Help OTA 4.0.4 update. (caution s-off/root user. Ringtone issue)

I haven't downloaded the update, but if we are following the same track as the ATT One X;
This update should give the option to be rid of the black menu bar (Settings -> Display & gestures -> Buttons)?

There might also be some UI changes to the internet browser (tab button relocated to the address bar)?

And the slight possibility of the return of the 'Quick Settings' tab in the notification pull down. Still unclear if that was ever official or maybe will be back with the next update.

Hopefully someone that updates can confirm.
It is labeled MR2 (Maintenance release? so we may not have received all the same One X enhancements yet)

Updated this morning. Nothing about "Buttons" in 'Display & Gestures' and no "Quick Settings Tab" in the notification pulldown.
 
I haven't tried it yet, it appears they added a fix for youtube. If you go into App Association, you know have an YouTube options.

I know I was having an issue, where if someone sent an YouTube link in a email or I click on a link in chrome, my device would open YouTube in the browser window, not the application.
 
There is a settings icon in my pull down.

The Tab setting is on right of address bar.


Yes it is there and there is a choice now for youtube open with.
 
What would happen if a rooted user applies this update? I'm rooted but have been struggling with issues since the last OTA (applied before I rooted) and I'm anxious to try and get some issues fixed.
 
Something else I have noticed, a problem I had anyways, I was no able to get Active Exchange to work. It always had a problem syncing so I had to use POP3 for a while. Active Exchange now works :)
 
Holy moly. Multitasking has finally been fixed.

I was having a terrible time with Sense continually killing my apps. It was getting to the point yesterday where I couldn't play music on my N7 player while browsing the net with Chrome at the same time, because Sense kept killing the N7 player in the background.

I just did quick tests of multitasking, and everything seems to work as it should. Before, any time I'd go back to Chrome, it would reload the entire page. Now, it just picks up right where I left off. Thank goodness.

I was thinking of switching over to an SGSIII because of this issue, but glad to see it's been fixed.
 
Multitasking appears to be pretty much the same as before, at least as far as I can tell..... Dissapointment.... Just tried toggling between browser and game, browser didn't reload but the game did

**** I take that back, browser does reload, just didnt reload while I was in the midst of posting

**** Well maybe not so much of a disappointment, if the game is paused (ME) it will return to the paused point without reloading, that is over a period of a few seconds. I'm not sure how it will be over a longer period, and not sure if it functioned this way before.

**** It didnt hold ME in memory for more than 15min before it reloaded, but at least that allows for brief interuptions without losing progress, again not sure if the multitasking functioned this way before or not.

Not sure exactly how long it holds now, but before Chrome reloaded every single time for me. Even if I just go to the home screen to hit my WiFi widget and go back. It was frustrating.

Today I noticed Chrome not having to reload after leaving it for five minutes or so. Huge improvement in my book.

Games don't stay in cache too long in my experience with my Jelly Bean Nexus 7. 15 minutes is definitely pushing it.

Glad to see that Sense isn't quite as aggressive in closing apps.
 
Ahhh already found a bug with Sense 4.1..

If you go to settings and start scrolling down, as soon as you hit the edge, the separation animation isn't smooth at all..it sort of just explodes into the separated animation. If you don't take your thumb off and start to scroll back up, it will start collapsing smoothly, and as soon as they all touch, it will jump back up a few inches...annoying

Can anyone else confirm that their phone is doing this?
