Hello, after the official ICS update for Germany gnote its nothing but problems for me, unstable and slow not impressed at all.
Today I ran into phone app crashing constantly. I'm using Samsung's original Gnote car mount and I have it set landscape view as most of us do. When I got a call while driving I noticed the whole screen went BLACK! couldn't see who was calling and wasn't able to click anything... Few seconds later got a notice saying android phone app had crashed! Wtf.... So I wondered if this only happens in landscape view? What do you know, it was! When the phone is in portrait view phone didn't crash at all...
So I would like to find out if this is just happening to me only? Please if you own a Samsung gnote official carmount and if you have updated your gnote to Samsung's official ICS update (germany) try to make a phone call while your phone is in landscape view.
Please let me know thank you for your time!
Update: I'm sure many of us reported germany samsung this issue but what the hell I did it this morning as well included with video. I hope they release fix soon.

Yes, here is from Italy another "unlucky user" with the same problem!!!
German Galaxy Note with stock ICS - German version and original Samsung car mount...
Exactly the same problem, with dark screen and com.android.phone terminated and instability
I made a couple of times re-flash also starting again from GB and updating again to ICS... NOTHING always the same mess.
I spent a lot of hours to be at the same page
The crazy thing is that the issue is only if connecting the chip that powers the phone. I mean that just keeping in horizontal without power supply everything works. When plugging, at that stage it is the voice car mode that creates the trouble! But if you just use the voice interaction without putting in the car mount... everything is working fine again, either in vertical or horizontal positions
The difference I noticed is that the car mode icon appears, and at that stage we are in trouble. I couldn't find any parameter to avoid that plugging the phone in the car mount this car mode is activated, otherwise the bypass would have been easy, given that I do not use the voice commands...
can we report to germany samsung yet? is it officially out in germany?

I just sent Samsung Germany an email with video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF1MXXSADCc), now we all wait :/
no workaround that we might find?
If some expert guy here would know how to prevent any specific software function launch when connecting the power in this car mount accessory.... We would maximise the probabilities that everything works fine as without power supply.
The only issue would be phone calls in vertical mode only.

how about using other launcher and phone app?
I have also report to samsung australia, hope the fix it before rolling out the ICS release. The live chat support just said will forward it to the related department.
update: actually australia samsung is not selling the vehicle dock, probably they wont support it at all

The launcher is bypassed by the car accessory. When connecting power authomatically the system launches the "horizontal car mode" and vocal guidance and I'm sure this state is the one that creates the problem
My perception is that the customer service does not report problems to the HQ, I'm afraid so we should hope they discovered the issue on their own and are studying a fix
depends, i used to report weird bug to htc, but it usually take them 7 months in average to fix it. this is my 1st samsung phone, so i m not aure about samsung procedures.

The same for me. The fact is that we can disable the voice commands interface, but once connected the supply plug through the car mount, the "car mode" remains on, and as a matter of fact the phone calls come in horizontal
The only way everything is working, in horizantal and inside the car mount, is to not connect the supply/audio connector!
The battery is not charging at that stage of course, the phone calls are in vertical but the navigator and all the other interfaces are working in horizontal
Till when the battery is exhausted... it's working fine
Let's hope for a fix (or a workaround from the XDA community) in a short time

Hello all,
I'm experiencing this issue since I got my phone, I've experienced it on all roms including stock everything, google edition rom and android revolution HD.
The problem goes like this... I'm using an app, all of a sudden it freezes, I can't perform any tasks on it. I try to force close it and reload it but it becomes frozen. I put my screen to sleep and the device never wakes, only the capacitive buttons do. Then the phone forces a reboot after about 30 seconds.
Sometimes, I try to wake up my phone and it never wakes, it seems apps or something within the android system is frozen.
I have gone through firmware, factory resets, roms and kernels I don't know of what else to do.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm on Developers Edition 64gb
By the way the frequency of this happening is about twice a week.

