Hmmmmm has anyone loaded and tested ICS for UK three network ? i believe it was released today at 0600am and is available to download from samfirmware, however im unable to log in ?servers full .............
I would be gobsmacked if its the same as the first lpq release (buggy), which I am still using and has given me poor poor poor battery life 1.6 days of light use..... and yes i did a full wipe , ive never used titanium i always start as a completely new setup, rooted and removed bloat.
its crazy how all us peeps on here spend so much time researching upgrading flashing rooting customizing tweaking reinstalling deleting and for what .... because lets face it the bottom line is the galaxy s2 will never have great battery life because 1. its screen size and 2. its battery
All I want from samsung is a minimalistic stable rom with great battery life
I actually cant believe all the blurry videos i've took of my daughter growing up with the galaxy s2 and then ICS comes along and for the most part fixes it ..... its crazy how on earth was the phone first released with such poo video recording well at least its better now
OMG are you sure that is lpq?

I'm using 3uk ics now.downloaded from check fuz and installed via mobile odin . Running smooth . It is lpq, but I was on polish lpq before and didn't have ANY of the issues you mentioned, I was also getting 3 days battery out of it... Think you should check your setup.

Wait, 1.6 days is considered poor battery life now?
Some people need to wind their neck in and realise advancements in battery tech is slow due to engineers and innovators struggling with the laws of physics, so until we get mini fusion reactors in our smartphones we will have to consider 20-24 hours of normal use before it needs juice the norm. They don't have the luxury of the Ipads size (which is just basically a massive smartphone.) to whack in a massive battery.
Either that or just buy a Nokia 6310.....

LPQ has poor battery life compared to uk generic 2.3.4 ki4 official rom which gave me around 3 days light use with the exact same setup.
I know car batterys are different from phone batterys but the advanced technology is there for both ! it is just slowly trickled out in harmoney with other consumer giants to keep the economy and there bank balance happy. i.e the commercial technology groups said hdtv would be the highest resolution physically possible on a screen yet they have produced 4k tvs ! they have had the affordable technolgy released in the ipad 3 when they released the first ipad ....its all clever marketing slowly trickled out
here is a link to read about car batterys that will run the car without the need of fuel that last longer than the life of the car and that have been patented by the big oil corporations like texaco TO NOT BE COMMERCIALLY RELEASED

I got it running fine after a few issues with not being able to unzip it at first
It's noticeably smoother in general and some live wallpapers run with a better frame rate
Face unlocking works fine too
But God the 3 UK version is full of Bloatware so I may go back to my unbranded GB until they release a 4.0.3 version
I think Samsung are being lazy since this is XX but should be XW for the UK, anyway its a bag of sh1t and should never have been released on Kies, I guess the masses put them under pressure to release "something" and "something" we got.

I just checked it today hehe.
Information (I'll update as I find out more information):
ROM type: It's not a wipe rom as I installed over KIES. It left all my data as it was.
Install time: pretty fast, like any other ROM.
Speed of the phone: This build is FAST. I haven't had one slow down yet! For example, in whatsapp I've always had it load up and for every contact I have a picture. In my last build, I could see the list come up, but then every contact picture would load (and it took less than a second, but I could see the process go from no picture --> loading one by one, very quickly). Now they're all loaded instantly. No waiting. Applications start VERY fast, but I guess there is still some slowdown. Unlocking my phone is even faster than before. I believe the distance you have to drag (or maybe speed in which to move) has been reduced in turn reducing time to unlock.
Lag: OK. There's still some lag here and there. Overall I feel like it's faster. Hopefully more ROMs in the future will fix this.
Touch screen sensitivity:I find the screen sensitivity just fine. Very sensitive to be honest.
Battery life:will update after more usage
Update about battery life:
[Day 1 Statistics]
I had Endomondo on for an hour with GPS tracking / 3G / bluetooth wireless headset for music (55 minutes to be exact). A couple of phone calls as well for a total of maybe 35 minutes of phone calls (all over 3G). Wifi was on most of the day, as you can see. I've never had "awake time" this high before without having the screen on. I found that strange. I'll do a battery pull now, and hit the sack!

