Hi,
I have KE7 firmware which is rooted.
Two nights in a row now, when I wake up, the phone is switched off.
Last night it was even left charging as well. I turned it on and the battery levels are fine (i.e. 90%).
Is this a software/firmware issue ..? Or do you think it could be the actual battery? tempted to just reset the phone again.. Before my phone would randomly restart too.
Thanks,Thanh.
Have you used a task manager to check what processes are running before u sleep? I doubt it's a firmware issue otherwise loads more people would be complaining.
SOunds more like you have some flaky software installed if you were also getting random restarts because I'm on KE2 Villian Rom and have none of the issues you've just mentioned
I had one random reboot on kdd. None on KE7, stock or rooted.

I have lots of reboots and crashes on KE2. Some crashes even consume my entire battery!

Never ever had a reboot .
Suggest factory reset as first step this wipes data so back up if needed ,

so this never happened to me until I flashed LPQ. I had lpq running for a couple hours. then my phone started saying charging paused voltage too high, but my phone isnt even plugged in, it also says its charging. when it wouldnt stop I decided to go back to my turkbey backup, that made the issue stop. the same thing happened when I flashed 3 different LPQ roms.
anyone have any clue why this is happening? I thought it was a charging port issue until it only happened on LPQ
No one?? 169 views and nothing?
Are you wiping everything in CWM before flashing?
many people reporting this issue but no reliable fix for now.only solution was getting back on GB

did you do a full wipe (including cache) before you flashing it ?

The only thing I can think of to fix this issue is to reflash the phone. But make sure to clear the dalvic cache, the regular cache, and do a factory reset before you flash it.
On another note that would relate to this thread, my phone is running fine with this new ICS, except for the fact that my screen lock doesn't show up everytime I press the power button to put it into sleep mode. Not even when I leave it alone for the backlight to go off by itself. I've tried changing the security settings, changing the security feature to everything available (facelock, pin, pattern, etc.) It doesn't even show up when there is no security feature at all.
Any help or info about this is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am going CRAZY!!!! so now I flashed LP7 through odin everything went fine. then after a couple minutes, the exact same issue I have no clue whats going on. I never ever had this issue before LPQ and LP7, I mean Never!!!! does anyone have any clue what i can do? i really want LPQ and LP7 on my GS2!!
anyone?? I came from turkbeys Gingerbread. I went to turkbeys ICS, i wiped everything in CWM flashed his ICS and still having this issue. i have no idea whats going on.
Hi, I'm having the same problem with my S2 since I've installed ICS....I gotta mention that I installed ICS on another S2 and everything went just fine...But this time, i just don't know what went wrong so that a notification about baterry voltage keeps beeping every 3 sec...How can I solve this problem? Should any other installation of another version of GB fix this problem? I just can't use my S2 normally...Pls help me!!!
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S2 on TMobile in the UK. Not rooted, just been upgraded to ICS with the official firmware through Kies.
Ever since then I've been randomly getting a black screen - i.e. phone doesn't respond to any of the buttons to turn the screen on. Only way to get the phone to work again is a battery pull. Haven't installed any apps from prior to ICS, and prior to ICS I didn't have this problem.
As well as getting a black unresponsive screen it seems to get really warm. Not the normal been playing a game warm, but bordering on really hot. When I do the battery pull and restart there's also been a big battery drain - have lost half the battery before and the phone warning is on screen saying it's about to run out of battery when it was 60% charged before.
I'm guessing no one's going to have a simple answer to this (although it would be great if anyone does, but I've searched and haven't found anything) - but any tips on trying to identify what the cause is? Could it be a bad app maybe?
I tried logcat but didn't really understand it (!) and I wasn't sure if it would record what happened before a battery pull anyway. What's a way of recording what's going on that will stay recorded after a battery pull?
Any tips to help get the bottom of this would be much appreciated
Many thanks
Andrew
First backup data and factory reset .
Still a problem reinstall the firmware.
Checkfus will let you download it and flash via Odin .
Or take it to a service centre is the other choice .

