[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misbehave:
Hi all (if anyone still here),

My T-Mobile G2 "overall" performance and smoothness seems to drop and more sluggish when it is on mobile data than when it is on Wifi.

And no, I do not mean the "internet connection" speed. I mean overall performance.

Does anyone have this same problem or does anyone know why this happen?

Thanks,

I have a Qtek 9100 with the following details

IPL 2.17

SPL 2.17

GSM 02.07.10

OS 2.17.7.2

and

ROM version: 2.17.7.2 WWE

ROM date: 2/10/06

Radio version: 02.07.10

Protocol version: 413.1.03

ExtROM version: 2.17.7.102

My question/concern is as follows:

As of recently, my beautiful wizard has been spontaneously soft-resetting. When this problem starts, it will reset itself a couple of times before it finally boots up, and when it does boot up, i have problems making and recieveing calls, not to mention the slower than usual perfomance.

I have performed a hard-reset to see if any programs are causing this. So far I am operating with no installed software (other than what it comes with). The problem is still present.

Before my hard-reset I was using pocket breeze, spb plus, pocket weather, resco soduko, etc etc, with no noticable perfomance lag.

I have not messed around with anything except for the A2DP hack so I can use my HT820 headset. This worked for a while until an unexpected soft-reset, and I had to re-install the CAB and re-pair my headset.

I HAVE NOT installed the A2DP hack on my wizard since the last hard-reset.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading extensively about upgrading my rom and radio versions, but I want to see if there is any other solution as I am not yet 100% sure how to perform the upgrades.

thanks, i already searched those topics.

I am more concerned now about the radio, because I dont seem to be able to make or recieve calls on the first or second try.

do you think that if the rom and/or radio rom were updated, i could fix this problem?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] McHale:
When I first got my K-Jam, I loaded it up with every app I used on my old PocketPC.

Mine rebooted constantly to (seemed like once an hour sometimes).

I did a hard reset and didn't load anything on there.

No rebooting.

Installed my first app.

No rebooting

Installed my next app

no rebooting

After I got all my apps loaded (which I did over a few days), I still had no probs.

Now comes the today plugins.

Installed my first one

no rebooting

Installed the second one

rebooting

Moral to the story, do a hard reset (or upgrade to the newest ROM if you've been holding off) and run like that for a few days, if it doesn't reboot on you, it's an app or a plugin.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston73:
I've had my tmo s3 for a little more than a year now and it's still going strong and I like it but I'm thinking of possibly buying a nexus 5. Looking at used ones but also considering possibly getting it brand new from Google. Have any of you upgraded from the s3 to this? Would it be m much of an upgrade? Just wait for another 6 months for the nexus 6?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Aside from possibly the camera...and no SD slot.....yes, a huge upgrade. IMHO. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duarian:
I just came from my GS3 to the N5 and the difference is night and day. Even with a KitKat rom on my GS3 it isnt nearly as fast and smooth as the N5.

Not to mention N5 roms are nearly bug free.

You do lose the SD card as mentioned above, the camera (I think) is a little better quality.

Battery is way better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston73:
Thanks for the replies. I was thinking I'd wait for the lg g3 but it seems like the g2 is difficult to unlock and root, at least when it has 4.4. I have been using KitKat on my s3 for so long I don't think I could be happy with anything lower. The s3 is good but after I've been using my n7 for a while the Samsung feels slow.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mojar7070:
You won't be disappointed with the upgrade. Went from i747 to N5 and everything is so much smoother. Keep your s3 with a proven rom as a backup but don't expect to jump back to it once you feel the difference in speed and reliability of the nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitz420:
I came 2 days ago from a d2spr. I can't begin to explain the night and day difference between the 2.

Hardware aside, the development here is way more active than on the s3 side. Hope to see you here.....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joannn:
One and half month back I had the same confusion regarding this.

But after switching to N5, I am quite happy than before, until and unless you experience it you wont understand the differences of its software and hardware from S3.

galaxy s5 is better
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Please don't troll.

"better" is subjective. Samsung cannot make a touchwiz device that doesn't lag. All of us who have had Galaxy devices know this. The s5 is no exception. The OP did not mention the S5. If he wanted an S5, he would have posted this in the S5 forum. Lets try to stay on topic please.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livi@:
For sure they are two different "worlds".

If you seek speed of light and high rate of updates then you should go, for sure, of N5 :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston73:
That's exactly why I was looking at the n5 and not the s5. I found a 32gb black nexus for $315 on swappa so it's on its way now. I know the s5 has better stats on paper but it would also ruin any warranty if I rooted it ( samsungs counter). I like experimenting with different roms and I haven't used tpuchwiz for months. I know the n5 isn't exactly new but it's new enough that it should get the next update version of andriod.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I came from the Note 2, which is similar spec to the S3, and here’s what I miss the most:

-Wolfson DAC: With DAC Direct, audio sounded far superior on Note 2 (the reason audiophiles love Samsung phones)

-APT-X Bluetooth Codec: Again, sounds far superior to standard BT audio

-Phase Detection Auto Focus: For fast focus lock. N5 uses contrast detection, which is why it’s slow to focus

-Camera voice commands: Handy when taking photos of the kids / pets etc

-Expandable Storage: I would have liked the option to use my own SD cards, however I have bought a USB OTG SD card reader so this point is moot now

Apart from that I couldn’t be happier with the N5, and am actually happy to be rid of all Samsung’s gimmicks and so called “features”.

So if you haven’t already, go for it! :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston73:
Another question, I've read that google slightly changed the n5 after complaints about the speaker, is there any way to figure out if my used phone I just bought is one of the originals or a modified one? I know there's nothing I can do either way, just curious.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
This might help identify what model you have:

http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/Dec2013/google-nexus-5-gets-design-changes.html

I believe I have the "revised" model, but the speaker still sucks.

