ICS is buggy right? its not just me is it? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

man I'm on liteningrom 2.7 . i get a bunch of force closes.. not all the time, but randomly switching back and forth between apps one will just crash.. and when i type really fast some letters repeat, llike ththis oror tthis, its always the first letter or two.. Google maps has trouble making phonecalls from a stores listed number, and just general random lags or hangups..
I'm thinking it's cause alot of apps aren't fully compatible with ics yet, or maybe Samsung still hasn't worked out all the bugs.. but I just wanna confirm its everyone experiencing ththis right? not just meme (lol < see it just happened on its own) .
or is it a listening rom thing.. there's nothing special on this rom, so i don't mind switching if there's a ssmoother one, tho I do like the built in call recorder lol.. but I digress

When you installed it, did you do a full wipe?

You should switch to hydrog3n ics. Best ics rom I've tried so far.

It's you!
I suspect you did not install the rom properly (with full wipes and flash any fixes needed after the rom)... or you're using the wrong rom... or your dpi settings need changing to work with apps properly (usually one of these dpi works 182, 184, 207, 210, 218, 240).

best part is i know few who never tried the stock, only custom, plus most dont wipe and flash on GB and *****es about how crap samsung ics is. i can only smile.

I dunno
I don't think it is buggy. But however, it seriously takes up a lot of RAM.

Stock ICS right after reboot...........
hovers round 400+ if i use apps and stuff

[Q] Problems with IceCream Sunday 2.0

Hi guyz, im with some problems here related to IceCream Sunday 2.0. I followed every step and installed it, no problems with that, but im having some trouble with the display. Some times it goes to a black screen for 5 to 10 seconds and when im playing games, it happens a lot and the game stops, its a really pain in the neck. Please guyz, help me with that, what can I do ??
Hi I think you overclocked the cpu too much, I don't have problems with games
If you haven't overclocked, try flashing again..

Try chainfire from the market. Ace isnt really that good for games. Its sluggish with angrybirds.

[Q] Constant random freezes

Searched the forum, didn't really find anything relevant so here goes.
Using CM9 right now to experience the ICS goodness (I know..experimental) but it happened with CM7 too which is what I would call a very stable ROM. Can't tell you if it happened with stock touchwiz because I removed that as soon as I got my phone...
At random times when I'm using the phone, it completely freezes and the only way to fix it is to hold the power button down to shut down/turn back on. I'm not doing anything particular so theres no pattern like launching angry birds, 2 minutes later the phone freezes. launch angry birds, freezes..etc.
What I thought could be causing it..
1) Something faulty in the phone.
2) A buggy app in the background that I don't know is running.
3) Losing internet connectivity/service causing an error of some sort..as bizarre as that sounds.
Can anyone help me with this?
Any suggestions/opinions anyone might have would be much appreciated.

Possible but the least likely .
2) A buggy app in the background that I don't know is running.
Again possible .
3) Losing internet connectivity/service causing an error of some sort..as bizarre as that sounds.
Not heard of that one
Can anyone help me with this?
Any suggestions/opinions anyone might have would be much appreciated.
Total wipe of the phone and sd card and put a stock rom on is the only way to eliminate bad rom bad apps .
99% of the current problems are all from beta test rom ICS in some shape or form and errors are random and varied .

I know theres lots of problems with CM9 but yeah as I said it was still an issue with CM7. Mostly have the same apps that was on my old HTC desire that was also running CM7 which made me think it was a problem with the phone. I'll try the stock rom idea and see if it helps...kills me to use touchwiz though! I find it ghastly!

You CAN install other launchers so you don't have to look at the TouchWiz launcher, you know. I'm on a stock ROM, haven't looked at the TouchWiz launcher in months.
I know that but I'd rather have the latest and greatest which CM9 seems to be at the moment. All the things that don't work don't really affect me. Also I've been using the stock touchwiz rom and still am having the freezing problem so I'm guessing its a dodgy app...gonna be a long process to determine which one it is though.
steepy1 said:

Its certainly not what i would put on my phone but it is users choice .
I find a clue in the high number of help or bug posts regarding certain roms is a certain indicator for me to steer clear of. ICS has multiple error posts of a varied nature what works for one phone does not work on another .

Games compatible to SGSII

Seriously, I've been searching for 3 days now on why the hell Starfront: Collision won't run properly on my SGSII phone (4.0.4, 2.3 Resurrection ROM)
I get this:
These red lines also appear replacing my GUI in-game a fix is setting transparency to max but then even notifications stay with the red lines.
I also get blue flashing artifacts all over my screen when sending units to buildings.
Why is it so hard to find information about this? Its not only this game but also HAWX's planes are black or white at the selection screen and N.O.V.A crashing frequently. Some forums say that the games are Firmware, model, GPU dependent. Iv'e been on another forums claiming that Starfront: Collision isn't compatible with Mali GPU models... well how come i could play this game and N.O.V.A flawlessly 1 year ago when i first rooted my phone? and now i can't suddenly...
Can people please explain me or link me to explanations, fixes and even share sites to games compatible to the SGSII???
Thank you.

