lost Butter

For me the phone got laggy.

1) The shutoff TV animation is inconsistent. It should smoothly transition to a thin sliver and shutoff. But now it sometimes goes to a much thicker white rectangle before shutting off.

2) I've noticed that if am multitasking with a few apps, there is a stutter when transitioning between tasks.

3)And launchers that was smooth is no longer.

4) Lockscreen music widgets doesn't seem to work anymore. Quadrant score dropped. Now it is in the high 4,000 where before it was in the low 6's.

These are my current observations. I got the ota last night.

There are improvements but I lost my BUTTER ;(
[Nexus 4 General] maddoggin:
That's really weird cause I never had not one data drop on 4.2.1 and now I'm getting them 2 3 times a day with new update
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
I'm noticing weaker radio signals than before. I was getting 1-2 bars of edge at work, and now it's constantly at zero. The first day I received the update, I was down to 40% within the first two hours of work.

On top of that, I actually didn't have an issue with wakelock with 4.2.1, but now I have that issue. I'm tempted to wipe everything and start new, but having to set up passwords and all just seems like a pain in the ass.
[Nexus 4 General] Basmatek:
Did anyone take identical screenshots before and after the update so we can compare the colors on a computer screen? I think my whites are a little better now but a can't tell for sure.
[Nexus 4 General] trainerKEN:
I notice Photo Sphere works better now... before 4.2.2 whenever I use Photo Sphere, it would take several attempts... there would always be one spot that was soft or out of focus OR, an area wouldn't be stitched right (lines off, buildings staggered etc etc)

this was first attempt today and looks pretty sharp all around
[Nexus 4 General] Noctus Nosfuratsu:
I have noticed that my phone can't connect 2.4 GHz network (checked auto on advanced network of course). Once it connects, it instantly disconnects. Luckily I have a dual band router :P
[Nexus 4 General] eiriklf:
Seems I'm the only one who would consider running benchmarks to see if performance has improved. I had a hard time finding any big performance changes except for the thermal throttling issues, which seem to have been fixed. That problem we know was caused by quallcomms power management, so I don't think Google made any big performance improvements themselves.
[Nexus 4 General] planoman:
I think the Nexus 4 can only connect to 2.4 GHz networks?
[Nexus 4 General] clintb:
Nope, it does 5 GHz as well..

Plano, my hometown!
[Nexus 4 General] wilsonlam97:
Battery life is so much better. I have 4h and 18m of screen time right now and it still has 27% of battery left. My phone's been away from the charger for 9.5 hours now.

So much better than 4.2.1

I can finally get through a day of use.
[Nexus 4 General] osi13:
I stayed on the stock kernel for a day and a half before re-flashing Franco's with Paranoid Android 3.0. It seems like battery life is a bit better than on 4.2.1 . My phone lasted 27 hours with three hours and twenty minutes of screen time. This was with a mix of 3g/WiFi, and with an extension registered via CSipSimple (TCP transport - 500s keep alive) at all times. I was pretty impressed actually. However, I've hit 34 hours of battery life with 4 hours on screen time with Franco's kernel on 4.2.1. Nevertheless, battery life does seem to be a bit improved on 4.2.2.

What bothers me is that Google still has not addressed the poor quality Bluetooth audio. My Galaxy Nexus sounds a lot better while using A2DP, as does my HTC Jewel. Also, I'm shocked that Synaptics hasn't released a new driver for the digitizer. All of the other devices I own are much more sensitive. Including my crappy HTC Shooter. Even the older driver for our device is more sensitive, but it has ghosting issues. I'd say it's about time for an update.
[Nexus 4 General] ugene1980:
Bettery's way better now and its very obvious!

(On par or better, as using Franco kernel on 4.2.1)
[Nexus 4 General] heydae3:
rests on H

I have Phone Signal Notifier on my phone that gives you signal strength on dBm ,percentage and signal type.

What I have noticed is that the phone rests on H (which I am going to assume is 3g). But then jumps to H+ (4g?) when a task is activated such browsing or using the Google Play market.

The problem is I notice is that the ping is delayed when in H. I tested this several times with the Speedtest app. If you retest while in H+, the ping is very fast. However, the phone reverts to H quickly, giving you slow pings once again.

The Up and Down results are about the same.

