[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
No way in heaven, hell, or earth that this is the last ICS build for the N7000 by Samsung... That's just plain stupid to think that given the number of GB builds released. I am impressed by the first release
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tian105:
my note runs significantly hotter after the update/./
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goodm7sn:
i dunno what could be wrong with your ics update but for me the Screen Dynamic mode is "remembered" with me , rebooted a 100 times , even took battery out for a few mins and the setting is still on dynamic mode...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sutekidane:
did you tap on the "Done" option instead of pressing back/home right after you tapped on the dynamic radio button? that is often overseen for a lot of people.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Drakosha:
You're right :( I haven't noticed this. Sorry. Point "4" is removed from my list. But other points remain, with the most significant been the overall slowness and memory\battery drain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smelme:
issues found so far:

1. when opening camera, a tip shows but the touchscreen is unresponsive, had to wait for it to go away. but after that, the camera is ok.

2. my data connection isn't working!! :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] slinbin:
Yes (2end, and stopped using swype even if i liked it)

(ps. updates to ics from stock, battery was terrible 1st day, killed samsung social hub and now all is good execp swype)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azulsa:
No S Note premium suite and apps crashing

My apps, including the camera, crash all the time. Plus, it didn't install the premium suite (S Note)

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goodm7sn:
i noticed that as well , only for the first time , then all is good..

also i noticed that i cant mute the camera shutter sound !!! even if i am on silent mode !!! anyone else having this bug ??

how can i fix that ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Latoc:
Going from Gingerbread to ICS without wiping is like upgrading your computer from XP to Seven without formating the hard drive.

It could work, but you are bound to have a lot of problems down the road.

Just backup your stuff and wipe the phone clean, after a good internal and external (if any) sdcard format. You will find that everything works after doing that.

It's worth it, believe me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I found the screen unresponsiveness a deal breaker. I'm going to give it a few more weeks and then downgrade. I had yet to feel that I had to change devices since I got my phone in December, but this build makes the device ... horrible. Unusable in my honest opinion. Having to click something multiple times is just... not good business!!!

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Postmonkeh:
i was running a rooted stock rom and upgraded to the lpy rom using the guide here without too many problems.

the update went smoothly, though afterwards when i tried to update a few apps through the play store i kept getting low memory errors even though i'd plenty of space.

i'd read a lot of the threads about the possible bug when using cwmod recovery to perform any file system tasks but most people seemed to have decided it was a one off problem that bricked a device so i took the chance and did a backup and wiped my cache and dalvik cache, since then the play store seems to be working fine.

even before wiping the cache i found that adwex launcher was much, much smoother than it had been under gingerbread, in fact everything seems a little more fluid. i'm currently trying out nova launcher for a more ics like experience and it's really nice.

dunno if i'd recommend you install the german rom unless you really know what you're doing, but i'm glad i did. i'd also say it probably would be a better idea to follow the advice above and do a full wipe first but it's something i'll leave for another time, i'm hoping to eventually move to cm9 if they get the s pen fully working in their final rom

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

zkyevolved - i've actually found screen responsiveness has improved a lot. on gb i found that swype was a bit iffy sometimes and would break up my words if i moved my finger too quickly. under ics the swype trail moves a lot more quickly and i haven't noticed any problems with unresponsiveness except for 30-40 seconds after i boot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] E90 Commie:
I have noticed the reduced screen responsiveness too. Especially when I resized widgets with GoLauncher and it didn't track the finger movement on the right side.

Otherwise, everything works good beside an issue I noticed already on Criskely V2 LP6: the camera doesn't like the combination of WidgetLocker and pattern unlock. I have it as a shortcut from WL and when I use it, it gives me a blank picture when the camera opens after unlocking.

This never happened with GB so I feel that there are some kind of incompatibility when the camera is accessed from the lock screen on a device where you use a security lock like the pattern. It seems like it doesn't start up properly while the device is locked.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] karapoutsoglou:
i/o (?) bug still there...

after installing more than 500 apps and moved many to external class 10, 8 giga sd card, the phone started to hot reboot all the time!

i really cannot stand the abysmal samsung.

same thing happened to sgs 1 with early gingerbread until someone made a good kernel...

do they even have devs in sammy hq?

