Ics 4.0.4 problem!! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, So I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 to ICS 4.0.4 before 1-2 months. The new graphics and extra features looked really great at first, but 2 hours after using it on normal applications (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.) It froze and did nothing, like literally just freezes at the screen it lagged on. This has been happening continuously for the past 2 months and I'm really sick of it, I upgraded my phone and my dad's one (both SGS2I9100) using Samsung Kies, ever since that, it just keeps freezing like 4 times a day and I have to take off my battery and re-put it so it can reset since nothing will do this.. The old the firmware I had was the really amazingly going well and never lagged even once (I can't remember which firmware though). I'm a total noob, I didn't and don't have my phone rooted or some stuff like that, expect downloading APKs off the internet lol.
I really want someone to help me in this, I know there must be a solution since I don't think I'm the only one who has been annoyed by this, specially when it happens on a daily routine. I searched over the forums and found nothing.
I know there must be something talking about the issue but I'm too nooby to understand the article titles which might be a solution of my problem. Please help me in my problem it really bothers me and xda is my last hope...
Thank you all.
Note: please use simple terms because I really won't understand, and if you do, please teach me them lol.

Why?!

Please create only one thread... and even then, if the problem has been address elsewhere, you should be posting in that thread.

ICS updated but want Ginerbread back i think

I waited and waited. Thought about rooting and using a ROM before the official ICS update came from AT&T but just decided to wait. Finally got the update via Kies, excited like a school girl. Initially it was a cool new bit of scenery, and as the OS settled in with me, i found myself disappointed and wanting my gingy back. I've been upgrade for a couple months now i think, and had plenty of time to try to get used to it.
I am finding lots of things that just plain suck.
1 - Text message notification audible alert discontinues after awhile (unknown amount of time), only resolution I've found is to reboot the phone. This sucks because just out of nowhere my text notification tone stops. Everything else like ringtone etc is fine. This is a dealbreaker for me almost. This worked fine on Ginerbread.
2 - new Swype software gives me problems when the word suggestion feature stops working completely. Swype is hard to do without word suggestions at times. Only solution i've found is again, reboot the phone. This sucks. I know, don't use swype, but i WANT to use it. It worked perfectly on Gingerbread.
3 - the widget for Google Voice is super tiny now, and i don't see a way of making it bigger. It's approximately the size of 4 icons, whereas before on Gingerbread it was huge and you could easily read/see your voicemails. Maybe i'm missing something on how to change the widget size, but i see no way of doing it.
4 - my News and Weather widget, which i used for weather and news all the time, since my original Galaxy S, does not display any weather information anymore. Just says "No Weather Information". this worked fine on Gingerbread. I guess different phone OS makes widgets work differently. I just want mine to work as expected. News still comes through fine though.
5 - Unlocking the screen seems more difficult now, usually takes me a couple tries, whereas it seemed really smooth and awesome before the update
6 - Power Saving widget is huge now, takes up half of one screen, whereas before it was just 1 row and you could scroll across. Why make it bigger and take up more room with no additional functionality?
After listing all this out, i'm trying to think of the things i LIKE about ICS update, and i can only think of one, which is the data monitoring/limiting which is kind of a cool feature. I doesn't seem any faster really than before. So overall, i honestly was happier with Gingerbread. 6 things that i find that suck versus one thing i like.
Maybe this is me being picky, but as excited as I was to get ICS, i'm equally disappointed in the upgrade. My wife uses a Galaxy Note and it is available for her phone now, and I told her don't bother with the upgrade.
Anyone have any advice??? experience the same problems? I know i could root, install a custom rom etc, but i really like the touchwiz stuff from samsung and i was really happy with just the stock gingerbread OS, even with all the bloatware, i just disregard all that junk.
I'm having the same problem with text notification I just notice that I get a text it would sound but just about an hour ago it just stopped I would get a text and nothing ringtones works and everyrhing but I think is a ics bug maybe it would get fixed in the new update 4.0.4

at&t sucks. bottom line.
Advice, if you want to stick with touchjizz, run a custom one, there are plenty that *should* have those issues taken care of.
But the widget size issue, thats just looks, with a different launcher can change size of widgets.
Lol I called this one. A bunch of people upgrade to stock ICS. Then they complain and want to switch back, mess it up, and start new threads. Hopefully they all learned their lesson about carrier upgrades . I mean even I tried it, just to see what it looked like and how it functioned. Then again I knew how to get back to a custom Rom Before I did it. It's actually not too bad, but there were just too many bugs and battery life was too bad for my taste.

