I've been using the FC24 and also I've tried the FC22 ICS builds. Overall they're pretty good besides the aforementioned notification issues, some general lagginess around the UI and VPN not connecting (for me). GPS has been great.
The one thing that has been a show stopper for me is the Contacts App being very unresponsive. If you click on it, it'll go to the first page and nothing will load. I'm also having problems with my Groups appearing. If I can't get these to load, then I can't contact people very quickly.
Are others seeing this? Any tips?
I have tried TWlauncher and the regular Launcher (no difference). I've tried FC22 and FC24 (currently on FC24) and no difference. I've synced, then unsynced my LinkedIN and Facebook contacts (that seem to minorly help).
I'm probably going back to the EL29 and just flash the FC24 modem, although I like the ICS features if they all worked.
(sorry for the new thread, but the FC thread is too long for people to use anymore [plus its largely off topic now] and searching got me no where)
So for me on the goodness 3.1 with the AOSP contact app I get FC's all the time for acore. I am just going to put up with it till the final release since I have this rom all fixed up to my liking. But with your issue and what I'm seeing it rally seems like something deeper then the contact app, maybe the contact storage is the issue.
That's disappointing. It seems to be able to load an individual contact just fine if you search or if you place a contact on your home screen through the widgets menu, but the groups are a no go for me. Even if you access the groups through an app like Handcent (which uses a hybrid of the normal groups and handcent's own display).
I had the same problem on early builds.

Was a solution ever found to this, I'm having a similar problem on an FD24 rom that I just flashed and have had it on every other rom I've tried for the last two weeks as well, basically my contacts aren't responding at all starting about 15 minutes after I flash the rom, freezes as soon as I open the contacts app and contact widgets are non-responsive as well...it's happening with using romtoolbox to restore apps and just doing a complete fresh install of all apps from the market
very frustrating and I'm kind like reddragon in that I have everything else set up exactly as I want it now, except this issue
My wife's contacts did the same on FD24 and continued when I upgraded to FD26 without wiping data. To fix it I just backed up everything with Titanium and used sfhub's One Click odin FD26 that wipes data. Now, contacts works fine and I restored her apps no problem.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yes. It's a Festivus miracle! FD26 (and FD24) fixed this.
If it happens again, you can clear the contacts storage in the Applications menu. Then let everything resync.
FD26 is something special. I have yet to find a bug (that affects me).

I am confused. in past several months I tried bunch of ROM's and every sigle of them had gmail sending mail issues. Why google? They are same people who made android, and that is why I am expecting their app's to be smooth and better from others. Sometimes after seeing red "sending..." message mail stays for hours in outbox, no metter how many times you sync, refresh or even restart your phone (this happens mostly when replying but not limited to). Am I only one with this problem and why gmail (app) sucks so much?

Gmail version 2.3.4.1 gave me problems with Sense-based roms initially and I ended up reverting back to version 2.3.2, however, I didn't recall having that problem with the stock odexed 3.70 rom. Furthermore, I have no problems with version 2.3.4.1 using an AOSP rom, specifically Salvage-Mod 1.2.1. If you have the time, nandroid backup your current setup, download and flash the rooted stock 3.70 rom from the link below and then test your gmail performance.

This same thing happened to me. Someone on here made the suggestion of going into my application settings and clearing the data, and since then it has worked flawlessly.
Clearing the data worked for me on my EVO.....thanks all
hey guys
right now i am using the latest RVHD Rom with faux kernel 007 before i installed the rom i did a full wipe and erased everything on the sd card.
sometimes when i use facebook app it freezes and i have to force stop the app and reopen it to make it work...and this is really annoying i tried different roms,kernel still the same...
anyone knows what to do?
Wipe cache

I've noticed this, using stock kernel & stock based rom - it seems to be a facebook bug inside the app itself, not a rom problem, although i could be mistaken
I did that few times...and sometimes when i just click on fb app without doing anything its loading and gets stuck and i have to force stop the app and rerun
I would agree, facebook crashed 4 time today on my One X. I have no stock rom...

Have vanilla device with Fb app on it. since the update a few days ago (which I assume was inline with the major update they gave to the iPhone version of the app) Fb on the HOX has crashed several times while I'ver been scrolling down pages. Pretty annoying as I was on a data connection on the time and it seems every time you reopen the app it reloads the entire page again instead of just the bits it doesn't already have

