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.

Minor point of fact, there is no stock AT$T ICS for this phone. Not yet, anyway.

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.

Does anyone know when the official froyo release from Samsung is coming out to north America?
on a Samsung Galaxy S.
He's new he doesn't know.
at OP; Try not to post these kinds of threads because people here can get pissed off EASILY.
a Froyo 2.2 update is unknown for us currently, but most people suggest you use a custom ROM after rooting since we already have Froyo on here.
Hey, at least he didn't ask in the Developer sections! To me, thats a complete win!
In addition to what xriderx66 said, you can also find Tmobile and Samsung on Twitter and can ask the question directly from the source.
I wouldn't put much stock in it since according to one of their posts from earlier in the year, they now only have 5 days left to get Froyo to carriers.
Truthfully though, it's anyones guess if/when it's actually going to happen & I"m sure even Samsung doesn't even have a clue.
Since we have some decent leaked ROMs, I'd prefer for them to just drop froyo completely and get Ginerbread working since it has some improvements that will help the Hummingbird processor (as seen by the performance of the Nexus S).
At the very least if they started working on it, we'd eventually get some leaked Gingerbread ROMs

one reason I THINK that theres a BIG delay in the froyo update is JIT optimization for hummingbird. since google already optimized JIT in 2.3, i'm figuring Sammy could be finding a way to make it backwards compatible with their touchwiz froyo.
OR
samsung tweaking the froyo update for tmobiles approval
as far as having froyo by the end of the year, i would LOVE to be shown an official samsung document that actually says US carriers will have froyo before years end. the only thing i've seen does not mention Tmobile US Vibrant specifically.

Thanks for the advice. My phone is rooted, but I don't have a custom rom installed. What 2.2 rom do you suggest?

Nero V3 is a very good and stable ROM imho. They are all very good in their own way, but I loving Nero right now!

(now for a opinion/statement... don't take this as a negative, the progress being made is great and all the Devs are doing one heck of a job)
ICS is the new hotness and everyone wants it... but it seems that getting it running properly is probably going to take a lot of work and time. (Tbolt still has no data for example)
That is why I am hopping for a GB port. (CM7 for example) In theory, it should be much easier to port that over than ICS right?
We can have some GB AOSP goodness to hold us over until all the kernel problems and other issues with ICS are worked out.
Now if we can get the major bits working on ICS then this is moot. As long as data, wifi, and the phone works, I can handle a few bugs and a few random reboots.
(Once again not trying to be negative or knock down the achievements being made these last few days. I have been following the threads every chance I get.)
So a question to you guys out there... what do you think?
Both are going to take a large amount of time to achieve. Seeing as we have maybe 1 AOSP GB kernel, and I'm not even sure if that works. Also the whole issue with CM7 was the RIL thanks to LTE and that took awhile for the Tbolt to iron out. Also our phone is likely to get an offical release for ICS sooner than the tbolt, and probably will be easier to adapt. Who knows it could take less time and effort this time around to get a functioning RIL. But in my eyes why would they want to dump time into CM7 especially when theres the chance for pure AOSP ICS/Sense ICS on our devices? It's not like our phones don't run great w/ the sense roms at the moment. Only thing irritating me are the bootlops w/ the kernels. Not sure if thats voltage or software stability.. Honestly at this point it would be more wise to put focus onto ICS development. With ALL the improvements that ICS offers would be foolish to stick on GB.
From what I just read in another kernel, data would be an issue regardless.
I was thinking that GB would be easier to get working. If not, then there is no need.
ICS is definitely the way to go.
Data is the usual issue when dealing with these kinds of ports. I'm not sure if anyone is working on a GB AOSP rom, or even if theyre bothering to port CM7. From what I've hard the RIL can be a real pain in the ass.
Figured that sort of thing would be made robust to make it easier to get on many different devices.
You'd think so but software fragmentation is a monster in it's own. But hopefully with ICS we will truly have a unified platform this time around.
Right now they are doing what they can. The real magic will happen after we get the ics update and the ics kernel source.

