Amongst many android phones, N4 is one of the most lag free devices. When I tried Note 2 for the first time, I was kinda shocked by the delay between each action.

However, in my opinion, Android is still lacking in term of smoothness compared to iOS. It's not only about how many cores the processor have or the memory size, it's all about optimization. Now before people start to "burn me alive", I still prefer N4 to iPhone 5..LoL.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
+1. I do agree, N4 is a really great device. Stable, smooth, powerful. My favourite device currently. But, compared to iOS, Android is still not yet there in terms of smoothness. Specs don't matter too much, but iOS is really optimized for all the Apple devices, contributing to its smoothness.

Sorry my friend, no lag here. Only time when my n4 stutters is for couple of seconds when it's booted up. And sometimes, but rarely, when I'm super fast scrolling through widget area. Never experienced lag in multitasking (with many apps opened), app drawer is incredibly smooth all the time, and just looking at my girlfriend's gs3 makes me wanna cry, cause opening gallery, dialer, messages, anything, is in the 90% of cases laggy. Same thing with s4, even though it's a power house, bloatware and heaviness of touchwiz is killing it. Didn't have a chance to play with HTC one, but for now, Nexus 4 is closest to perfection. Again, in my case.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forever_lol:
I am not referring to any of the posts above in particular. My few thoughts.

N4 is in general very smooth and I am very satisfied with it. However there's also quite a room to improve. I definitely disagree that app drawer is incredibly smooth. In my opinion app drawer in ICS/JB stock launcher is an optimization failure. First fast swipe (open app drawer and immediately swipe left) is always stuttering, swiping in widget tab also happens to be choppy. To be honest Galaxy Nexus with its obsolete dual-core tiomap and really ****ty gpu provides exactly the same swiping experience (it's also very smooth in general but it stutters in the same places). It's not like I cannot sleep because of that but none will convince me that google is incapable to eliminate this stuttering (it looks quite ok in Nova). I don't mind little lag in third party apps but stock launcher is firmware's face and it should be just perfect.

Also I don't agree that touchwiz slows the device down so much. My friend's galaxy S3 with its old architecture exynos 4 (quad 1,4 ghz, + 1 gb ram - international variant) boots and opens apps slightly faster than my n4 with its more modern and theoretically significantly faster snapdragon pro and pure android. I admit that scrolling experience is smoother on my N4 though.

And last thing, Nothing personal, but judging people on the basis of their choice of mobile phones ( = electronic gadgets, toys) makes you look either childish or mentally deficient. Not to mention that by doing this you become the same fanboy like those you criticize with such passion.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Zel:
Other phones have 2 gb of ram and a 1.5 ghz quad core chip, but the experience is different from phone to phone, I think :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
And some people don't realize that iOS is bloated with slow animations behind which the lag is hidden.

I don't have any lag on my stock nexus4, any, not a single hickup. make me a list of things to do, places where you find lag and i will record a video for everyone who say they see lag.. Either you're experimenting too much with different setups, or you might have a deffective device.

P.s. i use nova launcher prime as my stock, i never get blank widgets even when scrolling like a maniac and trying to initiate any lag. Entering/exiting apps, the same thing...

If by lag you mean hickups in facebook app and such, then address the issue to the app developer. if g+ can be incredibley smooth, so can fb or any other app when done right.

As i said, make a list and i will put my phone to test on video.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forever_lol:
N4 is no doubt a great phone, and after 2 weeks of usage I haven't honestly found anything so irritating that would make me wanna return it. You can of course notice occasional stutter but it's due to android optimization and not hardware limitation. I think N4 is not the best example of what good optimization means since differences in smoothness between N4 and oem flagships like S4 or One are not that huge (all of them run JB and are hardware beasts). But let's take a look at Galaxy Nexus running JB 4.1.2 (or even 4.2.2) and compare it to let's say Samsung Galaxy S2 running ICS CM9 (4.0.4). It's basically heaven and earth. Galaxy Nexus doesn't have impressive specs (gpu was exactly the same as on Nexus S - released in 2010!!!) but still provides great user experience. It's been often compared to S3 or One X. That's amazing.

And N4 which is incomparably more powerful... can be much much more than that! There are rumors about google's huge progress on optimization field (that KLP should fly on 512 mb ram...etc). If the rumors turn out to be true nexus line will be the first to get the optimization goodness anyway. We'll see. I am an optimist and looking forward to firmware updates!

