I have no clue why or who ever in Samsung development messed this up, but when you stream flash videos in full screen the notification does not auto hide. To me this is completely unacceptable as it ruins the possibility of "full screen" and it can actually damage the oled in these phones.
I think this fix should be a MUST for any developer currently making rooms for this phone. The only from currently that I know of that fixes it is Cyanogen.. but I do want a stable ICS and oh boy can't we all dream of a perfect aosp from... dreams of super fast clean friendly user experience...

They are still beta builds so stop moaning until we get official roms.

And you feel that you can issue demands to the devs because...?? Why are you so special?
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms? The only thing I'm wondering is why has this not been addressed by the community? Why is this still "OK" and why are trolls immediately the only ones present in this forum?
There's a Q&A for ya..
Its funny how you think my suggestion is un warranted. I just desperately want to ruin my phone with burn in right?
It's not your suggestion, it's your attitude.

AS said above, it looks like your are running ICS which is in beta and has not been officially released, you are complaining about an unfinished, unofficially released BETA rom.
You may need some time of reflection and a lot of reading to understand what you are doing......
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms?
You answer your question yourself why build a rom based on a half assed buggy beta release .
Put in a very simple way . Why waste time on a buggy beta build that may be very different come release day .
When ICS is released and if a dev thinks its worth fixing your problem i am sure they will .
jje
OK it sounds like no one understood , I will attempt to explain this better. This is NOT an ICS problem this problem is with EVERY rom including stock update strait from Kies. I went as far as contacting Samsung to get a fix, but as you can see in my profile I live in the US and the US Samsung will not help me with my UK phone. Why everything between us is so divided beats me but still the issue remains.
As I stated currently the only rom that fixes it is Cyanogen but just as JJ stated why use a buggy beta when the release will be much different/better. Also I am currently running ICS and have not encountered a single bug. Everything works perfect except for Samsung's stupid attempt to burn in my screen. I don't know about everyone else but I paid $580 for this phone and the last thing I want is a permanent" 3g" on my screen...

Then give us more information. Saying that streaming videos don't go full screen is no where near enough. What ROM, website, browser etc are you using because the last time I tried this (Not long after the S2 was released) it worked just fine. I tried a 720p video from megaupload and it went full screen just fine. Same with youtube/youtube app. Give more information, not attitude. Also, i'd wager than there is zero chance of your display burning in a 3G icon. Perhaps the full notification bar if you use MIUI/a white or light theme but I highly doubt the majority of people will experience any burn in, never mind such a small specific burn in.
Fair enough.. more info. I usually run completely stock and decided to play around with ics. A main site I stream with is twitch.TV (I am a big starcraft2 player and use the pro streams to get better) while I'm at work I watch for hours sometimes 7 hours straight. This WILL cause burn in.
When the problem occurs:
Watching ANY true flash video online(not YouTube app) while in full screen mode in any browser or Rom besides cyanogen.
If you don't believe me test it yourself. Go to twitch.TV pick a stream let the video load and click the full screen button. If you have a rom that the notification bar disappears let me know and you won't hear.me "moan" anymore.
Or maybe one of you super nice Brits can call UK Samsung and get an official fix. The number is 08702420303.

Download the diff, check for relevant changes (there's not many for fullscreen) and mod your own browser. Before you ask, I'm not going to hold your hand on this one, and am not willing to do it for you either (I don't use an ICS ROM).
Not asking for any hand holding or hand outs for that matter.. one last question can it be done completely from the phone?
Actually nvm that browser mod will not work with ics. Even states in that post "should be comparable with 2.3.x roms.

Sure it will, you just have to be willing to put in some work. Namely, as I already said, downloading the diff, checking for relevant changes (I think there's only two changes relating to full screen) and getting them into your Browser.apk. You're probably going to need to do some reading.
Judging by this part of your post:

I highly doubt that they'd just pull because someone else showed he's also working on the same thing.. seems kinda stupid to me..
May I ask for reference regarding prelude? Haven't read anything from him?
and I still believe it's kinda suspicious that both attempts beside CM's show the same error.. wonder what's causing this
also it seems that his way of booting ICS doesnt really differ from fattires?

ICS aka Ice Cream Sandwich is the next iteration of Android (4.x) after 3.x Honeycomb which brings together tablet & phone.
not much there left to know besides technological aspects in detail..?
ics will get us running a tablet version of android rather than a phone version. say hello to proper tablet apps!

