It seems like we are almost close to see the public ICS version. FC07 is also one of the best ROM that we've seen so far and many issues from the previous version are already fixed on FC07.
But, I still see many peoples are complaining about the issues on FC07 from here and there. So, it would be great if we can see all real or possible issues in one place. This is the reason why I'm starting this thread.
Because I started, I want to add one :
Occasionally, GPS lock notification is not disappeared even the GPS turned off and there's no app using it.
Story - After flashing FC07 from FC06, I was checking individual apps and opened Go Weather app. Go Weather app asked be to enable My Location, so I did. Go Weather asked me 'GPS module is diabled. do you want to go to GPS settings?', so I turned on GPS and came back to Go Weather. It started searching and locked the GPS. After that, GPS notification always showed even I closed the App.
Just like happened in FC06, after the reboot, I do not see the same problem any more. Fortunately, I kept the screenshot of it.
[Update]
Now my FC07 ROM works much better than any of previous ROMs - sreenshots available in this post and post #50.
First, how stupid I was!
Late last night, I disabled the Battery saver script - Juice defender - and after that my Stock (rooted) FC07 ROM started working flawlessly. Even the battery life is showing great. After unplugged, it only used 10% for two hours.
Only one problem that I saw was GPS lock notification. It was there even I turned off everything. As we mentioned many times, only the workaround for this is just rebooting the phone.
Since last night, I do not see any apps FC'd. GPS working great, my wifi status is always updated even after the sleep.
So, if you see some weird issue on your ICS Rom, make sure you test your phone with any battery saver application. What I did during last night was, disabled Juice Defender and disabled some startups which I really don't need. One more thing I did was, configured CPU thru System Tuner Pro to use the ondemand govener. That's it and I'm happy with this FC07 ROM.
(Before this change, I also made the GPS tuneup on post #47, it's still effective on my phone and working great)
Right now, my phone stays cool without any issues.
(ps I updated Google map in this morning. I think this updated app is much better than previous version)
[Update]
I hope this would be the last update before I jump into coming FC13.
This afternoon, after a sleep mode, wifi did not show the signal bar again. But at this time, just turning off and on worked. Wifi signal came back to normal (don't need to reboot).
* Adding two more screenshots showing excellent battery life on FC07*

The gps disconnects frequently. It does connect fast but cannot hold a signal and when it does lose signal you have to reset the phone to be able to reconnect again. Also they have not fixed the issues with the media scanner. It still messes up the camera app a work around to open a 3rd party camera app and restart the phone this fixes this issue.

The gps lock notification does disappear with the EL29 modem. So maybe the problem is with the modem and not the Rom. Also Copilot 9 works with the EL29 modem and this Rom with no problems because the gps lock notification disappears when it is not in use.

Had GPS on for awhile when I ran FC07 (with the modem) never had the icon stay when I turned it off it went away like it should. Some people are having the issue however so not really sure it's with the modem.
I agree with GPS sticking around even after closing sometimes, which drains battery and warms the phone.
Other then GPS issues this has been a solid phone made better with the ICS roms
Thanks for starting this thread since I believe Samsung is monitoring this forum.

Has anyone gone in and taken a look at the build.prop "settings" for wifi?
Sometimes it happens that the wifi.suppplicant_scan_interval on roms based on these stock leaks we get is set as high as like 240..THAT is one thing that could definitely be lowered to like 90, and the lock would be much faster...
(I can't check it myself right now, because my ET4G is in transit due to a hard-brick replacement.)
It's definitely something someone might wanna take a look at.)

Mine shows 15 and I never touched this option. So, I believe it would be the stock default.
For me, the main thing that has been fixed is stability...but then again the leaks are coming way to fast to truly test stability (aka running for over a week). My two biggest gripes with the ics leaked roms hasn't been fixed since the early leaks...notification sounds sometimes still disappearing, and the gps bug still exists (albeit less frequently).

15?
I can't say I've ever seen that value placed so low in ANY rom on any phone....90 is usually the go-to 'custom' setting most "chefs" will use...15 doesn't seem like it would give the wifi even enough time to establish a connection before it went in to re-scan mode.
Hm.