In fact, I should have added "speaker" to what I miss from the Note 2 in the list above :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Nope, its complete BS. Some have little holes some have big holes. Some have softer soft touch, some have yellower displays. It's not a revision. It is not a concious decision.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I'm new to the N5 so wasn't aware of any of these issues until I read about them today, so I just posted the first link that appeared in Google regarding the "differences".

Good post though, hit the nail on the head regarding tolerance, human error, and everything else really.

Like yourself I have light bleed, but I can live with it as it's only noticeable when it boots up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No worries. Loads of website reported it as fact for a long time and we still see the repercussions of that now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Aye, seems to be quite common these days that websites run a story without properly fact checking!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorthernNoel:
I made the switch from my s3 this week after a fall that it didn't agree with.

Previously I'd been on Omnirom so it was fairly close to stock 4.4.

The N5 is definitely quicker. The S3 was always limited by RAM. I'm not missing the graphical glitches either. The screen is nicer with the higher res.

My main loss is the removable battery as I had a spare for the old phone, however battery life seems better, probably due to my s3 batteries having 2 years use.

SD isn't as much of a problem with Google Music/Plex.

Camera is definitely better than the S3 AOSP offering. I'd pretty much given up taking photos with it.

Over all I'm happy with it. It's a definite upgrade and doesn't come with all the bloatware that Samsung offer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoxAbout:
Love the N5

I also had the t999 and the battery port died..

I first got the M8 but I didnt care for it..too darn big! I then looked at the NX5 after reading up on it here I just love it!

Night and day improvement over the samsung [of which I have had 3]

There are liltle things I miss from the s3 that the nx5 doesnt have but after 3 weeks..I'm over them

Great choice

:good::highfive::good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingston73:
I'll be able to compare in a few days, once my n5 is delivered. The rom I'm using has versions for both the s3 and n5 so it'll be as close to a direct comparison as possible.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoxAbout:
I would deff try out the stock rooted nx5 rom before going to another rom. Just my 2 cents I mean it is what [the android stock ver just with root] comes with the device at least give it a try.

Good luck!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanessaem:
I'm coming from a Galaxy S4 to the N5 and I have no regrets even though the S4 was a good device. No lag, very smooth, and nice battery life once you turn off the excess Google crap running in the background. I'm not crazy about the dialer though but I'm living with it. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
Most of my friends own galaxy devices (s3,s4,and s5) and every single one felt slower compared to my n5. The slowest out of the group was the s3, it was so slow that it had trouble typing out the letters in a message. S4 and s5 didn't lag as much and would be tolerable but you will still notice the micro stuttering.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
I had Galaxy S3 I9300 before switching to Nexus 5, and since that day when I switched to Nexus 5 I have no regrets at all. Because my Nexus 5 feels better in my hands,is much smoother (even smoother than Galaxy S3 with AOSP rom),has a little better audio quality,better pictures quality for me (I think it's because of 1080P display) And also Touchwiz skin was terrible,so stock Android skin feels like a heaven for my eyes.:laugh:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah there is no doubt in my mind that the N5 is much better than the S3 at pretty much everything. That said, the DAC in the N5 is no match for the wolfson audio in the S3.

We can do great things with viper4android though
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soadzoor:
Try the superbeam app. With that, no issues here, I can transfer any data from a file explorer (total commander, es file explorer, etc) with about 50mbit/sec. My whole music folder (about 4gigs) was transferred within 10 minutes with that. I think we could reach even faster speeds if we could use wifi ac, or at least wifi n at 5ghz as a hot spot (I dont know if anyone could do that)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klin1344:
I came from a tmobile S3 (t999), and its been 5 months since I've switched. I don't regret it at all. Yeah, there are some things that I miss from the S3, mainly removable SD card and zero-shutter lag camera (the S3 camera was FAST), but just the fact that I will be getting the latest and most stable (not some hacky port) AOSP ROM immediately when Google releases it beats out every aspect of the S3. Plus, the development community for the Nexus 5 is huge, so there's not worry about it going obsolete anytime soon.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chainsuk:
Wi Fi Direct

Yeah i hear what your saying but wi fi direct is one of the features of this phone which i used all the time on my S2, so it should be fixed now as the N5 has been out for a while now, and i payed good money so i expect all the features to work on phone and if its not fixed on the next update ill be selling my 2 month old N5.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Its not up to samsung. Updates are from Google and the carrier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Anonymously_Unknown:
Correction: Samsung still needs to add Touchwiz and the "S" features to whatever Google produces way before the carriers even get to cripple features by adding bloatware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Yes, as you said, samsung adds whatever they want, then at&t decides if a phone model gets an update, so, as others have said, its up to the carrier. Google decides if the processor of the phone continues to get support.

You could install SysLog from the Play Store and run it after each reboot. That will capture the dmsg and last_kmsg, as well as the modem log and something else. You can easily email that to the ROM dev and maybe he can help you sort it out.

You could also try freezing all non stock apps with titanium backup. Then unfreeze them only as you need one at a time, then to try to troubleshoot if its an app.

Hey guys,

I've had my gs5 since launch and initial Best Buy told me they were having issues getting the phones to activate and that it would take a bit... So I switched the default LTE/CDMA antenna to automatic mode and eventually it acquired data and LTE/3g works, however it keeps warning me about how activation isn't complete and when I let it go through the process it just ends up failing and retrying 5 times.

Bsplayer is like slow, i mean, every 2 seconds the image stops for an instant and then continues, sound works without problem. In VLC it's the sound that stops working once every five minutes more or less, and for a few seconds. Sometimes, it also happens with some games. I alredy tried to restore the device and reinstalling the apps. Also deleting data files and cache of both apps.
