[Q] OFFICIAL STOCK ICS PROBLEMS for note!??

Maybe its just me!!! but I find that after updating to ICS 4.0.3 on note the ram usage is always quite high, as always around 600-700. does anyone else have this problem ?
Another problem i find is the lag in the camera? like when you take a picture and then scroll through picture you've taken, after press the back key and it lags for a while before returning to home screen..
PLease say it isnt just me
p.s Ive got the TGY(hong kong) version of ICS officially from kies!!

+1 i oso got problem is the ram...it is very high...higher than gingerbread...any suggestion??

Suggestion:
go to a cm9 build ROM with a "safe" kernel as well.

Just a word of warning....a factory reset or any kind of wipe could hard brick your device on official samsung roms.

Don't wipe!! It could trigger the eMMC bug and possibly brick your phone if you try to flash anything. The best advice is to flash a safe gb rom using pc odin and wait until a solution comes out.

I presume that your screen was off during much of this time? I am using the LPY build and use my note for prolonged book reading. With the screen on auto brightness I am lucky to get 6.5 hours with all other data services running.

I thought brick problems was caused by cwm wipes, i dont think.the emmc problem is being experienced by those of us using stock.only? ?? I have looked at quite a few threads and it appears to me only people who root get the issue may be wrong but i peesoannly think.stock only should be safe

I am having the same problem....no solutions yet. Like others have mentioned, DON'T WIPE!! ask me how I know? lol
I deleted ICS Browser. That helped quite a bit.

I think likewise, there is one case of bricking using the wipe in stock recovery (XXLPY if I didn't remember wrongly), but the person has rooted his phone using Dr Ketan method (temp cwm + su-busybox installer), so is still not a pure official stock rom imo.

I just finally upgraded to official ICS and using LP9...
So far everything is buttery smooth.
Just a question.. Is doing a factory reset (under Backup & Reset) the same as wiping thru the Recovery Mode?

Beg to differ.. On official ics upon factory reset its unlikely that one would hard brick the phone...

[Q] forgot to clear cach

So in cwm I forgot to clear the cache and factory reset when I installed a new rom (from 2.3 to 4.0) but I did not get a bootloop. So the phone is working, should I still reinstall and clear it?

No

okay, thanks

I'd still recommend doing a full wipe.
You don't want to get in some sort of trouble in the future and think... Would this issue not occur if I wiped clean?...
(Especially since you're coming from 2.3 to 4.0. I assume it's CM7 to CM9?)

[Q] X8 Slows down gradually

Hi All,
As I can see that no matter which ROM I install in my X8 the phone will be great in the initial days but it gradually slows down as days go by.
So can you all list out different methods to keep the phone fast and snappier without factory resetting it?
Thanks,

Well first thing that comes to mind is a reboot. But i guess you've done that. Clear cache?

How often do you install new apps? More apps = more lag

Well I guess that would make it a little faster but is there a way that i can do without rebooting the phone and going to recovery and all?
Does the app "RAM Manager" help? or the "Engine flush" in supercharger script by zeppelinrox?

Try Ram Manager Pro

Clear cache

Ram manager didn't work for me. I use supercharger. I'm not saying it's better, just my preference. Well, fef (flush) works. I haven't experienced a major decrease in performance since using it. Hopefully it works for you too.
But still, i've found rebooting your phone every once in a while helps.

It isn't a good idea to mix scripts.. Use one only for performance tweaks..
So either use Ram Manager Pro or supercharger..
My preference is Ram Manager Pro because you don't need hubble telescope to read the settings and apply the tweaks..

Reset factory settings

Cachemate and similar apps work for me, I clean cache every 3 days and phone is never sloved
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app

How about a custom kernel. That may speed your phone up and give you the option to overclock and undervolt. Both will make it faster. But the x8s hardware is outdated anyway. Won't be long 'til it's on the legacy devices list :laugh:

Hey theres one simple solution..use good task manager.......and use swapper........

Use swap IF you're on custom kernel. DO NOT use a task manager.
Either way, your phone will gradually get slower unless you do a reboot at least.