Something wrong with the keyboard. I use the T9 keyboard in portrait mode and now when it auto selects the next word, it does not get deleted if I type a new one.
Before it would show the word but if I pressed anything other than SPACE, the word would be replaced with the new one I am typing. Now it stays and my new word gets tacked on the end!!
I just changed to the qwerty keyboard and it seems to be related to the predict next word option. I have now disabled this for the present time. Rats!

which country is my phone from? CSC and PDA seems inconsistent to me and I am starting to suspect that is the problem behind the lack of OTA's for me or updates from KIES.
PDA:KK9 / PHONE:KK5 / CSC: KK2 (DAM)

NO, DBT only means free phone from Germany.
All of those who for example bought it from Amazon.de have this phone. It is absolutely free of carriers and customizations!!!
It has been said before but people keeps getting confused and confusing others!
It is very popular since it was one of the first places where it was early available.

thanks will try this update as a last shot. was about to return my phone to amazon.de in the morning. they dont have stock anymore so no chance of replacement and only can get refund as per amazon.de help line. their next stock is only expected after 1-2months apparently as told to me today. so stuffed unless this update sorts the issues with my phone. (crashing restarting, wallpapers changing to original on its own, some apps laggy, file browser very laggy, video player crashing almost all the time and unusable, screen freezing and restarting etc).
will try this update, hope it works as i like the phone otherwise and will buy a note from elsewhere but atleast 50-100£ more expensive now elsewhere including amazonuk now. dont bother ordering on amazon.de now as i was told today by them next stock not sure when and at least 1-2months away. anyone who bought from there cant get replacement now and only repair or refund. i had emailed for replacement but reply says refund. same confirmed on phone call. the first customer service ***** that i got on my international call hung up on me!!!! the second chap on my next call was helpful even though he couldnt do anything as no stock. was told after they get phone back and process it may take upto 4weeks for refund! same said on website. so no phone and no money either.
It feels faster to me as well. The touchscreen also seems more responsive. I play a lot of chess on my Note, and I can see a difference when I'm dragging pieces across the screen. Perfect for all those times I'm in time trouble.

btw..
updating right now..
I updated my first post to include some more findings.
So.. I'm sure some of you have seen me *****ing about my battery life. Well 2 days ago I moved back into my mothers. Where she lives, sprint is pretty weak. So for 3 days I've had basically 0 web access. No 4g at all and 1 bar of 3g. I thought this was normal. I had a job interview today at home depot and couldn't make a phone call for about 2 hours. Or send a message or even get 3g service. So I decided tto flash back to gingerbread tonsee of that helped. It did. I was able to make phone calls and messages and even have 3g service inside the home depot. Which I couldn't do with ICS installed. So unjust thought it was a tower being worked with. I just got home. And to my surprise I have a stable 3g connection. No longer do I have to walk out the door just to have 1 bar of 3g. Im sitting in my living room right now and I'm on Facebook, doing some web browsing and obviously posting on xda which was IMPOSSIBLE last night.
Google, there is something really wrong with ICS. Please.. for the love of god figure out why ICS has bad signal really reception compared to GB.

not sure what the exact background to all of this is, but did your radio change between the two ROMs?
Yes I did. I tried all 4. Switched kernels left and right. Flashed roms left and right and always got the same result. If I hop back on gbread my battery goes 16+ hours with great reception. ICS gives me horrendous battery life.

I pretty much agree with you, I had serious battery problem with my i9020t with ICS, battery would not last 6hours. Flashed GB and its all good and so much faster.
But either Google or Samsung isn't really prioritizing on these phones, which is sad given its not yet more than 2 years old. I hope this is not the case and they spend time sorting out ICS. So far ICS haven't amaze me in anyways though, I just want a light and fast OS with good battery, GB is doing that right now, not an overly expensive quadcore phone with poorer battery life and only marginally faster.

Haha I'm sorry man lol I didn't mean to say you, but I'm sure at some point some dolt will come in here and call me an idiot and tell me I'm doing something wrong. Sorry it seemed I was implying that. Anyhoo this might be the reason its taking so long for us to get our ota. I don't think half of you will notice it because of your sitting in a position with a good signal your phones wont struggle as much. But to me it "feels" like theres a -10 dbm deficit in signal strenth. Right now I'm at -96dbm and I have 3g access in my living room. Flash ics and the only way ill get an ounce of data is if I step outside. And even then I only get a measly 1x.

Did everyone go buy a Microsoft Winblows Surface or what?
I've had the 10.1 since day 1 in the US.I watched the "Development" and the "Original Development" forums start out slow then swell to huge numbers where there was a new ROM every day it seemed.I remember when JB came out and we all started out with Darkman's German release ( I stayed up most of the night hitting refresh as more and more people commented on the progress of their individual downloads to see who would be the first few to flash it) ...now it seems very quiet indeed . I dont think there has been a better tablet made yet than this one (as far as pure hardware stats go plus the s-pen) sure a few have higher stats in one area or the other but from my research I would say that 8013/8000/8010 are still King.Possibly with the exception of 8020.
Anyway Ive rambled long enough but if anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them.Again the question was.1)Has ayone else noticed a drop off in traffic in "Note 10.1 Original Android Development" & "Note 10.1 Android Development"?
2)Why do you think its happening?
Thank for reading.

