As days pass by, 4.3 starts to shape up as a bad release. Maybe it's great on the new nexus 7, but not as great when it comes to LG's hardware.

Random restarts, google apps occasionally crashing (as well as other's), wifi still fails...

Rather disappointing.
[Nexus 4 General] Dimple101:
Ah, i am not the only one having problems with 4.3.
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
At my end too games on 4.3 were stuttering and frames were dropping. I thought may b i did something wrong. May b i flashed it in a wrong way. I m back to 4.22. Everythn seems fine now. Using CM 10.1.2.

I tried temple run 2, subway surfers, dead trigger.

Will try 4.3 again after few weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] Galaxo60:
Hope someone would be kind enough to some feedback:

You should know that last Google Maps update messed up the deep sleep state of the system.

I´m running Carbon ROM, but also tested with other 2 ROM´s and the results were the same, around 20%-25% battery drain over night.

I read that disabling "Reporting Location" and "Location History" under Location settings in the Google Settings app(the one with the green icon) helps a little, but still is an issue.

With these settings disabled, I get around 5% battery drain over night. Although the wakelock has decreased, is still there waking up the device. Already reported to Google to see if they can do anything to fix it. The wakelock appears as "Google Services".

Before update I had around 3% battery drain over night(around 8 hours) with WiFi.

Is this still appears on 4.3 or does it a Maps problem with 4.2.2?

Thanks

:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] SmXtrem:
i have no drain from google maps
[Nexus 4 General] fernandezhjr:
I have none of those. With Google's security change, I do have some apps that are affected, making them buggy or non functional. Other than that I have denoted a couple of annoying bugs, like notifications disabled for apps not applying on reboot and the music widget remaining stuck on the lock screen.
[Nexus 4 General] Galaxo60:
It appears as Google Services.

I'm glad I read this thread, if gaming performance will take such a large hit with the 4.3 update I'm staying with 4.2 for now. Modern Combat 4 runs like a dream on my N4... I don't wanna risk my nexus 4's gpu performance!!

[Nexus 4 General] markwid:
Back to 4.2.2

Yep, feel the same way here. I have abandoned 4.3 today and restored 4.2.2 backup onto the N4.

I think will only try 4.3.1 when it comes out.
[Nexus 4 General] wideasleep1:
Still, many of these bugs are apps that simply need updating to cure whatever FC/glitch they've acquired...Apex got solved, Netflix is getting fixed, etc.....just normal growing pains. If your phone isn't mission critical, go ahead and update/tweak...if it is (business,etc.)...best to wait it out a while. ;)

Anyone else getting a none clear image when setting wallpaper in gallery? I can set a clean HD wallpaper nicely with other wallpaper setting apps like nova..

Power button works perfect on 4.2.2
[Nexus 4 General] Jhonb:
You mentioned NetFlix.....I have used it twice since the upgrade and each time, I hit the sleep button and both times I could not wake the phone up. Had to hold the power button for long periods of time to get the phone to reboot.

Is this the problem with netflix that you say is getting fixed?

Edit: Just did a Google search and I see that this is a know issue. I hope it is fixed soon.
[Nexus 4 General] fernandezhjr:
Would someone test this for me? I have been unable to resolve this. Play a song in Play Music and then clear the queue. The only way I find to exit the app is to back out of it, however this leaves the widget on the lock screen.

I have found another bug where when I hit a weak signal area and my data connection drops to edge and then I return to an hspa area, at times my data will not reconnect to hspa unless I go into the data settings menu and tick and untick use 2G only.

