Initial Impressions of OTA .246

[1812dave]

I sideloaded Flash 11.1 and Dolphin 8.5.1 APK's on my Nexus 7. is there something in the particular flavor of ICS for Bionic that will prevent me from doing that?? IF so, yet another reason for me to be aggravated with Moto/Verizon yet again. sigh.

Same here.. I recently did that with my Nexus 7, but I'm wondering if the Dolphin Browser Beta will support Flash player if I side load it. I hate the browser I have to use to access Flash player onmy Nexus 7 (Aurora)

It was in Dolphin Browser that I discovered the issue this morning, when I started to listen to an overseas news program that runs in either Flash or Windows Media Player . Reinstalling as outlined above has me back up and listening, with no additional actions required for the browser in particular.

So we received 246, but 247 was the update we were supposed to get if we were getting jb. But now Motorola is saying we'll get jb in q4. So how's that going to work? And for those with inside sources, did they tell you why they chose to go with 246? Just curious, and happy i now have ics.

Several have no doubt discovered that Flash is gone after the OTA, and the page on which it used to reside in the Google Play Store is no longer live. I've seen various approaches to the problem, but the easiest for me was as follows:

Hope that helps!

Here's the direct link to the Play store location.

I can access it via the play app, but trying to access via the browser on my phone gives a page not found error. Alternately, you can go to that link from your computer and have Google push it to your phone (which is what I did).

Just a few tips based on what I've been reading on this thread...

Try Boat Browser on Google Play. Very nice browser and works great with Flash and ICS/Jellybean.

Also, to access Flash again go to your apps in Google Play then over to All Apps and scroll down until you find it and then reinstall it.

Finally when you disable apps in ICS they will appear at the bottom of your manage apps list. You can re-enable them from there.

I went from 232 to 246 via HoB, after a day I decided to do a Factory Reset (felt battery was draining too fast).. anyways, I couldn't find Flash on the market from the phone, just searched from my laptop and found at that link and clicked install.. works great!

Any word if there is a way to disable the boat ware with ICS? Something similar to what could be done on the RAZR?

Put the leak of the OTA on my wife's phone this morning. Really like it. Couldn't wait for push lol. She was bothered at first but is learning it quickly. I like how stock it looks in some aspects. So far no problems.

You can disable bloat, must un install updates first then you can disable.

Go to the Manage Apps menu setting. For each bloat ware you don't want, go into its settings, first uninstall updates (if applicable), then the button changes to "Disable". If you ever want them back (does anyone ever? Lol), go to the manage apps again, go to the "All" tab, and you will find them at the very bottom of the list.

Awesome! I that's all I needed to know if it was there or not. I'm still waiting on ICS to arrive.

Interesting. Trying to get to that link from my computer yields the same results as from the phone: Not Found and We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.

Hitting the system update before it's ready sends you to the back of the list.

My initial impression? Im still sick of waiting. Verizon is a joke. Jelly Bean will be another years wait.
Should have gotten the iPhone. Live and learn I guess.
