I recently upgraded to my Droid Razr 32GB to ICS 4.0.4 and have since had the following issues.
1. Excessive Battery Drain - 3 - 4 hours max on battery.
2. Hot to touch - phone/cpu temp in excess of 110 degree's (temp acquired from GOLaunder BatteryInfo app)
3. CPU Pegged at 99 - 100%
4. Facebook App does not work. I hate to give fb that kind of attention, but they're a heavy player and I expect their app to work.
5. Multiple other app's or other widgets stopped working or read 'loading' continuously without every successfully loading.
6. Display is always over 50% of battery usage. Display has always been heavy on battery usage, but not like this.
7. Display brightness - lowest level is barely visible. This isn't the worst thing in the world, but again, an existing app that I had that allowed my to toggle several display brightness settings used to allow a 'low' setting that was low, but visible. now Low is almost INvisible.
Maybe all of these things are just me needing to learn how to manage how my phone operates with ics better, but the initial shock was enough to make me want to revert to gingerbread. I'm not giving up, plan to wade through the garbage and sift through the working apps to find the the ones that suck the life out of ics. I'll report back as I find things.
Please feel free to add to this list of issues, or post a known ics 'cpu sucker'. I am sure that some old app's are not optimized for ics. Just need to figure out which ones they are.
Oh, one last note. When I bought my Razr, I searched high and load for a battery widget that would help me manage my battery usage. I found the GO battery info widget to be great, but it required I run the GOLauncher. I wasn't thrilled at first, but have become accustomed to the GOLauncher and actually like some of its features like app folders. Truth is, I have no idea if the GOLauncher itself is part of the problem or not, but I don't want to uninstall it until proven that it is the problem. If anyone has insight on the GOLauncher and how it interacts with ICS, please add a post here for that also. (I Hope this isn't too much for one thread!)