I used mobile odin to install the att stock ics and now my phone will not charge.
I get the lighting bolt symbol but there is no animation and the phone will not charge the battery. Nothing has changed on the hardware end and what used to be no problem is now a pita.
Anyone have a soloution and running into this?
Yesterday after I flashed, I charged my phone for an hour and the % stayed the same. It seemed to get better later on (Although I shutdown to charge) but I haven't tried charging since.
I've been running it since last night (also used Mobile Odin) but haven't had any issues charging. I've had it connected to a wall charger, USB cable, and an external battery thing from Monoprice - all have worked great.
Could possibly be a bad flash or something random like that.
I also used the Mobile Odin method and have not had any issues with charging using wall charger or usb. I also noticed that there is no charging animation, just the lightening bolt. Maybe you had a bad flash?
I got it working after turning it off and taking the battery out.

Given some glaring bugs in this build (battery stats FC and repeating alarms don't work), I don't think this is the final build of ICS for us. But it is supprisingly stable build. I have no problem use it as my daily driver.
Plus the fact that now we have screen display mode options in settings reinforces my belief that AT&T hasn't had a chance to water down this build yet

Thanks for this! It worked for me although I think I'm going to try an ICS rom instead.
Another point of fact, what we have was released by Samsung and it was not specifically for this phone. AT$T had nothing to do with it. Stable is a pipe dream until there is an official AT$T i777 release. Calling this 'stock AT$T ICS' is misleading. The devs here are great, but it has only been a week since source dropped.
No, UCLC2 leaked here is specifically for AT&T I777 with all AT&T bloatware in tow. It is not some kind of I9100 transplant

someone needs to check their facts... yes, samsung built it but it was built for the i777 specifically, Not another phone. And I'm sure AT&T had something to do with it considering their bloat was already on it. I'm sure it's also one of the builds they are testing.
You also have been telling people there is no real ICS, well what do you consider real ics? One that's officially pushed out by AT&T? the version with a UI overlay, and bloat? real ICS? haha Real ICS is AOSP IMO. Pure android, not crap the carriers push out.
It has only been about a week since source dropped but already the development on AOSP roms like cm9 and aokp is going well. There are a few bugs but nothing major (depending on your needs) I dont mind waiting for video capture to work on AOSP as I never use my video cam on my phone anyway. I do use netflix and crackle but not having them work at this moment is not enough reason not to use it. I'm actually really impressed how stable these roms are considering source dropped a week ago. A deal breaker for me is calls not working, buttons not working, wifi and gps not working.. everything else I could pretty much live with until it gets sorted out
What I said was there's no real ICS for our phones, meaning what we have right now is someone elses cobbled together i9100 port of ICS, not an official AT$T release of ICS for the i777. A leak is not an official release, BTW.
This forum has suddenly exploded with posts of people having issues because they are in too big a hurry to try something that is still not quite ready and/or they do not know what they are doing. It is overwhelming the forum with ICS issues and we don't even have a true ICS version yet. There should be a single thread in Dev for each of these ported ROMs where early adopters can look for help instead of clogging up General and Q&A with all this BS. I think all the ICS threads confuse people into thinking there is an actual release instead of just these ported ROMs and makes them try something they shouldn't. Just sayin'.

No one is claiming that UCLC2 is official release of ICS but it certainly is not an i9100 port. It is an early build by Samsung specifically for i777 and leaked. Read.
Just putting this out there, the battery life off my ICS was initially horrible.
After resetting the phone I have 91% battery after 9hrs off charge, have not been doing a lot granted but that is still pretty damn good.
I think the main problem with the leak was that it included a boot loader and people that installed it lost root and cwm.
It wasn't until task and others cleaned it up and removed the boot loader that it really became more user friendly.
Personally I waited for the CM9 official nightlies for our model to start a few days ago before jumping on ICS. I really liked touchwiz until I tried CM7. Not sure if I would ever go back now to be honest.

As many of us Captivate owners learned, these 'leaks' are rarely more than just Samsung's way to get over-eager users to do much of their debugging for them. Gotta love the early adopters.

I'm certainly very happy with the Captivate GB leak running on my phone back in Aug 2011. The official GB release didn't come until Feb 2012, long after I sold my Captivate. So, ultimately it is up to individuals to decide whether or not to install leaked ROMs. It's more benefits than hassles. I don't think we will see official release until the end of 2012 or even 2013. I don't think I will still be using my SGS2 after this summer.

