ICS glitch while making homescreen folders

[B. Diddy]

Got ICS yesterday, and was going to town making folders for everything on the homescreen. At one point, while I was moving a folder around, the screen froze, then all of the icons and widgets started flickering. Couldn't really do anything, but it cleared up after rebooting. Anyone else experience this?

Yup. I still haven't got the actual update yet but I've been using the leaked version for months now and it does the same thing you describe every now and then. The only thing I figure is that there's a problem with the graphics driver but was hoping it got fixed in the actual release. Apparently not.

I have exactly the same issue.

I have tried to use the new folder option, but suddenly the folders start to flash before the whole thing crashes leaving only the wallpaper and not option to restart the whole tablet.

I also have many other issues...

Apps are unstable (they flash rapidly and then crash), including Gmail which I cannot use at all (I have tried to uninstall and reinstall... but the same issues continue).

Like many other persons, my wifi is also unstable. It fails to connect when I arrive home (it used to before), once connected, it disconnects and does not connect back automatically.

I have tried to obtain help from Acer, but they are not really helpful. They only suggest to wait for an update, but do not seem to have an idea on when this might be.

Is there any possibility to return back to Honeycomb in the meantime? The new version does not provide a lot of improvements, anyway.

Every issue I have had was resolved when I did a factory reset. No issues since

I did a factory reset. There is at least one issue that has not worked (I am waiting to see if the other issues are solved):

When I ask the tablet to check if there is an update, it says the network coverage is poor. This despite the fact that the tablet indicates that the signal is strong and I am beside the wireless router.

Now, if there is an update that solves the issues with ICS, I will be unable to get it.

I guess there is no option but to return the tablet to Acer...

Heck, all I did was go over to xda and downloaded the update.zip and did the flash. All is good and it only took 5 minutes because I was running the leaked ics version so it updated only what it needed. It works perfect with no factory reset. I'm happy now!
