What about 4.0.4?

Does anybody have any opinion that when will we get an official update to 4.0.4 from 4.0.3?

4.0.4 was released yesterday to America for flashing on various models. I'm pretty confident Samsung will release it for note for Christmas,

And what an excellent 4.0.3 it really is. Sprinkled with some bricks, too, but one
can't have everything.

I couldn't understand why people think I am not satisfied. A few of my friends are using nexus s and they had solved lots of problems after they upgraded their phones from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4

yes because that phone was the first to be shipped with ics, so that is basically the bleeding edge for ics

I don't mind a 403 without the bugs atm battery(wakelocks) sucks, touchscreen sometimes hangs, apps not working well do OS bugs, Lockscreen bug hangs alot processes/apps, more importantly LPY bricks issues, don't think it is 100% lpy problem but still want my mind not to it all the time, want to wipe phone and can't.

Nexus S he said, not the Galaxy Nexus.
Official 4.0.4 change log:
Stability improvements.
Better camera performance.
Smoother screen rotation.
Improved phone number recognition.
Sound a like a worthy upgrade to me.
But I'm on CM9 so I've it already.

Well my sgs2 got 4.0.3, 2 months ago, and still no upgrade to 4.0.4. So won't be quick for note either. I love the way they release something totally new and it's need upgrades for bug fixes straight away. How hard it is for these massive companies to get it right first time!

Ummm
Well the unethical way of update release by Samsung made us all confused.. If they would have released it like their prior updates all regions or more than one region then we might have upgraded our devices. But currently their is only one xxlpy Germany experimental release so I am not at all interested.

If you don't have a particular need to upgrade to ICS, then you should probably wait until it gets released locally, or you decide you have a need.
I personally won't be going back to GB, because I like the better external keyboard support (it recognises the CTRL and ALT keys) and also the USB midi support, both of which don't work in GB.
The UI tweaks and snappier response are good, but they're not going to let you don anything you can't do already.
If there's an app you want to use that is ICS only, then that might be a reason to upgrade too.
LPF (which I have found to be a lot better than LPY, in terms of UI speed and battery performance) is a wipe ROM though, so you need to spend a bit of time restoring everything.
If you wait for the OTA release, it might will hopefully not be a wipe ROM, which might make life easier for you.
HTH,
Rich

Hello,
Personally I've been on ICS for almost a month now and I love it, first midnote than Crisckelo (V2 and V3) but now I love the Kingdroid ROM the battery doesn't die and it looks even better with Apex launcher!!
I could not go back to gingerbread!! I haven't tried the stock ICS (LPY or LPF) but with their bloatware the battery would not suit me !!

I can confirm it reads arabic.perfectly. dunno abt japanese.....the rom is so far very stable nd better looking....pinkish display issue solved 90%.......sd card readng bug sometimes solved by unmountng then mountng.

Thanx guys for responding it means alot for me,,,,,
Best regards

I personally have gone back to GB (rocket ROM) which in terms of battery and responsiveness is better than any ICS ROM I tried. Also there are apps that don't run well on ICS. I guess in a few months time when all official ICS ota's had been released and the developers have had time to tweak them then ICS will be better.

Say no to ICS for now
DOnt go to ICS as yet...wait for the eMMC thingi to be resolved first man!

After testing ics on gb again and really happy. And for sure that i want go back to ics a long time.

Changelog ?

Got the update in PA this morning (just reverted to stock to check for it) - planned on reloading from scratch anyway, so I installed .24 clean (NVFlashed it), updated to .27 and then didn't restore any apps (re-installed the apps).
The only "changelog" that I saw (when I went to install the update from the clean .24 install) said the standard "Performance and stability improvements, blah, blah blah" - just a one liner - no details...

lol what did you expect then ?

This update didn't work out for me. I had rootkeeper installed and verified it was working before doing the update. Once I did the update the TF101 rebooted and started doing the update until i got the caution sign with the exclamation mark. That's when I knew this tab was bricked. Now when I boot the tablet it takes me into Clockwork Mod. I've restored two backups so far and it doesn't want to boot into ICS.

