[Q] Update to ICS official UK now lagging and slow

hi all
got the official update to ICS yesterday and now my phone is awful!
unlocking is slow, swiping is slow, typing is slow, most apps crash! whats happened?!
ive read that a factory reset will fix issues but will this loose everything i have on the phone? i dont want to have to start again on games etc just had it the way i liked.
any help or info on factory reset?
ps phone is not rooted and as is out the box

I installed the update afew days ago but i have not noticed that at all on the samsung stock launcher. Now cus i use hi launcher its abit laggy but apps n internet is superfast for me.
I wont hold my breath thoe on the decent speed. My reboots might stil happen but not as yet.

How did you update? Did you re cover apps throught a certain tool?
Bad thing about updates are the mess old stuff leaves, or create when recovering. Stock as well as custom. That's why clean install is best.
So sad its needed
Be carefull with factory reset because of ics bug, but that together with. Wiping cache or dalvik cache have been reported to work. Again be carefull cause of ICS bug, a wipe or factory reset can destroy your phone. Enought threads on that.

i updated from the indian rom yesterday to the official lq2 and find it much smoother and snappier i dont have permanent cwm i do have root if its that bad either reflash the rom to see if it was a bad flash or do a factory reset

thanks for the replies!
whats dalvik cache??
i think ill have to reinstall :-(

I updated to the German rom last month and had to do a factory reset afterwards to clear up a few issues.
There have been reports of phones bricking while factory resetting (though very very few reports tbh) but so long as you updated officially (ie your phone told you an update was ready, or you did it over kies air) then you should be safe enough, even if your phone does die you'll be fully covered by your warranty as factory resets are a perfectly normal function of the phone.

Try flashing the speedmod kernel using Odin pro. It will definitely improve your experience.

[Q] Help in upgrading ICS

Hi
I am from India and I connected my phone to kies and its saying that new firmware version is available.
Before upgrading I have few questions in mind. Is ICS is working fine on Note. I Heard may people saying that its freezing and consuming more battery and Wi Fi not working.
Have anybody upgraded Note to ICS in India..Hows the reviews..Any problem with phone you guys are facing.
Thanks in Advance
Ankush

Well some people have problems, ICS aint exactly bug free. But you can avoid most problems if you do a factory reset before upgrading. Then you will have a clean system but you will also loose all apps etc.

I am using stock ICS in India.
In my opinion Its better than GB, Better battery life, Better performance.
I updated via OTA.
Before updating i recommend you to perform a full wipe/factory reset.
After Update I rooted my phone using Dr. Ketans Method. Uninstalled all the Samsung crap-ware. Flashed Hardcore speedmod Kernel. Wiped Two three times. Some Recharge discharge cycle.
Now my note is running Butter smooth & leg free.
Good luck! Enjoy your note.

Thanks for help

To reset your phone go to settings - backup & restore - reset.
Or
Switch off the phone, after 1 min press and hold vol up+home+power key until you see recovery screen. Choose factory reset/data wipe...
DO IT BEFORE UPDATING TO ICS....

Upgrade installing on every reboot after OTA XXLPY to XXLRG

i recently upgraded ota from xxlpy to xxlrg. unit is original n7000 germany. never used Odin or such to install firmware.
the problem is, on every restart, the note will say that it is upgrading and installing new apps similar to what happens when the first boot after upgrading. this will take a long time to start from power off or reboot. verified this happens every time. this never happens before when i upgraded from gb to xxlpy.
everything else seem to run ok . i have root and unrooted using simple unroot with supersu without problem. i have titanium pro for backup but afraid to factory reset because of the brick issue. appreciate any feedback.
thanks.

nope. tried that just to make sure. that setting is for checking if there are any new updates available. thanks anyway. if you read my post again, what happens is that the upgrade to XXLRG (4.0.4) was successful, just that it does the first boot installation (s-memo, crayon. wallpaper etc) again and again on each reboot or start from power off. this makes reboot taking more than one minute. others have same problem?
any guru here have some clue?

nobody having this problem of XXLRG reinstalling apps?
anyway, today another OTA notification saying theres another update.
should i go for it?
regards,

