Hello all,
Just bought my Nexus 9 last week, 16 GB Wifi Model and I wanted to see if any of you have experienced performance issues. Specifically I am seeing that when I am in an app for some duration of time, when I hit the home button, sometimes it takes the device several seconds to return to the home screen and load all of the apps and widgets AND background image. It seems like this shouldn't be happening as often as it does. I have even tried ElementalX kernel to see maybe if boosting performance would help but it hasn't done much in the way of this problem I'm having. Just seems like this tablet has enough processor, RAM, GPU under the hood for this not to be happening - if this is uncommon I'm going to go ahead and return it for a new unit
Performance has been great for me, significantly better than my G2. I'm unsure of why some people are having negative experiences with stock compared to others, but I would suggest that you try a reset. If that doesn't work you could try rooting, then flashing a custom ROM.
If after all of that your device still shows lag I think you should return it.

5.0 on N9 is deeply flawed. Wait for the 5.1 update and then see how your N9 performs. If your return window is closing soon, return it now and check back when 5.1 is widely available on the N9.

Yeah I haven't had time to sift through all of the details from previous threads but if that sums it up, I think I am willing to wait it out. It's not terrible, it's just not the performance I expected from the tablet especially after reading reviews on Engadget saying how buttery smooth it is. By and large it is very smooth but has that issue with having to reload the home screen frequently which I just don't think should happen. It does seem like a software issue overall
I just bit the bullet and installed one of the latest 5.1 custom ROMs (Dirty Unicorns 9.2 test build 3/31/15), and it certainly is a noticeable improvement over the stock 5.01 ROM I was running. So, whether you wait for the official OTA, or load up one of the custom ROMs, 5.1 should fix the problems you mention.

Thanks for the update, I will probably wait it out for the stock 5.1 and see how it goes. Last I checked there weren't any factory images yet, I'll have to look again

Hi guys, Sorry if a thread like this exists, if so, please let an admin erase this one.
But as for the current year 2013, I'm planning on changing my Ipad 2, for another tablet, (obviously android based). I've been reading, seeing some specs, and people claim the Prime is a little bit better than the TF300, and the infinity is a little bit out of my budget. I know the TF701 is comming but as for the things I've seen it's not a big upgrade from the infinity and offcourse it will come at a hiiiiiighheeeeer price.
So Would you recommend the Prime? The reasons I'm considering the Prime is because I want a 10.1 tablet with keyboard, lately my studies demand a lot of note taking and I'm faster typing on a keyboard than writing on paper, Besides what I love of my ipad is the battery life, and according to reviews and specs the Prime have a better performance in that matter. The only downsides I see on the prime is the Tegra 3 but still it's a quad-core processor. The other downside is the 1GB of RAM but I'd have to cope with that.
Appart of your opinions, I would like to know:
1. Can i set up the dock keyboard language? 'cause my mother language is spanish
2. How are things going with JB? as i read there were problems regarding gamming performance
3. What about development, is it active or is this a phantom forum?
4. Are ROMs Stable and do some improve battery performance?
5. Does the dock Keyboard work on all ROMs? (what about CM, AOSP based ROMs)
6. Are there still wifi problems? like short coverage. So I heard because of the metal casing
7. What do you think about your Primes life-expectancy will it survive for around three more years?
I think that's all for now, so guys hope you can help me..
Hi,
The Prime has poor Wifi performance and almost no GPS. AFAIK the other two do not have does problems.
1: Yes, you can
2: Androwook (2.2) works great for me!
3: Development is active, but not as much as for some other devices EDIT: Maybe not that active, didn´t look around for a while
4: I only know Androwook, which, in Version 2.2 is stable. Battery life is good (Two days for me in University!)
5: I dont know.
6: yes.
7: With a custom ROM, it should. It will be outclassed by newer tablets, of course.

Is this with 2.3 or 2.31 mate?
I have never encountered any dock problems. Did you dirty flash ?
The won't wake up from sleep was a bug in 2.3 with Hunds kernel and should have been fixed in 2.31. If you are still getting it with 2.31 try the stock kernel and see if it still happens.
The freezes again could be related to Hunds kernel and you not having enough power when overclocked. Was you in performance mode when this happened? Also did you try the voltage increase addon that was included in the Kernel Selection page of 2.31 Installer?

