The problems really are minor.any ideas when the problems will be fixed and how will we be notified?
I'd say watch this thread (thats what i'm doing) for updates.

Ok, I was able to get google music, and maps from the market. I just expected that they would be included in the gapps package. Meh
So far so good, just that annoying cell data loss issue. It doesn't happen every time, but it seems to happen when I get or place a call. My non wifi data doesn't pick back up like it should.

They left Gmaps & Music out of the Gapps zip.
This was done on purpose, as both those are considered optional at this point, and more people wanted the flexibility to use other programs. I'm using VLC beta, and loving it, though I might switch to Music once Google gets their cloud offerings up and running. Right now drop box works for me, although I would have loved to see how Moto cast would have done with streaming. I never got it to work on my computer for whatever reason.
Oh well, on to bigger and better things.
Love the ROM so far! ICS is a dream...however, I'm running into so major issues with signal coverage that are going to keep me from using it full time. Every time I reboot the phone, it has trouble locking on to a cell signal. Watching the meter, it keeps bouncing around saying I have no coverage to full coverage to even saying that I'm roaming. After searching for 5-10 minutes, it finally connects and gives me 4G.
I tried the mentioned workaround of toggling between GSM and CDMA/LTE. Oftentimes when I try that, it keeps kicking back to GSM when I selected CDMA/LTE.
Another issue I noticed is that when dialing *228, there's no way to press 1 or 2 to select the activation or update your roaming preferences. There's no soft # pad, and if you try and use the keyboard to press 1 or 2, it doesn't do anything.
It does work without an SD card, but that's pretty dangerous. The reason being, is you have a much higher chance of wiping your files on your internal SD card, than on your external SD card.
There's only 1 way to wipe the external SD card, and that's to select "wipe SD card".
Your internal memory, if you wipe your /system or your /emmc or any other file system, you could end up corrupting your internal card, and causing issues later on.
To be honest, I haven't seen full confirmation that this will work without the ext-SD file system, but Hash stated that theoretically it should still work. I just wouldn't trust not having a back up on the ext-SD file system.
I assume when ICS does come out, we would have to wipe CM9 and flash our GB backup to accept the update?
I'd say yes, but.... Why would you want to?
Man I wanna flash this so bad, but I'm waiting for a camera fix mainly (use my cam a lot) and waiting till these data connectivity problems get ironed out. Until then... shucks.
