Official I've got ICS installed thread..

Got it this morning. It kills Launcher Pro so I can't use the Facebook, Bookmark, or Calendar widgets that I'm used to. There doesn't seem to be multiple dock support so I'm limited to 4 apps shortcut plus the app drawer. I haven't found a way to edit icon text either. Finally, I don't see a news feed in the app drawer. After 6 hours of playing I'm just now getting it set the way I want it. Haven't played with it a lot yet but my first impression is that there are some neat little things that have disappeared and no new ones that blow me away. I expect to see a lot of minor updates in short order.
 
I signed up for the soak test and still did not get it. Guess I wasn't selected. I feel like the other folks. I will probably be last to get it. Lol
 
It sucks clicking check for update and having your phone say "your up to day". Its like no your really not Lol
 
OK...10pm here in MN...no updates yet. Is it by state? Area code? How do they determine who gets it first and when?

There are other launchers in the market that do work with ICS (Apex and Nova come to mind). There are also widgets that match what Launcher pro/sense has (APW widgets).

ICS opens a lot of doors, but does close a few until developers step things up.
 
4:12 on the battery and it's at 50%. Looked but don't see any odd apps or processes running so not sure what's eating the battery so fast. Not a good sign though.
 
I got it but I'm not a fan of the txt messaging app. Anybody have a good messaging app? Not a fan of handcent either

No idea how they update or in what order but VZWsupport tweeted in a response to someone asking about it earlier today that it will take 2-3 weeks to reach everyone.

Oh someone could just post it and everyone could install it, rooted or not. That's how I always got my updates first on my droid x
 
Just had my first forced reboot on it while using Tapatalk to view the forum. Never had one before now. Was reset after the install, so it should be clean from the GB upgrade.

Did you sign up for any soak test or register your phone at Motorola?

This sucks... I didn't sign up for the soak test and I just tried registering my phone on the mototola site only to have it tell me that they couldn't find my serial number in their database! I went to settings-about phone-status-IMEI like they said but nope! WTF?
 
Unless I missed it, I don't believe I saw the question brought up about the data connectivity.

For those that have received the ICS update already, have you noticed an improvement with the data connectivity? Were you experiencing it before ICS? I've noticed that it has gotten a tiny bit better since June 21 (when Verizon flipped the switch on a bunch of new/expanded networks), but driving around with the phone in the car dock and the map on, I still notice the little blue warning come up on the screen stating "maps cannot update due to lack of data connection" every once in awhile. The area I live and travel in are all very heavily blanketed in 4G LTE, so I know that coverage isn't an issue.

Just curious to see if ICS does, in fact, fix this issue. I'm a little worried because in Verizon's software update release on their site, it doesn't state "LTE Connectivity improvements" like I've seen on other phone's software updates.

Good question. I'll post my findings tomorrow from work, where I get most of my data drops.

Here at home I've had none. I went out last night and had no drops either, and had recently had issues. Only recently though, and now none.

Launcher pro should still work with ics, it just wasn't based on stock ics...I can still use lp on the nexus.

Looking at my screen capture from yesterday I think that was my problem. I was inside a casino that's off the beaten path just a bit. Screen cap shows 3G...

What widget is that clock? Beautiful Widgets? And if it is BW which clock did you download?
