I've had my G3 for 2 days now. It is not yet rooted or tweaked aside from available options within the stock ROM. Everything seems to be working perfectly except Facebook. It works about half the time. but the other half it will open, freeze for a second, then just close. I've attempted to reboot the phone as well as even uninstalling/reinstalling the app to see if it solves it but it continues to happen.
My guess is that the app is having an issue with the extremely high display resolution. But if that were true I'd imagine other apps would be experiencing similar problems.
Any ideas?
that's odd, facebook has been stable for me
Now I can't even get facebook to open. it just freezes and hangs there. Hitting the home button a few times finally gets it back tot he homescreen to kill the app but it happens again every time.
what version are you using? mine is 14.0.0.0.11
14.0.0.0.11
What's funny is I just switched from DALVIK to ART. Not only is my phone SIGNIFICANTLY snappier now, but Facebook is now working flawlessly. :laugh:
...of topic
For those looking to eliminate all lag:
1) Go to Settings / Developer Options / Select Runtime then select "Use ART" and approve the change. The phone will reboot and optimize your apps (which takes a few minutes) but it's well worth it.
2) Go to Settings / Developer Options and change "Window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale" all down from 1x to .5x
After doing both of these my G3 now feels as snappy as my completely optimized Nexus 5 was.

If you BETA TESTER of facebook android app it can possible. I'm on beta stage of app that i receiving continuously updates for app. For now if i touch or tap to see comments app shutdowns. It's only allowing me likes. In prev. beta versions it wasn't allowed to browse albums of pages or friends. This is common problem on beta app. Otherwise the only way is seems to mail dev. team.
Thanks for the response. Since posting this thread I've actually gone back to my Nexus 5 and sold the G3. I was running into the same force close issue with facebook on the Nexus 5. I opted out of beta and now just use the stable version of the app and have no issues.
And for anyone wondering why I switched back. I realized after about 2 months of use that I just wasn't going to get used to the 5.5" screen. It's simply too big for me. That and lack of development support really had me missing my Nexus 5.

This is the first time I have used a PAC-Man rom, and I have spend a half hour trying to find a couple of settings. If anyone else is familiar with the ROM, and can lend a hand, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Ok, first off, where to I set the screen timeout? I don't see the setting under the normal settings->display options.
Second, I found that when I look at my recent apps, I see a little app bar with Apollo music player, camer, calendar, calculator, twitter and a couple others in it. Is there any way that I can customize these shortcuts? I play all my music through Google Play Music, and would love to substitute Apollo for it.
For now, that's all I can find (or can't find) wrong. Finally having an S-Off One is really showing off how awesome this phone is.
For the display timeout. Settings>Display&Lights>Sleep.
As for the bar in recents, I'm looking for a way to customize it as well.
Have you noticed any problems with WiFi or loading videos at all? For some reason I can't play Videos through the web or app for YouTube. And my WiFi seems to run at about half speed when I run a speedtest, compared to other devices.
I had problems for a while with YouTube, but without really doing anything it started working (I may have rebooted due to problems with my home screen). I haven't seen away to customize the shortcuts on recent apps yet either. Have you guys charged at all? Mine phone got pretty hot.

I've been running the ROM since we got rumrunner, and I've noticed my phone actually runs cooler while charging and normal use.
I just happened to wake up in the middle of the night and checked it. It was cooler than usual like you mentioned. I dont know what the deal was.

Have you had problems with a laggy launcher at all? Sometimes when I return to the home screen from an app, none of my icons or widgets show up until I hit the app drawer.
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app
I still have yet to figure out how to change the recent apps. I haven't noticed my phone getting hotter than normal, so I'd check to see what apps you have running.
I also haven't had any issues with YouTube, but for some reason, Google Search doesn't want to work. It just looks like it keeps trying to load and nothing ever comes up. It states that a new version is available, but when I try to update, saying that the "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again." So, whenever I need to search for something, I have to go into chrome and search, which is a pain.
I updated to the 10/13 nightly and it seems to be running pretty well. Battery life is a bit better too. In the PACman thread it sounds like the 10/14 nightly didn't quite build right.

