Issues after going to ICS - HTC EVO 3D

Stock 3D, never rooted/flashed.
after ICS:
-power and volume button reset no longer works, have to pull battery
-pandora does not work at ALL on 3g, loading forever, works fine on WIFI/4G
-battery consumption has been horrid, maps bat usage was high, had to ENABLE latitude then SIGN OFF turning it off.. that has helped
-wifi power consumption much more than gingerbread
-enflick touch works intermittently on WIFI, could be touch issue not sure
Kind of wishing I was still on GB :/

To address each:
-Make sure fast boot is not selected in Settings.
-Known issue with the current Pandora. Download version 1.5.13 and it should work again.
-Maps eats my battery if I leave GPS on (available) all the time. Turning that off until needed helps.
-Not sure.
I do sometimes run GB ROMs instead of ICS because it can be not as good. You may think about rooting so that you can flash some of the better custom ROMs.

If you aren't rooted, do a factory reset. A lot of people have problems after updating OTA, especially with a big upgrade like this going from GB to ICS.

1) Fast boot is not enabled, still can't reboot with power button / vol buttons
2) where do i get 1.5.13? must disable auto-updates so it doesn't end up back @ 1.6?
3) what a pain disabling GPS entirely, any other work around?

I'm disappointed that you can't add wifi on/off and auto orientation in the status bar with the other useless quick settings.

If you have a rooted phone, leedroid tweaks allows u to pull down the status bar and have quick setting, wifi on/off, mobile on/off and more

I second the idea for factory wipe.
You could always root your phone and flash a ROM, but maybe you dont want to do that.

1. My phone does that too. If the ROM I'm running doesn't have a boot to recovery option, I have to shut down, pull battery, then press volume down and power.
2. I'm on my phone, but go through Q&A for the past month or so and look for Pandora not streaming over 3g (our search google). And auto update off.
3. If GPS is on, Maps will use it. I use Tasker to turn on GPS when I run Maps and shut it off when I'm done.

Power saving on Gingerbread

What power saving utilities do y'all use for your wildfires? Unfortunately, toggle data hasn't been working with juice defender but other than that I'm using mainly that app to make my wildfire last longer! Also have y5 although it seems obsolete now with v3 of juice defender.
Really want toggle data, might even go back to froyo soon because of that

Do you mean turn 3G or mobile internet off? There's settings in CM7 to do that....
No I mean it used to toggle data off when screen is off and only turns on when screen is unlocked. I don't want to toggle it manually every time I turn the screen off.

You could try creating a serparate profile to lower CPU speed when screeen is turned off.

There's an app by a dev here on XDA called SuperPower I think, it's also on the market. I don't use it anymore but I remember it could successfully toggle data according to screen state

[q] ics leak cleanROM 4.0 save power mode?

What does the save power switch do in the quick settings menu?
I tried turning it in but didn't notice a difference.
I'm still using cleanrom 4.0 with the leaked firmware
It basically has default settings to turn off stuff that you probably already have turned off... wifi, GPS, screen to 40%, 4G, etc.. You can go into the power save settings and adjust stuff that you want to happen during the mode, but I already leave that stuff off to begin with.
Mine is still using 4g and GPS is enabled. Also didn't notice any difference with my screen brightness.
I already have wifi disabled.
maybe its not working with my setup

It adjust the sleep policy to shut off everything but data while it sleeps and makes it sleep faster. At least on BAMF it does sure it's the same on clean Rom. Also makes it sleep sooner like 15 mins instead of 30 or something like that

I noticed that the newest leak doesn't have the power saver menu in the power settings. I think that was removed this go-around. The quick setting doesn't seem to do anything anymore... pretty sure it's just a holdover from previous tweak menus.
There used to be an icon that would show up in the status bar when you turned it on... kind of a bummer, I thought the feature was great, I used it all the time when I was going to be out for the night. It really helped to slow down drain (and the responsiveness of the phone).

