MX player is the only app so far that's not working at all. There may be more. I haven't tried them all yet. But a good alternative to MX player is mobo player which is working fine.

On another note someone posted that the kernel must have been optimizes for the N4..... they have the new 3.4.0 kernel.... We are on 3.0.31 still.... So the kernel we have it's optimized for our phone....

Here's a thread on apps not working under 4.2 on the Nexus 7 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1989876

Everything runs smooth and nice for me. But for some reason auto-sync is broken :crying:

UPD: fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sliders7:
just want to share that some existing 3rd party apps under 4.2 causing lag and weird behavior, I uninstalled them immediately to prevent further errors. I think I should wait untill all app have 4.2 compatibility updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
I would like to add that the aosp build is running much better than the OTA build.... Lock screen is way more responsive and the clock is different
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ray3andrei:
Works great,

I flashed 4.1.2 stock, because I had an error(status7), and then sideloaded 4.2 with Adb stock recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrtraveler:
I received the update after clearing the Google Services Framework which I also used for the 4.1.2 update. Everything seems ok so far except for one strange thing. On the clock screen the Hour numbers and Date are Bold but the minutes are not.

Does anybody know what this is about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sliders7:
so i assume you've tried the OTA and have diff performance compare to full image? wow.. I should try that.. cuz I updated it via OTA and feels lagging in the OS.

Thanks!

That's the new clock design

Consider listing the apps you had a problem with
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Battery life is very good compared to the previous releases. I ran for forty minutes with Bluetooth turned on while listening to tune in radio and using endomondo app. Google now turned on. I lost fifteen percent compared to losing 35% with similar usage. Very satisfied.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
I flashed the full 4.2 factory image and have noticed a bit laggy in places, too. Waiting for CM10.1 personally :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
This is a first time ever when i'm considering going back to an older Android version. I'm really disappointed this time.

- The new lockscreen is a such misunderstanding... It looks awful and i have 0 logical reasons to use it.

- Swiping keyboard isn't my think and it's useless when i type in my native language.

- Quick settings. Are they really that quick? No. Clicking WiFi/Mobile data icons takes you to the settings... WHY? How about single tap to enable/disable them just like Airplane mode button works?

- Speaker volume wasn't increased even on this update. Again, WHY? It is literally impossible to watch some youtube videos as you hear nothing.

- And finally, screen brightness. It might be my personal preference, but i still find it way too dark, especially indoors.

I guess the next browser tab i will open is http://get.cm :eek:

Thank you Google for your efforts, but this time you didn't deliver.

Isn't the galaxy nexus just barely a year old... If that? People talk about it as if it is 1953 super zenith.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maliceomalice:
I just have some in-compatibility of apps with 4.2. I'll wait till some of the apps works well with 4.2, then i will permenantly use 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
With technology, it's like dog years. A one year old phone is 80 years old in people years. 3-6 months from now a new Galaxy phone will be announced and people will complain that the N4 they bought yesterday is ancient.

And don't get me started on the new "new" ipad

Flash the image in Efrant's thread(s)? Really easy via fastboot/CWM/TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lultima:
Yes u have reason, people talk like if Gnex is a preistoric model, but this is not absolutely true; just think on Nexus One or Nexus S, I've had them both and i'm sure in this time they running 4.1.2 .

The real true is that this update it's like an experimental update at least for Gnex, i don't know how go on Nexus 4.

They release the factory image very suddenly, this mean that don't need a so complex work to port 4.2 on our device.

I think that i'll come back on my AOKP M1 and watching the work for a future AOKP 4.2 as always.

Nexus Users are like the astronauts, must discover all by themself, google it's the nasa give us the spaceship !!! :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
Look at this video at 13:58 the animation and the album art lag when clicking on a song:

http://youtu.be/UgCMpK8Px6g?t=13m58s

Thats not normal for a quad core, 2GB ram phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I swear some people split hairs. Its ridiculous.

If Android performance sucks so bad, why use it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
and your models of phones used in comparison are?

and actually after watching it, its fine, if you notice hes still getting the 'first time use' tutorial windows popping up. so it is still likely media scanning. also what he used for recording the video wasnt the best camera so its a rough way to evaluate 'ui lag'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
That lag shouldn't be there. Does Google even use their own apps? Like Google Plus lags like hell when scrolling the news feed, YouTube scrolling in search results is laggy, in Gmail when deleting a mail, the animation which shows the mail removed from the list is very choppy. And so on.

A lot of these things are all over the OS.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

I have the latest version of jelly bean on my Galaxy nexus and the same lag can be found on the Nexus 4.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

The media scanning has nothing to do with it. My galaxy nexus has the same kind of lags all the time. When you see lags on your phone, its a turn off, it makes the phone feel cheap and not premium. I paid 500$ on the G-nex and really dissapointed that after 2 major vresions of android, lags still appear all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Your best bet would be to wait for portable quantum processors. Any time the OS is doing something in the background it is going to use some of the cpu. And even a quad core is not going to make this go away, as it would take longer cpu time to open 4 process threads and run them than to push them to a single core. So what you get is that ~10ms lag because with album art its polling from google servers and your local storage.