Only device i have that is Fine stock
I would agree with some of the others above and some from other post in this forum. The note is one of the best most well thought out android devices. The only device i have ever owned that i have not played with the rom on. Thou Im considering the extra mutli rom app to add a few non muli view apps to mulit view.. But with that said more and more apps are becoming available for multi view.. Samsung has done well with the note no doubt..
Conclusion is.. There is less people in this forum because there are more people Happy with the Note and what it offers Stock. Rom dev has slowed because the note is great as is. Also i will add i think its a tougher device to mess with its Rom due to s-pen and the touch wiz

Erica Renee Loves her Note 10.1..... I will play with the roms and themes on my toy The nexus 7 .. I have 6 different roms multi booting on it ...

^ This.
I thought I'd hate TW, but other than rooting it (and upgrading the kernel out of habit 'cause that's what I do for a living anyway) I run a Stock ROM.
more updates will come and new ROM will be made .. 4.1.2 has been out for a while and 4.2 should be coming soon.. also not many things wrong with note on stock and cm based ROM is not taking advantage of the note full features.. Maybe Google will add some of Samsung features in android 5.0..
Just read last night that the note 10.1 has only about 3% of android tablet market share. I was surprised it was so low. Maybe that's why there isn't a lot of activity.

The price point is too high for the note 19.1or 8 to get much market share. Samsung is rolling in the dough because of carrier subsidies of their high end phones. If those end, they're going to have to make adjustments to their pricing or they stand to see their market share fall.

Let's hope Samsung can unbreak JB 4.2. Nexus device owners are reporting in the Google Code forums that BT remains broken in the latest iteration of 4.2. Audio BT seems completely broken (including in auto BT systems) while other BT devices may connect but then shut down, requiring a device reboot. Merging Android into Chrome doesn't bode well, which seems to be the direction Google is going as evidenced by the shift of Android to the manager of Chrome.

Looks like the results are based on devices that install their app. Not really an accurate gauge imo
I used to frequent the Asus Transformer forums a lot because I was going crazy with installing different roms and doing whatever I can to the device. With the Note, I actually use it for pretty well-defined purposes and so I haven't really had any inclination to change it in any way since it's already so damned useful. I mean, once I got the multiwindow to work for all apps, I didn't need any additional customizing so I only occasionally glance at these forums. :/ The troubles of being so good.

That's pretty much true. The N7100 forum is pretty quiet too. Want to see a ghost town, go check out the TF700 forum. The Note 10.1's nine months old which, in the tech world, means not so fresh anymore. I still wouldn't trade mine for anything. So, no news is good news. Samsung's been pushing features of their newer devices down via updates so 4.2 with some of the SGS4's stuff should give us something to talk about.
Just curious how many people still actually have a xperia play and what model.
Mine is the hdmi tp model whats yours. Also what do you typically play on it. Custom rom? OC'D?

I actually bought my Xperia Play last year. I have the Verizon R800x variant and it's been a great device for gaming (that's all I use it for). I'm currently just running stock rooted 2.3.4 GB with CWM recovery because I've found that this setup gives me the best performance for gaming. I've tried a few different ROMS and tried Turbo, Lupus and Doom kernels, but keep coming back to stock GB because it seems to perform best for me.
Mine is VERIZON R800X, rooted, unlocked Bootloader
Had it since launch day and still using it as phone and gaming combo. Was just recently, yesterday, running Slmbean JB OC'ed at 1305 for a couple months. Started having some issues with battery drain and some other issues, so I fugured GB was the way to go. Currently running Gin2Blur 2.3.3 custom rom, rooted, OC at 1305. Plan to flash Adreno Booster.
Still have r800i. Not as main phone, but as time killer when needed (Lumia 630 is my main dial/sms/web browser phone)
Flashed to infinity and beyond with roms and kernels
Still alive, two flex cable and 3 batteries replaced
Beside, i still didn't win in Collin McRae 2 championatship in expert mode, Still have to check compatibility of FF7 in final fight, and FF8 is still on disk1. I'll check that when i finish Spyro3 all working nicely in PSXperia (fpse tends to lag on stock speed)
Fixed my screen a few weeks ago(R800i). Haven't used it in years