To save the battery, I see many places are recommending '90' but anyway, FC07's stock value is '15'.
15 is the same on the GB rooms too.

Don't expect GPS fix.
Samsung engineers can't write GPS drivers to save their own lives. Pretty much every Samsung phone have had serious GPS issues.

LOL. Mine literally just got a lock on me (and on the correct side of the house) in about 4 seconds.
Well, most of this thread has been about GPS, but I'll throw my hat into the ring with something different.
I still can't get Bluetooth to pair with my Sony car stereo, and while I can pair with my Infinity car system, trying to play any audio causes Bluetooth to force close. It works fine in both cars on the GB ROM so this is certainly a ICS build issue. Although not necessarily only on FC07. It hasn't worked on any of the builds.

I am glad you are checking the Bluetooth car connectivity. I am checking the leaks with my stereo headphones and my regular Bluetooth but that's good you caught that car connection issue. It seems like there aren't many people checking the Bluetooth side of these leaks

Have Cyanogen Mod installed, constantly have 4 bars of 3G data in Brooklyn, NY.
Whenever I'm using the phone in hand, the data shuts off every 10 to 45 minutes. The only way to bring it back on reliably is to go into the settings, turn off data, put it into airplane mode, wait a few seconds, then turn it back to normal mode.
There's no "data" toggle on the top-screen slide-down applet, so this is kind of a pain in the ass to do every single time this happens.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or solved it?
I have had this on my EVO, and it may just be the ROM. I have not ran CM b/c the other ROM's that are based off CM have more features like a notification toggle for data, which would help you.
I recommend doing a full wipe and re-install of the ROM. You can use Titanium Backup to save everything and restore everything. It should be like nothing changed, and hopefully it fixes that bug. If not, maybe resort do a different version of CM or ROm altogether.
Best of luck with this, it is annoying, but not the worst problem you can get (on the bright side).

Ah, alright. Good to know it's just a basic issue. Will update to a new build eventually. Thanks!
Hello Everyone,
Problem: Set up a word password for the lock screen, forgot the password, entered as many times what I could try to remember, couldn't remember it at all, forgot password option never appeared. Had data on sdcard so didn't care if I'm going to hard reset the phone.
From CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 did the following ( a lot of times ) : wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache partition , format /system, format /cache, format /data, format /sdcard, format /external_sd as well ( different card ). Rebooted. Everything seemed normal, initial setup, google account, date/time, location/gps. browsing through the phone until the 30seconds backlight timeout passed and screen went off. I press unlock/power button and viola, password prompt back again. WTF ? I DID everything.. did the same thing again, this time, after the initial setup, did samsung's code *2767*3855#, started automatically doing factory reset. again after this, initial setup and still password prompt. did this again, went into settings and change screen lock, and it said to enter password. Seeing that's not helping, downloaded a stock rom, and flashed it through odin 4.43. everything seemed good until again went to screen lock settings and same thing. after screen went black, the same thing.
rooted again, installed cwm, flashed custom rom bagux-project-rom-v1.4, seemed good until went to settings and prompt there as well as screen went black turned it on and prompt again.
gbsIII rom - same problem
cow rom - same problem
ehndroix 12.9.13 - same problem
f.a.w. ris4 - same problem all these roms based on 2.3.6/2.3.7
flashed ancora_signed(cyanogenmod) - NO PROBLEM
flashed cm-9 experimental - NO PROBLEM
flashed RemICS_1.7 - NO PROBLEM
Problem is that I really want ENERGY SAVING OPTIONS because that way the battery lasted me two full days on normal/median usage, texting calling wifi and 3G. ICS DO NOT HAVE THIS AND therefore my battery on the same type of activity lasts not even a day.
ALSO, Somehow, wifi drastically downgraded it's performance meaning it takes really long to turn on, sometimes scans sometimes doesn't, when there is 100% a signal in one spot, it won't find it at all, and other time it will and the worse part is that when it connects, and connection is, ip and everything good, internet doesn't work. < this only on ICS or cyanogenmod. < but this is not what I'm concerned about. Just saying if It might help.
I don't know what to do anymore... I'm not a noob at this because I have rooted MYSELF and flashed roms and other stuff to Samsung Gio Samsung Galaxy S II and Htc Desire-Z (a7272) and now I have my wonder I8150 and this is just SHOCKING TO ME. I really did not expect something like this...
it looks like something easy to fix however on the other side..i don't know.. maybe I am not doing an extra step ?
Please, I really need assistance..
So let me get this straight. You couldn't get rid of your lockscreen in any GB rom, then decided to flash an ICS rom and it worked but you want to save battery. Then you discovered the wifi problem and you don't know what to do. Right?

