[Q] ICS is crashing - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Hello. I am new having just bought a Galaxy Note. ICS was released in New Zealand yesterday and I Installed it. Now the live wallpaper picker is crashing the phone leaving me with a blank screen and message saying the live wall paper picker is not working. How do I fix this please? How to I roll back to Gingerbread, or reinstal ICS?

I too have installed ics on my device and now m facing lots of problems. Just to start with my WHATSApp is not loading contacts.
It takes time to open camera.
Phone stops responding while reading emails.
Keyboard input problems
Please some one do help us.
Is there any way to again go back to my 2.3.6.
One mo thing face detection and other features are disabled by Samsung in his ics update.

You would have to use PC Odin to roll back to stock Gingerbread. Look up Drketan's thread in Android Development (it's stickied). It will give you step by step details.

I had the same problems too....but did a soft reset....now is crashing much less

ICS is smoother than GB on my note.
Experienced same issues like yours. But after Factory reset /data wipe everything is running fine...
Sharing My experience only... I AM NOT RECOMMENDING IT.

Problem fixed
I did a hard reset on the phone which made no difference. I also did a soft reset which also did not help. So I uninstalled all of the live wallpapers which fixed the problem. I have reinstalled a few but not nearly as many as I originally had. All is well now. I guess some of the free LWP were a bit flakey? However, the problem only appeared under ICS, and my wife's identical phone has many more installed but still running GB. She has no problems at all, and so far is refusing to upgrade to ICS.

After upgrade to ISC..I do factory reset first..its reduce the laggy.. .. now my device work fine. ISC > GB now.

I think by using Titanium back up to disable programs helps to free up a lot of memory which makes it not laggy

Display problem with Netflix 1.4+

Greetings. I have a Motorola Xoom and when I run Netflix, the first time it looks fine. After that, When I run it again, the Netflix menu looks huge and I cannot really navigate around it. The only way to fix the problem is to either clear the Netflix cache and data every time before I use it (requiring me to log back in each time), or installing version 1.3 (which then annoyingly prompts me to upgrade every time I launch it).
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?
Nobody else has this problem? Really?
I run Netflix on Xoom quite often but I don't have the problems you describe. My issues are usually with the app locking up and needing to force close it and restart. It was definitely running much better in the older versions.
I have the exact same problem, but I can't solve it even if I clear the cache. It's somehow showing the "stretched" phone UI instead the tablet UI. It's just unusable now.
Same problem here.....it went away for awhile, but it is back. Even tried facotry reset, didn't work.
I was able to install an HD version on Xoom running ics ROM

May fix your problem but I doubt it. This should just change the buffering.
I had netflix issues too with honeycomb. It wouldn't even load to even log in.
Flashing the EOS nightly ICS rom fixed it.
What I did is uninstall find version 1.3 install that and visit the market it sees the old version and updates it.
Working fine now.
I have 1.3 if you need it I think but its the one found in xda forums

I just updated from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 and differences are big, but some problems stayed, like slow WiFi, notification light not working, camera seems lower quality than on GB... And, the thing I hate the most about new update is that I can't root my phone! I'm thinking about flashing if some other method doesn't show up...
@Lancerfq
Did you flashed your phone or you updated with PC Companion?
Make sure to do a pc companionship repair after you update. This will make the phone work properly. The only thing bad about ics is the stuttering camera recorder. You can fix this with stabilizer off. I wasnt paying much attention to this while on gb so can't say if it was any different.
Oh and no root yet, that's about it.

[Q] (Q) Where is my problem originating?

I am having difficulty deciding where problems in my N7 originate.
I have been running Clean rom which seemed to be working fine except I couldn't get the tablet mode to work. I re-installed the latest version and was careful this time to select 'Tablet mode'. Everything was fine.
a day or two later I upgraded the launcher to Nova Prime and installed it mainly to support the developer and it worked fine as well.
Next a day later I upgraded Franco's kernel to R17 and things were fine till yesterday again a couple of days but then the label under my apps started to disappear occasionally. Since then Text+ and MX player have quit. I tried to re-install both but got an error saying insufficient storage although I actually have tons of space.
These problems did not happen right away after making a change, so now I need help in pinning down my issue, is it the kernel, the loader, or the rom?
I really enjoy trying out new things on this wonderful tablet and any help would be appreciated.

[Q] S5 crashes

Good morning android experts
I have recently bought my s5 model Sm-G900F)
The phone has an issue which it randomly crashes and auto restart it was happening alot but after I searched many forums what i did to the phone was trying hard format,installing latest firmwares (i did that alot) i even installed CM11 for the phone and it still did keep crashing randomly and auto restart but after the firmwares it was fewer it crashes about 10 times a day now which is something really bothering me especially when you buy a last model phone and it is still new and does that you get frustrated i know have installed back the latest firmware of samsung back because CM didnt stop the issue plus that on CM there is no use of the finger print scanner and i tried uninstalling and disabling the bloatware apps
And an another issue is that there are many applications which when they start the instantly crash the phone like trix (card game by mayslawrd) and hitman go (the game)
Please i need some help because i am really frasturated and i am starting losing hope that it is a software issue on the bright side i am waiting for the lolipop update maybe the device will stop crashing
Please i need some help i am really getting hopeless.

[Q] Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H browsers

Hi, i have a problem with my galaxy grand prime 4.4.4 SM-G530H no rooted and brand new, I bought it a month ago and everything was great until like a week ago chrome started to freeze the whole phone and even Firefox, both lags, freezes and crashes and make the phone freeze too, if I don't use the browsers the phone its normal. I uninstalled and installed again, delete data, cache and everything that gets in my mind and I dont know why this is happening. The stock browser works a little better but still slow. I don't know what to do please help.
You may try a factory reset and setup the phone as a new device (no syncing from previous device)

Have you installed a bunch of applications? Too many apps may eat up the device's RAM and cause lagging, how many free ram do you have?
140mb free ram it always shows approx this much ram free...

I'm having the same problem. Anyone found a solution? Preferrably without losing warranty.
Note: I always have like ~220MB of RAM free and still get these freezes.

No, i still have the problem, I try to not use chrome at all even if it's useful for my bookmarks for google, the phone it's laggy too and now I kind of regretting to buy it XDA doesn't even have a thread for this phone that says much about how bad the phone is(?) :crying:
May be some of the Devices are affected.... I think its a manufacturing defect. The thing is i void my warranty by rooting . I don't know if there is way for unrooting and restoring Knox .
Guys, I noticed that when turning on "Force GPU Rendering" from developer options, browsing experience is very smooth and lag is gone. I tested this on chrome and chrome beta. Could work as a temporary solution.
Yesterday I Hard Rest my prime and installed all the memory bugging apps but everything is working perfectly. No lagging and hanging anymore. I think battery backup has also been improved a bit. I think u ppl shld root and do hard reset.
I tried this and it seems that the problem is gone, you should have a try : http://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-android-scroll-lagging-363080/
P.S : I changed the value to 256

even i had the same problem i factory reseted my phone and its fine
Prob with Freezes
What would cause a phone to constantly freeze and stop working until the battery is taken out and put back in to get it back to working again.
I go thru this way too much throughout the day?
Lag?
i used to have the same problem, i just installed AdBlock plus and my problem is gone.