Yeah I wish it was that easy explanation :) The real reason behind the difference in smoothness is the level of optimization and.... JVM on the top of android which is known to be well not that fast. First of all in case of iphone we're talking about one chip (one set of hardware). Android world is by far more fragmented. There are different chips like: qualcom, nvidia, samsung exynos, (also the most open hw, but no longer active in mobile industry) ti-omap. It's easier to optimize software for one hardware configuration. Then Java Virtual Machine on the top of android...has its advantages but unfortunately also its disadvantages (performance).

Another thing....multitasking in android and iOS...Do they really have multitasking there? But hold on for a second...I've seen iphones affected by laggy scrolling too. Not sure if it wasn't wasup app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
mate, i wasn't born yesterday :D you're just stating what everybody over here knows. by "slow animations" i was referring to transition and window animations.

this is the part that i would like to know, where do you see the stutter ? in what part of the OS ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forever_lol:
Then forgive misunderstanding. :) Still custom transitions can indeed cover lag but not eliminate it totally.

I've already posted. Stock launcher - application drawer - especially widget tab, but even first fast swipe in app tab. There's nothing wrong with my device. I had the same choppiness in exactly the same places on my gnexus. It's clearly optimization thing. I know it looks better on Nova Launcher - I use it also sometimes. Guys from Tesla did really good job there.

Third party apps....it's indeed their developers' thing (like for example xda premium app - without gpu rendering on is choppy as hell).

Have you tried to read big pdfs and pinch to zoom without forcing gpu rendering? On the other hand g+ which is silky smooth even on middle range devices.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alicklee:
Hey I say get it but make sure you get the 16gb model cause apps and music and if you take photos will fill it up fast. I do notice though when the phone gets down to 1gb if storage left it does lag sometimes. Other then that I had never had any problem with it. O yeah get pa3 with halo its awesome :) love the multitasking halo switch:)

Sent from my blazing fast nexus 4 in PA3 o yeah baby this phone is awesome
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
yes i can confirm i had the first swipe choppiness in app drawer on the galaxy nexus, it used to annoy the hell out of me, but i can't seem to replicate it neither on my nex4 or nex7, and trust me i've tried.

as for blank widgets when scrolling fast in widget tab, as i said i use nova, and it's hard to induce it, maybe i don't have a lot of widget-apps installed in comparison to others around here, i don't know..

i was always skeptical about third party launchers, but i must admit nova really surprised me (i guess apex should be the same).

my scrolling speed is set to "faster than light" , and Animation speed on "fast". there is no delay even when opening the recent apps tab.

yes i use force gpu rendering, and i don't know why it's not a stock standard, a lot of devs have it turned ON by default in their roms. but the option is there even on stock rom, so i don't see why using it would not be counted as a "fully" stock experience.

when it comes to pdfs , ya, it also depends on what app you're opening the file in, some are smoother and quicker than others, but generally, i think you can't open big pdf files on any mobile (on any platform) without facing slowdowns. i even see it on my quad/8GB RAM PC

p.s. i'm still surprised you get the first swipe stutter in app drawer, i thought it was a part of the past by now..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forever_lol:
I completely agree. I use that option too, and I don't see a point why I wouldn't do that.

Because It doesn't always happen :) It's not that evident as on galaxy nexus. As I said before it's really small thing, nothing to cry about :) It happens usually when you launch the application drawer for the first time (after some time of standby) and then instantly swipe. It looks like the opening animation isn't done yet when you try to swipe left simultaneously - feels like one animation overlaps another - hence the jitter. But if you do it again even immediately you most probably won't see any lag at all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fensterbank:
I have 100 Apps installed, and I have to say that it isnt smooth at all. There are many laggs if you scroll through the app drawer, furthermore there are small laggs when you scroll through the home screen, if there are enaugh widgets.

Yes Apps like Tapatalk really suck on scrolling. On the iPhone Tapatalk is a bit more smoother. Seems to be a android problem (or App problem).

you are a fanboy.

I can just aggree.

And by the way: Why the posts of AIDAKU got deleted?

Yes, its the bad truth. I just cant believe that some people say, tapatalk or the play store is smooth, I mean: What the hell? Did you guys never used a iPhone or a windowsphone? I mean, yes, the nexus is for a android phone very smooth, but its NOTHING against a windowsphone or iPhone in terms of smoothness. And please dont let it make to a ****storm iOS vs android, I just say in TERMS OF SMOOTHNESS Android is the worst I have ever used, but the best in customization and features, so dont understand it false.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forever_lol:
Yeah, fanboism is a dangerous phenomenon no matter on which side of the barricade. It's a cultic thinking either way.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fensterbank:

Just look at this post for example http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42552460&postcount=52 I mean its just the truth what AIDAKU wrote. Use a Nokia Lumia 820 or a iPhone for a while, and then tell me the Nexus 4 is smooth. You wont do it.

