*** skyrocket ics port q&a ***

Please post your questions and answers regarding my port here....
UPDATE: 5/24/2012
Won't be doing any work on this for a while. Phone got run over and can't afford a new one right now. Using my SGS4G as a backup until I can get a good price on an s2 or possibly a new S3.
UPDATE 4/5/2012
Good News is I got my phone back from JTAG repair... BAD NEWS is they messed up my usb port. Phone boots and all but I have no way to charge it.. When I plug it in it flashes a warning saying Battery is too hot or too cold, charging has been canceled. Was able to get in download mode and did a wipe to see if maybe it was a firmware issue but it did not help. Went back to download mode to see if I could flash a new boot.img and get this error:
Claiming interface... Failed. Attempting to detach driver...
Claiming interface again... Success
Setting up interface... Success
Beginning session...
Failed to initialise usb communication!
Re-attaching kernel driver...
Now my battery is completely dead so I can't try anything until I can get an external charger if they make one... will update as I can
UPDATE 3-28-12 5:24 p.m. est
For those of you who keep sending me PM's asking to test...
Go to the thread in the Development forum and download it. The Thread was closed but links are still active.
UPDATE #2 3-28-12
I won't be able to work on this for a few days.
Bricked my phone working on a different kernel and modem.
Will send it out for jtag repair and have it back sometime next week hopefully...
Guess I will jump back to the sgs4g forum and work there for a few days.. Have that phone with unbrickable mod...
If anyone knows if unbrickable mod is available for this phone let me know.
I Have no problem tearing it apart and performing the mod.
Update 4/1/12 Turning down in call volume will cut down on in call echo.
Thanks

I would like to apologize in advance for not asking my QA inside of the QA section.
On a side note i was having data issues and I flashed cache and reenterd my APN settings manually and it fixed it

good to hear

You need to flash the superuser zip again in CWM. So long as the thread didn't get deleted in Development, look at the 3rd post, you should find a link there.

I actually had the same question too but no one answered..I ended up restoring my NAND backup of a 2.3.6 ROM, manually forcing it to go to WCDMA only, then re-flashing ICS, which effectively saved the settings. For some reason lol

is there a crt off option anywhere? it's the only thing missing (besides the autorotate, everything else works for me).

Is there a way to get the keyboard to go landscape without auto rotate?

any one has a problem with gallary not working when trying to add picture to a contact in contacts?

can we get the ics threads stickied, just so they stay on the front page to avoid a barrage of 'where do i download ics?' threads? since the threads can't be bumped by posts anymore.

Also having an issue with the gallery. The gallery works fine and I can view the pics, but trying to set a picture as the lockscreen background causes the gallery to freeze and screen to turn black and unresponsive. the capacitive buttons light up, and when I hit the power button it says unfortunately gallery has stopped. I've cleared data/cache, any one else able to reproduce this bug?

[Q] Screen turns on randomly

Hello everyone... I come to you with a rather annoying problem. I am running Calkulin's latest GB rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837 and it happens at the lock screen. My phone's screen will be off and then every so often it'll randomly turn on. It doesn't do it constantly, but enough to be obnoxious. Does anyone else have this issue? I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen (paid for), but it does it with the standard lockscreen as well.
Thanks in advance!

Try uninstalling widget locker and see if the problem is still present? It could also be a setting in widget locker!

I uninstalled WidgetLocker and rebooted my phone and it hasn't done it just yet, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks. Too bad though, I like that program D:
Edit: It's doing it again without WidgetLocker :\

Try wiping cache & davlik. If that doesn't work, then try fix permissions in recovery too.
Edit: Could be an app waking the phone too. Have you tried turning off sync or freezing apps yet?

Not yet, I'll give that a shot if the wiping cache, davlik, and fixing permissions doesn't work. Here's hoping! I have titanium backup pro so I can freeze apps... I know a few things sync like google calendar.
EDIT: Still does it ;-;
Which apps should I freeze?

