[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Well, the dropping-wifi is a core feature that is broken in ICS, this is a major bug and it certainly affects usability and reliability.

However, I don't see how you can quantify any of what you suggested. I will agree the battery life is better, but it is not measurably faster, more reliable or more usable. In fact, it is less usable given core features that are broken. Maybe "reliable" is a wash... reliably, it doesn't work on wifi with ICS... But "much more usable"? This can't be quantified and is pure opinion.

Now, I think Pantech or AT&T made a mistake in promising ICS for this phone and then made another mistake in delivering it in a rush bending to the pressure of the noisy few. But hey, I do technical marketing for a network equipment company for a living. what do I know?

It's common to say "you get what you pay for". But in this case, it is more appropriate to say "you don't get what you don't pay for". And the fact is, the ICS upgrade was free and might be worth that much eventually if Pantech fixes core bugs. It's a lose-lose for Pantech.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourpointsix:
Why do the majority of your posts read so negatively? Stop being such a Debbie Downer. My phone worked great on ICS, right up to the moment I bricked it. I did not have the wifi issue you speak of. The ONLY issue I had after applying Pantech's ICS update was the fault of AT&T's contact app. As has been posted in the past, do a factory wipe, roll back to GB (and stay there if you love it so much), then update again. Seems you got a bad flash.

And the ICS update was NOT free. Believe me, the update cost was very much built into the cost of the phone when you bought it. This was one of those things that was promised initially, and factored into costs. Companies don't do stuff like this out of the goodness or their corporate hearts (usually).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
You can't fix that which you refuse to acknowledge as being broken.

Now there's a real endorsement of quality.

Maybe if you had been able to run it for more than a day, you'd have experienced some issues ... Here's hoping Pantech's QA team has higher standards for reliability.

BRICKED

Hi, I just bricked my phone restoring a backup , its completely bricked, but when i plug it into the pc, a driver install window pops up and says "Android Composite ADB Interface Installed" does anyone know what this means? is there a way i can fix my phone? any thought would be really helpful , thanks!!!

Had this issue just yesterday. A reboot fixed it alright. Happened only to the apps installed on SD Card.

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

It means your phone is still recognized as an android device, and you can at least flash it afresh. Install PDA net on your PC before doing so, however.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
It means you still have adb access, the phone may not be completely bricked. did you have a cwm recovery installed?

is so try opening up a commad promt window with the phone connected and in the command prompt type what is between the "'s

"adb logcat" then hit enter.

you should get a very active screen with lots of text. if you do that is a good sign, what ever you get tell me.

Do not download any cwm recovery from rom manager, they are not setup for a burst (presto) and have the wrong partition information.

BlasFamous: what is PDA net?

davepmer: i did have cwm recovery , and i did what you said but all cmd says is " waiting for device"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Level99:
I wouldn't exactly call it broken if some people on here are updating successfully without the problems you mentioned. I myself have also been running for the last four days without incident. I have no wifi drops, no sluggishness, nearly none of the issues you've mentioned. And I highly doubt the ICS update was designed so that just my and fourpointsix's phones would be working right.

I can't acknowledge something as broken if it is working as far as I can see.

In his previous post, he stated that he didn't use the correct version of CWM to flash GaBuzz's rom, hence his brick. It speaks nothing of the device's stock quality or reliability.

I don't know what you're getting at with comments about your profession stating "what do I know". No one is insulting anyone's intelligence here, and you seem to be taking things kind of personally in terms of issues and differing opinions to yours. I'm not trying to be confrontational in the least, but people are working very hard in this thread to further Burst development and most of your posts up until now have not been terribly constructive to that point. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
sounds like adb is not running, what was the backup that you tried to restore?

Have you tried pulling the battery holding both vol up and down and while holding them reinstall battery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Level99:
The problem is installing from Rom Manager or managing backups doesn't work until you flash recovery from Rom Manager. Unless I'm just dense as a brick and missed something in the config there, flashing is mandatory to open up those features.

kagedws6: can you contact Rom Manager folks to have them remove the Presto CWM listing in Rom Manager, or at least replace it with 5.0.2.7 until the issues with 6 have been resolved?

i did a full backup , and i just tried it but nothing happens
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
I suppose "terribly constructive" is to insist there is nothing wrong. I'm sure it's just my imagination when wifi doesn't work.

Now for what it's worth, if anyone on this list is interested in actually getting to the bottom of these issues, I am more than happy to reproduce them and I had a ton of logcat data yesterday while the phone was in the "no wifi" state. And I have also done quite a bit of research on the issue of the Media Server draining the battery completely in about an hour when running TuneIn Radio, but it looks like nobody has found a solution as far as I can see, besides "oh ICS just sucks real bad when playing music". So if anyone is interested in helping find the root cause of these issues, I am game. Can't happen as long as we just ignore issues, though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
Well sounds like the cwm recovery wrote or wiped the bootloader partition. Not sure of a way to get in to fix that.

