I wonder if there's been any movement on the dreadful performance of 4.2? It made me very aware that there is little to no support for Android/Nexus, and nowhere to take problems unless you know what a bug tracker is, which many will not.
- mgcross 14y agoThe lag can be unbearable at times. Makes my HP touchpad running CM feel fast. I've had some luck shutting down processes in Settings->Apps. An XDA member reported that his performance and battery life improved after cycling the battery a couple of times.
- talleyrand 14y agoI've noticed the exact same thing. 4.2 has ground my Nexus 7 to a halt. Turned off NFC, which helped a lot, but it's still not as snappy as 4.1
- yohui 14y agoThat's curious. 8 or 16GB? I haven't run into it myself, but I've heard that low free space will slow down the Nexus 7. Stuff like better animations for the app switcher made my own Nexus 7 feel faster after the 4.2 update. Of course, that's just a perceptual change. Prior to 4.2, Chrome with many tabs open and Adobe Reader were my only major annoyances. Chrome seems somewhat better, though since I've cut down on tab usage and started using Firefox more I'm not sure how much it's really improved. As for Reader, I just use ezPDF for larger documents now.

- habosa 14y agoI've read it has to do with multi account and root.
- mun2mun 14y agoBlame the reviewers for not focusing it. Also this is why I stopped being an early adopter.
- auxbuss 14y agoYes, 4.2 has far worse performance than prior releases. It's taken the shine off of an otherwise excellent piece of kit. It's also disappointing that some longstanding Chrome issues have not been fixed. If the option were available to go back, I would take it.
