Anyone notice when viewing the play store, say you scroll halfway down the page and view an app. you decide not to install, hit the back button and then are returned back to the top?? Did this happen in gb?

Bluetooth won't pair with SYNC
Battery life
Glitchy
Phone actually crashed
All forms of wireless connectivity suck.
No more USB Mass Storage capability.
Sucky roll out
AND YES, this is all after a factory reset and spending 6-8 hours putting it all back how I like it.

When you resize a page, it used to resize then reflow the text to keep it all in the viewable page. It no longer does that and sucks.
That and foxfi being killed are my two biggest gripes.
Little annoyances like the Swype to unlock note, the little keyboard symbol in the corner when typing, resized contact photo space, and the whole contact page in general.
I see no improvements worth mentioning and wish i would have just stayed with what i had.

You know what is really weird with the contacts? if you turn the phone to landscape, the contact photos are normal! Someone really screwed the pooch on the new contacts app.

I even had to install a new dialer because the ICS one no longer shows call duration in the logs...

Your right about the pics when turning to landscape. I hadn't noticed. That will prob be updated.. Hopefully!

Sorry, but I can't say it enough how much I hate the text reflow not working. I have three browsers installed trying to find one that's useable.

I'm using Maxthon browser, reflow works there too.. Also have Chrome installed. Would rather just have the stock browser.. I just hope that it gets fixed. Thanks for the info..

Two ways.

1. go to contacts, tap the contact you want to know about, tap the menu , tap history.

2. tap phone, tap the arrow button , tap the contact icon ,then tap it again, tap menu , tap history.

How do u get rid of the data data usage warning? I have unlimited data and so dont know why this pops up.

**colalounge** · 07-20-2012, 04:37 PM

I just discovered the weirdest thing. My home button no longer takes me to my home screen. If I'm on another screen it just sits there or if I'm exiting an app or any other part of the phone it takes me back to the last screen I was viewing. I'm sure this wasn't the case after the initial update or I would have noticed by now. I woke up this morning and found the button no longer functions the same.

Have you tried rebooting the phone?

Not to mention that pano mode was always on the phone, built into TW out of the box... no need for ICS when it comes to that.

For you led indicators, go to settings>display and make sure pulse notification light is checked. Is anyone having an issue with their camera freezing after taking a pic and then trying to.view it by tapping on the little box on bottom left. Mine freezes every time. Ive already done factory reset.........

I think that's the first thing most of us tried

For the people with lockscreen complaints, try Hololocker from the Play Store. It's the Jellybean lockscreen and let's you choose the camera or regular unlock. I think they are going to eventually build in the ability to choose other quick launch apps, but so far only camera is built in. Better than nothing and I LOVE that JB lock.

I did find one annoyance. The phone is very slow to switch from wifi to 3g now. Before it took a second or two for 3g to take over when I turned off wifi. Now it takes more like 10 seconds.

Seriously, get Widget locker if you want to customize your lock screen.

**chssrckr** · 07-22-2012, 09:58 AM

most of the complaints on here can be remedied by ditching TouchWiz for APEX or HOLO Launcher.... not sure why anyone wouldnt do this

**mrcminnesota** · 07-22-2012, 10:24 AM

Opera Mobile works for the text formatting issue

**CRS1** · 07-22-2012, 10:28 AM

My G4 no longer works after this stupid ICS grade. It connects but I cannot surf the web or run any speed test.

I have done a factory reset and still issues with the G4. My G4 was working fine before this disaster upgrade came down.

Any suggestions?

Wish I could go back to GB.

Sprint Sucks!!!!

UPDATE-

G4 connects now, the speeds are HORRIBLE! I went to MSN.com and I was sitting for about 2 minutes and page was still loading. I also have full G4 bars.

Anyone having the same issue?

My G3 connection is much faster than my G4.

What a train wreck with this ICS update.
