[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shyguyhighfive:
Howdy hello,

I've been on my Nexus S since GB. Ever since I've rooted and been running custom ROMs. I've had some awesome experiences but some crappy ones at the same time, all of which I attributed to my phone running a custom ROM.

Now I've finally got the new, new stock JB on my device, and after running it for a few weeks, I'm a bit disappointed. The features are nice and all, but there are so many issues I face that make it near unusable. To name a few:

Google Now takes way too long to pull up. At least 5 seconds and even while it's loading the cards, it's very laggy. The search button used to be a quick way for me to search for something, but the is effectively ruined with this lag.

Constantly losing data / connectivity. I know this may be at the carrier level, but I've never had this much trouble. ALSO, in these cases, the phone will often be reporting that it has full bars / full 3g connectivity, so either way the phone is acting screwy. I mean seriously, the one thing I need my phone to do is make a damn phone call, yet it semi-frequently fails to do so.

Apps fail left and right. Today my youtube app crashed in the middle of the first video I pulled up on it. I know this isn't really the OS, but it's part of the stock experience, and I think android should be held responsible.

Just a few minor gripes. I'm just wondering: has anyone else experienced this? I did a full wipe before installing the stock JB rom, and I don't think it could just be root permissions making things go wacky. I may consider re-wiping and only installing a few apps, but I really don't have that much crap installed, so I'm not sure if that's the issue as well.

I saw another post recommending to get a new SIM card from AT&T. I have had mine for a few years, so that could be a possible fix for issue #2, but I don't think that's the entire reason.

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks a lot all.

Stock JB was very laggy on my NS for some reason. Even swipping pages in the home screen was laggy. Some apps would instantly crash, too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmorel4:
I've been running custom JB roms on my Nexus S, and its been running really well. The only thing is im experiencing the same lag that you do with Google Now. It has caused me to open my browser to do a search, which is disappointing, because in GB and ICS, the Google Search bar was so quick and convenient.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
The cards could be taking longer to load because of your flaky connectivity. Can't expect them to load instantly if your data/signal is dying all the time, can you? :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nothijngrad:
Definitely an inferior experience here on stock JB compared to ICS. Really hope Google fix this in an incremental update, as it's a bit silly their second-best phone can't run JB properly.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shyguyhighfive:
heh, that's a fair point. I'm not so upset with the cards taking a long time to load as I am that, while they are loading, the OS is very unstable. It's difficult for me to bring up the keyboard and search google while it's trying to load those cards. I can't believe it's not butter :(

My thoughts exactly :(. I was excited to get back on stock so I could have a functional phone without any added bells and whistles. New features are nice, but not at this price.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noizy1234:
Try running a custom kernel.. Try the thalamus kernel its very stockish and it's SUPER smooth..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonb255:
I'm running stock on at@t with a matrix kernel everything smooth for me
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvorak67:
I had problems with JB too. There were a few lags, especially with Google Now. Some apps would crash every time I tried to open them, and the launcher crashed every time I tried to change wall paper.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeldFire:
Hmm I can say that AOSP JB is WAYYYY better than ICS. Soon I can port my ROM from the NS4G to the NS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljordan2:
I have to agree with this. I've used stock JB when it was released, I was wowed by it's smoothness and cool animations. But everything felt a little slow and sluggish coming from ICS custom rom. After switching to Jellybro, JB feels both very fast and smooth. If you feel disappointed with JB, try using custom rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I don't know if you guys with problem tried that yet, but it might be a good idea to do a factory reset. You will lose all your data if not backed up but I'm getting a feeling it could help. JB has only been smoother than ICS for most.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got556:
Looking to get an NS soon, but it may help, as others have mentioned to run a custom kernel and bump up the clock speeds a bit.

My N1 is almost perfectly smooth (very little lag and often times none) with JB installed and overclocked.

My GNEX is smooth as butter. (As to be expected). But I guess what I'm saying is, if the N1 can run JB smooth, then the NS should not have any problems.

And while I know AOSP is technically designed to run on multiple devices, only two were in mind when JB was released....the N7 and the GNEX. Everything else is an afterthought in which AOSP may not be fully optimized for the hardware that is pushing it. (Just my opinion).

And another opinion while I'm on my soap box. JB is what ICS should have been.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerazha:
In my opinion 512 MB of RAM are a tight fit for Jelly Bean. I can just run 3-4 background apps without kill-restart-kill-restart-kill-restart and a constant lag.

