Ok new wrinkle. Ics automatically downloaded and I tried to install it tonight. It rebooted a couple of times and it booted back into gingerbread. Then it said software update failed. I saw a splash screen for an old version of safestrap which I was sure I had uninstalled. Temp unrooted with voodoo earlier. How do I completely uninstall safestrap? Help.

When I updated, I didn't have any phone or data for about 30 minutes. I did a lot of powering the phone down and then back up as well as a wiping of the cache.

I'm having issues too. ICS really slowed up my bionic and big, big battery appetite. Everyone says to follow a factory reset. But you need a day off to get this phone back to where you want it. I think, as much as I live moto phones, I'm going with the galaxy note 2 as soon as Verizon gets it.

I upgraded using hob and now can't get safestrap to run. It installs but fails and closes.

I tried every version I could find a, d nothing.

Do I need/have to factory reset?

Have you wiped cache or do a factory data reset?

How long did it take to update the media database during the install? Mine has been updating the media database for 30 minutes or better. Is this normal. I have 12 gig of music and pretty good number of pictures and video I took.

It could take up to 10 hours...

I've had ics since Monday. Complained right away and came under a little criticism. Here it is Thursday, and same issues. Biggest problem is the battery drain. I've got the big extended battery. Over 2500 milliamp, and I've got to charge it every 5–6 hours of light usage. Never had that happen before. Also, phone us much slower, and does crazy things. Same thing happened when I went from froyo to gingerbread on my DROID X. I think moto phones are not made for upgrading. Anyway I'm way overdue for an upgrade and was going to get the droid razr maxx hd. But, after all these problems, I'm going for the galaxy note 2. It'll have jelly bean right out of the box and samsung phones don't have the upgrade issues moto does. One thing I didn't do was a factory reset. If you've got to do that when you get an upgrade, you should have a choice as to whether or not you want the upgrade.

Received my ICS update last night while on the dock. Haven't had long enough to have problems, but wanted those out there who haven't gotten theirs yet toknow it is still distributing. I got my Bionic the day they were released from Verizon store.
