One more question. Will all my widgets stay where they are now after I update? Anything I need to know before I do this? Thanks for the help.

What have you tried? Are you using the stock messaging app? If so, I suggest going to Go SMS Pro (my favorite) or one of the other available apps. They are more customizable...and are free!

I use Handcent i have uninstalled tried stock same issue, and installed Go SMS same problem, The sound plays when i select it for my notification in the settings and just vibrates when i actually get a text.

Is your browser slow loading pages? I saw a post that people are saying after ICS there pages take forever to load.

Do you use the stock browser?

**piizzadude** · 08-04-2012, 07:30 PM

yes, right now I am totally stock .12

I thought I would encounter bugs for sure but my phone is running faster and smoother than before by FAR. The screen transitions show a slight fade in and out and the browser is silky smooth. I have encountered a few issues with the chrome browser and SwiftKey 3 and the input of text, but I'm thrilled with the phone exactly as is. I thought gingerbread was enough, but ice cream sandwich on these hot summer days hits the spot.

Is swift key only giving you a problem with Chrome? What is the problem you are having and have you fixed it yet?

**piizzadude** · 08-04-2012, 09:33 PM

Just my two cents... Chrome is the issue... Love it.. But it sucks.

I don't know if there is anything to this but I did a factory reset before the update because my phone was a "mess". My wife on the other hand didn't feel like dealing with the reset. My phone upgraded just fine. Her's was fine for about 24 hours and then got itself stuck in a bootloop. After 45 minutes on the phone with Verizon, they have decided that the phone is bricked and will be sending her a replacement. It's probably completely coincidental, but I will be doing resets before upgrading from now on lol

**mjp9775** · 08-04-2012, 09:51 PM

Swiftkey 3 is also giving me problems. Moving up and down inside of a message doesn't work and predictions don't always show up.

**RZM** · 08-04-2012, 09:57 PM

Noob here. I have a couple of questions. I don't seem to have the ignore/quick text option. I also understood the people app to be redesigned and it sure looks the same to me?

**DaBigKahuna63** · 08-04-2012, 10:19 PM

I did not do a factory reset and got the update the morning after they started the push. I have not had any issues with ICS. With GB my phone would lock up and reboot itself or I'd have to take out the battery and restart. No such issues (or any other) with ICS yet. However I'm not a heavy user.

I had the same issue until I remembered I hadn't set Handcent to be the default app for SMS, once I turned off the stock text app it was fine.

My phone is actually running much better and smoother. I used to have to use an extended battery with gb but since the update I switched back to the stock battery and it works very well. I get about a full day on a single charge.

this is not your mom's!

Ok, so here is my question: I upgraded to ICS as we all did. I'm having a few problems with my phone (apps not responding and such). THinking of doing a backup then doing a fact reset then reinstall the apps I need the most (Alot of crap on there I dont need). If I run the fact reset, will it bring me back to GB or ICS?

You'll still be on ICS.

The problem is when I'm typing in the search bar, if I make a mistake and try to back space, it retypes the last 3 letters of the word over and over and over. I usually close the chrome browser use the stock browser, where there are no issues. I'm not sure what's causing it to fix it. And I'm not attached to the chrome browser so it's no big deal, but it it is the only bug I've encountered.

I wonder if SwiftKey is aware of this issue?
