TPT ICS Feedback

OK for all the lucky people who have suceeded in updating their tpts to ICS, would you mind sharing feedback. I'm currently on the CM9 port which is stable enough for my use and I don't want to upgrade to ICS and lose CWM unless it's worth it:
1. Do both front and back cameras work?
2. Does Sound work properly?
3. Is there still the "pen wonk" problem where the pen develops a mind of its own and just stops working?
4. Is the tpt any faster than before (i.e boot times, application launch, etc)
5. Any noticeable lag during usage?
6. On honeycomb, the tpt is unresponsive to touch immediately its woken up from sleep for like a second. Is that problem still on ICS?
Feel free to share any other issues encountered. Thanks

Hey,
1. Both Cams are working
2. Sound is still a bit quiet, but it works
3. after the update i hadn't any problems with the pen
4. In my opinion it is much faster then before and there hasn't been any crash since the update
5. I don't see a lag
6. This problem is still there, but not as much as before.

Thanks @folkommen, I'm sure this info will be much useful for me and others
Can anyone else confirm that the pen doesn't suddenly stop working during usage? Please make sure you're using the pen for a decent amount of time as this issue seems to occur randomly but usually 10-20 minutes of writing.

Did the ICS update fix the GPS (or make it better)?

Focus?

Some have reported it fixed but Lenovo is actively working on the issue now and has an idea onmthe hardware side what may be wrong.

AT 05/25/2012 is the WE Version released, with the same problem as UK: some G3 Providers are missing the connection for internet, Bad supply recharging, busybox problems disabled upgrade.
My Upgrade was succsessfully. No problems, not before and not after the update. G3 works fine. GPS fixed within 10 s 6 Satellits.

[Q] ICS is crashing

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

Camera app startup lag/delay

Hey guys,
I've upgraded from S4 to S5 and the most noticeable (negative) change is that the camera takes significantly longer to start (from 1-2 seconds on S4 to 4-5 seconds on S5).
A couple of seconds might not sound a lot, but it is very frustrating when you want to capture the moment, and because your camera is taking forever to start, you miss it.
I know 2 other friends who has this complaint as well. Are there are any solutions to make the startup faster?
Thanks in advance

the lastest update firmware fix this issue, it improves camera speed, mine takes only 2-3 seconds to start up (with external sd card), its faster without sd card.

I do have the latest update I believe (when I check for updates, it says it's up to date).

i would recommend you to flash firmware, not ota update. or you could back up your apps and do factory reset to see if there is any improvement

My stock OS opens the camera fast, after the update it became3x slower. I should have not updated. I'm thinking the culprit is the first update because the phone prompted the first update the instant it first time it connects to the internet. I only did the updates after a month since I have no issues. But then the second update was already available and I thought to myself that I should not miss more than 1 update. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don;t fix it.

that's why i would recommend to reflash latest stock firmware, i personally don't trust ota update

Samsung S10+ One UI has lots of bugs

Anyone experiencing this?
The bugs that I faced so far:
- waze not responding after switching between apps. Once not responding, I have to close waze completely then open it again but I might need to wait few mins before it would start correctly
- just today the camera suddenly not responding. I have tried to close the apps but it would still shows blank screen. Then I restart the device then it was back to normal
- game rise of civilization would gave blank white screen from time to time after switching apps
- system UI not responding
I was coming from iOS, then change to vivo v9 before I use Samsung.
While the screen and design is a beauty, but even vivo had no bugs like Samsung.
Anyone face similar issues? Anyone know how to overcome this?

Never noticed such bugs on my device. Don't know about the game though because I didn't try it. Are you rooted ? or using some theming apps like Substratum ? You should try booting your phone in safe mode first to see if some app is causing problems. Last time when my Samsung phone's UI stopped working, the culprit was wrong theme applied from Substratum. So, check it first in safe mode, and if it still occurs in safe mode, do a factory reset or flash stock firmware using odin.

I have had none of those bugs.

Never experienced any of those "bugs" either.

Also, No bugs here...

Never had a bug here

No bugs here. Not even in beta versions using s8 ans s9. I suggest factory reset. Maybe download the latest odin firmware for your carrier and install that. This is the first thread i've seen with people having multiple concerns with One UI bugs.

The only bug I am getting is with the Spotify app. Ever since installing Galaxy Wearables and using Galaxy ear buds the Spotify app is really flakey. It hangs a lot of the time and I have to restart the device to get it to work. Has anyone else had this happen on their S10 plus?

Did not face any of those bugs at all
And did not try this game

No bugs here

I have a lot of apps on my phone, some since honeycomb and no problems either.

My 975U1 has been rock solid from day 1.

