I just updated to lollipop using the official leaked ota for XT1068 and to my surprise it was full of stutters everywhere.

I did a complete wipe including the internal storage and reinstalled all my apps again. But seems like animations have taken a serious hit wid the newer update.

Steps to reproduce stutters or lags

1.Swipe down from status bar

Click on users icon... And click more settings... Enjoy the lag...

2. Open app drawer (newer google now launcher)

Click on home button

Enjoy microstutters...

3. Go to settings

Click on any title..

The animation that seems to come from lower part of screen towards center also lags for the first time...

Material design is said to be accompanied by fluidity which i failed to find on a 1gb ram quad core cpu phone with a dedicated a305gpu..

One of the major hits was that switching data on now requires at least 4 touches...yes i know aosp has it like this but...Moto being an oem could have made it simpler... For someone like me who toggles data several times a day, this is hectic.

One thing again moto failed to do was to remove the drop down quick setting when a secured lock screen is used. How the hell it is secure when any one can swtich off the data and swtich on air plane mode or even use my phone as a wifi hotspot..

These are no personal modifications i require but these should been a must. for an oem like moto who favours stock android..its also necessary to put some easy things rather just making aosp as it is coz aosp is no where perfect.

People who say its a low end phone and m happy with whatever i m served on a low priced phone, plz stay away.

No i am not free enough to revert to kitkat as i have a busy life currently and i cant spend my every day reinstalling apps n setting them up ...

Edit -

Few more bugs

# wifi battery drain is present wid build 5.0.2. Battery is draining even when all the wifi toggles are off (including scanning while sleep) .. Have seen this on my nexus 5 too.... U can thank google for this and motorola for not patching it..

# net is switched on and working but it is not accompanied by E/H icon near the signal icon ... This bug is random and just showed up on my device...

Tried the 3 things you mentioned, and yes, I get it as well.

I thought it was only me, phew!
[G 2014 General] love@hate:
Report the same to official Moto support forums for MFN ,, maybe for these, moto is still not going global release ,, may be they would notice and try to improve
[G 2014 General] Sri2702:
We're not soak testers though, just installed from zip.
[G 2014 General] love@hate:
I can confirm all three present ,,, but overall system response and especially ram management is improved ,,, I think these are aosp issues,
[G 2014 General] Sri2702:
Not sure if bug or not, but suddenly the status bar has stopped changing colour according to the background. For example, first when I opened XDA on Chrome, the status bar changed to Orange. Same for MX Player. Now, it doesn't. Can anyone confirm or deny?
[G 2014 General] love@hate:
NOPE ,, checked it 3-4 times,, status bar color is still changing in xda chrome to orange (go to devices page of moto g ), and working in mx too

and the first lag pointed above (user profile ) is now much smoother now
[G 2014 General] Sri2702:
Well, I changed back to "Merge apps and tabs" option and it's working in Chrome. Can't get it to work in MX Player. Which colour are you using for MX Player?
[G 2014 General] love@hate:
funny it was working with pink(:) ) selected but now its not working . In vlc its working and playstore is hard freezing sometimes ,, had to reboot it

i received the soak test for 5.0.2 and i have no problems with stutters, even doing the things you stated above. (XT1064)
[G 2014 General] pranshubatra707:
Received 5.0.2 from soak test.

Was first upgraded to 5.0 then 9mb update to 5.0.1 and then 39mb update to 5.0.2

No lags whatsoever!

Sent from my XT1068
[G 2014 General] Lynse:
I am using the 5.0.2 22.21.28 final update on my XT1063 and all the things that you said is real, the lag is AWFUL, the animation lag, when you pull down the notification bar the animation just not play well, it seems to stutter, its really annoying, i wish i could back to KK, but i cannot downgrade anymore because i updated via OTA, people are really excited for lollipop in this forum (because, well, 90% of the threads in general section is about lollipop), I feel sad for them.
[G 2014 General] votinh:
Woww, that's no good :(

Thanks for a headup, I'll hold off the update for now.
[G 2014 General] Lynse:
well, you can update if animations stuttering at some points after you start to do multitasking don't bother you, the system is pretty usable, but these animations lag is a killer for me, because material design its supposed to be more fluid than holo, and its not (at least on this device), but there's no lag for open apps and so on.
[G 2014 General] oscillat0r.lfo:
Does anybody know what happened to the Safe Headset Volume limiter? Because I don't see it at all in Titan 5.0.2.
[G 2014 General] Lynse:
The safe volume limiter exists in XT1063 Stock 5.0.2, I don't used titan prime yet so I don't know much about it.
[G 2014 General] reefuge:
it has changed think its hold power tap up, (sort of opposite to 4.4.4)
[G 2014 General] petraru1:
On another note, after installing the indian lollipop update on my europe XT1068 .reteu, the phone is much faster, i don't have any kind of lag.
[G 2014 General] bokilz:
Hey guys iam on 4.4.4 kitkat 21.11.14 version and i have ram problems. I cant listen to music while on chrome for example because the music will stop working due too ram. Is this problem fixed in android 5.0.2?
[G 2014 General] moby90:
Also for me
[G 2014 General] Trekker56:
The battery life has decreased after 5.0.2 as compared to 5.0.1, but may be that is because I did a "dirty" upgrade. If it continues like this I will do a factory reset and start fresh to see if the battery life improves.