Hah thanks for the laugh xD
Anyway, I should have worded that differently: "Have you flashed a ROM that helps with the multitasking issue".
Most of them do, but if you don't want to flash a ROM some people reported that if you change the setting within developer options to 'At most 4 processes' for the background process limit it helps alleviate this issue.
This is by far my biggest problem with this phone. From what I've heard, stock ICS doesn't have the same issue.
Yeah, it pisses me off when I scroll through a list and go out of the window, ONLY to have that damn list reload back to the first item.
There HAS to be a way to get rid of that permanently if stock ICS phones don't have this problem?
Yeah, the multitasking is the only issue I have with this phone. Reminds me of the fail WP7 has with multitasking :/
Yeah a lot of the issues with this phone can only be alleviated through rooting it and flashing a custom rom. As I stated in another thread with my opinions of this phone and the pros/cons, this phone requires the user to root it in order to have a pleasurable experience.

Which is really disappointing. We shouldn't have to root in order to get things like this to work properly. If HTC is going to place a button dedicated to a specific function on their phones, you'd think that function would actually work.

No one is arguing against it, we are merely providing solutions to the problem. Furthermore, if we want to nitpick the button isn't a 'multitasking' one, it simply brings up a recent apps list. That being said I do hope HTC fixes this. It seems to affect all the Sense 4.0 phones. I know the One X has this problem by simply looking at their forum and from what I tested the One S at T-Mobile while helping my parents get a new phone, it seems that the S also has the same problem.
Rooting and flashing roms hasn't fixed my multitasking issues..I think its a deeper sense issue..I've manually adjusted min free settings with no luck..so Im assuming that its Kernel related buried deep..its my only gripe with this otherwise perfect device..and some people actually like its killing of apps..although it doesn't seem to free up any extra ram ...edit - hasn't the issue been resolved with the att hox with an ota?

The worst is when I play Sega's Sonic Adventure app or open up stumble upon and every single time I go back to the home screen, sense has to reload. I've never experienced that with my Xoom.
Are the ROMs effective at fixing the multitasking issue? That, ps3 bluetooth, and otg support would be the only major reasons I'd root my phone (maybe titanium backup too for contingency). I'm not root shy, my OG EVO was rooted two weeks after I got it, but, in the long run, everything seems more consistent when running completely stock, and I can pretty much find an app for everything I need.
Also, do you guys think that if we send in enough complaints that HTC would get its act together for the jelly bean update?

I was saying I didn't want a gsiii, but this may push me to get one

I don't find sense 4 very bloated at all actually. When sense 4 was ported over to the Sensation, it didn't have this multitasking issue, which is leading me to believe that there will be a fix soon for it.
Yet again, I apologize if my issue has already been covered in another thread, but here goes anyway.....
Is there any way to disable to bottom notification-tray or turn it into a separate icon/installed app? The reason I ask, is because it's a constant nuisance the number of times I've inadvertently clicked and opened it whilst in the middle of doing something else, like playing a game or whatever. This can be most annoying if I end up unmounting one of my external SD cards in error or whatever and have to reboot my tablet. I'm sure I'm not the only one this has been an issue for, but I would guess that if there is a solution to this issue, it may be an app that would require ROOT access, but I may be wrong (that happens from time to time <g>).
Any advice or directions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

There is a small dot in the center of that bar that locks the bar and hides all the buttons until you unlock it again.
I can't remember if it was on ICS but if not you know my views on that

Can't see any dot there......so maybe it isn't on ICS, worse luck. You know I'd upgrade to Jellybean if only I could get my head together enough to figure out making nvflash backups, and unfortunately, I haven't done that yet. Half the problem is I'm a lazy sod, and having to re-root my Prime after upgrading to Jellybean is another PITA......u know the old saying, if it aint broke......
Any other app you can think of that would work on ICS?
On another note, flump, me old mucker, what are you views on GO Launcher EX? Me, I find it to be less of a memory/resource hog than the stock ICS launcher and is much faster to load, 'not responding' MUCH less.

It has to be enabled in Asus customized settings first.

Nvflash is a 5 minute job. After doing that you do not need to go about installing jellybean and then root etc. You just install Hairybean 2.31 which will bring you up to Android 4.2.2 with root included.
To be honest mate these replies take me far longer than you just doing it so if you want me to talk you thru nvflash and installing the latest Hairybean I would rather do that for you over Gtalk than keep answering. lol
Let me know.

