[Q] Lollipop 5.0.1 issues - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

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.
Thanks
Jon

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
System: 214MB used
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
Free 1.3GB
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.

[Q] Resourse issue?

my question is sort of two part: when I return to the launcher (Trebuchet) from an app, almost always I return to a screen with no icons and just the wallpaper. After a second or two, the icons reload and everything appears normal for that screen. Is this because I have too many apps running and Trebuchet is running out of ram?
second part to the question is that if an app is running, and it pretty much doesn't matter what app I'm running, and the screen times out and goes dark, almost always the app that was running stops running and I'm returned to the desktop when I push the wake button. This is a fairly recent issue - anyone have any ideas?
I'm running CM10.1.3-RC2-toro.

Facebook app force closes frequently

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.

laggyness with certain apps

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.

Question [BUG] Mobile data not working; Apps don't start; Lockscreen and homescreen clock freezing or disappearing

Hi.
Recently bought a 4gb ram version and began using about 1 month ago. Running latest up to date samsung stock rom and having issues (april, 2023).

Question Phone lags/hangs while switching between profiles

Hey guys,
So for the past one month have been facing an issue with my OnePlus 9 pro. While switching between profiles, my phone hangs and lags for a minute or so.
1) installed Oxygen OS 13 from 12 but issue still persists
2) cold reboot fixes the issue for once and then issue starts reoccurring
3) have 8gb+5gb ram. Tried with just 8gb as well.
4) have used around 80gb of storage and still got around 40gb free.
5) not a lot of 3rd party apps installed
6) deleted cache of almost all apps in both profiles yet issue still persists
7) don't see too much ram usage but I believe issue is related to memory
Any suggestions?