I am having exactly the same problem. This has started just after upgrading to ICS. (I have an unlocked S2 CSC:XEU). Never had this problem before. I tried hard reset but the problem is still there.
I have upgraded using Kies.
I have the same problem on unlocked S2 CSC:XEU. not rooted...
reset didn't work. full wipe - the same problem

hi, i have the following problems after updating to official ICS,
wifi sometimes gets stuck between on/off
sometimes phone goes to sleep and does not respond
wake up is slower than in GB
after numerous hard resets and re-flashing ICS with odin these issues persist.
I recommend re-flashing the official GB version and wait till samsung sort their crap out.
all these issues are kernel related. the wifi issue is reported to be a faulty stock kernel and the black unresponsive screen also is a kernel issue I faced with some beta kernels.
my tip, before you hesitate to go back to GB, give one of the custom kernels a try. Siyah, Speedmod, ... just for the moment don't tweak anything and make sure you really flash an ICS kernel (!!). Just flash one of these kernels and give it a try, you don't even have to do it with odin and thus increase the counter, but you can use that variant. When you are in CWM, instead of flashing the SU zip file, flash the custom kernel zip which will root your phone, too.
Now give the custom kernel a try and see if your issues are gone.
If you don't like it, just flash the stock kernel with odin and uninstall SU and Busybox, and you are back to stock ICS.
I had the same problem. Kernel. Flash the latest siyah kernel and sleep of death will dissapear

I'm getting the exact same issue running Siyah 3.3.2 and CM9. Also happened with stock ICS.
First few times it happened the phone was in my pocket and I felt it get warm. Only way to recover it was to hold power button in for about 10 seconds and it then reboots. I thought the screen was unlocking in my pocket and it was switching off due to overheating... but
Happened again today whilst I was using the phone. Screen went black and phone started getting hotter and hotter. I now think something is causing some kind of loop that causing the lockup / heat up and the phone is actually still on until I press and hold the power button.
I'm currently trying a "record" with CatLog but I can reproduce the problem easily apart from it happening 4 times in the 4 weeks I've had the phone.
(Its a I9100P if that makes any difference)
I apologize if this thread is a tad redundant, but I believe it goes beyond your run-of-the-mill glitches that one might post about in the ICS Bugs thread.
I got my OTA upgrade about 10 days ago, and since then my RAZR has been utterly useless.
The biggest problem is an obvious issue with power management. With GB I used to get almost a full day of heavy use. Now I get 2 hours, 3 if I'm lucky. I often find that the phone is extremely hot, as if the processor and radios are running at 100% for no reason.
Perhaps worse than that, it takes infinitely longer to charge than it used to. As in, 5+ hours to go from 0% to 100% -- and that's while the phone is powered off. Powered on, it'll take even longer.
I've experienced issues with almost every app, and with some I've had literally no success whatsoever. Facebook freezes half of the time before even loading up. The stock Browser will freeze a few times a day. Alarm Clock Xtreme freezes whenever I try to edit an alarm. Neither the stock Gallery nor third-party image apps will load up any of my photos without freezing. Google Talk won't initiate video chats. The list goes on and on.
Moreover, the phone will often just freeze outright. Sometimes the screen won't light up, regardless of how many times I press the power button. Sometimes the phone gets stuck on the home screen, and responds to nothing. Sometimes the phone becomes unresponsive, although pressing the capacitive buttons still triggers haptic feedback. Because of this, several times a day I just hold power+down to shut it off the hard way.
At this point, I actually avoid using it. It's that useless. It's more burdensome than it is helpful. It sucks because, when it's working, everything is really smooth and the ICS interface is really cool. I can tell it would be awesome, if only it worked.
Has anyone experienced such madness as this?
FYI, I'm running:
Android version 4.0.4
System version 6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US
Baseband version CDMA_N_05.11.01PLTEDC_U_09.11.00
Kernel version 3.0.8-g29cf5e7, [email protected] #1
Build number 6.7.2-180_DHD-16_M4-31
I can't believe they would release something so unstable.
And yes I've gone into recovery and wiped the cache partition several times to no avail.
I admit there are some issues with the battery and heat and bugs, but i have not experienced any freezing with the stock browser or any program really, alarm clock extreme and it works for me, I don't use the Facebook app often but the few times i have, no real issues sometimes it lags trying to update. I will say thay the market SUCKS or play whatever they call it. Maybe you got a corrupt OTA file or something is wrong with your update installation. Maybe try doing a factory reset, i know that sucks to do but i do it before every OTA and im not really experiencing any of the software issues you are experiencing. If that doesn't help, root it and use the razr 1.7 utility to reinstall the system files.
Did you try to wipe the device (factory default)? It helped in my case.

If you wana solution to some problems without wiping the phone, boot into recovery and wipe the cache, fixed my battery and a few other problems, It doesnt remove anything you have done, also it eliminated my lagg problem.

Data wipe, itll fix it. If you dont want to.do.that then root and wipe the cache and dalvik cache.

