I notice sometimes when exiting apps that the background is blank and it takes about a second or so for the wallpaper to load back up again.
Is this normal? I wonder if this is a Lollipop or lack of RAM issue.

This happens to me as well. it always happens when I unlock the device whilst it is in a different orientation. By the looks of it I think its a lollipop/software issue. Nothing to do with the hardware.
Noticed this when rotating the screen

Same here. The app icons also seem to take a half second to reload. The screen also shuts off then on again when rotating as well.
Software for sure, but I'm interested in a fix.
It only happens in the Google launcher.
With the launcher ADW EX rotating the screen works perfectly. No blanks.
Ya I got this issue also. Think it release the memory. Hopefully Google looking into it.
It's fixed in the latest OTA. (still rolling out for many and still not available in Europe).
The launcher redraw and most (if not all) micro stuttering should now be gone.

I got that OTA yesterday evening (local NL time), but it failed. I read elsewhere in the General N9 section that I am not the only one, so I hope Google will send another OTA.
But I'm glad the launcher redraw is no longer a problem after the update.

The OTA is failing for many users because the previous one (the one we downloaded as soon as we booted our N9 the first time) didn't update the bootloader version correctly. Google will surely fix it soon, and there's always the full flashing way (described in detail in several General forum threads) to have it.

Their have been several reports of the widget engine crashing on some ICS ROM's in the developers forums. From what I have found out is an issue with the layout of the screen this is causing the issue. I you notice, the widgets that have a 5x size are the ones that are crashing. Lets use Jorte Calendar as an example. Install Jorte and try to load a widget, it crashes. Ok, now go into Jorte setting > widget setting, and make all the 5x widget unavailable. Problem solved. This problem does not exist in other launchers, on in the default launcher.
I would have posted this in the developers forum, but I am new to this forum.
The development area would've been the wrong place to put this. Due to the fact that that section is for dev's to post their creations and such.
As for your problem I am not sure. I couldn't open then personalize tab when I was running ICS. Usually a reboot fixed that problem though.

You must not have understood my post. The developers do not know what the problem is. I was stating that I have a clue of what the problem is.
The problem lye's in the way the launcher deals with widgets that are too big for the screen. When the launcher tries to access a widget that is too big for the screen layout (4x4), the widget engine crashes instead of ignoring the over sized widgets.
Our threads differ a little bit. I'm making a list of bad apps, while you got a potential solution. you may want to PM a dev. they can work magic
Okay. THanks
I have only experienced the widget FC on one custom ROM. I believe it had something to do with one of the apps I installed, because it worked fine until I started downloading applications from the market. I tried a few times to reflash to pin point, but I didn't have a lot of time to see if that was the main cause of the issue.
personalize problems in ICS
I finally gave up on ICS yesterday after struggling for a week with problems with personalizing screens. I tried to narrow the problem down to specific apps, but eventually concluded that it was not caused by specific apps involving widgets. Every time that I downloaded more than a half-dozen apps from the market, I would start getting the "unfortunately, personalize has stopped working" messages, preventing me from adding any further apps to home screens. I could continue adding widgets or shortcuts, but not apps. Not even rebooting helped, and I would end up having to re-flash the ROM and start all over. It seemed to depend on the number of market apps that I downloaded, not necessarily the specific app. Even apps without widgets such as quickboot would cause the crash after the first half-dozen apps were downloaded.

Joelz latest sense rom has a fix included that will eliminate this problem. It completely worked for me, and I was having it big time.
Thanks, I will check that out. You are TheMan!
Edit: actually, it was his ROM that I was using when I had all the problems. It was ICS Sense Redefined-Always Brilliant![Sense 3.6][4.0.3]. I could never get past the personalize problem to add more than a few app short cuts.
even after jolez fix im having problems on scotts rom... i had no problem on his 2.3 but when i flashed his 2.4 all hell broke lose... i cant even some apps from the market like engadget? and no i havent done any other modding except installing apps?
anyone have any ideas bc right now i only have about 20 apps installed that actually work
Same here. Lots of FC's and some apps don't work.

I had to bail on ICS after struggling mightily to resolve the personalize problem, and I was scared to death about bricking the brand new phone after fighting the mainver problem seeking a return to stock root. Luckily, I found the RezRom GB Rom that includes an automatic fix for reversion from ICS. I highly recommend it, though I quickly nandroided back to stock root. I will be going back to RezRom this weekend when I have more time to tweak it.
The FC's of Sense and personalization appears to be related to apps installed on the SD Card.
Go into settings > apps > on phone (2nd tab) and uncheck any apps that have a check mark and move them to the phone.
If you have none checked and still getting the FC's then for sure I am wrong.
^ but none of mine are on the SD card?
Getting it on cleanROM 3.0 for the first time, no apps on sd card.

