Freeze on restart

I did the offical ICS update when it came out but it was always a little slow responding, i had read that doing a factory reset would help so i backed everything up with titanium then did a factory reset, i then restored all data and it helped, but now when i either restart our turn off my phone it freezes at the goodbye screen, any ideas?

It had no problems with restart after the ICS update, used it since it was released, I did the factory reset today and now it freezes.

Both wont hurt. Make sure use use TDJ's cache wipe to properly fix permissions too.
Use Darkside Cache Wipe and it will fix the hang problem.
Thanks Atmazzz, ICS now is awesome. I am still thinking about trying Darkside Evolution, I just wish the YouTube update was smoother.

Check the market version. If its v3.7.13 then that is your issue. For some odd reason this version wont let u update or install apps over 4G. You have to uninstall the google play update.

(Noob q) Google wallet not working

This has been discussed a lot but mostly during the 2 weeks before I got the phone. I didn't know what to search for and when I did try searching I couldn't find the right topic
I'm on rooted stock using whatever build the phone came with out of the box
And I keep on getting this error

Prior to rooting and flashing cwm or any of that did you wipe google wallet (reset) prior? If not you may have borked it.

Is google wallet safe to use, what if you lose your phone. Can someone access your credit card info?

Google wallet is locked, in that everytime you open the app, you need to input your password. So unless they know the pin, they won't have access. Additionally, you can set up an additional screen lock pin.
worked like a charm
Thx

Camera not working

So I installed 12/08 after being on 11/29 and I go to use the camera today and it keeps saying "unfortunately gallery has stopped". So I then installed 12/10 thinkin maybe its just a bug and it didn't work. So then I went BACK to 11/29 and it STILL doesn't work. I'm on stock FC09. I really don't want to wipe data and do a clean install cuz then I have to reinstall all my apps and I'm kind of tired of that. Is there anything else I could do? Thanks a lot for your help guys.

My first guess would be that you are using twrp. If so that is your problem. Switch to philz recovery for now.

I read your first post again and just noticed that you flashed DN3. Was that my port or one from a different device? I am guessing that it was from the n7105 thread.
If you hit me up on hangouts ( [email protected] ) I can help you out.

Well your backup is most likely not bad. Once we get your service back you should be able to restore everything just like it was.

Well after working with @imxsteezin I found his issue. He flashed the DN3 rom from another n2 device. I got him back up and running but warned him that flashing roms not for your specific device is bad. He got luck that it was a simple fix this time.
I guess you can flash everything back to stock and start over again
