[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ntellegence:
I'm on foxstar and have no echo problems. Mobile hotspot wasn't working but someonw posted a fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Symphonyx87:
I've been playin' around w/ a few of 'em also, so far the best I've found = (Rom) IML74K_Ics_Perfection (Fully ICS Themed) 04.03.12 (Fixed Tweaks). Been using it as my DD and not had any issues. I hardly use auto-rotate, and theres an app for that, same goes for the power/restart function, and I haven't had any call quality / echo issues reported w/ this rom at all. Battery life isn't the greatest, about 8-10hrs of frequent use, but I use Juice Defender or whatever it's called to get the most out of it. I happen to have a charger damn near wherever I go, so I don't notice it much :-P

All the other roms I've tried haven't allowed me to change LCD density (dumb, but important to me) and have had freezing / lag issues for me. Best of luck on whichever you choose!

TL/DR So far I haven't noticed anything that would steer the average user away from using it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
what tasker profile did you use for auto-rotate? and how does it work conceptually?

mind explaining please...does it work on the camera orientation too? got really tired to flipping pics after taking them...its mainly the only reason i reverted back to GB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nib:
I installed and was using IML74K_Ics_Perfection RC2 for a day, but had to revert back to rooted stock. This particular rom was great, overal very smooth and snappy, but some little things here and there were bugging me. As far as i understand it will be the same no matter what you install untill we get a proler kernel. Things like shutdown/reboot, skype not working, rotation, wifi calling etc.

But if things above are not a big deal for you, I can honestly recommend this rom. Probably will not find better
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] intricatedesign:
hahaha you are the man for saying that. Although strangely enough if some people are curing the illusive call echo by taking off the case that is just weird because yes, i agree, its a ROM issue. Also, for me personally I noticed that turning off noise reduction while in call cured my echo issue. But again that seems to be a hit or miss cure as well.

Been using blackedition for a few days now and it runs smooth aside from a few hiccups. instagram doesnt work at all, camera is weird-ish, the rotation thing (duh) and a fc every once in a while. Battery life is excellent around 14 HRs and ya... mad ups to raver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
The differing results with the case-based echo makes me wonder if there are two separate issues. One being like the person earlier explained where the phone's noise reduction is whacked, another being just a bad echo bug in the ROMs.

Sent from my beastly Galaxy S 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] total_noob_1:
So are you trying to say that you have fixed the rotate problem or are you using a "band aid" like the rest of us?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shovelhead83:
How do you bandaid?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] narcopolypse:
First off, this is not the most idiotic thing you've ever heard. Just like you've never taken a 100 hour nap and you've never been so hungry you could eat a horse. With that said... YES, it is caused by the case. It is also caused by the ROM. These are two separate issues. The echoing issue caused by the ROM is random and after removing my case I found that my phone is not afflicted by the ROM's echo problem, only the case echoing problem.

Next time look before you leap.

This does not work for the camera since the camera framework ignores the state of the system rotation. Since it is the framework and not the app that rotates this is an issue with all 3rd party camera apps as well.

As for the Tasker profile, you will need to install either Rotation Locker (Free) or Ultimate Rotation ($2.99) as you will need their plugin. Create a profile for each direction.

To rotate to Portrait set your profile trigger for State > Orientation > Right Side.

For Landscape set is to State > Orientation > Upside Down.

And for Reverse Landscape set it to State > Orientation > Standing Up.

Please note that you can only use Reverse Landscape if you buy Ultimate Rotation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] total_noob_1:
There are apps that you can download to force the phone to rotate to landscape mode. I'm using rotation locker simply because I can press and hold the search key and select it from the option menu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
i've ran racing's, raver's tw, and am on megamix and i didn't/don't have the echo on any of them, just the rotate bug and greatly decreased battery life. i specifically checked the echo bug because i had a phone interview and needed to make sure my phone was ok (otherwise i was going to flash back to gb for it).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
There is a rotation fix patch in the dev section. I have applied it and it works great. they say it can be applied to any ics rom. get it while its hot folks!

Heres a little back story... my phone was stolen, I am with tmobile, I went into the store to replace the phone. Turned out since I had transferred from my contract to prepaid I still owed money on my contract so I wasnt covered with insurance, and they couldnt activate a new phone for me.

I called tmobile in the morning who helped straighten out my balance, but I didnt want to pay for a phone through air mail because I need the phone ASAP immediately. I had an HTC Amaze.

I went into the store where they told me they could still NOT activate me a phone, but they could add my new phone to my previous stolen phones pre paid plan. (its alot more complicated than this, but for the point of this threads sake...)

So basically if I bring in a phone they can activate my old plan and keep my old number. So I found this site http://www.everbuying.com/Wholesale-Cell-Phones-b-22.html but I do not know which phone is which because they are different names than the name brand phones.

I really really want the Galaxy S II from Samsung...or Nexus from Verizon... but which phone is close here? Which is worse? How can I find details of the best phone so I can get this situation straightened out, and get all of this horribke experience behind me?

These three are similar to the GSII Specs Hereut they all lack something. For one they are all 3G speeds. They wont let me buy the GSII at the store without paying full price so I am trying to find something close if not exact that is closer to my price range. They want $600 for the GSII at most I have like $400 and that is double what I prefer to pay...making payments is not a problem.

Here is something similar to the HTC Amaze but it has Android 4.0 on it. I was considering it but I really dont want the Amaze again...thats the one I just had that was stolen.

