1. Poor battery.

2. Sync errors: calendar sync freezes up every once in a while

3. Brightness slider in notification bar gone, tasker can not effect change of brightness anymore, only choice is to keep automatic brightness on, otherwise blinded out in sun.

4. Contacts and phone apps show up in 5s or more to load: need to switch to those ugly dialers, no choice at all

5. No widgets menu in app drawer as in nexus ICS

6. Launchers freezing: tried both nova and apex: many a times the screen went blank for a few seconds after hitting home (didn't crash though)

ICS update problem

After ICS update my default browser is not working, when selected get a blank white screen for some time and then comes back to home screen with a error.

Is anyone else having this problem and any solutions for the same. please help...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] daeuka:
I was having quite a few issues with ICS after the update, apps incredibly laggy to the point that the phone looked like it hung, touch screen not registering touches on some website buttons, battery draining fast, battery not appearing to charge, etc.

Did a full backup through Kies desktop, hard reset, and started fresh. The difference in performance is night & day. Everything is running smooth & fast again. I will verify battery life over the next couple days, but I feel much better about the update now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cvk@rocketmail.com:
After updating my Galaxy Note to ICS, I am facing the following problems

- The contacts takes a lot of time to open

- When trying to sync contacts with facebook contacts the contacts application crashes.

- sometime when we press the home screen the launcher stops working.

- The system becomes very slow even though I have few application running and even when I force shutdown some application the system response time is very slow.

Someone please tell me how do I fix this problem.

Rooted LPY:

When in official car dock, com.android.phone crashes when receiving or making phone calls. The phone log also does not say who tried to call.

Does anyone know of a fix?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zsoltyika:
Well lets see what didi I encounter so far:

1. After each reboot it takes ages to load up TW

2. No deep sleep mode until i have switched off button and lock sound

3. Half of the old apps that are not suitable for the Note FC like a boss (used them every day like Samsung Smart View App)

4. Battery drains faster than before

5. Once I have encountered that green screen while i have turned the phone on to unlock the screen.

6. The best is when it takes 10mins to install an 2MB app from the Play store

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
Guys, those are all major issues. Can I suggest you call samsung, see what they say, and post back here. When you speak to samsung, can you also ask them how to roll back to gingerbread. YES, I know how to flash via odin, but I want to hear what solution Samsung has to say. I would be doing this myself, but as I don't yet have ICS, they wont talk to me. I wonder why?

PS Is anyone noticing that battery drain has become a problem since the German and asian roll outs, or is it me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rowee270:
It happens when the phone is horizontal and in the car dock. A real pain! Vertically it works fine so if you can do that. Or you can turn off screen rotation in the drop down menu and it seems to work but everything will be on its side.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shibbyjaws:
Well these are the problems I had on my ICS :

Baseband : N7000DXLP5

Kernal : N7000DXLP9

1) Even when set to full brightness , display is somehow still very dark

2) Battery depletes faster . Was surfing web using Chrome on 95% battery life. In 10 minutes , it goes down to 84%.

3) Pressing BACK button will cause phone to hang.

I honestly feel sorry for the people experiencing this problems and I hope they are addressed and fixed soon because we all paid for a high end hybrid smart phone/tablet but are not getting the performance of such a device as Samsung Advatised.

I love reading this thread as it reminds me why I avoided updating to official ICS and opt out for other ROMs which are so much more better and has so much less bugs in them; and yes I am hinting at people to go checkout PARANOIDANDROID ROM for the Note, best ROM I have seen so far in my opinion, puts the hybrid in in our device unlike being forced with a Phone UI from Samsung even though they promoted this phone as a hybrid tablet phone.

Still on GB though as I'm waiting for an update to the ROM but pretty soon I'll be using PA ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sehooo:
thx GOD i was think that only me have that problem but it happened to me 3 time since i bought the phone 1 month ago ( i am also on rooted lpf tawian ics )

but also happened on lpy

+ alot of incompatible application to ICS which force closed

+lags of lancher

*********the problem of the slow contacts only happen when u free ram to avoid that just add the contacts process to the white list if u dont wait 1 sec to get contacts back*******

Thanks for the info everyone. I guess I'll stay on rooted stock gb.

When do you guys think they'll fix the brick bug, if ever?

Brick is what I'm the most worried about
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
Following my 'clean machine' update policy, I'm struggling to find anything seriously wrong. The 'Note is doing everything on ICS that it was on GB, just a tad faster. Data backups, no probs. maps, music, gps, all fine. Just one thing that really sucks big time. Farce Unlock, its crap, don't bother, epic fail.

So far, I conclude: Do I want to go back to GB? NO. Would I bust my balls to get ICS? NO

ICS is not different enough or better than GB to be that worried about. its cute, that's it.

PS I reserve the right to change my mind at any time :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
I have been very disappointed with this ICS update, can't believe we waited so long for a very LAGGY system.

My phone freezes on average every 3 to 5 mins (switching to Apex Launcher now).

