[Q] Phone takes forever to open Contacts - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Dear Friends,
Sometimes randomly whenn i try to open contacts it takes a very long time to display the contacts. I do not know what is wrong.
I have disabled auto sync in 'Currents'.
Could you guys please help
Thanks

I think its time to reflash your rom. With these kinds of issues,its hard to pinpoint what is the exact source of the problem.

I am using Jelly Bean OTA version....
I have not intsalled any other ROM or rooted the phone

I agree...root and flash a custom ROM. I just went to Jellybean CM10 ROM last night and everything is noticeably faster. My ICS ROM was starting to get very sluggish.
How do u have stock jellybean? I didn't think Verizon did an over the air push of it.

How can I return to ics.

I want to return to ics after trying a few jb leaks and have some issues I have a backup of my stock rooted 4.0.4 can I restore it or can I flash a custom ics over the jb rom I'm using now.

You seem to have a few options. Only thing you really can't do is dirty flash ics over jb.
You can restore your nandroid and flash from there if you like. Or wipe data dalvik and cache and flash another rom.

So I can use super wipe and then flash a ics rom over jb?
Sent From My Galaxy S3 Boricua 100%
I wouldn't even use superwipe. I only recommend tthat if you are having problems.
Just do factory reset from recovery, then flash your rom.

Ok thanks.the problem is I flshed xquizit xD I love the rom but when phone goes in to sleep it wont wake and starts vibrating with the blue led don't know why and I have asked for help in the op but didn't got help so I'm going back to ics.thanks for your help.

No problem. Just a guess here but did you do a full wipe before flashing xquizit? That sounds like a oroblem that used to occur a lot when there was data left from a previous rom. Sometimes even had to wipe internal sd.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I did super wipe then did wipe factory/chace/dalvik wipe flashed rom then did factory wipe/cache wipe/dalvik wipe/fix permission and reboot with the same results rom is perfect but have the sleep/wake problem.

I never had to run fix permissions on xquizit. And it has caused me problems in the past with other roms. Maybe that's the problem? Just a guess.

If you really want to stay on JB, give Black Jelly a go. No problems at all for me...been using it for a couple weeks now.

I will give it a try I don't want to give up on this rom not yet I really like the battery life and performance it's near perfect just having that issue and I noticed it happens when I hit the power button to turn off the screen it vibrates one time and when I hit power again it starts vibrating like crazy with blue led and black screen so I have to take out the battery and reboot.

How much storage do you have on your data partition?
You don't have to be out of space to get that message. Its set to do that once a certain percentage of your storage is remaining. Probably 5-10%. It does this to ensure there's enough space left for the already installed apps to use.
So you could have a few hundred mb remaining, but still be below that threshold.

Op. My biggest issues happens when I do not format "system". If you have a solid nandroid backup and you place a copy of the backup on your home computer you can recover from almost any mistake. Take the time to do the research. Happy to help with the basics.

No data on att and 4.2

I flashed bigxie's 4.2 image last night and everything ran fine, or so I thought. As soon as I left my house in the am and I wasn't getting any data. Calls and texts were going no problem. Thought maybe it was a bad flash or something. Reflashed. Same problem. Returned to stock 4.2 using the toolkit and still the same problem. So I restored to 4.1.2 stock and I finally had data again. I flashed the cataclysm 4.2 ROM and no data again. Flashed latest CNA and I have data.
Does my phone just not like 4.2?? What's going on here??

Not sure if the problem is fixed or not but everything is working. Here's what I did in case anyone else needs help with this same problem.
I restored to 4.1.2 using the toolkit and then waited until the phone got the ota and updated using that to 4.2 (I did this the first time and had data, then went into the settings and did a factory restore and ended up with no data. So I repeated the process without the restore and it all worked.) I then used the toolkit to root and install CWM recovery. Still running stock 4.2 but everything is working and I am a bit nervous in flashing a custom rom until I can figure out if it may have just been a ATT problem in my area or some kind of glitch with my phone.
Hope this helps anyone else that may have the same weird problem.

YouTube v5 update - landscape issues

Seems like a samsung problem, just wondering if anyone on xda has been able to find a fix...
with the new youtube update (v5), there is no longer a time bar on landscape so you can fast forward/rewind a video.. and there's also no way to go back to portrait mode since that whole bottom area is missing (have to minimize the video, and then click back in... )
the app has ad 3-4 updates since its release and the problem is still there. been using v4 as the app is pretty unusable at this point. seems to be an issue with all samsung phones. i really love the new design but it's too bad that there's this huge glaring bug.
Are you talking about the mobile app? Because on my s3 it runs flawless and all the buttons work just fine...your issues are odd to say the least

His issue is not odd.This issue happens on all Galaxy devices with 4.1.2 JB android version.So if you have 4.2 or even 4.0 just shut up!

I think my problem was due to me having the Rogers stock version of 4.1.2 installed, when I changed to the AT&T Stock Rom it was fixed, now it's working flawlessly
And this may be your problem since you are on a i747M Rom Jamolah

Yes in Instagram, ZOOM FX, you name it. Any app except for the stock camera. I think it is a 4.3 problem. I flashed multiple 4.3 ROMs all had the problem. I went back to a 4.1.2 ROM (Hyperdrive 16) and it does not reboot.
What ROM are you currently using? I am AT&T so I don't think it is a carrier issue at all.
Liquid smooth 2 .10 jelly bean 4.3. ... Does your phone randomly reboot? Which model do you have?

I have the AT&T Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) and yes mine does on any 4.3 ROM as well. I'll report back to you if I find a fix or what is causing the problem but I feel like it is probably a 4.3 bug on our phones.

Okay, appreciate that.... And i dont think its a 4.3 thing cz it happened to me on 4.2.2 custom roms

I was having the same problem on Android 4.2.2 as well. I think it is just a bug with all AOSP roms.

I need some help please!

Can someone please provide me with a working semi stock ICS rom link...I need to get my wife's phone fully working and she dosnt like these customized roms and it seems like all link are dead for older builds. And I can never get Sammobile links to fully download or ever work....I can't use stock jellybean 4.1.2 because of some stupid settings that get brought on the home screen it's an issue from awhile back that I don't think ever was fixed and Samsung said it needs to be re flashed by them but she'd be happy with an ICS rom that everything fully works including tethering...thanks in advance and sorry for the novel

Try Jedi Mind Trick, I'm using it right now and it's great. I'm using it with the Tiberius kernel (I don't think I spelled it right lol), but you HAVE to let the rom settle in for at least 10 mins, otherwise it'll just start giving problems such as random reboots, force closes, battery life issues, etc. It's based on Touchwiz 4.1.2 so you won't have any camera issues.
to the rescue