No bugs on my phone. But there are plenty roaches in my workplace

No bugs here.

No bugs. This is the least buggy phone I have ever had. No complaints. Coming from pixels and 6t

Not rooted... I will try the safe mode suggestion though...

Spotify works fine for me. On the phone and on Android Auto. Either uninstall and reinstall or go to apps settings and clear cache and data. Settings/Apps/Spotify/storage/ Clear cache then clear data buttons. Restart and try it out again.

Z3 compact user in 2019

Hello,
I am getting my z3 compact tomorrow. I would like some input from existing users about the phone:
1) which official rom will give me the best user experience, meaning best camera, snappiness, the least problems/bugs. I usualy prefer the rom that the phone was shipped with, so is there a reason to go to newer rom, meaning better battery life, bug fixes, better camera ?
2) as i know camera on this phone is horrible, what do i need to know to get at least mediocre performance out of it ? Do u suggest superior auto or manual ?
3) anything else i need to know ? I will mostly use it for calls, camera, occasionaly google maps and music, almost never for webpage browsing or videos, never for games

1) I use the official .291 ROM with MM
2) Use the Cyberian camera mod and Manual mode
3) There is the common touch screen issues and issues with 3.5jack

1) i have it at 6.0.1 right now. I would rather remain at stock since i dont wanna mess up camera keys and add more bugs.
2) do i have to root phone for this cyberian camera ? Could you quickly explain what gains i get with it over default camera ?
3) i didnt get touchscreen issues, didnt test 3.5 jack yet. The only problem i had so far was that when i wanted to take a photo and before taking it, i was moving phone very quickly and suddenly i got artifacts and screen tearing on screen. 1 thing to note is that phone was quite warm at the moment because i was bulk installing apps. After that i wasnt able to replicate the problem again. I hope it was momentary thing and that phone will work ok

Btw phone is updated to last rom and factory reset (actualy factory reset 2 times in a row). And there is a wierd thing. When i connect to my computer, i want to be able to access my pictures right away. But instead i have to click mtp mode on screen of mobile phone. I went to connectivity and basicly i have no option there to change default connectivity mode - the only thing there is option to automaticly install software when connected to pc. Is there a way to change things so that when i connect the phone to pc, i dont have to press anything and be able to access pictures right away

No one using this phone anymore ?

i'm still sticking with z3c, but i'm a noob, probably not the best person to answer your question.
i have never tried official stock 6.0.1, i tried slimm 6.0.1 and existenz 6.0.1 but the battery life is disappointing.
at the moment i'm going back to official stock 5.1.1 with cyberian camera.
i think u need to root, (after root, CLEAR DATA "Camera","Camera Common" & "Video" and then flash cyberian camera via recovery)
i never had ur screen tearing issue.

Miui 7, Androplus Kernel v32' and living normally...

z3c my emergency mobile..existenz rom. is a pseudocustom that preserves all the functionality Z series, ant +, mirrorlink 1: 1, etc. mobile 10, comfortable, beautiful, well built, much better than the later z5c. I have had 2 z3c and 2 z5c and the z3c is much more device. I have had the bad luck to always have devices with the bootloader closed(prototype) and not be able to enjoy them 100%, but existenz is very good rom for daily use

Don't worry about that, it's normal. It was one of the "great" and new features in android MM. Every device which runs stock, or nearly stock android MM will do the same when connected to a PC. So seriously, no worries, it's okay, you'll always need to select MTP.

Btw touch focus doesnt work in camera. I click on a spot but it does nothing. I would really love to have option to focus to my liking before taking a picture. And i dont want to use dedicated camera button

You're in Manual Mode? There's no Touch Focus option in Superior Auto.

There are lots of used Z3 Compact ads for sale with the touch not working.

I'm using omnirom 8.1 and z3c.

The touchscreen-issue is very common on this phone indeed. I exchanged my touchscreen of my 3-year-old Z3C by myself and if you have some suiteable tools, a calm hand and a bit of time, the process is possible for an average-experienced user. There are lots of Youtube-Videos as well. My girlfriend had a Z3C as well and the touchscreen of this phone was broken too. Seems like planned obsolescence?

Carbon Rom Oreo. It's always been my go to rom when I cannot find a smooth and fluid rom, or when the rom doesn't support the device's specific features , such as the z3c's camera button. I've used the rom on the z3c for all of 2 days so far and I'm continually amazed at how the devs have managed to create such a polished experience.

Is your phone D5803 or D5833? Mine is the second one and just can't boot if I install any custom ROM. I tried many but none worked

1. Stock Rom 6.0.1, Lollipop 5.1.1 is more smooth and not heating
2. Use cyberian mod, using manual mode had more good image than superior auto but you must set the manual settings first