ICS is very different from GB, and Motonverizola tried really hard to get ICS to play well with existing GB cache data and GB settings. All of that stuff changed a LOT.
The problem isn't ICS: the problem is data conversion from GB to ICS.
Wipe the cache and dalvik. If that doesn't get it, then do a factory reset and set everything up again.
Mine runs for days with light use (1-3 hours a day), or a day+ with heavy use. It doesn't get hot, unless you mean that the other way. But that'd be kinda creepy.
Hi
This is my first post here at this forum and I'm not a Razr user but thinking about getting the Maxx because of it's hardware and big battery which fits my usage of a smartphone, I have a Galaxy S right now.
I have looked at some of the posts and screenshots of the battery usage on the new leaked/released ICS for the Razr and read about complains about the short lived battery and the devices that overheat, well, we had the same problem when GB has been released to the Galaxy S and that is all related to the Android OS app that is using the battery because it's got into a loop, this will not get fixed unless you make Motorola aware of the problem. I could be wrong but I think that is related to the dalvik-machine. Android OS should be using around a single-digit of the battery of all time (3%-7%), we don't have this issue anymore since Samsung fixed this bug in the later releases of GB firmwares.
A temporary fix of the Android OS is to reboot the phone when you can see that it's hijacking the battery, this is until Motorola fixes the issue.
I wish you all good luck and hope that you will get a better firmware soon.
Its always good practice to start fresh when accepting an update that big. Less variables = less problems.....
Id do a factory reset and start from scratch... that sux... i know, but so does a useless phone
Ics def wasnt all the hype.... but its also not that bad... just gotta start clean.
Good luck!
Complete disaster? How is it a disaster compared to my update? After the update I could no longer receive text messages, Consider the fact that I send a receive hundreds of text messages per day this is honestly the biggest cause of outrage I have with a flagship that can't perform even what a Nokia 6280 could, when I finally receive texts they come in 4 hours late and worse still, in DUPLICATES and I can't seem to find any solution to this as of yet. A factory reset fixes this for an hour at best but the problem suffices after that. Does anyone have a SOLUTION to this? Honestly driving me nuts
I agree with most others... do a factory reset. I always do after a major upgrade (and ICS is a major upgrade!)
Then check what apps you are putting on the machine; some cause issues. For instance, I put the new Starbucks 2.0 app upgrade on my phone yesterday - consumed battery like mad, phone ran hot (like cook-an-egg-on-it hot), runaway processes, etc. Turns out it was the new Starbucks app; after removing it the phone ran normal.
Otherwise I love ICS! So try the cache wipe; and if that doesn't help then do a factory reset and reinstall things. Takes time, but it saves in the long run.
Wow, this is crazy to hear. My update has been flawless but I did a factory reset after getting it. I bet if you did that it would fix 99% of your problems.
I also rooted after and now I'm running a cm9 rom. This is the best my phone has ever run.
Ultimately, even if you don't root you can fix most of these problems with a factory reset.

Hold down the Home button to see what's running, download a task manager to see what's dominating the CPU. The phone won't get hot by itself, something is using up the CPU (like you said) if you don't want to factory reset you've got to figure out what it is. Rooting and setting the CPU governor to hotplug will save quite a bit in battery (shuts the 2nd core off when not needed).
I'm on a Canadian leak, the first day battery performance was terrible. By the 4th day, the battery lasted longer than GB
I concur with everyone here about the factory reset.
As other's have mentioned, going from GB to ICS is a major overhaul. I've read elsewhere what this really entails and it's not pretty. Suffice it to say, I backed up all my user apps and data (using Titanium Backup), saved off all other things that were on my internal SD card just to be safe and then applied the OTA update in stock recovery, wiped data and cache and rebooted. I then rooted, installed Safestrap and flashed Eclipse ICS v1.2 RC1 and restored my apps with TiBu.
I also tried stock ROM as well and restored my apps via TiBu.
In both cases, no performance issues nor forced closes. Runs like a champ.
I'm running the latest .214 leak and my battery life has improved over .211.
.214
Razr Maxx
I was having shorter battery life with the ICS .211 build and then updated to .214
My battery life is way better then it ever was with GB or ICS .211
I ran it the other day for 36hrs and 3 of it actually talking on the phone and had 20% battery life left.
It has currently been on for 4hrs 6 min and is at 90%. light email and phone use. I do have an IMAP email account that poles every 10 minutes with push for instant updates.
Mine is running fine after simple reboot
I am getting great battery life and my Razr Maxx is working almost flawlessly after the ICS OTA stock update. I just rebooted it shortly after the update when it was running hot and haven't had any problems since.
If .214 is even better, great.
Looking forward to Jelly Bean to get even more from my device.

