[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrone:
hello sberla54,

i gave up. i gave samsung galaxy s4, samsung galaxy s3, samsung galaxy note2, lge optimus g, and oppo find 5 a try on local store nearby, all produced stuttering when opening, switching, leaving, or closing some apps and in to and out to app drawer.

the solution for my nexus 4 is to disable animation all off. never see the hiccups, jank, stutter, or whatever it is called here. as for the choppy scrolling, only in some apps it is occurred. recent updated g+ and chrome app have bring back the buttery smooth scrolling.

i guess overall android system and apps are not fully optimized for multicore soc (cpu and gpu), the UI is handled in the main thread which is still using single thread to do everything from UI rendering, fetching data from internet and storage, and all do the work there. We need to have higher clock single core to render the UI smoothly, unlike ios which uses the opengl gpu all the time to render the UI while the cpu might do other queued job.

i bet moto x will have better overall smoothness on UI rendering compared other high end android device due to the single thread advantage and the newly introduce flash friendly file system aka f2fs which making all the data writing in serial queueing hence less pressure on emmc iops.

the regrouping, merging, and improved multithread execution on the graphic rendering department introduced on android 4.3 are welcome. could not wait for the reduced overdraw in next version of Android. hope it will get rid all of the animation/scrolling jank, stutter, choppy, or lag. *finger crossed*

update:

i felt slower and less responsive if rooted with superuser by koush for stock android 4.3 rom. i got poor battery life when rooted with supersu by chainfire, the android system or os, forgot which one, keep the phone awake for most of the time, but overall experience was smoother and more responsive on supersu by chainfire. i'm using pure stock android 4.3 unrooted right now. :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sberla54:
Well, when i was using unrooted stock Android 4.3 my phone was simply perfect!

I will try to come back to locked bootloader, unrooted phone and re-flash stock, than maybe i will try to root again with another procedure.

Thank you anyway!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrone:
Don't forget battery temperature plays important role too regarding system responsiveness. Once it hits certain temperatures it starts the soc starts to throttle.

I live in tropical country where no where near air conditioning for most of all time. My battery temperature average is 38-40C. Perhaps that causing the stuttering. Cpu throttles down to 1Ghz and I guess the gpu too to 200Mhz. Haha *sigh

I wish N4 has better heat dissipating hardware. I watched n7 2013 has the ability to go way up 90C then it shuts down, while n4 only ups to 60C. :P

Battery temperature is 30.5 and goes maximum at 40 or 45 when i'm using GPS + InDrive + Google Music and i've got the phone on the desk of my car. The same values i had before rooting :)

I don't have any roms in my SD card. and I'm in recovery with nothing to flash. So my phone is pretty useless. Is there a way I can do something to get a rom on my phone to flash it somehow?

You can use adb to push a ROM to your phone. Setup adb first, then boot into recovery, and use the following command:

adb push NameOfRom.zip /sdcard/

guys, I am having a problem.

I had 4.3 previous build and wanted to get the latest stock rom on my N4. I installed 4.3 Y build by flashing stock img through nexus 4 Toolkit. Everything went well, but I cannot get root rights. I installed latest TWRP through adb (it works fine), but when I install SuperSU 1.6 binary, it does not appear among the apps. If I install the app from the Play Market, it constantly force closes, when trying to open superSU or open app, which requests root rights.I managed to get into superSU app and perform full unroot, without it phone works normally.

Any help?

Anyone else running into battery drain issues with a rooted Stock 4.2.2 JDQ39 Rom with SuperSu 16.5 lately ?

Started for me a couple days ago, manifests itself just like the battery drain issues on 4.3 Roms - play services & System android having way to high battery use percentages and when checking with betterbatterystats you can see that the phone just doesn't go into deepsleep.

Has there been a google play services update around the 26.-27. September ?

I "fixed" it by uninstalling google play services update and running the stock version - but this throws all sorts of error messages in google maps/camera etc. requesting an google play services update - So I also had to uninstall google maps, google+ etc updates. ://

Far from ideal..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stoffl_:
Huh..interesting...can't find the google play services update in the play store anymore.

Don't know if my phone is broken or what.

Running all stock right now, not root or anything, I've had it for about 3-4 weeks.

The phone turns the airplane mode on by itself, and the clock resets from showing a 24h clock but an american 12h instead. Also there is a weird "buzz" or "static", "crackling" sound always coming from the front speaker (which you use for phonecalls). It also reboots now and then, maybe once or twice a week.

Should I return it, is it hardware failure or is it android 4,3 which is broken? Thought google could optimize their on software for their own phones. I haven't any app installed that mess with wifi, power modes or anything "automatic" thing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
You could flash the factory images from here : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66y , and see if the problems persist.

How loud is the static noise from the speaker?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baxtex:
Can I flash them in the stock recovery?

Pretty loud, if I'm going to bed and all is quiet, it's noticable from about 40-50cm away.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
You flash them by using the "Flash-all.bat" executable. But this will wipe the whole phone (Including storage). You will need fastboot drivers installed:

http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/

That's pretty loud. If the factory images don't solve anything, then I would return the phone.

Nexus 4 stuck in No Command bootloop after Kit Kat OTA update

So, my phone was stuck in No Command bootloop. I’ve done the power+volume up and had cleared cache and even done a factory reset. Those did nothing and my phone is still in stuck No Command loop. I think I’ve made it even worse by trying to Flash Recovery and Reboot options in the Nexus Tool Kit because my phone won’t even get to the No Command screen.

Reboot + Mobile Access Problems

Hello XDA Community,

I'm having a very similar Problem to jamj00. I waited for the Android 4.4 Update to come out oficially cause I didn't want to have any problems with it. 3 Days ago I got my OTA Update Notification.

Then yesterday all the trouble started with not having mobile Internet Access. Well, thats not a big deal I thought and restarted my Nexus 4. Since them Im having real trouble with getting it started. The "Google" Logo appears for 5 secs, after that those 4 colored dots are just jumping arround and jumping arround and .....

It needs at least 20 forced reeboots to get it started. And when it starts, I can't Call or Text anyone. It's not my SIM Card thats not working, I know for sure. I did 2 factory resets but the problems are still there

Now I used the Factory Image Method to re install Android 4.4. but the 2 Problems (Restart + Mobile Access) are still there. So I donwgraded to Android 4.3 (using Factory Image) but it still won't start up (and when it starts up after 20-30 reboots, Im still not able to text, receive texts or call/receive calls)

Any other ideas that might help?
