never seen or heard of this issue.. maybe try clearing data for the dialer/contacts app (do contacts only if you don't have stored contacts, I assume by now everyone syncs all their contacts to Google) and see if it goes away. you may have to do a data wipe if not, that usually will fix little things like that.

Somebody had the same issue with the gnex and it turned out to be an improperly installed theme chooser theme. If you have a theme installed , go back to system theme , reboot , install your theme and reboot again

Typically, when I receive a call, it will vibrate a few times, then the ringer will kick on, a few seconds later the screen comes on just the way you described with no Contact info appearing, then at the last minute all the contact info will pop up. It doesn't delay so badly that often; but once or twice my phone has buzzed/rang and the screen never came on so I miss the call.

My facebook contacts aren't syncing.
[Fascinate Android Development] .Ejekt:
Your FB contacts aren't syncing because that's not a feature Google wants you to have in ICS. They're trying to break into the social networking business so you're only able to sync with Google+ but not Facebook. If you want to sync with Facebook you need to use an app like HaxSync (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en)
[Fascinate Android Development] HuskerDad3:
Friendcaster syncs FB contacts too. It even does hi-res versions, but I had problems and had to sync std-res images first.

Steve,

Saw s-voice on your site...

Is that going to be in the next build?
[Fascinate Android Development] vlucchetti:
We need a scale made. awesome - freaking awesome - outstandingly freakingly awesome....

I am amazed at how much more you guys are pulling out of this and I stand in awe of your ability.

Um...I have the FaceBook app installed...and its syncs my friends info to my contacts, i don't use the calendar feature of Facebook, so cant comment on that. Skype and Google+ do the same. I actually had to remove Google plus due to it adding all the contacts in from a circle that has 300+ people in it...
[Fascinate Android Development] atomD21:
I'm not worried about my contacts syncing as much as Facebook crashes every time I try to post a status update or write on someone's wall... Did it with Gummy too... not sure what the hang up is, but oh well. And sagedieu, that's an unfair tease!

Mine does the exact same thing. I've uninstalled and wiped data numerous times, but every time I try to post/check-in/comment/whatever, it crashes. I guess I'm just using it to read status updates these days. Lame. Kind of defeats the purpose, eh?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