PAC-Man seems to be the best of all worlds. Unfortunatly, I have had little luck with it on any phone I have tried it on. Works great on my Samsung 7.7 tablet but tried it on my GNEX and S3 and I would have constant issues. Very laggy and random reboots. Some apps also did not place nice with it on the GNEX and S3. I have not tried it on the One as Vanir seems to be running really good.

I did have some issues with lag, but after switching to Nova launcher I haven't had any problems. It does sound like the most recent nightly has some fixes for the laggy launcher. Other than that minor issue, this ROM has been pretty stable.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
Sometimes when I launch Super Hexagon, the game runs terribly slow. It feels like it's running at 15-20 FPS instead of 60 FPS. The weird part is that this lag persists after I exit the game. The whole system becomes super slow with choppy animations.
I've tried killing the app and even clearing the data, but the only thing that seems to fix this is a reboot. I can reproduce this behavior after rebooting again. It usually happens on the 2nd or 3rd time I launch the app, but sometimes it can take up to 10 times of closing and launching. Holding the tablet vertically seems to trigger it faster (although I'm not completely sure if it's related yet).
I'm running completely stock KOT49H and version 1.0.5 of Super Hexagon.
I haven't been able to reproduce this on my Nexus 4 or my old Nexus 7 (2012).
Can anyone else confirm that this happens on their Nexus 7 (2013)? I'm just wondering if it's a bug/compatibility issue or if it's a problem with my device
Just a quick update: Tried changing to ART with and flashing the latest franco kernel (just to experiment), and it still happens in the exact same way

I know this is a late response but I had the same thing happen to me twice tonight and I found your thread while googling for the issue myself.
Force closing the app doesn't help. It seems I have to reboot to fix it.
Have you by any chance figured out a fix? I'm running a 2013 n7 completely stock

It's clearly a software issue though, either with the game or the latest N7 2013 build. Maybe someone who's more skilled could check the debug log (or something) to figure out the cause.
Hey
EDIT:
to fix this problem, open your favorite file explorer..
navigate through android/data/(superhexagon package file name)
go to settings.dat
change vsync from 1 to 0

Wow, I am astonished by Google. It has been over a year now and this problem STILL exists, I am having the exact same problem as described in the OP with several apps. How come this problem gets so little attention? Should be well known by now.
All those fancy design changes but who cares about actual system stability.
^What apps? I've never had this problem and this is my first time reading about it.
It's up to the app developer to keep their **** updated to work well with new versions of android. Nothing to do with google.

No way apps are supposed or even able to mess with the whole system like that and this bug doesn't happen on other devices like nexus 5 with the same apps so it's obviously just the device. I mean did you even read the thread you ignorant prick? The thread creator said too that he can't reproduce it with other devices such as Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 2012.
I'm not sure what is causing lag, but my Note 4 had enough of it to be concerned.
Sending SMS and messages via hangouts is brutally slow, just as scrolling through Google Now and within the eBay application.
I have a little bit of stutter in touchwiz, but that isn't near as bad as the app stutter. Wondering if this is something to be concerned with.

Same here, my phone runs butter smooth with animations set at .5 and forcing GPU rendering. Gotta love that Adreno 420
OP might have a bad device. Try replacing it to see if that fixes the problem. Very few people have reported lag and it seems to be no more then any other device.

I want to point out that I had the same issues you mentioned. I went ahead and performed a factory reset since I just got the phone and I hadn't done much to it. It solved my problem and I'm not getting any more app stutter from sending messages through hangouts.
It happens, man. Initial setup of the phone could go wrong, especially when you load on a ton of apps at once. Might not have been your fault; it could've been the devil that loaded all that carrier bloatware on it.
No lag here either, I've been running a media converter on it 24 hours a day for the past few days to change a lot of my formats to mp4s from mkvs and even with that running in the background, with encoding being one of the more CPU processing hungry things you can do, I can play GTA:SA on it without issues.
I was actually lagging pretty bad past 2 days. I enabled ART and let it go for a day thinking it would get better. I restarted it the second day hoping it would help. Finally disabled it an hour ago and its working as expected... Guess there is no real point. I'll just hope we get 5.0 before the years over.