So because you didn't reply as fast as i thought, i will just answer what i understood.
1-about your lockscreen problem, this is might be because of a restore you previously set to automatic. I actually don't have any other reason cuz this just never happened to me or ever heard of it.
2- And about the power saving you want to have in ICS. I have tried that build-in power saver, it doesn't work as well as some other power savers from the playstore.
Adding to (2) i don't use any power saver cuz they just turn down your phone's speed to save battery. I use setcpu (app from playstore) to create different profiles that work in different times (like when screen is off speed goes down as i don't need it and when screen is on speed comes back up).
3- The wifi problem you only noticed in ICS because its a bug in arco's kernel which almost every JB/ICS kernel is based on, but don't worry arco will soon find a cure. But until then, when this happens just long press the wifi icon in the statusbar and it will open the wifi settings, which will start an automatic search and connect from there.
Sorry for not waiting, i'm still 15 and have a test tomorrow and highschool life to worry about

Hey &Amada
Thanks for replying and to my response time, I just got home, lol..
The problem I have is with the lockscreen (password prompt). if I flash a stock or custom gb rom, the lockscreen ( password prompt )turns on after the screen turns black ( after 30 seconds ) and returning to the "restore / backup , I didn't set it all, it was already ticked, the automatic part, on every gb rom too and worse was I couldn't untick it...
Right now I have ICS ancora beta 3 and there is a "performance" tab in settings before "about phone" and in thereis processor - change cpu governor and clock speed and types like consevative ondemand performance interactive powersave and minimum cpu frequency and max and set on boot. If setting a lower clock when screen is off would improve my battery or at least I would notice it then I would go for it but here's a great example. right now, on ics, when i take out the usb charger cable from phone, the second i take it out, 100% drops to 99%. in gb rom, stayed on 100% for about 30minutes minimum. just comparing. and this is on the same usage.
I went to a service guy, which my friend from school knows and recommendem I'm 18 btw and in high school as well and he said it might be faulty cache ( the memory part ) because it's similar to people's dead sdcards in phones and password prompts appear for them and the phone interprets it as a security exploit or break and therefore takes it as a password prompt.
& to the wifi, it's not a big problem, but it is annoying.

Okay, maybe you could go back to gb or JB i am using pacman and it rocks i didn't face the wifi problem since flashed.
But if you really want to go back to gb here is my suggestion:
You said that after you flashed gb with sometime, the lockscreen comes back. So just as soon as you reboot from flashing just install a lock screen replacement from the market or such. And make sure they can be toggled in the accessibility section of the settings. That way it will automatically disable the lockscreen even if it comes back