Looks great so far. The Home launcher is much more responsive so I can do away with ADW EX for now.
Kind of wish there were more small apps, but browser, calculator and IR remote are great choices for those and they work terrifically.
What do you guys think so far?

Uninstall from settings and go in as market... That fixed it for me...
The tablet was initially very laggy after the update but a reboot seemed to fix things, with the exception of the notification menu. It stutters very noticeably and is extremely annoying. Many apps also don't rotate properly anymore.
Still better than Honeycomb despiute those drawbacks.

DAMN YOU SONY!!!
Things i hate:
- this annoying wifi keepalive issue is still there!!! there is no way to keep wifi active during standby -.- damned why don't they let us users the choice... there IS an option to set the standby behavior but its still completely useless....
- sometimes there are widget issues (doesn't matter if 3rd party or preinstalled) that widgets change into editor mode when just pressing a button like update... changing screen ang going back will fix this temporarily... had this 2 times now...
- auto brigtness issue still not resolved... in low light the screen is MUCH too dark and when changing from full brightess to automatic it keeps full for a while and then goes down to min
- homescreen lag is still too much in portrait
- forced portrait is still not changable (damn i'm righthanded and want to hold it on the ROUND side when portrait is forced!!!!)
- the new ICS launcher... Sonys previous own launcher had a better overview with the sorting possibilities but ok we can have folders now...
- still no thumb keyboard -.-
things i like:
- media from SD card is now directly available and nut just for transfer... finally i have enough memory also without root and mounting stuff ^^
- the new mini-apps are nice but there is still much potential for more apps
- the new version of "Favorites" App is very nice animated and faster
- ICS possibility to deactivate system apps that are not removable... finally i get this google music player away
- a few other ICS related things...
ALL IN ALL this update is a big disappointement... they updated to ICS, integrated one or thwo new features and that's it??? all the big issues are still there since more than six months!!!!!
I have personally had a fantastic experience with the ICS update. Everything seems faster across the board. Menus more responsive, faster browser, better keyboard response/feedback. I also like the ICS look and feel and the mini apps. Really happy with the update so far.
I used to be able to DL directly to my SD Card, and using ES File Manager to move files around. Now it refuses to do so. Anyone else having this issue? If not, what file manager are you using?
My tablet seems to have gone really slow after the ICS update.
I tried a factory restore to ensure that I didnt have too many things installed and decided to start afresh. Didnt help. The tablet is still very slow. While the touch is responsive and I like the features of ICS like slide to dismiss, reading files directly from SD card etc, I definitely donot like the amount of lag I am noticing.
All my apps seem to be really really slow.
My Honeycomb seemed to be far more faster irrespective of all the issues that it had.
Any suggestions anyone?? I am on non rooted US version 16Gb Wifi.

On the first time, it took a while to show up as windows tried to reinstall the drivers for the tablet. Maybe you should keep it connected on USB and wait for a while and see if it shows up?

The problem with that app from the market is that it keeps the device awake when you turn off the screen, and it eats through the battery.
On the Android phones I've used (Legend, Desire, Arc S), the WiFi remained connected, but the phone also went to sleep, battery drain was minimal.
This is the behaviour we were expecting to see in the ICS update, but unfortunately it hasn't been fixed...
Hey, i have a 3g tablet, because that i have to wait for upgrading.

Hi everyone,
I have tried to search for a solution to my problem but I haven't been very successful. If anyone knows of links to possible resolutions to my problem, please reply with them.
I have an issue with the chrome browser starting with a completely black screen. At first I thought it was only my last phone (RAZR HD), but the problem is also present on my Verizon Note 3. If it were just an issue on a single phone, I'd probably ask in specific phone forums, but it's happened on two different phones now.
I'm presuming that the problem might be caused by an app I'm using, but the problem is intermittent so I can't tell if the issue subsides when I uninstall certain apps.
Any help or insight in this issue is appreciated.
Thanks
I have the same issue. Seems in my case its ANY 4.3 rom. It started after an update to Chrome around the fifteenth or so of November. It'll work but if I change tabs or switch apps it will turn black when resuming. Older versions of Chrome don't have the problem. I've gone back to a 4.2.2 root box rom with no problems.

The latest update to chrome doesn't render the pages immediately.
This would most likely be to open chrome faster.
However, users are reporting that they don't get past a black screen.
This is common.
Go complain to google devs though, not here. (The bug tracker they have)
Right on. Will do. Not so much complaining as just sharing with the OP. Thanks for letting us know its very common. My searches have not returned much information at all. Including Google searches and searches here and on XDA.
Thanks again!

I see. My RAZR HD was still on 4.1.2 and this was an issue there too. Thanks for the information.
Side note: I'm glad I wasn't the only person having difficulty searching on this subject.
sorry for the huge bump but if anyone was wondering my dpi was 350 and this issue stated when my Rom was changed to a 350 DPI. I used xposed and App Settings to change the DPI of chrome to 480 and no more black screens
EDIT(2 hours later):Nope it just came back.

