I had this problem on the 23.03 as well, but didn't notice until this morning when I tried to make a very important business call from work
Much to my dissapointment I cannot make any phone calls using Hydrogen-23.03
So I updated to 25.03 since it is out now
Same problem
After some quick re-flashing and testing I find the problem is to do with the screen density....
When the phone is set for mdpi (160) the com.android.phone app force closes as soon as you hit the 'call' button
I have to keep the phone set at standard yucky 240dpi to make any phone calls
I have tried doing the factory data wipe, plus tried wiping the dalvik cache.. also tried deleting the data of Phone app... nothing seems to make it work at 160dpi
It's a known bug on AOKP that the dialer will crash upon making or receiving calls if the DPI is set below 182. Just set it to that and you should be fine.
No idea if a fix is already in the pipeline.

Will I have any Market issues at 182? I used to choose 160 because it's a standard option, I assumed it might be more compatible and now I've kinda gotten used to it.... I will try 182 though, because I really want to run Hydrogen (today I flashed FoxHound 7.0 and it's nice and I like the apex launcher, but Hydrogen was just so cool with its AOKP awesomeness and the ROM Control menu is great, plus it's a very cut-down ROM which I prefer because so far I can't get any good battery life from my SGS2
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, using 182 will cause compatibility issues since it's a non standard resolution, but you can get around it with LCD density modder pro.

Phone bricked?
Hi, first post, hopefully at the right place.
I've just installed HyDrOG3NICS. Unfortunately, it seems to have bricked my SII.
I get a black screen, that's all. No recovery mode, no download mode, nothing.
Is there anything I can do to get back either the recovery or the download mode?
Thx a lot

You have a blank profile, and you only state you have an "SII".
Check what model of SII you have. It will be on the label under the battery.
US carriers all carry a completely different model of SII than what this forum is for (GT-I9100). If you have an American carrier model of SII, you are in the wrong place, and flashed a firmware that wasn't meant for your phone, and may have completely borked it.
Hi thought I'd post this hear. Unable to receive and send picture messages since I flashed the from. Quite new to all this so I've probably done something wrong!
Also how do you change the dpi?
Thanks

You need to be rooted to do this. From what I can tell, HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 is NOT rooted unless you root after installing it.
Also, it's pretty rude to hijack threads, unless you are having the same problem the OP of the thread is having. That applies to both you and soho123.
Yikes! Apologies for offending you!
Only posted it in this one as it was linked to the same ROM!
I'll try not to be so rude in future.
But thanks for the reply anyway.

Doesn't offend me. But it goes against one of the forum rules. (off-topic posting)
It may be the same ROM, but it's a totally different problem.

if you flashed the HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 rom you can change them through
settings>>Rom Control >>General UI >> LCD Density.
It will be set to 240 by default. do not change it unless you know what you are doing.. anything less then 182 causes issues with market and phone app on the AOKP rom which HyDrOG3N-ICS is based on
Thanks nomi.
I'll read into it a bit more before i do anything. Curiosity gets the better of me when I read so many posts about tweeks and features.
ctomgee, point taken. I'll try not break anymore rules. Thanks for heads up.

Sounds off topic, but if when you say "it should work shouldn't it", you are talking about the HyDrOG3N-ICS ROM, then yes, it should work. Unless you didn't follow the installation instructions exactly.
Hard bricked, so your phone does not react with the battery in and any button presses at all?
I searched alot for this fix but really only found moded Play Store apps. It turns out the fix is a lot more simple than that. No modded apps required (this worked for me and hopefully for you.
When you change the DPI, you get Google Store "incompatible apps" problem. The fix is this. First, I went to the app and deleted the cache. Then I uninstalled the google play store app. Reboot the phone, made sure the dpi setting of my phone was where I wanted it to be, in my situation, 260, then relaunched the google play store or market (whatever its called after you uninstall it). It reinstalled and presto....all my apps came back. I think it does a call out to the system to see what dpi your phone is running at and stores that somewhere...then serves you up what is compatible with your phone based on the first time query settings. Anyway, this worked for me and hopefully for you.
And I am running ICS 4.0.4 running the OnlyOne Rom version 4. I am not sure it will work on other versions of android but am pretty sure you have nothing to lose by trying it.
Please tell me if it works for you.
thanks

This only works when the play store your using is modded for dpi changes, other wise it will come back after awhile. This is a known fact why the make the modded markets. But maybe I'm wrong, doubt it tho!

