The only thing that helped me so far was changing the kernel to Yank555-lu v4.0 kernel.
battery life quadrupled and almost no lags.
better than the performance i got from 4.1.2

Thanks for your actual input

I was also getting 20+ ghost image/document downloads in the notification bar...now thats gone too
Seemed the stock android download manager was causing a major problem for me anyways:good:

That do nothing...tell me here what you want in this forum.

I don't know how but it actually is working, because now instead of up to 8 seconds wakeup lag it's down to no more than 2 seconds lag, but I'll keep the phone running and see if the lag comes back.

Facebook 1.3.1 is in the Market

Hopefully this fixes the wake lock issue that 1.3.0 had.
I have installed it to try anyway. Will report back my findings.

so still battery drainer?
Maybe not. After a re-installation and a restart now the app seem to works well. Still testing
i can confirm: after a program reinstallation (clearing Facebook app data) and a reboot, now the 1.3.1 does not waste partial wake time
Yeah wake lock still doesn't seem to work properly until you reboot your device, after that, it seems to work fine!

I read the comments about the battery problem being sorted so updated again today and restarted the phone.
After only 3 hours, my phone battery was down to 50% so I had to uninstall again.
Anybody else having the same problems?

Yep. Here.
Installed 1.3.1 today in the morning, deleted Appdata, rebooted device, signed in, set autoupdate and notifications to off / never. no contact sync.
battery drains heavily, and as it was with 1.3.0, once started, the app won't close any more and remain active in the background; as if you would "quit" via home-button, and not using the "back" hardware-button, which usually quits applications instead of just bringing them to background...
i'll uninstall it again, and not update from the (stock) facebook 1.2 (desire, froyo ota), as this version fits my needs - for everything else i use facebook for htc sense, which runs just fine and integrates nicely into contacts, calendar and frieds-stream...
update it from 1.2 to 1.3.1, clear data, reboot phone and so far it looks ok

Same to me, but only reinstalling 1.3.1 twice and after a reboot. On first 1.3.1 installation the partial wake usage it's about 100% even after the reboot. i had to remove, reboot, reinstall and reboot again. Now work well...
Maybe somo settings or files are not replaced correctly during the first installation
Uninstalled 1.3.0, rebooted. Installed 1.3.1 and rebooted again. All working fine now, no battery drain

Cannot update Google Music

The Android Market in my Nexus S is showing there is an update for Google Music (manual update).
But, every time I tried to update, it said "not found".
Rebooted ... same result.
Clear Market cache and data ... same result.
Anyone is having this as well?
I am running 2.3.4, stock, un-rooted and bought the device in UK on release day.
Thanks for any help.
Same here...in the UK, rooted and with Stock 2.3.4 and cannot update the music app although it shows as an update in the Market.
Exact same issue.
I lie, as soon as i wrote this post i tried it again and this time it did the update.
Try now it may work for you too.
Locate the Music manual update in Android Market, long press- and select update.
Thanks, this solved the problem

Sweet, worked for me too!
Just noticed how jerky the scrolling and transitions are compared to before. On my Nexus S i9023 unrooted 2.3.4
But the cool fuzzy backgrounds are nice tho
it worked!
but some how it broke music
now if i click on music it says "application not installed"
yet it's there, and the widget still works, but says "current playlist is empty"
reboot your phone, should fix it

I've noticed the same thing. Album arts don't come up instantly but need a few moments to show every time you scroll the page up and down. Also the lateral scrolling is not perfect, like it was not optimised for this device (Nexus S).
The new app starts two processes and two services that continue to run in the background. The RAM usage has gone from over 10MB to more than 50.

Experienced same with Google Books. Not available in Ireland, can't load the App page, yet keep your finger pressed on the App & you can trigger the update anyway!
This update is for USA market, after I fake the carrier, it allowed me to update I am from Singapore by the way, based on the feedback here, I better keep the original and don't update it since there seem to have some performance issues here

[Observations/Results] XXLSJ Lockscreen/Device Wakeup Freeze

I'm sure almost everyone has now experienced the freeze that happens sometimes when the device comes out of deep sleep, usually for a couple seconds.
I (personally) think its the only thing from making this ROM pretty near perfect. I have been trying to get to the bottom of this freezing issue for a few days and I'm sure a lot of other people have been trying too!
I have disable a whole bunch of things, and since it seems it could be related to WiFi (as many are reporting) I started disabling and uninstalling apps in different stages. Iv ended up with the following (see screenshots) disabled/uninstalled and have been repeatedly locking and unlocking the device (letting it enter deep sleep first of course) and have yet to experience the bug again.
Maybe it doesn't work for you, but perhaps someone can pick up from here and we can all get to the bottom of the problem! It might be impossible at this stage and may simply require a newer leak/release of JB for the i9100.

Hopefully this helps, if not I apologize, but think the problem needs any insight available
I have not freezed, deleted all the extra functionalities and stuff, but the problem is still there, even worst on wifi. I gave u a thank for make a step up to try to solve the problem
I have removed almost every single samsung app from syatem. Using apex instead of TW. Always have wifi turned off. Because i use my data plan. As its unlimited. I have this problem all the time. Is there anything i can do to help? Logcat or anything.

I think its a touch panel driver problem but better to do a logcat if you have time for this. I also have experienced the problem when trying to end a call.

