[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cptscruffy:
The chrome (beta 42) jank has been pissing the hell out of me also.

Cataclysm March 16 + elementalx 2.11

Since 4.4.4 I have kept readahead at either 128 or 256, until now.

Currently 1024.

The jank seems to be gone, atm.

I will report if it didn't work.

Update : so about 12-14 hours later, I experienced a little bit of that damn jank. I'm not sure if it's coincidence, but the moment I bumped up the readahead again, the jank disappeared. I am betting it will be temporary. Chrome might need a restart, or the phone for that matter; the phone itself has been brilliant on 5.1.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Chrome has just updated so fingers crossed!

I'm still getting occasional chrome freezes even with the latest update. Stock 5.1 Rooted w Elemental X 2.11 and MoaAB host file. Hopefully we can figure out what's causing the issue. 5.0.1 with Elemental X and same host file had no issue.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwang:
Regardless of what people are saying, I think that the freezing is kernel related.

As I mentioned previously, i've been running code blue kernel w cataclysm 5.1 for a few days and I have not experienced any chrome freezing.

I went ahead and installed elemental x 2.11 again (I first flashed stock kernel) and I immediately started noticing chrome freezing. And this is with adaway installed and using the same exact setup as before.

And I've noticed that most people who are complaining about the chrome freezing are running elemental x kernel.

Again no disrespect to flar.

Well nothing changed after chrome update.

Still getting freezes. thought it was only on mobile data but does happen on WiFi too.

If anything freezing seems more frequent but for a shorter time since chrome update.

Cataclysm ROM and EX kernal.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cptscruffy:
Yeah if you haven't tried already, bump the readahead to 1024 or 2048

My chrome beta 42.0.2311.51 is running quite well now. I'm also curious to see if it's just me lol

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmein:
For those who are getting freezing, try enabling Force GPU rendering in Developer options.

That seems to have improved it for me, but it might just be a placebo, as I couldn't find anything in logcats that pointed to a source of the problem.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cptscruffy:
I have better results with 2048.

Far from perfect, but i haven't had a complete phone lock up or crazy 5-10 sec hang, just the odd 1-2 sec hang. At that point I don't know if it's a typical microstutter or not..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tagtag123:
Sadly enough, from my observation I have to say that in my case the lags were because of elementalx 2.11, went to code blue and no lag/freeze on chrome.

I played with flags while on elementalx just to taste disappointment.

Adway installed in all cases. My tab pro 8.4 on cm nightly and stock cm kernel doesn't freeze a bit. So for me that ruled out if chrome was the culprit.

Cataclysm 5.1 beta.

Anybody on elementalx experiencing freezes should try code blue once with adaway installed. Night and day difference.

Edit: No meddling with flags needed on cataclysm+code blue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
I'm currently giving code blue a try as it is. Not noticed any chrome freezes yet. But overall it doesn't seem as smooth as elementalx

I installed ElementalX 2.11 right away with Cataclysm Android 5.1 and noticed the freezing in Chrome right away. I even had a couple of random phone reboots. Flashed the stock kernel back and haven't had any more freezes or other issues. Might give Code blue a try but things are good. BTW, nothing against ElementalX, loved the kernel on 5.0.

Please focus folks, stop pointing fingers at kernels or this or that. Other software on your phone is fine right, but it's NEVER Google's fault? Anyway, I'm on an LG G2 and it's happening to me too. I'm not on Android 5. It may have started about a month ago or so?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthias.ja:
Same issue here, nexus 5, root, stock ROM, elementalx 2.11.

Think go back to stock kernel and see if this helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crunozaur:
Chrome is hard locking my N5 as well. On both stock and some custom rom (+kernel) name I can't recall.

Overall Lollipop has given me so many problems on all devices I've installed it on. I simply hate it and I feel I might roll back to Slimkat. (installed LP 2 weeks ago on my N5)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telyx:
I was having freezes in Chrome and Opera Mobile using ElementalX in rooted stock 5.1, but since going back to stock kernel have had no freezes at all.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artymarty:
It's not the kernel

It's a chrome issue.

Happens as well on Franco kernel

Blaming the kernel is like saying after crashing your car on the freeway when you hit a pothole that it's the cars fault.

I switched back to my push-bike and even tried my tank, and they were fine. It always happens in my car so it's my car that's causing it.

No... It's the pothole in the road that's making the car crash.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
It happens on elementalx and Franco that's why. Try code blue and there's no freezes

Sent via tapatalk from my cataclysm'd Lollipooop Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthias.ja:
Well, I don't want to argue with you, but using the stock kernel and also code blue, I don't experience any freezes at all. Don't know what that means for your freeway/pothole analogy, but as a user I don't really care where the freezes come from. If they only happen with this particular kernel then I blame the kernel for them.

Well I've been messing around trying to see the cause, I've noticed these are the errors that constantly pop up during a freeze in Logcat.

Edit I've sent this logs to Google via the Chrome email address on the store, I'll post if I get any info.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denshigomi:
I'm running Android 5.1 on a stock rooted Nexus 5 with Adaway. I have zero problems scrolling in Chrome with the stock kernel. As soon as I switched to Franco kernel, Chrome began freezing when scrolling on every webpage. It even freezes in this thread. It even freezes with the performance governor locking it to max frequency. When I flash back to stock kernel, the freezing immediately goes away.

I can't speak for other people's devices, but it's clearly a kernel issue on my device.

The car/tank analogy is bad. If the stock kernel is compatible with Google software and a custom kernel isn't, then something is wrong with the custom kernel. No analogy needed to explain that.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dodgexander:
I am using Optipop with UBER on my Nexus 5 and I can confirm I also have the occasional problem with chrome freezing, especially while scrolling.

