Razr/Razr MAXX I.C.S. Sticky?

[smashogre]

We need a place we can post success / horror stories about I.C.S.
Tips/tricks etc...

Overall I'm pleased. There have been some sticky moments(hah)but for the most part it's pretty smooth.

[Cody21]

The "horror" stories is what this forum is all about ...  It's a place to dump issues you have with any version.

[smashogre]

Thought it'd be easier to have one thread for ICS ya know? Have you gotten it yet?

[Ann154]

I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a sticky thread in this Jive platform.

[smashogre]

IKR?

[smashogre]

Just so you know, it's nice, really nice but there are some issues that will crop up. I'm getting a bit of a performance 'stutter' or hang up at times. The Face Unlock is REALLY cool but slow and not wholly accurate and fails over to the PIN unlock which I'm begining to think I prefer.

[Cody21]

So curious - how did you get ICS ? Was it officially "PUSHED" to your Phone OTA ?

[smashogre]

Razr official

Maxx unofficial

[smartsite]

it was pushed. and i when you try to talk to motorola (verizon says THEY did it) they will just tell you you are stuck with it and then hang up.

I've been checking for the ICS update periodically throughout the day.  No dice yet

Anyone else's Razr MAXX gotten the update?

[smashogre]

Hang in there it's coming...

[gasorphone]

Since it's an ICS I understand it might be sticky - the part that it's (uh oh)

  I am not bothering to check, when it comes, it comes.. I will, however, make sure I check the Motorola site to see when it is released out to the general public. Then I might start trying.

Well N.D.U on I.C.S  i thought Friday Not!  Then Today Not!  Now there Talking Jelly Bean Maybe i will get it Tomorrow Lol b33

Update: this is what i found on the Re-lease from Verizon: This is a part of the Re-Lease Letter.. The Rest is in the Link..

And unless something was changed it says here the Upgrade began on the 22, of June..

The upgrade, which will begin on June 22, will also upgrade all smartphones in the DROID RAZR family to the popular Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

ARE U NUTZ?  ICS for droid razr maxx killed this phone.  i want to throw it away now, it is so bad.  crisp clear graphics have been replaced with typical old motorola fuzziness.  my home wireless went from excellent reception to fair.  the phone doesn't play some videos now, and 4 G is sketchy.  battery life dropped. fonts are harder to read. email system has been compromised... have to keep loading more mail to see my email.  also have to keep touching something that says 'background data unavailable' to clear it.  have to push 3 buttons to end a phone call.    user interface is not as attractive and am stuck with an apps button in the middle i can't get rid of.   just what i need, another apps button, especially phone keeps going to the apps download page on it's own.when the phone keeps going to the apps download page on it's own..   oh, and there's this stupid oscillating button you have to hit to get into your phone every few minutes, then you have to hit another button to get in after that.  what the ???????   and contacts - they took the contacts function out of the calling area of the phone.  i just don't get it.

absolute nightmare new operating system. and the worst part is, they don't give you a choice to upgrade.  do yourself a favor if it's not too late - back up your gingerbread so you can reformat your phone.

4G and 3G toggle doesnt work on the ICS system   Anybody find a good replacement for the now useless 4G switch?

[Ann154]

There is a work around for the 4G/3G switch. There is another thread discussing it.

[smartsite]

demand our gingerbread OS back.

*** Grumble, Grumble ***

Still no ICS update.  My Razr Maxx is still telling me it's up to date - and I know it's not.  I'm tired of Gingerbread