It will change when the market does a check on your phone. The modded markets stop the check and the upgrade that the market does after it realizes what dpi your running. no telling when it will check, I figured once you app needed an upgrade it would check but maybe its on a scheduled timeframe.

I had to have my S2 replaced under warranty this week because of failure of the USB port. The replacement came with ICS 4.0.3 already installed. After a day of getting all my stuff moved over, rooting the phone, and re-installing all my apps today I went out and paired the phone with my 2012 Ram. My previous S2 has worked flawlessly with this vehicle since day one. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my Outlook contacts to sync to the phone via Hotmail Connector, only the Google ones. This had been working for me prior on rooted stock GB. The truck had no problem pairing, but doesn't want to dowload the phonebook for some reason so I can't use voice dial and incoming calls are not recognized. Is there enough difference between GB and ICS to have caused this? I don't want to go back to GB, but this is a deal breaker. I don't really see all that much improvement with ICS anyway. I need my phone to work as it was.:crying:
Test gb and see
Bleh

Dude you should have waited to get the replacement. The USB part for my phone just came in today and I just finished installing it. I'm charging up my phone now and will report back in your original thread on whether or not the charging indicator stays there after I unplug it. Replacing the chip was super easy, btw.
Edit: it wasn't your thread, but you posted in it. It's in the Q&A section.

Pointless thread? I don't want to downgrade, I wanted to find out if anyone else had seen an issue like this or had something better to reply with other than, "Flash back and see." Sorry if I took up space better used by another clueless newb asking how to revert to stock or how to flash his Skyrocket.
FYI, I finally got the Outlook/Hotmail sync working (I would tell you how, but since no one cares...). Now to see if I can get my phonebook to download to the truck. As for Lekerstein, I really didn't want to be messing with the USB connector when the phone is still in warranty. By getting a replacement I also now got another month added to my warranty and an updated phone, so I'm good. Hope yours works out for you.

Yes and no. It appears that the original method that worked on GB for setting up MS Exchange sync of the phone with Outlook via Hotmail no longer works on ICS. I simply tried a different method and that was the charm that worked. The functionality is still there, it just takes a different setup method to get it to work.:good:

you mean unroot right?
Don't unroot. Go into the android development and hacking forums and find a script to make your phone faster, and flash it in CWM recovery. If you can't do that, overclock your phone using the No Frills CPU Control app off the Play Store. Make sure both sliders are at the end and that your governer is Performance. Also, try out Auto Memory Optimizer, that's a good app for retaining your speed. And of course, always close apps when you aren't using them.

That's not how my friends S4 works, it is extremely responsive and fluid. Apps work without hiccups and even multi tasking is awesome. The first thing that came to my mind when you posted your phone's symptoms were, did you purchase it brand new from a shop? Is it on stock FM? Did you actually check it at the store before your purchased it?
Yours could be a FW or a HW problem. Is it possible to take the phone back to the store and have them fix/replace it before attempting software fixes?
So I am loving the note! What a beast of a phone. The only down side is I feel like a lot of accessory are not out yet. I did get it rooted but I have a few questions still.
1. its rooted and keeps telling me I need to update. I turned the setting off for checking for updates but its really annoying to keep getting this pop up. Is there a way to stop the phone from telling me this?
2. Now that I am rooted is there a way to install the new updates with out loosing root or tripping knox?
3. Since im rooted is there a way to get google wallet working?
4. How in the world did I put up with the evo lte so long?
Anybody? This notification is so annoying!

