List of common issues (and solutions) for ICS stock ROMs
I see the same questions again and again... so a FAQ is in order
This is mostly targeting the P7300 & P7310 ICS ROMs that are just getting out now. These devices are very similar to the P7500 and P7510 (10.1 tabs), and all these tabs (8.9, 10.1) tend to share the same common issues.
without further ado...
1. "screen" flickering / garbled / messed up when resuming from standby.
solution: see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867124 (summary: flash P7310UELA3 ROM via Odin, then flash your ICS ROM)
2. System freezes mysteriously, needs a forced reboot. (also: when an app force closes, the system freezes)
solution: see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843837
3. I flashed stock ICS via Odin, and now in recovery I can't flash any update.zip ("can't find /sdcard").
solution: flash another recovery via Odin. The stock ICS one can't find /sdcard. (unlike the stock HC recovery which did)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31196953#post31196953
4. How do I root after flashing ICS
Solution: If you flashed a stock ROM via Odin, then first see point 3 above to get another recovery installed, then flash any root .zip you can find (there's one in the link for point 3)
5. How do I kill the boot sound
remove or rename file /system/etc/PowerOn.ogg (you'll need root access, or you could do this via adb or via an fabricated update.zip thru recovery) - this is same as under Honeycomb
6. I don't have "universal search" (a.k.a. When I search with the google quick search box, I don't find contacts or applications).
Solution: Samsung has removed that feature in ROM for the USA region, but kept it in other ROMs. You can fix this easily, if you have a USA ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31043430#post31043430
7. I'm not seeing my WIFI router anymore
Solution: The ICS rom seems to contain a setting that prevents it from seeing wifi routers using channel 12-13 (2.4 GHz) or using 5 GHz. You have to edit /system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt (change "ccode=GB" to "ccode=ALL"). Credit: original + repost + repost + repost + repost for 8.9
8. Youtube HD video or netflix lags (is choppy), same for some local HD video.
No solution so far. (it helps to lower the quality, in youtube or netflix, but that's not what I'd call a solution).
9. Can I activate voice calling?
There are solutions floating around, for the ICS stock ROMs, and for a few others. See for instance tracid's Stock ICS P7300 ROM which has some add-on's linked in OP. For further reading, visit the voice calling MOD thread
10. Losing too much battery when idle / Deep sleep issues caused by USB Storage safe removal.
There's a possibility that your tab does not deep sleep (and loses extra battery power while idle) after attaching and removing a usb storage device. Workaround = Avoid using the "Safe Removal" option in the notifications. Read more
11. Losing too much battery when idle / Unknown reasons / l2_hsic wakelock / etc
There seem to be other "wakelocks" keeping the CPU from going into Deep Sleep (basically, powering off). The wakelock keeps the CPU at a higher speed, e.g. 216MHz, drawing more power, at least 2% per hour. There is more talk about this on the 10.1 forum than the 8.9 forum, but given the similarity of the devices and stock ICS ROMs, it probably the same issue. If you want to keep an eye on this, install BetterBatteryStats. The most cited wakelock is called "l2_hsic", and according to some occurs only on the 3g tabs if it is set to Flight Mode. (understanding of this issue is still limited and evolving) - link1 link2

