Anyone knows how to fix the Android upgrade optimizing every app on every boot up?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xRowanx:
might I suggest chrome? It's super fast on this rom :D

No current workout. But the app list should start dwindling down. Meaning: I have 153 app. Now it's down to optimizing 60
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fmarion:
I put 4.03 though a bit of a workout at a 9 hour event yesterday. Mostly FB updates (using the FB app) over T-Mobile data network with some texting, browsing, and a few calls. The battery was at 4% when I returned home.

I did have a few slow-downs during the day where it took several seconds to respond to commands. Long enough that I was digging in my pocket for a tool to remove the back plate and battery before it responded. I also received an error message something like, Unfortunately the UI has stopped responding, that kept repeating when I closed the message window. I had to perform a battery removal reboot and my custom wallpaper was reset to the stock wallpaper.

I couldn't figure out how to recreate or identify the cause of the slow-downs or UI crash.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xRowanx:
Did you do a full wipe? And fixed permission after?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] simplyrafa8:
Idk how the hell some of you are getting slow data speeds, it makes no sense. I can say the exact opposite about mine. I live in a city where there isn't even 3g yet, all I have is EDGE and even I can see that data speeds have greatly increased. I used to dread trying to load something up over EDGE because it would take like 5 minutes, now I can load up web pages in at least a minute or less, and that's a major improvement. I also went somewhere where I had HSPA+ and I was just fine. Like a previous user recommended, try out chrome, it's amazingly fast. If that doesn't do the trick then maybe you guys have flashed a radio that isn't very compatible with ICS?

Having to pull the battery multiple times

So, I'm new on XDA and all, but I have taken the time to do some searches.

First of all, Zip, thank you for your time and effort to provide us with such a stable rom. It's clean and works flawlessly (when it works, for me anyways).

Now, the issue that I am having:

From time to time (when it's really bad, it's usually 10-15 times a day), my screen refuses to turn on after tapping the power button/home button. If I leave it be, after 15 minutes or so, it will reboot, and tell me that a SIM card was added and needs to restart. When I don't have 15 minutes to spare, I end up pulling the battery and restarting the phone.

I've posted this bug on Zip's bug report page, but I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issues and if anyone has found a remedy for the situation.

Sometimes, it's very apparent when it'll happen because when I press the power button to turn off the screen after use, the screen off transition lags like no other.

I've done full wipe of user data/cache on every flash, 4.01, 4.02, and 4.03, but I still seem to have similar issues. I just flashed 4.03 last night and it has only happened once for now, but obviously the problems still exists. Could it be an app that I have that is causing issues?

One more thing

I work at a small store where they don't have a wireless router.

They set up a wireless hotspot (ad-hoc) for us via their computer.

Before I upgraded to Creamed Glacier, I was on Cyanogen mod and it was able to detect said hotspot, but ever since the upgrade, I am not able to find the hotspot, even though it isn't hidden or anything.

Did I miss a certain setting that allows me to do so when I looked through the settings?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinpanalley:
Well, there's no solution there, just observations and ideas. I've commented a lot on that thread myself. In my opinion it's predominantly a software issue. Some ROMs are great on my phone and then another ROM will be awful. MIUI and Cyanogen always work well. It also matters which keyboard you're using. The stock keyboards hardly ever work for me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
If you haven't solved the problem by now, then go back to gingerbread dude. You've brought this up multiple times within the last week. I'm sure many people have given you some suggestions by now (I even quoted the post above this for you) and I even said try editing the build.prop if it comes down to it. Just quit posting for a little while and search around XDA...You're the only one I know of that's having this problem to this extent...

Search.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DylanTheVillian:
Well, I read it and used it. Used a paper clip to pull up on that little gold tab on the back of my phone and what do you know, no more keyboard issues with any keyboard on any rom......

Have you tried that yet?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
I've done it too a few months ago, I grabbed a little safety pin and pried it up. Doesn't really seem to occur anymore. Not sure if it actually does the trick though.

Bug Report

Here is my bug report for 4.03. Hope this helps....

1 - every reboot andriod is upgrading apps. This did keep going down but then settled at 103, and has been consistent ever since.

2 - random reboots... Not sure if this is related to number 3 below.

3 - missing sim card issues that others have discussed.

4 - lockups.... The device will lock up and require a battery pull. It is not clear what is causing this, it has happened several times during various work loads.

All of these issues appeared for me in 4.03 and did not happen in 4.02. 4.03 does seem faster then 4.02 and the battery life also seems longer in 4.03 as well.

Thanks for all the roms!!

Prospero
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thehesiod:
I resolved the missing sim problem by disabling some power optimizations I had turned on after installing the from.

