New ota update didnt change much

[Jungle King 76]

One thing that reallllllly bugs mE and still continues to bug me is they changed the settings button location. At home screen when you press the menu button the little menu pops up with settings being on the right. But after the update they moved setting on the left side. So every time i go for settings I hit search instead. It will take some I'm to get use too. I also wanted them to redo the power widget that come with the phone. I wish they would allow it to be customized. So I use a third party widget. Also in the settings menu they changed the color of the icons and some of the logos. I liked it when it was one solid color. Now the settings menu looks a little tacky but that's my opinion.

Yes but, the setting button was on the left in 744. Then it moved to the right in 748, and now back to the left in 173. At least I am almost 100% sure that it was on the left originally.

Can't say I care for the new text message icon.

im digging the color also, but i feel like they jacked it from the windows phones. my friend has a windows phone and his text icon is identical same color, only difference is the windows one had a nose and the droid is . i liked the notification of the old one. the little envelope, but the new one is the smiley face. i like the envelope better.

I will say the overall performance of the phone has been drastically improved. When this phone and the Nexus were being talked and written about I have to say I was really leaning towards the Nexus but went with the razr because it "sounded" more promising, and to say the least I was a little disappointed in the performance. Now here I am sitting in the cat birds seat because I really think the phone is what it was meant to be all along. The battery life, 4g and hot spot performance alone is enough to make even a hard core tech person blush.

The main benefit to Motorola and Verizon is that this update got me to buy a Razr Maxx. (Was waiting for the wifi hotspot fix.) Did some tests, and 4G is slightly faster than WiFi. Nice. (Guess I need to check out why my wifi is so slow.)

I didn't see it mentioned, but there was a tweek to the clock display when connected to the dock. I haven't connected up to my tv yet, but I am hoping to see some changes that make the transition from phone to TV a bit more intuitive. So far I'm loving the changes... and this thread has been great at uncovering the changes.

Facebook has been slowing down for the past month, way before the update.

Strangely though, it went away yesterday.

Before the update I could only get 4g in one spot in my house, and it was only a few bars, now I have not left 4g all day and the bars are full.

I don't see it mentioned here, but I noticed that when I receive a Text Message while using the Car Dock, there is a very prominent button with an option to listen to the message.
