[Nexus 6  General] MrDSL:
The memory fix you're referring to is here

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79729#c177

Whether that fixes this issue its hard to say. COC plays like butter for me but Castle Clash still runs like crap. Not when you're a new user but when you have a big account like me is when it lags and lags
[Nexus 6  General] rickykemp:
I got this nexus 6 about a week ago now, and I was surprised to find performance on WoT Blitz as pretty dire when it should be pretty good.

Its possible it is the resolution - the games run at a resolution higher than most gaming PCs.

HOWEVER, what someone needs to do is to look at whether the GPU is actually running at the correct speed when running 3D applications.

I have a feeling that the GPU speed is staying at its 2D draw clock and isn't moving to the 3D draw clock when launching applications. I've seen it happen before with no-name chinese devices and it was a simple (well, to implement, not to produce) fix.

Could somebody look into this for me? I've been out of the game for a while now and I havent even got round to rooting my N6 yet.

you will need to get a gpu monitor software and run that with logging on and then run a 3D game like WoT.
[Nexus 6  General] Xelphos:
Just an idea, but can someone try running these apps on a Nexus 5 in Dalvik and in ART, and then compare the results to the Nexus 6?

Just thinking because when ART first became public a lot of things didn't work very well or at all when using it, and I am thinking ART may be the issue here. Another reason why I think it may be ART is because the Note 4 is using Android 4.4.4 which uses Dalvik by default, and these apps seem to run fine on it.
[Nexus 6  General] MrDSL:
I run ART on my old LG phone and the games that lag on my N6 don't lag on my LG
[Nexus 6  General] rickykemp:
Managed to have a look at gpu speeds myself. Ran Wot Blitz for 10 minutes, and you can see from the graph that it went to 600mhz gpu for a couple of seconds max. https://www.dropbox.com/s/foqaipsxaj3epzn/Screenshot_2014-12-30-15-23-53.png?dl=0
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
I tried Francos kernal on performance which is supposed to force all 4 cores running at the same time to stay on max from my understanding and games still ran just as poorly. No improvement.

It's funny (actually sad) i was just reading random reviews on Gta Chinatown wars. And another poster complained of lag and i was like i bet he's on a Nexus 6. Sure enough i filter just reviews for our device and boom there he was.

We seem to be alone on this. I don't think this is an art/5.0 issue alone. Otherwise we would have heard more complaints from other phones that have updated by this point.
[Nexus 6  General] wotandsdwys:
No lag here on full stock playing gta3 and Kotor.
[Nexus 6  General] rickykemp:
Ah but have you actually monitored the gpu usage in 3d while playing? If the app doesn't trigger the gpu in the API then it won't use the gpu except in 2d draw mode
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
I'm compiling that fix into my ROM right now so we will be able to see if that makes any difference. I got a bunch of memory leak patches in already so that is just another patch to add so I'm already quite patched up vs the stock ROM though
[Nexus 6  General] MrDSL:
let me know when you release it and i'll load it up and try my problem games.
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Will do. I'll link you up when I post it so you can see if it resolves the problems for you
[Nexus 6  General] dadoc04:
ohh snap! what up DSL.... didnt know you was getting a N6. Used to run your mixer theme religiously :good:
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
I knew it wasn't going to do anything but also whining here is not the solution. So i contacted Google and told them of my complaint with the device that we all seem to be having.

They said this was the first they have heard of this and if others are having issues they should also call or post it on googles Android support page.
[Nexus 6  General] yowanvista:
The GPU-related issues are very likely related to the older Adreno driver that ships with the Nexus 6, it's based on the old branch (V95.0 driver) and only implements OpenGL 3.0 even if the GPU hardware supports the newer ES 3.1 pipeline. Consequently neither the geometry or tessellation shaders are being exposed to Android and AEP (Android Extension Pack) is effectively rendered unusable at this point, the GPU is basically unable to take advantage of the graphical improvements brought by Android 5.0.

