I?ve noticed that the JB update changed a lot of my settings. So far, I?ve noticed that it changed the screen timeout from 1 minute to 30 seconds and checked the box to always vibrate when I receive a text message. It also made my home button close apps and return to the home screen when I just wanted it to wake up the phone.
It?s very annoying that I would have to readjust my settings after a software upgrade. Google and Verizon should be embarrassed.
I click on Google, and nothing happens.
My battery life is garbage... not noticing any other bugs but the battery life is so bad!

I can tell my battery is taking a nose dive, lost about 10% in the past 20 minutes, this should be fun
No, it doesn't do anything until you enable and configure it. At least I don't see it doing anything, and I have no plans to do anything with it at this point.
You guys will call me nuts but I'm so comfortable with ICS and reading all these issues you folks are dealing with make me even more happy that I stayed with it. It sucks to have a great phone but you can't get it to perform how you want it to because of issues from an update that was supposed to make your phone perform better. All the "buttery smoothness" doesn't seem worth all the hassle I'm reading that the majority of you are going through. I've never been the type to jump on something just because of the hype. Let the kinks get worked out and I'll mess with it when it's tweaked. Just my opinion of course but I'm in absolutely no rush to get rid of ICS at the moment.

This is half true from my experience. Once you enable it (the little pop-up box that comes up the first time you open it), it will configure itself without you doing anything and will become self-aware. It noticed the weather I was googling, the locations I was looking for on maps, the team scores I checked, and based on the browsing history it created cards of it's own that it was auto checking and updating every few minutes. I wasn't even using navigation on my way to work and I saw a card say "there is a 5 minute delay on your route to work", which leads me to believe it does these things unless you alter the default settings to stop it, as I did.
And use the USB cable that came with the phone.Then you don't have the drivers installed.
