Make a clean flash. Wipe all, install rom, reboot, wipe cache , dalvik cache, flash new kernel. Maybe left some settings from older roms or kernels

thanks for your answer!, but i tried all those steps. But with no succes
Strange part of the story is, that wi-fi allways worked on my phone, also with ICS, but with newer versions or something, it goes wrong

For what it is worth - I also had the wifi toggling problem on the last 2 ROMS that I tried:
Slim_ICS_sgs_2.6.zip
aokp_galaxysmtd_build-25-be18.zip
The problems started exactly a week ago.
I ended moving back to Slim_ICS_2.5.zip where everything works OK.
From what I understand the problem is limited to a small number of users...
I am wondering if it might not be related to recent changes in the source code (both of the above ROMS are compiled from source).
I am however very curious why some people are impacted (with the wifi toggling issue) and others are not. Maybe it is related to their LOCALs (mine is FR/fr) and/or regions... just a thought. All comments welcome!
The problem line is that I am going to sit on the fence for awhile and see if something needs to (or will) be changed at source level.

Starting animation is flashing

I have a issue that when I use the ICS or JB ROM,the starting animation keeps flashing.When the tablet finishes booting,lock the screen and then unlock it the flashing will stop.Anybody has the same problem?
Plus the tablet will sometimes turns on itself after I turn it off.
If someone can help me solve those problem,I really appreciate it.
Thanks!

I have same problem with mine...somebody told me it's somehow related to undervolted screen or something. I'm no expert, but you can find my thread if you search for screen artifacts on my tab, I think.

These issues are already being discussed on the threads. You are dealing with ALPHA (JB) and mostly BETA (ICS) ROMs so bugs are to be expected. The only game we can play is the waiting game until devs get official source for some drivers and keep fixing stuff. If you want something stable, you can always go back to stock Honeycomb 3.2 firmwares.

I had the same problem when I first installed JB. The instructions I read did not say that you need to wipe the data, cache, and davlik cache (under Advanced in CWM Restore). I wiped those and it booted just fine.
This was my first root / custom ROM install, that was the only real bump in the road for me.

Every ROM requires a full wipe if you want a trouble-free experience apart from the ROM bugs, especially with an alpha. An alpha ROM is not suited for newcomers so, you should've started with something basic, something stable as Overcome for example, in order to learn the basics of flashing and everything. You were lucky you didn't break anything.

Galaxy Note problem: self reboot /self restart with Android 4.0.4

I have an international unrooted Galaxy Note. During Gingerbread it was stable. Since the ICS update it is very unstable. Battery drain. Sometimes no deep sleep. Self reboots. App crashes.
I had not performed a factory resets before upgrading.
I read in forums that those steps could help
a) getting the battery out for 10 seconds
b) removing unnecessary apps (that might be a problem)
c) moving all apps to internal memory
This actually did help. The Note was more stable. Hardly any self reboots anymore. Mostly it did deep sleep.
Yesterday I did install Android 4.0.4 and hoped that the problem would be gone forever.
BUT – the self restart problem with my Galaxy Note under Android 4.0.4 is worse than ever. I had about hourly self restarts yesterday. I will test again today but I am very unsatisfied.
I am coming from an iPhone and still like the form factor of the Galaxy Note. I also like that you can customize so much. Most Apps that I want to use are available for Android. Some Apps are even better. Some UI details are definitely better.
But the instability of Android on my Note is driving me crazy. This is not acceptable. A real turn off for anybody used the stability that iOS provides.
Besides my rant. Does anybody have the same problems? What are solutions.
I am reluctant to perform a factory reset. I am not aware how to backup Apps, screen layout and picture data. Unhappy ex iOS now Android user.

It doesn't sound like normal behaviour, You can have a search through the forum here and a few people have had similar issues, some caused by apps / launchers (APEX & auto Wi-Fi from memory)..
In any case, As a test I would suggest a complete clean install, these are steps I just completed last night as I wanted a fresh system.
Basically;
- Backup data from Internal and External SD - Connect to your PC and just drag and drop the folders from internal and External SD to your PC
- Go back to GB using PC ODIN - Once on GB you are safe from the Brickbug..
- Wipe and Factory Reset (ONLY WHEN ON GB!!
- Format Internal and External SD cards through settings ONLY WHEN ON GB!!
- Flash 4.0.4 / ROM of choice...
WARNING: NEVER WIPE / FACTORY RESET / FORMAT ON ANY ICS STOCK KERNEL

EDIT: - Or return the device to the SSC if you have warranty..

Flash gingerbread rom in pc odin
Now your in gingerbread rom. Go to CWM recovery, do the wiping data, cache and dalvik(do not reboot yet)after these take out your battery for one minute, put the battery back, then directly go to download mode and flash ics rom for clean install. It will solve your battery problem and fc.

Thanks for all you tips. I am getting shivers when I think about having to root …*but, I just uninstalled AutoWIFI. Thinking about, it this could very well be the problem. I also have ADW EX Launcher running. This will be the next App to remove. I will try this first and see how it behaves. gfisch

Sorry for that CWM recovery, just use stock recovery of gingerbread rom its ok, wipe data and cache. No need to root.

