Ics soak test has begun!!!!!!!!

[TechnologicallyChallenged]

If they don't start the soak test this coming week I'm going to load a leaked version. I can't deal with this spotty data that I'm paying for every month. If ICS doesn't fix the issue, I'll be at the Verizon store every day until they give me a different phone. Verizon is one of the most expensive networks out there and I don't pay good money for such shoddy service.

I want to get an invite but no luck so far... is there a way or is it random?

Today, something interesting happened. I left the house with 100% battery, and even checked it when I got to my destination. I was going to be outside the whole time, so I turned off the wifi, the data, the GPS, and the syncing. I also used a task manager to quickly kill all the background apps while I was outside, just a one-click end process. 4 Hours later, I check my phone and its at 40% battery. I checked what's been taking up the battery, and the Android OS has taken up 80% of the battery. Very strange.

the actual schedule was invites out this week (12th), soak pushes next wee (19th)k, ota the week after (26th). most of the people I know that got invites are already on 247 LOL

Using one-click task killers can use up quite a bit of battery. Background apps don't really use battery life, which is why Android keeps them in the memory. When you one-click, Android loads them back into memory, which is what uses a lot of battery life.

If they don't push ICS soon, I'm going to have to look into loading a leaked version. My data has become nearly unusable. 80% of the time my phone will show connectivity, but as soon as I open anything requiring a data connection, it drops.

Me too!

Task killers and several other things that people tend to load up on their GB and ICS phones are throwbacks to eclair and froyo that cause a lot more harm than good in the long run.

If you didn't get one you didn't get one and other than that it's too late to worry about now, I'm not even sure if mine is going to work because I'm not sure if the ESN i used is the esn on my moto forums acct (I have 2 bionics, wife's on 905 with cheesecake, and mine on 247 ), other than that... fight club.....sorry :-/

great news!!!

Glad to hear! To busy to soak test this time around, but am anxious to get It! Got a new Asus Infinity tablet two days ago, love ICS!

Wait, why are so many people vowing to load a leaked version "if they don't push the OTA soon"? With this being first real evidence that ICS is right around the corner, you're going to get impatient NOW and do the leak? Anyone else confused?

HAS THE SOAK TEST STARTED YET? ANYONE HAVE IT? I was a soak tester for moto a couple of updates ago. But didn't get chosen this time. Let's hear how it's going.
