I know this has been mentioned in a few threads already, but it made such a difference for me I felt as if it should be on the front page, at least for a bit.
After I reset and manually reinstalled my apps from the market it's like I bought a new tablet. No lag, no anr, stock browser performs almost like the browser on my beastly gaming pc, games all work with much better frame rates. Everything is just so SMOOTH. I can even use the thing like normal when installing huge games from the market and not even notice its multitasking. All this with no tweaks of any kind.
Obviously YMMV but I can't recommend a reset highly enough from my own experience.
I'm gonna factory reset once I can get root and back up my apps

Yeah I kind of wish I still had root, but to be honest apart from ad blocking it only really used it to apply much needed tweaks, which I don't seem to need ny more.
Also, I I read in another thread someone managed to restore root on JB after a reset, going to try that tonight and I'll report back.
Yeah, I was able to restore root (I was rooted from ICS before the upgrade and factory reset). I think if you are able to get a root prompt from adb shell you will be able to restore. I used the debugfs method, it gave me a number of error messages during the process but by the end I had root again.
Happy days

I lost root but it was worth it (lost root during the upgrade and couldn't get it back anyway). Non-rooted JB after the factory reset is far smoother than 4.03 with root. It is a good trade off and I'm assuming someone will figure out how to root again anyway.

Project Butter. Google it. Understand.
I'd say to play around with it more before giving your final verdict, that's why I Ended up with a custom rom
I've factory resetted plenty of times but browsing doesn't perform as fluid as my og razr
I second this - my experience was
ICS to JB = not bad
Factory reset JB via JB 3x but did not wait too long between each reset = Slower I/O scores via benchmarks
BUT
Factory reset via Volume down and power - loaded to Home screen (but not setting up anything) and waited 1 hour with screen turned on, WIFI off and performance.
Then setup = Faster I/O scores via benchmarks by about 10 secs and after 3 days I really think it is now faster than it was - ALL STOCK.
Can't wait for root method - as I would like to try some of the tweeks to see if I can put the PRIME just a little bit more...
Overall very happy - but I was before!

I'm aware of Butter man, but it wasn;t even close to buttery till I did the reset, it was more like fudge.
While I don't notice improvements in the responsiveness (it was already fine for me), doing a factory reset after JB update solved annoying FC of the stock gallery and the stock camera apps.

My prime is running so poorly. I get many FC and things are not smooth. Multi-tasking is impossible. Browsers take forever to launch and load previous tabs. I hate to start over... but I'm getting to the point where I think it's for the best. My butter is more like molasses on a cold Wyoming morning.
After the update to JB I have a lot of spontanious reboots.
Maybe I should try a factory reset....
I'm also considering doing a factory reset...
So just to be clear, I'm not rooted and from a data/application/settings loss perspective, what do I need to make sure I have backed up? All my apps / widgets will re-install upon reset I assume, but what about my settings and files?
when i hold the power+vol down, i see: RCK android usb data wipe. what am i suppose to do from there?
I factory reset my Prime a week or so before JB, and when I installed JB, there wasn't much installed. Is it still worth the factory reset?
I've installed plenty of apps and games, hate to have to reset and re install everything again. Does a factory reset make it like CM10 speeds on the HTC One X like this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_eFGpET3dc ?

Press vol down 3 times to highlight ''wipe data''. Then, press vol up to execute it. It will take a couple of minutes to complete.

I don't get it, aren't you able to root the device again after the JB update? Right now I am running rooted JB (rooted in ICS then OTA update).
I appreciate if anyone could help me out here since I am debating if I should factory reset or not, I really want to stay rooted. Mainly so i can use my ps3 controller.

I reset my Prime to factory (in the settings menu) in hopes it would cure the green camera issue (and it did not) but now it runs SOOO much slower than it did before. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!???
Is there any other way to reset the Prime besides going thru the settings menu, like a hard reset?
I've also noticed GMail app is also VERY VERY slow now while before it was smooth as silk. My gf is on the tablet right now and even she said is there something wrong because ICS Browser+ is running slow. It's as if when I did the reset, it went from 6th gear OD to 3rd gear running at 3K RPM.
help? Thanks!
I would RMA it if I were you.
Have you tried a re-boot? I'd try that for sure!
Which "mode" is it running it? I sometimes leave mine in Power Saving mode without realizing it and wonder why my games are running like garbage.

i reboot more often now and while it does get better at first, something is slowing my system down.
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.