Old rule, if you look hard enough to find something wrong, you will always find it.

Not sure what else to really say, I myself don't experience any ui lag in this same scenario as your video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeoveu:
I saw that after posting my response above. Isn't that emoji keyboard related with Sense and all that?

I just typed "circle" and it have me ❍ and ⚪ but only if I type out the words, not if I swipe them... so I think we need to figure out what words work with the emoji dictionary.

That can also be the app's fault. There are some other apps that work wonderfully so I wouldn't quite blame the processor for the stuttering.

Case in point: open the twitter app on the phone. Notice how some things are smooth in the animation and other things aren't. The same goes for this other app called Network Monitor...or something like it.

Enabling GPU acceleration helps...but it might break other things in the process.

Two issues I noticed:

1. Email notifications vibrate despite vibrate being turned off in the app.

2. Phone often is searching for GPS, which didn't happen before this update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrtraveler:
Firefox keeps closing. Hope they update soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoronaDelux:
This may be an unreported addition, however the default messaging app now has a group MMS option, like how it works on the iPhone. I already tested and it works...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
The only thing that really annoys me so far.

AND it's a pity once again they did not implement the ability to have another lockscreen wallpaper than the homescreen one. When are they finally going to implement this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowbudge:
No this was OTA from Google.

Just realized my gallery FC when trying to do anything other then view an image. On both N7( stock ) and my GN vzn ( rooted ) .. So it seems to be a full on 4.2 issue for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
don't feed the troll
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sliders7:
i Second that.. I got the feeling this is experimental. Google need to know all the bugs. They are watching this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskyweb:
Very raw - will be going back to 4.1.2

This is the list:

1. CWM recovery can't find backups. Maybe due to introduction of sdcard/0 directory;

2. Folders don't show up if connected to a computer via USB. Phone restart fixes the problem and new folder finally appear;

3. GPS is constantly searching for location and any app dependent on it hangs;

4. Wi-Fi tethering doesn't work, neither does WiFi Tether for root users app. So there is no way to use the phone to go online on a computer;

This is the worst upgrade that I have seen coming from Google. ROM developers do much better job or at least they already know and tell you what works and what doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
This. Very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
That's really strange, I don't have any of the issues on my N7 with gallery or lagginess.

Google Voice wasn't working. There's now an update in the app store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
This seems to be a pretty rushed update from what I'm reading, and a lot of the new features don't seem very well thought through. Think I'm gonna stay with 4.1.2 until Google fixes these issues in 4.2.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smanfly:
hi everyone :)

i just flashed my phone and it's very fast, faster but something it's not right... i think it's slow? but i feel it faster... strange

BIG problem....

since i flashed 4.2 my usb connexion to pc it;s not working... i connect it to pc, i see my gnexus in my computer but there is nothing there it;s empty, and i looked at settings but did not fing any problems...adb debugging not working ... still it;s charging and if i want to reflash again it;s working in fastboot ...

some ideeas? i am lazy to reflash again... lazy doing all the settings.

thank you

go nexus! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_myk:
I found one new thing in 4.2 update. When you tap multitasking on screen button app minimizes itself to very first 'squere'. I compared it with another device with stock 4.1.2 and there is no such animation . (N7 vs SGN) And app which minimizes on new update is not even listed on last apps list, w but it's shown in background.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reeebo:
is it possible for a phone to have it's screen on, but to not be awake O.O. That is what the battery page is indicating to me right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Maybe that is why this new version of android seems more power efficient. I don't know of you guys noticed, but look under Wi-Fi advanced settings and you will see a new option to optimize Wi-Fi for less power consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tloc:
I just gave 4.2 a try, and decided not to stick with it. I'm switching to CM10. My thoughts:

* the new lock screen needs work - ATM the widgets on the sides, which can't be removed, stand out too much, also, the clock font is blocky and unattractive;

* maybe it's just me, but turning off the screen via the power button is laggy and makes the phone feel sluggish;

* quick settings, while a step in the right direction, are not quite there yet;

* the recent apps menu now has a fancy animation where the foreground app shrinks into its slot - unfortunately, my launcher of choice (Nova) currently doesn't get along well with this change, making the recent apps menu look bad on the desktop;

* no killer new features, since Miracast is currently absent and the (awesome) new keyboard can be installed manually on older Android versions.

Stock 4.2 is an OTA update or two away from being a good daily driver in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
4.2 brings a new bluetooth stack I read. Does it apply to the Galaxy Nexus? If so, does bluetooth tethering work without using partial wake lock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fushla:
Soooo, ugh, I'm takju now and I think Google fixed the colors? It looks different ^^ am I right? Feels smooth and looks cool. Nice features... And the toggles with this fast travel to the settings aren't THAT bad... Better than nothing ^^ but... It needs one update... Sometimes you feel 4.2 wants a quad core CPU :P:P

Oh and... Scrolling in G+ is muuuuuuuuch more smoother!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupaDupaFly24:
I don't see the lag that everyone is mentioning.. Overall this is a pretty cool update. Seems kinda rushed in the sense that some features seem half-baked and not finished..But I have no real major issues so far *knocks on wood*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
I noticed another regression with the new camera app. The camera app thumbnail in the app switcher shows what was in your viewfinder again like in the original ICS camera. That was fixed as a privacy issue but is back now.

