Hi guys, here I want to make a thread that gathers all the bugs of the nexus 10. It's not that many anyway. But I found one. it's actually a software bug with the youtube app. When you click on a video, the screen-rotation lock does not work. it's quite annoying
It isn't really a bug, that's just how the YouTube app works. I like it on my phone, as I usually have rotation turned off, but still want full screen videos.

oh well, on my Note 10.1, the lock function works in the youtube tho. Im not sure this is a bug or Google design their Jelly bean that way. But i think when the users want to lock the screen, it should lock with every apps.
I found a bug. Open the keyboard in a text field and hit the lock button. Then turn it back on and you can see the down arrow on the bottom status bar. It doesn't do anything when you press it either.
Maybe its just me, but the scrolling in apps such as xda, Facebook, and others does not seem quite as smooth as my galaxy s3. Any reason for that? Other than that I am completely in love with this tablet, no issues whatsoever.

Optimization or lack of could be the reason. SG3 Is quite a different comparison since its a phone with different specs. I also have the SG3. Its helping me cope since I no longer have my Note 10.1 and waiting for this tablet to ship.

Yeah I think that's the answer, since this doesn't exist in apps such as gmail or YouTube.

Also running the S3 and thinking the same thing about the N10... love it but some thing aren't as fluid as the S3
However I'm betting the nexus is going to get better and better with time
I'm having an issue with "Glow Hockey" where lines randomly appear on screen for about a second. Similar to artifacts on PC. Haven't seen it else where so it may be application specific. Anyone having an issue with that game?
Nexus 10 - Bugs Noticed
I hope I am in the correct spot to post this. I am having a few problems with the Nexus 10 (4.2,1): I have always used the slingbox app but now the video starts, freezes right away and hangs but the audio continues. Words with friends seems to have issues when placing letters on the board, they don't get placed where directed and once placed I cannot move a single letter off without doing a recall of all letters. Other than these issues, so far so good. I really love this unit. Now I need to find a good set of accessories for it. It's very odd going from this back to my tiny cell phone !
N10 messes up the card flip animation
When executing the card flip animation of the Android developers' site the N10 (A4.2.2) skips a part of the animation and gets the proportions wrong. See developer.android.com/training/animation/cardflip.html

Ok I got my Gnote yesterday at BestBuy(upgraded from my skyrocket). When I got home to play with it it seemed to drag a$$ and was pretty choppy, almost like it was pushing it limits on memory or something. I restarted the phone but no help. Next I downloaded golauncher thinking it would help but no luck.
I’ve also noticed that whenever I select wallpaper it zooms all the way in on the pic (which looks like crap) and it doesn’t scroll. I’ve tried everything. Help me XDA
I hope there’s a simple fix for all these issues my phone is having. My skyrocket was flawless. Hell my infuse don’t seem too bad now.
Video quality isn’t that great either. What gives Samsung?????
I was able to get better wallpaper using zedge on the market. It doesnt zoom in like selecting from folder.

Actually read other reviews before inferring that all notes have performance comparable to yours - mine is hardcore fast. No lag, no stutters, no nothing but performance. Download some appstore apps to monitor background processes and see if there is a rogue something running. That, or you may have a faulty device.
Coming from an Atrix, SGS2, Skyrocket, Droid Razr, and International Galaxy Note this is the smoothest phone I've ever owned. Only issue I have is getting calendar to sync with Google calendars.

Mine is running the same way. Checking memory usage it is definitely pushing its limits. I'm at 557mb right now. Hoping it's just this rom and when we have development it'll improve.
Either way, I love this phone. I've had no issues with camera or video quality.

Factory reset if laggy. There really should be no lag, go try another note and trade in. When i get mine next week, ill be sitting there all day making sure it responds well, if not ill argue. Edit: ok there may be a little but it can not be worse then my infuse lol.
Actually my note is kinda "laggy, sluggish, choppy" as well. I'm kind of a sad man right now, I still LOVE this thing but it's performance is not all that great at the moment for me.
Not entirely sure why either...I tried a few launcher none make it better and some make it worse.

Same here. very dissapointed. Its slower than my infuse, but then my infuse is running a custom rom.
Worst example by far is the market. load it up and scroll up and down, soooo choppy and laggy. starting to think I might have made a mistake not getting the international. I'm really surprized.
I'm sure once I overclock it and toss launcher pro on it I will be happier, I'm just really surprized that I have to do that.

