New keyboard is good, although I can't get it to recognize the word 'sh*t', when gesture typing.

Typing it normally works, and there's no option to save the word, so it already knows the word?

This is true for a bunch of other words as well.

I like the new camera, but noticed a bug, apart from the unnecessary rotation.

Whenever you bring up the quick settings menu, it will also change the auto focus point to that spot.

Don't really like the way lock screen widgets was done.

It's not very intuitive. Widgets seem to switch from minimized to maximized whenever they want.

When you wake the phone, the widget on the first screen will be minimized. If you swipe to another screen, and swipe back, it will be maximized.

You can not move/remove a widget while it's minimized, you have to maximize it first.

Clicking on a widget when it's maximized will unlock and open that app. Clicking on a widget when it's minimized will do some weird thing where it highlights half the screen.

If you want to unlock the phone normally while a widget is maximized, you have to click the lock icon to minimize the widget and then unlock.

Once you've learned all this weirdness, it's probably usable, but the whole thing seems really clunky to me.

The settings pull-down is just a bunch of shortcuts (except for airplane mode, wtf).

The most annoying thing though, is, there is now a delay when sleeping the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Way much different. On WP8 widgets share the same shape and background, basically the same layout and design. In Android you know, it seems like a collage, there is no consistency.

All the unsatisfied 4.2 users has this verizon nexus owner thinking he'll be more happy with 4.1.2 and some new radios in a couple months, rather than 4.2 in a couple of months.

Is 4.2 really as bad as people are making it sound or are folks just being critical (rightfully so) and pointing out the issues first?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
Not a great release, IMO. Lag everywhere for me.

Anyone saying this is smoother than 4.1.2 is insane or blind.

Recent apps menu is laggy as hell when swiping the first few apps away for some reason, then it's fine.

Bringing up the recent apps menu sometimes seems to make my wallpaper disappear for a split second then bring it back, which is jarring.

Full rotation on the camera even though literally every button stays in the same place

TONS of wasted space on the lock screen "circle." Why the hell have EVERY direction simply unlock? I liked it much more in 4.1.2 where it was clear that left was camera, up was Google, and right was unlock. Why they messed with that in favor of some half baked widget system is beyond me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
Widgets are not at all useless..

You know what is useless? boring rows of static icons
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
There are people reporting lag and there are people reporting smooth.

What could be the difference?, could it be a clean install vs plain ota issue? Or not doing a factory reset after update?

Im way too curious about this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demzzy:
im thinking maybe a clean install would be best?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Perception.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
One guy said it was laggier so immediately the placebo affect worked in reverse and everyone decided it had to be.

The Google Voice app crashes every time I try to compose and send a text message. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Loving 4.2 they seemed to really polish the edges and make the os run smooth and expected. And although the toggles kind of suck, custom Roms will surely fix that. Only problem I have is that the recent apps window is laggy, the animation is smooth but scrolling up and down and killing apps is laggy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xaueious:
Animations are definitely more laggy than on 4.1, especially the CRT animation. I resorted to turning animations off.

The GNex is officially obsolete :(

Screen unlock is a bit awkward too. The homescreen widgets are not good for performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadrunnerx7:
Just got the OTA update! Been on android since the G1 days and i really think this update is like 2 big steps forward, but then a few small steps backwards. A lot of lag and especially when sleeping the phone. Lockscreen widgets seem stupid... At least in their current form. Maybe the widgets will be updated to be more useful on the lockscreen? And the camera rotates the old way again? Definitely a step back! Though i guess if the trade off is photosphere or smooth rotation... But then again im pretty sure a rotation gets used more often lol. Still checking everything out...

I guess in the big picture im glad theyre still giving us useful features too. Photosphere is awesome!! And the "swype" typing is something ive wanted for so long.. I liked the android keyboard a lot for landscape typing, its really nice, but hated having to type with one hand, swype is perfect for that but least for me it sucks on landscape. Now the best of both worlds!

Except for the reeeeally annoying lag, and stupid lockscreen widgets, id say 4.2 is a pretty good update, mainly cause of the keyboard for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Loureiro:
whaaaaat? dude chill, Gnex is not obsolete. crt anim changed, not laggy.

Infact, 4.2 is snapier than 4.1.2 IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v0te4ryan:
I have only been on 4.2 for a few hours, however so far it feels very solid. I haven't experienced any lag thus far, not sure how I feel about the lock screen widgets yet but overall I'm fairly impressed, plus gesture typing and photosphere are amazing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
Holy crap how depressing that a 4.2 update would make the phone this annoying to people.

I hope you guys are just making something out of nothing. If the Gnex can't handle a 4.2 upgrade perfectly, this is not looking good for anybody who wants their phone to work for at least 2 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
I hate the new lock screen widgets. Nothing available is useful at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TMontague:
Like most of it so far with a few exceptions mostly around the clock

I am not having any issue inside the lockscreen with any app incompatibilities nor any lagging that I can discern. Generally I'm pleased with it. Thought it weird they hid the developer options but I guess anyone who wants to run ADB will do what I did, Google it and realize learn to turn it back on.