I also noticed that I got the power lockup problem once when I had a keyboard input window open while the power saver turned off the screen. I was able to get the screen back after hitting the back button.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kingsteve032:
I would use chrome but one thing is keeping me from using it. The double tap to zoom not being there.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinpanalley:
To he honest, no I haven't. It seemed like people were suggesting that it didnt do anything but I'll try it.

I'm not sure which version of chrome you tried. But I guarantee you, I have chrome and it zooms in when you double tap :)

I'm using Chrome 14.1 build 155

it does work long time ago i did it and problem never came back.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rldstover48:
Out of curiosity what radio are you using.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DylanTheVillian:
I had to use some force to get it bent up a bit, just watch it and be careful. You only want to bend it up a little, not have it sticking straight up. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinpanalley:
Ok, I tried it, reeeeally gently. I may not have even done anything :p. But I'll try it for an hour.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oniddy:
b gently but make sure u move it at least some so it touches the back cover hope i helped :eek:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DylanTheVillian:
Did it work?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinpanalley:
Honestly, I'm not convinced that it's making 100% of a difference. THere are still letters that it's sticking on.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jrlatta:
is anyone having problems with face unlock? it worked on icecoldsammich but i was having to pull the battery all the time so i swithced to this and i cant get face unlock to work, i get a black box
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rldstover48:
I pulled my build prop up to take a look and the only line I have in there is the hsdpa, so its OK just to plug the other lines in and reboot and see as long as their in the same section.

Thanks I'd like to check it out
[myTouch 4G Android Development] simplyrafa8:
To be honest with you, I think I'm using the stock radio. I have never flashed a radio haha
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinpanalley:
Ok, this very likely did the trick. I haven't had any issues yet in several programs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] twe3ky:
Not sure if this has been reported but Google Goggles is kind of out of wack when you open it. Also freezes phone if you use it a couple times.

you can add those other lines, that way, they help when your connection is in those modes (edge, etc.)

Has anyone tried this procedure? Results?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Bangincrazy:
Have to agree with the four issues listed. I've had random reboots with the phone in my pocket and while receiving calls. The phone does lock up as if all the memory was being used, possible memory allocation issue?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
really, its a pretty benign modification...try it, if it doesnt do anything positive just revert back
[myTouch 4G Android Development] paulvp:
I'm having the same issues other than the missing sim card issue. Overall very usable though! I skipped from 4.01 to 4.03 so I can't comment on if it's better/worse than 4.02 but I would assume better.

Thanks a ton for the rom Zips, I've been using it for awhile now but finally hit enough posts to post in this thread and say thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] zipsnet:
FAQ!

Why Do I get: Android is upgrading?

The answer to your question is: Because this ROM is deodexed !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

deodex: easier to tweak, lighter on ram, heavier on space.

odex: easier on space, tougher on tweaking and ram usage.

So are you going to Fix/change it? NO

I posted several Bugs but you haven't fix'em wassup with that?

I'm NOT going to read every single post, from my OP, you should log your bugs/issues @ http://code.google.com/p/zipsnet-ics/issues/list

Trackpad Wake

I'm very new to ICS, I just flashed 4.03 for the first time (I'd been using CM 7.x until now). There's one feature that I found immensely helpful that I'm not seeing yet.

That feature was the ability to wake via the Trackpad button. I've dug all around the settings, and I can't seem to find it (although, I did find the volume wake and menu wake settings).

Is there any way to wake the phone via the trackpad with this ROM?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] paulvp:
This has been asked a bunch throughout this thread but as of now the feature is not available.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinpanalley:
Just had a crash and reboot during a phone conversation and when it started up again it got a SIM card issue and crashed and rebooted again. Shame, I'll have to uninstall. I use this phone for business and I love the ROM but I can't have that happening during a call. Sucks I can't keep it. :(

Why would you even risk your Business line like that ...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smirkis:
dang, my camera was working fine for a few days now it just crashes on launch. I wiped cache and fixed permissions and it still crashes. anyone else have this issue?

edit, that was weird. I opened instagram to use the camera in the app and took a photo, then reopened my camera and it works again. that was weird. I rebooted like 5 times and it was still crashing until I used instagram cam.

Try elginsk8r's straight CM9. Only ROM I've been able to use without the random lockups and reboots. Made a 45 minute call this morning and listened to 45 minutes of music at the gym at lunch without a hitch.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] anthonya1g:
I'm getting 3-4 random reboots a day. This is the first time I get annoyed with reboots :\
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinpanalley:
Ditto. But not the first time I get annoyed. :)

Removing it now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
You two are so discouraging, if you're going to post about uninstalling a ROM in it's own thread, at least say why and be more specific, like what were you doing at the time of the reboots and if you installed any mods, kernels and etc.

