Bionic ICS Hot List: Annoyances, Bugs, Defects & Other Issues

I thought it was about time to create a unified thread that everyone can add to, about ICS annoyances and issues that you are experiencing using the new ICS releases that are coming out almost daily now. The developers post what is not working, like "Camera", but in reality that just refers to the hardware that isn't working. Functionality is a different story and my hope is that this thread can be a single place where everyone posts what their annoyances/issues are and then the community can decide what items need to go on the "hot list" below. This list will be the items we'd like to see fixed by our ever-so-awesome development community.
Regardless of which ICS build you are using (ICS4BIONIC, CM9, AXI0M, AOKP, KANG, etc.) there will always be little quirks that you'd like to see fixed. Post them here, and we'll see where it goes!
NOTE: Try not to post "as designed" annoyances/issues. For example, if you don't like that pressing the apps tray button brings up the apps list, well that is how Google "designed" their OS to work. That is a preference thing, not an actual "issue" that needs to be fixed, so you should seek out a third party app to address your need. Also, this list should attempt to only contain items that are issues on all custom ROMs, not just your specific one.
I will start this out with my list. I will edit/modify this list as time goes by and items get fixed and recommended, or deemed important/unimportant by the participants of this thread.
CURRENT HOT LIST (updated 2012-02-29):
Data must be toggled to GSM then back to CDMA/LTE after every boot (This is commonly known by users who have been flashing ICS over the last few weeks/months)
Contact images do not restore, even after Facebook app is installed and all contacts are set to sync. All contacts have default gray Android image instead of contact photo.
If you make/receive a call while using other apps (such as Navigation) you cannot easily switch between them or go back to the home screen (you have to wait until the other person hangs up)
Screen rotation is VERY slow by default (200ms wait time). Change to 100ms or 50ms for easier usability
Camera works fine for still images, but you cannot record video. Pressing the record button does not start recording, it just flashes and does nothing. Switching to Panorama mode also crashes the camera app altogether.
Native Gallery no longer has scroll button to quickly drag through photo library. You have to manually swipe through multiple pages. In my case, I have about 50 pages of thumbnails, and have to swipe for about 30-45 seconds before I get to the date range of the photos I want to look at.
Toggling GPS sometimes modifies Location check boxes, and even though you have re-enabled GPS, you have to manually go into Settings/Location and recheck the "Standalong GPS" box
The native Launcher has no ability to add widgets by pressing/holding on the target home screen as in all other Android OS versions. You now have to go deep into the Apps/widget menu to add widgets (unless you use a 3rd party launcher which of course uses more memory, and should not be necessary)
Many Apps are unsteady and not ready for ICS, like K9 Mail, Root Uninstaller, etc. They will install, and seem to function, but odd behavior occurs. For example, K9 Mail will mix up user credentials between email accounts. Root Uninstaller will see all your apps, but show 0.00kb space used for some apps, so the "Uninstall" button is grayed out and the app cannot be removed. MovieStudio app crashes after creating new project.
Many Games (even simple ones like Doodle Jump and Cubes), will completely freeze up the phone and make it non-responsive after only 5-10 seconds of gameplay. The powerbutton will not even respond, and the user has to do a complete battery pull (which for me is a pain since I have an Otterbox, multiple-layers to remove, then put back on).
Apps that toggle the LED light are very delayed when trying to turn them off. For example, the most popular one on the Market is named "Tiny Flashlight + LED" which includes a widget to turn the LED on/off from your home screen. This worked flawlessly on Android 2.3, but on ICS toggling the LED is very unpredictable. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds to a minute to turn off. Sometimes it does not turn off at all, and the phone begins to get really hot and you have to reboot.
Native Wifi Tether/Hotspot Toggle does not work. You must use the 3rd party Wifi hotspot app.
The wallpaper is static now, and does not move in the background when swapping left/right between home screens. I have not found a way to modify this, and this may not be a "bug" per say, but how Android 4.x is designed (a change in GUI). If you are like me though and liked the old way which helped me know which screens I was on, then it can be annoying. The screen indicator line is so small now, a tiny 2 pixel bar at the bottom, so it is hard to see which segment is highlighted.
VoiceToText feature now does live translation, where it converts the words as you say them, rather than waiting until you finish speaking an then analyzing. This can be good and bad, since now you have to manually press a "Done" button everytime you stop speaking, as the voice engine will not automatically close and analyze when you stop talking as it does up through Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
DSPManager (Digital Signal Processing app) only modifies output through plugged in speakers or headphones, not live playback through phone speaker.
Muting: The user is unable to mute a phone call. Pressing the mute mic button will cause it to flash, but the mute feature never actually enables.
NOTE: I will not change the numbers next to each issue, but instead add new ones to the list that you all come up with, so if you reference a specific # in your follow-up posts then they will always stay accurate throughout the life of this thread when others are reading it.