Here's what I don't like. The clock widget. I really don't like the look of having this huge bold hour font and then the normal skinny Roboto font for the minutes. That simply looks weird to me. Did anyone ever have a problem with figuring out the hour vs the minutes? It seems a total departure from the clean style guide of what Roboto was supposed to bring. Also, the internal graphics seem amateurish to me. Like when an alarm rings and you decide what to do with it -- those spidery images all around the clock -- just don't like that. I can live with it, but I don't like it

Here's the other thing that I don't like -- too retro honeycomb -- when you first hit power to wake the screen up, the old honeycomb screen separator bars appear briefly. What's up with that? That's really ugly. They aren't there, thank goodness, on the main home screen as you slide it back and forth, but I've always hated those screen boundry lines.

I'm also trying to figure out -- perhaps someone here knows: on my Nexus 7, no problem to add another widget to the home screen, but by GNex, can't seem to add/subtract the home screen widget. Is that a setting I'm missing or is that turned off for the phone UI? [EDIT] Figured it out. There's a technique to how you swipe. I kept getting the unlock pattern but found out that if you swipe from far left/right you slide to a different screen. I do like the quick camera there to the right without unlocking the phone. That's cool.

I do like the functions of the clock with the stopwatch and timer built in. That's nice. A bit odd interface, but works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superevilllama:
Has anyone had luck returning to 4.1.2? I cannot restore nandroid because clockworkmod cannot find the SD card any longer (due to sdcard0 chnage) and if I flash system and boot images through fast boot it just keeps cycling the boot screen over and over. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3pcssuits:
I love the lock screen widgets, only wish there was more of them like weather and what not. It is in my experience that it is smoother and faster then 4.1.2. The quick menu could have been done better instead. But all in all I rate it better then the last update and hope Google keeps on building upon what they have started and not try to back track.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madmanepic:
Just got the update.

The keyboard is nice and smooth. Unfortunately you can't go back and correct mistakes without retyping then.

I like the direct access button 2 voice typing. Much better then swipes version.

The camera app is better. I think I will now use the light settings. And I think it is taking better quality photos. Alto I did not do a direct comparison. The low light photos I just took look much crisper then before. And macro photos seem much better.

The lock screen is odd. But I might get use to it.

Gmail pinch to zoom and swipe to archive is a great addition.

Quick settings are not quick enough. Might as well use the home widget.

A little lag but have not done any power cycles.

Overall I am happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adit:
Just noticed that notification light does not work on apps such as whatsapp.... can anyone confirm or is it just me? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] defconoi:
Really annoyed that Google voice is broke in 4.2 I hope Google finally updates gv
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xyzulu:
There is an updated version of CWM that resolves this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdp:
I agree, I actually wish they would just integrate GV texting into the stock Messaging app. GV voicemails are already integrated into the dialer, they should just do full integration and remove the need for the separate app.

I'm waiting for the official OTA on my GSM Nexus, disappointed to hear some are experiencing lag though, and I also agree that from what I've read the lock-screen widgets and quick settings panel are poorly thought out, rushed implementations. 4.1 is so perfect, don't want them to screw it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hooman64:
I do photography from time to time, and if I'm not mistaken HDR has nothing to do with the Hardware. it's just taking pictures in different exposures and then overlaying them so you get a well exposed photo over all. it's more of a software thingy. you can do it manually as well but still. my point was that Google is acting like another company lately *cough*Apple*cough*.

it's not about the feature, it's about Google abandoning its hardware sooner than expected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
What is the deal with the keyboard using up all this battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iTzGavin96:
I have this loaded on a stock sensation (its an apk download now) and it wasn't working well at first, so I cleared the defaults and set this, it gave me a force close, and now works great without any lag! My only gripe is that the keys are a little small but the swipe is flawless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superevilllama:
Havent been able to find that... tried updating to latest in rommanager but no change. I already did the full restore back to stock 4.1.2 and then nandroided from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hooman64:
Yeah I have the same problem, I figured out if you want to text someone it's better to find them in your inbox and add a text to the conversation instead of making a new topic. but if you want to send a text to a new contact then you have problems, and I also contacted Groove IP regarding the login issue and they told me that it's a known problem and they are trying to fix it hopefully by the weekend. but it sucks that the new jellybean crippled most of the previously jellybean optimized apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhi29:
sd card

