OTA Annoyances

Not sure whether I'm the only one but there are a few things that really bugging me with the OTA:
1) Auto-brightness now just always keeps me at the lowest brightness. I prefer the auto but not if its going to make my screen always dark.
2) The camera actually seems to take not as good pictures for some reason. Everything looks more washed out, especially in low light cases.
3) The default black background worked with all programs, and the white just doesn't. For example FPSE: when you are picking from a list of roms if the list doesn't go all the way to the bottom then where there are things to pick from its black and below it its white. Titanium Backup has the same thing below the list of schedules. It is frekin ugly and just doesn't look right like it did before.
4) The top bar icons just don't look as nice as the old ones.
5) Talking over the phone everyone sounds quiter and grainer

I've noticed that low light pictures suck now.

I'm not having the same low light picture issues.
Also, if some apps look bad because of the new theme, those app makers should fix their apps. If just one app inherits the new color-schemes, all apps can. Some programmers are not using "best practice" techniques in this case.
For example, they manually set the background color and font color, rather than inherit from the colors from the system. Should be a simple fix for them, if they care.

For those that don't mind using Bluetooth, I highly recommended the Motorola H720.
This headset isn't that expensive, and IMHO it greatly enhances the call quality on ALL of my Android phones.
I'm still on (Bell) Froyo, but the H720 might be worth a shot for anyone disappointed with call quality...

Since upgrading to official Gingerbread, my Gmail icon no longer shows up in the messaging app. Gmail still works, but when I go into messaging all other accounts are listed except my Gmail app account. Gmail was always listed in the messaging app in Froyo. My wife hasn't upgraded yet and Gmail list listed in messaging on her Atrix. Is anyone else having this issue?
Daneren, I agree the new color theme is horrible. The color and symbols on the notification bar really bad.

low light pic sucks!!! Colors seem a little cheap on the menu bar.

This is why I think Motorola should have put the new exposure setting onscreen instead of in the menu settings. That setting makes a huge difference in picture quality, and I have to adjust it way too much for it to be in menu setting.

I am disapointed with a few things also. Low light pics seem effected, I cant tether anymore, my quadrant standard score is 300-800 lower consistantly now, there is an annoying lag when I unlock with the slider, and I prefer the top bar icons with 2.2.2.

If you're rooted wifi tether for root seems to work fine for me.
I'd rather do that than manually dig around sql files and possibly bork something (as per the mod in the dev section).
As a formed N1 user I miss my vanilla android sometimes

To add to that
-home screen seems to be less responsive
- battery indicator inaccurate
Haven't tested a lot. Will take time to test all the options and features.
However the new keyboard seems to be an improvement though.

If you are looking for a player that's close to the previous, give PlayerPro a try. (Has trial but not free)

Minor irritations with the Note.

Having used a Galaxy Tab and S2 in the past I find some minor irritations with the current Note UI. I would like to know if anyone has solutions for these.
1. The screen orientation cannot be locked to landscape. Whenever I lock rotation the screen reverts to portrait.
2. Animation during rotation. I would prefer that the rotation is instantaneous like in the other samsung android devices. I have turned off animations totally in Settings.
3. Notification sound when bluetooth is turned on.
I think I will probably have to wait till custom roms turn up to solve these problems.

Only roms that solve 1. are CM7 and MIUI. Any roms based on samsung roms will not solve it, unless someone will hack it in the future.
Have no idea about 2.
About 3. try finding the notification that is played and delete/rename it?
Is it a notification unique to bt toggle? or general notification?

Issue I have with my note relating to landscape is that instead of using a partial screen textbox when typing in landscape it still takes over the whole screen with just the text and keyboard... definitely could be done better on such a high resolution screen.

ICS on Nexus S Complaints, Dissapointed, Downgrade

To be clear, I am liking ICS a lot, and am happy to see where Android is progressing. Here are a few complaints, however:
-I can't believe they disabled the search capacity button from the home screen. If you remove the search bar, there's no way to search from the home screen. Still hate the fact that the top bar is unusable space.
-Limited items in folders. This is one area which I don't understand why they back-peddled. It's very iOS-like, and it's one of the worst things to copy. Max 16 apps in a folder now. My understanding was that it was unlimited before. This will require adjustment.
-The icons look childish. Wish Google would truly allow customization and let us change the icons like other launchers do.
-Still no ability to add custom shortcuts to the home screen (like ADW Launcher can). Unless I'm mistaken? How do I make a direct dial icon?
-Long pressing Home button for the app switcher feels slow and clunky. It takes a while for the list of apps to show up.
Well, that's all I can think of for now. Still getting the hang of it. Again, overall, I'm really enjoying ICS. The UI is so modern and sleek looking.