you forgot miui4eva

You can't seem to mute a phone call either.

MIUI modifications are custom changes made by 3rd parties to modify the Android GUI/functionality and OS as a whole. Others can vote on this, but I don't believe this falls under the annoyance/issue category. Custom mods are really a different subject. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I'm not certain what you mean by this response. Can you please clarify?
FYI - The intent of this list is to keep the issues to Android-OS related items that we'd like to see the developers fix or enhance to work better. This list should only contain issues/annoyances of the OS of official system apps themselves that we'd like to tweak or change. The whole concept behind MIUI is basically wanting to turn your Android phone, for exmaple, into an iPhone, by making the GUI behave like Apple. This is just an example as there are many various MIUI endeavors. Thes emodifications basically install custom apps and change the GUI of the OS. This would be considered an after-ROM addon and changes the fundamental design of Google's Android OS. That is not what this list is trying to get at. We want to make the Android OS, as it is intended, work better; not redesign the Android ROM altogether. I hope that makes sense.
For example - See Wintergon's previous post about not being able to mute a phone call. That's a defect/annoyance that should already work properly, so it was added to the hot list. Of course, comments, questions and other viewpoints are totally welcome.

Bluetooth
Upon reboot, I have to toggle Bluetooth on/off for anyone to hear me on a phone call.
I have flashed and used all ICS versions available except Mimiu and found this issue. I have not tried to use BT headset yet

Upnp/dlna apps (bubbleupnp, moviebrowser) do not seem to work and actually lock up the wifi requiring a restart

I don't understand. If you are not using a Bluetooth headset then why is it enabled? Is this just for them to hear you using the handset mouthpiece like a normal call?

I know that i am not the only one alone on this one but the wifi just randomly dissconnect drops and the only way to solve this granted this was a temporary fix... fxz wifi fixer.. wonder if this has something to do with the data issue toggleing etc..

Hmm. I use wifi pretty much the whole day at work and at home and have never had any drops. They are different routers and ISPs as well. I would look into your wifi router settings. Try downloading the app named "Wifi Analyzer" from the Android Market and make sure your router is setup to use a Channel number that no neighboring wifi networks are using.

OK. Then in that case they wouldn't make this list. You'd need to contact the developer of those apps or find working alternatives. Sorry, I know that is a bum answer.

Weird things happening since Gear

I have had my Gear for 3 days. For the most parti have been enjoying it. But there have been some aggravating problems.
1. I can no longer put my Note 3 in One-handed mode for all screens using the gesture. I've checked the songs and everything, and it is still activated. This was a feature that I used constantly! Now ever since linking with the watch it doesn't work anymore. Even after un-linking the watch from the phone, no luck. Very frustrating. Please help
2. Secondly, every time I go into my browser (stock) it talks to me. As if the accessibility option is on for blinds people. It says stuff like "page loading". The crazy thing is, this feature is turned off in the accessibility options! Someone please help as I don't know what to do. I haven't found any thing on Google web searches on this topic. It's surprising that is only me.
Please help!

have you granted an app permissions in the accessability settings? Samsung have a serious bug with this - do a search for samsung talkback issues. Also look here
http://developer.samsung.com/forum/board/thread/view.do?boardName=GeneralB&messageId=229161
Suggest you do not use any apps that needs the accessability service.