Really strange. I am completely stock right now with all the bloat still installed, microbes live wallpaper, and I just tried this in the market and get no lag whatsoever.
I went to the AT&T store and the Note was laggy. I killed background tasks, eliminated widgets, removed bloatware... nothing
I really like the screen size + google maps navigation but I'm not good at rooting so I've gotta see if this lag stuff continues on stock before taking the plunge.
Hmm :/ I'll take a video of it tomorrow. All power saving options are off, nothing much running in the background. Maybe I should take it into an ATT store and compare it side by side to the ones on display.
I'm glad most others aren't having this problem, that means its something that can get fixed or replaced rather than just being an underpowered processor for the resolution of the screen.
Its a new device with a new processor... Its funny to me how much people are seriously complaining and stressing about "lag". You guys do know the international one had a bunch of "lag" when it came out right? Its a new device that will see updates to its system that help improve UI. **** if you arent willing to get your hands dirty and root/freeze apps/rom the thing, what are you doing on a developers site?? Its not the phones problem, its your unreasonable expectations. Ask international note owners from day 1 if they had "lag". How many *****y My PHONE IS LAGGING threads do we need? If you hate it and arent willing to go through the process of improving it yourself, return it and wait a few months.
Oh and have a nice day

^Somebody needs to get laid STAT!
I'm absolutely willing to do all of that, and I will, but going from a captivate, to an infuse, to this, and having it be the slowest out of the box when the other two were single core just strikes me as not right. And with others stating that they don't have this issue, makes me think there must be something going on here. Before I mask the problem with the OC kernel and a new launcher I'd rather know that there isn't something wrong with my specific note.
Glad the lag doesn't bother you

just curious if anyone has noticed this with the amaze? ive noticed that with some apps, particularly with fonts while scrolling, i get screen ghosting. it usually doesnt happen when im watching a video or playing a game, but when im scrolling thru my homescreens (using golauncher) my widgets will ghost a bit. pure news widget does it pretty bad while im scrolling up and down and mclock will do it as im scrolling between homescreens. havent noticed it too much with sense widgets/apps, but admittedly i dont use the sense launcher. thoughts?
Yep, I have this too. It's the thing where the moving parts seem to blur when in motion right?
I have it too ANNOYS the hell out of me. Then I got used. But when I do pay attention to it its hard not to notice until I put it in my pocket for a while again.

Yup, that's it. Its weird because it doesn't happen with every app. I usually notice it the most with text on screen. The letters become a deeper shade of whatever color they are. Its like it blurs, then as soon as I stop scrolling, they look normal again.
It buggs me too. I sincerely hope that issue is fixed in a future update

from what i know of ghosting, it has to do with the screens refresh rate, so im not sure (correct me if im wrong) that a software update will fix it. the fact that i never heard of this while doing my research prior to getting this phone, leads me to believe a few things; nobody notices it, not that many people have the issue, or nobody cares. either way, htc wouldnt recognize it as an issue, thus no fix.
I thought this was normal lol. I hope this is fixable.

Maybe it is software based, I just got an Amaze and I don't see any ghosting while in motion.

stock rom does the same thing. if youve just gotten your phone, chances are you havent used it enough with a bunch of different apps to notice.
ive been doing a bit more research and have seen others notice the blur on different phones as well, some more noticeable than others. seems like there could be a few things that may cause this:
1. app is not optimized for qhd screen
2. anti-aliasing
3. bad screen
since in my experience i havent noticed it with every app (or maybe its less noticeable but still present), im leaning more towards number one. hopefully more people can chime in with their experience
I can't seem to replicate it and I use go launcher quite a bit. Maybe its just because I don't realize it?

what widgets do you have on your home screen?
Have a stock DNA and I've noticed laggy or choppy scrolling in apps such as Facebook, Instagram, even browsing the web. Is this related to Sense or a setting in the DNA?
I came from a Google Galaxy Nexus previously and didn't have this bug...the scrolling on that phone was very smooth and continuous.
have you installed anything that could be slowing it down, My DNA is far smoother than any phone ive used before, including a galaxy nexus.
You could try checking the gpu rendering option in the developer options and see if that helps
The phone will get laggy if it overheats. Is the phone hot?
Sense?