Don't make a joke out of it, sorta disrespectful you know?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tinpanalley:
Whoa.. ok. Sorry, didn't mean any disrespect whatsoever. Plus, all my comments are continuations of things I already mentioned. If nobody else needs to be policed for completely random and out of nowhere comments, I don't see why I can't be given a little leeway for a comment made as an addition to an already occurring conversation. Pop into the middle of any thread for any ROM and you'll see messages, mid-conversation that don't feel the need to remind everyone exactly what they're talking about.

Besides, I even went further and expressed that I found it a shame that it wasn't working for me. I wasn't trying to offend anyone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el_smurfo:
Perhaps not the way to express themselves, but I have been very discouraged that the frequent reports of reboots and lockups have been met with "mine doesn't"...maybe not in this thread, but in some of the other ICS threads. I have tried to catch a log and found some strange behavior, but was told in another thread that it was because I didn't wipe (I always format all partitions fully). This ROM is great for a lot of folks and I wish I could use it, but there is a growing group who are not able to run it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] zipsnet:
It's ok, everybody is entitled to their opinions. I wish them the best whatever ROM they decide to use.

Thanks I2IEAILiiTY !

[myTouch 4G Android Development] anthonya1g:
Excuse me? I never said I was uninstalling the ROM. I was just pointing out that I'm getting random reboots, which are very annoying. Like I said, they are RANDOM reboots. I got a couple of them while; sending a message with Google Voice, during various calls, listening to music in Pandora and PowerAmp, playing Temple Run, and when the phone was "sleeping". Never had them before until I updated to v4.03.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Well sorry I don't read every single comment anymore b/c a lot of you guys have been doing more complaining about issues rather than reporting the issues, plus you should be reporting issues to that link zipsnet has dedicated for reporting bugs and etc.

I use titanium backup to backup apps.

I've been using v3.11 as my dd for a while now and I've tried updating and going to other rom's but I love how custom I was able to make this and the stability so always am back to this. That being said, I'd love to know anymore customization I can do...specifically the animated notification pulldown, but even a fully transparent pulldown to match my transparent status bar. Anyones help with this would be greatly appreciated. And plz keep up the good work zip I'm just glad to be rocking a functional ics rom on this phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thisishoot:
I use titanium to back up my texts. I don't have any problems with force closes and what not.

Also to those who are having reboots, what recovery are you using? For some reason, I got random reboots when I used 4ext. When I switched back to clockwork and did a clean install, the reboots haven't happened for the past 3 days.

Try running fix_permissions as soon as you do a fresh clean install. I also did that too.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] paulvp:
I'm using Clockwork. I did a full wipe of my device, flashed the Rom and ran fix permissions. I did finally notice the "new SIM added" (or something along those lines) error and it tells me to reboot my device for my network to work, then my device reboots automatically. This has only happened 3 times since I flashed yesterday but it doesn't appear that there is any exact cause. The first time it happened I was using Twitter, then second time it happened my device was on my nightstand charging and the third time it happened is when I ended a phone call.

Pretty strange however not frustrating enough for me to switch Roms at this time. Hopefully it gets worked out but I'll wait patiently.

Also does anyone have the exact error? I haven't been able to memorize it or write it down before my device reboots automatically. I don't see it listed on Zips bug tracker list: http://code.google.com/p/zipsnet-ics/issues/list

All of you complaining with call waiting problems...idk what the hell is wrong. It must be your phones or you didn't do a full wipe. I was never able to input on this situation but today I finally got the chance. I was on the phone with my girlfriend for about 20 minutes, then my mom called me and so I answered and it was just fine. My mother was able to hear be just fine and when I hung up it immediately went back to my phone call with my gf. After about 5 minutes my sister called (bad timing from family huh? Haha) and once again same thing. She heard me just fine, my gf's call was put on hold, and it returned to it just fine when I hung up on my sis.

Soooo yeah... I don't know what you all did wrong but, I don't have any problems with call waiting.

Oh and I ended up being on the phone with my gf for about an hour and a half, and not once did the call drop... so yeah...

Same exact issues. I ve been having them in every ICS Zips realeased (no disrespect whatsoever, the guy did a fantastic job). Initially i thought it was the performance settings. I tried every single frequency and governor; no result. Then i was told to switch the kernel to shot of awesomeness, which i did.. But i still experience the above issues. I cannot understand what is causing this. At least for the random freezes while talking on the phone, i managed to decrease the freezing frequency by locking my phone while talking (so the screen wont light up).

I can give logcats or run tests if needed to identify the root of this problem.

Once again, great work Zips! Keep it up!
