I'm returning my LG Optimus 2x for a refund due to sleep of death issues and was thinking about getting the Galaxy Ace....but then I read here on XDA that the Galaxy Ace suffers from the dreaded sleep of death as well!
I use wifi a lot, so this has got me really worried. With the Optimus 2x the problem seemed to be related to wifi also and it drove me up the wall. Is there any chance that this issue has been fixed in any recent firmware update on the Galaxy Ace?

stock firmware is pretty good if u ask me. rite now im still using zckpa. almost similar to cm with advance call setting feature. moreover currently it had the loudest sound volume of all ace roms. but the problem that still haunted stock rom is sod.
I should mention that in the month that I had it, I rooted my O2X and installed every ROM I could get my hands on (stock and otherwise) and nothing solved the sleep of death problem.
I'm not really enthused about the idea of buying another android phone and having to go through all that just to get the wifi working. I want it to work flawlessly out of the box.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I won't touch anything that has reported SOD issues with a bargepole, so I've ruled out the Galaxy Ace for now.
Will wait till all the new phones come out ready for Christmas I think.

Speaking from a personal view i think you should rethink. The ace is a wonderful phone. The feel and look are unmatched. Cm7 is easy enough to install, and to be fair you should consider it for any phone you buy. It will inprove the life of your phone and increase the abilitys of it. All android phones work in essence the same. Not with cm, its your call but be informed first. Every phone has its querks, you could end up with something worse.

The O2X was a wonderful phone and I would have been happy with it -but- it crashed 10 times a day or more. There are O2X owners out there who never had a single problem with their phones so I guess I was unlucky.
I could easily go down to phone house and grab a Galaxy Ace at lunchtime, but I am absolutely sh1t-scared that it has the same defect as the O2X I just returned. I just don't want the hassle, there's no rush - and I'm sure there will be some nice phones out in time for Christmas. The Galaxy W springs to mind

Well to be fair sod on galaxy ace is on all of them to my knowlage. Its wifi related. Cm7 fixes it completely, but i understand your consern. The only otherthing id say in its defence is it in thory can be overclocked to 1300mhz maybe even 1500mhz stable. The kernel isnt out yet, but im confident with such great devs on the ace it wont be long. And lastly if your looking to mod the ace community is already established, its frustrating to buy the latest phone and watch others with lesser phones doing things your cant yet. Im honestly not trying to convince you, im just completely inlove with my ace. The last phone i liked this much was 8years ago. Would hate to see you miss out. Im an ace fan and i can do nothing but recomend it.

Sure, its a good phone at a very good price. Looks nice too. There are two things going against it in my mind though: no 720p video recording and a low-res screen. Still, I'll have to pay at least 100eur more to get those features.
So is it really fair to say that all Galaxy Aces have sleep of death on stock ROM?
with the O2X you have at least some chance of getting a working handset, plenty of people say they never had the problem.

Yeah, all of them. Takes 10minutes to flash. As for the screen i would say this. . . It may not be hd, but you find another screen this bright and clear. Ive had an iphone with the same def, a nokia 5530 with higher def and a lg gt540 again the same def and not one looked this good. Its the best ive seen. Ace is epic. . . With cyanogen its legendary! You know best thing you can do is go in the shop and ask for a demo, bet you walk out with it in your pocket.

No, i have stock gingerbread 2.3.3 on my ace and it has no SOD issue, if you update to gingerbread officially it fixes the SOD issue as many people have found out.

Interesting - anyone else found the GB update to resolve the issue? from what I've read this wasn't the case for everyone.
Anyway, the Galaxy W is coming out in a few days, I think the extra cost would be worth it to get a higher res screen and 720p video recording. Plus it's 1.4ghz processor, better for games. So long as the GPS performance is better than the old Galaxy S this will be my next phone...though the Galaxy Ace is definately prettier it's cheaper for a reason
For me, versions KPN, KPO and KPT are the only ones which solves SOD issue. I think that issue is solved with all latest versions (2.3.3 and 2.3.4)
I've been having a lot of problems with my atrix ever since i updated the ios to the new 4.5.141.. First of all is that for some strange reasons that I cant hear people when they talk to me (they can hear me perfectly) I can only talk with speaker on. Second my phone keeps restarting on me when im on with pandora or when its just in my pocket.. I cant get a new one because my warranty is out. Help please???
I have tried a factory reset a lot of times...