No More Audio Effects

I am not seeing audio effects that we had in Kitkat ,, am I doing smth wrong ?

Battery is still good for me ,, got 5Hrs S.O.T

this Notifiacation priority is a mess,, no silent mode nd this adaptive brightness at indoor will blank u out ,, its going much lower than what we had lowest in Kitkat ,, sometimes google engineers think way too much
[G 2014 General] doctor_droid:
Upgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2 is a minor one...shouldn't need a factory reset...
[G 2014 General] Sri2702:
I have been running 5.0.2 and yes, I found that this is fixed. I can had 2 tabs in Chrome open (it shows up in Recent Apps), Play Music playing, Gmail and the Phone app open, everything was smooth. Nothing was killed.

Also, OP, have you done Factory Reset? Does this issue persist after reset? If you haven't done yet, I an thinking about doing a factory reset to get rid of this lag.
[G 2014 General] hellraiser:
I too faced some bugs.

i too had faced some bugs today itself, when i connected my charger to the phone, my phone started to behave weird, cant unlock the phone, after unlocking the phone, it started to dialed the calls automatically i have to shutdown the phone strange ,:confused:
[G 2014 General] love@hate:
Now is better Ram management ,, almost like 480mb Free,, due to low system memory being used ,, I can easily open 2 tabs with play music on ,, battery is >= Kitkat
[G 2014 General] doctor_droid:
I did a factory reset ... Complete wipe..i even formatted my external sd..lol....
[G 2014 General] doctor_droid:
I agree wid that..alot of free ram is now present with better multitasking.
[G 2014 General] love@hate:
Although I did not see this again mm but still I want to share this ,,, I get once this much free Ram,, Amazing isn't it ,

No E/H/3G Symbol is showing on enabling mobile data

I have updated my moto g gen 2 through official leaked OTA to 5.0.2 lolipop.

But now On Enabling mobile data no E/H/3G symbold displays on taskbar but internet is working fine when I checked on browser.

Please suggest any solution .
[G 2014 General] Nagass:
I'm not having any lag, probably the fact that before upgrading to 5.0.2 I unlocked the bootloader and the mandatory factory reset helped preventing any problem.
[G 2014 General] m192:
There is a solution to all you've said, got to developer options and set all animations to .5x - or turn off all animations.
[G 2014 General] spicx212:
If a new version goes out, will ,e recieve it, even ,with installing indian soak test ôta ?

I face some lags too, especially freezing apps
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Drive mode is bugged on text readback
[G 2014 General] doctor_droid:
Its a workaround not a solution...
[G 2014 General] m192:
Well whatever it is, it isn't much of an issue/bug for me as long as I can call, send sms, use apps and play games.

My animation settings are at 1x, because the whole point of Material Design is for a user to see where elements are coming from, like a touch creating ripples or windows flying in and out from somewhere. You probably mistook these features as a "lag"

The version we are on is also the early stages of the soak test of the Motorola Feedback Network (MFN) which I have recently learned that Motorola does not want participants

to disclose any information of it's existence. Hence the term "soak test".

Best wait for the final "public" version that Motorola formally announces. I'm sure they will fix these "minor" issues...

Best regards!

Not all the animations are lagging but this is really an awesome update over kitkat in my opinion because I didn't yet captured any lags with the Lollipop. I am enjoying this :cowboy:

Check out this video its my phone and you will see there's not so much lags at all...

New bug (maybe new):

Well, I just checked my battery stats and it says WiFi was on the whole day, while it wasn't.

Before or after?
[G 2014 General] Nagass:
Before, I was on 4.4.4 UK so the first thing i had to do was unlock the bootloader.

[G 2014 General] gnubash:
I think that some people spend a tad too much time obsessively scrutinising minute details... maybe you should work for Apple (I am not being facetious, I am being serious - because their products are C-based and they have a higher priority for UI rendering threads, they put A HUGE amount more effort into this kind of detail.).

It's a 5" smart phone for £139, and a Java based OS - I'd not get too hung up on every tiny, barely perceptible micro stutter. If it bugs you, I can arrange a swap for a Symbian phone; THEN you'll know lag like never before. :D
[G 2014 General] love@hate:
Is this normal in landscape.. In KitKat landscape ..it was full screen.now on lollipop notification center is not full screen in landscape.

