Is it because ICS is resource heavy? Or the hardware not completely optimized for ICS. Or is it because the software buttons (back, home, multitask) are a lot slower than the hardware ones.

It is a discussion. If you think that this post is bashing on your precious phone then don't read it and don't reply. Simple as that. We have the best phone in the world, most of us, including myself, waited forever for ICS, waited forever for the newest nexus and even watched amazing phones come and go while anxiously holding onto our upgrades and not giving in. And when it launched most of us purchased it the day it came out. Having endured all of that, at the end I feel as though the nexus hasn't made me 100% happy because of the speed..... :(

Mine is plenty fast. I don't care who believes me or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kjwalker:
Let's be honest here. The real reason you made this thread was to say, in more words, "Nahnah your phone is sloooww". After repeated attempts to help, you simply ignore them and backtrack, "help me find a rom", "I don't have time to try new roms". We get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Exactly. What disgusts me the most about it is that the OP is too lazy to look for the info himself, despite the fact that it's all right here in this forum, ready for him to use. But no, after telling us how bad the GN is in great detail, he wants us to spoon fed him the right information.

Helping people is fun, I am just a little choosy about whom I help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
WHY are we comparing a device that doesnt even have ICS yet with the first device to roll it???

This is true for most of the people that has a nexus. This may be quite selfish, but sometimes I just wish Google didn't release OTAs, and just made the source available.

@OP, by the time ICS is "finished", the nexus will be a different phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DROID_INC:
Take it from a guy who tried all of the roms out. For me personally what worked the best was the aokp rom b21 paired with the Franco kernel at 1350oc.

I currently use the aokp b25 due to more customization but I personally feel like the b21 was more stable and faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burner07:
my old galaxy s was faster than this pure google expirience... my old galaxy s 2 was the fastest... sorry but this is the truth on 4.0.3 its a bit faster yes but i am very dissapointed when the phone gets hot to 48degree it laggs like hell for example antutu cpu score from 1600 gets to 600-700
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Fixed that for ya.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wiggz:
OK I'm backing the general sentiment of the OP. I got my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) in the UK at the turn of the year and was happy with the performance. 4.0.2 OTA ruined it! End of.

Stutters when transitioning from app drawer to widgets drawer....general lag on some apps etc, that was not there on 4.0.1. I tried rooting, and flashing 4.0.2 stock again to see if it was something wrong with my OTA update....nada.

I'm sticking with it until the next OTA as this was one phone I didn't want to root and flash a new rom every 5 seconds, but I'm a bit annoyed that 4.0.2 caused the lag it did!

Before anyone comments that they have stock 4.0.2 and have no lag.....I'm over the moon for you...but a little search will show you MANY MANY posts from people who have stock 4.0.2 and do!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I saw more lag with 01 and than 02.

Download Nova Launcher, you'll see the difference.

Huge lag and touchscreen missing touches after 4.0.2 Ota... hoping next ota to fix these all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
The GN is not as fast as the Exynos GSII

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and it has AOKP build 25 with Fugomod kernel on it and this thing still is laggy. I tried many different roms and kernels and it still lags.

Some people say they have a buttery smooth Nexus and I'm jealous of you because mine feels like a 700mhz single core phone with 256mb of ram.

What's the deal? Why is it lagging (stock keyboard, browsing, app drawer, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Well i dont find my nexus slow. But yes ICS is significantly more resource intensive than GB. And its pushing more pixels too than most devices. We can see how much of our 1gb of ram is actually locked up for other use like graphics and OS. But i still dont see any speed issues personally. Updates can only improve things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
RAZR and Gnex has the same OMAP 4 SOC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph00ny:
I wouldn't call it a huge lag but mine has a few microstutters here and there

also my pattern lock input doesn't register sometimes but the phone unlocks few seconds after i've already unlocked the pattern
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
RAZR is omap 4430 overclocked.

Nexus is 4460 underclocked so....

Not literally the same, but same performance.

Hey Guys

I have the following problem:

I've maked a Backup of my current Rom to flash another rom

Now i want to go back to my old ROM with the backup

When i try to restore the backup comes this:

Checking MD5 sums...

Erasing boot before restore...

Restoring boot image...

Restoring system...

E:format_volume: no MTD partition "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25"

Error while formatting /system!

Can somebody help me??

Sorry for my bad english

Pce

Edit: I've found a solution

Can be closed

Argh! What was the soulution? I'm having the same problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayzer70:
I'm experiencing the same error as above,

Desire HD - Rooted, S Off.

ARHD 7.0.3 (backed up after flash)

Decided to try out a theme (two days after ARHD was installed) which I wasn't too keen and tried to recover the backup which lead to boot loops.

Flashed older versions of CWM (3.0.0.5) which shows the above error regarding MTD partition.

4ext shows: format_volume failed to unmount "/system"

Filesystem is yaffs2.img.

Currently using the dreadful stock 1.32 and can flash a new Rom if needed, I would prefer to restore the backup if possible.

Any response/help is gratefully received.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0mas_:
im GUESSING he flashed ruu.

have you used different recovery version from which the backup was made? if not, the backup might be corrupted, not much you can do i think.

from my experience with custom mtd part sizes from wildfire: when things get borked, it might help if you wipe everything, reflash recovery, wipe again and then try installing a rom.

another thing comes to mind, if i remember correctly, it is required by some roms to format your phone in ext4. compleatly unsure about this, search to verify. allso try superwipe script from arhd

and try ext4 recovery, i never had one problem with it

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krueger80:
Installing the ROM first

I had the same problem... I'm not much experimented with Android stuff,

What I did is just installing the original ROM that was used in my backup first... Then I tried restoring by backup and it worked!! So was it something I was supposed to do? I thought restoring a backup included everything.

Or maybe a reboot fixed it?!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Regelimus:
I hope this is the right sub-forum to open this thread if not please movie it.

Half an hour ago I Got the 9.4.2.15 firmware update from asus. after the update was applied my prime asked me if I want to turn it off....I approved and the device shut down and stayed off.I tried to turn it on and nothing happened.

When I applied the update I had more then 80% of the battery.

I plugged the phone to the charger and the charger light on the power button changed from orange to green

While the Prime was charging(and after it was fully charged) I tried to do some stuf

I tried to press the on button and nothing happened and no vibration.

I tried to hold the on button for about 30 seconds and the only thing that happened is that I got a vibration(the same you get when you turn on your device).

I tried to reset the device with the reset hole near the microsd with a needle and nothing happened.

I tried holding the power button and the volume button(once the up and the other time the down) and nothing happened except the vibration after about 10 seconds.

ANY IDEAS?

*my biggest problem is I purchased the Prime from "Amazon US" and I don't leave in the us...How If I need do I use my ASUS warranty.who do I connect?

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Try draining the battery completely then charging it back up. Then try to boot it up again. You might have a glitch or bug. Its always good after an update is applied to let it update then it reboots itself. After it loads back up,go into home screen. Then **** down device and cut back on. This will eliminate anything happening from rogue codes.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Regelimus:
Any Idea how do I drain the battery, The Prime has now 100% battery and I am unable to turn it on...the screen stays black?

Thanks.

Any more ideas?

*By the way I have the option to take the prime to a shop that could fix it, I am sure the problem is a software bug and not hardware...Should I try doing this because ship it to asus ans back will take about 3-4 weeks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ohwell:
Try a hard reset and if that doesnt work do a search for this (EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Regelimus:
I am unable to do "Hard reset" because the device do doesn't start, after pressing the power button nothing happens the screen stays black. the onle response I get from the device is vibration(after I hold the power button for about 10-12 seconds).

I don't think that "EP201_SDUPDATE.ZI" will help because I don't have accesses to my bootloader :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Did you happen to drop the device or bang it pretty hard? If so, could be a chance the connector to your display is loose and device is actually on but the screen is off. Best way to check this is to connect your prime to your t.v. thru HDMI. Then try to cut it on. If something displays on your t.v. but screen still won't cut on, then connector came loose from your display. That is the best way to check. Plus you could also operate tablet like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Regelimus:
Nope,didn't drop or hit it.