Problems after jellybean update

I am noticing some problems with my s3 after the official jellybean update. It feels like it has been rushed to the phone. For example it doesn't have the quick reply feature in the notification window. It does for missed calls but not for messages. This is one the most anticipated features for me. Also when watching you tube and you don't want the screen to rotate it now does. I want to lock the rotation so I only get the small video at the top when my phone is on its side. It worked before jellybean update. Also auto brightness has changed. When auto brightness is selected you can manually turn it up with the slider in the notification window and it disables auto brightness and changes to what you set on the slider. Now on jellybean you have to uncheck the auto brightness box and then slide. Little features like this are starting to make me feel like it has been a massive rush to get jellybean on to the s3 which is ironic seen as though it took long enough. I have the international i9300 model s3. Is anybody else noticing the problems I have stated? Does anybody know a way of changing/getting the features? Thanks.
They were definitely to busy with the Note II, I mean come on at least give their flag ship the same/some of the features that a bigger version of the S3 has... That sexy multitasking should have been on the initial jelly bean update.

I know what you mean. The note got great features like the multi window. Apparently that's coming before the new year but I highly doubt that. Are you noticing the same problems I am? Another problem I found is when screen goes off after inactivity you used to be able to press the home button a moment after it goes off and it would turn the screen back on leaving you at the page you was. Now the home button takes you back to the home when you press it. It's annoying you have to go back to the app.

Me too, my problem is the battery with jb lj4
I think there is a few little niggles but overal its pretty much the same.
The autobrightness don't disable automatically now when you adjust the slider as you can now actually adjust the autobrightness brightness, Not sure why though.
Google Now - leaving it active at the mo, but not really found any usefullness from it as yet. The Time home feature is ok, would be good if it actually showed the route I take home - Via motorway, rather than the route through city center which i don't take!!
The new notifcation bar - its ok, nothing major. Expect a bit of all these features will improve over time as well once apps get proper updates. Some work but don't have full functionally - Songpop has no notifications now for example.
Battery Life - I did find that my normal phone use on ISC which included about 50/60 mins worth of calls etc wi-fi left on all the time but only actually connected to wi-fi at home (just 2G & 3G at work) i would have about 55/60% battery life left by the time i got home from work, on Jelly Bean - with the same useage i had about 40/45% left. I am now back to the same as before on ISC, but i didn't disable google now or anything just turned Wi-Fi off when left home and turn it back on when home - results was 55/60% battery remaining a as on ISC. Seems that the Wi-Fi drains when not connected - either it keeps on searching which it might not of done on ISC or its the Google Now doing something (Does say improve location by keeping wifi on - does this even if not connected!!) - Least this way i can still use google now and see how it improves its tags overtime.
I am now using a App called WiFi Timer to automatically switch Wifi on and off when i leave/get home.
Love that it now has voice downloaded so you can text etc with no data connection - find its more accurate now as well!
Never had the small vids on Youtube when rotated phone so not sure about that. Take it disabling autorotate doesn't do this?
Good and Bad
My experience is as follows:
Good:
Sheer speed, no perceivable lag.
A problem I had with only half the SMS notification tone being played (before it cut off) has gone away.
Bad:
Battery drain terrible even when idle. Turning off Google Now, Location Services and Samsung Push Notification fixed this.
When I activate Smart Stay, the screen does not want to turn off 80% of the time - even when I'm not looking at it.
When I wake the phone using the home key, it exits the app I was in. Previously, this would wake the device and return you to the current app (after unlocking). I have a partial work around using the PreHome app; this way the app is still visible underneath the PreHome dialogue box and I just need to press Back to get to my app again.
Widgets, seem to refresh less regularly, particularly Messaging and Gmail widgets which seem to hardly even refresh when I want them too.
Of No Consequence:
The red charging led is a little dimmer when charging.
Overall:
The speed benefits outweigh the niggles - just!

No need for an App. You can do it inbuilt.

