Hey all, I have had my Razr Maxx for about 6 months now, and its been pretty much a great phone so far for what I use it for. I am still running Gingerbread on it (probably one of the few people out there), whenever I get the 24 hour reminder to install the ICS I always click install later
. The only complaints I have is that using the Google maps navigation takes forever to locate GPS, literally takes 5 minutes to lock on the GPS, and the keyboard acts goofy at times. I have read here and there since ICS was introduced for the Razr and Razr Maxx where peope experienced poor battery life and random problems after installing it, and that why I have always postponed installing it myself. The long battery life was one of the reasons I chose this phone to begin with.
Anyways, I am getting kind of tired of always being reminded of the update and figured I probably will need to update sooner or later anyways. To take adavatage of some apps, I have seen that 4.0 is a reguirement. Has the GPS improved with the ICS update for the Razr and Razr Maxx?
I know that with ICS, supposedly flash is not supported. I do watch Youtube vids on my phone, will this affect playback for me? Or is there a workaround or fix that needs to be done?
Is there any reason I should stay with Gingerbread (any of you all have regrets after going to ICS)? What is the best way to ensure that the upgrade to ICS goes as smoothy as possible? I have read about deleting the data cache, is this something that needs to be done and after the update? Thanks for the help