You may want to see if someone has a deoxidezed stock rom or switch to a AOSP rom. AOSP don't have update notifications. The uploaded stock based roms usually have it the notification removed or disabled.

Not really. Doing any OTA updates always runs the risks of loosing root. You can try using something like Voodoo Root Keeper, but not guaranteed to work. SuperSuperUser has some functionaltiy to try to save root. I think TWRP may it as well. Like the rest or the root keeping tools, none of it is guaranteed to work. In my experience though, they have saved my rear a couple times, on a different phone.
Best policy, just wait a day or two for someone to upload the updated stock rom that has root. Plus, in that time, you'll find out if the update is FUBAR'd or breaks any of your favorite apps.

I'm the "Ditto" and the "And how", not the OP, but I share his pain.
I wasn't trying to imply you didn't know better. I was more answering how the OP possiblely was ignorance about the Note 3, although not the greatest answer.
I'm still on the Note 2. But going from the Evo 4G to Note 2 was a new world open up to me. That may be par for the course when you go from a two year or more old phone to a new flagship. Not that aren't differences now, the hassle or breaking my contract and costs for benefits of upgrading didn't seem worth it. Plus, maybe, if I'm luckly, the Note 4 will be a 6" screen and have the triband to take advantage of Sprint's Spark's network compatibles.
That said, it's can be challeng keeping up with all the new tech on phones. And with that, there is always something better around the corner. I just know I was elided when Sprint got the Note II since I wanted the original Note and the first Dell Streak (5" smartphone). I've bought into the Kool Aid called the phablets and don't see me going anywhere.

1. its rooted and keeps telling me I need to update. I turned the setting off for checking for updates but its really annoying to keep getting this pop up. Is there a way to stop the phone from telling me this?
2. Now that I am rooted is there a way to install the new updates with out loosing root or tripping knox?
3. Since im rooted is there a way to get google wallet working?
4. How in the world did I put up with the evo lte so long?

I don't understand what everyone's big problem is . You don't want the update notice than update. 2 step process
1] odin the official mj4 file
Can be found at sammobile.com
2] root it via kingoapp
Done

What @cherylbaker said is correct, you will need to Odin the Stock MJ4 and then go through your root method again.

No worries. Just sayin I didn't know what a horrible phone I had. Now I do. The N3 really nailed the WOW factor.

I didn't have the horrible previous phone. My situation, I knew my phone had just become dated. I was running three different roms through boot manager, which I needed to switch roms depending on what I needing to do. I have feeling I may not be quite as bad with the Note 2 in a year, but I think it'll be showing it's age by then.
But going to the Note 2, I had the same feeling. It was a breathe of fresh air. Like the tech heavens had reopened. I'm just hoping there is nice leap in hardware from the Note 2 to Note 4. I see the it more it just being a minor upgrade to the Note 3. Kind of like what Apple was doing with iPhone and the S variants.
Thanks guys! I did get it rooted with root-de-la-vega and I am knox 0x0. I also got the notification to go away by freezing the "update service" with TB. Im not sure I want to update at all now, this is seriously the most solid phone I have had in a long time and it works flawlessly the way it is. I cant see any reason to update at all. to be honest im not sure how to tell what version im on now with a Samsung phone lol.
As for the evo, I was not a bad phone, it was pretty good at the time, it is not note close to the excrescence this phone gives you! I will say HTC does make a better "feeling" phone, but I could care less! I want it to run like a beast!!!!!! Plus I put all my phones in cases on day one so what it feels like only matters for a few minutes lol .

Glad you're set. I really hated my Evo, but I had the original Evo also, and Evo 2 couldn't compare so it left me grumbling. Very true about the feel. The Evo feels more substantial to me, but like you I'd rather have the beast (case goes on all my devices day one, too). :good:
Enjoy!