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.

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

I recently flashed Androwook 2.1 to my TFP. It was my first custom ROM put on here and I used TWRP. Installation went along with no problems. Since then, whenever an app appears to crash instead of getting the ICS notification that the app has crashed, instead my entire tablet shuts down. Furthermore, when attached to the keyboard dock and charging, I have come back to a crashed tablet twice in the past 24 hours. I am thinking it might be a battery heat issue but I do not know a normal range. On balanced mode (1.3 GHz) my battery temp is around 30C.
Also, my boot time is significantly longer than a stock (2+ mins).
I am running:
Cayenne heat kernel
All tweaks enabled
Stock boot animation
Stock launcher
If anyone has any input on why my tablet might be crashing all the time or if this is normal that would be great. It would be even better if someone had a solution.

I flash a lot. I also have noticed my CM10.1 running like total crap lately. I also went back to Sense about a week ago but came back to CM.
I have done this once before and had great success, and just did it again today and my phone is running super smooth.
1) Back up anything you care about (pics, music, docs, titanium backups, etc)
2) boot into recovery
3) FORMAT EVERYTHING.
4) Copy ROM to storage (might have to mount it)
5) Flash
I did not restore everything from TiBU, but installed most of my apps from the Play Store. I decided to install things as I needed them because I realized I don't use probably half of the apps I have backed up. I did about 20 apps from TiBU (no data).
Copy stuff back to your phone that you want to have on it...for me it was just pics and a few eBooks.
I know a factory reset and a flash would normally do the trick, but I think perhaps something got screwy when I went to the Sense ROM. Since did these steps this morning, my phone has not rebooted, crashed system ui, screen always wakes up, no proximity issues, and battery life is pretty good (stock CM kernel from Fly)
Edit: statement that proximity sensor issue did not occur has been revoked.
3)FORMAT EVERYTHING

I don't just wipe data and factory reset. I format the storage media and the system partition. If you have TwRP go to Wipe, advanced, check everything and wipe. Basically your phone is a clean slate.

First, backup all your files, including your SD Card.
@D8nkE posted these in the Infection thread
Boot into Amon Ra
Format data, system, cache Ext4 | Ext3 > Format all to ext3
Then Upgrade all to ext4
Hopefully this helps

I have noticed a lot depends on what you are flashing and what you are doing with it. I use FlyHalf's CM build and kept getting myself into trouble with custom kernels. I have been running incredibly stable for about a week now on stock kernel with no tweaks. I do have Autokiller Memory Optimizer installed now however. Not sure if it's helping, but it definitely is not hurting.

So I've been on Infection 2.7 since Sunday. Formatted as instructed, installed very little apps, all from the play store. Didn't restore anything (including my Nova backup, which I did almost every time before this), and I kept the stock kernel (Funky 3.4) without making ANY changes to the settings.
I have noticed that it is much more stable, as I have only gotten 1 or 2 FCs since flashing...I used to get 2-3 per hour. I am still getting the "hot reboot" on manual wake though. The scenario is this: "Notification!", I press the power button, the soft keys light up but the screen stays black, a few seconds later I get the infamous spinning matrix android. To me, because it happens almost exclusively on wake, it has to be related to the kernel/governor and have something to do with it pulling out of deep sleep.
I am following the Infection, SenseXP and Funky AOSP threads, and will try each of the new ROMS/Kernel/Recovery combos this weekend and post some results as soon as I get something definitive.
As always, post if you have anything else I can try, but for anyone wondering if its worth formatting....it certainly appears to have made my phone alot more stable, so give it a shot.
I have another user that is getting very similar symptoms -sans the FC's on a different rom I dev for. Best me and him could come up with is that it is a signal issue, causing a crash at low end. Try a minimum clock @ 432mhz.

Should I try HIRO, with Amon Ra, or is TWRP worth the hassle?

This may be another issue altogether.

I have another user that is getting very similar symptoms -sans the FC's on a different rom I dev for. Best me and him could come up with is that it is a signal issue, causing a crash at low end. Try a minimum clock @ 432mhz.

Is there a way to prevent deep sleep? I know this would destroy battery life, but it might help determine if its related to waking from deep sleep. In the mean time, I'll bump the min to 432.