Lol did u expect Jelly Bean?;-)

Got it here in NJ today. It has def made a difference for my tf101 B70 model. Scrolling is faster and smoother video over WiFi. I ran it through a lot of the issues I was having especially with multiple apps running still no reboots, no freezes and no performance slow down.
I am not holding my breath though, this update most likely broke what was not having issues before but so far a thumbs up . Maybe next week I will either give it the other thumb or the finger.
Now only if the android developers would get their thumbs out of their asses and give my Motorola phone an ICS build.
How long until we get 5.0 here you think. 3rd or 4th quarter?

Even if there is an update to 4.0.4, don't expect any major differences. The changes are mostly "under the hood". I have 4.0.4 on my phone, and to be honest, 4.0.3 runs better on my TF.

Razr Maxx. 4.0.4 isn't horrible on it, but I have some lag on the screens and my battery life took a slight hit compared to 2.3.6.

Should we cold-boot after the .27 update?
Or will it do it itself?

You shouldn't have to, but I did it anyway since it was recommended after the 24 update.

So.... Does it solve the hd video stutter issues?

whats all the buzz about 4.04, its not like its a special upgrade, its still ics....
Im more interested in JB, come on guys, are we going to get it?????
I really hope so, personally i dont like ics and im still running LA4 GB, since day 1 of pretty much flashing my phone, it works for mw, ics doesnt.
So if anyone has any goss on JB, would be cool, i know the s3 and hox and note will get it, but, will we..

With JB, try waiting another 6 months.
You do not need the ROM released in your regions to install. Most of them are fine, unless you want languages specific to your region.

I miss Ice Cream Sandwich

I used to love my S3 when it was modded up with Fox Hound ROM with Ice Cream Sandwich and Siyah Kernal. It was fast snappy and the battery lasted for ages. It seems since upgrading to Jelly Bean yes more features were added but it seems slower, battery is crap and it often freezes. I have tried various ROMs and always done Full wipes first. Non seem as stable as the final releases of Ice Cream Sandwich.
Is it possible to jump back to Ice Cream Sandwich or even the very last Fox Hound ROM before jelly bean along with the Kernal from that time. I'd love to see if it's the phone or the software. I'd even settle for completely stock unrooted. I just want a reliable phone again.
Currently running Omega 43.3 Siyah 1.91 and not happy at all. I left FoxHound behind as I was getting similar issues.

Yes you can go back.

Sorry.
Do other people find the same with Jelly Bean or are they perfectly happy with it?
On a side note the only feature I really use on my Rooted phone these days is hold volume up to change track. Is there any way I can get this on a stock unrooted phone as I could do with the Barclays PIN Sentry App to work.

The freezes are likely to sds fix which if true, means going back to ics can kill your phone.

This ^^
Be very careful with this, better to have a slightly slower but fully functional phone than a dead one.
Also it may just be the case that you're in need of a global reset on your phone. They do need a wipe from time to time. Take the chance and try a different rom. If nothing else, the latest official with a pimped up kernel may do you wonders.
To be perfectly honest I was never happy with omegas results for some reason, it always seemed to miss the snappiness others have.

Thanks guys. I installed Ice Cream Sandwich last night as a test to see how it felt. It was like a different phone no freezes or hangs! I used the app outlined in your post rootSU and I do have the chip but it passed the the test. I'll do some more reading in that thread about the freezing and possibly do an OTA update to Jelly bean and see how I get on. Thinking of selling the phone still.

Passinng the test is not relevant. Those freeses happen on Jellybean only when it is preventing teh phone from having SDS. Your phone will die. jellybean now or risk a dead phone.

I've just had the latest official BTU Jellybean downloading. I'll sort it after work. Strange, I un-rooted following the instructions and just notice my Device Status is still modified. I need to do it all again anyway.
I'm half tempted to leave it as ICS and stock let it die and get a new updated mobo.

Never seen any reports saying samsung released and updated mobo without this problem on this phone, always thought they released the current sds fix and called it a day. Granted, you may get it replaced under warranty but to what point? You'll be left without a phone for around 30 days (thats how long it is here) and still get a phone with the same problems. If this is a problem to you, you're better off selling it, i think.

Yeah that's not good enough for me. I'll sell it I think. I'm going travelling and will be in Seoul so should be able to get a decent phone over there.
