When I ran the stock update, I couldn't get KIES to work at all. I ended up using Odin and the stock ICS ROM package. I've heard of KIES taking upwards of 2 hours to upgrade it. Using Odin it took me about 15-20 minutes. There's a bunch of sites with instructions. Just Google T989 ICS and Odin.

Overclock doubt

Hi, I´m using stock ICS rom (4.0.4) rooted, and it´s working great, I got 7000 on antutu.

I´m trying to overclock it, but setcpu, antutu master, etc, doesn´t allow, they show 1.5 GHz as max, which is the normal max frequency.

I thought that the phone just had to be rooted for overclocking, but don´t, I think a custom kernel is needed.

I want to keep stock ics, and just be able to overclock with setcpu, what are the minimum changes that I have to do?

Thank you very much and regards!

Daniel from Brazil.

So guys. Some questions. Just got home from work so hopefully the answers will finally be here. Asked them last night but that was right during the beginning stages.

1. Is MMS still compressed while sending.

2. Does the phone still send pictures sideways?

3. Most important to me is the wifi calling. Cant live without it. Works perfect on GB and afraid to upgrade. Is there a delay after talking for like 10 mins on it? Or is it perfect? Please if someone can experiment that would be great. You'll know if the person hears you 2or 3 seconds after you speak lol

None of my security will work after ICS upgrade.

I have a couple of problems -- including one app (and it's one that's important to me) that blows up repeatedly locking the phone, but other than that everything appears to be ok.

I went back to completely stock with the latest GB LVE release and then KIES'd the update. It loaded fine and the bloatware I had previously removed was still gone!, it was NOT restored (I had "frozen" it in Titanium before unrooting and KIESing to LVE)

ODINing on the CWM recovery and root went without incident as well. Lost no data or apps, and other than a couple of apps that went wonky on me it's running well.

I'm not real happy with the browser's input box handling -- they REALLY screwed that up, but it's just screwed DIFFERENTLY than it was in GB. Will Google EVER get that right?

\major noob here :(

I've been following through the threads here and there lately, and finally got the ICS upgrade last night as it was released.

Just hoping to find out if I'm not the only one with these issues, because i've already read through the pages.

Anyone experiencing any random glitches? or lag?

I factory reset before the upgrade to start fresh, and once upgraded, i did another reset and it seems to lag no matter what i do. and last night while writing a text to the mrs, i kept getting a notification saying "android.process.acore. has stopped working" (something along the lines of that), so i ended doing another reset in the morning.

I'm also using Apex Launcher Pro and tend to experience a minor lag whenever i switch through apps or screens (i make sure to fully close an app when im not using it), but when i use Go Launcher, it wont lag as much or glitch up.

I'm not sure what else i could do to make the phone run smoother, and I'm not trying to root because as much as i read through the guides, i still feel like such a n00b and too cautious to try rooting. :confused:

edited (add one more issue) : I'm not much of a fan of Swype ever since i started using A.I. Type Keyboard from the Play Store, but i've noticed when im texting, its very slow to type, I literally wake a good 2 seconds AFTER i type for the words to actually finish popping out. what could be the cause of that?

Upgraded to ICS last night, worked without a hitch. I have a completely 100% stock phone, upgraded with the last update a few weeks ago.

Noticed a few small issues, maybe some others have the same

-I use SwiftkeyX, after the ICS update, every time I type text, a little keyboard icon pops up on the notification bar and prompts me to choose an input method. I choose "SwiftkeyX" but it still pops up...only when typing (SMS, whatsapp, email, etc)

-Typing is sometimes slow, cant type too fast and when I do, seems to slow down or lock up the phone for a few seconds

-Reception seems to be worse overall

-Phone seems to randomly lock up and freeze more often

Any recommendations?

I found 3 issues.

[Critical Issue]

1. Switch to Samsung keypad . (Input language are English and korean selected)

Change to korean and input some korean ㄱㄴㄷ

It just write to "rse....."blah blah...

I think this problem must require Emergency patch.

[Major or Minor issue]

2. Some big size image(capture via stock camera app) attatch stock message app,

it just display "File size limited" and can't attatch resized mms image.

[Localizing issue]

3. In sms receipt text field, when I insert korean consonant (ex. ㄱㄴㄷ)

it will display like "가나다" or "구누두" it displayed GingerBread.

But ICS stock message can't display this problem.

It must side effect issue on consonant search.

Because every version of Android's browser has had totally-screwed text box input, no matter who the manufacturer of the device was or even if I built it from source.

They have NEVER gotten this right.

This, incidentally, along with Android's inability to get [blockquote]ed text right when scaling for a columnar presentation on a small (PDA) screen, is just plain hideous and has been since Android was introduced. It is

the

reason that I would actually ditch Android for the BlackBerry 10 (the Playbook gets the browser right where the Android tablets get it COMPLETELY wrong, as do Android ICS phones); Apple and IOS get it mostly-right.

The folks at Google badly need to fix this; it's only been since Android was first introduced that it's been screwed!

They just have alot of customizations but you dont have to use them you can make either one of them look stock.

He is right it is samsungs fault the nexus gets its ICS from google the way google wants it not this other crap they put in it. Why do you think it took so long for them to get ics out and others are still working on it becausethey have to first get it from google in vanilla form then they have to put their touchwiz crap over it and then they have to work with tmo, ATT, verizion and so on to put their crapware in also. All that takes time and its crap like that that ruins the OS. It is something that we have to deal with if we want open source. Open source means anyone can put and do to whatever they want we have to take the good wqith the bad. We also can root and get rid of all that crap and we also have the greatest dev community. Hey it beats being an iphone zombie. Also if you want a good rom just wait for AOKP that is going to be the best thing to hit the t989 since juggs 5.0. It is funny but on both my android devices I always try everything I am a true flashaholic but at the end of the day when it is time to go back to stability or if I go through a no flash stage I always go back to team kangs work. On the t989 it was juggs on the g2x it was weapon g2x and now that ICS is out it is AOKP for both devices.

The first thing I would try is clearing all the caches. Try an app from the market or you can go through every app and clear out the cache and app data in settings>applications> all apps. That will wipe all your data. OIf that doesnt work try doing a factory reset but with the hardware button combo thats volume up&down+power. If it is the same as gb you will get an option to wipe the cache then do the reset. I would try that. I dont know if any of that will work because I would think that if you do a regular reset it would wipe everything but thats just some things to try. also with apex launcher I tthink you can adjust the animations from slow to fast maybe that will help your homescreen problems.

that's due the actual OS optimization for multi core CPUs

Gingerbread was not really using both CPUs, it was a hacked and slashed release only to provide support for dual cores, but it was not optimized at all

that's why 4.0 was so desired by everyone 2 years back, even last year, and now we finally have it