You need to do factory reset. Either to go back to GB and then do wipe, or flash a safe ICS kernel (speedmod, notecore, franco, etc) and do full wipe in recovery. Never do factory reset or full wipe in stock ICS.

if your getting every reboot on your phone 'Android is upgrading applications..', case here is that you have some apps (I would guess you restored apps from titanium pro) that are deodex and some are odex. Check on your apps again under titanium apps and delete all odex files extension for the same app name. There might be one or more apps that have odex files inside. This is the cause of that message everytime you reboot your phone.
Or the simple way is go back to Stock GB, upgrade again to XXLRG and when you have everything already flashed to LRG.. DON'T restore apps anymore (from your Titanium backup), go clean from now on in just redownloading those apps you have fresh in Google play.
Cheers!

[solved] lost access to google account after flash attempt

Hi Guys
bit of a newb her, I tried to flash a jellybean rom and after doing plenty of research followed the instructions to the letter. The result was that it didnt work and reverted back to honeycombe 3.2. The problem i have is that it no longer allows me access or set up my google account and some buttons such as the home button no longer seem to work. I have been unable to go back to stock and am lookign for a little guidance.
I did carry out a factory reset.
Kies is also not recognising my tablet.
I apologise for starting a new thread if this has been asked before. I have not seen an identical problem on this forum so far

Did you make a backup in cwm recovery for the stock honeycomb before flashing the jellybean? And what method did you use to revert back to stock?
For the factory reset, did you do it after reverting back to stock or before?

I did do a backup in CMW recovery. The flash to jellybean didn't failed. It took a few minutes and then restarted and booted up as 3.2. The factory reset and wipe cache partition were carried out as per the instructions online prior to installing the zip file.
I'm just hoping it is possible to resolve this problem.
thanks for any help

Just to provide an update. I have now resolved the problem
After trying to factory reset my tab then became stuck was stuck on the galaxy tab screen. Using the stock rom for 3.2 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1483168 i was able to flash this using Odin and much to my relief it booted up again in 3.2.
Much to my amazement once it was flashed onto my device and booted up i was able to get an OTA update to ICS 4.0.4 which was a bit of a suprise. Not sure how or why this happened but i am very pleased with the result. ICS is a huge improvement from honeycombe and is like having a new tablet. It is so much smoother and more responsive.
I was using CWM 5.2.0.4

Since you have figured out how to resolve the problem please change the title from [Q] to [solved] this way if someone else has a similar problem they will know that they can find a answer here.

[Q] Back to factory settings

I never liked cellphones and avoided them for years until I got a Galaxy Note as a gift. I gave it a try but after a year of minimum use I can safely say that it doesn't appeal to me.
So I want to sell it, but the problem is in my attempt to like it I rooted it and it seems like resetting to factory settings with a root may cause on a brick, so I'm wondering, what would be the exact procedure I have to follow in order to get it to be as it was on day 1?
Model: GT-N7000
Android version: 4.0.4
Root: SuperSU
I mention SuperSU because it seems like it has an unroot option on It's menu. Do I just use that and then search for the factory reset option and I'm done?
Thank you for reading.

Yes, you can simply unroot using SuperSU or you can flash stock rom, whole procedure for that is mentioned in dr ketan's thread, look fot it and as you are on ICS dont do any wipes on stock recovery, use brick safe kernel.

As far as I remember I never did anything like flashing a rom... to be honest, I don't even know what that means, but I'm almost sure I never did it (although I would like to know how to see what "rom" I'm currently running just to be sure).
I just unrooted through SuperSU menu and I'm wondering what's the next step. I thought just going to system options and looking for reset to factory settings would do it now that It's unrooted but

this quote made me wonder, are you talking about the flashing rom method to unroot or to the step I should do now? Do I update to Jelly Bean and then do reset to factory settings?
I'm a little confused.
Thanks!

Just go to settings and about and see firmware version, build number and Baseband version should tell you if you are stock rom or not( not sure though have been using custom rom for too long now). Wiping from Stock Recovery might brick it not the factory settings from menu. Yes, update to JB from system updates it should be available if you are on stock rom or using Kies from pc connecting USB.
