Ics issues!!!

**CrazyArcher462** · 01-10-2012, 05:36 PM

Am I the only one having mega-issues with the ICS upgrade on Prime? My screen is CONSTANTLY flaking out. Now in all apps not just browsers. Pic attached. Also where did the "user agent string" go in the default browser. I want desktop mode back!

**Kevin_G_Sanchez** · 01-10-2012, 06:29 PM

My home screen does it at times.

Never seen that, sorry man.

Not a single issue here

**czm2000** · 01-10-2012, 07:28 PM

That sucks. I haven't had a single problem with the upgrade.

I'm with digitalslacker. Try a hardreset.

I think mine is slower, and quadrant in not any better than my Droid Razr. About 2,700 not that it means anything, but I was curious because scrolling is slow and I need to swipe almost the entire screen now or it just snaps back.

Oh, and having to switch to performance mode every time is a royal pain too.

And the blank screen after opening a new link and having to swipe the screen up and down is my personal favorite.

**TrekMD** · 01-10-2012, 08:08 PM

I have not done the upgrade yet because I've been hearing about different issues, yet many are not reporting issues either. I guess I will take the plunge in a day or two (as long as it lets me continue to delay).

Rickc1015, I do not believe the Quadrant program has been updated to properly determine a score in ICS. So, the numbers may not be correct.

For those who have done the update, how much of an issue are you having with third-party apps that you've installed?

**gene26** · 01-10-2012, 08:18 PM

I am seeing the above issue in a number of apps. Namely the browser, reader, Gmail I think, tegra zone, market, and possibly more. It's very frustrating to have this issue!

Edit: now that I pay more attention, it's happening on the home screen, and in almost any third party applications is run. Was there any luck running the factory restore?

I downloaded Browser Plus from the Market so I could get back the User Agent setting for Desktop mode. I wonder why they removed it?

Other than that, ICS works like a champ on my Prime.

On my nexus with ICS the browser has an option to "request desktop site" in the menu button. Have you tried opening the settings and looking for that option?
EDIT: The prime has the same option. GO to the menu button on the top right and click the option

Good find. I was looking for the User Agent settings all over the options menu because that is where it was located in Honeycomb.

For all the folks that suggested a factory reset... I tried this last night. Once it finished I completed the basic setup and signed in with my google account and within minutes the screen issue started acting up again. Its happening all the time, settings menu, home screen, in browser, in mail, everywhere. Been looking in other forums and I'm not the only one here. Hopefully a fix soon or my beloved Prime is headed back to Best Buy.

It is indeed quite frustrating. Mine is actually doing this as I type. I am quite sad to hear the factory reset didn't solve the issue. Because other than this (albeit large) issue, everything is fantastic. Love the blue touches ics has where green was default.

I have 4 different clocks displaying 4 different times. I'm set to use system time. Clock in the system tray is five minutes slower than the one that pops up in the notification box. The digital clock widget is five minutes faster, and the analog clock widget is 3 minutes faster. None of them are within 5 minutes of the actual time.

**otgwindow** · 01-12-2012, 12:30 AM

I get random reboots and screen freezes after ics update wasn't rooted. before. Maybe rooting will take care of problem or when my dock arrives that will correct problem. If not will return.

+1. Im getting freezes and reboots while watching video on MX Player.

**Darkblue31** · 01-12-2012, 12:54 PM

I get that when only my browser is open, and it reboots and only one or 2 windows open in the browser. And its only been happening since ICS

**mrddean** · 01-12-2012, 01:23 PM

Would love to help, but I have "Serial Number Unknown" and cannot update to ICS. Maybe I should be happy? No, actually I am pretty pissed.

I wish this was the case, but I had just turned it on and went straight to the video player to watch a movie before going to bed. The movie froze on me twice and the tablet restarted.

**ReefJones** · 01-13-2012, 09:34 AM

Mine does the the screen thing when trying to watch YouTube videos on web. I also have random uncontrolable reboots after my Prime completely locks up and freezes during apps, web browsing, and sometimes just looking through folders for docks. Cherry on top, my wifi is extra whack. Literally less than 20 feet away and only have two bar signal (the itty bitty ones). I was so fed up I called Asus and they had me do a factory reset which did nothing so now they said to send it in. I think I will just get a different tablet. I waited for over 6 months for this thing, bought it pre order, waited another month, gave my iPad2 to the prewife and now this is whack. I hate Apple and the limits on my ipad2 but at least it freakin worked flawlessly for me except the whole lack of flash business... I thought ICS was supposed to be the savior Android had been waiting for. I guess I'm just fed up...

Reef that makes two of us. I was following this thing's release since last July. Bought on pre-order, and fought with Best Buy just to get it in my hands. I was pretty danged happy with Honeycomb, but also stoked for the possibilities of ICS. LETDOWN. I spoke with Asus and they said try a "data wipe" which is accomplished by powering off device and powering it up by holding the down volume button and the power button until a menu comes up. Release, press volume up to choose data wipe and let it go from there. Of course this did not solve my issue either. Now they say RMA it. BAH!
Also to the person who says "there is not enough memory". That is bogus. I used the task manager to "one click clean" as soon as my Prime booted after the data wipe. Opened the browser, got to browse for a few minutes maybe, and bam, whacked out screen again. FML!

**yazoowho** · 01-14-2012, 10:49 AM

Any way to roll back to Honeycomb?

I'm actually having the same issues ICS that i was having that I was having on honeycomb (random reboots and apps crashing all the time). I don't know if they did it on purpose, but there shortages they are having might work to their favor. If they had them in stores i would have returned this thing long ago. Has anybody found a fix to these problems by any chance? I had the IPad, galaxy 10.1 and the 8.9. The 8.9 was best so far. I just want this thing to work like that and I will be happy.

**Lawrence76taylor** · 01-14-2012, 06:42 PM

Did the factory reset without installing any apps. It worked fine until I installed Amazon app store and tubemate from Amazon. I removed these 2 apps and haven't had any issues so far.