In general I like 4.2, but it's got some glitches. I'm hoping a 4.2.1 comes out soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hooman64:
For emoji to show you have to activate the "Word Suggestion" under your keyboard setting, then if you type Smile, you see a smiley face on the suggestion bar, or you can write heart or diamond or whatever. but you don't get a list of emojis like iphone does, if that's what you're looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
After reading most pages in this post, I must say i'm one of the few with no FCs nor problems at all, i had yakju and installed 4.1.2 takju then flashed the upgrade through CWM, now I still have my custom recovery and root.

The only thing I haven't seen to activate is emoji (even though I found it reading the post above) and can't find Sound Search and don't know what is the recent app, other than that I'm very pleased with the upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
Anyone noticed that if you select your lock screen widget and unlock, it unlocks straight to the app? I'm in serious love with these widgets, can't wait for 3rd party devs to add them in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
It's not working for me. It used to in 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Anyone uninstalling apps due to incompatibility with 4.2 might want to try the app AppWatcher, I use it for games I dont keep installed but I want to know when they get new levels and such.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hooman64:
your Input Language should be English, as far as I know Emoji only works on English dictionary and French one. Assuming your input language for your keyboard is English here are the steps you have to take:

Go to Settings -> Language & input -> then select the Menu Icon in front of the Android Keyboard -> Input Language (Should say English, I don't know if there is a difference between US & UK input, mine is US) -> then go down to Add-on Dictionaries and Install Emoji for English words -> the go back and select "Show correction suggestions" -> change it to Always show now you should get something like this:

EDIT: I took that screenshot from my Xoom, but when I checked it on my GNEX I realized that the Emoji doesn't show on GNEX's keyboard. I'm not sure if it's a bug or it wasn't suppose to work on GNEX!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
Noticed this too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hooman64:
yeah I realized the same thing! that's weird. I think they removed this feature as well! I can say for sure 4.2 is the worst update ever :)). in case you want emoji everywhere you can install MultiLing Keyboard, they have Emoji integrated with their keyboard. personally I like their keyboard, I don't know if Go Keyboard or any other keyboard has support for Emoji but MultiLing has it for sure.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Just tried it... and it instantly crashes on launch.

Is there an App Watcher that watches when App Watcher gets updated? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
My default keyboard is Google's Pinyin input anyway. I was just curious about the emoji, I don't use them much. It seems unlikely they removed the feature thought since it just came out, and the emoji dictionaries are still available to download.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alangrig:
Clean install Android 4.2 Takju.

What I've found now free RAM is less. In average 260-290 mb free. Usage is the same like on 4.1.2, however. On previous build always had in average around 350-390 free RAM. So sometimes phone seems to be laggy, especially from lock screen to Google Now directly. Takes some seconds to appear. Seems to be bad RAM optimization with latest Android version.

In general very good update.Screen color has been improved. New toggles center is great idea.I do hope Google gonna fix ocassional lag for Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android.vibrant:
got the 4.2 update last night. First impression is better than I expected. Switching apps is smoother with added animation, swype-like keyboard is great. However, there are some bugs on android broswer. The loading bar freezes with a black block on top when refreshed on quick control. The clock is a little confusing at first and need some improvement on its font/color. Also, the lockscreen widget, a bit laggy. I wish it could resize like homescreen widgets.

So far, i like to update and love Nexus.

P.S: I still think Emoji support is buggy on this version I can't get it to work in every app! but then again I don't use it at all. and I have to agree with our friend above that said "The more i use 4.2 the more confused i get :rolleyes:".

Forget about upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2

All my gnex abnormalities disappeared by clean install using full factory image.. I started with clean wipe and all... I confirm it run smoother and faster

But there was hickups, i got several FC while linking my yahoo and hotmail acct.

Now i solve the problem by reseting the app and reboot. Strange isn't..

Oh btw no 3rd party app installed yet!

I also sense the OS smooth and faster in some places but then lag in some other places, really can't tell in which particular part. This is weird.

I'm not trying to go back to 4.1.2

I think i will stick to this 4.2 .. It's ok.. The new features worth to keep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] likebutta:
GSM. Full install from tajku 4.2 image from Google. Then used Titanium backup to restore all my apps/contacts/sms/settings. So far it's been okay but.... seems the UI isn't as smooth. Could just be my mind playing tricks on me.

Most notably, OTG USB mounting got screwed up. Maybe has something to do with the virtual user changes but stickmount and a bunch of other programs don't have a workaround yet. Lockscreen is a bit meh until 3rd party apps support placement of widgets there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] babbit:
Anyone else had to change their pattern lock code because the initial part of the pattern gets interpretted as a swipe to one of the lockscreen widgets? On 4.1.2, I can be pretty course with the pattern and the phone will still recognize it. Now, I have to make sure my fingers don't touch the edge of the screen or else it'll think i'm trying to get to the lockscreen widgets or camera.
