Droid 4 Android OS update issues

Recently upgraded Android OS on my Droid 4: 4.1.2; Kernal Version 3.0.8-g473e586; Build # 9.8.20-72.VZW-18. Since then experiencing these issues:

1. The "DROID" audio announcement at startup is now very loud, perhaps 3X louder than before. This is irritating. Is there a way to adjust the volume or turn this sound off?

2. Within one minute of startup checking Voice Mail generates a "Network Error" message instead of going directly to VM. Before the upgrade VM was available immediately, no delay. Now there is a 30 to 60 second delay even after the signal strength bars show connectivity before VM is accessible. Anyway to improve the performance here?

Thanks for you insight and recommendations. - Brian

I noticed the same thing after my Bionic upgraded to JB. If there's a way to adjust the volume or turn the sound off, I haven't run across it. I only reboot my phone about once a week, so it's not that big of an issue for me (YMMV).

I've noticed one of my widgets is slow to load after a reboot, but a 30-second or so delay for the once a week or so that I reboot the phone again isn't that big a deal for me. A system cache clear might improve the performance, but it's not guaranteed.

Thanks tikibar1 for your observations and comments. Will try to clear the system cache and see what happens.
