improvement and complaint aftet ics 4.03 rom - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

hello guys please lets discus improvement after updating firmware. from my side what i fell is
1. Improved music quality. before on poweramp music player at full bas it uses to give distorted sound now no such issue great quality
2. Web browser improves now.
3.little fast
COMPLAINTS
1.battery drains very fast now
2.gps accuracy is now 80 ms area
3. Some games not working

Good stuff
- better performance
- features more accessible, cleanly arranged, better notfications ( with thumbnails and all that )
Bad stuff
- The slide to adjust brightness feature is gone ( when not using auto brightness )
- I had this font call 'cool jazz' which was really good, which is gone too! any pointers to get it back?

Agree that the sound quality is a lot better than GB. (using N7 and the stock player, also xpiano sounded distorted on GB, but is fine on ICS)
USB OTG support for midi
Ctrl key on external keyboard works
Faster UI
The only bad thing for me is the kernel bug. I have a 3.5GB ubuntu image that I want to delete but am afraid to do so...

My calendar (S Planner) works fine. I don;t use the local calendar, only Google calendar.
When I first flashed LPF from LPY I couldn't create any tasks in S Planner.
I tried clearing the cache and clearing the S Planner data, but still no good.
I ended up doing a factory reset and TB restore (without restoring S Planner), and everything worked OK.
I think when I restored S Planner the first time from TB, something must have gotten messed up.
HTH,
Rich

it does feel a lot faster, but that could be cos i did a full wipe :S

ICS Camera > Anti-Shake under option is greyed out, I don't know if it's turned on as default or not.

ICS People App and Full Screen Caller app is missing from ICS. Why Samsung, why?

well i too have anti shake feature in indian ics version

also i would like to mention ics is eating lots of ram even though very less applications are opened ram raises to 600 mb

The banding issue seems to be worse off on this ROM. The previous GB version was ok for me.

But in my case color banding issue has been approved blacks are more black.

To send/receive MMS now requires Data Packet to be enabled where there is no such issue in Gingerbread.
Default Email application is now missing the Folder combobox and is now only available through Menu.
When a Hotmail email account is added, read email even though marked as read is not reflected on Hotmail server. However email account to Microsoft Exchange Server works fine. As a note, when Hotmail account is added, it is added using Exchange Activesync protocol, thus the same as Microsoft Exchange Server account.
Device failing to go deep sleep after connecting via OTG to USB storage remains.

My SGN is LP9 and is definitely greyed out. Am I missing something
Edit: Now I know why anti-shake was greyed out, it will be selectable if ISO set to Auto ISO.

Exchange Active Sync - NOT WORKING
Please Google or someone help find a solution to this. Updated to ICS but Active Sync does not load up my emails, even tried deleting the emails and set up again but its not working.
I've reverted to POP instead and it works but its loading my OLD emails from 2008. It will take ages to load my current ones 2012 (shouldn't it be loading the NEW ones first instead of old ? weird !! )

I am running exchange with no issues, have you setup pin security? exchange will only work with that. My exchange server is 2010.
I have zero issues with my note, I am not saying I have a perfect phone, but with the programs that I use it is running perfect.
I am running stock, I used ever root when I flashed from gb using mobile Odin pro.
I used absolute system tool program to delete 25 programs that I did not need.
I have no deep sleep issues, I unplug at 8 am 12 hours later I have used the screen 3 hours plus, with brightness set at 10% I would still have 40% battery left.

CaptJager vanilla rom ?

Does anyone have the new 1.6.2 version installed ?
Says it comes with handScent SMS and k9 mail.....but what I want to know is, does it also have the stock android SMS and mail apps also ? In case I didn't want to Use a third party app.
Actually.. I tried the both unrevolved and the captjager (senseless) roms, while they don't have the sense ui, they still have all of htc apps. So its kinda of pointless IMHO.. I can disable the senseui with the HTC build.
If you want pure vanilla the Cyanogenmod is the only one that I know of. I am running this one and it has its own bugs unfortunately. But it is really fast I must say. The biggest bug that I notice is some screen tearing.
I'm also currently running the CM test ROM. While I love the speed, and my battery was amazing on day 1 (only light usage, but i only drained 15-20% all day yesterday on my 1500mah battery)....I want something with a few less bugs for now. Thinking of running one of these other ROMS until the full vanilla (hopefully FroYo) gets a little better.