2.31, never tried 2.3
I am using Data2SD, forgot to mention.
The first install was clean, it lastet a few hours till it froze, but I did a Backup after setting it up.
I did not wipe bevor restoring the backup, doe TWRP seemed to format bevor restoring.
The Dock problems hapend after the first freeze, so that could be a problem from the restore.
I did a stability test without voltage fix, no crash there. I did not test the fix long enough yet to know if it worked - so far its okay.
Freezes happend on the homescreens. And once it did not boot while crashing asleep, might be the same problem.
All in balanced mode, except the stability test.
I did not try stock kernel yet. Will try that if it hapens again

No, no it isn't, i've had problem after problem after problem, i'd have been better off putting it in the bin or eating my dinner off it.
Yeah, I figured after these few answers. I'll wait and see how the next tf701 performs.
Whoa, Did I really say that?
I remember posting in the KitKat thread daily and looking at various LG sources for the newest update. I got excited when I saw how much faster and smoother KitKat was in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UcvB4aD0KA
When I first tried KitKat I was really impressed. Maybe it was placebo. But it felt smoother and nicer. And I got Immersive mode too! Then I noticed that the battery drained faster, but I learned to accept that. Recently; I was barely able to reach 4h 30 min of SOT on kitkat. The standby times were awful, too, and without root, you have no way of checking what's eating your battery.
It all culminated with the 20D update, that rendered VOIP useless and impossible. I then decided I wanted to return to JB.
I had almost forgotten how GOOD Jelly Bean was. Sure, there's lockscreen lag, occasional scroll animation lag and no immersive mode, but apart from that, I barely notice any major drawbacks. Battery life is so much better, wakelock detectors function perfectly and VOIP works!
So for those of you who have had this thought in your mind for long, just do it. The process of going back to jelly bean took me about 5 minutes and I'm happy with my decision, at least for now.
Have you had a similar experience then please share it!

I bought my G2 before KK was released for it. Initially, I was only delaying the upgrade because Swiftkey wouldn't work for kitkat on the G2. I am staying on Jellybean now. Everyone I know with this phone complains of issues now after going to KK.

I have zero issues on kitkat. Then again im running aosp.
Jellybean was trash for the vs980 because of reboots, and sod's on aosp.
I will agree on stock jellybean I had better battery life, but if you need better than a day off charge with 5-7 hours sot, you have issues.
I'll pass.

T-mobile D801 here, latest KK.
absolutely zero issues here. the battery life is actually better, the performance across the board is way better, the extra features are great and worth it. the only issue i was concerned with before the upgrade was the audio hiss / distortion but as it turned out D801 has never suffered from it and on latest KK the sound is as good as with JB for me.
Agree... Except the camera was unbearable!!
Still, I think it's excellent we can go back. Subscribed.

SwiftKey worked on Kitkat since day one. You would just get a popup that gapps stopped working once you turned the phone on but that was all.

You are more than free to pass, but the thing is - on kitkat, I was barely able to get four hours of SOT on a regular basis. And since I'm an unrooted user, I have NO ways of checking what's draining my battery at all. Sure Jelly Bean is not flawless, but battery life is very important to me and seems more stable all around.

My device never had the hissing problem with KitKat, and the perfomance was generally much snappier. But the international KitKat didn't seem to be refined at all, so maybe TMo did their job!

I agree. But I actually figured that the phone runs much cooler on Jelly Bean BECAUSE the speed doesn't jump to 2.26Ghz instantly. I also think that the refined ondemand is what's taking a toll on the battery =)
JB had HORRIBLE bluetooth drivers on stock for my device in my Honda Civic. The static in the background was borderline unbearable. KK update fixed it so I'm sticking with KK. Battery life could be better though, I do agree. Something I've always noticed about all devices I've owned is that the shipping OS is always the most stable.

Now that you remind me - I occasionally played music from my phone in my dad's car through bluetooth. I only have lossless music on my G2 (.FLAC), so the music quality of the files is generally very good. On kitkat, however, I would start hearing background noises at higher volumes. That's not a problem on Jelly Bean at all.
I guess you're right about your observation, although instead of going back to the 10A which my phone shipped with, I downgraded to 10F (a version of the software, which I never got). The only major difference I feel between 10A and 10F (and keep in mind it's over 4 months since I last used JB) is, that knock on is much faster on 10F and very comparable to KitKat. The only thing I really miss, however, is the CPU jumping up to an adequate frequency to prevent lockscreen lag.
I do agree with the fact JB had stellar battery life compared to KK, although i feel like if i go back to JB, mentally thinking i feel outdated compare to the other phones out there, but thats just me haha, i never had any lags when i first got my G2 out of the box, highly disappointed the fact KK did the opposite in terms of battery life. Honestly i cant really complain, this battery still beats all the devices ive owned or came across and tried for a few days, M7, S4 etc
I guess the kk battery is also more bad because like you guys said it is fast and smoother then the jb stock and jb stock is cooler so yh... Their kernel. Kk stock users must just use dorimanx kernel its better and safer then the stock one

