Some problems with vivid on a Nexus 4

 

Hi

I'm running vivid on my Nexus 4 and it has been upgraded from a older
version of devel via the Scopes interface and aptitude (I have to mount
root rw so that essential tools such as mosh can be installed).

Mostly everything works fine, the only application I use on a daily
basis is the terminal and the reboot version is great.

However quite often Scopes won't run, it just results in a spinning disk
and when it does start it has a blank grey interface and I have to swipe
up and then go to apps to get the expected interface.

Another issue I have is the battery draining very fast, the graph goes
down at almost 45 degrees sometimes, with the load average around 3
(top shows 2 CPU cores) even when I have no apps open and the screen is
off and the phone is in airplane mode. The permanent high cpu usage
appears to be mostly due to this these processes: 

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND                                         
  592 root      20   0    2556   1216    960 R  42.5  0.1   3:40.29 cgmanager                                       
 9694 phablet   20   0   23248   1752   1448 S  38.2  0.1   3:14.30 cgroup-reap-all                                 
  645 root      20   0    2520   1108    920 R  25.9  0.1   2:12.08 cgproxy                                         
10018 phablet   20   0  463772  92736  43404 S  22.7  4.9   1:59.96 unity8   

I also quite often find that the whole user interface lock up and I have
to ssh into the phone and restart lightdm to get a usable interface
back.

I wasn't sure how best to raise the above issue, I'm happy to open or
post comments to tickets or chat in irc if needs be.

All the best

Chris