I dont know about everyone else, but my phone is running just fine on GB, GingerSense to be exact (and ran fine stock). I think at this point ICS is more of a fanboy thing. All these people want to hop on the bandwagon because it's the newest thing, without even proof it's really going to make the Android experience that much better. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something?
There is proof, it is called the Galaxy Nexus.
ICS will be worth the wait just to get the second core in our dual-core phones running.

There is nothing special about the Nexus, per se, but ICS brings further hardware acceleration and dual-core optimization. The Rezound runs rock-solid on GB, but it will be unbelievable on ICS.
Beyond that, I like the re-sizeable and scrollable widgets that are stock-ICS, which brings a great feature to people who use launchers without that ability. And ICS has some really slick widget-updates to YouTube and Gallery, among others. Not to mention finally getting an Email and Gmail widget, although they failed in not having a universal widget for all messages.

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...

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 .

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?

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.

Oh well better late then don't getting it at all. If you really want ICS already then just run an custom rom with ICS.
Just pointing out, the OP is in Moscow...the email from HTC was directed at a Moscow user. Europe's rollout will be on a different schedule, and America's will be on yet a different schedule. Rollout will not be on the same date worldwide.
and i think the device list gets them first, in order
so EVO3d is like, second last ?
It's insane to me that the custom ROM community can produce multiple ICS ROMs without access to any of HTCs resources well before HTC can release a single ROM.
I can only think of 3 possibilities:
They have less than one person (per device) working full-time on the updates.
HTC employs the worst developers on the planet.
They wont let release ICS updates until they've sold new phones with ICS for a couple months.

Anyway, I really don't think that takes away from my argument. HTC will release ICS once they are sure it will not hurt sales of new devices. It's also the reason we wont see Sense 4.0.
It can't be time or cost effective to build ICS with Sense 3.6 and ICS with Sense 4.0. There is little in Sense that is hardware dependent. It's ICS that needs to support the hardware. It would make more sense to have one code base with slight variations for each device.

So what about the Vivid getting ICS before the OneXL is released on ATT???....

I don't know. Maybe AT&T made them do it, so they could have a flagship ICS phone like Verizon. If that's not the reason, what possible incompetence would cause it to take this long. Maybe they just don't give a ****...

maybe its not so easy upgrading all these different devices to ICS as some make it out to be?....Not to even mention the ones that have to go through carrier approval too...

It's insane to me that the custom ROM community can produce multiple ICS ROMs without access to any of HTCs resources well before HTC can release a single ROM.
I can only think of 3 possibilities:
They have less than one person (per device) working full-time on the updates.
HTC employs the worst developers on the planet.
They wont let release ICS updates until they've sold new phones with ICS for a couple months.

If one of our devs release a buggy rom we tell them and they can fix it because we're understanding.
But if a carrier releases a buggy rom they get sued and lose customers, and also give the particular device a bad name

I ended up giving my girlfriend my Evo3D and switching back to my old Samsung Epic 4G (the slider one) - it's slower, bulkier and has less memory but damn ICS runs smooth on it and everything works. 4G, Cam, etc... I have yet to have a single issue after 2 weeks of heavy use.
Even still, I miss my Evo3D but not enough to go back to using gingerbread.
Whatever. I'll be getting the evo 4g lte soon anyway. I'll get by with mikrunny until then.

I'm still happy with Sense 3.5. I honestly don't get why many people are so desperate in having ICS.
If it's ready for our device then we will get the update, but I can not think off many things that need ICS. And if you willing to lose the 3D feature and camera then I suggest flash Virtuous S4V Beta2.
Biggest bugs are: 3D not working and camera, rest everything works. But I'm not willing to lose features just for having already ICS.