Issues with ATRIX
Its probably A bad flash!... specially if it was OTA (over the air) <---bricked two phones with OTA upgrades... On another note I have owned my M-Atrix-4g, sense there release and never has is played well with any of the blur based roms (stock/custom)....random reboots, force closes, overheats and so on...Probably should have returned it back then... but to excited to farther my self from samsung....Ether way!! reading close to every post about the atrix on xda I stepped into the cm7 experience and my phone has thanked me....
Ya first off your dont have ios on your phone tha what the first couple post were giveing you hell about lol.
But for sure you should look into relfashing the stock rom or moveing to a custom rom suck as CM7 talked about above. Personally moveing to cm7 would be the best for you. but that is not a real easy task for someone that has never done much with phones (i am assuming your new to all this by refering to ios on your atrix no offence ment here) but there is a nob guide in the general section were you can lear everything you need to know about how to do eaither method i have stated just make sure you read it 3 to 4 times before you dive in and try to understand as much as possible by searching for answer to question that you will have

I have a question for all those guys that make a big deal about having their phone upgraded to ICS or JB. I would like to know what is the big difference or a feature that would make my phone Atrix that's stuck on GB so special? I mean, I can run any browser I want except maybe chrome, I can run any email app and watch and listen to music just like on upgraded phone... oh and lets not forget I can still make phone calls. Have I been living under a rock or do you know something I don't? Please let me know
Thanks for your time.

Well firstly, ICS/JB is soo much smoother and much more asthetically pleasing. Many more people prefer ICS/JB and they are entitled to their own opinions.
Also, many people are angry at MotoFail because they promised us ICS and did not deliver. This is what has caused most of the outrage.
Well, yes I'm mad myself that they did not upgrade my $600 phone. BTW I'm using GO Launcher so my phone still looks pretty good and I can't complain about not being smooth. If this is it, it ain't that bad.

Yes, for now most applications support GB, but as percentage of ICS/JB will grow, more and more application developers will dump GB support. There are some bugs in GB that are not fixed and probably won't be ever fixed, so some developers make workaround for them, some don't, so you can stumble upon one of those if you are 'lucky'. Most of new applications are primarily targeting new ICS interface with Action Bar, so they support GB with third party Action Bar library which also has a lot of bugs, some application features could be disabled because it is hard or impossible to implement them in GB. And things will get worse...

I agree, these two things may seem small, but going back from CM10.1 to CM7 makes it feel like my phone is very slow (although I'm sure this is more of a perception than a real difference).
ICS and JB bring UI enhancements. More importantly, there are apps that only work on ICS and above and will never be backported, Which apps are important to users, depends on the user. For instance, Brighthouse and TWC have cable apps that only work on ICS and above. And as time goes by, you'll find more and more newer apps will require ICS and later, especially since ICS itself was released 16 months ago.
But you're right, you can still make phone calls and you can still use 2 year old apps. But if all you care about is using just a phone, you can get one without paying for a smartphone plan for a hell of a lot less money. And while it's unrealistic to have the latest greatest software at all times for the term of the contract, the device at least should not be obsolete before the ink dries on that contract. While the device still mostly works as it did when it was new, the actual resale value has plummeted since the ICS update cancellation announcement, so much so that a decent protective case costs more than what the device is currently worth.
So when it comes to why people make such a fuss about ICS, aside from the cancelled update, and aside from all the marketing hype that went into the device that got people to buy it in the first place, and aside from the fact that ICS and JB are that much better or they wouldn't be considered updates/upgrades, some people like to at least be a little current. After all, why go buy a new computer when people will give you an old one running windows 3.11 for free? Who knows, maybe you can find an old Univac somewhere. While we're at it, why use anything new at all when we can go back to wearing animal hides and banging rocks together to make tools.
I should tell you about the security vulnerabilities as well, but I'm not going to. Sometimes the lesson becomes more valuable when the person learns on their own, even if it's with some rogue dialer hooking you up with one of those $100/minute pay per call lines like back in the days of dialup.