noob question
I'd really like to know how to do a 'full wipe' of my device since some ROMs suggest it.
Flashed a rom, now my device looks pretty. nothing downloads and it's lost its usb connectivity. please advise?
issue 1
I have looking for this tread for two days, google not help much
Whet i install ICS the flashing display issue occure, and 10x to this tread, now i will try to install UELA3 first and i will post if it is work or not. Hope to work becouse i do like ICS on GT 7310 but im sick of restart the tablet evry 30min if i dont tuch it
What i have try (for issue 1) :
Install HC 3.2 again and enter in odin recovry mode for swipe cache and date, becouse on ics i cant see the recovry mode. Then install ics again and the problem is back. Maybe its some kernel problem becouse the problem can be seen and in odin???
Maybe if i install the the USA 3.1 or 3.2 is it possible to upgrade from kies??? Becouse if i change the rom i have spot that my tablet is connecting again to kies YEI
EDIT: After install UELA3 evrything is looking normal, my problem/issue1 is now fiewd and i can wake up my tablet after sleep
After 2 days im happy to find this thread and fix my problem
With the arrival of many new p7300 ROM's these questions are being raised again... So a little bump.
Note that at least the OpenAustria p7300 XXLQ6 ROM includes a bootloader, so issue number 1 can probably also be resolved with that ROM, instead of the old solution.
Fred isn't that nvram_net.txt?
Yes, I guess you are right. I first read about this in August in the gt 10.1 forum, and several posts mentioned nvram.txt, probably copying the mistake from each other. I'm updating the OP, but I'm waiting to access a laptop currently used by family member.
Sent from my GT-P7300 using xda app-developers app
I've flashed the OpenAustria ICS on my P7300 via Odin.
Is this a valid CWM Recovery which I also can flash for the P7300 or is there another link. This is the only one I found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30839339&postcount=52
Is there also the ICS stock recovery somewhere available?
Thanks!
I've been experiencing random reboots since I bought my Developer Edition but today I think it hit me real hard with the random reboots in short intervals.
this kind of reboots happened to me both on completely stock and custom rom but today heavy reboots occurred when I was on Insert Coin 2.0.3 (S-Off).
According to someone's advice, I installed catlog and try to record the events until the phone reboots. So I post my logs here and hope some one could save me from this misery.
the first file was recorded with "write to disk every 200 lines" so it may miss some very last event when phone rebooted. The next ones were recorded with "write to disk every 100, 20 and 10 lines". I hope some devs could have a clue on what is happening with my phone.
I also save the log file AFTER phone reboot but they were too big to attach. If you think those might helo, I'll post them somewhere else.
Might be something to do with Xposed

Yeah, I've noticed that some custom ROMs got issues with Xposed on S-Off device. However, as I mentioned earlier, this happened to me while I was on completely stock rom, too.
I've made a few observations and found out that I haven't got a single reboot on AOSP for a whole day but AOKP still gave me random reboots (not as frequent as on InsertCoin but still).
Any help would be very appreciated
might be worth trying to install sense rom again stock or custom and do full wipe, cache and dalvik. strange that an aosp rom works fine. must be something caused by a sense rom, drivers or framework. was this problem introduced when you started using 4.2.2 roms? have you updated to the new firmware.zip?
well, my habit of installing new roms is always do a full wipe so I think the cause of reboot should not be related to that.
After getting no reboot on AOSP roms (carbon, cm 10.1), I decided to go back on custom sense roms but no luck. reboots just came back no matter what roms I was on (renovate rev 45, insertcoin rev36, rayglobe 4.3).
I went to stock again with RUU dev edition (.16 one). Phone gave me a reboot right after I finished setting up (as new phone). However, it has been running stable up to now (3 hours).
Should the reboot have any thing to do with Sense, i'm wondering. I would be very thankful if any devs can help me on this issue. I'm willing to make as many logs as required or install any custom, stock roms if neccessary.
Sincere
Hi guys.I have the Mix since Dec last year and it's definitely one of the best phones I've used recently.
I. Currently using theatest Epic ROM but my issues I have ...Apps fc'ing randomly and also random reboots...Have been happening constantly even with other ROMs.I usually do a full wipe when flashing.What can be causing this problems.
Thanks in advance
I found in the past when I used unofficial miui roms for other devices [for which unofficial is the only choice] that fc and random reboots usually came down to an argument between hand installed [flashed or app style install] google apps and the core of miui. This was especially common when I flashed gapps through twrp, even into a clean flash of the rom. I have used miui roms on many other devices, stopped at the note 3 when it would behave for a week or so but over time pick up fc's and reboots that would drive me crazy after a bit. No google apps and no fc's /reboots on the note 3 at the time. Have you tried the stable Chinese rom [unaltered]?
If all else fails it could be a ram /internal storage issue.
I havent tried any official roms but I see that there is a official global rom now available.
I will give it a go and hope the fc's and reboots stop.
Thanks:good:

