ICS Bugs after your upgrade?

I do love the fact that the app screens are on pages to be scrolled sideways rather than one long icy scroll, that's very reminiscent of my palm pre, which I loved.

I don't like the google search screen being forced on me but I'm sure I'll get used to it.


Sounds like you don't like the built-in Launcher.. Just download Go Launcher EX and be happy. I tried the new ICS launcher and ended up going back to Go. So much better.

anyone noticing that that battery calibration is way off? mine seems to go from empty to 9% when charging, and I had it decharge from 62% to empty in 3.5 hours when presumably it was idle.

Think it may be due to chrome sync, but I'll keep monitoring

Did you check your battery stats to see what was the highest battery user?

One issue I have noticed is during a call it looks like they decided to focus on making it look cool, not function well. Rather than the contact picture in the middle it is oddly placed on the top of the screen in a far too landscape mode. The rest is black. Dumb

Not going to make any final judgements until I've lived with it for a while.
But I did notice the screen brightness is much dimmer as many here have stated.

I've also noticed that it seems be using quite a bit more ram doing normal operation? (Manage Apps - Running).
But it appears to be working fine.

It took me a while to figure out how to turn off the haptic feedback too.

Overall, I like it.

How do I change the volume of the notifications? As far as I can see it is linked to the phone volume which I don't want to change, but the email/text sounds are too loud sometimes. Anyone know?

Thanks

Has anyone had any problems with the screen going randomly blue, weird typing, apps acting up, and the phone not going to silent? Could be user error (I'm asking for a friend) but she did the update 20 mins prior to that all happening.

battery usage seems to have gone way up. still researching this, but I normally get to the office around 8:30 with around 90%, but today it was at 71%. Screen usage was draining the most battery, but I really haven't used it? Looking into No LED to see if that's causing any issues.

also it has re-booted on its own around 4-5 times since last night's update. wondering if some of my apps aren't ics ready and causing a crash?

it's only day 1, but i'm a little perturbed...

I have had no issues so far. Its like a new phone! My phone is actually much faster now than it was before. I'm elated!

Yeah, I agree - the new "in call" screen is awful, IMO.

Unfortunately, they made the change that ringtone and notification volume is always tied together now. Don't know why they removed the option to separate them.

Not sure if there is a third-party app to address this.

Cannot get rid of the "sync" icon at the top. Tried turning off backup/restore and turning off account sync and it still won't go away.

I'm assuming you've already rebooted...

I had one notification that wouldn't clear out or swipe away, so I rebooted and it was gone.
