After a week now I'm still undecided. In some ways it's sharper, snappier, than gingerbread. The face unlock is a gimmick, but things like data usage monitor is excellent. I've noticed an improvement in battery life as well which I wasn't expecting because I'd heard the improvement was only minimal, so I think all in all it's an improvement and it's been well implemented in terms of an updated touch wiz. However, I am finding that some apps have become quite unstable, and since I was quite happy with the last version of touch wiz, I'm still unsure it's worth bothering with.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich?
 

I agree about the apps Andy. Some apps are really poor since ICS has been installed. The Yahoo Mail app is a noteable one. I am running version 1.4.0 which seems to be the latest. It is slow, it has stopped updating emails as they come in - I have to manually check now - and what is with the ads on it?

Overall I am pleased with ICS but some of the applications need to be updated to make them run more smoothly with the new OS.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich?
 

Some of issues are down to the apps not being ICS compatible. For instance the released version of Spotify keeps on crashing and/or not playing the next available track

The beta release is a lot more stable, as it 'fully supports ICS'.

Same for the VM TV Guide App, it needed to add ICS support in to work

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich?
 

ICS has worked fine up to now, the only problem I've had is with Launcher Pro crashing. I use GO Launcher with the Clee 2 theme instead, it looks great and is fast and smooth.

I love the fact that boot up and shut down time is far quicker and when closing down there is the option to restart which wasn't on Gingerbread.

The folders are useful too so I now put my apps in catergories News,Shopping,Weather,Radio apps etc which makes everything more tidy.

Perhaps you could take it to your local Virgin Media store? Our local store have helped my wife out when she has had problems with her Blackberry.

Folders were in Gingerbread ;)

I followed this method a few weeks ago but the file was a bit buggy and kept crashing.

Got bored at the weekend so just rooted it and applied CyanogenMod 9. It's still an alpha build but it is better than the official build in terms of speed and stability. Also it based on Android 4.0.4

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich?
 

I can't sync or stream on 3g or wi-fi on Spotify because it keeps closing down. Is it possible to roll it back to Gingerbread untill Spotify release the update?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich?
 

No need, the new app is available for download already as a preview. Been using for a while and it's really good.