Otherwise thanks for the feedback, I am getting my friend one of the cheap $40 iphones so I guess well find out how fake they are or real. + 1

Sounds like your phone is trying to auto update to zv8 but it cant because you have cwm. You need to freeze the update or update it using mts new easy method found in development section

It's doing that because of the latest LG Update to ZV8
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
I noticed something interesting with the latest ICS leak. I have a black/blue note and I flashed the DAG alpha rom and the phone works great. It reboots properly, SMS always works...in general its great.

My girlfriends white note, i followed the same procedure, same rom and hers is actually showing all the bugs everyones reporting. Her sms stops working, sometimes camera FCs, cant reboot using the menu and in general seems buggy.

It is definately interesting how the rom acts completely different on my girlfriends phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CXENTE:
Well maybe its true.. I have the white one, the camera is laggy, the calculater is also laggy browser too... Ect
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juzz86:
I generally find that restoring backups of apps and data leads to a lot of issues arising after a new flash, especially between a major version.

For the record I don't do backups, and haven't experienced any of the issues mentioned in other threads apart from poor signal. This was the same with the i9220 ICS leak on the N7000 - ran perfectly fine for me, but everyone had random FCs and whatnot, and found it unstable.

It may take longer to re-install all your apps from the Market one-by-one, but you generally reap the rewards in stability after a fresh flash, especially jumping between Android versions.

Of course everyone's mileage may vary, and I know a lot of people swear by their backups :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I have a white one and have had absolutely no issues. I would definitely have her re flash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] basenode:
I have the Black Note from Rogers and I have not seen any issues other than TWLauncher Force Closing a few times. I run Nova Launcher Now and it stopped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vpkb:
2x this, only takes me 15 mins to reinstall apps. Paid/tried TB, don't care for it.

I flashed ics 4 times, every which way and still have the annoying TW crash. Tried other launcher and they are laggy, although, Nova seems to be the smoothest but still laggy.

I ended up just flashing back to stock GB. Hopefully, official ICS will be released soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] djxcee:
I have a white note and it is running ics fine. I even stored all my apps (around 160) from a GB ROM and no problems beside tethering not staying on.

Used my backup pro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juzz86:
I'm running a white model, with the 'official' ICS leak and Nova Launcher Prime.

For those of you experiencing the 'Unfortunately, TwLauncher has stopped' crash, try a factory data reset (not a re-flash). You will always ALWAYS get a crash on the first Tw launch after a fresh flash, however I got numerous crashes so affected a factory reset and cache wipe through CWM. This fixed it for me and I haven't had one (I'm back and forth between TW and Nova).

For those experiencing lag, especially in third-party Launchers, there is a thread in the Development section called 'build.prop tweaks'. Get yourself a root-enabled editor (Root Explorer works fine), and edit the build.prop file to include all the mentioned tweaks (the Dalvik VM heap-size ones already appear, so you can just edit them - add the others in manually to the end of the build.prop file, you can use a # on lines that you don't want the machine to read for comments).

As an aside, you may or may not see an improvement in battery life with the 'power collapse' settings. For those with poor battery life now, try it out for certain. For those with good battery life currently (mine's better than GB by a long shot), when I tried this I lost power considerably quicker. You can easily edit those two lines out if need be.

These have improved overall zip for me measurably, and especially in Nova. Also, changing the scroll animations in Nova will have a marked impact on the overall performance for you.

Haptic feedback issues?

Hey ive got a white Note and i seem to have an issue (albeit small) where the vibration for the home soft key is delayed. Not a show stopper, but is pretty annoying. So could this be some sort of discrepancy between the internation Note's ICS build theyre also working on? (international has a hard home button, so i presume it wouldnt vibrate when pressed)

Anyway i was just wondering if anyone else had this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Toaster Strudels:
I have that vibration thing too...but it doesn't annoy me. It kinda turns me on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
I have a black note on Rogers. I tried both the collective and alpha 1 roms and had a weird phantom vibration thing happening randomly. I had restored apps but not data using Titanium Backup. I flashed alpha 2 but this time installed all apps straight from the market, no TB, and I haven't had any issues or force closes at all, not even the TW launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MaddMan420:
3x this. I've never done backups for any of my rooted, rom'ed Android tabs and phones. Have yet to see any issues aside from the general bugs everyone has with the ICS leak.

Google does basically everything I need in the cloud.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
My Notes performance became unbearable. But I reinstalled the ICS leak and this time reinstalling my apps on an as needed basis. The result has been no lagging or fcs.

So that leads me to believe my issues have been application related. I will eventually find out which one but I have my suspicions.

Sorry for the somewhat stupid question.

My One X is sitting at home, of course I'm out of town until tomorrow, so when I get home can I just pop my micro sim from my iPhone 4s into the OneX and be good to go?

I think a call to ATT to swap out data plans and change my voice mail is needed if I remember correctly.

Thanks

Yes just pop in your iPhone micro sim into one x and away you go.

You have to call att. The voicemail is different and sometimes the data plan won't work.

Just pop the sim and you are good. Since you already have the iPhone plan, data will work on all devices except lte phones.

I am fairily android savvy so i can most likely figure out all that stuff you know? But if I do go the AT&T route does the phone work flawlessly just like it would as if I had the T-mobile version? Or will battery life take a hit? etc?