It was good for me before, but wowee. Thank you for the tip.
I feel the power!! So much of a difference that makes
Yeah buttery smooth here. I've disabled all the ATT apps via managing applications and ALWAYS use Rechild Task Killer - by far one of the best app killers I have used over the years since Tmobile G1, Note 1, Note 2, Note 3, and now Note 4. It helps despite what anyone may think.
Also, as other have mentioned, tap your build number 7 times to enable Developer Options Menu in Settings - General. From there, you can disable animation transitions - I always set all mine to 0/No animation because I don't need animations and that speeds things up a lot.
All my texts/MMS are fast along with browsing and internet - HUGE difference compared to the Note 3 (everyone was right- that phone had the worst WIFI imaginable - I was rooted and had the same setup as I do now on the Note 4). I have my MOTO 360 connected with bluetooth always on. I use Textra as my main sms/mms app. I'm really happy - battery life is excellent compared to my Note 3 because Android Wear eats a lot. I also have 1W weather widget on refreshing every hour. I have location on power saving mode so only Data and Wifi pinpoint my location instead of GPS (this is just common sense - GPS kills your battery so don't choose the TOP high performance option).

Wow, what a huge difference. Thanks!
thats odd because I dont get any lag. The only thing I noticed is once in a while, when opening Hangouts, the GUI gets stuck at a blank screen and I have to back out and enter in again. The other issue I noticed, which doesnt happen often, is that the network gets stuck in a certain speed (i.e. 4G or whatever), when I know I should be getting LTE service. If I toggle airplane mode, it switches to LTE and works flawlessly after that. Its almost as if the modem has a hard time switching networks.
Well, it looks like my Hangout lags is back after I got a ton of auto updates today. I probably shouldn't have left auto-update enabled. There's probably an incompatibility with one of the apps so I'm going to hunt it down. Other than that, the rest of the phone is quite smooth.

UPDATE: The problem is clearly the hangouts update itself. I uninstalled the update and disabled automatic updates. It's running smoothly again.
So the problem with hangouts appears to be the most recent update. Uninstall it and you'll run off of the stock version that shipped with the device. until they've fixed the problems.
The problematic build is 2.4.78234730 (Oct 22, 2014).

I did a factory wipe, disabled all the bloatware i could, forced gpu rendering and changed animations to 0.5x and honestly, it ive been good to go. i did all this to my dads note 4 this morning as well but he said he hadnt experienced any issues yet with everything kept stock

GPU rendering is pointless. I tested the other day. The speed was exactly the same for opening and closing apps, etc. The drawback, if you have flash video enabled and watch any video, shows, movies, etc. - it will be laggy/choppy with this option enabled.
Might need a master reset. I just purchased this phone yesterday. The first phone they gave me reset itself almost 30 times on its own despite me master resetting like 5 times. After the second master reset I didn't load any apps and the issue still persisted. Went back and had them give me a new one. All is well now.

might have spoken too soon. Hangouts works fine after the latest update but i do notice a second or two lag when trying to open the keyboard or open a chat. Its not enough to really complain but it is noticeable.
Noob quesion.. Can someone please direct me to where I go to force GPU rendering on the Note 4? I can't find then setting anywhere. I've been out of the Android game for a while so I greatly appreciate the help. Really like this phone, but the lag on even simple tasks like Facebook scrolling is leaving much to be desired.
(Disregard finally found out how to enable Dev Options.. Man I got a lot of catching up to do.)

