I had an issue when I updated to ICS. I wasn’t receiving 4G after the update. My battery was draining faster than my Thunderbolt because it was stuck on 3G looking for a 4G signal. Tried to restore to default and nothing changed, tech support couldn’t figure out what the issue was either. They ended up sending me a new one. Works like a charm, battery life is just the same if not better. If you’re having issues, I would call and request a new phone. They should give you one with out any hassle.

I have had no problems with the upgrade and battery life is the same for me. No way would I go back to Gingerbread.

Same here, battery life has been cut in half, auto complete in email and text function quit working…I do like the updated touch keyboard.

I’ve seen none of the problems described. One warning I saw on many web sites was to do the upgrade only after factory resetting the phone. So that’s what I did. Wiped the phone. Restarted. Then the only thing I did before starting the upgrade was enter my google ID but I did not restore data. Did the upgrade. Let the phone reboot then factory reset again. Then I went through a normal set up including restoring apps, contacts, setting up email, etc. As near as I can tell I’m getting exactly the same battery life as before and absolutely no app problems (also as before). The only difference I noticed is that there is a little less free memory. I think the memory manager is playing it a little closer on ICS than 2.3.

Don’t download until the bugs are fixed. No task manager and battery drains fast.

ICS has cancelled out my Razr Maxx’s battery advantage. I now have about the same number of hours talk/usage time that I had with my original Droid. And the icons in the notification bar are now too small and dim — they’re nearly invisible, and there’s no way to adjust size or brightness. A fancy UI is worthless if you have to sacrifice basic functions.