On the plus side, I went into app info and cleared cache and data for search and so far have not had anymore instances of the search bar not searching.

is it okay the nexus to get hot while browsing (specially when using chrome).. the heat is way hotter than when in 4.2.2.. :(

On android 4.3 factory image
[Nexus 4 General] MarcSinger:
That's one of the reasons I switched back to 4.2.2: any wallpaper you set turns up somewhat pixelated. I tried using some wallpapers that I was using on 4.2.2, and the "Nexus 4" text in them would show up more or less hazy. On top of that, the font seemed to be "misaligned." I cannot explain this clearly, but some glyphs seemed to be elevated off of the baseline compared to the others. It would give an untidy appearance to the text, and it made for a bad reading experience. I tried changing fonts, but the problem persisted with every font that I tried. So, I decided to "downgrade" to 4.2.2 and stick with it until the KLP update in October.

Are you on stock 4.3 (kernel too), unrooted? I can not reproduce your problem.
[Nexus 4 General] xateeq:
4.3 stock with root and i figured out it was not android but but some other app refreshing the screen and notification goes away. notified the app developer fix is on its way.
[Nexus 4 General] ef_x:
i'm on stock android, no root, nothing. got the 4.3. OTA update a few days ago and got this annoying bug, maybe someone can confirm: if i edit a picture through the native gallery editor, applying filters is crazy slow. it takes several seconds to apply each filter whereas before, on 4.2., it would apply them instantly (no pun intended :D ).

anyone else noticed this?
[Nexus 4 General] :
For some strange reason today the phone played my ringtone for less than a second and when I checked it didn't show any calls missed. I am on stock 4.3, franco 173, rooted. Anyone experienced something similar?
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
- When clicking the contrast button in Instagram, everything turns green

- The stock messaging widget does not refresh itself

Can anyone else confirm these? :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] luismedina:
I can confirm the issue with Instagram, see attached picture
[Nexus 4 General] AcmE85:
Standard behaviour :(

I first noticed this on 4.2.2 with the leaked gallery.apk from the Google Edition Phones.

CM10.2 and Stock both have Wallpaper distortion. A simple update of the apk would fix this...

There is already an issue open

http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=58066

lets spread the word so more people star it!

Right now I am using Nova Launcher to set Wallpapers, not really a reason not to go to 4.3 because there are more than enough

workarounds in the play store.
[Nexus 4 General] sd00:
4.3 is driving me crazy. I literally hate my beloved N4 right now.

Can anyone confirm any of the following?...

1. System wide (in apps, settings, fb , g+) scrolling stutters and lags. If I do a gentle flick, it stutters a little and the scrolling often stalls (kinda stops short)

2. Camera flash sometimes stops working after taking a few pictures.

3. Side scrolling frame rate is reduced. Try holding finger on home screen and slowly move - does screen stutter then become smooth when you release? I was so happy with 4.22

4. My home WiFi will sometimes fail to connect until I "forget" then rejoin!!!

I am pretty sure if this was affecting everyone it would be well documented by now SOS perhaps some under the hood changes have affected an app I have already installed - causing this device to become pretty unresponsive?

Cheers, Steve.

Note: stock, unrooted.

EDIT...

The scrolling issues (flick sometimes not registering & stuttering scrolling while moving finger slowly look to me like my screen is not registering all areas or is being polled less often?

Hard to explain but imagine your screen touch was read less often, this might explain why home screen scrolling looks like 5fps while touching but becomes smooth when released.?

Would appreciate any feedback.
[Nexus 4 General] fernandezhjr:
I am experiencing none of those. Touch responsiveness and scrolling are improved, WiFi works just as good as 4.2.2, and no problems with flash. If you received the update via OTA, I would consider doing a factory reset to wipe previous data. It is not uncommon for OTA updates to cause issues like this.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisastrous:
1. Play music crashes if you listening to music then pull the headset out then unlock phone.

This happens randomly and sometimes crashes anyway buy still plays music.

2. Lock screen still freezes like in 4.2.2 and you have to turn off and on a couple times.

Overall smoother and faster than 4.2.2 but wish they could fix the lock screen especially happens when have keypad lock
[Nexus 4 General] gotzaDroid:
Found a new one. When pulling down the notification drawer, with a "app running in the foreground" present, the drawer is not fluid and doesn't go all the way down. Not a big deal, but annoying.