This makes no sense whatsoever because Google had clearly advertised ES3.1 and AEP when Android L was first unveiled, what's even the point of having all those graphical improvements and features when the device itself doesn't ship with the correct ES3.1-enabled drivers? i.e V102/104 drivers that also include numerous fixes and performance enhancements. Someone at Google/Motorola clearly screwed up the driver branches.
[Nexus 6  General] slapshot30:
I guess the big question then is can we get those correct drivers through an update?
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Give this a n6 build a try. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=23464

It is an aosp build so you will need to flash gapps, along with SuperSU if you want root. Got a ton of memory leak patches in there but I stay away from adding features so it is very similar to the stock build
[Nexus 6  General] yowanvista:
The newer Adreno 400 series driver binaries aren't yet listed on Qualcomm's website but they're already shipping with certain devices like the S805 Note 4 which currently uses the V102 or V104 drivers. It's only up to Google to include the newer binaries in a future N6 OTA but you could try to extract the V102/104 drivers from the Note 4 ROM and dump them in system\vendor\lib\egl.
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
I have access to a note 4 and a nexus 6... I'll pull those files and post them in a min.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Used your Rom on my n5.... Great work. Does Google everywhere work even with the screen off? Which gapps do you suggest? And you think gaming is fixed or better on your rom vs our current situation? I don't game often on my phone since I have a ps4 but I do from time to time. I would like to see this resolved. The hardware is more than capable
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Here is the dump of that directory from the note 4: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6cO1CHsNKcpYm5iTzNlNFhJNlE&usp=sharing
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Sweet. Let's hope something can be made of this. [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] could work done magic
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Whats a relatively small free game that consistently lags on the old drivers? I made those into a flashable zip I need something to test it on.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Madden? It lags quite a bit when the ball is hiked. The menu lags awfully as well. I hear it's smooth on the note 4
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Madden NFL Mobile correct?

I'll try it on the note 4 as well and let you know in a few.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Yes with Sherman on the icon
[Nexus 6  General] yowanvista:
Those are the old V84 drivers. Your Note 4 variant isn't using the newer drivers, I don't have the Note 4 so I can't quite figure out which exact variants have them but some versions are using the new branches according to GFXBench.
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Yes google everywhere works including screen off, I figured that one out awhile what was breaking it and shared it with others.

I used banks gapps on my n6, n5 and n4.

As far as the gaming, idk, that's why I shared here to see if all the memory leak patching resolves it, my n6 is ridiculously buttery smooth though whenever I play any games but the games people are having problems with are all paid apps and I'm not gonna purchase games I would never play just to test
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Really? lol people are still trying to figure that one out over here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716

You may want to let them know how you fixed it.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

K, I'll download some other note 4 variant dumps and see. How do I know if they are the new drivers or not?

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

On stock my nexus 6 is smooth in the menus and when the ball is hiked. Any other testing recommendations?

Edit: never mind I see what you are talking about now...
[Nexus 6  General] uhguy:
I'm gonna flash this when I get home. I have horrible lag from the Twitch.tv app when I switch from it to read a text message and then back again. I'm assuming you've noticed battery life improvement with some memory leak issues addressed?
[Nexus 6  General] yowanvista:
Open the .so files with a hex editor and search for 'opengl', the Adreno driver version number should be in this format "OpenGL ES 3.0 V@<driver version>", alternatively if you've got the device itself open Chrome and go in 'chrome:gpu' and scroll down to 'GL_VERSION' or just simply check the driver details and timestamp via the terminal with:

logcat -d | grep "Adreno".
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Just realized it is crashing when you record with it built in, apparently it was working before and now that I have a n6 now and can be more aggressive on tracking bugs down, I was able to catch the log to see what is going on.

I see some selinux details I gotta take care if for the moto audio listening that would be the problem on it not getting permission
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Yes sir, I'm still fine tuning the n6 build since I can finally do my own testing in it. I noticed the sound was noticeably lower on aosp builds so I had to track down all the missing moto audio libs and fmas eq stuff. Just noticed there is missing bin files for the MDM helper that I got to add in still too that is missing from aosp builds (actually this was the case in the n5 where the proprietary files released by google were only half there)
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Thanks, let us know

[MENTION=4405453]yowanvista[/MENTION] is it possible that gfxbench is showing an internal lolliopop build at samsung running that version? I've checked both tmo, the unlocked version, as well as my uscellular model and all of them have the old drivers.
[Nexus 6  General] yowanvista:
It could be possible considering that the Note 4 will be getting the 5.0 upgrade in a few weeks and It'll surely get the newer binaries as well. I guess you'll just have to wait for Google to roll out the newer Adreno driver for the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Sweet, last OT question. Custom kernels OK? Or are some of the patches kernel related?