You can add direct dial shortcuts through the widget section dude

I'm loving ICS on the Nexus S, too. However, my battery life is atrocious since the upgrade today. I went from 100% to 4% in less than 6 hours. It wasn't that I was using it or playing with it that much, either. All the settings were similar to what they were on 2.3.6, e.g., low backlight, GPS/WiFi/Bluetooth off, push email on, account sync on. I was getting 12+ hours with up to 20% left on Gingerbread with these settings. According to the battery app, it looks like "Android OS" might be the culprit, as "keep awake" is listed as the highest-ranked battery usage over everything else, including screen, voice calls, cell standby, etc. I've read on other forums about a possible Android OS bug with the SGS II. I'm thinking it might be so with ICS on the NS. Anyone else have this issue? How do we report it to Google so we can get a bug fix?

icons are still customizable, as they are with any rom. The launcher my not let you do it as easily as other launcher aps from within android.. but you can still do it externally by editing the icon files from the flash able rom file.

One small issue I found: Lock sound never plays even when the option is checked. Besides that, I'm really liking ICS. I wish the default widgets were more customizable. (e.g., calendar widget is one row too long, GMail widget is one column too wide) As a person with a severe visual impairment, I find the "Larger" text option a nice touch.

Oh wow, thanks! By the way, I found my issue for the lock screen: it got switched to None. I guess I forgot to switch it back after looking for the Face Unlock feature.
Speaking if which, looking at other threads it seems this feature was dropped for the Nexus S due to poor front-facing camera resolution. Oh well.
PS: I wish the custom message you can put on the lockscreen was more customizable than one scrolling line.

One thing I noticed is it gets rather sluggish at times. UI is smooth but there are very bad lags. Noticeable with even just the a live wallpaper, you can see it stutters every ten seconds or so.
Also, some apps won't work, Viber for example. It installs but it doesn't work, it just won't start. Black screen.
Maybe I should wait until the official OTA comes available for me, in Italy, through Software Update, and see if things are better? I have an i9020T, though- isn't the update going to be the same exact file?

if your battery life is really bad try turning off NFC and see if that makes a difference. From the Alpha I managed to get about 25 hours (once..) but cannot remember what I changed to get that.

the two complains I have : auto brightness doesn't work as well as it used too.
and google talk signs me out after a while without telling me.

Face unlock didn't seem to make the cut on the Nexus S.

Posted this in the ICS link section... this seems like a better place for it.
Anyone seeing any issues with the completely stock ICS on the TMo version of the nexus S?
Issues I am seeing so far:
Delayed scrolling when I swipe in the web browser. Seems as if the browser is trying to determine if I meant to click a link or scroll and the delay for the OS to decide is MUCH longer than it was on GB. (Maybe that was intended but maybe they over compensated).
The browser exits (doesn't even force close), just exits on certain websites when trying to scroll.
I hear reports of it being "buttery smooth" and honestly mine feels like it is slower than GB.. maybe that is because of my perception that the scrolling is slower...
Curious to see if this is happening to anyone else...

Reports say that the 'double tap' the top to scroll back up the contacts list...only works on the contacts list. So, hopefully...our devs can make it universal on any screen that needs to be scrolled. Also, maybe a 'double tap on the bottom' as well. (maybe the double tap on the bottom can take us back to the previous screen position)

A way to swap the menu and recent apps key assignments. I'd rather do the left key for recent apps and hold the home key for menu. Also stock ICS theme with all Touchwiz features

- Reduce home button delay - edit: just found out you can decrease delay by going into s-voice settings and disabling double click home shortcut.
- Improve lock screen wake up speed
- 5 instead of 4 lock screen shortcuts (e.g. i'd like to be able to have phone, messaging, email, internet, camera)
- scrolling wallpaper would be cute
- prevent flashing white notification led when phone is charged? or was it for something else? This actually woke me up last night and wouldnt stop until i pulled the power cable.
- ability to swap icons around on the launcher when the grid is full. Is it just me, am I being stupid? because when a launcher page is full, I can't move icons around anymore. I can move icons into folders, but when I drag an icon over another one, they refuse to swap places. Is this normal touchwiz behaviour? if it is, it's going to make organising my home screen severely annoying!

I'm such a dork, I got super excited that someone besides me said scrolling wallpaper. lol

NOVA uses the touchwiz lockscreen from what i can tell, so shortcuts are there.
I have actually removed the lockscreen entirely, the phone wakes up much faster.
As for security, I use an app that uses face unlock only when you try to get to settings, play store or any other app you choose. This way I can access my phone quickly for usual things but have the security where i need it.

I'd quite like the ability the rearrange the controls in the notification menu.

What can be improved:
- Get rid of the horrible sharpening that creates ugly halos around text on non white backgrounds. (it is software as using power-save L1 in browser eliminates the sharpening)
- Remove a little of the pink tint in color temperature
- Reduce the millions of always running (unquitable) services running to a minimum so that home screen restarts and browser out of memory are less of an issue.
- Make the home launcher system persistent
- Remove the unnecessary animations that slows down the speed of waking up the screen and returning to home screen.
- In browser add ability to access tabs and url bar by tapping menu when in full screen mode.
- Add text reflow to browser similar to htc. The default fit to screen option butchers the look of the webpage overview.
- Add the option to choose between LQ, HQ or HD in youtube app.