So in order to have them work properly i would need to leave it in stock?
What about MIUI or CyanogenMod?
Just try different ROM's like MIUI and CM9. And if the problem persists, looks like its stock or put up. I'm on RR 2.3 and I have no problems.

Hey mate,clear data for the app in settings/app
I have the game and I am on the same rom and it works perfect.
I hope you installed the rom by using recomended installation in AROMA.

I'm starting to think its not ROM related... i tried RGUI NDT MIUI, RootBOX and now Spikes PureICS.
They're all giving me the same issues. NOVA crashes after a minute or two and Starfront Collision shows blue, greed boxes and the GUI doesn't show.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the first NOVA game doesn't work correctly on ICS anyway. As for Starfront, try deleting the downloaded game cache files and letting it download them again after reinstalling the app. That's fixed it a few times for me with troublesome games

Need some advice

First off by posting this i mean no disrespect towards the developers of CM9.
Ok heres my problem im running a ics rom it is treating me very nicely about as expected but it is starting to be a nusiance for my everyday use. As you all know the ics doesnt just yet have a camera and CM10 does. It would be very nice to have a camera but i can get by without. another option i have is to flash back to a stock rom but since Gingerbread does not apply proxy setting to apps it would definatly be a problem but it does work nice without a problem.
The newest release of CM10 looks nice should i flash it?
Should i stick in their with my ICS CM9 and cope with its problems (no disrepect inteaded toward the developers)?
Are the stock roms that are on XDA modified to apply proxy setting to apps?
I forgot to mention the issues iv been haveing with my rom so here:
Any time i try to look at the capacity of my device in the setting as soon as it is finished calculated it restarts.
When i try to download apps i get a 923 error (insufficient storage space) even tough that isnt the problem.
After apps have been install (only games apps) after the first 2 weeks of using it starts to freeze at start up and after 2 months of freezing at start up it works fine again.
There are a few really small ones that are not worth mentioning.

Unless you REALLY need Bluetooth and the earpiece speaker, I'd definitely recommend upgrading to CM10. It works a lot better for me than CM9 did.
When do I really use the ear price speaker because I have never noticed it being used

In my opinion, sounds like you should stick to stock. There are problems with custom kernels, and custom roms which nothing fully works one hundred percent. Honestly, if it annoys you, switch back.
Yeah but with the stock rom the proxy setting don't apply to apps and since my main network that I connect to is tru a proxy server any app that needs wireless connection will not work I'd rather put up with what annoys me then not being able to connect even to the play store

[Q] jelly bean worst version !

hi
i have galaxy s3 with JB 4.1.2 rooted I9300 rom Poland
and my problems start
1 . Even after cleaning and after WIPE high fine
He first 600 of 833MB
After a few minutes he 720 phone starts to feel like a slow
I go to games and everything works great no problem
But I hear songs song stuck in another and back again lodged a second
The battery runs down very quickly because of the high RAM
2. My alarm does not always ring
Once I woke up and saw it only vibrate
Even once someone called me and was just a vibrate
He calls me back and then have a song
3. Someone calls me take a few minutes to load the contact's name
4. My friend sent me a picture that SMS is not via software or something.
MMS.
So he sent and I do not get the picture he sent me.
If he sends only standard message I get. But if a picture is "MMS" I do not get.
Why?
and more problems!
i just want to back to ICS Seriously this version was only one problem the device heats up quickly and that's it.
Everything works great for me there is no problem. The device was amazing.
But in JB device always stuck full of problems
Do you have a solution to all these problems?
Do not tell me to delete just do WIPE or go to CM10 or something
Or you saying wait Android 5?
Sounds like you may have a bad app or bad something else. I have been on JB since the leaks and they are awesome compared to the ICS versions.
But you may want to download the most recent version and install it clean.
And wiping everything is a good thing as it cleans out phone and lets the user only reinstall the needed apps. Well for me at least

ever time i change my rom i do full wipe "everthing like new phone buyin now"
and i have backup for titanium backup ok
and all my app from google play i buy apps beecause I support developers
and i now what app is good or bad.
OK if your using titanium back up, only restore the app not the data.
There could be some old data that is messing it up. Like I said, its actually better to start all over and redownload all apps and start new.

Can't say I share your experiences. Jelly bean is fine.
Do a full wipe and just don't restore any data or app...

JB rom is pretty fine according my experiences, however if you are not satisfied with the stock one try a modded rom.
Regarding the RAM I wouldn't worry at all. Android takes care of the problem and will kill apps before ram gets overfilled as far a I understood. RAM I guess isn't the problem for any lags. I recommend to try different Kernels istead, Boeffla for example which works pretty fine with my rom.
Also battery drain is not a RAM problem it is caused by applications working in the background which suck the battery. There is a nice program in the App store called Greenify that allows you to fine tune this.
Format sdcard system data cache preload .
Flash whatever firmware you want via Odin .
Do not install apps or restore TB .
Test for one week problems then return to service .
