Just got my D2 a couple days ago...replacement for Eris. I must say I'm relatively pleased with it...I do notice that battery issue, and the slight occasional lag.
But I was wondering is there a way to turn off the auto align when placing apps, and widgets on the homescreens?
So the battery life on my Vibrant was complete crap after upgrading to JI6...we're talking maybe 6 hours on standby, no use at all, 100%->dead.
I was getting ready to eBay my Vibrant and pick up on of these.
However, I ended up uninstalling a home screen widget I wasn't using anymore (Weather Channel). All of a sudden, my battery life is solid again.
I'm not sure if there's a bug in the Weather Channel widget that was not a problem until the JI6 update, but whatever it was, it fixed my issue.
So give it a shot if you're in the same boat.

Yay, awful coding!
Yep, I had WeatherBug installed on my computer, and I had to uninstall it due to terrible battery drain. In addition to the widget, they also run all the time in you notification bar as well. Terrible coding.
I wish I could get an HTC Sense Clock/Weather widget for this thing... HTC's widgets are almost a reason to pick their phones over anyone else's.
You could of saved $60 flashing the JI2 Modem.
not the kinda thing i want to write up first thing in the morning but i want to see if i'm alone here or if these are release wide bugs in which case hopefully asus will fix them.
for some perspective, i have a galaxy nexus and that does not have any of these issues.
Gallery: i downloaded a few files off of the internet and then never showed up in the browser, even after forcing a refresh and erasing the data they did not show up. After rebooting they showed up, but on first boot nothing would work.
MKVs/AVIs. diceplayer
So 720p MKVs are even worse than before. they lag so bad that it makes honeycomb look good. 720p avi file plays perfectly.
standard def avi files in diceplayer and moboplayer are being sped up just slightly. kinda like looking at a 120hz tv. was not like this in honeycomb.
And on my Galaxy Nexus these files play perfectly in diceplayer and moboplayer, so i doubt it's an ICS issue, but an asus issue.
------
curious to see if anyone else has these issues. honestly very upset with the video issues. i was hoping that ICS would finally allow me to play my hd videos, and now my HD and SD videos are screwed up. almost like asus is forcing me to buy the prime if i want to watch videos, which i refuse to do
Two bugs I've seen so far:
-Battery meter taps out at 99%... It will not say 100. The lockscreen says Charged, but check in Battery and it says 99%, also in the notification area in the lower right.
-Two hours later, the Sync Browser in the Accounts and Sync is still thinking...

I have the same on my Moto Defy with ICS. It only reaches 100% when charger connected but will drop to 99% if removed. I guess, "It's not bug, it's a feature". You can try Battery Calibration if it never reaches 100%.
battery charge
My nexus S never charges over 96%. Then I found its a "feature". It is meant to prolong battery lifespan.
Stock internet explorer turns off by it self.

Please read up on LiPo batteries. It is working as intended. LiPo's are not meant to be ever fully charged.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_polymer_battery
People having problems with things shutting down, done a factory reset?
I know it's a huge pain, but the lag/stopping of programs I was having appears (so far) to have been solved by a wipe, and re-install of all my apps.

Ok, as a remote control hobbyist who uses lipos all the time, this is just not true. There is no reason why at a certain voltage (4.2 per lipo cell) that the TF should read 100%, this is not normal behavior..but 1% is a negligible drop in battery performance, but could only get worse.
My major bug I discovered- Do NOT use ANY LCD density apps, it will severely mess up you keyboard scaling while not affecting anything else, so I used another one and my launcher is FC'ing will not even boot into it. Time to factory restore..
Factory restore worked, did not even lose root access, but in the process discovered two things, one cool, the other not so much.
1: Asus task manager widget!!
2: tapping VERY quickly seems to be registered as a long press..try it on a widget, just tap it very fast, see if it lags up and then highlights as if it is ready to be dragged, the next tap on the screen will be seen as a drop. Apparently there are touch screen issues even within the official build..CONFIRMED.

