Glad to hear it. I'm not sure I've encountered any problems yet. But I'm wondering if I should preemptively reset the thing.

Did you find the loss of settings to be annoying? If so, what was the biggest hassle.

I have a Driod 4 and was perfectly happy with GB until the ICS upgrade happened without warning that it was a complete and untested

My only complaint is they took away the folders and the cognitive txting where it remembers what i txt and offers it as an option. Does anybody know how to get to the developers to try to get them to fix this?

Texting is oddball for me as well.

1. When I enter a recipient, once in a while it drops in the phone number, NOT the name. If I delete it, it and try again, it drops in the name.
2. ONCE I ENTER IN THE NAME, I want a quick way to start typing in the message field. None of these buttons work with a single keystroke:
   • Down Arrow
   • OK
   • Return
   • Screaming at it with harsh language

Any ideas?

Now the phone is almost worthless to the point that it will shortly go into the toilet[...]

Trust me, I understand the venting hyperbole. However just as a semi-calming suggestion: if you get absolutely NOwhere with Motorola with this bull@#$%, and are totally without hope other than small claims court, BEFORE you envoke the toilet clause consider rooting the phone down to the real honest and goodness thing.

Again, this is only after absolutely everything is already exhausted as a solution and you're about to trebuchet the thing into the local swamp anyway.

This is pretty much why I rooted my Droid X it was destroyed once gingerbread took over.. We shouldn't be forced to have to root lol.. All in all the phone runs pretty solid for me but does have poor battery life.. Especially when shooting a lot of video and pictures.. Since I have done a good wipe through the recovery.. And then a factory reset it seems to be running good..

My Droid 4 shows Android version as 4.0.4. Is this gingerbread or ICS?
What is the difference for me as a user.

Here's a light coverage of what you're probably looking for. It includes a history lesson of the Android rev. to Name mapping.