"I had almost forgotten how GOOD Jelly Bean was."
R u sure you meant "GOOD" and not "BAD"???
You can always go back to JB and then months later, you could say the same thing "I had almost forgotten how GOOD Kit Kat was."
C'mon, m8, move forward.
I have seen too many people eager to get the new update (that many people usually do curse mfg. for slow update) then demand to go back.
Same exact reaction with Windows OS.
I personally have no issue with KK.
Im going to 4.4.4 cm11 to see what its like and if its cack ill be going back to jb i think.
Hi there little-biggie users
I would like to know some information from those who use the latest CM11 on Z Ultra.
Does everything work? I mean for example WiFi tethering ... because I read there have been problems.
Is it smooth enough? stock 4.4.4 is very smooth ... some people say 4.3 was better ... I know it is not important, but how much does it score in AnTuTu?
Is it worth moving from stock to CM? I had Xperia Neo before ... so I have experience with flashing etc. ... but I do not have much time now and just want to be sure.
Thank you for your answers :good:

I'm not using CM (I\m building Carbon for the community so use that) but tethering was fixed about a month or so ago. No AOSP/CM11 seems to score quite as high as Stock on antutu, but benchmarks aren't everything.
I will pick Aosp performance over CM anytime.

They keep improving thanks to ever-excellent dev work. I tried some benchmarks for the first time recently, and got almost 40,000 points on Antutu v5 with both Slim/CandyKat and LiquidSmooth (optimised CM11 kernel) with pretty stock settings. PAC-ROM scored a bit lower at ~35-36,000 with the standard CM11 kernel.
I personally find Sony ROMs the smoothest graphically, but the benefits of custom ROMs outweigh this for me.
Haven't tried stock, but using latest nightly (not that many commis have been merged since my was forked).
It's very nice. I can only compare it with cm on note 3, but this seems better. I have a small issue with the light sensor, but everything else world fine. Smooth. I'm using ART, and I've had 0 reboots or fc's compared to the other mentioned device.
I've heard that stock is nice, but for the latest and greatest you'll have to run a cm/aosp base? Hopefully we'll see the next Android iteration soon..
I just moved off stock to CM11.2 about a week ago and I'm liking it but there is something wonky with the dialer, when I make or receive a call if I hang up using the red bar it doesn't hang the call up. The red bar turns dark and the person is still on line.
Oh, got one other complaint, the camera is VERY VERY slow to come up, like 30-60 seconds sometimes. I've also seen it unable to connect.
Those are about my only complaint. It's way better than Sony and getting my Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, and Recovery back is worth it.
Marc
Only issue is the camera sometimes forced close .. other than that , battery life is awesome , smooth and fast. On top of this I flashed a OnePlusOne conversion kit and everything works. I like the screencast app. I like this new build.
Theme engines are awesome too...
for the camera see the fix in most of the custom ROM threads
bugs everywhere but not more or fewer than other roms

Should i root and install pure nexus rom on my nexus 9?
Will i get a performance upgrade in normal day to day use?
Yes, difference is huge, like day and night.
Nexus 9 on stock is unusable slow for me.
Example:
Play Music, Youtube and so on open like 5 times as fast as before
Web Browsing is not stuttering/lagging all the time
General Performance difference is really noticeable
I'm running PureNexus Rom + FireIce Kernel
I tried it, but I did not really notice any difference, but I only tried it for a few hours. I noticed that apps opened quicker with CyanogenMod (that could be attributed that to running minimal Google Apps by using OpenGapps Pico) but that could just be in my mind.
What rom did you try and what kernel?
I'm not a cyanogenmod fan, feel like their rom is always a bit slower than others.
DirtyUnicorn is pretty fast as well.
Personally the only ROM I have been happy with on my nexus 9 has been pure nexus. I've changed out kernels a bit but settled with fire ice kernel. Maxed out CPU and GPU over clock and haven't complained about performance for both games and apps. I ran stock for a few weeks and this is a lot better. (Pure nexus) I don't do benchmarks and what not but the overall feel with fsync off is what I originally expected it to be out of the box. Its a nexus. Give it a try if you hate it go back to stock. That's the joy of the nexus. I also use pure nexus on my nexus 6 and love it the same.

