M a new member so cant post links ( google , u will find the article) but this seems to be the time frame for most of the countries which have not got the gb update yet. From the press release the update looks good

Just forget about 2.3 and ICS. Forget about all updates as they never be released, enjoy ur LG as long as u have it.

i posted an EMAIL about what LG UK said in a newer thread...

you can read what they told me in the new thread...:confused:
[LG Optimus Black] George Jetson:
I really disappointed about LG.:( I was found this phone i really like features and design.Than I was learn LG is Korean brand.I love korea.I decided to buy this phone.But now Lg really disappoint me im really sad this situation not for gingerbread upgrade my phone... just disappointed for korean brand is discredit from by a lot of users.:(

After that point, LG have to do make ics upgrade all products in Q1 2012 for forgiven itself.LG is brands of firsts... I belive LG will do again first thing will be release ICS before Gingerbread.:)

Sorry my bad english.

I wish explain myself well and I have a lot of words to say but my bad english is to provend it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
First i want to thank hashcode and everyone who has helped him for the Great ICS build =] I realized that most the posts in the ICS development thread were becoming troubleshooting to basic problems [some by me :o ], so i decided to make this thread to help others.

Before you post with a problem make sure you have wiped /data/cache/dalvik and done a full factory reset. Also tried installing again. Please also state if you restored your google settings. This will help speed up the process in helping you.

Below are a list of fixes for bugs that have yet to fixed in an updated release, if there are more fixes please tell me and ill add them here. Have fun ;]

Input Selection Keyboard Fix by Androidsims

Go to /system/app and delete OpenWnn.apk and PinyinIME.apk and the chinese and japanese input methods will be gone. Along with the icon in the top. If you have another keyboard installed [such as swype] the icon will still show.

Apps are a bit laggy

use Rom Toolbox to set your VM heap size to 88m. I cant remember where but it was said that this is best to achieve a smoother experience with ICS.

Watch Videos on ICS

use the latest vlc for android. Have to click on videos via root explorer or another file manager app. Opening app directly just causes a force close.

BT

not sure if it is just me but in alph 1 and 2 i get alot of static when i make or receive any calls thru bluetooth.

i've wiped everything even tried re-installing a couple times and even tried a different bluetooth headset. no matter what i wipe/reset/re-install it all ends up the same result. with static on all calls both ways. i hear static and so does the caller.

Just fyi
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
I combed the ics forum and found issues similar to this but they were solved with methods mentioned above. The fact that you tried all this already makes me feel the problem is unique to u. Try booting into nonsafe and see if you have the issue then. Sorry for the late reply btw

[Motorola Droid 3] phrir1:
Better that no reply :p thanx for the help. But I have installed multiple different roms so far and they all work fine, and last time I was in non-safe mode it worked fine but im not sure if at the time ics was installed on my safe system(not sure if that matters or if that is what you were implying or not). So on BT you can make calls and receive calls with no issues? Mine is kinda weird, when I make a call the static is speratic, when I dial out every time it rings there is static and then I can hear the ring (constantly), when in a conversion every couple of words of the caller is static as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Not me. If you scan drom page and past in the ics thread someone was talkin about that issue. I can't remember the exact page and I'm on my phone but look in those sections. There issue was different however but I believe it was still solved with a wipe. I think they wiped the delvik too. But I've read all the posts in the that thread though, I don't think there was anything about static. I reccommend you go ask in there because hash can probably help best.

[Motorola Droid 3] phrir1:
Awesome, thanks for the input/help guys..
[Motorola Droid 3] Downtown Dan:
Loving ICS so far, thanks a lot!

My biggest complaint (maybe user error):

Pandora isn't playing audio over my car speakers via Microsoft SYNC. I get successful connection with my car, but I just can't get it to play through the speakers.

Haven't had a chance to test out other media apps.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Does it use cable, 3g, or bluetooth to hook up to the speakers? and to the person before, i havent seen a solution at all with the bluetooth, i think it something Hash will have to fix
[Motorola Droid 3] Downtown Dan:
Sorry forgot to specify. This is via Bluetooth.

I haven't tried USB or 3.5mm connections yet. I don't keep them in the car since I haven't needed them before.