(hapened to both rooted stock ics and midteam rom....)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
That's your sdcard with bad blocks or you have an app moved over that just does not like to be there. Or you have too many apps on sdcard and during your bootup, when they are all being recognized, it's taking too long for a service to start.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smelme:
YOU HAVE JUST SAVED MY INTERNET LIFE! Thanks!!

p.s. did factory reset, data is working now! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] karapoutsoglou:
the card is ok,happens the same with 3-4 different ones and ts one is new and top of its class.

how can i find that app that does not want to be there? or fix the bootup service?

and how do you explain that in sgs 1 with cm9 ics everything worked perfectly with the same apps and the same configuration?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
OK I jumped in the Pool....Running CheckRom Abyss as noted in sig

This was my process.

Downloaded LPY Stock only Extracted Tar,

Flashed TAR ONLY using Mobile Odin over CheckRom battery was at 57% (no CFRooT )

Everroot checked

Inject Superuser checked

Inject Mobile Odin Checked

All wipes checked

Flashed and booted Booted in about 8 minutes No Problems booting up or registering on ATT

All apps were downloaded from Google Play automatically

I then used Titanium backup to restore data ONLY to apps

Set up MediaNet VPN using APN Manager App.

VERY smooth. so far but I have not loaded up my GoLauncher and the 35 widgets yet LOL

Root Explorer writing fine to System.

Google Play is FCing now and then in the BG. Hopefully only need to clear its cache

Recovery is Samsung Clockwork Recovery never used at all in process. No CF Root kernel Needed. I am guessing Mobile Odin injects Root in the flashing process.

Did all of it without a Computer.

So far so good.

( I may do a factory reset on this ROM just to ensure there are no straggling system apps from 2.3.6 if I sense any issues)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] taliani2:
gb is the king

battery drain issues am back to gb pointless update :mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skillz9669:
Currently on stock lpy unrooted, no issues at all. Battery life is superb for me. I use my camera and play games on it a lot ( have 3 kids lol ). At the end of a 12 hour day i had about 38% battery left, charged last night and on day 2 as of now I am currently have 46% after 14 hours and 4 minutes. My phone is running like butter and have had 0 force closes or reboots as of yet. I truly believe all the issues out there are with the rooted version, which I will just wait until its all sorted out and then re-root my phone :)

PS: for anyone not on ICS with this device, honestly I noticed it added almost nothing as far as functionality or ease of use that we didn't have before, except that I can use the notification pull down without unlocking. So I will be honest that I am kinda upset with the update itself :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lipsin:
Before giving up on ics you should at least try the following:

1. Uncheck all system sound similar to the attachment

2. Check if your Latitude is signed on.

3. If you have multiple gmail account, sign them all out from gTalk.

I was coming from stock GB with Abyss. Battery use is ofcos no better than the previous setup but i believe it is due to the custom kernel.

Overall i am pretty happy with ICS at yhe moment with rooms for improvement.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vulpix:
Am I the only person having no issues with this update? Other than the reduced sensitivity which I also encountered, it's been fine for me. Apps run fine, no lag, battery life phenomenal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intolaomair:
Lock screen issue

hey guys,

Im having a strange issue with the official ics release.Sometimes when i press the unlock button to wake up the phone, the screen brieflly flashes the home screen and then the lock screen comes up.Anyone having this issue too?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vjoom:
That what I was thinking. This update seem like a nightmare for some people. Not really sure why. I dont have any issue so far. It is possible that most of these problems are user error?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blitzkriegh:
anyone experienced screen flickering during charging? it's like the pixelated screen seen in some kernels in GB? im on lpy stock with stock kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NutZInTheHead:
Ok I flashed back to GB last night and with a 100% charged battery I let my phone idle and next morning I had a drop to 96% and thats within 9 hours.

So for me:

ICS (LPY)

8 hours of idle

battery dropped charge from 100% to 89%

Stock GB 2.3.6

9 hours of idle

battery dropped charge from 100% to 96%

Same settings pretty much for the two scenarios.

Other than the battery problem many games froze on load screen.

And also problems with wi-fi.

