ICS upgrade

[onlyoneromeo]

I updated to ics on my galaxy note and it sucked. Battery life you could watch desintigrate, low notification sounds, UI lag, missing features, forever boot time, decreased or up and down random signal changes. Really??? Tasty ics upgrade like all the reviews talked about???.....FAIL. Was so happy phone was going back the next day to best buy under my insurance. Bought new note. Keepin gingerbread which works amazing compared to that horror. When note 2 comes out, lookin foward to jellybean.

My note has been horrible too. I guess this update doesnt sit well with all phones.

My phone was all screwed up after the update
Android central app kept rebooting my phone, major camera lag, navigation voice would sometimes talk real slow,Craigslist app scrolling would lock up my phone, and other issues ,did a reset and that fixed some of the issues but ended up doing another reset and reflashing ICS now everything is fine.

rich250,
I want to reset and reflash ICS just like you did. I think I know how to reset on the phone, but how do you reflash? Kies program is telling me that the note is on the latest firmware, and there is no option to flash the same version one more time.

So, now the notifications work fine except when Bluetooth is attached. The notifications stutter a little bit.

First is your phone the SGH-I717 , because the reflash apparently don't work with the I717R
do the reset then hook your phone up to kies,at the top select tools then in the drop down select firmware upgrade and initialization,this will reflash ICS just as you flashed it originally.