Thank you! I had given the Face book app for the gear rights. That app is not really that good anyway. That fixed both problems. That's a weird bug. Thanks for your quick response.

Glad it sorted both problems. Allowing an app accessibility access not only causes talkback issues but limits the functionality of additional features provided by samsung - such as air view etc.
I posted feedback on the facebook app - they should not need to use accessibility now that we have android 4.3 - instead that should use the android notification service.

Quick for Wear - Reply with keyboards and quick replies on whatsapp, fb, hangouts etc

No root needed!

Hi
The software works as advertised. Thanks for the excellent software. However, this is my wishlist:
In Whatsapp and Telegram notifications, the profile picture of the person who sent the message doesn't not appear on the watch if i use Quick for Wear. However, the picture appears if i disable Quick and use the standard Whatsapp
There is no emoji keyboard or no way to use at the same time Quick reply and draw an emoji feature of Google wear
This is limitation for Android Wear. If someones send a picture in Whatsapp, I only get a notification but i cannot see the image on the watch. I don't know if someone could write an app or if you can add this to Quick
Also a limitation of Android Wear (and not related to Quick), you can only reply to messages and not create a new message. I hope Google can implement this later
Again, Thank you for this app. Being able to reply to messages on the watch is great )

Let me answer you point to point:
This is normal. We have picture mirroring planned but not implemented yet.
You can actually access an emoji list long pressing the lightning icon
This could be done, but I'm not sure it would be a good idea to bring it in Quick. I'll investigate
This can be done only with root and xposed at the moment

Too bad i cannot root my S6 without tripping Knox so xposed is out of the question at the moment. Sending a SMS or hangout is not as popular as Whatsapp here

Do you have planned to add the number 4? It would be very cool if I can send messages without waiting for somebody to message me and Instead just open an app in my watch and send it directly.

Enable issue
Just bought the app recently but can't seem to enable the notification/app. Currently using the Huawei p8w 5.0.1 with a moto 360 v1.
After selecting the app for notifications, it still shows up as "Disabled"
Tried changing the notification settings but still not working, app isnt showing up on my watch either.
Anyone with the same issue?

try restarting your phone. the state you see there is directly changed by the operating system, so if it's not changing, it's because the phone is not giving permissions to access notifications to the app.

Not really, Quick was projected as a no-root solution. Wear Messenger has an xposed module and antiviruses keep throwing false alarms on it. (and the 360 security support is not doing anything). I don't want the same plague to kill Quick.

Yes, please keep it as a non-root solution. Or in case you ever implemented it, maybe use a two programs solution: one normal and one root

Hey ! I own the Moto 360 2nd and "Quick for Wear".
Problem: I enabled the keyboard but if i get a whatsapp message i cant repley with keyboard
WHY? pls help me.

Hi
Sometimes, the toggle for Quick for Wear is set by itself to disable, However, the toggle is still on in the notification access settings. I have to re-enable it to start receving notifications on the watch.
It is totally random

About point 3, I don't know if it's possible but it would be awesome if you can add it. Maybe a good way to open the image and not make the conversation difficult to read is, when someone send an image you will see in the chat: Image, and when you tap on it you see the image.
I don't know how difficult it would be, I really like your work with that app, as bought it some days ago and I'm so happy with it but if you can add it the app will be just perfect.

Disable launcher suggestions, alternative/hack for notification LED?