I can't seem to duplicate this error.
Regarding the widgets, I'm not so sure that it's a bug. Now I hate to harp that drum but it's very consistent in the way it acts, and I've only found that behaviour with widgets specifically. In fact, the whole tablet runs like a bloody dream after the update, with touch reaction being one of the improved things. Regarding trouble with video in dice, I'm lucky to not have the same fate. Then again I've always been on stock.
Holy ****, I'm actually blown away. Swiftkey feels so much better now too, and there's absolutely no typing lag in chrome, which was the first thing I downloaded. Wow
EDIT:
But Chrome will never support Flash. Weh.
I as well am blown away.. Never going back to HC lol! ICS is just so smooth, and even with a couple quirks, better than HC
The quirks I see could possibly be with not having rebooted since install, so grain of salt with these please:
Slight lag when opening some programs that are not in memory
slight type lag if other things are going on (picky, I know)
bit of an install lag
Its damned good, but why oh why does the bloody GMail widget *STILL* not update/refresh properly?? i.e. what *should* happen is that new emails arrive, and the widget refreshes highlighting the new email in bold and showing an unread count..
Nope.. no dice.. seems to suffer from exactly the same behavior as the old Honeycomb widget, i.e. it updates some of the time at best (a force close on "Launcher" will cause it to refresh just as before).. In the grand scheme of things, this is small potatoes but it would've been nice if it just *worked*
In other news, the stock browser seems great and typing lag is definitely a thing of the past on forum sites like XDA

as far as email widget, do you have push notifications on for gmail?
panorama mode doesn't work with the new camera app, it just shows a black screen. Has anyone else experienced this ?
I also got a random reboot, which is new for me,, as HC never did that.
Another thing I've noticed: When I do a shutdown, I have to plug in power to get it to come bakc on. No amoutn of holding or pressing the power button will work without power applied.. Doesnt bode well for me, as it happened also on spark rom when I had it. Seem that i'm the only one with this issue :/
No sound of any kind system, media or otherwise. Silent mode is not on. Really weird. Had no problem with the tablet playing/making sounds prior to the ICS update.
Anybody dock since ics? Im not seeing my battery info for the dock in notifications, just that it is docked.
Some of the buttons(namely the settings button) dont work or dont work the same. Maybe there is suppose to be a firmware update? Is there away for it to force a check for an update of the docks firmware?

Yep, all enabled. As I said above, it works *sometimes* and always after you force close Launcher, but we shouldn't have to do that..
Had a look around, and irritatingly some people get the same problem and some don't so there's no conclusive answer
G+ keeps closing
I did not notice any sort of issue with dice and 720p mkv files. Should I be looking for something specific ? (These profiles are baseline as high causes artifacts under hc).
Well im having all the problems below :
1. Assistive light not working
2. Lagging in "click sound" when locking the
device.
3. Cant load sd card most of the time
My question is, wtf? And its annoying. Id rather go back to gingerbread anytime.

Does anybody know how to fix this issue?
ICS in Note
After upgrading to ICS via kies,
Battery seems to drain very fast.
Camera hangs up sometimes and other camera related apps like Instagram also but maybe the pic quality is little better.
It seems to crash when some other apps runs too.
Not sure if it was there before but I can pause music and video if I show my palm on the screen.
The screen rotates faster than in GB with a pause at the beginning though.
News fonts are good.
Window animations are good but still dont' know how to stop it since it might be draining battery fast.
Can use Chrome now and it's fast.
I cannot use Mass Storage Mode. I recieve a "Ui stopped to work" error.
I am facing,
1. High android OS usage. Sometime its higher than Brightness, and most of the time its highest usage of batt after brightness. (I read somewhere, it said its calculation errors, but I think its not, cause my battery no longer last that long.)
2. Camera will sometimes fail to operate. I really dunno what is wrong with that.
3. Phone just cant go into deep slp. Its being kept awake by some apps (Which I cant narrow it) Using BetterBatteryStats, I found out its I2_HSIC. (Whats this I2_HSIC ??)
I am using a 5400mAh mugen batt. previously on GB, my usage can last me 24hrs, now it can only last 16hrs or less. I installed lesser apps, and lesser widgets. Disable account sync and google backup. Settings more or less kept the same.
Overnight my batt can reduce by 21%, it never happened before. lol. ICS...

I have a bug I have not seen mentioned.
Occasionally, usually about 1 time per day, My phone display will start to flash, with random green and red colors. The screen I'm on, will flash those colors then star to shake and slide.
It looks like a television station not tuned quite right on an analog antenna (if anybody remembers that!)
I can't reproduce it regularly, but It think it has happened when going from an Application, back to the home screen using the home button.
I am on ICS, Taiwan, stock, not rooted.
Anybyody else seen this?