I will put ICS back on at a later date because at the moment I really need my phone to stay stable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vulpix:
Naw I doubt it. I have a feel 95% of the apps out there in the market wasn't updated properly for ICS or something. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] awesome-member:
Erratic wifi ,turns wifi off as soon as it detects no data request,

Really annoying while listening to internet radio(or other streaming services) ( buffers on wifi , then wifi deactivates ,then it tries to buffer via hspa+ ,then wifi kicks back in dissrupting the stream Grrrrrrrrrr.) I've managed to clock in more than 100 MB of cellular data while wifi being turned on)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] evil-doer:
seems to be what im seeing. gb used to drain around 0.5% per hour idle. ics is draining 1.0+% per hour idle.

and actually using the phone with the screen on? drains like a mofo. much worse.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uccoffee:
another issue is that the "copy , cut , paste , clipboard" popup has relocated to a less user friendly position. And it is icon only without lable, need to get used to the new icons. I experience once the new "copy , cut , paste , clipboard" did not pop up at all, a reboot solved the problem thou.

I m still waiting for update for the incoming call fail when using vehicle dock problem.... :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k@ke:
Have you guys notice that button sounds don't work? I mean those touch buttons. Keyboard sounds and lockscreen sound works though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hp79:
I'm loving it so far.

Much smoother unlock screen, much less choppiness for home screen and app launcher.

Much better color gradients (less dark black blocks when watching movie).

No noticeable battery drain.

Bugs I experienced so far:

I couldn't press "install" after downloading app from Amazon market. Reboot made it work again.

I had home screen wallpaper to not scroll, but then one time when I rebooted, it scrolled and shows half of black backgrounds on sides. I set it back to just one wallpaper (no scroll).

Bluetooth keyboard didn't work after pairing, now it's working well.

Some apps force closed.

Meh:

Touchwiz launcher still sucks, but this is a personal preference.

I had CheckRom v6 before I updated, and did a factory reset after ICS was installed using PC Odin.

hey guys... got problems on deepsleep on LPY??

coz im having its always on 200mhz..

No double-tap text reflow in browser. Texts are pre-wrapped just like vanilla ICS browser, but double-tap text reflow feature is gone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
Nah No problems here. cleared Play cache . No more FC there.

GoLauncher running great with 23 DVR widgets

Facebook sync 2 hours, L attitude On, Wifi On, BT On, Pulse, 3 Gmail addresses, FB Twitter, HaxSync Hell EVERYTHING possible is on and running and syncing. I have no idea how long the battery will last. I got about 11 hours from GB under the same conditions before the warning. If I get a couple less it won't ruin my day.

One of the reasons I prefer Samsung is the replaceable batteries. I charge every night and have plenty of charged batteries. Battery life is not an issue. I cannot see having such a powerful device and turning everything off to "save" battery life. Now if this were an H One X or iPhone....and I had to ration use ....Deal-breaker

It is definitely a lot smoother than my CheckRom GB. ICS seems to be about looking different as well as whatever they put under the hood to optimize the performance.

Running SIO/Performace Governor Via Voltage control. 203 Apps

Memory used is constant at around 558/808

deep sleep

same for me. coming from stock uae rooted rom, flaseh with mobile odin + cf-root kernel. with wipe. lags so much.

yesterday did factory reset + wipe cache and dalvik. no lags anymore but no deep sleep. always 200 Mhz

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
Really? You don't find yourself pecking at anything more than once? I wonder what went wrong. I'm going to redownload an image of the OS found here (the link you provided) and put it on the SD and load up in the power + home + vol up button and flash it off SD card. I hope that'll work. In the good ol days of BB, this was frequent. I'd have a "bad install" and then just reload the image off the PC and the features that didn't work too well worked now.

The Positives and Negatives

Just updated an hour ago.

Positives

-

No problems at all during or after flashing with odin.

All aps available

Go launcher working well

Now Go launcher and its app drawer are butter smooth,just like the stock touch wiz. Feeling like using I phone

Better Task manager and improved notification bar

S note application looks cools

Face lock working well, was previoulsy using visio lock was equally good and full screen

Negatives

-

samsung V/voice talk not loading at all

Big talk about browser, had been using dolphin all the while and would stick to it, still better than stock browser

Big drain on RAM- dont know when next will have a low RAM Pop UP.

