how about just wait for an update or quick bug fix instead of loosing patients so quick? there are alot of other benefits that android has bro

yah have to do it.. coz if changing the phone... i have to pay more.. what the F dude.. its really annoying changing phones. But i like the way android provides open source. First time i am using android will wait this month and then decide what to do.

I have the same problem with my nexus 7. It was much smoother before the update. I don`t understand it anyway. Updates should fasten devices usually. And Nexus 7 is a Quad core, high spec device. It is so disappointing.

Had the problem before 4.2 because I had 3 google accounts. After I disabled background sync it was much better.

Awesome, and been so annoyed by this since the update. I major kudos to XDA, they have been there for me many times. It's working so far. I got instant results.