It might be overkill, but you could just back up texts, calls, and apps, then reflash your rom or try another. Just do a fresh install, don't restore data with your apps. It might be the quickest means to an end. Also, if it does it on multiple roms, it's possibly an issue with the power button. Give her a squirt of canned air before you go running off to the sprint store. Good luck!

Going to give this a shot, I don't have anything to lose. :x I don't have the zip file at work, but I'll download it and see how it goes. :3 Thanks. I'm trying my restore point from before I ever installed a custom ROM to see how that works first, though.

Go SMS had this under settings if you use that app

I had to reflash and reinstall without data restoring on all my apps. I restored a few key apps data and now it's not doing it again. Too bad I had to go to such extreme measures thoguh.

My wifes phone started doing that after I installed ad away... My guess is every time it blocked an air push ad it momentarily woke up. We also thought it might be a locker app or a recent update but removing ad away did the trick. Shame cause it works at killing ads.

I believe there is a wake on notifications option too. See if you can find that and make sure it is turned off

Most of the rom developers will implement ad blocking in their rom build. I know for a fact that Calkulins' use it. So you don't need to install anything else.
Sometimes they list that info on their OP.

Right right, I haven't had any issues since reflashing and everything... I had everything important backed up and I restored bit by bit and it's still doing well. I like the nice, clean feeling now Thanks for all of the help everyone.
And I read his OP but I guess I forgot ;-;

It has a setting where it will turn the screen on everytime you get a text like the iphone does. It doesnt sound like that is your issue though considering the way you say it happens randomly and you didnt mention anything about it happening when you get texts.

Do a data factory reset in settings, backup and restore mate. That should fix your issue. Backup important files to the pc first

Do you really think its the device problem or the operating system.?
Also when I first got my note 2 this issue never happened.

1st of all check that your power saving is off, and try to reset to factory settings, if you have CWM installed try wiping cache and dalvik cache too

My note 2 lags when opening documents and pdf of 100+ pages why is this? Tryed polaris, quickoffice, kingsoft, same on all of them. I'm not rooted or anything just had the device for 2 weeks now

Disable svoice it will help speed things up
To do so open svoice then hit menu and then untick the option for svoice on double tap
It really does make a diffrence

[Q] How do you fix Force Close when removing a home screen?

Hi All,
I am in the UK and have a new 16GB White unbranded unlocked Note 2 running stock JB 4.1.1, the device has never been modified or rooted. When I go into aerial view and attempt to drag a home screen into the trash I get a Force Close in Touchwiz which restarts and the home screen remains in place. I have tried format of cache in recovery but it made no difference. I don't want to do a factory reset and lose my stuff, but will do if thats the only fix. Do I have any other options? Has anybody got this problem and did you resolve it?
Thanks for any replies
Phil

Surely someone has at least experienced the dame problem ?

That happened to me when i diasbled animations in settings, development options, always enable them from 0,5 or higher.

Anyone found a solution to this problem. I had disabled animations from the "Developer Options" previously. I have enabled them now but I am still getting the crash.

Try reboot in recovery and wipe cache and reboot.

[Q] You can help me see this in the end is how?

I am a user from China,Brushed rom lock screen disappears, the standby interface yellow text, press and hold the power button is no longer prompted to shutdown or restart, will directly turn off the phone.
Just enter 1,5 dialing panel, the test mode will enter the following figure, say, 1.5 at the beginning of the number can not dial.
Road is not anyone who can help me solve this problem? THx！

You have to repartition the phone using a full stock tar. T3 prohect and I had this problem. He probabaly still has the file that you need to flash in odin.

This rom is great. I love the yellow theme!

So you understood everything he said? O
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2

Best thing to do
I suggest u two things to do :
1,choose a right and stable rom for your Note.
2,run a super wipe before you flash a new rom.
3,if you are a fresh man here ,why not try miui first, the instruction is written in Chinese at list,