Yeah, I'm on RA, HIRO, and Infection 2.8.1 right now, so we'll see how it goes.
You don't want to disable deep sleep. At max you will only get 2hrs of battery also could even trigger thermal throttling. Try a sense ROM with my kernel version 3.4 and report back that's if 432 doesn't work out.
Also try switching to Br0kens vanilla aokp.

UPDATE
Increasing to 432 did not solve the problem, but then I thought that my screen brightness app Lux may have something to do with it. After disabling the app, I didnt have a single quick reboot in 2 or 3 days. Just re-installed it this morning and rebooted on my first wake. I did not have any reboots on the stock live wallpaper or a replacement wallpaper, but I was on a non-live wallpaper when I got the reboot from the app.
If I have any more issues, I'll try the Sense or Br0ken roms and report back.
OP: Sorry for the thread jack, and thanks again for the tip to wipe. That plus what I mentioned above has given me the most stable experience I've had since March!
Things were getting wonky with more than usual reboots, no matter what rom I loaded. So I backed up pics, formatted everything in recovery (all partitions and storage, flashed (Beanstalk) and treated the phone as if it were new. No app or data restores, etc.
Phone is running super solid without any issues, not a single blip.
It's like formatting a hard drive and reinstalling the OS and rebuilding from scratch.

I am frustrated user of Note 8, received it early September 2017, been using without any issues until Oreo update arrived in May 2018.
Once phone was updated i have done factory restore and start clean, i have done same procedure twice as i am having the following issues running phone in high performance mode:
1. The phone used to run smooth in Power Saving Mode, now its sluggish
2. Pretty sure there is greater delay between finger print sensor reading and screen turning on
3. General UI laggy, in performance mode its no longer as snappy as it used to be
4. The edge panel can sometimes slide out but stutter on animation
5. Camera launching from the hard button press, can have delay or stutter to launch too
6. Battery feels like gotten worse
Anyone else can agree?

Are you on the original Oreo update?
Never had any problems...
I agree with OP. It has gotten worse. I use to go a full day without having to charge it. Now after Oreo, I'm at near 78% after 4 hrs of YouTube background play compared to 86 to 84% on nougat.
factory reset your phone. my battery and performance has only gotten better since 8.0.
Got to agree with everyone I'm on AT&T Note 8 running smoothly like butter no issues at all on Oreo.

Yes, not rooted
Maybe it's different for me, my phone is unlocked, update came via Samsung direct.
Already reset my phone twice so won't be doing it again, just want it back how it was.
This is nonsense, Note 8 got better with every Oreo update month by month, everything is butter smooth and battery is better than Nougat.

How is it nonsense? So because yours and others work fine, this person can't be having issues? Why do people keep making such ignorant statements without thinking things through?!
Others have had a bad experience with Oreo, and not just a handful(5).

He is probably busy posting other nonsense replies.
Have you seen any similar threads to mine with resolution? I dont sign in here much anymore, partly due to Note 9 software been so good that I felt it needs no rooting and was happy with stock setup and apps from Google play store.

I disagree. My Exynos N950F has still been smooth since the day I got it out of the box. I only got the base update to Oreo (possibly due to my CSC). My experience has been good so far. My phone has never been sluggish while playing games or multitasking using multi-window or App-Pair (whatever the feature is called in the GraceUI).
I'd suggest you backup, wipe (again), and restore your phone in increments until you find the root cause. I'm willing to bet that your issue is with an app that runs in the background. Are all your installs from the Google Play Store, and not APKs from questionable third parties?

As I said I won't be resetting for 3rd time, if it was dirty app I would of identified. If you are familiar with recent android features if got pretty at identifying bad apps too.
After each reset I gradually loadedvphone with apps and settings.

I'd flash latest full stock with Odin using full wipe. Better than factory reset for clearing out persistent issues. Aside from that not sure what else can be suggested. Oreo has been running great here with every OTA.

I suggest downloading the firmware of the version you are currently on if you care about rooting in the future and flash it with Odin. Seems like you're on v3 bootloader based on your post. Go from that direction with testing.
I agree with the battery being worse. For me standby drain is way higher on Oreo. On N I would lose about 5% overnight. Now around 11-15%. Phone is smooth though
Yes I agree oreo is laggy and a battery hog on my at&t note 8. Other then the android version being different I see no visible ui changes vs 7.1.1. Why do they keep changing the bootloader? Dont understand that.

Do you have a Snapdragon or Exynos device?
My Exynos N950F only drains 1% overnight, but I only got 1 update TO Oreo since I got my device (out of the box).