The cwm recoveries floating around for download for the burst are modified versions of the ones on rom manager or clockworkmod. The partition information was changed for the Burst. The recoveries from rom manager or clockwork mod has partiton information that is one partition down from the Burst so if recovery trys to flash the boot.img it writes the boot.img to the bootloader partition. result brick.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwguenther:
well i did the back up on cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 , then i updated to cwm recovery touch 6.0.1.4 and everything worked fine , but before that my phone rebooted on its own , and it messed up my root , so now having 6.0.1.4 T , i did the restore , and then it froze so i took the batt out and then brick

Wow! I guess i am one lucky person. I upgraded to ICS the day it was released, rooted and installed CWM and have had no issues. Wifi works fine (use it every day), no random reboots, and nothing force closing. Maybe I should play the lottery :D

Maybe Google to the rescue?

http://www.flashmyandroid.com/forum/showthread.php?1266-Guide-Change-build-prop-for-game-loft-games&

that came up quickly

editing build.prop is likely to require some experimenting to get settings that work and also don't crash. It all depends on what the requirements are that are not met by your phone or are causing the conflict.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlasFamous:
Oh well, can someone please update pantech burst essentials thread with link to correct CWM recovery image to be used on burst (5.x please). Also, the discussion is getting entangled, so a nice set of instructions / FAQs for cleaned/deodexed ROMs with links will be a great help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
FWIW I never had any crashing, random reboots, etc., not with ICS or with GB.

And wifi works fine on unsecured networks, but drops after the device is asleep for a few minutes when I am on a WEP-secured network. WPA2 probably as well. I haven't determined all of the variables. However, I have to go to Europe next month and perhaps even next week and I am here to tell you not being able to consistently use wifi is going to be a complete and utter deal breaker for this phone. Around here I can always use 4G/3G but data roaming is $1000s/month!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigkevbosky:
Haven't noticed that but I am still having the 'bluetooth toggle switch' problem, even after flashing the stock rom a couple times.

When I leave my house I usually toggle off wi-fi and toggle on bluetooth to listen to podcasts in the car, and I'd say every fourth or fifth time I do that, it'll freeze the phone and cause it to reboot. Pantech tech support told me to factory reset the phone, but obviously that hasn't helped.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidPuddy:
I upgraded mine the day ICS was released. I don't have it activated yet, but I've been using it for multiple hours every day on my home WiFi.

I use WPA2, and have never had it drop signal. I use it to stream Google Play, and Tune In Radio. I use one of several Stereo BT headsets to listen, and the battery life has been fine.

Maybe my good luck will change when I activate it next month.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailman64:
Got a stupid question for you. In wifi advanced settings do you have your wifi set to always stay connected when the device is asleep? Just trying to help, as I am on wep secured network and don't have a problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Yes, of course, this is the default setting.

And FWIW I "forgot" and re-added the network, no help.

My office network seems to be working, it's WPA2 PSK. My home network is WEP, it breaks.

BTW if you google "ics wifi after sleep wep" you will find that this issue is not uncommon at all with ICS, and also not unique to the Burst. However, I have yet to find a solution for it in any of these forums, except a bunch of other folks who don't have the issue commenting that it is working for them and maybe try things like "wipe data" and "get a different wireless router".

EDIT :

Let me clarify. The issue is not that it doesn't connect to my wifi router after sleep. The problem is that it says it's connected, even the "up" and "down" arrows appear on the link status icon (blue bars), giving all indication that it's working, but it actually gets no data. My suspicion is that it is actually connected and sending/receiving data, but that it is failing to decrypt the data. But who knows! I don't know how to tell what the real issue is.

Turning to Airplane and back again fixes it. Unfortunately, this only fixes it while the phone is misbehaving in your hand. If it's in your pocket asleep it may be getting no wifi data for hours before you bother checking. So all those emails and skype calls that may have come in while the phone is asleep? Well nothing like airplane-toggling your phone to find your boss has been trying to get ahold of you for the past 8 hours while your phone decided to forget how to use wifi.

And BTW, whoever said TuneIn Radio was working, are you really talking about being able to run it more than 1-2 hours without it killing the battery? Can you tell me which version of TuneIn you are using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
I have had no issues as well.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Not sure where Rom Manager got the version of 6.0.1.4 for presto. Most of the ones I have seen have problems. There is one that seems to work very well on the Burst. Apparently they did not use it.

Your restore in 5.0.2.7 could have been an issue too.

5.0.2.7 and 6.0.1.4 use different backup methods. I never thought

About mixing the backups.

3) Google Now R3 by ReekoTubbs (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224)

Have been using it for a couple of days without any problems. I use Apex Launcher as launcher (get it from the market).

Everything is very smooth. No battery bug if installed correctly.

In order to install:

If already running davepmer's ICS ROM with old bootloader:

1) Download and place the file to external sdcard

2) Boot into CWM 5.0.2.7

3) Wipe Data/Factory Reset (in theory you can just wipe cache and leave data alone to keep your settings and apps)

4) Wipe Dalvik Cache in Advanced

5) Install zip from sdcard and choose the file.

6) Flash and reboot.

If you are on stock ICS:

1) Downgrade to Gingerbread (There are instructions and links to the necessary files in this thread. If your Burst is unlocked, it will become locked again. Old unlock code will work just fine.)

2) Install CWM 5.0.2.7

3) Flash davepmer's ICS ROM in CWM (regular, not deodex). You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32383548&postcount=1851

4) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

5) Wipe Dalvik Cache in Advanced

6) Install zip from sdcard and choose the file.

7) Flash and reboot.

Do it on your own risk.