I've noticed a number of issues since I upgraded to Lollipop yesterday.
1. Memory usage seems to increase significantly, pre Lollipop I would have around 800 meg free after a restart, since upgrading to Lollipop that's now dropped to around 400 meg free.
2. Clock issues, the clock in the top right hand corner of the screen can freeze on lock and when unlocked is the same time prior to the lock and just sticks at that time until I enter the clock setting and tick and untick the 12\24 hour setting, I also get this issue with the clock on the notification drop down.
3. Random app crashes, with black screen and then the app closes no prompts or anything, this has happened with games and also Chrome and Mail, This only started happening since the update.
4. Language and Input settings menu crashes every time it opens.
Anyone else have these or similar issues and anyone have any ways of rectifying the issues?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Just did a fresh reboot of my N7 on 5.0.1 (non LTE / 3g model) - 5.0.1 install was done via wireless
Settings / storage / running apps information

Apps 274MB used - 2 biggest users are Settings at 112MB and Google Play services at 81mMB, Google keyboard at 32MB with the rest at 20MB and under

Have not experienced any clock issues or app crashes / black screens
Has been a stable and happy tablet
I usually have about a gig free. I still go by the "unused ram is wasted ram." I wish it used more. If it's needed android will free it up. Unless it's a leak.
I've had the zenwatch for almost 2 weeks and i will be keeping it. That being said here is a heads up, i found that using the app facer to make watch faces and using wear mini launcher together causes a good bit of lag when performing any action on the watch. to remedy this issue i downlaoded watch maker and low behold the lag went away. so if anyone is haven a lag issue check into what apps you are use to make your watch faces and also what launcher u have choosen. hope you guys find this helpfull .
So, did you uninstall wear mini launcher ?

no i switched to watch maker it works better with min launcher
I've actually had this happen a number of times and I'm not sure why. It doesn't seem to have a consistent cause. Usually it'll be when I install a new app or something, but it's happened other times as well, but it doesn't happen consistently with one app or another. For me, the lag shows up as the screen basically being frozen without being able to control anything. Eventually, it will unfreeze and I'll usually see the mini-launcher screen, but even a restart with the back button won't solve the freeze.
For me, it was worse when I had Mini Launcher installed, but it still happens occasionally without it. I no longer have either Facer or Watchmaker installed, either. I'm using the Weather Watch Face, though. I wonder if it has something to do with watch faces in general?
When I was using Mini Launcher, apps would almost never launch the first time I tapped on them. It would go back to the watch face and freeze for a few seconds, and force me to go back to Mini Launch and tap again. Without Mini Launcher, this still happens occasionally from the built-in Start... item, but much less frequently.
I have all 3 installed and it doesn't seem to lag too bad. I guess I don't interact with it the same as I would with a phone so it doesn't bother me at all. Whenever I get a card it interacts with it seamlessly, that's about as much as I need it to do

Interacting with cards hasn't been a problem for me, either, it's launching an app that's not already running that seems to be the issue. Sometimes (or almost every time for me with Mini Launcher), the new app doesn't come to the foreground, and the watch appears to hang for several seconds. It then has to be launched a second time to become visible.
I've definitely seen it lag like that. Hopefully it's just a software issue with android wear being so new and updates will help fix that. It's got plenty of processor and ram torrun the tiny apps no problem
I noticed a considerable amount of lag while using mini launcher. To the point that I didn't even want to show off the watch to other people because it made it seem terrible. Major difference since uninstalling, lag free now. I also use Watch Maker and a few Play Store watchfaces with no lag issues.
Wish we could move the start menu to the first selection on the tap screen instead of the last, then I really wouldn't care about a separate launcher.
1+ for deleting mini launcher. I like the app but its so dam laggy. As far as Watch Maker app works at times for me so I deleted that as well. I was using Facer until I ran into Intellicom which seems to be very easy to use and no change in my battery life.
I think this is more of a symptom of using a single core A7 processor. I imagine all of the governors and IO schedules are set up for battery life so that probably doesn't help either. It might just be coincidence that you are running something while a background task is also running.