It's kind of sad that for how long Google took to get 4.3 out, it has this many issues with it.
[Nexus 4 General] lee_q:
anyone facing this problem?

after flashing 4.3 with factory image from google,

my phone storage is only 5,67 GB total (i hv 16 GB N4)

whats wrong?

The latest version of Viber crashes upon exit with 4.3
[Nexus 4 General] quendil:
Unfortunately i can not reproduce this "bug". For me the notification drawer will drop all the way down (light flow - permanent).

Try deselecting "Run in foreground" from Light Flow's settings.

I have a clean 4.3 installation, everything stock and rooted.
[Nexus 4 General] sachindpai1:
I am having WiFi troubles. Play store downloads are really slow
[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
Same here
[Nexus 4 General] Fatherboard:
Gotta adore these unexplainable data stalls. some may say "replace your router", others may say "upgrade to 4.3, it solves that". the nexus 4 is probably the only device which doesn't seem to support most of the bulky routers out there. kinda reminds me the days in which most of the web pages were working only with IE.
[Nexus 4 General] sd00:
Well, having read that most people were finding 4.3 smoother, I persevered - until just now!

I was still having issues with WIFI not reconnecting & I was convinced scrolling was less smooth.

I wiped phone completely (userdata, cache, system - the lot)

Installed 4.3 factory image - still the same.

Again, I wiped & then installed 4.2.2 factory image - INSTANT IMPROVEMENT.

**** NOTE: If anyone has access to 2 Nexus 4 devices, one on 4.3, other on 4.2.2 - PLEASE TRY THIS ****

Either on home screen or in app drawer...

Hold finger on screen and move slowly left and right

* In 4.2.2 this is very smooth

* in 4.3 there is definite lower FPS - until your finger is released.

This suggests to me that the screen touch sensor is polled less often

If this is true, then this would explain why sometimes, when flicking through vertical scroll views (G+, FB, Web pages) the scroll occasionally doesn't continue - but stalls / travels less - as if the moment you released your finger, the touch wasn't registered??? I know what I mean - just hard to describe.

Anyone else?

I just got the Cingular Siemens SX-66 (using T-Mobile through it) and while setting up the simple things on the phone I tried to put a picture on the front Today screen. I got that accomplished but I can not figure out how to make it expand to take up the whole screen (it has a gap of white all around it now) and the transparence level of the text on the Today screen like I could on my old T-Mobile Pocket PC phone. How do I get this done on this new phone?

You can do that from Pictures under Programs and under settings Today... Both gives the option to adjust the transprancy level for the image....

I have downloaded countless task killers but when i try to put the widget on my home screen its not there, this only occurs with the task killers and nothing else, using Euroskank 7.2.0 and Tiamat 4.1.0 if it helps. The launcher is ADW
[EVO 4G General] souleman:
Isn't Euroskank for the HTC Desire? Not the Evo.
[EVO 4G General] TechMage299:
I'm not sure but all i know is that the rom is supersonic base.
[EVO 4G General] souleman:
I don't remember ever seeing a rom here called Euroskank. The only one I found was for Desire, and it's based on CM7.2.

Not sure what is causing your problem, other then maybe if it isn't ported properly. That said, 99% of the time, task killers cause more battery drain on gingerbread or newer roms. They kill app's which are sitting idle in the background but will always be running. So as soon as you kill them off, they restart and are no longer idle.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xx042691:
Is there just no way to have a developer create and apk file that allows razr 4.2.2 users to mirror the display of our phones to other devices? I understand that every open able or usable feature of android is in the form of apk file tipes so it doesnt seem that if someone knew how to write an apk file then it wouldnt be hard to creat and app the gave direct use to the micro hdmi port on our phones. And then the dev could even make some cash and make a paid version that works with the car and lapdock!

No HDMI or Dock