Not much really, you would have to go back on its warranty if any. Others may have more help though. Try and find ways to test the on board ram / storage and see if there are any issues, I am not knowledgeable enough in that area to guide you though.
Thanks though
Hi guys,
I'm a bit concerned about my mi8. Since several weeks now the phone is getting so slow to boot, even into recovery mode !
For exemple, today before starting to see the havoc logo spinning I count more than 20 spins. Months ago it took only 5 or 6, 2 weeks ago : more than 8... Etc.
When phone is started first apps tha usualy open really fast (Viper4fx, gsam battery monitor, magisk notifications) are so slow to open. Some other apps same thing the moment I open them.
What do you think about that ? At first I thought my battery is dead. It charges as fast as usual. Discharging is like before I'd way. Not worst for sure So I hope Its nor that.
I'm using battery charge limit (the app, nor from havoc sertings) to stop at 81% and charge it always when the minimum reaches 40%. So for battery life I think I'm doing things well.
I'm still on pie. Please, see the attached picture to look at my version.
I'm wondering what could cause this big issue.
I'm used my make lot of backups with twrp 3.3.1-1. Sometimes 2 per days, sometimes none in 2 or 3 days and so from the day I unlocked the phone and installed my first and only rom : havoc. Sure I installed several updates but no other ROM and I stopped updating it cause it worked really as I expect it should. So...
Also, making twrp backups are Soooo slow. Generaly it tooks depending of the size, between 90 sec and 140. Now it takes more than 6 min !!
So before doing a last backup and do anything I wanted to ask what you all think about that before doing a clean install update/upgrade.
Do you think it worth the try ?
I tried to clear caches (both) in twrp. Nothing :/
I'm afraid I killed my phone memory or battery. Don't really know.
Last thing, maybe an important one but don't know why it would... I installed notify & fitness and sleep as Android for my mi band 4 and I noticed my phone getting slow during this period. About N&F it was on 12.27.2019.
The firmware was updated way after that issue... And of course I cleaned all app caches manualy, not using some weird app to do the job.
Sorry me for this long SOS, and please forgive my bad english. I'm starting to being crazy. OK, the phone works but oooh boy, Its slow.
Cheers
Your rom software is out of date. if you truly want the best experience on a daily basis. There is no doubt in my mind that Xiaomi.EU is still the absolute best experience overall.
It is light years better than the Global stock Rom, all of the bloat has been removed and it has some of the Pixel AOSP features integrated into the Rom. but yes it's still miui. For me that is a good thing because I am a fan. It sounds like you have never tried Xiaomi.EU so give it a shot. I guarantee, that if you keep it installed for a few days, you will not want anything else unless you are just bored. Wait until the new update comes out, it should be late today or tomorrow. by the way, you will average about 7.5 -8.5 hours SOT.
On the other hand, if you are content with Havoc, then migrate to the latest, Its pretty great but the battery SOT time is bad right at 4 hours. This can be improved by changing the kernel. I tested the LawRun_x5.0-60hz kernel and it improves SOT to 5.5 hours, and the OS gennnerally runs better. Other Roms are also good, but lack the abundance of features that Havoc has. A comparable heavily feature rich rom is CRDroid.
If you want to stay on your current rom, then clean your caches, and at least upgrade the kernel. That alone may be enough to improve your recent performance. i dont think you phone is going bad. You likely just have some corruption, or too many processes running in the background.
@tsongming Hi and cheers for replying.
To start, I forget to mention that I'm using a global version.
That being said, I did clean all caches including from all my apps. Manualy of course.
I did use Xiaomi MIUI for very long time. Since I got my first Redmi Note 4. As you well said, I did switch to custom ROMs for what you said.
Regarding SOT... And the reason why I didn't update anything on my Mi8 its because with this version of havoc and this kernel. Gsam bat monitor tells me now : 9h41 (5h58 Max) and before my issue it was 11h !
So, to answer you : before asking here I also trying to update the Rev kernel but lot of things didn't work anymore. Like unlock the phone with my fingers and I think its pretty much normal as Havoc as evolved so kernel did the same and is not compatible with older version I think. At least, mine...
Honestly I tried lot of things to make my havoc super speed, smooth with a great battery and I was happy with that
I do hope I answered to all your questions.
I don't know what to do cause I'm not 100% sure that starting from clean MIUI or custom rom will fix it. What if not ? I'll "forced" to reinstall "everything" (I'm aware of backup apps but dont wanna use them) even if I saved all important stuffs
And if I badly revert to the last MIUI (I never reinstalled MIUI after a custom ROM. I know there is good tuto, but...) I could break it and I'll loose everything. For now it works, slowly OK ^^' but I rather that than taking a risk and found what is the cause of my problem.

