Download the ICS leak or wait for OTA

[cdm369]

I also downloaded the leak...and now my battery life is horrible?! anyone else?? it was fine with GB.....sigh....everything else is great tho...help

Also give it a few proper charge and discharge cycles. Mine got a lot better after 3 days or so.

I am too stupid to root but following the instructions in the other thread was able to download the leak no problem. Make sure you back up first (I used Go backup) and when it is back I just reinstalled everything that way.

Yesterday I installed the latest leak #4 One install was enough. Even the latest versions of superuser will not work. Had to install SuperSU zip file via Ramon RA recovery to root. Superuser and SuperSU are totally different and incompatible, though they are made to do the same thing.

On my Droid X, when I install a Rom, Google play store automatically reinstalls all my apps. This did not happen with the rezound ics leak which made for a lot of extra setup work.

If I want to go back to GB, I am s-off and can rru to gb and then restore my latest nandroid backup with Ramon RA recovery.

Everything seems to work ok thus far.

I just got tired of waiting for the OTA.

p.s. The WiFi teather program works with the leak. I had to play with the settings a bit, and then it worked providing WiFi internet to my laptop.

Well after perusing the replys i think I might just wait. I am not interested in rooting and dont want to lose the ability to update in the future. I have been very dissapointed in the way my phone has been acting lately. lots of force closes and reboots, the battery life is horrible compared to when I first got it. I feel like I am using my POS droid x again. Having come from a great experieince with my incredible I can say i am not as impressed witht he rezound.

I am going to try an factory reset and leave all my apps off and see if anything improves. If not maybe I got a lemon.

john,

you mat want to try this free app too see if you have an out of control application on your phone.

Whenever I notice a sudden change I usually have found it to be a recent update to an app. The most notable in my experience have been Handcent and Ultra Keyboard. They have both given me fits in the past after an update and an uninstall, reinstall of them was the solution.
Also over the last couple of weeks my signal was weaker, causing my phone to use more battery grabbing and holding a cdma signal. whatever the problem was stopped on Sunday, back to craptacular reception instead of worse.

Same here. The instructions were perfect for me. It installed in one shot. I'm an Android newbie but I was getting pumped for ICS. When I got the Rezound it was supposedly going to be released within days. I wish I knew about the go Backup program. I thought I was in the clear by doing a Windows copy and paste of the internal drive but I still had to reinstall all my apps and I got my contacts back with HTC Sync.

The new folders are fun to create and name. We have an extra couple apps on a each page now. Overall it's not much of a difference. I think the text is sharper. It's also fun to use Google Chrome and have all of my Desktop Chrome bookmarks synced with it.

Here's one other observation, my dad always uses the Opera browser from his PC to send me a link to a website. With ICS, the links are not clickable on my Mail app. They are clickable on the Gmail app though.

I did get a prompt in one of my first couple boots after the install that this device needs a SIM card to operate. It was only once though. I also believe that 4G drops more now. I've seen it first hand as my wife has the HTC Rezound also but hasn't upgraded. Mine lost 4G and her's didn't. Granted that was only one time and a reboot got it back for me.

I updated mine and I like it-- but my camera doesn't open. Any suggestions?

I finally bit the bullet(and was able to get the update to download)....... and it works great! It was actually pretty easy, quick and painless!

I've decided I'll wait until the end of the month, and if still no OTA, then I'll be wanting an ICS to beat the heat.

Hi everyone,
I am new here. I was tired of waiting for Verizon to send out the ICS update and saw this thread. I was hoping it would be rid of the bloatware, but I guess that's what rooting is for. Anyway, I followed the instructions and everything is working great so far except for my signal strength. I had no problems whatsoever before the update and now its absolutely terrible. I used to get 3 or 4 bars and now it's 1 or 2. Is this normal or is there something I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance.