I find it depends on the website, some show it more than others.

But I think its important not to think that everyone has the same issue, for example I don't get any messages in logcat or anything.

Sadly I can't see this being fixed any time soon, google won't fix anything that doesn't occur on the stock kernel and no one can figure out why it is happening on most custom kernels. A new browser it is.

Edit# the small locks when scrolling in chrome show no errors in logcat, but like the other log posted here, I do in fact get the chromium errors in my log:

05-13 16:59:39.907 E/chromium(8254): [ERROR:latency_info.cc(160)] GpuCommandBufferStub::eek:nAsyncFlush, LatencyInfo vector size 132 is too big.

+1 I've been unable to get rid of the freezing with a custom kernel. I've been running stock kernel from some time but decided to move back to a custom kernel. The freezing brought me here. I had zero chrome freezing on stock. I've tried racer and electoractive and both have the same freezing. Gonna try Code Blue since ive read the reports that its ok. For reference I'm using Adaway as well i use Facebook's mobile site as I don't like all the facebook junk running in the background and its terrible.

Hi guys, anyone tried these hybrid metal replacement covers on their note 4s? they look pretty good, but I don't know if they will affect signal

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Not sure if it would affect signal as some of the antennas are on top and bottom edge of the phone.

But the back cover does look nice.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xlr8shun:
looks nice, but I have to wonder if its metal, the back sure looks like plastic still (maybe that's why its called hybrid?)

I wonder if its similar to the metal edges on the note 4, look to me to be clad in metal, not actually all metal.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] VergiL09:
Yes it is hybrid, the inside part is plastic, I'm not sure about the outer part though, if it is real metal or just faux metal
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nolife1123:
Its fully plastic, you can see it from the pictures as well, it's a note 2 styled back plastic .

I prefer the original back over this one, its smoother and it's got so much more grip (owned a note 2 before the note 4)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] VergiL09:
I also thought that it was all plastic, until I saw the close up of the "Galaxy Note 4" text on the back, looks really metal, still not 100% sure though
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] SiNJiN76:
Under the description, In RED letters. it says that it will affect signal. "This Hybrid Metal & Plastic case will affect the signal more or less,pls consider this problem before place an order!"

Looks nice tho. Pretty sure if there is an all metal case...it would be all bend and warped looking after you pull it off the phone a few times.

All the things you guys are wondering about is in Red letters. :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] attam9891:
Hi All,

I've been looking into the forum and came across couple of issue with 'dead' nexus 7 but none of them applies for mine. I was browsing the device, when suddenly it flashed and powered down. Now the table wont charge (there is no battery logo) and even the table wont powering on. I tried both with power and usb charging (for long hours).

The device is recognized by adb drivers (as unauthorized) hence could not do any modifications and not recognized at all by fastboot. I was wondering if someone had similar issue in the past with nexus 7 2013 (2nd gen) or similar android tablets/handsets.

I appreciate any help!

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
How is it recognized in ADB or fastboot without powering on? My understanding is that the tab would not turn on if the battery is dead since it doesn't use the current supplied through USB directly. It could be something as simple as that; or the battery connector came off as it is rare one would go out abruptly like that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] attam9891:
It is recognized in ADB as an unauthorized and every command is type the response is "error: device unauthorized ...." Is there a way to Enable USB debugging from command line (windows/linux)? There are no blinking leds, and cannot boot it up into recovery mode.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
I understand your saying "it won't power on" to mean nothing happens when you try to turn it on- as in it's totally dead. In that state, PC won't even see anything, let alone recognize an ADB device. You might want to backtrack a bit and tell what you did, what happened, and what you're trying to accomplish now, and maybe someone can help.

Does it turn on at all, and if it does, how far would it get?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] attam9891:
Thank you for your reply.

After troubleshooting I noticed that its not dead since i am able to see the devices under adb devices. I also noticed that the device isnt dead because it rang when I clicked locate my device from my google account.

I think its the display which is faulty. I will buy an HDMI cable for the nexus 2013 device and connect it to hd tv to mirror the display.

I need an insight. In phone application, whenever i click some numbers and try to find the contact to dial (list appears in smart dial box), I click "down" button in DPAD to reach the contact name but instead of going down in the list, phone displays me the Call History.

This is definetly Smartskey doing this. Since you changed Dpad=0 did you stop and restart smartskey? To do this just doubleclick on smartskey and it will pop up a box asking if you want to stop it. Say yes. Then doubleclick on it again to start it back up.

Smartskey

Well I already did it and even rebooted. No change.

Possibly, I made the edit of .ini file with Pocket Word, that may be causing the problem, even though I reopened it with notepad (in the pda) and resaved it.

I will open it with desktop PC notepad and resave and send back to the pda.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JOSHSKORN:
I pre-ordered the Galaxy Note 4 from Verizon, and I'd heard over on the AT&T side that there was a Chainfire root exploit for the Galaxy Note 4. It turns out, the build listed on Chainfire's site is KTU84P.N910VVRU1ANI1. This is my phone's Build Number. I've also heard that currently, only the Developer Edition, which apparently is also an SM-N910V model number, is rootable, where as the retail version is not.

Do I actually have the Dev edition and didn't even know it or is what I saw on Chainfire's website not actually what I think it is? Here's a link to his site, scroll down for a list of phones. http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

If you ordered your Note 4 directly from Samsung, not pre-ordered from Verizon, then you may have a Developer Device.
