Help Issues

[Illogicalpedia]

My phone always freezes, especially when I delete videos or photos. It gets push ads, I once had a situation/issue of not being able to hear while calling, heck the person I was calling didn't even receive the call. The battery life is also terrible. This morning I had 91% battery, 15 mins later I GOT 69, 1 hour later it became 11%

When is the last time you powered off by holding down the power key and choosing that option? Doing that on a weekly helped with call issues like that you described back with gingerbread. It can't hurt to try it pon your S2X running ICS.

By push ads do you mean pop-ups on web pages? There's an option under advanced to block pop-ups when you use settings with a web page open.

No, they would just give me huge pop up ads saying get this game with a picture of the app they want you to get. Extremely annoying.

If I understand your problem, try something like AirPush Detector to find which app is causing it and then delete it.

It doesn't help. It says it can't find the cause. I am thinking of replacing my phone, if you replace your phone, could you change the color? I have heard people saying you can't even change the color of your phone when you replace it.

Okay the push ads on the games I understand. If your playing the free version of most android games these days you just have to live with the ads. They're called ad-supported games and they produce up to 7 times the revenue of the old try a few levels freeware games developers used to release. The only way to get rid of those ads is to pay for the ad free versions.

I feel your pain on the battery life issue. My new S2 running ICS really eats up battery even when I'm just reading articles or forums or books on the web. I'm thinking of using ODIN to switch over to gingerbread and see if its the hardware or the software. I think it's the software personally.