NO PREMIUM SUIT- Big let Down. S Memo and Planner are all the Same- Was it Only hype or what- still would say not much of improvements

My Touch pal Keyboard has shrunk to half its size, probable i need to tinker with settings a while

Google navigation default TTS not working and samsung tts is not in english anymore

Will keep updating this post as I discover more with time and apps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pepeto2001:
And the other of you don't use swype? or you are not having any issue?

I like swype over Samsung keyboard,and it seems to work better than on gb, but it is unusable with that locks.

If there is someone without any issue, then maybe i should flash again. ..

Note needs a bit more time to be great on ics

Hi guys.

My feedback about the official ics for the galaxy note from samsung.

Ps:I've flashed it 2 times with odin pc and reset it 1 time in the samsung official recovery. And I came from a gingerbread official rom xxla1.

Pro

Ics of course and all its goodies;

Snote for the multitude options it offers making the note the best note taking ever;

Great battery life (1% only during 10 hours in the night).

Cons

Ics from samsung designed for note is not yet finished(a lot of force close and free ram is around 100 mo) making it slugish and really slow at times;

Some videos are missing in the video player(however mx player and my old 2.3 rom found them);

The worst deal breaker for me is that it disconnects my bluetooth stereo headset every 15 mn.

For me I think that samsung has not yet finished the ics for note so I'm waiting for the final build. However All of those things above have convinced me to buy the Galaxy S3. Why?

The S3 will be out before the stable version of the note;

I really need those 4 cores for my heavy multitasking needs and I need touchwiz;

I'm a big multimedia eater(64 go inside + my 64 gomicrosdxc).

In conclusion the note is the best device that I've ever had (and for many people too) but it's time for the GALAXY S3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] captainhakan:
I am very happy in overal on stability and smooth operation of LPY build. Samsung has made a faboulus job heads down. I just have one problem. I realised that Handwriting recognatision works perfectly on English language but when i change the language to Turkish it doesn't work even %10 as good as English anymore. It still works in Turkish but nowhere close to usable. Are you guys having such issues in languages other then English ? Do you have any guesses what's the cause for this ?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clandestino123:

Give us an example of something(s) that you wish to do on your phone, that requires a quad core. Just saying "my heavy multitasking needs" is rubbish.

My experience has been pretty poor. GB (rooted LC1) was stable and superb.

Stock ICS (rooted) has been slow, BBC Iplayer barely works and wifi has been random.

The system has also frozen a few times. So overall miserable...

It has been good so far, except the battery life. I havent got any fc and applications install perfecly. Due to recent warning about changce of brick, i decided to flash the lpy stock rom with odin mobile and everoot and wipe all option. Until further notice i would recommend anyone want to try out ics go with this method.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Lance Uppercut:
rom

Just root it and do the fix I showed you. You do it once and it's fixed forever. You're going to continue to have this problem on any Touchwiz based ICS rom so unless you plan on staying on Gingerbread forever I suggested you do the fix.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Markuzy:
sorry noob here,

Your method has no need of flashing cfroot kernal right?

Flashed with full wipe using Mobile Odin. No issues. Only complaint is that it looks and behaves just like GB version. Does not appear any faster on the benchmarks and except for a few visual cues, does not look or perform any better than GB2.3.6. A long wait for a lot of nothing………..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
Both options to gain root is easy as cake.

And no it doesnt; wouldn't make sense to flash official base w/ correct kernel to only flash it back with old kernel :confused:

Two options:

1) Download stock rom. Flash via Odin. Root with CF Method (CMW + busybox)

The one I used: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647148

2) Downloaded deodex rom (already prerooted)

Only issue i've encountered is deep sleep/SOD .. testing out setcpu to see if it'll help resolve that issue.

been on aosp for so long i kinda missed TW's UI and features.

still haven't figured out the extra gestures though. gave up on it. anyone figured it out? (it's in your samsung keyboard handwriting settings)

Although the color banding did improve, black clipping gotten worst on mine. Wallpaper i currently have look so pixellated now... Anything black looks bad.

Btw thanks for the factory reset recommendation. It's operating lot smoother only using 500mb ram now before 650. Phone app still has FC issue though with Samsung car mount in landscape view.
