I've had the same issue with wi-fi dropping. If i turn it off and back on it works, not a big problem, just annoying. Anyone know if this is a setting or a bug?

Most of the problems that people are experiencing can be solved with a factory reset. I know it's a rough option but that's just the truth of it. The OTA is basically a "dirty flash", and ROM'ers will understand what I'm saying here. Dirty flashing ROMs can cause all sorts of weird issues, and the OTA is still more or less just a ROM update.

The only problem I've noticed so far is my camera will not open

I strongly agree. I know people don't like it, but especially at such a large update, the phone may run better with a factory reset.

.12 is certainly smoother than .10 was.

HTC's Voice Recorder app still fails in ICS, though. It was unstable in .10 and again here in .12. Using a 3rd party app for recording use.

The only problem that I've found was I couldn't open up one message thread. But you can just delete that message thread, then text the person normally. You will lose all of your messages you had with that person, but you can just have them text them back to you again if there's something important on it.

oh, would rather not, but at times it does seem sluggish/choppy.
Does that mean music/photos/etc are wiped? or just the OS and then all the apps need to be reinstalled/reconfigured? (Play should take care of the reinstall for you, yes?)

That wasn't working. Had happened in the old version and that worked, but didn't this time.

Maybe it's a new feature added by Mom to get me to check my voicemail and call her back?
Well, at least it gets me to check voicemail... j/k I called already.

VZ Media Manager keeps trying to load and it fails and keeps running. I killed it through the apps running apps menu, but how can I get rid of it? Anyone else's doing that?

.12 is very fast on the Rez, Jerry. You have to be willing to do a full reset via HBOOT to enjoy the upgrade.

This is technology. If we aren't willing to follow the right processes, we might as well be knitting.

Settings ... Apps ... Find the app and tap on the name to open it ... Uninstall any updates to the app ... The same button will become a "Disable" button.

Best feature in ICS. Hehe

huh? what's wrong with knitting?
what's an hboot going to do to my phone?

 

[scottbr]

I'm good except that it looks like I lost the playlists I made in the stock music app. Ones that were imported from iTunes are still there.

All the music is there, though.

lol. Knitting is for slow, lazy types; that's all.

The HBOOT screen is what I mean. To get to it, make sure Fast Boot is off ( Settings > Power ). Turn off device. Hold volume down button while pressing Power button. You'll see an option to factory reset there.

In the past, I found that reset to be better than the one you get in Settings.

ok, thanks, but what will that wipe out? not my data/photos/music? just the system?

Actually, knitting is for the more affluent due to its slowness and labor intensive nature compared to weaving. In the pre-industrial era, one did not have time to sit around knitting stuff when there was other necessary work to be done. So, by all means, go out and toil away in the fields, serf. I shall sit here in the shade, sipping lemonade working on my latest doily.

It will wipe everything that is NOT on the sdcard_ext

I have noticed that since the update the phone is eating battery power and running hotter than ever, up to 120 degrees with nothing intensive being used. Has anyone else seen this?

Go to all apps, find phone, and drag it up to the new launcher where you see all apps located. You can put a total of 4 apps in that space. As seen in the picture of my screen I dragged email, phone, messages, and camera into my launcher area. Hope this helps.

These five button in the launcher area after the upgrade appeared all by themselves and I can do nothing to edit/remove some of them.

Just had some weirdness with WiFi...
could connect but only with the little dot at the base of the WiFi symbol (no radiating arcs), after a few seconds the connection would drop.
router working fine, verified with laptop.
turning WiFi on and off didn't help.
was about to reboot phone when I opted instead to check voicemail.
after checking voicemail, WiFi signal indicator shows full strength and no more connection issues.
anyone else?

this happened again tonight, about the same time. This time I did a power button reboot. I don't have time to muck around with a factory reboot right now as going out of town with limited internet access.

isn't there some "quiet time" setting somewhere? maybe that is the culprit. If no one else is having the problem, I guess that's good ,,, for everyone but me.
