Leak .242?

Holy smokes. I like this version of ICS! I have the Motorola extended battery. I talked for 24 minutes with wifi, GPS, and bluetooth on and when I hung up the phone my battery still shows 100% even though I have a 1% widget! Earlier I talked for 42 minutes and with everything on my battery only went down to 97%. Plus my phone is one of those lucky ones that goes to 1.2Ghz.

This is amazing stuff!

Couldn't agree more...

SamuriHL Everywhere!

SamuriHL is pretty amazing.. Just about everywhere I've looked to get info on the ICS update I've seen his posts. As pervasive as he has been I wouldn't not be shocked to see him posting in my sock drawer. Regardless I more/less consider him the single best source of information about ICS on the Bionic that has been willing to post anything publicly.

The fact he has been so patient and not utterly blown his stack at some posters leads me to believe he might be canonization material.

Anyway.. hoping this week or next.. I've signed up as a soak tester but this wait is just killing me! I have been sorely tempted to go to the leaks.
 
Oh, I have blown my stack plenty. Definitely not a saint. :) And I wouldn't consider myself any kind of expert, either. I just take the time to learn all I can. And have *PLENTY* more to learn. I just try to share what I can as *MANY MANY MANY* have shared with me.
 
I find it unbelievable that someone would pay for a product that is supposed to do something, and then think its OK that it only sometimes works...what are you paying for then?

On a similar note, I believe 4g in my area is reliable and does work the way it was intended, the bionic just is an issue laden phone.

You are EXACTLY why I have my long post on page 34 of this thread. There's no way you can actually back up your opinion of the bionic with fact. Just about anyone trying to discredit 4G or a phone's ability to deal with 4G really only has anecdotal evidence at best. At worst they're trying to sell their opinion as fact in a forum to the poor noobs who can't differentiate opinion from fact.

In my experiences, 4g works as well as it is touted on tv and whatnot

Well, you know what? Based on my experience 4G absolutely sucks AND my phone sucks terribly at using 4G. Its been so long since 4G worked for me that I can't remember the last time I had a 4G signal.

We'll just ignore the fact that that 4G isn't fully setup in my area...it MUST be my phone and that Verizon sucks.

See what I did there? It's just ignorant as well as irresponsible to try and make the claim that a phone is issue laden. I'll ask again.. is the phone the problem or is it one of the 10+ ways I could probably come up with a valid justification for why the Bionic may not perform well, but has nothing to do with the phone itself? Considering that I have yet to see any phone NOT have lots of threads titled "4G keeps dropping" I'm not going to make ANY assumptions. You DO know what happens to people that ASS-U-ME......

Whew! This is getting exciting! Who are you trying to convince, me or yourself?
 
This is a discussion board for droid-related topics. I can tell my story all I want. I've heard of people putting words in my mouth, but when its typed out and sitting there to read, you are really stretching to start accusing me of things.I have never said I think verizon sucks, but even if I did think so and posted it, anyone who reads it can choose to take it for what is is or not. I'm not trying of convince anyone of fact or opinion, just sharing.

I've had 2 different bionics that wouldn't connect to 4g at all. My friend's bionic was just fine and dandy. I took mine into the store to find every other 4g smartphone at verizon had a strong 4g signal, including the display bionic. I now have a new bionic, and it has yet to drop a signal in 2 months. (Here's the important part) I believe it is a bionic issue, and I can certainly think that if I damn well please. Will you again try to say I'm trumpeting my story as fact? I don't know. Can you believe it to be an endless list of a variety of other issues? Sure. Do I care either way? No.

And I'm curious exactly who these lost, impressionable souls are you keep mentioning as noobs or those who cannot comprehend, that seemingly stumble into the forums and take nuggets of gold fact, believing the slightest whim of any poster?
 
Oog.. OK.. I would hate to see this otherwise extremely informative thread deteriorate into a p*ssing match..

It's not just Verizon's network, the phone too has been widely reported to have issues with 4G reception. Some Bionics have had major issues with data dropping. There definitely has been some variance in the manufacturing and ultimately this has done much to tarnish the image of the Bionic (beyond Motorola's poor post-release handing of it).

People are looking forward to ICS for the Bionic not only because it's ICS, but also because people who have been having problems w/their Bionic and the data-drop issue have reported that it finally fixes that. My Bionic has been solid on 905 but if that were not the case you bet I would either not have it anymore or be on one of the leaked builds.

*Just saw previous post above mine..guess I'm slow at typing *


If you never had network issues with a Bionic or most of these early Verizon LTE phones while being in a strong 4G area with any of the pre-ICS builds then you are lucky. It has been an issue with many since day one. It's a crap shoot sometimes ...nobody knows beforehand if your phone / TV / car whatever is going to crap out after any specific timetable. It's just like how some who have flashed ICS are getting OC'D to1.2 while some are staying at 1.0..this whole discussion has gotten way off topic.
