I know its not he best solution but I'm going to do a factory reset when I get the update.
You might want to do that and see if that helps.

I'd advise against that until more testing is done, because the eMMC bug is still present. Unless of course you're willing to risk a hard brick.

I believe the notification while typing is a "feature" of ICS...also, the cartoonish look may come from the new font, Roboto. I have no issues with Gmail syncing. I don't know what could be causing the lag issue, I'm not experiencing a higher than normal level of lag. I too have noticed the radio issue. Hope I could help!

People are saying to hit "clear data" on any apps you have issues with, especially the keyboards. I think that's in Settings>Applications>Swiftkey. FWIW, my swiftkey is working fine without doing anything to it.

Does "everything" really look big and cartoonish? My contacts photos are, but nothing else. Trying to resync these hasn't helped yet.

The sluggish UI is bad for me too. I used to have all the window transitions turned off, but I can't find that setting anymore.

GMail working fine for me too.

are you seeing a small keyboard in the notification bar? thats an ICS feature, pull down and tap and you can change keyboards, quite a nice a feature, the Blu Kuban ICS rom Ive been running, removes that feature, I like it so much that I reinstalled it. I switch back and forth between Swift Key3, Swype, and the ICS keyboard so I really like this feature.

To change the animation speed go to the main settings select developer options and then you'll see options for animation scale.

I did a hard reset and a lot of the problems I had disappeared. Idk why but it worked for me. However this radio bug is starting to really hinder things especially in stores and such.

So I got ICS the way qbking77 posted on Youtube and the only bug that I have noticed that is bothering me is I have Background Data Disabled but for some reason I'm getting notifications and still able to go into the market and download apps as if Background is Enabled. Is anyone else having this problem or have a solution? Just trying to get good battery life.

1. Not crazy with the photo pic for Favorites in Contacts nor the inability to list the Favorites (any way around that)?
2. Preferred GB Swype keyboard (the numbers/symbols keypad was set up differently and I preferred the numbers like a phone pad vs the top line)
3. I have noticed that when using facebook - often when I click the icon to open facebook the message "lost connection retry" shows and then suddenly disappears. I have seen this several times
4. I don't use the radio so can't comment on that
5. But, I have found my phone to "more" responsive.
6. I also noticed that when I opened google maps it just jumps to my location - much quicker all around
7. I have seen in other threads that some were having problems with messages - I have been able to send/receive picture mail and regular messages

So far, like what I see - waiting for the "horrible" and hoping I don't get it

Everyone having glitches or issues DO A FACTORY RESET. Ive done is 13 times without a brick. Users should be fine with only doing it once.

13 times for the ICS update?

 

[dev2nsu]

Sorry to sound slow but how do you do a factory reset?

I don't think dark knight meant for ICS update - probably total number of times for factory reset. I have actually had to do the factory reset 6 or 7 times since getting the phone last September due to issues.

 

[gtoatley]

Please excuse the ignorance, but if you do an factory reset, you have to reinstall everything? emails, apps, settings, etc.? I am having an issue seeing any non-gmail email. I get the notifications, and it seems that I can send email, but I can't see them. see picture.

 

[Tsukiyomi]

So is anyone else experiencing what I am with the Notification LED no longer working for incoming messages? I had red for mail/messages and blue for FB but now I'm just getting red when I plug in the charger and blue when it's charged, even with notifications turned on.

Also, this Roboto font is annoying the hell out of me. Is there a way of changing that for my email and FB content? Setting a new default font only changes the previews, not the text in the body of messages.

Yes, I am experiencing the same thing. I no llonger receive any LED notifications when I have an SMS or email message waiting to be read. This is really important to me to because I sync with my Exchange account at work after regular work hours.

I hope this is not a new change to the OS and that a fix can be found for this issue.

Hey all.

I went for the manual update the other day and I'm noticing some issues. Maybe they're not issues, but just features of stock ICS.

*Pinch to zoom is gone on the home screens (still works in other launchers I'm thinking stock ICS just don't got it)

*Can't use shortcuts on home screens. Ex: I used to use a bunch of settings shortcuts like brightness settings, but I can only drop widgets and apps now.

*Everything is more sluggish. I'm not talking about animation transitions, things are just noticibly lagging.

Any ideas?

Edit: I updated using the manual update and did a factory wipe afterwards, per the suggestions I've seen on the boards (this was all done Saturday morning).

I have the following issues:

1. Facebook "Lost connection" - It's at quick flash of the antenna image, but then the picture shows. This isn't a consistent issue.
2. Screen Brightness - The "Auto" feature doesn't work. The brightness stays on the selected level regardless of having the auto option selected.
3. Random Restarts - I've had two since the update.
4. Crashing apps - I seem to have more of these than before the update.
5. WiFi Sleep - I have it set to never sleep, but when I wake my phone wifi starts reconnecting.
6. Battery Drain - I've been having random changes in the rate of battery drain. I'm not sure if its a reporting error with the battery icon or if it just starts using more battery for syncing, etc. I was out at the mall for 5 hours (a total of 9+ hours since taking it off the charger) and I was at 50+ percent. Once home and connected to Wifi and not using the phone, I was down to 15% after 4 hours.
7. Notification Icons - They're huge and cartoonish, more of asthetic issue, but all of the screen shots of ICS that I have seen make the icons appear smaller.

I had to factory reset twice after the manual ICS update to get rid of the lag , overheating, and battery drain problems All seemed fine until I noticed that the phone charges really slow while on, but charges fine while off.
Always do factory reset after update. But I didnt have to delete the contents of USB drive