OK; so last night I tweaked my NST, enabled deep sleep, went from smoothass to lagfree and then a few hours later my phone rebooted itself into TWRP and now it won't restart, just stuck in a recovery boot. I tried flashing the NSTools fix zip, reflashing 37/gapps, reflashed CWM cm7 then the ROM, but nothing is breaking the loop. Also, even powered off, when I plug in the charger, it automatically boots into TWRP. What in the world happened here?
[Fascinate Android Development] shag_on_e:
He said S-voice causes problems when it's built into the ROM, that's why it's a separate flash.

~~~~There is no spoon~~~~
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
this, those two zips on the root of Steve's folder are s voice and twrp, neither of which work right when packaged with the rom. they both work great if you download and flash separately.
[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
recovery loop.

Help?
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Flashing the rom again from recovery without the option re-inject TWR should result in the roms stock recovery being flashed..Clockwork...if that isn't working...

U try starting fresh.....getting into Download mode and do an ODIN to stock, with the .pit file etc...that usually fixes these issues..
[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
I was able to get to stock recovery, but it still wouldn't let me out of recovery loop. I really wanted to avoid an Odin to Stock. The whole "restore" process is a PITA.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Even selecting "reboot to System" option in recovery results in it rebooting to recovery...that's odd...

Sounds like to me that something messed up the phones file system..it can't seem to find a a valid boot partion to boot to perhaps...only a ODIN with the .pit file..the whole revert to stock, then flash to custom rom goodnss...seems the only option to me..

There may be something u can do via adb...set bootmode or something...I am not very familiar with adb on the fascinate, never needed to use it...only used adb stuff on my Kindle Fire...

Maybe someone else has some ideas to fix a recovery loop...
[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
Yeah, I've never used adb, so that is totally foreign to me. I guess I'll Odin and reflash. Mmmm, nice clean unicorn!
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
A bit of a time saver is too use a custom stockish rom that has an ODIN version available..I believe GeWizz rom has that..so that u don't have to deal with pure un- rooted stock and have to do all the extra steps....etc..
[Fascinate Android Development] Jay Evans:
I've learned the hard way to keep a recovery folder on my Phone.

cwm fixed for cm7

THS Build 2

Latest Glitched AOKP Build

GAPPS

And to do a regular Nandroid backup (besides the normal Ti auto backups)

Flash (ODIN) CMW FFcm7

Three finger into CMW FFcm7 (wipe Data)

Flash THS

boot (wipe Data)

Flash AOKP

Boot

Recovery

Nandroid restore

I might of missed something in that list. But IIRC it should get you back up and running close to what you were before a crash.
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
speedingcheetah, please do not take offense but he would have been better off if you hadnt posted since you are mainly just speculating and don't have real experience on this.

in the future, keep a cm7 build and teamhacksung build 2 on your SD card at all times. if you ever accidentally get a boot loop, just flash cm7 (without injecting twrp) and let it boot, then flash ths build 2 and let it boot, then flash back to whatever aokp build you want. it works every time. you should not have to data wipe;if you get force closes and data wipes after this then do a data wipe and it will work fine.

I do a ton of testing and play with unstable things, I deal with recovery loops a few times a week and almost never have access to a computer, so this is a quick and easy way to fix things on the go.

I also recommend setting up titanium backup to automatically backup "all new apps and newer versions" and "all system data" every day or two, it really has no downside and you can set it to run while you're asleep. that way if you do need to do a data wipe, you can restore all your user apps with their data and then selectively restore things like contacts, messaging, phone, rom control, etc for system apps so you can get everything back to how it was pretty quickly and without having to manually do all your settings again.

I personally also use SMS Backup+ from the market, it uploads all my SMS and call logs to my Gmail. that way I can have my SMS delete messages automatically at 200 per thread to keep the app from slowing down, and everything is backlogged through Gmail and can be searched through or restored if I need to find something.

tl;dr schedule titanium backup and SMS backup, and just read the first part for an explanation on how to recovery from bootloops if you don't have a computer nearby.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
No offense taken.....but my my understanding was that no matter what he flashed, he still was in a recovery loop....and the first step in the sticky to un-brick is use ODIN...I have only been stuck a few times and needed to ODIN to fix them...

Well...whatever, it was just my suggestion...(which comes from a guy that re-installs his Windows OS install every few months..lol) I did mention that perhaps someone else has some advice.

Perhaps it would be beneficial to post that information in a separate thread tiled "recovery loop" (if it inst' already posted somewhere, I haven't looked very heavily)......may help if this happens to someone else...

Anyway, Thanks for posting.... your experience and knowledge is always welcome...and I am always interested in learning new things or learning how not to do things..:p

[Fascinate Android Development] sherdog16:
I know you can with TWRP. It's different but real nice if you don't like mashing your volume key a million times when flashing things
[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
As cheetah already said, I tried flashing CM7 and it would not boot. After I accidentally 3-fingered ICS in the past, I now keep a recovery folder, but regardless of the steps I took (maybe out of order?) it would always bring me back to recovery.

In any case, thanks everyone for the input. I have no idea what happened, but I did end up Odin-ing back to EH03, then built back to 37. I do have TiBu set to backup twice a week, so I'm using that. It becomes a problem because it always gets stuck on Angry Birds, like, for hours! So I just quit and exclude that from the restoration.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
yes all .zips are flashed in recovery....wipe both caches to be safe.
[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
OK, so after starting over fresh then restoring with TiBu, I'm getting a persistent android.process.media error and my home and search keys are non-responsive. They light up when touched, but do nothing.

I'm going to wipe data in recovery and try it again, but what from TiBu should NOT be restored to avoid this from happening?
[Fascinate Android Development] Relaxasaurus:
Don't forget to clear the caches in CWM. I usually just restore the apps and NOT the app data. Plus, you aren't restoring system apps are you? You just wanna backup/restore the user apps (the ones you download from the Play store).

Thanks to the devs responsible for this latest build. I finally got the nerve to try some OC'ing and this ROM flies while being super stable.
[Fascinate Android Development] adamklo:
Well, I typically restore system apps, and I know that's what causes my system problems. I do restore app data, but it's really only for Angry Birds because the games are so huge.

With TWRP, when you wipe data is automatically wipes cache.
[Fascinate Android Development] shag_on_e:

Found solution. Build.prop

Sent from Samsung Fascinate running ICS.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
here is what i normally do when upgrading to a new build.

boot into recovery via power menu

perform a nandroid back up

wipe data

install latest aokp37.zip

install gapps

boot once

reboot via power menu into recovery

advance restore data only from the nandroid backup you just made.

for some reason restoring any app/system data from tibu always gives me problems. the method i use above always works flawless. also on getting out of a ics boot loop; if you would read section 9 of my guide, it states to flash cm7 twice. it will normally bootloop recovery on the first atempt because your not in the correct version of cwm recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] devichris:
not sure if anyone cares/still has this issue but i found a way to get around the bug were when you go to type a txt right after someone txt you and nothing types.

So I just finished up the pending notifications counter. I grab the code from cyanogen himself then prettied it up for ICS. I also add for support for custom lockscreen targets from 2-8 targets, now you pick how many you want.... now... Calculus.

I don't know if sage was talking about those or the navbar widgets or the other thing firstEncounter is working on. If its the firstEncounter thing I dont know when it will be ready but even the tests i'm playing with now are totally ridiculous.
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
I was talking about all these things, they're all great. he just sent me the screenshot of the notification counter, which looks pretty cool, and I played with his test apk of the other thing he's working on.

you can just use SMS popup, I do and it works great.

Just throwing this out there (since I'm not sure if it's possible) but anyone try to Kang the MIUI SMS way of things. I liked the way it would show it on the lock screen by scrolling the entire text, wake the screen (this feature is optional), it would pop up a quick reply notification where it would show up on the screen no matter what you're doing - display the message - and allow you to reply without even opening the messaging app (also optional if you didn't like it doing that). If you have used MIUI you'd know what I'm talking about. Again not sure if it's even portable.