Edit: I should also mention that audio does play through the phone's speaker. So even though it's connected to BT I'm still only getting sound from the phone's speaker.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Ah thats what i was thinking. I think these bluetooth issues need to be brought to Hash attention as its more than one person experiencing problems with it. And its seems to be solely with bluetooth. You shuld report a bug with it to him in his tracker here

http://www.hash-of-codes.com/tracker

As for help i can tell you to make sure you also wipe your dalvik. I have forgot to mention that to people. Instructions from hash ;] Other than that because im no hashcode i really cant code anything to fix the bluetooth. Report it thought and hash might be able to fix it in Alpha 3
[Motorola Droid 3] Downtown Dan:
Thanks. Yeah I've been looking for a place to provide feedback and just ended up here.

How do I wipe dalvik? I've seen that mentioned every where along with cache data, but I got list on dalvik.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Boot into safestrap, go down to advanced and click that, and then you should see it. its the second or third option i believe
[Motorola Droid 3] Downtown Dan:
I must have looked over it. Thanks, I'll check it out.

On another note, 3.5mm plug in works fine in the car. Also, I connected via Bluetooth again and tested out calling. Hands free calling seems to work fine with SYNC.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
If hands free calling is working clear then it might be an app error. Is this error with your nonsafe rom? If not then I'm thinking their are still some compatibility issues between apps. I'm going to email both app developers and see if they still have bugs with ics or know anything.

Edit: I reread the thread again. Also look into your settings. The fact that the phone isn't even trying to send the audio over bluetooth is sounding like it doesn't know it has to. Make sure all the settings for both apps are correct and that this function is availible for this. I'm going to do a little research before I email the devs for help and ill tell you what I find
[Motorola Droid 3] Downtown Dan:
I still have safe boot enabled.

I forgot I was going to try out Amazon Cloud Player. I'll test that tonight yet. I also have to test Pandora since wiping dalvik. Not sure how much of a difference it would make.

I did double check the settings both times I've tried it. I don't think I've looked over anything. So maybe there are compatibility issues with the Pandora app. Cloud Player may be a good test to that.
[Motorola Droid 3] Downtown Dan:
Amazon Cloud Player does the same.

Turns out SYNC doesn't see my contacts. I have to use the phone to pick a contact but the dial tone plays over the car speakers. I'm thinking it is a Bluetooth issue related to this alpha #2 build.
[Motorola Droid 3] codemonkey2k5:
Has anyone found a workaround for charging the phone with USB?

I am using Alpha3.

Thanks,

CM
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
using Alpha 3 and just plugging it in works for me
[Motorola Droid 3] mtva24:
someone find me a workaround for wifi...Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
whats wrong with your wifi? give some details
[Motorola Droid 3] mtva24:
I turn on Wi-Fi and click on my network and then hit connect...after I do this, it just says "saved, secured with WEP", but the wi-fi does not turn on, it just says 3G...I tried to forget the network and re-enter my key but its still not working....

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Doesn't work for me
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
You seem to be having alot of issues. I think you needa new wipe completely. Wipe cache/dalvik/data and then install it over again. My ROM is running smooth with wifi and usb is fine. Also make sure your usb doesnt have any settings checked. Im not sur eif they work but i dont have any on mine and it works

edit. i played with my phone and tried to get it to not charge. I couldnt find anything. It charged in all situations no matter what the usb settings were. when i tried to change to media mode though it just force closed but the phone remained charging. I checked the ICS thread and havent found anyone reporting issues like this with alpha 3 which makes it seem like these cases are specific to you too. Did you guys preform the wipe above. If so try it once more for me please, and ill keep looking for ways to break the charging so it doesnt work... Wifi is something weird though. Im connected right now. Tell me what happens when you do your full wipe. dont forget to wipe DALVIK. i have no clue if this will work, but i have been doing it since my first safestrap flash and i havent had any of th eproblems peopel have been describing
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Just a note here. I ran into the no audio issue when making/receiving calls, but due to my laziness and desire to not wipe data, I didn't, wiping only the cache and dalvik fixed the no audio issue.

Does anyone know why I'm unable to add my Facebook and Skype accounts? When I go into Accounts and hit Add Account, it does nothing despite both being installed and working otherwise.

Lastly, is there any way to get rid of this annoying status bar notification telling me to select an input method?

Alpha 4
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
This has been an issue with facebook. But you should have been givin the option to sync facebook with contacts when you loaded it the first time. When you select your option there facebook will automatically be added to accounts. This is the same for skype. I want to say i am using alpha 3 also. But upgrade to alpha 4 as this issue was fixed in one of the latest builds. I havent tried adding it straight from the accounts menu. But it will work as described
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I'm on Alpha 4, but it still wouldn't add through the Accounts menu, but it did give the sync option when signing in. More than anything though, is this stupid alert telling me to choose between English and Japanese. Can I .bak the .apk in /system/app?