Didn't receive until June 3rd. What do you mean take action, I mean the phone has been bugged out since day 1 evidently. Thoughts? I'm still scouring to see if it's a rouge app.. can i log this error somehow. I tried alogcat but no luck.
Can any developer chime in?
Found this on android forums, seems to be the same issue http://androidforums.com/htc-one/716007-freezing-lock-up-issues.html

In the interview with CNET the android guys said it was mostly improved voice and touch response.
Got the update. Only two things I noticed so far is improved touch response (Scrolling through watch faces used to be a little bit of a pain). And it looks to have fixed this weird issue I had with the Dark Analog watch face where it would start to have this weird coloring when trying to dim after getting a notification. Goes perfectly black and white every time now it seems.

I received the KGW42N update and everything seemed to be going well then it rebooted and became stuck on the Downloading..... Do not turn off the device.
I waited 30 minutes then I held the button for a long time to reboot it. It did the updating 1 of 27 apps message like any Android OS then went to my Matrix Watch Face.
Everything was laggy for quite some time, swiping between screens and google now were horrible.
Also it was dropping Bluetooth connections quite frequently.
Rebooted my phone and Live 3 or 4 times and hopefully everything is good now.
I hope everyone else's update goes smooth.
I did notice my minuum keyboard in wear messenger no longer has the little send key.
I received the update this evening. Voice to text to reply to text messages seems to work better. Will need to use it more to make sure.

There are also a few new options in the wear app now as well
If you have TWRP flashed on this, the update does write over it with the stock recovery, you will have to reflash TWRP.

I bought a ME170CX - a1 - bk /K01A for my kids, and I just would like to know if there is confirmed ( safe and simple ) root method for this model. I have come across instructions ( rootzenfone) for other MEMOpad models but nothing concrete for this specific one. Infact the rootzenfone site states:
"Does not support models:
Fonepad 7 FE170CG (K012)
MeMO Pad 7 ME170C (K017)
MeMO Pad 7 ME70C (K01A)"
Thanks in advance...
if necessary, admins please merge this with the appropriate thread.
I'll be following this post myself. In same situation, kids gift etc.
There's a reply within this post (see link below) which states they were able to obtain root (near bottom of page). I haven't tried it yet myself.

Yeah that's what I used. I myself updated to 4.4.2 then rooted. Make sure you turn off Wi-Fi (forget network then turn WiFi off). After you hit the root button you will get a prompt that demo mode has been activated, just ignore this. Count to 10 as soon as you hit the button and power down. Wait 5 seconds and power back on.

I just wanted to ask since I can't find much discussion elsewhere on this, are there any ROMs out there for this Tablet? I honestly hate the bloatware installed on this Tablet, I just want something light on battery and fast for my simple tasks. I got this tablet for a nice price and would be a shame if there is not much available...
Unfortunately, there aren't any roms as of yet. I actually returned mine today and picked up a Nextbook 8. I'm in the same boat with this tablet. Gonna return this one also. Nexus 7 it is....again.

I followed the instructions exactly.after I restarted it went to a second Asus loading screen It set there for like over an hour. Every time I reset it, it did the same thing. I eventually just did a hard reset. Now when I boot it says asus live demo has stopped working a whole bunch of times and everything is running like ****. I have rooted plenty of devices before and never had trouble. Is there any way I can actually restore back to normal or get the root to work. Please help. I am kinda freaking out.

That is a bummer... I just rooted this tablet and started to unistall the bloatware, I will share my results on whether that improves performance.
I actually got this tablet for $39.99 (I used an old coupon code I received), I feel like it may not be worth the hassle to return, since the Nextbook is $99.99.
Fingers are crossed deleting the crapware improves performance drastically, and possibly battery life! It's a neat tablet and can be an awesome tool for my use.

To remove the offline demo in the notification in ME70C
1. You must be online !!!
2. Enable developer mode in tab.
3. Follow the steps mentioned in "Demo On/Off Instructions". Once you go thought all the step mentioned .Tab will start playing the demo. (Note: it will take to update around 4-5mins, you check in notification bar)
4. Now need to deactivate the demo mode.
5. When the demo video is playing on screen hold Back Key for more than 10 seconds, until is shows a page.
6. The password is 741603.
7. The tab will automatically reboot and wipe all user data and deactivate demo mode.
8. Wait until factory reset completes. Once everything is finished tab will boot up with welcome screen
In this process the tab will be factory reset. So backup your data first!