Handscent uses the stock SMS app to send MMS so it would have to have the stock SMS app

why does facebook have sync problems( i.e with contacts)
I think its because its still based on the HTC sense rom witch syncs facebook with friendstreem.apk, not the android facebook app. If you go to options in the android facebook app the contact sync options arent there. If you push the friendstreem.apk (you can leave the widget off) back onto the phone it should sync facebook again.
I installed this rom and thought it was okay then i flashed the non-oc undervolt kernel (w/o n wifi) and my phone hasent been better. Surprisingly it made a huge difference. Im still using jagers vanilla rom of course

Changes in Update 3.2

Hey guys,
So I recieved the new 3.2 update today on my US Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 and there's a few changes that I have already noticed:
1. Samsumg removed the bouncy effect (similar to the one the was in Apple devices) that was in the browser, settings menu, Android Market, and anything that scrolled and has replaced the effect with the normal Android effect of a blue highlight that gets bigger as you try to scroll more at the end of the page (Possibly has to do with Samsung vs. Apple court case?)
2. Now when you're watching a video on youtbe and using full screen the bottom bar is fully gone and there isn't that random line that was there before !
3. The menu button looks a bit different in the Android Market and Youtube app, almost bolded or popped out (no new Android market btw. It's the same old one so we still don't have access to the music store from the Android Market).
4. Now when you click on a contact icon, when the list of all possible things of contacting them (Google Voice, Google Maps for directions, Gmail, Twitter, etc) shows up entirely and you don't have to scroll left and right).
5. QuickOffice HD seems to have been updated (but not to the newest 5.0 version that is on the Android Market). The icon has also changed and now it says "Pro" and "HD" on it (which is what the Android Market version icon is like)
6. Browser seems a bit faster but I'm not sure about that. And the tablet in general feels overall faster.
Anything else that you guys have noticed? (Besides the button that changes app screen sizes that normally comes with 3.2)
Aboutebug settings changes now seems to stick.
all share is available.
Web browser seems alot snappier. App drawer and pages scroll smoother aswell.
Good morning all!
I'm glad that you got the update on your Tabs. Can I ask you what the better if I fill up its batteries and then update it, or if I plug it in and until filling up I'm updating? Did you notice any problems while updating? Is this update deleted anything from your device? Or everything stayed the same?
There's a little icon next to the clock to turn an app into full screen
This update was for the WIFI version only right?
Allshare is present now
does the screen shout button function can be changed? , like in galaxy tab 7.7 its function can be changed and also the mini apps can be edited or even removed in the 7.7 ?
how is there no updated market YET??
The browser definitely is faster.
Has anyone had issues with home screen auto rotate lag? I updated to 3.2 and it now takes 2 - 3 seconds to rotate. With 3.1 it was almost instantaneous. I also tried the widespread fix by long pressing the home screen and choosing a section other than add widget with no results. This is very frustrating.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Yes, it is especially noticeable when you turn your tab 180 degrees in one motion. ( top becomes bottom)
OK, so I decided to change my wallpaper from a static image to a live wallpaper and the rotation improved immensely. That is so counter-intuitive, but see if you can re-create it.

The Market update comes with Android 3.2.1.
I just noticed that Swipe is present after 3.2 update. Was it present before 3.2?

Yes. It was present in the Touchwiz 3.1 update
Dice player compatibility, anyone? 3.2 wifi user reported diceplayer broke in this ver. I'm on 3.2 3g and it fixed video playback with diceplayer. I was having issues with 3.1 previously.
Id like to add.
Previously on 3.1, 180 degrees rotate will make a 90 + 90 rotation
With 3.2,it fades out and inverts the screen, and fades back in.
Hope this information is useful.
Agreed with all of the above.
However, I get a lot of gapps Force Closes. Can anyone suggest anything besides a full wipe?

