Few queries regarding the Note!

---

Hi all,

I have had my Note for few weeks and like it, but have a few queries.

1 - The battery for me dies really quickly when doing anything, I can fully charge it then talk on Facebook for an hour and it's down to 50% just from that, or play a game and in a hour it loses 60%, is this normal? I have everything turned off and brightness down at 50% (I kinda refuse to have it less than that as one of the reasons I got the phone is because if the display) and even at 50% it isn't as good as I know it can be, but the battery just dies so quickly!

The following queries are regarding ICS which I updated too yesterday.

2 - Since upgrading to ICS, everytime I get a text and read it the message icon number doesn't leave from the messaging tab, like as if I haven't read the text, this didn't happen before the upgrade and wondered if anyone else is having this issue and what I can do? I can get rid of it via deleting convo or restarting the phone but I shouldn't have to do those things.

3 - I have noticed more lag since upgrading, like half a second when changing pages and stuff, not a massive deal but again it wasn't like that before, is it because ICS is more ram hungry and that's just way it is? I have noticed a lot more ram being used since upgrading, and when I goto task manager and close apps it will say for example '12 applications closed' and then I go straight back into it without opening anything else and it will say '15 apps closed'...Again, this never happened with Gingerbread.

Anyway, any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Hmm, just read the sticky, should this topic be in the questions and answers forum? Sorry if so and if someone could move it I would appreciate it, thanks.

I'm afraid to say I am not good with phones and the techs of them.

I updated it via the official software update on the phone, it popped up and asked me to update and I did.

Don't worry about it... We aren't dealing with rocket science.. Here in xda we have lot of experienced advisors who have created "how to" threads in development section. Just find the stickies in that forum you can find Dr. Ketan's guide about flashing roms thru PC Odin. It's zero risk. Anyone can do that. That would definitely solve your problems.

Here is the thread..

Thanks, will take a look and see if it helps.

Sorry I am bit thick but didn't really understand a lot of it haha.

Found out today as well that since upgrading to ICS I can no longer send or receive mms and my GPS has stopped working! Great. Got an ace phone and now can't do the most basic of things, and apps keep crashing since updating too.

I noticed a lot of people have similar probs to me from reading about, the phone updated to version 4.0.3 while a lot of people who don't seem to be having the probs have 4.0.4 but the Note won't update to that.

Really annoyed, and the battery is just ten times worse on ICS for me, I went to be with it at 100% and woke up and it was at 70% with everything turned off!!!

As I said I am not phone savvy but with all these probs I am not happy and might take it to a shop to see if they will downgrade back to GB which I was very happy with as not sure what to do...Can't send or recieve mms's, gps not working, laggy, very poor battery drainage, when I get a text and read it the number icon doesn't leave the messaging icon plus more.

Not happy, feels like I have a basic phone that I am paying top price for!!