And how the hell change keyboard theme to black one and stop vibration on them(I have already disabled touch on vibartion but still getting vibration on keyboard).

Perfectly fluid will not happen so long as Google insist on keeping Java at the core of Android. All their ridiculous "projects" have come and gone, and STILL we see lag, even if it doesn't bother many (it doesn't bother me, really). "Project butter"? Lol - you don't hear Apple bragging about some convoluted "project", several years down the line after iOS was first released. Want to know why? iOS is Objective-C, and is compiled - they got it right FIRST TIME, unlike Google, and so don't need to show off some framework they've patched in to speed things up... LOL!

An interpreted language, Java != a compiled language, C/C++ for sheer execution speed and efficiency. These are well established and very widely known facts. Want speed? Drop Java completely. Fact.
[G 2014 General] love@hate:
I don't know on which services Google uses Java. But I know why Android SDK uses Java. Android was backed financially by Google, but not developed by Google. When they bought Android Inc., development was so far ahead that it wouldn't be that simple to switch to a different language.

The reason Android Inc. decided to go with Java, from what I heard, is that, as Java has a large base of programmers, they though it could encourage a lot of people to jump into developing Android apps, and then penetrate the market faster. which it eventually did.

They have other option in 'GO' ,, but major rewriting and learning and adoption problems

Memory Bug Still Present!!!

I thought the mem bug(aggressive killing of apps) Will be solved in this update....No such luck....:(
[G 2014 General] ktulu84:
iOS is running only on iPhones, that's why you can use a compiled language, android is running on a great amount of devices with different architecture, that's why you need an interpreted language like java. If you choose to go for a compiled language, you will have to compile every single app for every single architecture you can find on the market, and you will have to recompile them when a new device with a new architecture is out. plus you can't simply take a huge project like android and port it to another language without spending years and money. THIS is a fact

You can't under-clock or over-clock the cpu unless you have ROOT ACCESS...
[G 2014 General] mannulko:
How? Pls help
[G 2014 General] gnubash:
Your first sentence is nonsensical and poorly reasoned. Android running on Android phones is not "why" (you say) you can only run Java on them - the underlying OS and frameworks are ALL written on top of C/C++, so that's complete nonsense. Do you also think the bootloader is written in Java? Of course it isn't. The reason "why" C/C++-based OS cannot run on Android phones is a vendor's decision, not a technical barrier. A CPU runs binary, and Java is just a very high-level (and very clunky) layer, below which are a few more, and underneath them all is a bare metal CPU which just wants binary, and it isn't aware of what the layers above it were doing, it just blindly executes machine code passed to it. I was not saying iOS should run on Android (if that's what you thought) - I am saying iOS is Objective-C based (therefore, C-based) and it also has far far better thread prioritisation for UI rendering, ergo, smoother and more efficient. Android being installed on Android phones is not a "reason" to prevent C/C++-based OS being installed on them; they OWN the bootloader keys and source code - they can release whatever OS they so desire. I did not mean that we could install C/C++-based OS' on Android phones NOW this very moment, of course we could , but does one exist? Not to our knowledge. But how do ANY of us know that Google are not secretly developing a C/C++-based OS, right now at this moment? We don't. Of course it costs time and money - don't most things?

As for the argument about recompiling APKs - have you not heard of "UB" or "Universal Binary" format, or "Rosetta", a translation layer devdeloped by Apple to allow PowerPC binaries to run on Intel Macs? Something similair exists for Android, otherwise how else would you think that Intel-based Android devices exist, and are able to run ARM compiled apps?
[G 2014 General] ktulu84:
Maybe you should learn how to read. I never said that iOS should run on android (which is a nonsense, they are both os and not hardware), what I was saying is that iOS have to support only few devices, while android aim to support almost all architectures. This is possible using an interpreted language and a VM specifically written for the architecture, or by compiling the OS and all the apps for every single architecture you wish to support.

Using a translation layer is quite the same as using a VM, I don't see any advantage
[G 2014 General] gnubash:
Yes you're right - I can't read. When you learn to be polite and respectful, talk to me. I also find you are tending to hugely miss the points, plural, which is quite exasperating. I'll leave you to get on with your day.

Persistent Notifications on Lock Screen

Notifications on lock screen are good...BUT there are some apps like BBM, Viber, Skype, etc which shows persistent notification in notification bar. Now these notifications are also appear PERSISTENTLY on lock screen which is unacceptable and occupies space as well. There should be an option to disable these persistent notifications or not to show notifications of a particular app on lock screen. Currently there is an option under Sound & Notification-->App Notifications-->Select App--> Block. But this blocks notification everywhere for selected app.

PS: We can enable these apps not to show these persistent notifications but I love to see them (but only at notification bar not at lock screen) as these tells whether I am connected to these apps or not. May be its not Moto but how Lollipop was built but there should be a work around provided.