Hey, I tried "MyLock utilities" but it did not work.. apps aren't an answer to keep bypassing the screen lock all the time.. I don't get why the phone "remembers" the password even though it's formatted... faulty memory ?
I'm sure this may have been covered, but I'm really getting tired of having to pull the battery every time. My poor back cover is losing its hooks from doing it up to 3 times a day. So far, it hasn't been a certain app or action that causes it, it seems quite random. It will just completely freeze with no button presses, only thing to do is pull the battery. I've used multiple different ROMs, but it seems to happen on every one. Is this just something I'll have to deal with or is there any kind of fix?
Weel, to avoid the back cover damaging it's better (if you have a PC next to you) that you reboot through adb reboot instead pulling the battery...
For better understanding your problem you've to tell which rom are you using, which kernel, how did you install it (clean or dirty flash), have you restored setting with TiBu or other apps, and last but not least if you're configuring your phone with some strange settings (i.e. overclock, undervolt, tweaked build.prop and so on).
Currently, I'm running jbsourcery 4.3 with zen kernel 16 with it set on pegasusq and sio, no other over clock or under volt settings. I've tried comotio, atom, factoryrom, cleanrom, paranoid, and I can't remember what else. I've also tried trinity, air, and Franco kernels. Every time I flash something new, I do a full wipe, cache, dalvik, factory reset, and format system. I usually use ROM toolbox pro to restore apps and settings as opposed to tibu, but the last time I let Google restore the apps, then restored data to the ones I needed.
I'd return to stock (Google factory images) for a couple of days to test if the random freezes stop.
I have had a similar experience to yours. I have noticed the nearest thing to a common theme is it usually seems to happen when going from WiFi to 4g or 3g and sometimes from a 3g signal to a 4g signal (or the other way around). It also happens immediately when trying to turn off airplane mode. It is very frustrating. The experience has been minimized since going to mmuzzy's room and tiny's kernel. On that setup, I haven't had to do a battery pull in a little over a week. I am guessing it is because mmuzzy's room is much closer to source. You might give it a try.

I went ahead and took your advice and ran bone stock for a couple days. It was good the first day, the second day the freezes started again. I went ahead and flashed one of the stable AOKP builds with zen kernel and it still freezes. I just downloaded the team lean AOKP and am gonna try that next, but its just so frustrating!

Tiny4579 (developer of the Tiny kernel), just reported that this is a known issue with the stock kernel and that until Google fixes the issue there is nothing any developer can do to fix it. While it doesn't fix the problem, it helps me to know that. BTW, I have had the fewest with Tiny kernel of any I have tried.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Nothing like that here, tested for long enough with stock, custom built aosp and CyanogenMod.
Are you sure it ain't the app data you're restoring?...
When we say go back to stock to test, you need to run stock with the bare minimum and not restoring anything. I.e To test, I run stock with 2 extra apps: a file manager and supersu, for over a week.

Hello and thank you in advance to all. I have a t989,
I run AOKP Galaxysbean V_12
KKO Kernel Governor is Smartass V2 and I/O is deadline
UVLI4 Radio
Problem: I know for a fact this is not a hardware problem, because I have went through 3 phone replacements because of stupidity and learning how to root phone, flash roms, yada, yada, etc. And with each of these phones this persistent problem occurs where all of the sudden at any given time, I will go to make a call and nothing. I can't hear the ring of another person's number, my voicemail, etc. The person does get the call, and when they answer, I still cannot hear them, and they cannot hear me.
Resolution: Ways I have fixed this before are with the first and second phone I flashed over a new radio, (previously UVLE1, UVLH1, 4G Blaze) and it fixed the calling upon reboot. Also I had flashed custom roms, or restored previous Nandroid backups and it worked again. (Little annoying doing this every 3 or 4 days. Though today, this happened with my newest phone, and flashing a radio did not work nor did restoring a Nandroid. This time I had to flash a new custom rom, then it worked. Then I flashed back over the Nandroid and it still works as of now.
Question: Could this be because of the kernel? Or the rom?

Me and my wife have the same issues. We both have GS2s but hers is stock unrooted and mine is running CM10.1. Been dealing with Tmobile for months without success, swapping out cut down on how often its happening but did not fix it. Tmobile is stumped, very annoyed by this issue.
Not sure what's causing the problem but it seems jellybean 4.2 has fixed this issue. Try flashing AOKP 4.2 and make sure noise suppression is enabled and call this number 9143388802. The third option is an echo test and fourth option let's you record a playback to listen to how you sound. If you sound normal and people are still complaining then its their phone.