I can just repete myselfe: Android is good in much things, but in terms of smoothness its like windows xp. But anyway, in my opinion the nexus 4 is one of the smoothest android phones I have ever used. The HTC One and the lg optimus g are mostly same smooth as the nexus.

But one thing more: I noticed that the Chrome browser on the nexus 4 really sucks on scrolling and pinch-to-zoom like I thought we are in the year 2000, but on the lg optimus g its smooth. I dont know why.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forever_lol:
Actually I agree with you on many points. I don't find anything inappropriate in the quoted post. That's what discussions boards are for. Pinch to zoom on Chrome sucks compared to aosp or next browser.

Omg I'm not fanboy or anything like but what you're describing is nothing like experience I have with my n4. Sry but I can't agree with you when I'm not experienced lags you have, I simply don't. If performance of your n4 is similar to xp, that's not normal. I used Lumia 920, and my friend has iPhone 5. Those phones don't have true multitasking so you can't compare them to android. N4 is more smartphone than any iPhone or windows phone and still matches their speed. I'm competent enough to say this cause I used all three phones.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fensterbank:
So you dont have laggs on Tapatalk, facebook, chrome, play store and app drawer? Sorry, but I HAVER NEVER seen a smooth Tapatalk or facebook on android, while its smooth on the iPhone (ok tapatalk is even on the iPhone not 100% smooth, but smoother then on Android). Or go with the chrome browser to a site like phonearena.com and scroll and pinch-to-zoom, and then do the same with the iPhone and then tell me its smooth on the nexus. And furthermore when you scroll between home screens in the iPhone its just smooth, while when you scroll on the Nexus 4 between the widgets/app fast, there is some stuttering. And windows phone and iOS has multitasking, its just that some apps on windows phone are not optimized. And iphone has since iOS 7 also real multitasking, but that doesnt matter, because even when you close all apps on the nexus, its still laggy. I dont beliefe you haver ever really used a lumia 920 or an iphone 5, you are just parrot some things, what you have heard. I guess you are lying about "I used all three phones".
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
you know what's the problem guys, android gives us so much room for modifying and tweaking, and even if we all used our phones in the same way (which we don't) , every single one of us would have a different user experience due to the different setup we run.

People should also understand that there is no device/platform that suits everyone, especially among android phones, there is no "1 phone/setup fits all".

Keeping that in mind, some people find iphones to give the best user experience, others see the same thing in samsung's galaxy S series, etc.. following that concept, i can say with full confidence, that my phone with the setup i'm currently running, is for me more efficient and smoother than any iphone or samsung galaxy S, or whatever phone that exists out there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
+1 the above is very true, not everyone will use even half the benefits android has over other platforms and many will cry and complain that their device doesn't meet their expectations. Really you need to at least somewhat understand what you can do and how to do it to enjoy your phone fully

Having said that, a novice should by in large find the nexus 4 amazing and should suit all basic needs, and for those who understand a lot about android it will be close to perfect. Those in between seem to be the ones who complain the most, those who root because they heard its cool, those who flash some random script, some malicious app, those who dive in head first but don't really understand....

I have maybe 60 some apps as I only install what I need and have never seen this phone lag, but it is set up specifically for my use
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defffizz:

Stickin to the OP...

Been runnin' rooted stock since the Nexus 4 was released in November. No reformats or whatever... At the moment, I have exactly 189 apps on my device and is running smoothly. You won't regret buying a Nexus, even though it's 6+ months old. This is the longest I've stuck with a single device!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonseye:
I've been running this baby since a little more than three weeks now. Fast, smooth, Not anything to say against it. Got 171 apps as of now, counting System apps. I'm running Rooted, odexed stock, and everything runs smoothly, without any problem.

About iPhones : they may be smooth but they lack customizability. Easy to optimize something that will never change. Android can change because the user wants it to, by using custom Roms, kernels, mods, themes... iphones can't. so you can't really say that... Same goes for WPhones. Closed environments make it easier to optimize everything.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fensterbank:
Hm a few weeks ago I restored my phone to the factory settings, but apps like the play store ran still bad (AND the chrome browser, the bad performance of chrome was the reason why I restored). Also scrolling in the app-drawer wasnt smooth at all. I dont think that a lot of apps makes the phone so laggy ("from time to time"), its just the lack of optimization.