Found it over in the ICS thread although I can't remember it's name now. Sorry.

ICS Findings

Hello all and happy new year!

I finally flashed Alpha 4 and I have to say I am very impressed. So major kudos to hashcode and everyone who has helped test and tweak this build.

A couple of small things I am seeing in Alpha 4 that I wanted to let everyone know about:

1) Using SD Auto Mount I cannot mount the external SD card. The internal flash memory does get mounted. Any way to fix?

2) SIM card is not being detected, so I am in CDMA mode. While this is not a real issue for me, and I usually always switch to CDMA mode when in the US, I wanted to provide this feedback since I have been reading it was an issue in prior builds.

Has anyone started to play with ADW Launcher on this build? If not I am going to give it a go.

I am very happy to help where I can. I hope we can get this build as perfect as possible. I am very excited by the possibilities....

Thanks,

Steve
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Has anyone got Autostarts to work? I like to keep as little running as needed.
[Motorola Droid 3] stevefxp:
New Issue?

Google Music is not signed properly when I try to update it via the Market. When I delete the apk all together, and then try to install again its telling me its an incompatible update.

Edit: I had to side load it to get it to work properly.
[Motorola Droid 3] codemonkey2k5:
You get the little lightning bolt in the battery but it doesn't actually charge.

CM
[Motorola Droid 3] mtva24:
I updated to alpha # four, wiped data, wiped cache partition, wiped dalvick, flashed the rom and rebooted...

Same issue w/ wi-fi and still no option for usb charging...

w/ wi-fi, i select my network, it trys to connect for about 5-10 seconds, then it says "saved, secured w/ wep", but no wi-fi, only 3g...

w/ usb, i plug in, it says "usb connected as an installer, touch for more options", i select media device, then it says "unfortunately, settings has stopped."...
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
When you set it to work with your contacts. Its automatically added. Yes there is a way to get rid of that. Sorry i forgot bout that to put in the first post. Its somwhere in the 50s i think for the ics main dev thread. I cant look right now as im on my phone.

Read the first post to get the external mounted. i havent tried my sim card yet. Ill try it now and post bak. And i havent treied adw. Im interested though so get back to me about how it runs :]

EDIT: i actually cant try my sim. One i dont know how to switch to gsm. Hope you can tell me lol. And two im in the states so i dont think there are any gsm networks near by
[Motorola Droid 3] shinobi1369:
I am running Alpha 4. Anyone figure out a work around to get music working? Both apps and one I DL from the market do not see the music. The one I DL from the market has the option of where to search for music. I see the folders but tell it to load up but nothing. Only thing in my music directory is facebook pop notification. I have tried moving music folders from external SD card to internal and still no joy.

Overall, very impressed with this build. I have no issues with wifi or bluetooth that others have been mentioning. My droid forums app does like to disapeer from my app drawer though. Have to keep re installing it. Can not wait for this to final!:D
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
no its charging because usb charging is the only way i can charge my phone. And the battery fills up plus the fact that i use it, so i know its charging lol.

i dont mess with those settings as it causes a force close with me too. Are you using an AC adaptor to charge your phone right now?.. have you tried other wirless networks? and an unsecured network? i am using a secured and its fine but i want to see if its only secured networks causgin problems with your phone or all.

It doesnt find my music on my phone either. I have never bothered to get it to try because i just use google music for my songs. Ill see what i can do when i wake up in the AM and get back to you.

Will all of you please reply with the ROM you are running in NONSAFE. and also please say any system modifications that you made on both nonsafe and safe. Because each phone is acting so different even if people wipe everything, i am beginnign to think the nonsafe can affect how the safe system works. And system mods people might be doing will also be affecting this. Sorry for the long post aha

edit; to show that what im saying is true and to show how smooth the system should be running i made a video. Its in the First Post. It shows that literally everyitng but camera works. including paid apps, and gallery.
[Motorola Droid 3] digitalsynner85:
I'm using stock non-safe unedited, just rooted using pete's tool. When I flash ICS (alpha 4), before switching to safe, I do a back up. I do a regular safe mode swap and let it back up my system, and then I do a complete fresh install (wipe dalvik, wipe cache, format /system then install the rom) followed by another complete wipe before booting just to make sure that nothing is being left behind. Everything works fine that I've tested, except TiBu isn't registering correctly. It keeps telling me I have no SD card mounted. In stock, I can make and restore from backup that's made to my phone itself, seeing as I don't have an SD card and TiBu has no issues reading from my phone, yet I install only TiBu on my ICS install and it doesn't read, just gives the error "SD Card is not mounted" when I try to go into backup location.