Yes, last night I was using logcat and when the screen came on and froze the logcat contained data such as waiting for input, loading mali driver for touch recognition. I laso thought it could be related to motion control, as if its waiting for acceleration from it so as to use the camera motion shortcut etc but alas disabling motion didnt help either
Will upload a logcat or two later after college today!
It also happened to me too when trying to end a call after the screen came back on after taking the phone away from my eat. Ive also noticed that when the screen comes on and touch is unresponsive. The menu and back keys at the bottom are not lit. And after 4/5 seconds they light up and then it is working. Will post a logcat when i next experience it.

Tried many lock screen apps including the stock one, random freezing with all of them with wifi on. Have been using Holo Locker for a couple of days, seems to fix the problem.

I get around it like another user suggested,
I have a tasker that turns my wifi off when the screen goes off.
I also have phenomenal battery life this way. It is definitely a wifi issue.

[Q] Gallery using lots of CPU and eating RAM

Small background on the issue here, i tried the stock android camera but the video recording was stuck in low resolution and didn't work correctly so i removed it (and the built in gallery), i went back to using the Samsung camera (which i'm not happy with anyway) but when i use the gallery, the thing is laggy as hell, zooming and browsing pictures is jumpy at best, and if i stay in the app, it pretty much freezes the phone up.
So i had a look in the task manager and any time the Gallery is running in the background it constantly uses around 16% of the CPU and the RAM usage goes up and up, at a rate of 50mb+ per minute, keeping the phone hot and draining the battery. The phone will eventually need resetting if left in this state.
Since i wasn't in the mood for troubleshooting, i guessed that the android camera/gallery had messed something up with the samsung one and i just did a full wipe/factory reset, the problem still persists. Do i need to flash the firmware again to fix this? It seems like something is corrupted but i'm not sure why the factory reset hasn't fixed it.
Here's a few screenshots i took over a 4 minute period.
The firmware is I9505XXUEMJ7 4.3

I had just done this before your reply and it did need an update, it's now on the latest:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
The problem still remained however i think i've managed to fix it in the last few minutes, I did the following:
Tried Camera JB+ from the Play Store
Disabled the Samsung Gallery app
Didn't like the JB+ camera so removed it
Enabled Samsung Gallery again and now it's not causing problems
I'm not sure if it was the disabling/enabling of the gallery which has fixed it or if it was the install/removal of another camera/gallery, but for now it seems to be fixed, i have been trying everything over the last few days, factory reset, clearing caches and even updating to the newer firmware. Glad it seems to be working (for now at least) but annoying that i don't know why it was happening. Also worried it will happen in the future which could drain the battery in a very short time if i don't notice it quickly.
- Only u have to go Apps - Settings - More - Aplication manager- (last tab) All
- Tap "Gallery" app
- Clean cache
Took a couple of pictures at work this morning and it's doing it again! Not sure what else i can try.
edit: i've just switched g+ picture backup on and it's told me it's updating 139 pictures (there are only about 20 pics on the phone). After checking my account online, i can see it's uploading a bunch of photos that were deleted a long time ago on the phone.

Fresh Nougat install very laggy

Hey guys
I installed Nougat the other day and it was extremely laggy, for example it would take about 5+ seconds to unlock the screen after a successful fingerprint read. This evening I decided to do a completely fresh install to see if it could have been some old files from 6.0 causing it. Unfortunately not. The lag has returned again.
Even pulling down the notification drawer is very laggy. It's almost as if the phone is trying really hard to do something and doesn't have enough resources to do what I'm asking.
So my question is, what should I do? Is this a known problem? I don't really want to downgrade back to Marshmallow.
I did try and search around on these forums and a general Google search but nothing really came up.
Thanks!
This seems to be getting worse. Feels like the CPU is constantly maxed out.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I really don't want to wipe my phone again to downgrade back to Marshmallow but I might have to because it's rendering the phone almost unusable.
For reference I'm on NRD90U
Here is a screenshot of the battery stats:

Hi !
Actually i have the same issue with my 6P on a clean install too and i'm very regarding concerning the smoothness of a phone (and that why I sell my galaxy s6 for the 6P).
Before nougat, i had the jgcaap CM rom, and it was always buttery smooth !
Now with nougat, just pulling down the notification drawer struggle too, and don't feel like before. I can definitely feel some lag in scrolling in instagram or even the app drawer..
I think i'm going to roll back to CM 13, and wait for CM 14
Mine is smooth. No lag at all.
Maybe a rogue app ?
Any way to easily see what app could be causing it other than removing all third party apps?
You could try Cool Tool and have all displayed labels: CPU usage, frequency, Ram and Most Ressource-intensive process checked.
If it's CPU bound then you might find the process. If it's IO bound then you won't find the process.
If rooted, you could also check logcat, dmesg.
Or reboot in safe mode.
Last would be to factory reset to make sure it's not a hardware fault. And do not restore apps immediately..
Try rebooting to safe mode to see if the problem goes away...
https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2852139?hl=en
I've been on Nougat about a week and it's been very smooth for more with the exception of a few apps that I had to clear data for to get working properly. I restored some of them with Titanium Backup so I'm sure that caused the issue. Nougat itself has been very smooth and responsive though.
So it turns out that Tune In Pro radio app was the culprit. I used to use it as an alarm, but I noticed that as soon as I set the alarm on it, the phone started lagging. Thanks for everyone's help! Much appreciated!