Hmm...I don't have anything abnormal installed and I'm fully stock. Also, the device never gets hot (even when my GNex did.)
I suppose I could do a factory reset and try installing apps one at a time to find out if anything is slowing it down but that seems like such a PITA considering this is a quad-core phone w/ 2GB ram.
I was hoping someone else could confirm that their DNA was doing the same thing. =/

I've been having choppy scrolling in settings, trying to find what can be adjusted to make it stop showing black spots when scolling fast. But not having any lag per se.
I too have somewhat choppy scrolling in a few apps (news apps in particular). Stock also and nothing in settings or apps I have seems to affect it, nor does the heat of the device. Got a replacement phone after 3 weeks for a different problem and reinstalled everything slowly, checking to see if anything affected this issue. Nothing did. Cannot read articles as fast as on prior phones because of this, but have just adjusted my scrolling/reading habits.
Yeah it seems to be a problem sadly. In terms of loading speed and such the phone fairs fine, its just choppy as hell, I don't get it. Htc really dropped the ball on this one, with an s4 pro there's no excuse for this kind of performance. As far as I can tell its a mix of poor engineering and sense. You could probably fix the home screen choppiness with another launcher, as far as apps go....I have no clue :/

I second this. Even with the occassionally choppy scrolling in some apps (only a few on my phone, mind you), I still love how fast and smooth the DNA performs generally speaking and would not trade it for a other device currently on market. I think some of this will get better as apps are updated for our device.

Third. It's an on and off kind of thing that seems to vary from app to app. Skype scrolling lags like a mofo but USA Today and Opera have no problem whatsoever.

I love how everyone blames every little problem on the chance its a defective device. For the love of Christ we're talking about scrolling here, its a software issue, its not POSSIBLE for that to change on its own. Seriously, its not defective. My device lags on stock launcher with NOTHING installed. It just takes the right widget and app placement on the home screen. I'll gladly take a video of the phone lagging on scrolling after a FULL wipe if you really want me to. But frankly I don't need to because it's a well discussed issue and I don't need to take my time proving a problem that's already been brought up so many times. Seriously, go on Google and type in 'htc dna choppiness'. Accept the fact the HTC made a mistake (and everyone does, just in different ways) and move on.

If your device is lagging on the launcher then something is wrong, that is NOT normal.

Just got the s4 yesterday. I'm experiencing some lag issues with the gallery and mostly the text message app and sometimes other areas of the phone. When I click the text app it opens then if I click to open up one of the convos that's when I notice a big delay. It's like a 1 second delay. This is basically instant on my note 2. Is this a software problem that will hopefully be fixed soon or a hardware problem? Anyone else notice this? That text delay when you open up a convo.. Also SwiftKey seems to lag sometimes.

Try Handcent SMS or Handcent Pro Beta for texting. Much faster. If you use any 3rd party texting program remember to go to your installed applications and click on All and then disable Messaging which is the default messaging application. This way you don't get double notifications. Then drag the icon to your bottom bar and lock screen if applicable.
Ok I got chomp sms. It seems to be the fastest. Why do you think weather bug radar runs better on my note 2 than my s4? The s4 is so much more powerful it seems like everything should be faster and smoother.

If you're rooted, an app called Seeder will make your phone noticeably snappier and quicker. Maybe using a custom launcher instead of the stock TouchWiz launcher might also help.

no matter what, you can always rearrange your home screen again to make it look how you want...
follow the steps listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798
that will root the phone. make sure you install a custom recovery like twrp or cwm, and make a backup. then, download titanium backup pro (it is like $6.99), and go in and freeze the apps you don't feel you need. make sure you do your research first as to what apps you are freezing, there are lists of bloatware posted all over the site. that will debloat your phone for the most part. after that, you can start to flash custom rom's with different tweaks built in. cleanrom is really nice, as is hyperdrive.

If you do want to root your device, I suggest looking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798
There isn't a whole lot you can do to fix lag or anything else without rooting and flashing a custom ROM.
I'm seriously thinking about returning it which is a shame bcuz I love the look and feel of the phone. I seriously just played gta vice city on it and it's choppy and laggy. It runs perfect on my note 2. Wtf is going on? I know the hardware isn't messed up bcuz the benchmarks are insanely high. Much higher than my note 2.