Just thinking with this tenancy to rest on H, data speeds are slow to start, hence a slower browsing experience etc...

Thoughts on this?

Am I being too nit picky?

PING WHEN STARTED ON H

PING ON H+
[Nexus 4 General] IAIRonI:
I never really had a problem with performance or battery so they seem similar to me. I will say that the screen looks a bit better, the change is minimal though. My friend has an N4 as well and he hasn;t received the update yet so I turned each phones screen brightness all the way up and opened things like settings and chrome browser and went to the same web page and it looked slightly better.
[Nexus 4 General] keijikage:
That is always how it is... this is to save power by not keeping the radio powered up the whole time. This is why lte "feels" snappier when the current up and down speeds are very similar.
[Nexus 4 General] IAIRonI:
Oh yeah I forgot to mention something. Is it just me or is sound a lot louder. I haven't played anything through the aux yet but just through the speaker it seems much louder
[Nexus 4 General] Triune:
My battery life is significantly better and overall performance is slightly better. Good update. Can't wait for KLP.
[Nexus 4 General] osi13:
It's definitely not over A2DP.
[Nexus 4 General] heydae3:
Ahhh.

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 General] Simmo3D:
Since I did a fresh 4.2.2 flash (completely stock and locked) my battery life has improved at least 2-3x. I have charged the phone about 24 hours ago with medium use and its still around 40 percent. So happy now.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Also noticed my data connection no longer freezes randomly. Working fine with no drop outs so far
[Nexus 4 General] kalipedia:
I have a very weird issue since the update which is that even when the phone is on silent, occasionally when i press back or home or app drawer i hear a little sound. Anyone else? It's totally inconsistent too. Might drive me nuts pretty quickly...
[Nexus 4 General] wilsonlam97:
The phones have been dual-band since the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] samcrocr:
Agreed its stitching the pics without blurs:D
[Nexus 4 General] nature1:

[Nexus 4 General] beegbear:
It now shows the photosphere stitching progress in the notification bar. Unless It always did that and I haven't noticed.
[Nexus 4 General] shankesh:
Nothing much in performance....mine has better standby time....during night standby it consumed only 2 percent for 8hrs...
[Nexus 4 General] jeeholim:
I have that too! I didn't know how to describe it, so I didn't mention it anywhere. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one having that problem.

AW: 4.2.2 Performance & Impressions

To all people they have issues after the update I'd consider to do a factory reset or even better reflash the stock 4.2.2 image. This methods solved allways my problems :D
[Nexus 4 General] sdb13:
Is volume louder through aux?
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
+1 Clean factory image install is way better and than updating with OTA`s.
[Nexus 4 General] JamesRC:
Much better battery life here. Fewer wake locks and so lower idle drain. Also now stays connected to wifi properly.

Uptime 35 hours, 78% left.

I don't think anything was done on the screen contrast. I do notice that the screen is slightly brighter now when set on auto brightness.
[Nexus 4 General] bubbleguuum:
- screen colors seems to be better (could be placebo)

- Jack sound output seems to be louder

- auto-brightness now actually works very well and I do not need to set brightness manually anymore
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
"My eyes are bad I can not see.....................specs with me"

Only joking, but personally I think the difference between 421 and 422 quality is a large one. Not so much colour wise, but clarity is much better, like the fog has been lifted.
[Nexus 4 General] samcrocr:
Yeah i took this one at the square. Lol I'm in Lafayette avenue
[Nexus 4 General] verbkpf82:
definite battery improvement here
[Nexus 4 General] xzr3b0rnzx:
On cm 10.1 4.2.2 with new baseband:

WiFi reception improved!

Super snappy! (Compared to 4.2.1)

Slight improvement on battery life!
[Nexus 4 General] TMSsecret:
Batterylife greatly improved with at stock ROM and locked bootloader. At least x2 battery
[Nexus 4 General] hohoXD1233:
I'm getting an error whenever I download/update anything from the Play store after the 4.2.2 update, anyone else get this?
[Nexus 4 General] jsf-:
I had the same error. I cleared the app data and cache for the Play Store application and the Google Services Framework process. I then rebooted and it all worked fine.
[Nexus 4 General] hohoXD1233:
Yeah I did that too but it doesn't seem to fix it
[Nexus 4 General] beegbear:
I thought my phone was doing well after the update.. But after updating and factory resetting, its much better! Its amazing how much slower my phone got over the course of a month of moderate usage.