I've come to the conclusion that its a rom problem because for me it happens with only certain roms. Ive tried all the rom kernel combinations and different radios but the only fix I've found is to retire that particular rom, no matter how good it is. Smoothness aint gonna get the cops or the fireman to your house. The only roms that have worked for me as far as call quality are, for some reason all of TheLastSidekick's Kangs, Darkside evolution 3, Sky Jellybean, Rushing's Bulletproof,and both of the 10.1 variants we have. The strange thing is I can't recall any call quality issue's when flashing roms from the Skyrocket thread. For instance I get the worst call quality ever using Jedi Jelly, but I'm crystal clear using Embryo from the Skyrockets thread, so much so I wont even try our version of the same rom.
I blame T-Mobile network. This would happen to me all the way back to my old flip phones. Every other call or so would do this. I've always put up with it cuz I like T-Mobile customer service.

I blame T-Mobile network. This would happen to me all the way back to my old flip phones. Every other call or so would do this. I've always put up with it cuz I like T-Mobile customer service.

I wouldn't go that far because I never had a problem on the Sensation no matter what rom I was using. I blame sammy
You know.. Now that I think about it.. My old flip phones were Samsung! Lil..

I actually just realized this problem persisted when I would turn on the phone and try to make a phone call to quickly. After becoming aware of this. I turned the phone off and allowed it to fully boot back up, and it worked again.

I can confirm that this is the problem. I rebooted my phone, called someone right away, and couldn't hear anything. Next I let it load for 40 seconds after boot, and I can hear fine.
Now we have to tell t-mobile this.

This is not the issue, it also happens to phones that have been on for minutes/hours/days.
Is there any updates on this issue? My wife is having this problem on her phone, and it seem like it's been getting worse...

I found out with my problem. It was when I tried to make a call to soon. It would do this. As long as I have let the phone load for a minute or two after boot, I haven't had any more problems. My problem may be different from yours tho. Hope this helps.
I'm having this issue, and its not from calling too quick after a boot.
It came on out of the blue the evening of March 6 ...
I have the Tmob phone but it's unlocked and I'm using a Straight Talk AT&T SIM, connected to the AT&T network in Sierra Vista, AZ.
Ok... I need help. I am such a novice at this stuff but I find myself so very interested in the world of root, and the freedom that it brings. Basically my entire knowledge of computers..... Is Android, and worse than that, I'm self taught... Please don't run!! I'm a super quick study. Ok now to my problem, I started off rooting my T 989 surprisingly enough with absolutely no issues at all, or at least that I could tell. Ran beautiful and super smooth, then I went app hoarding and installed A fonts package installer, opened it, it installed about 85 prcnt. done and crashed. Never made it back. The novice, and the dumbass in me, FREAKED! and did an uneducated, no experience attempt to make recovery....... 4 times needless to say that I COMPLETELY wiped the entire phone. I had a friend bless me and show me a thing or two and I successfully managed to flash one of your Roms to it and I must tell you that I supremely thankful to all who n these projects.... MAD RESPECT to all of you. So the one issue I am clearly having is everyone I speak to says I sound like I'm on speaker or just can't generally hear me. Been through the settings a couple of times and I am pretty sure that I have them correct, and I have not touched anything that I wasn't sure about, and I definitely have completely refrained from pimpin my kernel. I really just need someone who can spend a little time setting me straight on some unfamiliars. Also just have a few stupid questions that won't be the least bit stupid after I get them answered. Any time any one can lend would be greatly appreciated and someone's good deed for the day. Thanks for allowing me to vent guy's

And no, issue definitely is not exclusive to happening on reboot, mine has been that way ever since flashing, and on every call. But I can hear the other end perfectly......

Just leave me some thanks. Under your phone settings, there should be a noise surrpression box. Make sure it is check marked. Every time I do that people have said I sound better. What do you want to do? Change it back to custom rom? P.S. ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!.. Google will solve many questions too. If nothing helps or you need to be walked through some processes, message me.
Enable noise suppression in phone settings. Fixed my problem.

Open phone dialer, menu settings, and it's in there.