so why does my sdcard partition now have a bunch of other partitions in it? I'm a little confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
If it runs half as well as add it does on the Nexus 7, bring it on. This is incredibly smooth, way smoother than 4.1.2 was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Is anyone else correcting à lot of words with the new keyboard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
just transfer files from sdcard0/0 to sdcard0 and you will be able to see them in cwm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
cuz the format changed in 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pinak.ahuja:
I don't know why people are finding 4.2 laggy . It is definitely as smooth as 4.1.2 if not more. Time for a clean flash I think for those people who are saying it's laggy. The quick settings are disappointing though and the camera rotation lag is pissing me off the rest of the ROM is totally awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
+1 on 4.2 being smooth.. but i think most ppl did clean flash, cuz we had to revert to stock 4.1.2 before flashing the 4.2 update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowbudge:
Remember Developer options can be opened by tapping About "tab/phone" 7 times then it will give you permission.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Edrill:
Running quite smooth after nearly a day. The initial lag I faced was probably just me being in a hurry to get everything installed! Can't say much about battery life for the same reason! But I'm finding it quite smooth now. And thanks to custom kernels, the colors are back to normal too! The stock colors look like someone peed all over the screen!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UsernameInvalid:
Unfortunately, yes. It's funny how the unreleased apk for the keyboard was faster and more accurate than the final product.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
try updating to the latest play store.. i heard that fixed some problems for users
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UsernameInvalid:
I'm on 3.9.17 which I think is the newest one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
No lag here at all, also liking the lockscreen widgets.

Oh and HDR is not about composing pictures of different exposure. This is how HDR is 'faked'. Real HDR supported hardware takes pictures in RAW format in a higher range of brightness that the display supports and then down scales the bright areas and upscales the dark areas. Photographers have done this manually for years.

Taking multiple pictures of different exposure can simulate this, but is not a real HDR.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anmiman:
I have no major issues in 4.2..loving it so far especially photosphere,really cool feature and my WiFi network reception have gotten better.. Before the update, there's no WiFi reaching my phone on my room, but after update, i have got WiFi in my room.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flintdragon:
No lag that I can see. Only negatives for me is the camera screen rotation. Looks really crappy and serves no purpose. The extra menu choice from dropdown seems completely useless since it just opens up the Settings page. Modem still seems to move a lot in reception strength. Haven't been able to test out max throughput. Interestingly, my location is no longer reported as Las Vegas when wifi is turned on. Hopefully that holds...really annoying bug.

No lag on recent apps function as someone mentioned.

I was completely stock takju 4.1.2 with OTA update from 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
Wait, you mean the issue where touch sensitivity drops has been fixed?! Please confirm if yes.

I am not enthusiastic about the slow camera rotation that I'm hearing about. I loved the smoothness of icons only rotating, and was hoping they'd bring it to more apps, rather than go backwards like this.... :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
So its either perception or people that do a clean install get the smooth rom

Gonna wait for my ota to prove it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
i think its perception.. most ppl came from a custom rom using custom kernel with custom settings, they will surely feel a difference
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donovanchan:
Clean flash and no lag at all. Recent App is smooth too.

Lockscreen widget is not useful to me. It is annoying that we have to touch the lock icon to minimize the widget and then unlock the phone.

Quick settings has to be toggle buttons. Gotta stick with Widgetsoid at this moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
Honestly, I don't think some of the 4.2 aspects are as clean as 4.1.x ROMs. Like why isn't there an option to lock lock screen shortcuts? Also, the new clock and clock app, the way the time is displayed doesn't seem to be as clean as it should be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
Which one are you guys flashing from the dev section ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
I flashed the factory image, with a full system clean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donovanchan:
Factory image.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhundven:
While porting SGH-T959V to the aries kernel, we've ran into a rather nasty SoD.

Without further ado, here is what I see on the usb-uart:

[ 168.243223] (hpd_status = 0)++
[ 171.568772] wm8994_set_mic_bias: HWREV=13, on=0
[ 171.581786] PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
[ 171.591614] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.
[ 171.614047] Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.
[ 171.633556] Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)

Then the device never comes back from suspend. The power button, nor any other button on the phone will wake the phone.

This issue does not happen if:

usb is plugged in

a device that holds a wakelock, such as sdhc/mmc, is active. So: logging to sdcard

So the only way for me to debug the issue is over usb-uart or internal uart (which I'm still working on trying to solder correctly).

My first assumption is that a gpio pin is set incorrectly, but I've spent the last 3 months tinkering around with gpio settings and got no where.

I've also tried enabling power management (both platform specific and generic) debugging, and followed the basic pm debugging documentation in the kernel.

I get zero information about which device is either failing to suspend or any evidence as to where I should look.

At first we suspected the ril (samsung-modemctl), but after I checked out a commit before that code was committed and disabled rild in our init.aries.rc, I was able to reproduce the issue. So that rules out ril/samsung-modemctl.

I'm was also thinking it might have been one of the gpio interrupt pins, and I went through each pin and tried changing settings with no change.

Any help would be most appreciated, as I'm at a loss to where I should go next.

I am more then happy to test any theories and provide verbose results.

I downloaded the whole kernel from bhundven's git, I am trying to see the kernel

debugging parameters, but I don't know where to look exactly, what I wanted

to see if "no_console_suspend" is set to 1. I don't know if we can boot the kernel

with this parameter from the terminal :/

more specifically:

Some valuable information about kernel debugging found here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelDebuggingTricks

Although it is for ubuntu kernel, but android is quite similar I think.

It could be Heisenbug that bryan mentioned before as a side effect of printk causing a slow down and

race condition issue.

but probably bryan already did that.. I don't really know, just throwing ideas here and there.. Sorry for reviving the thread btw :o
