I want to thank all the forum posters who gave invaluable advice and how-to's for rebooting RAZRs to maximize function after Motorola force-fed us the semi-Ice Cream Sandwich platform. Thank you! Rebooting has restored functionality! But....and actually this is going to sound a bit whiney...Gingerbread's "Shortcuts" are no longer available. Wah-h-h-h. "Shortcuts" actually contained a nice little weather app/mini-banner that stayed on the homescreen, keeping me informed. There is no weather widget now. I tried the free ACCUWeather app, but it's like everything in the world changed with ICS. Actually, when I was making my decision between RAZR and Galaxy, one of the aspects I was nervous about were the reviews that posited Gingerbread to be somehow inferior to ICS. But hands down, I bought the RAZR after seeing a side-by-side demonstration. And guess what, I LOVED Gingerbread. My RAZR's 8mp photos knocked my husband's I-phone 4-GS out of the park! But that was pre-ICS. Last month. Now my RAZR photos look like they were taken with an LG-ENV. Pictures are all fuzzy now. And smaller. In fact the entire screen (including text size) looks like it shrank. And I REALLY I dislike the black Google browsing skin. Oh, and the ability to view all four home screens at once is gone. Funny, that wasn't so much of a big deal until it was gone. And I can barely read the spelling aids in texting mode...WHO THOUGHT COMPOSING TEXTS IN dark blue on BLACK WAS A GOOD IDEA??? But I digress. I simply can't think of anything GOOD to say about Ice Cream Sandwich. But to the point--is there a small weather banner/app, or something comparable out there that is compatible for use with this new (horrible) hybrid environs that can just sit on (each of my) my home pages showing weather, time and temp without acting like a giant ad conduit? Looking forward to your responses.