Really?? I think you are wrong. Sprint 6 months ago released the GB rom for the OPTIMUS S. That "update" borked the charging, ear piece volume and other things. Sprint had to PULL THE UPDATE and have customers DOWNGRADE their phones back to Froyo. Sprint didn't get sued considering that rom was buggy as hell. They actually JUST re-released the update starting yesterday.
Forgive me if this topic has been beat to death elsewhere in the forum, but I have not found any discussion on this, here in the General forum at least.
I know we don't even have a stable ICS build yet, but...I remain hopeful.
Should I bother to even hope for Jelly Bean on my shiny new Droid X2? Yes, I am new to the X2..it was my wife's decision, it has to do with being on the Verizon network on a re-seller for half the price and twice the data and no contracts. Anyway, I'm not giving up on the X2 just yet but I might down the road if Jelly Bean is not even an option for us, which is why I am asking.
Thanks!
I doubt Jellybean is coming to the Droid X2, at least by way of an OTA update.
CM9 is in early alpha on the X2, but despite this, I highly recommend it. It's relatively stable, in my experience.
However, Jellybean depends on many more kernel modifications than ICS. It's unlikely, granted the difficulty of porting to an earlier kernel, that JB will be ported. At least until Motorola unlocks bootloaders, but I doubt that will ever happen.

It looks like dzk is working on it from looking at his twitter.

If you check Dragonzkiller’s tweets you will see he is already working on jb for the x2.

Fully functional? Not until we get an unlocked bootloader, everything that will actually work on our kernal? Whenever dkz somehow finds the time... I don't see how it's possible but time and again he does the impossible. I have no doubt that we have been spoiled with the best of the best in our dev.

To get JB, you have to have ICS first. There will not be an official ICS for the X2 as Motorola has already stated that.
DZK, as others have stated, has begun work on CM10 for the X2 which is JB. However, CM10 overall for everyone is in VERY early alpha stages at this point in time. Remember, JB is just Android 4.1, so it's still ICS-based which means, you're still going to have all the memory issues that ICS and CM9 is currently experiencing.
Without an unlocked bootloader, replacing the kernel is impossible (unless they can get KEXEC working correctly). Otherwise, DZK will have to program around the kernel which means it's still using GB APIs and memory management which is what is causing a whole host of issues with getting ICS to run properly on the X2. But even then, that won't solve all the issues as it comes down to the hardware architecture as well: Tegra chipset, 512MB memory, etc. Some say the 512mb isn't the issue as there are other 512mb phones running ICS, but from what I understand, they also are NOT Tegra-2 based and that is where the issue lies as well with how it was architected.
It's the main reason I left the X2. Motorola pretty much abandoned it and that's why I'm on a RAZR now. I would say getting JB on the RAZR is more likely than getting ICS on the X2 ever was since JB is ICS-based. Of course, by the time we would get JB on the RAZR, I'm sure android 4.2 or 5.0 will be coming out and I'm pretty sure THAT won't come to the RAZR (well, we MIGHT get 4.2). :laugh:
Dragonzkiller just tweeted a pic of JB presumably on his dx2.

Man, don't beat yourself up too bad for having your X2. My bride has mine and there's still times I gotta pick it up snd tinker with it. Yea it's limited, but with devs like DZK and others, it keeps things interesting.
Tomsgt posted a pic of the lockscreen in the off topic thread of JB. Looks NICE!

Not true, at all.
I do agree with the rest of your post.
I have decided that Googarola is the most rotten POS out there. Coupled with the dinosaur Verizon, it is a lost cause.
The latest news from the dinosaur about continuing bootlocking is the giant signal from New York of a raised middle finger to its customers.
I salute then with a returned middle finger and add in an additional right handed up and down jerking motion.
Let this be a lesson to all: Verizon hopes to copy the"I know what's best for you" law breaking NYC Mayor Bloomberg's actions.
Here's a Bronx cheer to Verizon and Googarola: "See yahs, we ain't doing no more business any more!"

You clearly didn't get the message about profits. How can moto keep selling you new hardware if they always make your old phone better???
And how can Verizon charge you and exrar $10 for each and every useful feature if you get them for free from hackers. Comon buddy , get in the game. Companies have to make their obscene profits somehow.

I think he's providing some well deserved sarcasm my way.
I work in speech recognition and find US carriers to be smoking some nasty weed that makes them believe that they are Ma Bell in 1954.

okay, that made no sense at all

It was total sarcasm. Verizon has been hitting the cocaine mainstream for 10 years, but some people still pay the devil his due.