My First impressions with KP8

First of all this is for the noobs, like me, Devs or smart users stay outta this
Below are/were my impressions after playing with KP8 for 45+ minutes,
• Hell of a lot better than previous build, KP1. Yes, I will call it a Beta, finally
• Phone calls were good, in ear volume was good and loud enough for me.
• Vibration intensity is FINALLY back to normal, unlike KP1 where it was so faint that you could barely feel it.
• Ringtone volume is normal.
• Incoming call UI is same as before and the Reject and Answer button doesn't animate while sliding. (Beta)
• Phone signal is rock solid and stable.
• 3G does work, Wi-Fi too.
• Noise Cancellation feature is FINALLY here, you can turn it off/on manually. It was presented in the previous build too.
• Stock broswer is brilliant, smooth as hell, no lag of whatsoever while Auto fit enabled. Lot of customisation options are there too, like font size, invert colors, Desktop view, Bandwith management, Offline reading etc... Flash plugins worked well too, make sure you download the latest Flash Player.
Sad part keeps remaining, no EXIT option
• Contacts have more options to display, attached screenshot.
• Stock GMail app is upgraded, same like KP1, no multi touch/pinch to zoom.
• Stock Email app is kinda weird, all black background, maybe there is a way to change it, didn't have time.
• Clock, Calender, Gallery, Maps, Calculator, Task, Memo (new icon), Mini diary, Voice Recorder, FM Radio, My Files, Voice recorder everything are same as in GB, so no, Sammy won't update those thing in TW for ICS, maybe.
• ICS Lockscreen is weird, doesn't work well.
• Camera works completely well, every settings work, same goes for 1080P Video recording.
• Task Manager is ICS style, slide left to close an app, cool.
• LWP does work, however there are some lags.
• 480X800 Wallpapers DOESN'T fit in desktop! Same like KP1. Should and will be fixed.
• Market works perfectly fine, downloading app works good too.
• No Swype, not that I expected.
• All the network based options were there, including APN's.
• GPS is fine, got lock in indoors!
• YouTube app works perfectly fine, some new options were added.
• Stock video player somehow played 1080P file, it was not watchable for me. Audio was intact on the other hand.
• Music player is SAME.
• Had 3 FC's so far, once system also froze.
• The smoothness allover UI is pretty fine, HW acceleration is definitely there, I like the elastic type scrolling, however it need more polishing, undoubtedly.
• Overscroll glow is reduced somewhat, with ICS color instead of blue. I still hate it anyway.
• Stock fonts worked. Not in Browser and other places though.
• Connection with PC worked.
• Unread SMS icon changed in LS, (I don't like it) and there is NO missed call notification icon in LS!
••• What am I doing? Of course I am going back to my Nandroid backup , no way this was a daily ROM for me.
If I remember anymore I'll update, feeling sleepy.
Attaching some screenshots.
Regards.
Nice list. I think that we've reached the point where we should stop talking about what works, but rather about what does not yet.

Live Wallpaper
I found the whole thing to be somewhat unresponsive and the lack of proper SD card support was killer for me.
- Then there was Samsung's firmware update notification that failed when I tried to accept the terms and would not go away.
- Certain apps like gmail would crash and the hole phone would become unstable.
- Overheating problems
- Lockscreen is buggy
Needed a small help. In case, any one of you is going to revert to a more stable ROM, can someone check whether this mod for skipping music when screen off works before doing so?

N5100 - 4.1.2 -> 4.22 : Findings What's New/Changed.