Just reboot. Rebooting stops all cache. You could clean database and wipe dalvik cache too
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

This what I did...
I use FroyoBread v23b (Great rom, hanks to doixanh), I did that:
# Just install the necesary apps. Don't install all the aps, I just have Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, SMmagager and root explorer.
# Install modules and scripts. I recommend you Supercharger, do a overclock (Not to high, just the enough, like 691mzh)
# Like the other guys say, Clear the cache.
# Use a simple launcher. Like LauncherPro, you can do nice things with that launcher.
# Disable the screen animations. You'll gain performance but loose visual attractions. If you don't want it, dont do it.
# DONT USE TASK MANAGER. The simple answer it's, leave Android manage the RAM.
# Use a light and simple theme. Like system theme of Gingerbread or Motoblur.
Here in the forum you can a lots of launchers, modules and more, just use the search tool.
This is I remember what I did, my mobile fell so light and quickly, no lag in the scrolling.
Sorry for my bad english :silly:

I think u didnt factory reset a once.
Thats why rom lagging. Do it for ur sake

Reset to Factory Setting / try to re-format your SD Card. Don't forget to make backup

There is a dudy way to got the phone to new condition.
Backup ur current rom with x-recovery
Fully wipe data
Restore that rom from x-recovery.

Well , I "freeze" apps which I rarely use , and wipe cache+dalvik cache regularly..

Striped buggy screen

Hello all,
Since i've updated to official v20a the screen goes wild from time to time, it gets horizontal stripes that seems to not refresh while the other stripes do.
Its really wierd and i dunno what to do, I think i saw a similar post reporting this same problem a while ago but i cant seem to find it.
Thanks.

I've done a factory reset from the settings menu but i retained my root status so im thinking it wasnt really in dept, wasn't there another way of factory resetting the phone?
I say this because my phone has always been super slow and im thinking its some kind of system bug or something, and from what i can see the update to jb did close to absolutely nothing.
UPDATE: Its still bugged, the same thing as before even after the factory reset.
I've upgraded to v20a through PCSuite and not by "flashing .kdz"

UPDATE: Flashed v20a again through .kdz files, and reset from recovery and still it has the same bug.

seems like faulty hardware to me

It didn't happen before in ICS though

Yea that's the thing.. It didn't happen on ics, it was always laggy and with some breaks here and there but nothing like this.
I've successfully reverted back to ics and all seems Ok for now, it sucks cause I was really getting used to JB.

Striped screen on Lg optimus 4x hd
Hi !, New to this forum , been reading for a while though and first of this forum is really helpfull!
I got the same problem here only its more rare, it only seems to happen trying to get out of standby , And when it get's striped its possible to even get it working normal again by spamming the screen on and off by pressing the power button.
I also found the striped screen happens less when i turn force hw overlays off.
I confirm this is only in 4.1.2 update and not in ICS , ics was not laggy to me though , I've tried the (Euro open) both leaked and official one from lg, Flashed with KDZ and Lg Suite about 6 times it stil occasionaly have the striped screen.

[Q] AOIP 8/3, 8/10, and now 6/3 reboots during app uninstall and data toggle

Hi all,
I've been using AOIP on my Exhibit since June... and have loved it, but I've recently had some reboot/crash problems.
Upon uninstalling an app or toggling cellular data off (and only off... turning it on has no effect and if the wifi turns data off I still see the same effect), the phone crashes and reboots immediately. There may be a couple more causes, but I haven't pin pointed them.
This had first occurred when I installed the 8/3 release without a full wipe. I performed a full wipe, flashed 8/3, and still experienced heavy crashing. I reverted to the 6/3 release and didn't have problems. I tried the same sequence with the same results with the 8/10 release a couple of weeks ago. I've again reverted to 6/3 without problems...
Then this morning, I noticed that my wallpaper had been reset over night (suggesting a crash) and now the phone crashes under the same scenarios mentioned above.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - I've enjoyed the ROM and hope this has been addressed with other folks and has yielded a simple solution...although I haven't seen this problem in any forums.

First, only wipe cache partition + flash the new ROM. Then, once I saw some crashing, wipe data/factor reset + wipe cache partition + flash new ROM.

I had a wallpaper reset, too. I didn't know what it might mean. Why would that indicate a crash?

I'm running the ocuvhm kernel and it works flawless stopped most of my problems.

If you've been here long enough you'll know that some of our phones work well with OC kernels and since don't. As suggested, I recommend flashing the stock kernel (white screen) and see if that solves your problem. If it does good, if not try a different thing. Make a nandroid first.

Then try another rom and see if it does the same thing. If not, I say backup your external SD card to your computer then wipe everything including your SD card and start fresh and see if that helps.
Try TWRP instead of CMW just for the heck of it. I would try downloading everything again just to be sure

I've flashed camory's CM10 for the phone, and things seem to be running smoothly, although the new Maps (7.0) freezes up things.
I supposed I'll stick with this ROM and try out AOIP again if another version is released. Thanks for the help - try to keep me posted if this problem turns out to be repeatable and addressable...