It's quite frustrating!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tonio78370:
I did the same thing and I have little trouble. GNote is responsive and smooth.

Only things I noticed:

- Deep Sleep trouble after charging (it seems), the Note stays in 200 MHz mode. I have to reboot to get things straight.

- Yesterday, after long period of Deep Sleep, WiFi wouldn't wake up. I had to restart WiFi to get it back.

- Bluetooth stalled once but I must admit I was fumbling to get the phone paired with my computer...

When Deep Sleep works, my battery consumption is equal/a bit better than with GB

Overall I'm quite happy :D

My note was constantly rebooting after i installed ICS :eek:, turn out i had put the case on upside-down and it was pressing on the power button. :D , no other problems to report.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] awesam:
Solution ???

I've updated like every one else and got a whole load of crap. eg lag/exchange active sync not working/force close etc etc.

Here's what I did it ( like every one else ) - updated via Kies to ICS 4.0.3 Used for 3 days and totally disappointed. I downgraded back to GB 2.3.6 and every thing was fine and dandy but I wanted to try and update via OTA instead.

Before I went the OTA route, i've installed all my regular apps in GB. most importantly i've set up Exchange Active Sync and got it working in GINGERBREAD. Went straight to Software Update and updated via Wifi

DAMN!! every thing is working... even my active sync is working and getting push mails like I wanted.

Recap

- Downgrade back to GB

- Install your beloved apps

- Update via OTA (Over the air) thru Software Update.

BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR TEXT MESSAGES, S-NOTES, etc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blubbhome:
Same issue for me.

I saw this issue several times now and I never had it on GB.

I'm using the wifi sleep policy 'always when connected' to prevent the wifi to drain the battery when screen is off.

Maybe an issue with waking up wifi when going out of deep sleep...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Blue_G:
Note ICS India

-bad battery

- laggy apps

- more ram used

- certain game fonts are so small to read it comfortably

- UI seems clumsy

- more background apps running than GB

limited the background apps , less brightness , power saving mode

everything to save battery

would love to roll back to official GB :mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jdolmen:
And it's even worse.

Do a S-pen image capture. Try to paint anything. Almost 1 sec of lag

when using the s-pen in this case. Absurd.

This upgrade to ICS is a joke. Better stay away from it for the time being.....

Samsung should fix this ASAP.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
flash a stock GB with PC odin.. if its a nonwipe GB rom, you can just wipe on stock recovery. thats what i did to roll back to a rootable GB then update to LC2 using mobile odin..

im starting to think that ICS is a joke as well, they should fix all the problems for 4.0.4 update, if ever they have plans to release 4.0.4
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andybondy:
Right...heres my gripe. I just got a Rii bluetooth keyboard. In GB, the right mouse acted as back, F1 as menu in apps and the home screen and F4 was lock and unlock.

Now in ICS all the previously defined keys are gone. The keys I have found are as follows: Esc is back; I cant find menu anywhere and right mouse is the same button as the left mouse.

Im a bit pee'd off. And I spent all weekend looking for answers in case it was me.

On the upside there is the Hardware Graphics; and Chrome runs well. And everything is zippier. I also like the new Task manager system.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
Now I've been running ICS since day one, for the uk, its not looking that good. Getting some random crashes and self inflicted soft re-boots with some of my favourite apps. It could be that the apps are not up to much running on ICS, and they need to be updated, or ICS is less than ideal. Couple of the apps are now so flaky, I think and email and telephone call to Samsung is required to get THEM to roll back to gingerbread. Also to the App developers, when you KNOW a major software update is on the way, why not do something, instead of waiting for the moans to come in. You take money the same as samsung, so get with it. Last reply I got to an email I sent, simply gave instructions on how to remove the app :rolleyes: . I followed those instructions to the letter and removed it, along with my monthly subscription.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
Just put the phone down with samsung support. They were simply not interested until I pointed out a few things relevant to the UK. They have asked me to contact all of the software vendors whos' apps are now not working correctly. If there are no issues or no updates available, then Samsung will consider a return in order to restore Gingerbread for me. This is a long winded way of doing it, BUT, its important that Sumsung know of your problems. Once the call centres get clogged with ICS issues, then samsung 'might' do the job properly in the first place.

For those minded to do the same as I, here are the phone numbers for samsung:

+44 (0)1932 454358

0330 SAMSUNG (7267864)

NEW PROBLEM :

I updated my GT-N7000,to ICS via Kies 2.0 yesterday,

today morning I was listening when suddenly one side of the ear phone stopped after about 2mins of audio playback,

I thought the earphone might have got corrupted,so I plugged in the Senheiser,but the same thing happened.

Whenever I take the phone out of full charge,the audio comes for 2mins,then goes away on one side.

Does any1 have any idea on this?

Should I go to a service center,or should I downgrade to GB,by root,etc.... :-(

I have been using ICS for a while now and had a few issues, such as random reboots, and apps crashing every few days. I listened to what someone mentioned in this or another thread; a factory reset has solved most of my issues. It seems to be running a lot smoother now with no problems so far after two days... Worth a try!