************ As of August 23 2013 I have reverted and downgraded my version back to 4.1.2 ***************************
Battery Drain and S-pen issues just kiiled all the fun.
Building a list of changes / updates I have noticed as to what i see as new after updating from 4.1.2. (i.e before i get used to it and forget what it was like).
A lot of you with other devices might already be familiar with changes,but hope it helps who only have this as their primary device.
If anyone has any of their findings to share i'd be glad to add to this list.
*** Major or Generic Changes (most should be aware of these):
1. App to SD Option available. (right now my 64 GB External SD is already full, so haven't tested it fully, but it worked for some and was unable to move on a few.)
2. Different Lock Screen with editable widget region. and an additional effect instead only the ripple as in previous.
3. Gone are those special home screens what you would get for your accessories (or hidden as I could not find them). Like taking out s-pen or plugging in a headphone. (seems like the notification bar shows those recommended shortcuts now)
4. Different & kinda new notification & toggles menu system.
5. Adapt Display Option Added to Screen Mode (Settings > Display >Screen Mode). This is default now. My prior setting used to be movie.
6. DayDream: Seems like a Customizable ScreenSaver, however I haven't been able to preview or activate it yet. (any tips when/how it launches).
7. A Bit louder audio comparatively on headphones. I cannot confirm this or if anything changed at all, but i feel my earphones a bit louder now at full.
8: S-pen : Noticing a tiny bit of offset (note: tiny like perhaps 0.1 mm - 0.2 mm towards top right (1 'o'clock).
****** Confirmed *****
9: Little bit different text rendering (perhaps a new engine). The Make text legible (enhance) option makes much more pronounced difference as compared to before. Everything is a more Darker and more anti aliased. Might take a day or 2 getting used to. Tried few Pdf's and CBR(comics) I feel them a bit different (little muddy, or as said above needs eyes to adjust).
10: Responsiveness seems fine.
9 ****** There is a new travel wallpaper slide show setting in lock screen wallpapers © pakure
*** App Specific Changes
1: The accuweather widget (default on 4.1.2) is gone.
2. Gallery : A New Layout and structure. (New Look) any new features ? remains to be seen.
3: Stock Music Player: A bit different Look and feel (perhaps a global touchwiz update)
3.1: Smart Volume option : Adjusts All tracks to similar volume level. Nice.
3.2: Tube Amp Effect added to Sound Alive. Although Audio purists would likely have everything disabled, I am kinda liking this on earphones. It has a bit of fullness to it.
I am not sure if they are adding any tube saturation/ additional Harmonics to make it should warmer, but sound has more of a glued together feel to it (as opposed to expanded/ wide).
3.3: Song Info can be edited after going into details.(I am not certain if it was already there in previous, however it looks more noticeable and prominent now.)
4: Stock Video Player: Again a bit different look and layout.
4.1: The video Color Settings option is gone. (In Older version you could choose amongst normal, cool , and warm setting) (my preference being warm) but perhaps, the Global Screen mode settings takes care of that.
4.2: Some of the videos failed to play (I think I was able to play them before on stock player). Might be due to different codecs per regional release.
4.3: Option for Outdoor visibility is gone from video settings. (not that I cared for it any bit)
*** UPDATE **** 15 August 2013
4.4 : Definitely Sharper videos (sd content) in stock video player ( as compared to mx player) as well as videos have more solid blacks than 4.1.2 firmware.
5: Few New apps (Might be that I have access to them now because of a different region Generic firmware) : Video Hub and Music Hub and their integration with Stock players.
watch-on and few other apps (video hub) don't work as likely my region is not currently supported.
*** Old Issues Findings/Reports
1: Screen Freeze : I did not have that issue in the previous firmware and I don't have that issue in current. Others might like to add.
2: Battery used to jump from 96% or 98% to 100% : Needs further testing/ long runs. (my tablet is mostly on AC anyway).
*************** More Additions/Revisions will Come as Discovered.
**************************************************
Confirmed / Verified Issues
**************************************************
01: Alarm does not ring if you have a magnetic smart cover on. : RESOLVED as of 10/10/2013 Firmware Update : N5100DDCMI2
02: S-Pen Offset : RESOLVED as of 10/10/2013 Firmware Update : N5100DDCMI2
03: Unable to Wipe Cache Partition from System Recovery : After the progress bar it gives the error message and reboots. (if anyone got tips. please share)
04: No editable lock screen shortcuts : RESOLVED In Earlier Firmware Updates.

Yes, my version of flash player is 11 and it's working with stock browser. Though stability is a bit dicey it seemsand more often that not is crashing.
On further tests i would say, stock browser does not like flash anymore. Firefox still plays ball.
My Note used to freeze all the time, especially using whats app. with 4.22 it hasn't frozen once.
not sure i like the new darker over rich colours.
battery seems to be draining more, but not 100% sure
On my N5100 I have an issue with alarm after update. There is no alarm when smart cover is closed.
I've checked it several times.
Does anyone have the same problem?

Is SAMSUNG LINK working for anyone? I tried it just once on PC+S4(works fine) + NOTE8 - but note8 refuse to connect. Tried lots of things to do, clean data. removed and readded Samsung account but no luck at all. Other things working fine - like GroupPlay with S4...Altough will probably never use them but wanted to try it just once.

Go to app manager and for Samsung link uninstall the updates.
then launch samsung link (factory version it reverts to). Update it again when it asks you to from samsung app store. that should likely fix for you as did for me.