Was on the soak test and had the same battery problems. Only way to fix was via a factory reset. This did however fix all the problems.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
As mentioned I have tried booting into recovery and clearing the cache, but it doesn't help.
Some have suggested wiping the dalvik cache. However I don't see that as an option in the recovery menu. Do I need to root to have that option? Excuse my newness to this.
Worst case I guess I'll just have to do a factory reset

So I updated my S3 to the latest Android version 4.1.1 and ever since i've had some issues. Firstly, it's taken a hit on it's performance, it's nowhere near as quick and responsive as it was before I updated (this is the first firmware update i've done since having it)
I've also noticed that my phone doesnt vibrate when receiving text messages. With sound on, the sound does make the noise it's supposed to, just no vibration, also when the actual phone is on vibrate mode, texts dont vibrate when received - the phone vibrates when I receive calls though.
I've checked the settings and everything is how it should be, so i'm not sure why this happens - has anyone else noticed this and also, how can I roll back to the previous firmware version!?
I have been using custom roms on my gs3 since day one ( 4 and a half months ago ) so i cant comment on performance of stock roms, but my my phone is faster than ever with Insert Coin 2.3.1 JB. Considering custom roms are based on official roms i would suggest doing a hard reset cause your device should be faster after the update. To enable the vibration you must do it within the settings of the message app. Open messages, press the menu button and enable vibration. Excuse my english. Hope this helps.

First day with custom rom user too.
I suggest ditching the stock firmware and try some custom one.
It's easy and no harm can be done(if you do it right of course)
The one i settled in the end is Foxhound so i'd reccomend you to use that one.
You can skip the kernel part and have the stock one but there are lots of good ones out there,so i'd suggest to start with Yank Lou kernel or galaxiysh since those are close to stock and don't need user adjustments.
If you need something more advanced to give you control try Perseus(i'm using this right now) or Siyah.
Cheers,George.

factory reset .... not always necessary after an upgrade ... but if there are any performance issues after flashing often sorts things - I ALWAYS did a factory reset after flashing my old SGS1 as it was very susceptible to flakey performance post-flashing for example.
...and upgrading from ICS to JB ... I'd reset if not completely happy.
That is true. Real multitasking was gone on JB.

My S3 also was very slow first. Then suddenly it ran fast a few hours after the update. Now again the launcher very often hangs up.

I don't think it is anyhow faster than ICS it only looks faster through modulation of the animations.
Anyhow it is not slower after all though the benchmarks suggests it might be a bit slower.
I think that data wiping can fix many issues. if you would like to go back to ICS, all what you need is to visit samfirmware.com ,download your suitable rom and flash it through Odin which I prefer so much over the OTA
problem with charging
hey guys i am facing a problem with charging my s3 ever since i did the official update to jelly bean a few days ago the problem is that it is taking about 10 hrs to just finish charging from 10-15% of battery to 100% this is one of the major reason why i finally decided to root and finally install a custom rom but it doesn't that the problem is fixed as my phone is on charging as i post its battery level just went from 9% to 25% in the last 2 hrs. can any body pls post any help regarding this problem that i'm facing? I shall point out that before the update my phone would charge up from 10% to 100% in 2-2.5 hrs

Thanks for your input guys, I think I might look into getting a custom ROM. I won't mod my phone too heavily, maybe find a nice battery saving app and also a few performance tweaks. It seems like there's so many out there I don't know which one to choose! I flashed my HTC sensation when I had it and for that I used the android revolution HD and didnt face any issues (that I can remember) so I might use this, or just see how I go. I havent looked too much into flashing for the S3 so I guess I best start looking!
Guys,
So i've just rooted my phone and installed the android revolution HD ROM by mike1986 and its ALOT faster than when it was on stock!
Whilst i'm here, what's the BEST way to save battery life? I know they're mentioned all the time but has anyone actually noticed any difference when trying to save it at all?
i must say JB is very good in performance..
using Omega v31 here... damn smooth

I've checked the settings and everything is how it should be, so i'm not sure why this happens - has anyone else noticed this and also, how can I roll back to the previous firmware version!?

I found that vibration issue as well but yer must turn it on through messages. pefromance wise I love jelly bean compared to ics so much more snappier and I never did a factory reset.

Enter in recovery mode, wipe cache, wipe data (loosing ALL data), and reboot.