It isn't 100% on all phones it seems to be random but instead of posting something VERY VERY risky for people not so inclined to troll the forums and find out about the risks of certain actions why not shut up or post what you think will work then link them to a topic showing what bad could happen. You just seem like you want people to brick and make more topics about how they tried to reset and bricked. You also need to think of Google searches that link to this topic and they read it and see you said reset and they do it. It isn't just xda its anyone with the internet don't lead people to a possible brick

The only way to go "back" to Gingerbread is to flash UCKH7 straight stock or one of the Gingerbread stock plus root packages in Entropy512's thread. So yes, use that, or one of my guides.

LED indication not working

New to this so be gentle
Got galaxy S 3 the other week Everything super cool ehmm apart as the title suggest the LED doesn't and has never worked.

What rom are you using, mate? I'm sure stock rom LED works, and almost non-stock ROMs i've tried have LED working.
Just the stock rom mate. Seems to be a bit of a rarity for it not to work as not came across anyone else with same issue. Lucky white heather eh...
Not a deal breaker I can live without it, but if they was a solution I happily implement it.

Bugs since ICS update

Since, i have upgraded my galaxy S2 firmware to ICS. There have been a number of issues. I have read around about issues related to wifi and battery drain. But i am experiencing a bit more than just these ones. Whenever i access my contact list and try to make a call, the phone hangs...or rather loads for a long time till the phone call is placed. Also, when i try to type a message the keyboard doesn't show up at times. Does anyone know any fix for these problems??? I have tried hard reset and clearing the cache option already. But it didn't help . I would really really appreciate if someone could give me a solution.
Thanks guys.

Does anyone have a remedy? or a suggestion?
Sorry, I have no solution for the problem. I got the same Problems with my I9100G since I've updatet to ICS 4.0.4
The keyboard hangs very often and sometimes the complete Phone hangs for 10 seconds and more. The only workaround I've found is a little app called "Fast reboot pro". It kills all running apps with one click (I think there are some similar task killing apps in the market) and it helps. But that's not a real solution, I know.

Hello theunderling, It was really my first Post here and I have to say very thank you for your warm welcome words. I know, everyone has a bad day from time to time. You should more try to chill, it's better for health and soul. Maybe you was very annoyed and didn't see my words about the workaround? And yes, I am interested to hear from other users the possible known problems after update to ICS. Anger makes you blind. That's not good my son.
Have a nice day.

I'm assuming you upgraded to ICS from GB. I faced the same issue when I did my upgrade. Was very waiting so long for the official ICS upgrade.
I read some place that when you are moving from one version to another, like GB to ICS, its advisable to do a factory reset, wipe data, cache and Dalvik memory. So I rooted, did the above and flashed in a custom ICS ROM and its been smooth since.

Hello ares06, it seems to be the reason for that issues. I've updated my phone directly from GB 2.3.6
There were some threads in other areas and they said the same things as you. I've ignored that and it seems that I'll have now much additional effort. Man I hate it to do all the installations of OS and all apps. Would be better to spent effort next time with reading of how to's before I start any updates.
But thanks to you for that important answer.

I'm sure you must've read about rooting. My suggestion is that you root, install this app called Titanium (it backs up all your apps in a few minutes), factory reset your phone and wipe all data and flash in a custom ROM. After installation just do a restore of all your apps from Titanium. You'll have all your apps back in a jiffy. The whole process should take you max an hour. Totally worth it if you ask me

Hi Ares05. Thats cool. But which custom rom do u suggest?
since we're talking about problems, my SGSII (SHW-M250K, olleh KT) decided that after the update to ICS 4.0.3, it would stop reading my SIM card. I'm going to try going back to Gingerbread to make sure that the USIM isn't completely screwed because its also an NFC USIM authenticator. The SHW-M250x series is probably one of the most unique of the SGS2 family, because they are only sold in Korea, Hong Kong (and Malaysia i think). And i have lost sleep so let me put this in here right now for anyone that has an SHW-M250x series:
THERE IS NO ROM SUPPORT/ROOT KERNEL SUPPORT FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S II ORIGINATING FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA - BEST BET IS TO FIND A GT-I9100 OR WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET OFF THEIR KEISTER TO BUILD ONE FOR THE M250x SERIES.
I will post later with details if the USIM is busted due to the update.
Samsung Galaxy S II (SHW-M250K, KT olleh)
Android Stock (ICS 4.0.3)
I'm in Indonesia (which is in SouthEast Asia) and my S II is rooted.
People sell GT-I9100 here anyway. But not in East Asia.