Go Launcher is smooth only after first one or two clicks. It has many advantages like foldering but for the smoothness, i dont think so.
What pisses me off about GB is notification bar pull-down. Sometimes it gets damn so laggy and slow.
Google Now, Multiple GTalk logins, stable push connection, data counter/limiter, better app support, interface that's easier to use and navigate, faster, and many other improvements.
Stable push connection is the one that really made me not want to go back. When I'm on mobile data on GB it would disconnect every 4-5 minutes, and then wait for a few minutes before reconnecting, and then disconnect again after another 4-5 minutes, ad infinitum. I can't tell you how many times I've been frustrated seeing gray status bar icons instead of green ones. And the fact that GB's push mail & market is dependent on the gtalk service doesn't help.
Gray icons? No gtalk messages, no mail, no downloading from the market.
Signed out of gtalk? No mail, no downloading from the market.
It was frustrating...
I don't care about staying in gb, imo the problem is that there are apps made only for 4.x+ and in a close future gb will be definitely dead.

I think you guys are exaggerating a little bit. I mean I went to the store and played with phones that run JB and my old Atrix is pretty much just as smooth. I can play Youtube videos in 1080p no problem. And Google Now... do I really need it? I mean I don't live in my phone or on facebook like some of you hard core cell phone users. Balintmaci what did you notice that was so special when browsing on JB OS? Im using Opera browser and it runs pretty fast.

Less reboots/stability
My stock FY/GB Atrix rebooted randomly a lot. It's the whole reason I looked into roots and ROMs in the first place.
I rooted...unlocked...and put epinters CM10 on my Atrix cuz Motorola said I couldn't!
Haha... good for you mister. Now I'm a total newbe so pardon the stupid question. When you guys flash roms to CMx... ie ICS or JB does this allow you to download and install apps that require that OS from play store?

Same. Got the device in September of 2011 from local AT&T store, in October it started randomly rebooting, even after several factory resets. Between that and the unified messenger spam, I was not impressed.

Stock 4.3 is nice, fluid, fast, no lags, reboots faced yet (not sure what feature u were referring to)... And thanks to xposed, i've got almost everything i otherwise get from aosp roms.. excited to finally have the headphone button working again.. never worked on any aosp builds... And i was on stock rom for just a day after I'd bought the phone 3 months ago. Bloody annoying to take this huge phone out of the pocket to change tracks while riding a back.. Wonder why no one else ever said a word about that nonfunctional button.. Guess no one else listens to music on z ultra..

With krabappel gone, n the gpe hype fading away n with the rest of the dev communities like cm or pa or even fxp not really giving a ****, i guess sony n xposed modules are our only hope for clinging on to this magnificent beast of a phone.

I'm on 4.3 installed via Sony Bridge some days ago and haven't had any problems since.
No random reboots at all. As a matter of fact, I think I powered it off just once to see if the boot animation had changed.
I have sound problems with the SBH52 though, as it doesn't trigger the SBH52 app when connected, hence not working right away giving commands from the headset itself (solved by uninstalling updates and re-update the Smart Connect app).
Also hearing a lot of clicking and noises while playing music, either with Walkman or Play Music.
No issues while talking on the phone. I guess it's a matter of updating the SBH52 app or the Smart Connect app.
If, and I repeat IF, this new update brings KitKat I hear A LOT of other brands fanboys screaming and throwing themselves out of the window... XD

I would guess it is a hardware issue with your phone, you'll have to send it in for repair - should only take a few days or a week at the most :angel:

my Note is still my "go-to" device , even with LG G2 Pro , Note-2 and Moto X , this is my daily driver , i cant seem to find the others without faults and the faults are numerous , having been replaced several times , the G2 just plain sucks , the Note-2 I love but cant seem to get one that works very long and the Moto X is awesome with xposed , but without an unlocked boot loader its just no fun whatsoever , Im still running Avatar rom on the Note 4.2.2 and besides a few crashes now and then its flawless !
Ha I'll trade you for your g2 then you can have 2 beloved notes.

Almost every single one of those days in the pic was 4h+ screen on doing all sorts of things from gaming to Web browsing, music, ect...
My note never achieved this, no chance it could ever touch my g2 in terms of pure daily driver

My Note 1 is still my second favorite phone behind my Note 3. I still use it regularly.

Please let me know what rom you use on your original note!
I looked at the original Note right before we signed our contract with At&t. I ended up going with the iPhone 5. I ended up selling my 5 for $350 a few weeks ago, and wanted to play around with Android some more before my upgrade in October. I picked up a mint i717 the other day for $100. It was still running ICS. I quickly rooted it, and now I'm running Beanstalk with uber kernel, and couldn't be happier.

been running avatar rom for damn near a year , I tried running a beta (very disastrous) ,was doing nightlies but stuck to a stable , now if you dont want kitkat stick with Blackstar (i think is the name ) cant be beat !
As far as the NOTE 2 goes ,Ive had problem after problem with it , nothing against it , just my experience and the LG is trash period , the Moto X is awesome for a stock (no chance of unlocking the BL) , i HAVE TO SAY IF I DIDNT GO CUSTOM THE MOTO X WOULD BE MY FONE!

OK cool I found the thread for avatar. It's based on CM. How do you fix the echo issue (other end hears loud echo of them-self talking)?

I dont have that issue and wasnt aware of it , I did have a similiar issue with my winfone Samsung Focus , cant remember how i cleared it but had to do with the secret menu on the phone itself
I'm still rocking the note!
Glad to see others are too. Sure it's had its problems over the years, but it's still running OK.
I had the power button issue, the GPS issue, and I'm on my 3rd battery, but I still love it!
I'm running Candy Kat 4.4, most stable for me I've found, but I'll have to look into the suggestions you've made on what your running right now, I'm do for a clean wipe anyway
Sadly I am in the market for an upgrade, I will probably take a chance on the one plus one later this year (when it might be possible to find an invite without fighting a few hundred thousand other people for it).
I figure for the price it can't hurt to give it a go. I am without contract right now and I'd like to keep it that way lol.
*EDIT*
Also, I have the same echo issue, I never knew there was a fix?

I love my Note but the USB port bummed out on me a few days ago. No longer charges, but I plan on getting it fixed. Beanstalk has been my DD for a month or so. I have been looking at other phones though, possibly a Nexus or HTC
While I have moved onto the Note 3 myself, my original note is still running strong for my mom. She was unsure about the size of the phone but after an hour of using it she said she'll never use another phone but the note. The custom ROMs pulled from this site have greatly lengthened it's life and useability.
if anyone wants to trade their note for a droid dna,hit me up. the droid dna is for verizon but it has a sim slot and works on any gsm network,no LTE tho but will get HSPA+.
I too was thinking of rocking a Note in 2014. Found one for $70, is it worth it?
I'll honestly say, my phone still handles all the things I throw at it, just fine. Games like asphalt 8, etc, seem to run just fine.
I actually just got an invite for a oneplus one, so I will be upgrading. But if I didn't have the option, the note would still be fine.
If you're looking for a phone, and you don't want to spend a bunch of money, and it's in good condition, $70 isn't bad for a note. If I can get mine on a more stable Rom I'll probably give it to my mom, her galaxy s2 is giving her fits.
