Jelly Bean - What's the big deal??

[sbudaj]

I know JB is the latest OS available for the Bionic, but I really don't see what all the fuss is about. Not much changed, other than a few icons and some fonts.

For the most part, everything else is exactly the same as ICS.

A few apps aren't behaving properly, but that could be expected. I lost my weather widget which I really liked.

One thing not working properly is when I use my bluetooth speaker in the car and try to make a call, it automatically selects some Google app that never gets the called person's name right, instead of the Voice Commands app which always gets the called person's name correct. Is there a way to select which app is used to make calls from my bluetooth device? (I couldn't find one). If I select the Voice Commands app manually, it works.

I really don't see much difference in speed or operation.

Am I missing something???

Thanks.

Keeping in mind we are going from 4.0 to 4.1, the difference is nowhere near gb to ics.

Might have to select 4.1 in that link but that should give a general idea of the new features

I don't know about you, but my phone is much more usable since the upgrade. The UI reacts much more fluidly and naturally. My battery life is also much better. Try a reboot or 2 to see if that helps..