[Nexus 4 General] vickpick:
really? my jack sounds quieter :/
[Nexus 4 General] erikiksaz:
I upgraded my GF's N4 to 4.2.2, and chrome's scrolling is noticeably smoother. It feels akin to the difference between no project butter and project butter on the galaxy nexus, almost.

As for colors, I immediately flashed PA's colors kernel, so I didn't get a chance to look for changes. I'll probably flash the stock kernel over it again to see the diff.
[Nexus 4 General] jonnyb16:
My WiFi is still stalling out, connects just fine but after using it for a while it starts to slow down and then just stops working. All the while showing that I have a good connection.

I'm enjoying every part of this phone except this one issue.

Oh, running stock everything, rooted.
[Nexus 4 General] Android802:
Ive had 4.2.2 on my phone for a couple of days now and I love it! The battery life is great and bluetooth finally works 100% of the time. It seems smother and the phone seems to run better than before. The fact that it killed the LTE capability doesnt matter to me one bit. I happy with my HSPA+ speeds.
[Nexus 4 General] CrazyPeter:
Significant improvement in battery life. I was already happy, so REALLY happy with the N4's battery life now.

Phone feels smoother too, it was already very smooth, but feels like some additional tweaks to filesystem performance were done.

Just need the wifi sleep fix and I will be totally satisfied that I have the best phone on the marketr.
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
I've noticed that native cropping in photos is greatly improved! Before you could only crop in the shape of a rectangle (the screen resolution?) Now you can crop properly as it was meant to be.
[Nexus 4 General] :
My battery has decreased substantially since 4.2.2, especially on mobile networks...
[Nexus 4 General] genrl:
I'm very impressed with it. I had piss poor battery on 4.2.1 until I used franco kernels. Was on 4.2.2 stock for 2 days and things have vastly improved over .1. Back on franco r82 and still happy as ever.
[Nexus 4 General] feelfreetoblameme:
Battery life has definitely improved for me (the well-documented msim_wakelock issue was my main problem). Other than that, everything is normal except for something odd that just happened. I have an old charger from an LG flip phone that I sometimes use near my desk to charge my phone. It has worked perfectly fine for charging the Nexus. I just plugged it in when the battery was at 70% and within a few minutes the phone said it was charged. I took it off the battery and for a minute or so it still said charged and then suddenly dropped to 70%. Charging it now on its own charger and seems fine. Odd experience.

Nexus 4, running 4.2.2, rooted, all stock except recovery.
[Nexus 4 General] subxero123:
Meh, still don't have any issues with 4.2.1 everything works for me, not giving up LTE
[Nexus 4 General] fairlight2x:
Battery seems to drain the same as 4.2.1. Got 17,019 in Antutu with 4.2.1, with 4,2.2 around 17,900 to 18,000. Still nothing compared to custom kernels though.
[Nexus 4 General] PRObin:
Battery life didn't change as far as I noticed.

I'm facing a problem though:

I flashed TWRP (custom recovery) with the Toolkit when I was still on 4.2.1. I flashed 4.2.2 and SuperSU right after that with TWRP. Now when I choose recovery, I only get an android logo with a red warning sign from his "internals". Do I have to wait for the toolkit to update to 4.2.2 or can I flash TWRP again for 4.2.1? Other tips would be appreciated.

Since I only have 4 posts now, I can't ask this in the Toolkit thread...

Conclusion: No changes found except my custom recovery failure.
[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
Battery life isn't too major an issue for me as I understand how powerful devices like these tend to suck up battery something fierce, but I am happy to report that my former issue with connecting to our office WiFi has been fixed. Could be the new radio in the update,or something else in the code but I'm liking the update so far. Also noticed less heating up when browsing through mobile network. Just wish they'd hurry up and release it 100% into AOSP so developers can start working on it. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:

[Nexus 4 General] MrBelter:
overnight mine hits deep sleep ok and loses 1% per 4 hours standby.
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
Was looking to make post about this. I just came out of a 32 floor building with elevators in the center. Which usually meant no signal, especially on T-Mobile. But I was surprised when looking at my phone for the time, expecting no signal, seeing it switching between 3G and H with 2-3 bars going down from the 11th floor.
[Nexus 4 General] MadFerIt2011:
I've definitely noticed a sizeable increase in battery life on stock rom/kernel. Msm_hsic_host wakelocks have been reduced considerably, I used to have overnight approx. 80% deep sleep with hsic_host taking up 10% of all wakelocks.. I now have 90% deep sleep and hsic only uses 2.5%.

