I hadn't noticed Google+ but have now you mentioned it. What's annoying about that is that I use a separate GMail account for Google+ but it keeps trying to default me to the account I use for my phone.

Swype's gone (or at least not working) and I'm getting the occasional crash that blacks out the lower half of my screen.
Screen capture no longer seems to be working

I've been really excited about this and waiting with baited breath but either this manual install is missing something or Sprint have pushed out a buggy build.

It is annoying that it's a required app now.

It let me sign out using the menu button, and gave me the option to add another account. Hope that helps.

Restart, if it persists clear data on the swype app. This goes for any other app you might have issues with.

That works like a charm, but can I just add (since it's taken me half an hour to figure it out) - the way to do this is to go into the main menu then:

Manage applications > All > Swype > Clear Data

If you don't want to wait, see QBKing77's instructions on YouTube:

How to Manually Update to Official FF18 ICS on the Samsung Epic 4G Touch - YouTube

Got the update.....applied it from the root of SD and ICS is running flawlessly!!! FINALLY!

I was having Swype issues in the leaked builds too. I can't remember exactly but I think i fixed it by clearing the data and cache for swype in the applications menu. This will probably delete your word library so you may want to back that up.

Clearing the data fixed my issue.

borrowed an SD card and have ICS working fine for me.

swype wasn't working for me until i cleared the data.

Manually updated, love it soooo much !

I'm noticing if Wi-Fi is set to sleep it doesn't like to re-connect when I turn the phone back on. Have rebooted a couple times and still doing it. Only way is to manually turn Wi-Fi off and back on which is annoying - I always have it set to sleep to save battery.

huh, idk if its just that my phone is special somehow, but i did the manual update, and 2 of the 3 bigger issues i've seen on the forum with the release didn't happen to my phone, swipe not working, and the email not working. both seem perfect to me. idk about the battery life yet, just finished the update about 10 min ago

 

[lordstimpy]

Manually update too, now updating apps.

Is it normal to take more than a few minutes for it to be stuck on the little Android guy with the triangle? It came up at first went about a third of the way and then back to android guy. Should I redownload the file?

 

[Tsukiyomi]

Three more annoyances (and I can sense more to come):

1. Emails and notifications are coming in with a little alarm 'ping'. Anyone know where I can switch this off?
2. My display font isn't applying to email body text.
3. Can't find some MP3's that I had set as ringtones. Some are showing up, others are missing.

I already had the Google+ app installed but it did not have that separate messaging app installed that annoyed me to no end like it does now. The more I look around and read online the more it appears that this version of ICS is nothing but an homage to Google's fledgling line of "Play" things. They are everywhere on the phone and cannot be removed, only disabled.

The awful gray-black color of my email is annoying. My email is all screwy now and looking for advice/help online is almost useless as most sites when they are talking about ICS are specifically talking about it on the Nexus and it is dramatically different on our device.

By the way, how do you edit/re-arrange home screens on the stock version of ICS?
Can that awful Google search box be removed.
How do you get infinite scroll through the home screens?

 

[rinsf]

I think I'm having same problem - I get the triangle with the !, then the progress bar with the arrow, then it seems I am back to the triangle with the !. Appears the process is failing for some reason on my phone.

I just got the update, OTA after force closing and clearing Google Service Framework's data. I then mashed the "Check Now" button under System Updates. I'm in San Antonio, Texas. Not that I think any of this matters. heh.

 

[oskar1995]

Phone updated, I think overall I'm a big fan. The whole stutter when launching an app is a little strange.

Unfortunately, I lost 152,000 of Slotomania money. Every time I load the app is says "welcome". Backed up what I believe to be the save file, wiped data, wiped cache for the app, no luck so far.

I actually didn't do anything different, the scrolling never went away. Also, the home screens are still editable from the main menu (first) button then selecting Edit.

Has anyone managed to get the screen capture working? Mine won't at all, whether I use the Power/Home combo or Power/Volume -