I tried Pure Nexus ROM and perhaps one or two others (aside from CM). I tried EX & FireIce kernels.
Regarding the performance or user experience, I have no proof. Just opinion.
Honestly, it is so easy to just try the ROMs & kernels, I wonder why these threads ever pop up. Just try them and see which one you prefer.
so i know that this phone is 4 years old. but in 2016/2017 it had a high end cpu/4gb ram(even today it has a higher antutu scores than lots of newers models). yet it feels so laggy to work on after some use, mine still has stock android. but i feel like when swaping between apps, or using them , it just feels crappy. also the phonebook behave weird, can't add phone numbers cause i get this thing ''phonebook stoped working'' , and almost all my contacts dissapeared like i deleted them. i'm not the type of person that changes phones every year,i had mine 3 years now. but i think i'm just gonna give up on this phone, and get something that gets software updates
Things get corrupted after a while, apps you've installed running in background hogging resourses, etc. Do a factory reset, or better still, flash a recent Anroid 9 or 10 rom. This phone still flies on the right rom.
Heyyo, yeah depending on your build of EUI ROM? It'll suck. Anything prior to 19s is definitely garbage. X821 19s was pretty good and same with x829 20s or x820 30s (albeit with ads). The best way to experience EUI ROM is CrisBalGreece modified versions.
Otherwise? I highly recommend custom ROMs. We have a lot of great Android 9 ROMs and Android 10 is pretty decent albeit with more bugs.

It simply because the chipset it is using is a "bad" one..... You can see this with every Snapdragon 820 and 821 phones(Zuk Z2, Google Pixel 1(OG) etc) ... They heat up and throttle down easily = lag... on paper the 82x should be able to outperform a SD625 any day but not so in real life.... with custom ROM they are much more manageable... I think you should definitely be fine with custom ROM unless you are planning on gaming on it...

The Xperia Z3 Compact are Snapdragon 801.... Those were great... on paper SD820 or 821 should be miles ahead in performance compared to 801 or 800... but IRL on most of the phones they usually suck... (I did saw someone swear that his Oneplus 3 ran great after getting angry because I said SD820 821 are bad chipsets... then again Oneplus 3/3T probably have a much bigger ROM community both dev and user wise)
unfortunately I also just recently took my Le Max 2 from the drawer and started fiddling with these new android 9/10 roms, I can't give much advice... I'm currently on Android 9 Lineage it's pretty stable.
Generally, you'd want custom ROM so you can remove the bloatware, install a custom kernel so you can use a kernel that better manage the chipset(battery or usagewise) and a config that might suit your usage...CMIIW

The Xperia Z3 Compact are Snapdragon 801.... Those were great... on paper SD820 or 821 should be miles ahead in performance compared to 801 or 800... but IRL on most of the phones they usually suck...

so today i have instaled the first time a custom ROM,after struggling with twrp for 2hours . i have instaled AospExtended ROM V6.0 [X2] (adroid PIE) . it move more smoothly for sure,but not sure it moves this way beucase it's just a fresh rom..will way some weeks to see if it keeps up.
and about instaling a custom kerne . isn't that coming instaled with the ROM?
I have my device for nearly two years, and I am using eui 6.0.30s CBG cleaned edition since last year... I never face any kind of lag or bug except the lag caused by power save mod, which automatically enables itself when the battery goes down under %5. I think full wipe+reinstall firmware would be a great solution for you.
Heyyo, I definitely don't agree that 820/821 is bad lol... That's ridiculous. It's true that back in 2016 no one cared about proper cooling for the SoC though. I've seen people mod their x2 and zl1/0's with thermal pads or non-conductive thermal paste and get a heck of a lot better thermal management for just a few pennies of extra cooling.
On any pie or Q ROM though, we do have tuned thermal-engine.conf by Shiva which helps quite a bit and also allows for better sustained performance too which also performs a lot better than EUI ROM which focuses more on lower temperatures than balancing thermals and performance.
Anywho, yeah, if you're upset with performance of EUI ROM? I'd definitely recommend a custom ROM. Anything on pie that's actively maintained is a good idea.
Android 10 ROMs still sometimes have performance stutters for now... So hopefully later on it'll work better, so that's why I recommend for now sticking with pie.

dude.. people mod their x2 and zl1/0's with thermal pads or non-conductive thermal paste and get a heck of a lot better thermal management for just a few pennies of extra cooling. .. I never had to do that on SD800/801 phones lol...
since you are very determined that its not a bad phone , I'm taking out my Le Max 2 a second time .... hehe... I occasionally play Mobile Legends.. any other tips you can give?
Nexus 5 was SD800 and was known for overheating issues

Like I said, the main thing would be to switch to a custom ROM that has Android Pie and is decently updated. Most of those pie custom ROMs will have pretty decent thermals while still delivering decent performance.