Apps on sd card cause reboots
Hello there, I was having the exact same problems as you. Random reboots sometimes 1 - 3 times a day. I found that the solution to my problem lies in the move apps to sd functionality of android. It is an actual issue with android (#25563). The os keeps rebooting when apps are installed on the sd card. I discovered this here: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25563
Since moving all of my apps to internal memory the problem has disappeared, my battery is flat lining when idle (1 -2% drain every 2 hours) my phone is also much more responsive.
You may want to check that there are no apps installed on your sd card (the internal sd called usb storage)
EDIT: AutoWIFI could also cause the reboot problems. I had the same issue with Juice Defender causing reboots.

Im also running 4.0.4 ics and i have had restarts from being on GB. It was very bad in the start but soon as i updated to the ics one before this it got abit worst. Now im on 4.4 it still happends. now it happenss when im in apps mostly . wot can i do???

I think you ought to do a clean install (flash) an ICS rom of your own choice. By that, I mean for you to do wipe/factory reset, clear cache and Dalvik cache. The important thing here is to do it correctly.
To flash a rom, you need to be in CWM mode. The next thing to do is to flash Abyss and then reboot recovery! After this you are good to flash any ICS rom.
YOU MUST ONLY DO THE WIPE AFTER YOU HAVE REBOOTED THE RECOVERY!
There is no need to mess around with moving apps to external sd card, not at this stage anyway. Hopefully, with the clean system, your problem would go away.
Hope this would offer some help.

help with apps
I'm having some issues about some apps of instant messaging on my galaxy N7000. the apps i'm talking about are whatsapp kakao talk messenger viber and chatOn. after downloading and configuring the apps theybseems to work but in a while they are automatically removed from the phone and on the status bar the following message is displayed " whats app has been removed" even if i don't uninstall it. it happens all the times. i tried to contatt the apps developer,the google play customer service and samsung customer service but noone give me an answer. i took some logs about the installing and uninstalling process of the apps and i wanna know if someone could read that for me instead of finding a solution. i can't attach any file yet but i can send it by mail to those who wants to.leave his email address even in a pm. thank you for anyone can help. sorry in advanced if this is not the right place to edit this thread
I opened another thread about this issues but i suppose this could be a more appropriate section.
Hope i'm not messing aroud

Thanx for The reply. I've now been rooted but still on stock rom ics 4.0.4 but I still get those hangs time to time when I'm doing to many thins at once. Until I find a rom that's stable ill stay on stock lol the threads about peoples phones seems like a nightmare.
Can your steps still be done? Newbie so I don't understand hardly anything. I'm on speedmod kernal.

Ok, I'm sort of a year late, but recently, I've been having the same issue as well. S oi've got a safe kernel, and wiped/factory reset the pone.
now I lost all my apps, and th eproblem still exists. Any chance its a hardware problem?

Install another Kernel !!
I suggest you to install a new kernel, Franco.kernel or HydraCore Kernel

Which rom to 4.1 rom to choose? Problems with lagging

I've tryed many 4.1 rooms and I have problems with lagging with almost all of them. I have tryed almost all recent 4.1 official leaks but still: lagging in desktop even without live wallpaper.
Some time ago I had AOSP what was working really good in comparison with new leaks. Even if I reset phone lagging is not gone (a bit better).
Also I have tryed installing stock rom and kernel before last flash (to 2.3, than to 4.0 and now to 4.1) but its still laggy. Any ideas, solution? Is this normal behavior? Because most of the people doesn't say its lagging to them...

When you flash roms do you do a full wipe? Do you go into mounts/storage and format system,data,preload, etc?
I'm wondering if maybe there are too many old files on your phone that should be cleaned out.
I'm currently using Alliance JB, the latest leak, and there is next to no lag.
I also use BlackCNA, an older ASOP rom, and that has ZERO lag.

When you flash roms do you do a full wipe?

Many times. Wipe, cache, dalwik... all...

Thats actualy the only think I didn't do (format all storage). But I have deleated folders, programs many times, so there shouldn't be many files that aren't currently in use.
Than I should delete partition one day, until then: any more ideas what would be wrong?

Formatting system, data, preload is recommended..so, may b u can flash a rom after following all these steps & then see the difference..I hv installed 2-3 custom JB roms & haven't felt that its laggy apart frm some known bugs on the leaked firmwares..

Complete Phone Reset Query

Currently Running CM 7.2 but I am not too happy about its random performance & whenever I read others comments they seem to have a better expierience of the rom.
So. I was thinking about doing a factory reset & then reloading CM back on again etc.
Would this actually help and improve my phones performance?
Would a full factory reset lose me my Root?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

It might improve.
But remember restoring through titanium or any back up brings it's own issues....better to install from play store
Factory reset does not make it loose root...just deleting apps, user data but to the basic form of the ROM when installed