Do you have working touchpads, without the frame dip?
Still at it. Aftermathematics.
Just as obsessed with my PLAY as I was on that sweet night of June 2012.
Opened this legend 4 times for changes:
one for orange housing,
One for flex cable
One for earpiece replacement and digetiser( may fault, damaged cable when changing housing )
And one to make it white again. Obsessive, I know. But I've never been this close to any of my devices before. Still (not so) active on fourms, running gin2kitkat, and as game often as I can. Still a hell of a surprise to people when I slide out that sexy, sexy gamepad. ( just last week some dude asked me wtf is this amazballs thing. Thought it was a PSP go unroll he saw me calling someone)
Even in 2014, this Phoenix copes really well with newer apps, but not that well with newer triple A titles.
But emulators? OMFG. Works sooo guud. Goddamit I'm tearing up.
11/10 would buy again.

will be officially be posted by Mike himself soon now. for all the Legacy Xperia Devices.
I still have this phone. For almost year I was using S4 Zoom and since December I returned to Xperia Play and I'm using it as my normal phone and console. I really love it and I don't see any possibility for changing a phone (I need phone with gamepad ). My play is from april 2011 (second Xperia Play in Poland - won in competition ). I so loved this phone. I'm working on best ICS ROM from Krisdee - but I'm looking for good JB ROM (KitKat and Lollipop still have so many bugs).

Had mine for 3 years since last month when touch screen stop working and I don't really know the problem :silly: , so it will be resting for a few months
After wanting one for years, I finally got one during Christmas last year, (Had a Lumia 610 before it, yay upgrade) so I can't see myself upgrading any time soon. Recently, I got another one to fiddle around with the experimental Lollipop roms. Flippin' the pad out on the train and watching people become confused is glorious. And the "I haven't seen a Sony Ericsson phone in years!" comments always crack me up.
Best phone I've ever had and probably will.
@TheVicious no friggin way. Thats amazing.
I never won in my life anything except this .
Hello LG G5 users , feel free to talk here about anything related to the LG G5 :good:
Thread Rules
1. Respect the others
2. This is an LG G5 thread , do not talk about any other LG phone here.
3. Use appropriate langage.
4. And of course , respect xda rules.
So what do you think about this LG phone ?
Hi guys , thread opened thanks to @KennyG123 , now that the G5 is out and available for sale feel free to share your experience in this discussion thread.
I will update it later with infos , reviews , battery tests..etc.
Enjoy
This is my first impression of the G5 and I'm sure once the stock and custom roms start rolling out I will have a much better experience with my phone. I picked up my new LG G5 a hour ago from my local Sprint retailer and I have already run into a few problems that kind of bother me about the phone. I switched from my Nexus 6 to this phone and I would have to say I do enjoy the feel of the phone and the fact of it being smaller and easier to hold. This is the only good thing I have really noticed about the phone so far though. The volume rocker on the left side of the phone seems very strange and would be much more ergonomic with it remaining on the back or on the right side to be easily accessible with the thumb. The G5 does not have an app drawer with the current software even though there were leaks saying that they were actually going to end up adding the app drawer for this phone. The software seems as if it went for a more Apple style design with a more vivid color scheme. I ended up looking through some of the apps and there are advertisements in the voicemail app which just seems wrong. I have already ran into a bug which should be expected with any new release of a phone of course and this bug happens when I double tap on a notification on the lock screen it locks the screen instead of opening the application which I really hope wasn't the intended purpose. So far the phone isn't as great as I expected it to be.
@CorruptProfile Thank you very much sir for this first well detailed feedback.
How about other things like the camera , performance ( if you tried any intensive game ) ? Is it buttery smooth or LG 5.0 UX suffer from lags ?

Look at 2:19
I only really play Clash of Clans as far as game intensive on my phone and it ran very smoothly for the little bit that I was on it. The camera is far superior to any phone I have had in the past and the quality is great. The option for the regular launcher with an app drawer does not exist on my device which is no problem since I do not like the launcher in general and the Google Now Launcher is far superior to LG's. The biggest problem I have started to see with the device now is the fact the battery is weak as can be. I'm not sure if there isn't enough data collected yet to give an accurate estimate on how long the battery will last. I took the first screenshot of the battery usage before I used any high usage applications and it already was showing that my phone would last an hour and 47 minutes when it was at 41%. I would add screenshots to this but, I don't have over 10 posts yet so that isn't possible so I sent them to @Soufiansky so he can post them instead.

What about the module thing ? I saw a lot of issues about it these days
Sent from my GT-P5100 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I don't own a module and I don't really see the purpose of owning one to be completely honest. It's basically just buying add-ons if you prefer having them or not. I enjoy having the naked look of a sleek looking phone without having a bunch of stuff all over it. It really comes down to the person if they want the parts or not and personally I don't the parts won't make the phone any worse and if the modules really just fail then it won't have any overall effect on the performance of the phone itself.