Edit: Someone on the original, 100+ page thread, JasonOT I believe it was, said that he was having the same issue and that he had tried editing the vold.fstab and a few other files and nothing was working for him.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Didnt you say you dont have an sd card? So why would the sd card be mounted if its not there? Im half asleep so if i misunderstood just correct me lol... Also in backup location i used the autodetect thing. It worked great that way
[Motorola Droid 3] mtva24:
Yes, I charge through the wall. I can't transfer files or charge when hooked to my laptop. I had to download the alpha #4 over 3G.

I am using my home secured network, that worked fine with Gingerbread, and works fine with 2 of my laptops, PS3, and HP touchpad.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Yea the media transfer isnt working for anybody. do you have a different cord? and have usb debugging on... also try a different wifi network so we can see whats the problem. try a differfent one and an unsecured one.
[Motorola Droid 3] shinobi1369:
I am unable to transfer files between phone and computer as well. Also noticed text messaging (outgoing) is stuck at sending. I can receive fine. I have tried with stock app and with go sms pro as well. Anyone else having this issue? I am running alpha 4. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
no one is able to transfer unless using third party software mentioned in the firs tpost... i really wish i could help at all with the messaging thing but i had the same issue. Except in reverse it was my stock unable to send messages. I asked for help but no one even answered so i have no clue where to even start
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Are you using the native music app, or Google Music? If it's the native app, your issue may be sd-card related (as in mounting and recognition issues, like the gallery)... I'm sure Hash will fix it. As for your Droid Forums app (or any app that vanishes on you)... go to Manage apps, and check where it's stored. I'll bet it's stored on your sd-card ;) Just move it to the phone for now, and it should be fine... I had this same issue with my XDA app, and that's how I fixed it. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
hey can you tell me what exactly people mean when they say there gallery isnt working? mine loads my pictures fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
The gallery will find only the pictures on the internal SD. If you have a external SD you can test this. Using root explorer, move any picture from internal SD to external and then try to find it in the gallery, not there.

Here is the really strange part! Even though the gallery is only seeing pictures on the internal, if you pull your external SD out it can't find anything.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Found out it was cause my gallery was loading my photobucket pictures. Which were the exact same pics on my external. Big disappointment -_-
[Motorola Droid 3] billyhoyle13:
Has anyone had issues with receiving the same SMS messages multiple times? Here's what's happening to me - someone texts me, I receive the message. They text me again, but I receive the FIRST message again, and never get the second one. This is only happening in Alpha 4. I've reverted to Alpha 2 for now so that I can communicate with people lol. What gives??
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Have you tried *228 options 1 and 2? This sounds like something that may not be ROM related.
[Motorola Droid 3] billyhoyle13:
I'm on Rogers in Canada...*228 does nothing here. What is it supposed to do?
[Motorola Droid 3] Cameron6472:
Did you allow google to restore settings to your device?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I assumed you were on VZW and didn't look under your name. It's the VZW programming menu you call to activate/program a phone as well as update roaming capabilities.
[Motorola Droid 3] enigmaco:
I got a couple questions

1. Has anyone been having issues with google maps, the transit function is not working for me. I tried uninstalling maps and reinstalling and I still have the issue.

2. Is the bluetooth working? I got a pair of bluetooth headphones coming tomorrow and wonder if I will be able to listen to music with it.

I am on the alpha#4 to thanks for anyone that can help me

Update: i don't know what I did but the transit works on my phone now.
[Motorola Droid 3] shinobi1369:
I tried google music and the stock app that came with the build. No joy on either app. I figured out the droid forums app issue. Yeah it was stored on the sd card. I am on steel droid 4.5 till this is beta or final. Love the rom but was having texting issues as well. Couldnt deal with it. No worries though. Thanks for the help.
[Motorola Droid 3] shinobi1369:
My gallery worked fine. Couldnt watch my videos though. I know about the codecs. That is why i was perplexed about how neither music apps nor a third party app would work since gallery was working fine.
