transition animation micro stuttering and choppy scrolling.

dear all,

i search for stutter, stuttering, lag, choppy, and scrolling but to no available for the keywords. so here i shoot:

does anyone experience micro stuttering in transition animation -when entering app drawer, opening apps, switching between apps, and such- when in a medium to brighter ambient light? and choppy scrolling almost in every app?

i often experience the micro stuttering on stock android 4.2.2 and cm 10.1 running either stock launcher or nova or apex launcer with stock effect or custom effects, and also with either stock or custom kernels. 4.2.1 on nexus 4 has this stuttering but much lesser occurrence compared to 4.2.2, and i don't even remember having this issue on galaxy nexus running 4.1.1 up to 4.2.1 while 4.1.1 is the fastest and smoothest animation and scrolling of all. funny thing was i could notice the micro stuttering too on nexus 7 running android 4.2.2. :/

most of the time in dark room or in low ambient light, the system is smooth, could not notice any stuttering, but in bright room or in mid to high ambient light, i could see the micro stuttering in transition animation which bug the hell out of me, and i'm so envy of the ios smooth animation and scrolling.

i tried to debug with return to stock without installing any apps, installing different combination of kernels, apps, basebands, roms, but to no luck at all. the micro stuttering always comes back and easily noticed in under day light outdoor. i did run some tests using androbench, glbenchmark, and vellamo apps downloaded from google play, but the scores were pretty much the same as on anandtech, engadget, and the verge reviews. on normal usage just to socializing and read news, the temp throttle seemed did not kick in as well, checked with system monitor and trickster mod apps, also battery temperature was always below or equal to 40C. so i guess i'm not having hardware issues. three of my colleagues who happen to have nexus 4 and or nexus 7 experiencing the same micro stuttering on transtision animation and choppy scrolling too as well. disabling the auto brightness reduces the stuttering a little, enabling the "disable HW overlays" in developer options also reduces the transition animation stuttering and choppy scrolling, while "force GPU rendering" in developer options improves the scrolling a bit but still often choppy.

i also have reported this issues on this following site https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=52420 but to no available solution up to now. i do hope android 4.2.3 or 4.3.x or 5.x.x will fix these issues.

thanks in advanced. happy weekend! :D

Can't mount SD Card

Hi guys, wondering if someone can help. I encrypted my device (I'm using PA 3.55) and now can't access the internal SD via CWM (6.0.3.0) as it won't mount the SD Card. Is there anyway around this as I want to keep the encryption on the device (enforced policy when adding work email) but it seems like I can't flash anymore via CWM. Would changing permissions in Root Explorer help?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh1ner:
Hey guys, I am having numerous issues that I need help on. First I need to provide some history:

I have installed clockworkmod recovery whilst I was on stock 4.1. I also installed the busybox package.

Later on I modified the camera video bit rate following an XDA Thread.

I then tried to upgrade to 4.2 using the OTA. I assume the upgrade failed because the camera bit rate modification was enough to cause the OTA consider my version of "android as modified"

***I then had dropped my phone completely smashing my screen***

I got the screen fixed by carphone warehouse. I do not believe they made any checks on anything else that was broken.

Since I could not upgrade to 4.2 via the OTA I installed the official google 4.2.2 rom onto it to get around this issue.

Now for the issues in the order of pain:

0) Will be typing a message or doing something. Phone turns off. I turn it back on and once it gets to the end of "android is updating" and has optimised all my apps it then does not load the OS. It actually turns itself off.

My assumption is that the battery is falsey being reported it thinks there 40% charge or 20% charge when there is none. Hence why it turns off. When I turn it back on it does the android is updating thing. Then the OS tries to actually load but it realizes it actually has not battery to load so it turns itself off.

Or the phone gets to a certain point in the battery and dies because the battery is damaged from the fall.

I have no idea how to fix this and I really think it may be a hardware issue. Any attempted fixes of utils to run are most welcome.

1) On boot android is always does an update to all apps "android is updating" and I see it count through all my apps as it is optimising them.

I am going to reinstall clockworkmod recovery tonight hoping it will resolve the issue.

2) Back camera not recognised/Gallery App does not load (crashes). I do not know if the camera hardware is damaged on the drop or if this is down to my dodgy software config.

I have replaced the apk and odex file and fixed the permissions on the apps and then cleared the gallery cache and data.

I have downloaded other apps and they only recognise the front camera.

Any suggestions are welcome. I am willing to go the extra mile as I have already spent £80 to fix the phone.

Media Volume, Ringer Volume, and Google Now

Looked all over, can't seem to find anyone with the same issue (or else it doesn't bother them as it does me).

Why is the ringer volume, not the media volume associated with Google Now speech output? It's incredibly annoying to always have your phone on vibrate then having to turn up the ringer volume in order to enjoy the "always speak" feature, and then holding down the power button (or the volume rocker) to go back to vibrate.

Is there anyway to use Google Now with the media volume rather than the ringer volume?

(This seems to be feature on all devices rather than a bug or technical issue, as it is present with my old Bionic on 4.1.2, my Nexus 4 on 4.2.2, and my father's HTC One X on 4.1)

I searched and didn't find anything to help besides flashing a different recovery so if I've missed it I'd appreciate a point in that direction. :)

When I wipe data / factory reset in cwm to flash a new ROM, it says it was successful but any ROM that I install goes straight to the homescreen as if it didn't actually wipe anything. Basically, it skips the setup screens on any ROM I install. As I mentioned, I'm using cwm. What could be causing it to not actually wipe the data? How do I go about fixing that?

Thanks ahead of time, I appreciate any and all help!

Network - Airtel issues

Observed this strange network issue pretty much confirmed.

My wife has a Galaxy R and I have the N4 bought from the US. We are both on Airtel+GPRS-EDGE. We hit the same url from the chrome browser, the galaxy connects faster and loads faster. Change the spot for one with full signal strength in blue. Tried loading a different URL in the same manner. Same results. A friend came over with a Galaxy Ace. Same story. The sammy phones connected faster and loaded the data much faster. Moreover, the inbuilt sammy browser also seem to be doing a better job than the chrome on the same device!

Next, connectivity and roaming. Couple of weeks ago drove down on the Mumbai-Pune expressway and as we exit the expressway - no signal. It did not latch on to the airtel network right away on roaming. Did a manual search for networks and airtel did show up. Connect automatically-fail. Tried connecting to another provider-fail..obviously. Then again did a connect auto and did succeed to airtel.

Went to Pune again yesterday and the same thing happened.

The stuff had me very curious and a strangely, I am not the only one to have experienced this. Found this on another blogger post..

Hi Kiran,

I came across your blog and want to share one problem i am having with the nexus device. I am using a vodafone sim and have enabled 2g on my phone. Although the net works fine but there is a problem of delayed connecivity and slow internet speed. I can tell that since i have another phone samsung galaxy s duos and that also have a vodafone sim.

Some problems i face are:

1. When i open whatsapp it shows the last online time after some delay…like 20-30 seconds but my galaxy s duos shows it instantly.

2. Also when i am browing pages take longer time to load and gets stuck quite often which doesnt happen on my galaxy.

Please let me know if u face such issues and let me know if u can check it from your end.

Thanks and Regards,

I suspect it has something to do with the frequency band setting on the phone. Checked my setting and it was set to "WCDMA preferred"