Mine Is Un-Rooted, and always has been factory Stock. (never ever rooted in past either).
I can't use that app without root, and i don;t think i can check into system/app unless i am rooted either.
however the wdiget went missing from homescreen and is nowhere to be found is app drawer widgets.
Personally weather widgets don;t matter to me but the s-pen issue does. Now I could just open the pen up and calibrate it (physically) but feel it's samsung who needs to fix this up along with few other things.
btw what is the procedure (if any) to revert to previous version.
Well the widget is just an APK. So you are correct in that it doesn't matter.
Not sure what you mean by revert to previous version?
If you want to flash back to 4.1.2. You need to use ODIN. Put your device into download mode and flash the correct 4.1.2 firmware for your device from sammobile. (Make sure you have the correct CSC for your region)
Apparently all the Spen app does is change a setting from right hand mode to left hand mode then back to right hand mode... and vice versa.
Just offering you some solutions because Samsung solutions will take some time if they come at all.

Thanks,
My S-pen offset is not so troublesome as it's off by just a little, (unlikely but it could also be that different regions releases have different offset compensation built into them).
I don't know much about csc or anything but if I download the sammobile official firmware release for my region (INU) india (4.1.2), would that be all it would take to downgrade from 4.2.2?
Yes granted your device was originally from india. You could flash any of them but you want to flash the one for your region so that all carrier bloatware and carrier based services work.

BUGS thread. 4.4 Only (KRT16O & KRT16S)

So, i made this thread so we can discuss about bugs or even solving them, this applies only for 4.4 only
NOTE: SOME APPS MIGHT CRASH WHILE USING ART BYTECODE, DONT WORRY IT'S NOT A BUG (ART STILL A BETA FEATURE)
here's the strangest bug i have found:
Strangest bug
NO, seriously, these are some of the bugs i have found:
1- You can open as many times as you want the 4.4 easter egg, it depends on how fast you tap. i managed to open it 3 times at the same time.
2- screen recording just works in portrait (not external apps, the native screen recording) using the PC ADB or the Nexus 7 multi tool, it also does not support our resolution.
3- Wi-Fi optimization might disconnect the internet
4- Wi-Fi randomly disconnects (atleast for me)
5- Adobe flash totally uncompatible in KitKat independently of the Browser
6- 3rd Party Battery monitors seem not to work
7- Galley or G.Photos app miss Crop function
8- Album not visible in lockscreen when playing a song from Play Music (size bug)

Can this be considered a bug? Chrome and Next browser icons overlaping google search bar.

Battery monitor apps are broken due to interface changes
Flash is broken in browsers that used to support it (Puffin doesn't count - it's a server-side implementation).

Perhaps not bugs as you're looking for - any 3rd party battery monitor, wakelock monitor, etc no longer work because Google change the interface to the necessary services. Flash worked under 4.3 in browsers such as Dolphin but no longer does Google changed the underlying engine.
Bluetooth 4.4 bug
All in all, bluetooth has gotten dramatically better, with keyboards/mice etc. One exception is the BT audio is at full volume and not controllable via n7 2013 only on my UE Boombox. The newest OTA does not fix. Other BT speakers are controlled normally, and this is a nuisance.

From BetterBatteryStats dev on Google store:
* BetterBatteryStats does currently not work with KitKat. Google has made some changes breaking the access to the stats BBS (and other tools) are using. We are working hard on finding a solution but the fix isn't trivial. Please be patient*
Doesn't work for me, GSAM Battery Monitor closes immediately ...

Anyone else missing screen time in settings/battery/

Okay, so... I turned the brightness all the way up and back down and... Success.

There is no crop function when adding a wallpaper from Photos or Gallery anymore. This makes it impossible to center a wallpaper.
Lock screen sometimes doesn't show album art from Play Music, despite Play Music itself displaying it without issue.
Apps not working with ART is hardly a bug...

it is for us, we paid for something we need to have it working correctly,. they must do all the impossible thing to make this work fine.
i will be updating OP with the recent bugs added here.

ART is a OS update that is fundamentally different at it's base... It's an OPTION, Dalvik is still there for us to use. How is it the onus of Android to provide compatibility for every single app in the Play Store? The fact that quite a few apps DO work with ART just points to the fact that some devs have not kept up with code changes introduced by Google.
Problem with wifi.
Wifi doesn't reconnect after turn display on after deepsleep.
Only a restart helps.
I have flash manually for 2 times

ART still isn't ready for prime time, Google knows this, that's why it's hidden under developer options

ART is not a feature of KitKat.
It is a beta implementation included for developers to test it. (therefore hidden in the developer options)
If you enable it you have to live with the instability.
And no you haven't payed anything for the update.