My First Impressions with XXLQ5 4.0.4 ROM

As i always say, for noobs, but kids/AOSP lovers or TW haters!
Again, a BIG thanks to sammobile.com for leaking this ROM 24 hours early. Great effort guys.
(I am missing those people who were supposed to pass over them)
• Usually phone calls were of no problem. Sound is solid in both earpiece and speaker.
Noise Reduction feature is back, and i love it. :good:
• Vibration intensity is solid as it was.
• All connectivity works. WiFi, 3G/H+, Bluetooth etc.
• Swype is present as it should and version is 3.26.92Q
• Is it me only or the 1080P mkv files are running smoother than before!! :good:
• TW launcher does have the loop Home screen option, and as well in App drawer.
• Internet Browser- Well it has been changed, all over smoothness is better than previous ROM. Nice. The address loading bar is changed it's color from green to Sky blue and a little bit thicker as well! :good:
• Jeez! Can you guys see an option to Refresh a web page?? I can't!
• Call logs STILL don't categorise numbers! Uff!
• Vibrate option changed it's name to Mute. Lol. And the Vibrate icon is changed in Status bar.
• The icons in Notification bar (Application update, any other notifications etc) is no more big ones but they are small like as they were in GB.
• The Lockscreen notification is changed. Now Missed call and SMS are indicated under two separate circles and their background is transparent, unlike in previous ROM it was Red. :good:
• The scrolling bar is changed. Previously it would appear in a different grid with it the long vertical line and green colored, but now it is well merged, small and doesn't stay on any vertical line. :good:
• The Task Manager writing is now BIG and fills up the whole screen area horizontally. What's the point?
• The settings menu (which appears when you press menu button) is changed. It appears in a white and a little big icon sets. See screenshot.
• As it is mentioned many times before, Contacts in now there under phone dialer. :good:
• There is an option to set battery status to show as percentage in Status bar.
• There is an option to have a little vibrate when a call is connected. :good:
• There is a new option i am noticing, under Display you'd see a 'Help Text' option!
• The font 'Rosemary' is now added under main fonts.
• Connection with desktop is working fine as it always did.
• So far, haven't noticed any specific bugs, or any apps are not opening or something like that.
The OVERALL smoothness and scrolling is good, even with the stock kernel. So it's definitely worth upgrading.
No root yet! So I'll upload a video tomorrow, if a root kernel appears.
Now if I have missed any point which you've found OR misstated anything please reply below.
Regards.

Exactly, that's what I always do until the adequate CF-root is released. Works like a charm.

My exact same sentiments ithehappy. Samsung seems to be doing well with firmware updates now. Hope this good run continues with JB.
I don't see myself going AOSP or custom ROM anytime soon.
Only negative thing I noticed is the removal of the brightness adjustment by the sliding notification area. But I can live without it.

Hi guys. I'm new here, this is my first post to a thread in this gigantic forum actually, but I've been following some threads for quite a while now.
I think it's great 4.0.4 has been released (even if it is not official yet) for the i9100.
I'm very excited to turn to that new FW since I've been having mic issues while on phone calls and since noise reduction was somehow lost in the transition from GB to ICS it was a bit disappointing to have such a great piece of hardware with a faulty software that was preventing using the phone to its full.
By the way @ithehappy, thx very much for sharing your experience here.

Anybody noticed the bugs?
This rom has some bugs.
1. Camera shutter sound works even if the phone is on silent mode.
2. Swiping on the status bar for brightness control doesn't work.
EDIT: Camera sound was due to KOR sales code. Have changed it to XEU. Now it is silent when the phone is silent.

They can be new features, not necessarily bugs.

lOl, you can call them new features. :angel:
But they are surely bugs. (especially the focus & shutter sound in silent mode)

So far, following bugs found, Bluetooth not working, camera app not showing preview and corruption of serial number of phone.
Still a bit buggy,especially if needing to use Bluetooth.

bluetooth working perfectly fine with my car, both a2dp and making/receiving calls.
Camera app also working fine for me. Camera shutter is silent if my phone is set on silent too.
i do have the empty serial number but thats not important to me.

Bluetooth was making phone noise, but no volume of caller. Camera app showing black screen, no picture review before taking a picture.
This is still very buggy, other users are also reporting no sound when the phone is in a car dock.

My friend, brightness slider could be disabled by purpose, you never know. Focus&shutter sound - isn't a legal issue involved here? (I've read that it was illegal to silent these sounds completely in some countries )
Anyway I don't want to discuss this any more. So EOT here
About BT - I don't use handsfree and other acc, but file transfer worked like a charm for me today.

No camera sound now when the phone is on silent mode. (Had to change the sales code from KOR to XEU).