Welp, doing it over on a different port and cable seems to have handled it.
Flashed it.
Might be placebo but it seems much smoother.
Also the recent bug is fixed and the toggles in the Account Sync have been changed.
Images flashed......"optimizing app 98 of 154" so first 5.1 boot should be soon.
Anybody tested this bug?

What about wifi performance and the audio bug wile/straight after charging/docked?
I don't understand what the bug is. I never experienced it before, but I can try to replicate it in 5.1 if you explain what I am supposed to do clearly.

What I got is, sometimes when starting the N10 while charging, there is no sound at all, and I have to reboot the N10 without charging to get the sound back.
I tried with 5.1 and so far, 5-6 times, no bug, but as I said is only happening sometimes before...
Audio Bug Squashed?
It looks like 5.1 has fixed the audio bug. It has for me at least.

Using the default Launcher3, not really. The Google Launcher lags when pulling down the tray, and lags all other animations for that matter. It always has since 4.4, but I put up with it because I like the GEL. It doesn't lag anywhere else thankfully, so it's your call.
On March 10th I did a factory image update to 5.1 but did not wipe user data on both my Nexus 10 and 5.. At least for me, this is the best version of Lollipop I've experienced.
My Nexus 10 was more stable than my Nexus 5 on any 5.0.x release but it seems that all the issues I'd been experiencing are resolved. On 5.0.x my Nexus 5 experienced the memory leak causing UI slow downs, odd reboots, total freezes needing power cycles and frequent disconnects of both WiFi and my cell network.
Android 5.1.0 did break the K9 email reader but that was fixed this morning and Jota+ SMB support currently is not functioning. On the Nexus 10 my battery stats still does not update always showing 100% charge even when its been off the charger for hours. Its been like that for a long time including with KitKat.
I am rooted and use a number of app beta versions including Nova Launcher, GMD Gesture Control and GMD Auto Hide Software keys, Viper4Android and they all worked before and after the OS update. That is a little surprising as previous Lollipop 5.0.x updates had broken more apps when they were first released. For the first time in a long time MX Player Pro still worked after an OS upgrade.
This was what the Lollipop release should have been. I'm happy especially as my Nexus 5 is as reliable as it was with KitKat.
That's great. Smooth
My 5.02 Nexus got an OTA to 5.1 last night (I'm in the UK). Everything seems fine and I am really happy that I have a tablet that is still supported.

Hi.
I have narrowed it down to when i bring up google search with the swipe up gesture. Once on google search the screen becomes unresponsive. But a can reboot by pressing the power button and choosing 'reboot now'. I may try and reinstall it.
This only started happening with 5.1.

Hi guys,
Im on .242 android 5.0.2 stock rooted with xposed. I already have Lollipop Memory Leak Fix installed and it seems to help in making the phone not lag, but launchers still redraw often. I tried Nova and also Xperia home and both redraws a lot. I know that Nova has agreesive desktop mode but it doesn't help much. Sometimes it seems to keep it from killed but the home button still has long delay when the launcher wants to redraw.
Do you guys also have this issue? I thought memory leak fix would fix launcher redraw as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry to disappoint you, but you can uninstall the fixer app because Sony has fixed the leak in their firmwares. Sony apps and services, as well as some Google ones are big RAM hoggers, you can disable some of them.

Thanks for reply! Are you sure Sony fixed it? I was having major lag issues and sometime random reboots. Right after reboot, it was fine, then after a few hours, the phone started lagging. After installing the fixer, it doesn't lag at all now, and it's pretty consistent. But the only thing is, the launcher keeps redrawing. Pretty often.
Yup, 100% sure, there is a thread in Cross-dev section where @IaguCool compared some smali files and it turned out that Sony has fixed it.

Apparently what sony did is just implemented that fix you just installed. So you doesn't have to Install it again, it's pointless...it doesn't fix the ram and redraw issues...it happen to every lollipop rom not just sony. I think the fix will be in 5.1....if your in 5.0, chances are you have to wait for the real fix...
So I don't understand. If its already fixed, why is my launchers keep redrawing?? Its driving me crazy ? if I reboot, no redraw for about 10 hours maybe, then redraw starts again, when exiting every few apps.
Could anyone please let me know how to stop launcher redraw?
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Have you performed a hard reset before or after the lollipop update?
I followed the same advice after experiencing the same issues, I unlocked the bootloader so that it automatically did a hard reset deleting everything on internal memory, and it's been a new phone altogether.
Redraws sometimes happen with Chrome or apps that demand huge ram, but like 1/20th of the times.
No random reboots so far, it seems the right solution.
Just backup everything on the external memory and go back to factory settings.
You'll notice the difference right away.