Proof of my previous point - it's a facebook app bug, not a rom issue
Thanks for sharing
Hello everyone!
I've had my GN since April, and I'm loving it. Since the beginning I've had whatsapp installed on it, and used it extensively. It worked great, even on JB 4.1.1. I unlocked the bootloader sometime around the end of June, the beginning of July. Anyway, about a month ago, I wanted to try some custom roms. Tried AOKP build 1, and CM10, both of which caused issues with Whatsapp. I wouldn't get the notifications instantly. Instead, I'd get them in anything from half an hour to 2 hours later.
So I switched back to stock using the Nandroid backup I had done before flashing the roms. However, ever since then, I've been having issues with Whatsapp and other apps, Gmail, Facebook messenger, Facebook itself, issues I didn't have before. With whatsapp for instance, if I'm on 3g, the issue is still there, notifications are still delayed. On wifi is even worst, I don't even get them unless I open the app itself.
Gmail is delayed as well, not as much, and I certainly don't need to open the app to get the mail, while facebook messenger and facebook usually send me notifications I had already looked at on my laptop, and they send them the next morning.
You can see how this is annoying. One morning I read somewhere something like having installed a custom rom and using a nandroid restore to get back to stock causes issues with Whatsapp, no mention of other apps though. Could this possibly be the cause?
If not, anyone got any idea what might be, and how to fix it? I'm even willing to flash stock, and relock the bootloader, if it helps.
Did you try clean installing WhatsApp instead of recovering from a backup?

I did, three times, same problem. And it's not just whatsapp, facebook and facebook messenger are doing the same thing. Gapps work well, talk and G+ are instant.
I'm gonna say its the app.. since other apps work fine.. and facebbok just sux..

Do you mean clear the cache, or actually clean the data?
Edit: No, that didn't help. I tried flashing stock, let's see what that gets me
Is anyone else having this issue? For some reason, I am not getting my usual Facebook notifications. I made sure that notifications is checked in the Facebook settings of the app. I also unistalled and reinstalled the Facebook app. I tried to log on to Facebook via my browser. I wipe and cleared the date/cache. Not sure what else I can do. If anyone else is experiencing this and/or has a fix, please let me know.
I have the same problem, but with Twitter
Same problem here.
Yeah I said it!
I know it sounds silly, but I am the kind of person that just needs my Facebook notifications. I ended up changing out Jedi for another Rom and will give Jedi another flash later on.
Facebook notifications notoriously suck on all ROMs...it's not the rom, it's Facebook. If you Google this, you will see that notifications are hit and miss at best.

This is absolutely, 100% true. It is a known problem with Facebook Android in general. Try Friendcaster instead. Notifications are at least somewhat more reliable with this app.
I have noticed that sometimes it doesn't work and others times it does work, FB in general though needs to make the android version a lot better. I am still running Jedi everything else seems to work ok.

What annoys me with that rom is the red box that goes around certain notifications. Soooooo annoying, so I went to clean
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I always have a problem in getting notifications from FB. I also heard that FB is notorious on the notification with Android. I believe it's not just a Rom or a Note. I really hope FB release a new native app ASAP with much better notification.
I am having the same issue, it seems to fix its self and break again.
The big issue I am having is data on a phone call, I can't access any data when a call is active. I have reflashed the modem, done a full restore to stock and reinstalled the latest update for Jedi. I'm not sure what else to do other than try another phone.
Update, I tried everything to fix my data problem, I returned my phone to stock and triangle away'd it and took it back to the store where they gave me a new phone that ended up with the same data issue. I ended up asking them to change the sim card because I couldn't believe two phones had the same problem, and this seems to have fixed it. Yep a bad brand new sim card, its funny how the smallest thing can drive you crazy.
There's a new facebook update today. Maybe it'll fix your guy's issues? I've left Facebook so I can't really give my impressions to what you guys are getting.
I just installed my first ROM after rooting my SGS3. AOKP seemed like exactly what I was after and I am not disappointed. Excellent work by the authors. Anyway, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, and installed. Everything is working perfectly except for one problem. When I send an SMS, the phone always says it failed to send even though it sent fine. The recipient received the message. Incoming texts are fine as well.
I tried with both the standard messaging app and Handcent SMS. So far the only message which managed to go out without an error was "Test", and I don't know if that was a coincidence or because it was so extremely short.
Internet and data connections are fine. Just that for some reason, it believes that the texts I send out are not making it even though they are.
I tried messing with the APN settings, messaging app settings, no difference. Obviously, texting was working fine before I rooted/flashed.
Does anyone have ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks.
I have this exact issue as well. Someone respond please!

I uninstalled my 3rd party messenger and then went to settings/apps/all/messaging, cleared that ****, then restarted the phone and walla. I hate the stock messaging app but at least I can send texts now. I suspect the next build won't have this issue.
Are u running the latest build?

This issue has been fixed a while ago if you are using Tasks AOKP. But only stock messenger app works OK. 3rd party apps still don't work and the developers of those apps need to update. You guys should search. Its been mentioned many many times.

Thanks for that. Ya that seems to work. The messages sent without an error. Don't know yet if the other person received them. I'm on the 12/23/2012 build and there is a Jan one so I'll try that next.

Did search, extensively. Maybe didn't search for the right thing because even tho I found similar issues with SMS, none were this particular issue. I did all I could before posting here.
As for the developers needing to update - the messaging app I was using works just fine on the stock SGS3 so why would they need to fix it? Doesn't look like the problem is theirs.

Thanks for the recommendation. I installed the Jan.10 build and the problem is gone! Working correctly with both the stock messaging app and Handcent SMS.
Love it.