I faced this issue with stock ICS (rooted) .
I opened the browser to html5test.com , and the screen filled up with lines (similar to a TV noise) . Turning off did not seem to work, so i did a battery pull.
Unable to reproduce the problem so far!

I can get the screen back by just waiting it out. Usually takes about 2 minutes. I sure do wish I knew what was happening, though, so I could confirm no damage was being done.

As far as #2 goes, go to your battery stats and see if "media" is listed. If so, force close it and try again. Seems to work for me. I'm not sure if it is just me or not because I have been playing with settings lately, but the media scanner tends to run wild it seems (also seems to lend to battery drain).
I am just disappointed that they left out some of the nice features of ics like the updated gallery and camera. Seems kind of lazy to me and no wonder things arent working well if they are mix and matching gingerbread and ics rather than going all in and starting development from there. I would definitely go back to using one of the non tw ics roms if it weren't for the sod issues I was having...

Indian stock Rom:
- Battery life seems to be strange as sometime drain is too high and sometime i feel it's better then it was on GB. yet to track the exact pattern but in either case no wireless, no gps, no Bluetooth and Brightness @ 10%.
- opening contacts taking few seconds but now search on exchange server is well integrated.
-i have enabled 'face unlock' and sometime it will not respond at all so keep doing lock/unlock till get restored.
.......and I am unable to find s-note application, i tried under system/app as well but as don't know apk name not sure. can someone help pls.
me too
I also got that green bands screen you describe. I held down the lock button til the phone rebooted. I think I was using the Dolphin Browser at the time.

1. Poor battery.
2. Sync errors: calendar sync freezes up every once in a while
3. Brightness slider in notification bar gone, tasker can not effect change of brightness anymore, only choice is to keep automatic brightness on, otherwise blinded out in sun.
4. Contacts and phone apps show up in 5s or more to load: need to switch to those ugly dialers, no choice at all
5. No widgets menu in app drawer as in nexus ICS
6. Launchers freezing: tried both nova and apex: many a times the screen went blank for a few seconds after hitting home (didn't crash though)

Cupcake FTW!
I have a pretty minimal bunch of apps installed, and yet when I pull the notification shade down, there is lots of stutter, and seconds-long delay when I try and swipe a notification away. As I use the shade to manage my incoming notifications all day long, this is extremely frustrating on such a new phone.
Anyone else finding this? Any ideas?
Yes me too and it's typical Samsung. Going back to pixel.
I have weird lag on notification and facebook until I take out the accessibility service like enpass autofill. once i have done that, everything runs smoothly.
Same here - I did uninstall a bunch of game and other apps, and since then the problem has gone. Phew. Kinda annoying it's really difficult to pinpoint what app is causing the issue...

YES! Having the same issue with notification shade and also the multitasking view when flipping through apps. I can't figure out what's causing it. For me changing screen resolution fixes it every time until it starts happening again.
I don't have any accessibility services running so not sure that's it. Anybody have any ideas of culprits? I have quite a few apps installed but not sure what could be causing this issue
Same here.
No lag at all.
I wonder how many people experience these things have rooted or something?
I've not had any issues with my S8 since I've had it.
Very strange.
Everyone has different apps, data and usage. You could give me your phone and I would wipe and use it and it would lag. That's the reality
Same problem and same resolution : switching performance profile via edge pan
I just got an update on Verizon S8 - the red tint fix or whatever but so far this has fixed my stutter problem. I'm hoping it lasts but by now I would have seen stutter and it's still very smooth. Crossing my fingers
Bittersweetly glad to see others are having the same issue. I first noticed it when I upped the screen res from FHD to QWHD, so I switched back and that seemed to help for a few days. But, it did creep back. I performed a factory reset, but I don't think that's a permanent fix, either. Occasional reboots seem to stave it off, too. I would really like to get to the heart of the problem. FWIW, I'm on a Snapdragon S8+ on T-Mobile, unrooted. Outside this hiccup, really enjoying the phone.
anyone noticed that when you swipe up to the app drawer, there is a hint of stutter/lag? Thats the only annoying thing for me at the moment.. Everything else seems to be ok!!
If your phone is rooted and you have a custom kernel running, you can see why this happens. Install kernel auditor and drag down the status bar, you can see that the cpu goes up a bit. If you increase the minimum cpu (both big and little) to 1 value higher than what you saw when you dragged it down before then this should fix the issue however I assume it will affect battery life but not sure to how much, you'll have to do some testing.
