I got mine on 8/3 and also love it. My only wish would be a home screen that would do landscape. Battery life is much better, but I have the extended battery anyhow from previous days. Google Chrome is fantastic, so that is a nice improvement.
ICS, arriving today August 5, at 12:57am
hows that update.. did it rock your world?
You just have to cause trouble, don't you?
I just received the only major update to my phone. Yesterday at around noon it was asking me and I postponed until later that evening at around 7 pm. 8/19/2012
I don't like it... I do not like it at all. I actually wish I could go and remove all the changes they did. There are only a couple things they did that I liked and the rest is just a bunch of crap.
-Sound-
My biggest frustration with this update. My notification sound can no longer be a separate volume from my regular ringtone (phone calls.) Given I make less calls than texts I prefer the regular volume to be up louder to be sure I hear it. Notifications are not so important for me to hear. The least they could have done was add a "none" in my notification sounds. So I could turn it off.
The rest is just random stupid stuff I don't like. I'm using the 'blue' theme on my phone, well stuff is still green in the menus. I also had no choice in the mater on the change from white to black background on most if not all the menus. Why do they make these major changes and not in an option to at least choose the background?
The update came thru here at 7am EST today 8/29/12.....I don't like it either, my phone is running slow-I had no issues with ANYTHING before this update. My 4G is now gone..I checked the settings and MobileNetwork just says"Turning On"(for the last 2 hours).....so I have to use my wi-fi connectionwith my phone till I get it figured out. I DO NOT like the way the settings menu is set up, and I don't know what it's called but the little menu across the bottom...has got to go....Is there a way to un-do this "update"? I'm sure I'll come across other new changes...hope I like those. Am I missing something???
I've actually noticed my phone becoming slower. While at first it was fine, in fact it was better but the only reason it was better was because the phone was having fits while I wasn't accepting the update. If I restart my phone it smooths out just a bit, but overall its performance has dropped considerably.
I thought, for a moment that maybe I had too many messages. I haven't deleted anything in forever... But when I went to try and delete some... the phone just had some bought of fits and rejected my attempted to do so. I ended up restarting it and not going back to try and delete messages.