[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Yes, i don't do anything kernel related even though I should looking through the dmesg.

I am lagging at it. I don't wanna be bombarded with feature requests and I'm also working on other things still
[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
Magic 2015. Completely unplayable. I have never played magic but friends want me to learn. Alas, I tried, and could not even navigate the menus. Horrendous. So, I uninstalled it and never learned magic :P
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Not an exactly small game at 1.43gb but I'm installing it and will see if it is functional on my ROM
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
You can try madden... It's free
[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
Some people are reporting that Madden runs relatively fine. May as well try something that is unbearable and wrecked for all.
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
unfortunately, madden still lags on your build.
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Madden runs fine for me but you are correct at magic 2015 being completely unusable even in the menus but it definitely isn't a memory leak.

Found a lot of null exceptions where the game isn't updated for lollipop and it's changes yet so that would be one cause there, now what catches my attention is in the dmesg with the CPU though.

Lots of IRQ39 no longer affine to CPU1. Other irqs also like 200 and 203 to other CPUs so this isn't looking like a GPU issue either (I didn't see these in my dmesg till before I started the game)
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
I didn't play far enough in I guess. Wanna grab a logcat and dmesg while playing it to see if I'm seeing the same things here on magic 2015 so we can try to track whatever causing this down
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
sure its kinda hard to reproduce though, I'll see what I can do.
[Nexus 6  General] ptesmoke:
I just went and got an N6 solely because you did. ROCK ON SYKO :)
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
I'm seeing the same errors in it as magic 2015 so it is definitely related. I'm gonna look over the CPU scaling because that looks to be the case if what is going on here
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
using system monitor I found that when it was lagging cores 1 and 2 were locked at 1.5 to 1.7ghz. When it stops lagging they go back up to 2.3 or so.
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
So it definitely seeks that it isn't scaling right but you would imagine that custom kernels and different governors would correct that.

Well maybe it is having problems scaling up the cores
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Either way these issues seem to be related to the cpu not the gpu. I can flash franco kernel and see if that behavior changes.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Im on FK and I still get lag
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Yeah, I didn't think they were GPU related, well not the lagging part, the outdated GPU drivers that are only opengl 3.0 is a different story and probably the case of the screwy shaders someone reported.

It could be kernel related or just the power hal, let me go check if there was any updates in the aosp kernel source that addresses this
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Franco kernel behaves almost identically, except dips even lower, making the lag even worse.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] croikee:
Hey Everyone,

I honestly don't know if this is the right place to ask but I don't know where to start, with you, with google, with comcast, or Netgear. Here is the issue.

We have comcast internet and use a comcast approved Netgear N600 dual band cable modem. My wife and I both have Nexus 5 with Android 5.0. We also have laptops, a Roku 3, and PS 4, all hooked up via wifi.

IN the past month, our wifi on phones has gotten unusable. You try to browse a site, and it takes forever, usually a minute (not forever but long) to load the site, and then the site browses at normal speed. However, if you try to navigate to a NEW site, you have the minute load time, before that site browses normally.

The roku, laptops and PS4 all work perfectly via wifi. I did the speedtest net app on my phone, and it had 50 mb download, 13 mb upload via wifi. So connection speeds are perfect.

Its just that initial minute plus wait to actually have a website load each time, that is bizarre. Any thoughts please? Comcast says its the phone. Netgear says its comcast.

Oh, on ANY other wifi network our phones work perfectly. Love help. Thanks!

John

Have you rebooted the router? Remove power source for 1 minute. Always first thing to try.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] croikee:
Yes, I have rebooted the router. I have also done a hard reset on the router, restoring it to factory defaults, upon which I have to rename our network/set password etc. WHEN I do this, our phones function perfectly for a few hours, then the problem rears its ugly head again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Certainly sounds like a router issue. Or at least an incompatibility.

How would I look for a compatibility issue? What exactly would I look for, a specification? This router worked fine for the first three months?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well really what you need to do is troubleshoot by trial and error. If you could perhaps borrow another type of router and run it side-by-side... If it works OK, its a problem with your router and not your phone or Comcast. If it doesn't work, you've ruled out the router and identified an issue either with the phone or Comcast.