Also to add, I did the battery calibration thing. On a fully charged battery:

1. Turn on flight mode

2. Turn off phone

3. Remove battery for a few minutes

4. Restart phone and wait until it settles

5. Turn flight mode off.

Also used the battery calibration app on 100% to reset the stats.

Battery is now running pretty impressively. Lasted two days on light to medium use. :D

ics didn't fix black clipping problem at all.

it's excacly as it was on gingerbread.

btw after updating my note via kies I was surprised that it didn't wipe my note, so I did a factory reset (that was before I read about people bricing theyr notes this way)

lucky me I gues :-D

but I'm disappointed with a battery and ram ussage (600/800 used all the time).

gonna try "flightmode/battery remove" trick.

if that will not help I'm rooting my note!

would like to try soft screen calibration

s-pen calibration

and maybe cyanonogen mod rom.

cause it made a miracle on my girlfriends xperia x10.

Barometer, Daily Roads, RAC Traffic, Marine Traffic, AirReport, to name just a few. Not surprisingly all of Samsungs bloat-ware works wonderfully, crap which is of no use to me, apart from google maps and navigator. The experience is very reminiscent of those crappy PDAs back in the early 2000s

I'll try installing a couple of them and see if I have any problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
That would be good, see what happens. Daily Roads might have some issues at 1080p so dumb it down a bit, say 720p

Update to my last moan/rant/whinge: Samsung called today, just now in fact. They want the unit back, and so they should. They have point blank refused to downgrade it to to Gingerbread "as to do so would invalidate the warranty". mildly happy, lets see what happens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ton66:
OK I was waiting for this update, but fair enough, it not that big a deal. Some features are OK , but the batterylife is really poor. After following some tips of my XDA kings I managed to get it through the whole day. So it's possible, but you have to make some changes. Further I miss the option to sync my e-mail maps via exchange. Only my inbox wil synchronise, but my map with the CC's won't work. And regularly I notice that it takes a while to startup programs, such as Facebook, Move the box etc. On GB no problems with that.

So if there's someone who nows how to solve my map problem in the standard mailprogram, you're very welcome.

But still it's a great phone to work with.

After upgrade its taking 5 hrs to charge 0-100% if the phone is on, i watch movie, browse sum times so that may have not allowed it to charge fast.. So i tried charging by shuting it off it took 3 hrs, im so confused my friend said his GNote takes 3 hrs if its on and 90 mins or less if he turns it off nd charge.

Ive never rooted (Noob afterall) using charger battery which i got in box. I have only 3 games fifa12, virtua tennis, and asphalt6 apart from this very few apps installed.

My question iz ->

1. M i d only 1 with this kind of issue?

2. Is there Any charger available to charge fast(i dont mind removing battery if external charger can do me favour)?

I need advice please if any1 can

Thanx.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rowee270:
Might be a silly question, but are you using the wall charger that came with the phone, or a USB port on a computer etc? I'm pretty sure the wallcharger will be the fastest as it's rated at 1.0A but most other USB 2.0 ports rated at 500mA.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] santoshhh:
Yes i am using the wall charger that samsung gave.

I read this 1.0A thing in some other thread here but i guess its not happening.. My phone is 3 months old and so is the charger m pretty sure theres no problem with the charger or may be i am saying this bcuz there is no damage or a scratch on it lol

I also consulted this issue with service centre they did some serviceing on the charging point but i cant see no difference.

I wonder in my case if i charge via usb port how long wud that take :banghead:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rowee270:
Can you check the charger to see it it says on the output 1.0A? Are you using the same cable that came with the phone? Maybe it's damaged so you could try another.

It really sounds like you're charging at 500mA. Maybe you can try using your friend's charger to see if it's faster? Maybe even cleaning the micro USB port of the phone may help.

I just reread your post - you said this happened after upgrading to ICS? Could something be sucking down your power so it's taking longer to charge? Is it going into deep sleep? What is the battery life like on it normally?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] plasticpig72:
stiffi2011 I have the exact same problem since going over to ics - but if you wait it will return to normal after about 20-30 seconds, that's what i've found. It never happened on GBread only on ics and it's done it 3 time already today - usually during a call.

Same issue here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] santoshhh:
Thanks buddy for helping.

Im gona give it a try changing my charger bcuz i dont know how to check whether its 1.0A output , although i m using the samsung original charger.

Yes its after upgrade as i can c when its on charging and if i browse using skyfire app instead of charging it will keep on reducing the the present juice.. :thumbdown:

This was not the same when i was on GB.

I e1 tried to charge without browseing it took approx 4 hrs 20 mins. I dont undrstand wots d deal here.

Well it does go in deep sleep i followed all instrustions from the other post on XDA (only when its not on charging), regarding battery life it was very poor first week of upgrade now its settled down well im attaching screen shot.. M glad theres nothing wrong with my battery atleast.