The current version of Havoc already uses the Revolution kernel, and its part of the current problem so use something else. The Law kernel that I mentioned is extremely good. but so are the others latest release such as Mipa and Twisted. and no fingerprint issues with these kernels.
As a longtime user you do know that anytime you switch the kernel that you should remove all passkeys, screenlocks, face unlock etc.? This could explain the slowness, you have encryption issues.
Android 10 is much improved over pie, except for the battery 11 hours SOT is unheard of on Android 10. Except for 1 guy claiming 11 hours on the ION rom. I tried the rom and it is good. but I am only getting 7 hours Sot, and the Rom is like Lineage, just the basics. No fingerprint issues.
You truly need a full clean install, including formatting storage. just backup your files first.
Xiaomi Miui? Did you mean Xiaomi.EU? if not Xiaomi.EU , then you really should try it, you wouldn't know from a past experience. This is Miui 11 on Android 10 and its flawless.
thx again @tsongming
Yep, I note all what you said to me. But to be honest last year anytime I switched from kernels to kernels I never had to reset screenlock etc. Last year cause as I said once I found the kernel which suits me I stuck with it.
So I can state its note related to that cause I didn't change it since month trust me, just tried the last kernel one or week ago to be sure if it was the cause or not. Just installed and uninstalled apps since.
look at this screenshot you'll see what I meant about SOT which was better month ago. :/ Maybe I didn't explain well...
I'm not against trying any roms including xiaomi.eu perhaps (I do have links for this I think but any link is appreciated just in case. I just download the lastest stable 11 from xiaomi.eu if its what you have in mind) but I want to be sure if it'll fix what I'm facing. You know ?
I'm afraid that doing a clean install with any rom won't fix my beautiful Mi8 ^^

You posted a question asking for help, but then you dont want to try anything because you tried things before. Yes, its true that Magisk is sometimes persistent, but it depends on the release. it is safer to remove the passkeys.
But if you really think about it, what would cause the phone to cool down, ignore the battery stats especially from Gsam it's often very wrong, I use it too, for years and in your case you are getting good SOT because you have a zero % for the phone. It's almost like a Sim card isn't installed? Every rom will provide extremely fantastic SOT when a sim card isn't being used. If you have an active sim card then something is wrong with the monitoring because Gsam is showing 0%, it should show something even if you havent made a phone call for days.
Do whatever you want it's your phone:
I still think that you have encryption or corruption issues and its bad enough for your to make a post about it. FYI : The battery dying doesnt slow down the phone. Yes, some stock roms, notably Apple intentionally by choice changed the kernel core settings automatically on aging batteries. Hence the huge controversy a couple of years ago, that isn't happening to you.
A dying battery doesn't slow down the phone, evn cold solder joints do not slow down the phone, they keep a phone from booting to system and to recovery. The only thing left is corruption or thermals, which on this phone good luck editing thermals because they are mostly encrypted. The remaining possibility is corruption, post your log files and lets see what's actually going on.
Again, what would slow down your phone even in recovery?
It's always thermals, or corruption. Slow to start up, even in recovery.: We can rule out thermals unless your battery temp or cores temps are extremely high. This leaves corruption. if its slow while booted into the system, then you may have apps or processes crashing and you are not aware of it. If that is true, then eventually the phone may stop booting up altogether. If its thermals causing overheating you should truly resolve this issue immediately before actual heat damage occurs. Did you ever flash display refresh rate mods? If so your DTBO partition could be the issue....corruption.
Use this program to provide an app list : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.onyxbits.listmyapps ( Weed out any unknown programs that you may not realise are installed. Post the list along with complete logs. Once you see these crashes, that I am sure the logs will show: Do as I suggested earlier: wipe and "format" your phone. Then later use best practices and remove passwords before changing kernels
Cheers. I'll try what you suggest.
I might have some questions in the future regarding format and some other things.
Never flashes display refresh rate and never noticed any overheat issue on my phone.
Sure, I'll do something like you said as soon as possible.
PS : you said "before remove passwords". You mean in the parameters of the phone like schema/diagram, pin, etc ?
Cheers

You could remove password under data/system/locksettings.bin But it's better to just go the settings//security/ *.* < remove whatever you have setup : prints and face unlock first before, pattern or pin.
Another good practice for Android 10, should you go there is :
Extract the boot image from the rom
Place it inside the downloads folder.
When ready to flash root, patch to the boot image first, ( this links the existing system binary credentials into the boot image)
Boot to recovery flash boot to boot
Then flash magisk > then boot to system and you will have no issues whatsoever with root.
Afterwards, if you decide to flash different kernel, Magisk is more likely to stay stay persistent.
I hope everything is good from this point forward take care.
@tsongming Thanks for reminding me the locksettings.bin thing because I used it once on my old phone and I forgot that.
Never installed 10 yet. But I take carefuly your advice.
Hello!
Did you fix it? Because it's happening to my Mi 8 too. It's exactly the same issue, the phone takes a long time to boot up, to open apps and even to boot into TWRP
I have that issues on my mi8
I had this problem with me before and I solved it by flashing the last official ROM, Now the problem happened to me again and I do not know what is the reason behind it @tsongming