I remember some kernels used to have compcache support. Maybe I could try to enable compcache/zram.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
I just got my GNex and the difference with JB on this phone is night and day. I didn't think it would be but I'm pleasantly surprised. But yeah. The RAM issue seems to be my biggest gripe with it on the NS. And for some reason, it just dominated my battery. I went through my first cycle on stock with Trinity and managed 3.5 hours of screen time over the course of almost 17 hours and still had a little under 50% remaining. My NS would've been dead long before that with the same usage pattern.....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logomotph:
I run stock JB with Matr1x. It works very very well.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

Not to mention it only uses 368 mb of them. If it used the full 512, it would be pretty nice
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ismailham:
I'm running Androxide 3.1 and used to run AdamG's custom ROM. Both ran great, no hiccups what so ever, Google now loads very fast, I guess it depends on your GPS and internet connection. My experience with JB is far better than the fastest ICS ROM out there, I believe given enough time, performance will become exceptional.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
That can be tweaked a bit with different kernels. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hinata75:
I am running XenonHD 9 + marmite 4.2 kernel. It's stable and smooth. Worth a try.

framework tool is stuck at "DOWNLOADING DATABASE" any idea?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Publiuss:
Hi

As I know Framework Tool downloads a "database of something" just once, be sure you're connected to a network.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gmp009:
But i tried framework tool on my stock ics for changing transitions effect to JB it gave me boot loop!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Publiuss:
Hi

Well... I don't know.

Personally I used it some releases ago (before the developer blocked some options :D) and since then I did'nt try it anymore.

If i'm not wrong, in the app there should are some security mechanism as backup or safe mode.

The best app I know for getting a diagnosis of a bootloop is "live logcat" by chainfire, try it and see your logs live.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
There is a post just a few posts above yours that says that app doesn't work with ICS..

That's fine;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ManthanRB:
There are several mods for ICS but i wonder why no one tried to

port Crt off animation to ICS:-/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jobayer:
yes, you are right. i think we should create a thread for requesting crt off animation
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ManthanRB:
I don't think anyone will notice it, there is already a thread so long.:rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jobayer:
so, no hope for us!!! :(

[HTC Sensation] Passi1909:
hey guys.

i have got a sensation xe, i bought it because of the headphones and the better battery. i thought, a better battery and underclocking the processor will give me a very good battery life. i bought it about 3 month ago.

but now, i have a very very bad battery life. no matters what rom or what kernel i am using, even undervoltage doesn't help. i wiped battery stats lots of times...

i'm on newest 3.33 firmware.

i really don't know, why battery life is so bad.

maybe my battery is bricked?! :(
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
do you have the stock HTC battery? whats the mAh of the battery when it is fully charged?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
You might want to try a long lasting battery like Anker! It's made a huge difference for me! Get the new battery and adjust your settings to optimize your battery life. You will see what a difference that will make! It works well for me!! Best of luck!
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Extended batterys are the way to go ! Ankers the best for its price :)

yes, i have stock sensation xe battery.

i think its 1780 mah

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeDCMDVA:
Hey guys, this did not happen at first, but today I have been experiencing some big issues with my phone.

I have been using the UVLK1 ICS based radio since I am an AT&T Galaxy Note user on the T-Mobile Network.

People have been calling me and my phone isn't ringing. I am getting Google Voice e-mails for voicemails they leave me but the phone never rang. I am at work where I always have gotten great service at all times. I rebooted the phone and it is still doing the same thing.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeDCMDVA:
Now I can't even make calls...the phone disconnects the call right after I tap the make call button...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeDCMDVA:
Now I flashed the Blaze 4G radio, doing the same thing. Can't receive calls and immediately disconnecting when trying to place calls.

Data isn't working either..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeDCMDVA:
Pulled the SIM card, put back in, problem solved. Weird!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikeDCMDVA:
It is doing it again! This morning it happened and I had to pull battery and SIM, reboot, it worked but shortly after stopped working...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] avantcs:
issues with TMobile radios on galaxy note

I have experienced similar problems as well, but not to the extent to where my phone doesn't work at all. Since TMobile sells the Note now, I'm sure someone will port the full ROM or at least the radio.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zefie:
i'm using the SGH-I727 with various T-Mobile radios and having the same issue, kinda. It will work for about 3-5 hours then stop. The signal meter still works, 2-3 bars in my area, even flucuates. However it will say (Searching) and nothing comes in or goes out. It does not work again until rebooted. Then the process repeats.