[SGS3] very deep sleep and cant wake up

I am not sure this was posted or not, however if it has, please point me to the right direction as I am not able to find it.
Situation:-
Using the phone as per normal. It auto lock or manual lock it. Wanna unlock/wake up the phone it doesnt. This happened once in awhile not sure when as unable to determine the cause as sometimes running a game and I lock it and sometimes lock it without running anything i.e. back to home. To wake up, I reboot the phone by long pressing on/off button. Was using CheckRom ICS... And at one occurance the phone really died on me and unable to reboot no matter what I did. Sent in to SC and got back a new Motherboard.
Now it is happening again. Now in JB 4.1.2 (OmegaRom). The phone just fell in to a deep sleep and cant wake up unless I reboot the phone. I hope I dont get the forever slumber/sudden death situation again.
Anyone can give guidance or advise on how to check what is the matter or anyone having the same experience?
Flash back to stock and check if it occurs. If it does use triangle away and send it back in mate

I don't recall it happened to me while using stock touchwiz roms.
However, since I've moved to AOSP roms (first AOKP M1 and then JellyBam), it happened to me 3 or 4 times now.
Do you get it also on touchwiz roms? Which OmegaRom are you using?
Wich kernel are using my mates? Maybe that is problem, combination firmware and kernel...
Regards
using latest OmegaRom... as mentioned... first happened in CheckROm and even in Wanam...
Was using siyah kernel... so now testing Perseus and see wtr this happened or not...
Just happened when I have monster warlord running and locked it.. when I unlock... it happened again... must be something like not enuf ram or went into deep sleep... very strange indeed. Nevertheless change to Perseus to test out different kernel for now...

Same happened with my phone. Go to see what it's up to and suddenly its not responding. The only option is to hold power down until it reboots.
It would also do it on in coming calls and managed to delete a text which arrived shortly before it froze.
Hoped upgrading to the latest firmware would help, didn't. Going without root, nope. Freezing apps in Titanium, still no joy.
Finally this morning I had enough and went for a full wipe. Very little installed but no problems since.
Would suggest doing the same, especially if you plan to sell the phone anyway.

Have the same problem with mine, using the latest wanam stock rom and every now and again the phone will either just restart or lock with the screen off (led notification will keep blinking however).
Just trying the official Vodafone rom now through Odin. If this doesn't solve it I think the phone will have to go back.
To note: issue appeared after installing some root apps. Notably adfree and beats drivers. Anybody else have either installed?

When did it happen? Was it around Wednesday last week? Just thinking that maybe an updated app or something?
I have now updated again using kies with the official 4.1.2. I have no problems with restarts when using the stock apps. I have however had issues with the google servers and now believe this to have been the main reason for the crashes earlier (Christmas new phone activation traffic?).
Out of interest, have you been running adfree or the beats audio driver? I had mine working all day yesterday, installed both and then the hangs started coming back again.
Also worth noting that adfree now states that a newer version is available when loading up, but non exists (that i know of?)

I do run AdFree, and yeah, I saw the notice about the new version - it's a different app entirely... still called AdFree, uninstall the old one, and install the new one. Not sure why they did that.
I'm at a loss - I just reinstalled XELL4, and it's still doing it. Short of doing a full wipe and starting afresh (which I really can't be bothered with), I don't know what else to try. Was working fine up until now.

I'm an Idiot (Adroid Tuner Free Data Problems)

I have the most basic knowledge of rooting and have only done it on an Eris which had a 1-click method.
My i-717 came rooted.
I have now managed to temporarily bootloop my Note twice through Android Tuner Free so I promise once I fix this I'm deleting it.
Long story short waiting at the court house for 5 hours, began mindlessly clicking around the settings I (thought) I understood.
Now neither wifi nor data will connect to the internet longer than a couple minutes, usually at startup.
No idea how I did this and my assumptiom that there was a nandroid image was incorrect (I've made one now though).
I know I'm an idiot, please don't shame me

I have the most basic knowledge of rooting and have only done it on an Eris which had a 1-click method.
My i-717 came rooted.
I have now managed to temporarily bootloop my Note twice through Android Tuner Free so I promise once I fix this I'm deleting it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should be able to uninstall the app and all the settings you tweeked resort to default.
I will try that and update on how it goes. Thanks!

Wow thank you so much that was super simple! Can't figure out how to thank on xda app but, you know.
Not that you necessarily know this but it didn't fix this thing where the phone repeatedly goes to the pass code lock screen whenever something's loading. Much more minor of a thing tho.
Oh, so many questions. Again not something you would necessarily know but is there any sort of resources to help me understand the rooting process more? I want to understand what kernals are and things like that. Thanks!

This thread will help you understand more.

Read over that, and I'll explain the rooting process tomorrow when I have time. Unless someone else beats me to it.
This lock issue... when is it happening? What is loading that makes it pop-up?