Unfortunately I don't have HDMI cable that connects to the prime.

your idea is good but even without the cable I am sure it's not the problem...but lets say that it is the problem...then if the device is actually on I should be able the hear the sound it makes when I use the volume buttons and when I receive new emails...the thing is I am unable to produce any sound from the device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chefdave12118:
I just applied my update and it didn't ask me if I wanted to power down, it did itself. Did you power down when it was starting to install?

My screen did say "power down" but I knew it would do it itself.

Maybe like doing a battery pull during a flash?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Regelimus:
Maybe you are right and for some reason I turned the device off while it was in the middle of the update... so 5hat means as you said that I interupted the flash process...in this case the problem is the software of the device ...could I do somthing to fix it without going with it to a lab?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jakpro:
You might try inserting a pin or a paperclip into the reset hole next to the micro SD port.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Regelimus:
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

I decided to try and fix my prime one last time before I use the warranty. so I took a needle SMALLER one then I used the first time I tried to "Hard reset" the prime and inserted it into the hole near the microSD port....and this time I felt a "click"...I pressed for about 10 seconds and then released and the screen turned on :)

I immediately got the screen withe the open green robot and with a blue line under it that showed me that the update was applied....then the screen changed to the screen you get when you turn on the device(asus symbol and tegra3 symbol) and again I got a blue line showing me that the update is going on.

After the blue line went foreword to 100% it disappeared from the screen and I was left with the screen you get when you turn on the device(asus symbol and tegra3 symbol).

I have waited for about 20 minutes and nothing happened....I turned off the device with the power button and then turned it on again(this time the device responded after 1-2 seconds)...I got a vibration and the screen was on(asus symbol and tegra3 symbol). :) after a few seconds the screen changed to another screen( another ASUS symbol with a turning circle under it) after about 8 seconds my device was fully working all my data was present(didn't reset with the needle should have deleted everything?) and my software number was 9.4.2.15,so the update was fully applied.

I tried turning on and off the device for a few times and had no problems with it.

So basically the device is working and I have no idea what was the problem :)

The tip i got for everyone trying to reset the device with a needle/paper clip....YOU HAVE TO FEEL THE CLICK :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chefdave12118:
that's awesome! Congrats!

These are expensive toys (in my case addiction). :)

Maybe it was a bad flash which can be really spooky if you're not rooted with a custom recovery.

So, as the title says, is it just me or are other people finding the thumbsticks weird too?

I find them to be really quite good for Order and Chaos, yet for quite a few onlive games (notably Dark Void and Kane & Lynch 2) they are really too sensitive? Changing the settings does quite little for this?

I don't know, maybe there's something I'm doing wrong or there's an app that's been created to control the sensitivity but if there is.. I haven't found it yet..

P.S. First post.. yay..!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
Gratz on first post.

Some programmers just know how to program their games better for them,

Some are just weirdos though, In example, if you try Modern Combat 2, then Modern Combat 3, The analog controls in 2 are superior, Even though gameloft made them both -.-

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyerin:
Hopefully onlive pulls their trousers up and sorts it out as most games on there really just require the thumbsticks. I guess I'll just wait it out until someone makes a program to control how sensitive they are or until developers realise that making them super sensitive or really unresponsive is stupid! I don't think games on the xperia play are tested very well before being marketed...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprecker:
Onlive isn't going to be great over a platform like a phone. They are the same games that are made for consoles or PC's then streamed over the net to your device. Expect alot of input lag on some games that require precision on the players side. It's not the developers it's the platform you have decided to play thier games on. It's not going to get any better unless bandwidth and throughput speed increase dramaticly or developers make games specificly for streaming over Onlive's service.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Actually.. Onlive has been doing a NICE job so far. I use it on my tablet it works great. However that said, I plan to buy the universal onlive controller so I can just BT use it on my android. Problem solved.