Any other t-mobile subscribers with you? The crazy weather might be a cause.

[General Questions and Answers] neonflash:
i have a samsung galaxy s captivate (i987) the at&t version of the galaxy s.

i bought it rooted running cyanogenmod and miui

not sure which versions of either but under phone settings it says "andriod version 2.3.7" if that may help someone identify?

i also have a samsung galaxy s i9000 (the international release i believe)

on the captivate when i get a text i can long press the msg and select msg details then time msg sent will be received aswell as time msg reieved.

on the i9000 however i can long press again msg details but all i can see is time msg recieved.

this is a personal hate of mines!

at work i have to switch my phone off, part of its company policy but also i dont pick up a great signal there either so its pointless to leave it on.

i switch it on when i leave and texts from during the day come through, its no use to me recieving a text that tells me when i received it since its more relevent to when the person sent it originally. if you know what i mean.

so i want to know is it the cyanogenmod, or the miui that being makes me able to see the original time the text was actuallly sent. i'm pretty sure it must be one of those that is enabling this?

[HTC Rezound] adwmd03:
I was wondering if it is normal for the kernel info under About-Software-More to always stay the same after a new kernel has been flashed? I have installed NilsP Business ICS (both 3.6&4.0) and both times the kernel says it is installed correctly but the name is unchanged when I look in setting under About-Software-More. My kernel always says: 3.0.16-hd0049f1 htc-kernel@u18000-build-144 #1 smp preempt. Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Alex
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
if you are s-on then you will need to flash the kernel out side of recovery. so unless nils rom installs then automatically rebooted you to hboot to finish the kernel wasnt installed.

i know he has in the second post the different kernels that are out. pick one, rename it to PH98IMG.zip and place it on root of sd card.

reboot to hboot and let it install.

done.
[HTC Rezound] adwmd03:
Yes, I have done that and It successfully completes. I guess my concern is how do I tell I am running the correct kernel? It appears to me that the kernel name does not change when I look at about phone-software info-more then read the kernel version. Mine currently says 3.0.16-hd0049f1 htc-kernel@u18000-build-144 #1 smp preempt. I just installed business ice 3.6. Since I do not have S OFF will the phone display the default kernel even though one has been flashed over it?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
as long as the kernel says 3.0.16 and the build number is 144 then they havent changed anything from the last 3 leaks.
[HTC Rezound] adwmd03:
Okay, I'm just used to seeing a lot of Roms go with a custom kernel option. Coming from a rooted dinc, I used an incredikernel with a lot of the custom roms I used.I was concerned because it displays the exact same kernel as the ota ics update put out by Verizon. Do a lot of developers stick with stock kernels for rezound roms?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
i came from the inc too. the reason there isnt that many options is because we dont have source for ICS yet. so as far as i know the .10 ruu is the latest kernel and the other 2 leaks that came after are still using that kernel.

once source drops we will see kernel development.
[HTC Rezound] adwmd03:
Thank you very much! I didn't realize we didn't have the source code yet. I really appreciate your help.

I have successfully rooted and installed the CleaNote rom on my GT-7000N. Does this mean the phone is unlocked also? If I go to a country in Asia, I can just buy a sim card and it will work normally?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Rooting is different from the word 'Unlock'.

Rooting is when you want to harness and utilize your phone's capabilties to your advantage. This is where heavy customization and modding of your phone comes in. You want to fully tap your phone's internal and hidden directory files, install and flash custom roms/kernels. Simply.. rooting is when you want to make use of your phone's full potential to your advantage and at the same time, giving it a full 'make over' that suits your fancy and taste.

Unlock means your phone is not in any way, carrier/network lock. Unsubsidize is what I'm saying. You're not binded by any contract by your carrier on whatever you do or tinker with it. Unlock means you are not getting bloatwares as well(that most carriers have on their subsidized phones)

If you bought your phone not from the carrier itself and you bought it from a reputable store e.g. Samsung. Then rest assured it is unlock. You can also test it by using different simcards when you get your phone right out of the box.

Your last question, if you go to Asia, if say you have tested different simcards already and you can use those simcards off your phone before. Then there shouldn't be any reasons at all why you can't use any other network/simcards wherever place you might go.

Cheers! :good:
