So, since this update is completely broken, I would like to know...
For those of us who DID get the FOTA and installed it...Once this update has been fixed and re-pushed, will we also get the new update, or am I stuck now with this broken 4.1.2 update?
What's Broken:
-App preferences do not stick (ALWAYS asks what gallery or launcher to use, etc.)
-Battery Life sucks now
-40% of texts now fail
-15% of calls are dropped
-Inaccurate battery readings (For example, will show 23%, plug it in, jumps right to 40%+)
I have tried to pull the battery, reset within menu, and reset via key press.
No idea but i think if anything we will be going to 4.2.1 or higher as the bugs were fixed with higher jelly bean roms honestly go back to ics using offline kdz flash by cmahendra

Nope, bone stock. And rooting this phone is a PITA (Pain in the ass). LOL. In order to root, apparently I still have to use the program that is giving me issues.
T-Mobile/LG would not leave us stuck with bugs. It is obvious they will push a newer OTA to fix these issues.
I was not aware that we are having this many issues since I am running CM 10.1 . I feel for ya man. Hang in there. Hopefully it won't be long.

FINALLY!!! I got things working properly... I ended up going back to ICS 10G. Can't find the 10E, so I'm still without root for the moment. However, all app preferences stick now. So it certainly was the JB build that I had.

The only thing I can think of is I either had a bad download, or disabled something that was helping to hold the defaults. Day 2 back on ICS and all is still good.

NO, i checked everything
i would try to lock the bootloader, flash the stock RUU, unlock bootloader again, flask recovery, and then install the ics rom again.
remember, when flashing the stock isc RUU (PH98IMG) there is two parts to the installation. it will say everything is upgrading and then REBOOT back into bootloader. press power and then the phone with check for the PH98IMG again and begin the second part of the installation

Aready tried it. I am on the leaked firmware.
It seems that most of the issues with ICS and battery/heat issues seem to stem from apps that don't get along with and aren't optimized for ICS. I run very few apps and have seen normal temps and increased battery life with the new leak firmware. I would try uninstalling apps until I find the one that is causing the problem. That's about all I have on this issue. Hope it helps.
Had the same problem, return the phone. It shouldn't be doing that. New phone, zero problems.

On ICS currently, most every ROM comes with stock kernels with no OC afaik. The only OC kernel compatible with ICS ROMs and currently available is SebastianFM's kernel. You can flash that after installing the ROM.
I've been debating whether or not to upgrade my firmware to the latest and I keep going back and forth.
Can we discuss the pros/cons of doing so?
All I really know is that NOT having the new firmware limits support for most ROMS and can cause some issues. I have also heard its hard (impossible?) to go back to the old one if it was necessary to do so?
Thanks!

Pros:
ICS is awesome!
Smoother, faster, etc
Battery seems to charge sightly faster
Cons:
Bad battery life (horrible, worse than GB)
CPU overheats (sometimes to 110 degrees!)
Worse reception
Can't downgrade to old firmware till we get S-OFF
In other words, don't upgrade!
I personally have stayed off the firmware and I'm going to wait until ROMs are based off the official OTA or we get S-OFF.
There's a firmware patch anyway that lets you run recent ROMs on the old firmware, so that's a plus.
I've been running ICS ROMs for months with no issues and it's actual ICS.
Heard too many issues coming off the leak anyway.
It seems like the new firmware has the CPU running full tilt where the old firmware did a better job of governing. So the phone gets hot quick(for me screen on only) but stop using it and it cools off fast as well.

I thought the CPU issues were with the kernel, not the firmware?
For me, the news has all been good except for one thing re: new firmware...
Cell Reception.
I can't keep a call connected unless I go outside. Data is great, and overall signal quality is good... until I get a phone call. Then I immediately lose at least 2 bars! How dumb is that!?!?
I can't wait to get S-Off so I can flash the old radio back on. I'm hoping that fixes it.
Pro : no more Blue Flicker
Cons : Reboot like a zillion time a day WTF ??? Bur I think it's just me
Glad I posted this before just going for it. Seems like its not worth it at this point in time. S-off is a long was away, right? I'll just stick it out with the old one.

I do too, but I think it's more due to the Devs like Nils and lllboredlll tweaking their ROMS for max battery conservation than the new firmware.
I've just solved my rebooting Issue by doing this
1. Reboot into recovery -> Format all to EXT3 and wipe everything
2. Lock Bootloader
3. Flash the leak -> let it run till the end and will automatically reboot back into bootloader.
4. You'll notice the "TAMPERED" on top of the screen has been gone.
5. Flash the leak the 2nd Time and you'll be good.
I've been on it for 3 days without a reboot or slow down or heating issue. Now, I gotta say this leak is great in term of stability, battery life, signal (in Seattle,WA) and performance compared to Gingerbreak.
First, here's a poll on battery life. It seems most people got better or the same battery life with the update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23874951
I upgrade to the new firmware and at first thought I was getting horrible battery life, then it got better about 8 hours with 2 hours screen on time.
Then, I decided to go back down to the old firmware and radio because Andy told me he was getting better battery life on it. I went back down, a and honestly--I haven't noticed a real big difference in battery life with screen on. Both firmwares get about 2 hours on screen time. You can get awesome battery life on either ROM If you leave screen off, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose of using the phone. The new firmware gets better battery life when the screen is off, I think.
The radios are hit or miss, I think. The 4g reception is always different day to day in my daily commutes. Sometimes I'll get a constant 4g signal. Other days it'll be spotty, while some days it just stay on 3g and then I have to put it in airplane mode to get 4g again. And then 5 minutes later it goes back to 3g. I haven't really noticed much of a difference in call quality, but don't really pay attention to that.
I may go back to the new RUU, honestly.

I guess what confused me was something in this thread led me to believe that if you used the "patch" to install from GB, you would still be on the old firmware but running ICS. I'm currently on ClearnROM ICS Pro (ICS obviously)
The very first thing I did upon getting S-OFF was to get off that darned leaked firmware.
I sugesst waiting, personally.
there's so much more negatives than positive, at least was for me.
I run ICS on GB firmware and runs great. Sense 4, does as well. the patch works very well.
also before returning to GB frimware, I was running the leaked for a while and I personally didn't notice the new firmware to be much if any smoother.
all it did was overheat and destroy my batt life.
lesson learned for me.
no more messing around until we have an option to return to normal.
I am just lucky that I didn't brick my rez in the beta s-off(which the method works great BTW!, I hope to see it released ASAP!!) and was able to return to stock firmware, and enjoy my phone again.

Just so we all know, what all did it take for you to roll back to the GB firmware when you had S-Off?
I'm S-Off and RUU'd back to GB because the new firmware/radios had me down about battery life. Before the leak, I used to get ~10hrs total battery time with normal usage on stock battery. Once I went to ICS Leak, that was down around 6 so I figured I'd go back. After a few days being back on GB, I've found I still can't get my battery to last. I'm running Ineff. 1.4 and Incredikernal 6 currently, and When my screen is on (brightness set at 20%) for 10min I'll drop 15%. Anyone have words of advice? I'm seeing people with ridiculous battery life and wondering if I should run the GB RUU again. Thoughts? Also battery still burning upwards of 118 when screen is on for a little bit.
The latest ICS kernel was the biggest issue with battery life...
What settings do you have on the kernel?
I'm just letting it run, no Set CPU settings or anything. Should I not let it govern itself?

The first thing I did with s-off was downgrade to the latest GB RUU from the ICS leak. Now I'm on eng hboot and CleanRom 4.3 Pro with the GB patch and stock kernel that's packaged with the ROM. This was all yesterday. Today I've got 41% battery left after 16 hours (extended bat.) and have used the phone considerably setting up the ROM and reloading all my apps, plus several phone calls, emails and texts. I don't have 4G in my area so that's turned off and I know that 4G is a significant drain but this is noticeably better than what I was getting. I'll have a better idea in a couple of days when everything settles in.
I definitely would run the stock kernel for your testing purposes with no CPU control. If you still have major issues I'd look towards an app or location service that's enabled.

im getting great battery life back on stock ruu gb with the new patched eng hboot 2.11.111 and set cpu (1020 high, 192 low on conservative) and i play MUSIC ALL DAY AT WORK 9 FULL HOURS OF DRE BEATS ON!. also my break and lunch im on facebook and on the phone with my gf. i get like 12 hours out of my regular battery. just my 2 cents. i had ics and its blow bigtime. i dont even want the ota really.
I've been working on my friend's rezound. He's been suffering wake lock issuses since applying the 2.01 OTA. Battery has gone from about 10hrs on full charge, to about 4hrs. I unlocked bootloader and tried updating to the ics firmware and trying an ics rom but still has the same issue. I performed the s-off wire trick and rolled everything back to stock firmware and rom and that didn't work. never messed with a custom kernel. Anyone have any ideas for a fix? Or are we just going to have to wait for an official update from verizon? I've read of people on the verizon forums complaining about wake lock as well.

Ive noticed worse battery life as well after going s-off. Thought i was going crazy.
There are definitely degrees of badness here.
GB on GB firmware/radios is the coolest.
GB on ICS firmware is warmer.
ICS on GB firmware is even warmer.
ICS on ICS firmware is the hottest I've seen.
I cannot run screen-on indefinitely on any ICS without overheating the battery.
I had the same problem it appear suddenly
Cell standby took near as half screen does
I did try many rom
Only full wipe helped including internal strong
Now I'm with inf1.4
Battery is the gr8est
On the wake lock issue, someone discovered the AOSP lockscreen was preventing the phone from sleeping correctly. I can't remember if it was a certain combination or just the lockscreen running a background process.
Since you've tried all kinds of stuff I don't know if that applies to you or not but if nothing else I was hoping it might spur a thought process or new ideas for research.

First of all, my phone is running jellybomb version 2, freeza beastmode kernel 2.0 and cpu running at 2.7. I've never had problems before until one day I downloaded a file that had a virus, so I decided to do a restore using twrp. The restore failed and my phone and it got screwed, I've tried several methods to get it running again and I finally found the solution. I flashed the brickbug file and it was fixed. Now I noticed that sometimes when I restart the phone, it won't restart, it just powers off. There are also times when my phone just blacks out and freezes and I have to do a battery pull. There are also incidents where after boot up from a restart or battery pull, my touch screen won't respond. It's really weird. I dirty flashed to jellybomb version 2 from version 1, I doubt that's the issue since these problems started happening after I flashed brickbug to fix my phone. Anyone know what could be wrong or a fix? It's not a huge issue since my phone works fine most of the time, but it gets a bit annoying when the problem does happen. Last resort would be wipe absolutely everything and start over..

Honestly my phone does the same with occasional random reboots and lock ups requiring battery pulls (Even the power button-menu-power up didn't restart to twrp) and even then restarting doesn't usually go without a hitch. Even when I was running stock root my phone would get stuck at the yellow sprint screen from time to time and I'd have to go TWRP and wipe Dalvik and Cache, then Dalvik again to get it to reboot.. The only reason I didn't unroot was was because even when my phone was new and out of the box, stock it wouldn't reboot cleanly all the time.
It got a little better after the firmware updates but it still hasn't gone away entirely.
I do expect it to get cleared up eventually but for now just take it as a fact of life with this phone.

I would run the MJ4 tar via Odin to start totally fresh.
I am having a similar issue. my phone will just reboot on its own and freeze up a lot. i dont think its the kernel because it has been happening ever since i first installed the jellybomb rom and had a lite kernel installed. now switched to beast 2.3 and still having the same issues. im gonna flash 1.8 and see if it gets any better. but people are posting positive results on the 2.3 . dont know what to do. its frustrating

Before going through all that mess, toss on a stock kernel and see if your issues go away. You'll narrow down the issues right quick.

My phone has been doing this from the time i took it out of the box on October 4. It was ever worse then, so much so that I returned the phone exchanged it for a new one. The problems continued and I questioned my decision to upgrade to the Note 3 but then the firmware upgrades improved things a little.
I can tolerate the issues now and I do expect them to go away on future updates

I flashed 2.3 kernel and it seemed to fix most problems.. I just get Internet shutdowns here and there.. So far that's the only problem.

2.3 is the shiz, bro. I know some have issues with it, but for me it far exceeds even 1.8. Even with no overclocking, 1.8 would do odd stuff, like go to off when I'd selected restart (plugged in or not), &c. With 2.3, I've yet to run into any issues, the phone behaves as I've directed it. I overclock it using profiles in SetCPU, and the cores stay cool. With 1.8, no such luck.
As to Internet shutdowns, I have found that the browser plays a role in things. Having never used the stock browser, I switch mainly between boat browser and chrome, and both will occasionally freeze. Long back press to kill is my fallback.

what your describing
Your phones should run flawlessly all the time. I would take issue that when the phone starts acting buggy, it's just normal for this phone.....I disagree with that, there is a issue somewhere if you have these issues occasionally.
Just my 2 cents
Well it took my slack ass a couple weeks to flash the stock kernel due to my issues. and after a few days my phone hasnt randomly rebooted. So i take it my phone is not liking the BEAST right now? This is just some poopoo.
