Have you done factory reset I know it sucks but my DROIDX had alot of issues when I got GB update and reset fixed alot of it. Also some handsets take updates different yours might need to be replaced if they continue but I would try reset 1st cause if you get replacement chances are it will be a preowned phone and those have more issues then not it took my wife 4 replacements to get one to work right.

Yup, do a factory reset. If that doesn't help then SBF ICS. It's obviously a software problem since you didn't have any problems on GB, so factory reset and/or SBF should clear up the problems.

I had ICS downloaded and installed within 45 minutes. Since then, I don't have a problem with ICS on Droid 4. Battery life is better. Apps loading/running better too. In fact, the phone used to overheat on gingerbread (2.3.X) and now it doesn't. I'm liking the ICS version a lot.

PS- I have not rooted or made changes to the phone.

Do you have set CPU or some other CPU program controlling the clock speed?

2 things that I have noticed.

1) The Ram Usage of ICS is significantly higher than gingerbread was. Meaning it takes fewer apps running in the background to bog down the system. I have installed an app called ram booster that automatically kills the unneeded background tasks as needed when system memory say has anything less than 150MB free. that has kept my Droid 4 from locking up while the screen is on.

2) I have noticed that my phone would freeze alot when the screen was turned off. I was running set cpu and would clock the CPU down to 300 Mhz (hotplug governor). With gingerbread this was never an issue. But im finding that with set cpu at 300 when the screen is off the phone will not wake back up. So I changed the governor to ondemand and the Mhz to 800. So far it hasnt frozen asleep since. That was about 2 days ago.

So id say if you have a cpu clocking app installed try to play around with the screen off profile settings.
Hope this helps some.

I have SetCPU using Hotplug with 300 min and have never had a problem with it. I'm also undervolted too.

correction

I have SetCPU using Hotplug with 300 min and have never had a problem with it. I'm also undervolted too.

I forgot to mention that I was running 300 min 300 Max. I am now running 300 min 600 Max. And again I went from hot plug to on demand. Like I said so far so good for me. Fingers crossed. No more freezing/ screen won't turn on.

Have any of you noticed that when you open a new text message (pressing the plus button on top right on stock messaging app) and there is a blank field to put the desired contact name to text the virtual keyboard doesnt come up you have to click it manually unlike in GB it would come up automatically. This is very frustrating. Any ideas or somthing in the setting that might prevent it from opening automatically. Thanks

I downloaded a battery saver app and a cache cleaner and I'm having better battery life and not as bad temp problems nor is it laggy anymore

What apps did you use?

I don't know what dhaynes use. I use Battery Defender and GO Task Manager EX.

If you're rooted, freeze the DRM Protected Storage service. That was the culprit on mine.

What app are you using to Freeze ? I used to have one on my old D1, and I thought Titanium had the ability to freeze apps but I cant seem to find a good one.
