You guys just have to realize that not every phone company is perfect they all have their pros and cons.
Paul_Aris said:Well to be fair it took a little getting used to and I am still not used to it. It does give the phone a more modern feel. This is the first droid that I have kept stock and so far it has been paying off. I have had less issues and less stability problems with my bionic than any other phone owned. If I do a factory reset what do I loose and have to reset up?
Anyone noticing ics decreasing ur battery rapidly?
czar said:I have not experienced this issue as of yet. I am not a power user by any means, but do surf the net and youtube, FB, etc on breaks. I'm experiencing comparable battery life to Gingerbread. Have you cleared the cache and disabled bluetooth?
To date I am very happy with ICS. My connectivity and responsiveness have increased greatly.

I have noticed the difference and I'm happy that I don't have data drops now but I had to give up battery for it I guess. Batter lasted longer on gb.
czar said:I will say that after an extended use session, my battery seemed to deplete a bit quicker than normal once I was down below 40% available. I also agree with your observation about the data drops.

bionicDman said:Have you done an FDR? I was hesitant to do so, but it made a big difference, as did turning data off where i have access to wi-fi, and turning of wi-fi and data when i don't need it. GPS is battery intensive as well, so turn it of when its not needed. When your screen is off, turn off data. You can do this with smart actions, or your data wi-fi toggles. It only takes a moment to refresh your email etc. when you turn your screen on, and that little moment of delay is not a problem for me. I have also discovered that i have a much, much stronger 4G connection now than i did with GB. Here's my battery life over the weekend:

Admittedly, this was with light use, but i NEVER had this kind of battery life before. Good luck!
I do think that ics made some bionics slower from the complains people keep saying.