I love the device so far, ran only into two minor hiccups.
1) I had other Huawei phones recently and either this is new or I managed to disable it previously and forgot how: When I open the app list I get a row of "suggestions" and find those useless/annoying. Can I fix that?
2) I .. didn't even know that it would come without a notification led before it arrived at my doorstep. Somehow every phone I owned in the last decade or so had one and I start to miss it. Are there any software fixes for this, maybe using the always on display mode?

for 1) - unninstall tips app

Thst doesn't change the behavior (bit is probably a good idea anyway..).
My app drawer starts with a row of suggestions (recent apps I guess), a little bit of separation space and then I have the normal A-Z listing of apps.
The suggestions are bad/crap/wasting space 99% of the time, so I want them gone. Tips doesn't do that as far as I can see..

For the second the P30 pro has Always on display and after the 124 update shows all messages from all apps. Even from 3rd party apps.

How.. why..
That is a (cool?) app to show your battery status around the notch area.
It certainly has nothing to do with the app drawer/launcher problem, but I also don't see the relation to the missing notification led (although it would be cool if the app could function as that instead of a battery indicator, but then it also would need to be displayed whole the screen is "off").
Unrelated, no?

Unfortunately that seems not good enough.
For one, notifications are funky/working only half the time for me so far.
Worse, the notifications that do appear on the always on display are gone after I unlocked the phone once. Even if the notification still exists/wasn't dismissed, it's now gone from the always on display.. :-/

Thanks, that .. might be a solution, maybe. Will spend some time with it, a quick install was both interesting (it's really customizable) and disappointing (some things didn't work at all and I'm .. unsure how it interacts with my default lock screen, how the unlock process is changed).
Maybe just needs more time to check it out? Unfortunately I haven't found proper documentation and the spelling in the options is a bit hard in places [English is a foreign language for me too, so no blame here].

How to prevent ColorOS[CN] setting from changing back?

I realized that when I change some settings in ColorOS it magically changes back without telling you.
I installed Google Assistant from the app store. It required Google Assistance to be selected as the default Assistive App [default value : none]. After I changed that.. it changes back at some random amount of time.. I'm not able to work out how long it takes for it revert the setting.. but sure enough it will.
Another App is LastPass.. It requires me to Enable Autofill from accessbility Options.. Once again I turn it ON.. after some random amount of time it will revert it back to "Off"...
What can be done to stop this from happening?

Happens to some degree in the EU model too,noticed the lastpass app autofill stops amongst other things. Am thinkin maybe it's the Phone Manager app which I think kills battery intensive apps if you allow it

I'll give this a try.. I've gone into phone manager -> startup manager and allowed the two apps.. the two apps wasn't there even though I have allowed the app to run in the background.

Man,I don't know what the issue is but read on the Realme community that the OS just reverts to defaults to ensure proper functioning of the phone,
ColorOS is certainly the biggest downside to this phone. Am missing OxygenOS on my 6T a lot though I'm Gona stick with the x2 pro for now,
Bought the phone for its flagship specs and storage and and to get away from the hassle of messing around with the phones setting's with tricks and mods.
Have decided to just accept colourOS for what it us.,though there is some battery drain,it's not awful and I'm still getting notifications.
Will just have to hope things improve with updates and the next big update should improve things a lot,mind you,it's a long way to April ?

Not notice anything revert on mine... This sounds like the same issue I had on the mi 9... I can't remember how I solved it but it was something to do with the auto security checks the phone manager app did... After a set amount of time the phone manager would perform certain checks and reset certain options throughout the operating system.

Sounds about right,Have feeling the phone manager app has something to do with it.It does not like the developer options

Ok.. I found my work around for now.
I'm using tasker every 10 mins to change the accessibility options for all the apps that need it and set the google assistant to default.
Working ok so far for the last day.

Seems like more trouble than its worth,the only settings I'm having trouble keeping are the animation ones, but honestly it's not bothering me anymore. Have animations setting set to fast in the stock launcher setting and it's not so bad.

Did anyone found a solution? Im having this issues too...
