Thank God.
I have finally found someone who has this problem as well. For a minute I thought it was just me.

Everyone has same terrible looking contact pics. Not many seem to care. I care as well as you. I think it's horrible. I can live with it, but not having text reflow I can't live with. Why they changed that is beyond me..

What happened to the lock screen that allowed you to go straight to your camera (or text, or email, or other notifications)? I thought that was supposed to be one of the best features of ICS...

Yeah that's my biggest complaint about the update. I wanted the shortcuts the most from ICS
Plus the battery drain

I'm having the same problem with text notifications as well as missing the notification sound. Hope others are experiencing this.

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.

what is text reflow???

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.

Boat browser its working for me with txt reflow.

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..