I recently had some issues with my phone as well. I was able to get my phone back to normal functioning by flashing the latest stable fastboot rom using the flashall.bat method. (dipper_global_images_V11.0.3.0.QEAMIXM_20200118.0000.00_10.0_global)
I kept everything stock for a few days even recovery, to ensure once that everything was back to normal.
Next I flashed the latest OrangeFox beta recovery, and I highly recommend the latest beta build over any other version of Recovery, it will decrypt when official Twrp will not. It is now more up to date than the LR Team version, and all of the bugs have been solved by DarthJabba. In fact, he even added a script to work around poorly designed startup scripts, which are suprisening not consistent between the wide range of custom roms for the Mi8.
Today, I am still using Orange Fox, ( OrangeFox-R10.1_002-Beta-dipper) and the latest stable Magisk. I no longer have freezing, unexpected shutdowns, slow starts, or poor battery life. My issue was without a doubt corruption, and bugs with the mid february version of Xiaomi.EU. The last 2 releases have been solid.
Since this weekend I face the same problem. Every action seems to bit slower than before. And I don't know what I did that resulted in this problem. The last thing I remember I installed was the new Miui12 live backgrounds. But I deleted them again.
I'm on stock since some weeks.
But I don't want to install everything from the beginning again.
Do you know how to solve the problem without wiping everything?
Edit: As I think about it, it seems as if the caching of the apps doesn't work as good as before and the killing of apps is too aggressiv.
But what did affect it?
Edit: I found the solution for my problem.
With Android Battery Historian was able to find the process that made the trouble.
It was the Miui wallpaper carousel app. After deleting it the problems were gone.

it's a hardware issue and it's going to keep coming back, i spent the last two months trying to resolve it but i gave up.
it seems that UFS chip malfunctions on a lot of F1 and mi8 phones.

Sorry for repling only now guys...
Thx to all who proposed to solve my issue, I will tell you what I did to fix my mi 8.
I did a crystal clean flash :
- downloaded & installed last miui image using miflash
- used "clean all" at the bottom right (be careful to not choose something else like "lock boot loader ")
- then you'll need to flash recovery (twrp), then format data by typing yes. Then copy from where you want your custom rom, flash it flash magisk and boot.
I did this several months from now and my phone is like just new!
No issue at all since.
I guess installing lot of different kernels like I did before must have broken something and hopefully this could help if you dont have more serious issues.
Ps: battery is more than ok and there is no hardware problem.
Thx again to Dexer125 for his help!

I can confirm this.
I have been unrooted on stock for a few months now and have had no problems since then.
Hello, I have the slow issue (Androbench app with poor performances) after several dates when I have rooted my phone: Mi8 Chinese version with stock global ROM.
After unroot the phone, several days after, the phone works fine with Androbench app with good performances.
I need root my phone to use Magisk hide for Google Pay in order to avoid the Google block for contactless payment.
Can anybody help me about the understanding of this behaviour?
I do not know the reason why the phone is slow after root and why the phone works fine after several days after rooting.

Hello, I have the slow issue (Androbench app with poor performances) after several dates when I have rooted my phone: Mi8 Chinese version with stock global ROM.
After unroot the phone, several days after, the phone works fine with Androbench app with good performances.
I need root my phone to use Magisk hide for Google Pay in order to avoid the Google block for contactless payment.
Can anybody help me about the understanding of this behaviour?
I do not know the reason why the phone is slow after root and why the phone works fine after several days after rooting.
Thanks in advance. Regards

Hi,
Mine has hardware issue (rooted).
Didn't try to unroot it if there is a difference like you describe.
Can't help you with magisk hide. I don't use it.
I have this issue with my mi 8 guys, just happened yesterday
So flashing the latest official rom via miflash is the way to fix it?

Hello, yes in my case. Sometimes, with wipe all, internal storage included, the problem it solved.
Recently I have the issue again without root: only with custom rom flashed. Several times the issue was reproduced out of my habitual site during vacances.
Thanks