For some reason, when I try to edit my contacts in the stock Contacts app, I get that stupid "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped" message. Does anyone know why this is happening, and perhaps how to fix it? I tried deleting the data & cache and force stopping it, but nothing works. I did end up getting a more stable contacts app called Contacts +, but I'd still like to get this resolved anyway.
Thanks.
I can edit contacts within stock app. Not sure why its force closing on you.

I C. That's cool.
I may just use Xperia Companion to reinstall the software then.
But will using Xperia Companion to "repair" the phone's software mean it installs the INTERNATIONAL firmware, or the US? lol If I get the US firmware then I'd have to get the software to reinstall the fingerprint software too b/c we both know Sony Mobile idiotically decided not to give the US version that.
It will install whatever you currently have on the device.

I went ahead and used XC to do all that to resolve a few issues. Hoping it will do so.

Yeah....... it could be any of those. It was suggested to me to just wait and Sony may very likely send an update to fix it. I'm using Contacts + for now and it's been working just fine.
I have the same issue on the contacts app. I have both the X and XP but somehow X works perfectly but not the XP. I even did a repair with XC and it still doesn't work.

Ok so it's not just me. lol I also did a repair with XC and yeah still not letting me edit contacts. I'm not sure what to do but for now I'm just gonna use Contacts + until it's fixed. If you figure out a way to fix it, please let us know.
I also notice Google Messenger, which always worked before on my Z3 and S7, doesn't work so well for MMS messages on the XP. In group texts, the recipients I send to would get my group response AND the same response would be sent to each one individually. But I went back to using Textra which is also great and now at least that issue's been resolved.

Yeah that is some BS. One guy on here who bought the int'l XP from the same retailer as I did said he doesn't have that problem anymore after using XC (he did initially though), but we still do. Don't get it, but yeah.........hopefully an update is sent out SOON by Sony to resolve this matter.

So I loaded both the X and XP with the same apps and it turns out the speed difference are pretty minimal despite having different processors. I am seriously considering selling the XP and just keep the X. But yeah hopefully an update will be out soon to fix your problem. I am using the X now and maybe its a keeper for me lol

My contacts app is working fine on the xp. Granted I started the phone through initial set up as a new phone. Not restoring any back ups during the initial process. I went to the contacts app and it was working correctly then I imported from Google account after the fact.

gclancer,
Yeah but for me, it's not just about the speed. I love having the IP65/68 rating as I sometimes have to take calls while in the shower (I leave phone near bathroom door, not in shower lol). I'll step out and take them with wet hands and face......so for me, the XP is a must since the X doesn't have that feature. Being slightly faster is not a big deal, you're right there........but I'd still prefer it.

MGS,
Yeah the 2nd time around (maybe 1st too?), which was when I used XC, I made sure to choose the option to set up as a new phone too. I didn't really have any backups to restore anyway, so this was the only option. Yet when I went to the Contacts app it still wouldn't let me edit random contacts, though everything else worked fine with it. So not sure but since everything else is fine with phone, I'm just gonna let it go since I now use Contacts + anyway and it's much more stable.
I have been having the same issues. I have tried factory resetting it different ways. The sony bridge repair tool does not even list the Xperia X Performance on its list of phones yet. So, that's a bummer. There's this site that gives you 4 ways to do a hard reset. However, on the 4th method where you are asked to download Sony's flash tool, the X Performance isn't even listed on the supported devices.
I do wish that Sony sends a fix immediately.
mac,
I returned the phone (which had other issues too) to my Amazon seller (NGP) and the replacement they sent me this morning came ALREADY set up. Normally I would be mad about that, but the Contacts app WORKED! Didn't close out when I tried to edit it. I wanted to make sure it was fixed though, so I did a factory reset, and ughh........ it's not working now again. I e-mailed NGP and asked them to tell me what they did. I hope they can tell me so I can do it too and fix this. I will keep this thread posted.
You're right, it's very annoying! MGS told me he factory resetted but didn't use backup during setup or even log in with Google account, and it worked for him. But when I tried that........nope! Even tried creating a new account, and nope! Very weird, but again I hope NGP can tell me what they did.
Mine seem to work alright, I can edit the phone number and or contact details.

I did factor reset, in the store, I just briefly set the phone to test it for dead pixels and other functions, after that I reseted it to do fully setup with my own data.