Ok buddy, appreciated, all that you said. I guess I'm just a little nervous about this whole nvflash thing in case I screw it up (I'm not the only one, trust me)
To be perfectly honest and frank, I was thinking of waiting until the official release of JB 4.3 (in October, as far as I know) before updating. What do you think?
I just tried installing GTalk, but it was detected as a virus and wouldn't install......WTF?!?!?!?
A special thanks for the pictorial guidance.....I'll check it out a bit later.
YES! It worked! Cheers bro.

There will not be anymore updates from Asus for the Prime. Jellybean 4.1.1 was the last one.
Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.2) is based off the TF300 rom which they are still updating and has nearly identical hardware to us.
I was not talking about an app for gtalk. You just go to google mail on your PC and then add a person to the chat part in the bottom left.

Don't ask me why and it's not in my usual nature, but this whole nvflash process scares the b'Jesus out of me lol
Did some reading and there are a few guides but not sure what might be best for this new Pixel6.
Whilst I wait for the ability to use a Google-Free ROM, is there an app or script or list of apps/services to disable etc that would work i can follow?
I'm kinda wanting to have a play with this phone but don't want it updating itself or tracking me...
I'm with you in this, impatiently waiting for Calyx/Graphene A12 and P6 support. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much we can do until then. Just restrict as many permissions as you can, don't sign in to too many things and use websites instead of apps when possible
I always stayed away from anything that is Chrome related.
I use Duckduckgo as my browser.
Brave is another...

IT would be best to wait for a custom ROM to sideload
Yeah,uhumm..Me too want a Google phone without Google apps.Yes,uhumm also i want a stable OS without bugs and good performance, good battery life too.But not the way Google make the phone, the chip and HIS operating system.no, no,no i want to archive this any other way possible.Then U see this dude coming back with "I don't know what's happening, I have a lot of bugs and a lot of app crashing. My system is unstable. I don't want this phone.Copy his user name and wait..
Here are the apps I froze. I could probably freeze more but it's a good start i'd say. I didn't sign in to any google account. It's not perfect but that's temporary, patiently waiting for custom ROMs too

Yep I guess we wait for the clean ROMS and such.
Thanks for sharing tomatot - I have done a bit of that already. Will check your list against mine

Sure, let me know if I missed any other app that seems important to freeze.
I don't know if any of you realize this, but p6/p6p have first class support in aosp. Take 15 minutes to read the instructions and build it from source yourself.
I'm running a self built aosp12r14 on my p6p right now and even typing this message from it.

It'd be nice if you'd share your build with the community. Is everything working including fingerprint scanner?

1) My build wouldn't help you. Like I said, its for p6p, not the basic-p6 in here.
2) 15 minutes of reading is all it takes to figure out how to build it yourself. The security risk of using something built by someone you don't know doesn't justify it.
3) couldn't tell you about fingerprint sensors, biometric security isn't protected by anti-self-incrimination laws, so I would never use and recommend that nobody ever use it. You should only use knowledge-based security.
I guess we are lazy? Or an underestimated minority?
I'm wondering why an AOSP build isn't available already from some kind person, or even a walk through with comments and experiences from someone already on this planet? Nothing on Youtube either.
Or is it so easy people do it quietly and assume it's common knowledge.
You know they make phones without Google installed on them, right? They are called iPhones and are pretty popular too.

You can enjoy Android without enjoying Google bloat/spyware you know...
I think they are just joking with the iPhone jib so no need to overreact all.
I read up on source.android.com and it all looks well documented yes. But.
400G of free HDD space, 60GB+ of source to download, overnight compiling....
I've not done it before, let alone testing on a brand new phone...plus with 2 kids and a puppy and not much sleep...
If your in your 20s and have a couple of Pixel phones and lots of free time - have a go and let us know your experiences creating a ROM. If it works on your P6, I'll try it on mine
Those many GB is not that much these days. Not like anyone is using 9600 bps dialup any more. And overnight compiles are not that bad, not like you really need to watch it. Set it to go and go to bed.
Or if you have a faster computer, just give it an hour.
But I do hear you on the kids and dog getting in the way. I have 3 kids under 10 and a dog. Oh, I'm an accountant.
It's funny that people use Android and try to De-Google their phone.
What is even more hilarious is buying a phone actually made by Google themselves and trying to De-Goolge that same device