Yep i know, but this app is far better as it lets you setup different profiles for mornings, evenings & weekends etc which the inbuilt one don't. :good:
root?
i may just root my phone as i really am not happy with this jellybean update, nothing has really improved for me, if i root it and install a rom like codename all the features like quick reply would be there right?

interesting. a few things that i've noticed others having: cant turn off the power saver notification option in settings/apps/power. some are having wifi connectivity issues (possible fix: uncheck DLNA from settings/wifi/advanced). some are having graphic issues with the stock keyboard (possible fixes: 3+ power cycles, rotate from portrait-landscape-portrait, change keyboard type then change it back)
The screen won't come back on (without me hitting power) when pulling the phone away from my face while on a call.

So the MMS apk in the 1.22 version of ICS did the toggle where if I send a picture while connected to WiFi, the 3g data will kick on briefly while still connected to WiFi, send the pic, then toggle 3g back off. In the 2.13 version and this new 3.15 version, it doesn't do that. Like, ill be connected to WiFi and try sending a pic and the 3g data will not toggle on in the background. I have to manual turn WiFi off, wait for data to toggle on, send the pic, then turn WiFi back on and that's a long annoying process.

[ANNOYANCE] Missing speech to text (microphone) on keyboards (i know this was probably an intentional design change, but i hate it, why would you remove functionality that worked perfectly, yes i know you can do it via the Now app, but having to jump out of messaging/conversation to go to another app to quickly respond with voice is ridiculous) did anyone else notice it's still in the dialer app for searching contacts though?
[ANNOYANCE] No scrolling wallpaper option (not a big deal because it really doesn't buy you anything. but other launchers give you the option to lock it or wrap it)
[BUG] Proximity sensor wile making calls; when dialing with phone away from face the screen instantly goes dark, won't come back on until power button press.
[BUG] Light sensor; capacitive buttons don't light like they should. If light is dim enough that i can't see them yet bright enough that the phone disagrees i have to cover the sensor with my thumb to trick it into lighting them.
[BUG] Graphical glitches; probably a unique thing, but my battery widget has a button to view desktop (wallpaper) unobstructed, when returning from that the screen now goes wonky/staticky for a second, quite likely the widget though
[BUG] Graphical glitches; in maps i found that zooming in and out on the satellite view caused a bunch of annoying flickers. maybe a localized thing, i wiped cache and dalvik from recovery and that seems to have corrected for now.
[ANNOYANCE] Bookmarks widget can no longer be resized. This is obviously an HTC/Sense thing but it seriously changed the size of the widget on one of my screens and was letting it lay overtop of other widgets and app icons. There's the "Internet" widget that's a smaller size but it seems to never take a break. I use Firefox exclusively for my browser but in my power stats "Internet" was far and away the biggest battery hog on my phone. I must constantly be updating the screenshots of the pages it lists.
Also, the HTC sense input keyboard is all wacky! Doesn't work!

That used to happen to me...now it works. I really don't know what was going on with that...
One bug I'm seeing and idk if it's been mentioned
If you calibrate the keyboard and then use it, there will be some tearing and the keyboard will just look messed up overall
Also, the lockscreen doesn't have it's on set keyboard. So if you set a pin with the default HTC Sense keyboard you're pin lockscreen will use that number keyboard. But if you use SwiftKey, you get that number keyboard.
I don't think I remember ICS being like this

Flight mode/ airplane mode

Hi I am looking for a 'working' flight mod app or widget. I have used several so far but they are not turning off data. Its annoying at night when all is quiet at home to suddenly get a notification coming in. The little plane icon is usually there but the data is still on. So any thoughts on one that works on our phones with a rooted stock rom or modded rom? thanks
You can turn off "data" Settings in 4.2.2 (Settings > More.. > Mobile Network > untick Mobile data) or you can use the default Power Control widget to toggle data on and off..
if thats what you mean...

I'm using SwitchPro Widget setted up as notification panel toggles and it works fine except the torch.
OMG it does not work, didn't noticed before couse i usually untick wifi, data and sync before to set airplaneode on.
So any other app is working?
Thanks for the replies but the real issue still exists that even though the flight mode is activate in settings i am still getting SMS's and emails coming through and this morning when it was switched off there was no data at all coming through, maybe a reboot will fix a few things but that shouldnt be the case, should it?
I did a search for data switch apps and found one that switches off the data so that may do instead of a flight mode one. thanks again for your replies