Perfect timing then. As everyone says, you've got to clean the bloat but it has to be loosened first so heat up a kettle of water and let the water vapor soak into the phone. Once that's done the real clean begins. Just as any bacteria or virus it's got to be nuked to kill it, so stick it in the microwave on high (not "hi") for 2 minutes. if you smell somethiny funky that means all is well and an extra minue or two wont hurt.
Lastly, the dead bloatware has to be extricated from the phone so use a small screwdriver to lift a corner of the glass and then shake out the dead bloatware.. Now its time to root so get a shovel and Miraclegrow ready.
CAMERA or Camcorder turns on Transition Animation Scale to 1x!!!!
hi all,, im a noob i know,,, ive had rooted S3 for a year now, love it! got a new S4 few days ago,, rooted it,, deleted all s-bloatware, deleted all verizon bloat,, turned off all animations, and phone is still super laggy when waking up phone/doing anything,, old S3 runs circles around this S4,, called samsung today & they were no help at all,,called verizon,, they said they're pushing out a update in the next few "days" not weeks to fix an error message peeps are getting and also for the lag but more for the error is what i got from the convo,,-------- ANYWAYS my ACTUAL point of posting here is that i have noticed that every time i open the CAMERA or Camcorder on the S4 no matter if i take a picture/video or close the app right away it automatically turns on the Transition Animation Scale to 1x!!!! i would love to know if this happens to everyone and maybe they just haven't noticed lol,, also noticed that the S4 doesn't lag as much when its plugged in being charged not matter if battery is 100% or 5% but unplug phone and it adds more lag,, DO I JUST HAVE A DEFECT or what? if these things dont hold true on your S4 then i can just have them send me another one,, Or hopefully this update maybe called 4.3.1 for verizon will fix all this in the next few days,, thanks for reading

The 1x transition from the camera bug is well known but I'm not sure if they pushed an update to fix that or not. I have heard that they did push an update to fix the security notification bug, so if you still have it I would try to do the 4.3 update again to fix it (you will lose root and have to do that again though). Touchwiz is by nature pretty laggy but what you're describing is not normal... I would do a factory reset and see if that helps. On mine I have bloat frozen, greenify, etc and it runs fairly smooth. Not buttery, but smoother than what you're saying.
Yeah i've done factory resets and used the verizon repair tool which unroots and puts all bloat back a few time to.. still the same lag.. I did all the exact same thing on my old s3 and my s4 is just way slower.. and I'm sorry I couldn't find anything on the 1x camera thing so thanks for helping.. I do still wonder if the 1x thing is on all carries and models or just on random ones?

First of all, hello to all of you. I've been visiting xda for some time and i decided to finally make an account.
I have a GS3, bought last november and ever since i've got this weird thing. Besides screen redraws which have driven me nuts, sometimes when i exit an app (usually the browser), the shadow under the icons is gone for like half a second and it reapears, it's like the home screen is almost ready to redraw. Know i know that home screen redraws are like inevitable with this device but i hope someone can at least help me with the icons or if anyone has the same problem.
Thank you in advance and sorry if my english it's not good

Well, that's a consequense of another problem with this device, lack of enough memory for everything samsung decided to put in. This "new" problem is probably one of the most debated subjects around these foruns. If you read enough you'll eventually find the anwser but it boils down to:
- for the easy, safest but slightly better than original solution, replace your launcher for a lighter one that has some sort of lock in memory option. I use Nova launcher. Those not always work but may improve what you have.
- to better solve your problem you'll need to replace your rom. Or at least your kernel. There are plenty out there. For a samsung feel i'd recommend archidroid's samsung based. It's severily optimized to use the least possible without compromising anything you might want from samsung but most of all, if used correctly, is already set up to use zram that will compensate for that lack of memory (i'm using boeffla's kernel with nova launcher, not sure about the other options). This has solved my redrawing/multitasking problems for the most part. You might be able to get away with just the kernel change since that's where zram is set up but having a rom that autoloads less stuff is also helpful.
- the best experience i've had with the lack of memory issues was, by far, when i used an AOSP rom. Wasn't even using zram or swap mechanics, multitasking was simply awesome. There are disadvantages to aosp roms on the S3 but if that's even an issue to you, it's a whole different subject (to many people it's not).
Thank you for your advice! But i want to ask if the same thing happened to you? Not the redraws but with the shadow under icons reappearing.

Hum, cant say it did. But multitasking is a big thing to me so I didnt stay with stock for too long, so Im not sure what's happening there, but that's most likely a launcher issue. Id replace it to see if that problem goes away. Its easily done with nothing loss.

Well i did a factory reset and as of now, it works ok. I figured out it might have been some games to which i made backup with an app and then restore the app data, i wish it would be a easier way to backup app data without root. Hopefuly kit kat will solve some of the issues.

I'm sorry for the bump. But the problem with shadows dissappearing is happening again and i really need some help. Thank you.