In the real-world this translates to maybe 15-20% more battery life if the phone is idle for long periods. Not too shabby, I'm sure it'll be even better once we have decent 4.2.2 custom roms/kernels.
[Nexus 4 General] trees247:

Update from 4.2 to 4.2.2.

After 4.2.2 update.

Performance Improved in Crome Browser. pages loading fast.

In 4.2 Magicjack App drained lot of battery, after updating it to 4.2.2 it was reduced to almost 50%.

Now i am getting 4 - 5 hours more Battery compared to earlier 4.2 . (May be becoz of Magic jack app)

After reaching home i am putting my phone to plane mode and wifi on.

with this setting i am getting almost 2 to 2.5 days backup.

Issues:

Google Wallet missing in APPS.

Radio signal Issues.

Phone Start up takes almost 2 - 3 mins some times 5 mins.

Gtalk diconnects after screen off, After opening the app it takes 1 - 2 mins to load the contacts.

Removes LTE option ... just plain stupid.
[Nexus 4 General] jhock:
I haven't noticed many differences yet except that my phone gets crazy hot during normal browsing since the update. The rear glass is so hot that it is uncomfortable to the touch.

Might try a factory reset to see if that makes a difference. I suppose that will give me a good excuse to root it too.
[Nexus 4 General] guitarofozz:
Do you realize this phone was never meant to have LTE?

Do you realize the fact that you could access it was a bonus?

Do you realize Google/LG could get fined heavily if they continued to allow LTE access?

Do you realize an OTA update is completely voluntary?

Did you know you can return to 4.2.1 if you'd like?

Removing LTE IS stupid, but at least there are ways to get it back.

[Nexus 4 General] reuthermonkey:
That's been the case on T-Mobile since they rolled out their 3g network, and it's coupled with a bug in the Speedtest.net app. As soon as data actually begins moving, you'll go to H(SPA)+. Until then you'll stick to 3g(UMTS) or now, apparently, H(SDPA). Either way, when you need the data you'll get it, and if you're keeping a data session open (lets say you're connecting to a server via SSH) you're getting HSPA+ quality latency and data throughput. The problem with the Speedtest.net app is that while it's running its ping test, it doesn't send enough data to kick your device into HSPA+. So the ping you're seeing is on the base UMTS(3g) network, or the Speedtest.net app simply timing out (1500ms+ pings). The Speedtest.net app is not infallible. In fact, it's quite flawed, and it's a shame that Ookla refuses to update it.

It's like sitting in a Ferrari at a red light. You could put the car in neutral and keep your foot on the gas peddle with the engine rev'd up for the instant the light turns green. You'll waste gas (ie battery for HSPA+) doing that, but you'll always have the best response. Alternatively you could put your car in neutral, take your foot off the gas and put it on the brake. It might take you a short bit longer to accelerate, but you won't waste so much gas, and once you actually start going you'll accelerate just as quick. T-Mobile radios typically keep your device on "3g" (UMTS) because it's best for battery life, and doesn't waste your battery during small background data events (ie when most email gets pushed to your phone). The trade-off is that your phone needs to see a good amount of data throughput before it'll kick up to HSPA+. In contrast, ATT leaves it's devices connected to the highest possible data network whenever possible, which has demonstrable (albeit relatively small) battery life impact.

Hi!

What about camera? It is focus quicker? Photo quality has increased?

Thank you
[Nexus 4 General] MayekMM:
Photo quality and shutter speed are IMO unchanged in 4.2.2. Battery life is indeed much longer, I had roughly 2 days of usage with 3h screen on, mostly Wifi connection...

You misunderstood. I'm referring to the internal SDCard(a partition on the int mem). Factory reset won't touch the data you save on the user storage.

I've yet to get a notification for the update. How long should this take? I've got an N4 and an N7 and neither have updated yet.

How long does this update take and when will Google be finished pushing it out to North America? I ask because it seems I'll be the very last person to get it and was wondering when to start worrying that something is wrong.
