I'm surprised that nobody is bummed about the lack of group messaging support on this version of android...

JellyBean for the LG Spectrum 2!

Group messaging, what's that? Just kidding. You can probably get a 3rd party app for that.
Unfortunately, Jelly Bean has turned into a nightmare for me. Notwithstanding the entire litany of poor design and functionality changes that Google introduced, it now has an issue that makes my phone, as a business device, nearly unusable.
Ever since I updated, I've had problems with the voicemail notification never going away. I get a new VM and the notification comes up and never disappears, even after the voicemail has been deleted. The only way to temporarily fix this is to do a battery pull, pull the SIM card, start up the phone without the SIM card, go into app settings > all > phone and "clear data." Then I have to pull the battery again, reinstall the SIM card, and reboot the phone.
The problem resurfaces every time I receive a new voicemail.
Verizon has said to try a full phone wipe to eliminate this problem. Even after doing that, there's no guarantee it will go away.
So I'm supposed to do a full wipe, reinstall 100 apps, reset all the personalization that took me hours to set up in the first place, re-setup 8 email addresses, reload all my business documents, etc.
I cannot tell you how enraged I am right now. I can't even describe it.

You could use You mail. It's a free visual voice mail in the play store. It has always worked well for me.
Or you can download the full rom as a CAB file shown below and do a fresh install.

On the battery thing it seems better to me. I was using a Rom modifying app before and it greatly improved the stand by time. The JB update seems to be on par.

So what does everyone think the Candy Cane is? Snapped this from a Nexus. Have not been able to replicate it on the Nexus or any other device.

Ever since Gingerbread you find this Easter egg "hidden feature" on almost any android. This is the Jelly Bean one. But there was a random candy cane floating in there. Some people have seen it. You go to settings, about phone at bottom, find where is says android version, then tap it until something pops up. For ICS and JB if you slide your finger up on the picture they do something extra
