Is anybody NOT having issues with the JB update?

[jmt9779]

I just updated to JB this morning. So far, everything seems to be okay. (*knocks on wood*) I'm curious what number of people are having varying levels of issues with the update.

(I know the FDR will cure many ails of the update, but I'm trying to hold off on dealing with that for the moment.)

Close to 100% of users will end up doing a Factory Data Reset. It is not a question of if but a question of when.

I did a FDR directly after my update,took me about 2 hrs to get my phone completely set back up,and its running like a champ!

 

[Grey1001]

Did an FDR right after I updated, no problems so far.

Not a one issue. No FDR. And I'm a heavy user. I'd for sure find an issue.

I find this very hard to believe.

After the update I was a little slow, did an FDR and I am fine.

I have really have only 1 issue, however I my phone wast updated, and that is with the phone dialer. I hope I can put in words what I'm trying to convey. Prior to the update on an incoming call all I had to do was press answer highlighted in red to receive the call. Now I have that round circle and have to press the phone icon twice, once to unlock and a second time to start taling. Called Verizon, they had no answer to help me, also said a FDR would do me no good, which I'm hesitant to do anyway, unsure of how to back up everything.

No issues when I updated. I did a reset anyway. It's still fine.

The issue I have is that I can no longer tether to my computer for an internet connection. When I try to tether I get the message that I must upgrade to a mobile hotspot connection and pay Verizon an extra 30 dollars a month. I have yet to find an app that will fix this problem as Verizon has evidently blocked this capability in all the existing add apps in the market. if anyone knows of an updated app please let everyone know.

I have no issues. I didn't even wait to do a factory reset, it should be automatic just so you know you're starting 'clean'. I'm not using the JB launcher, but prefer the Atom launcher.

 

[cwagmire]

No issues, but I did FDR right after I updated. JB is much smoother than ICS IMO.

 

[queenrocks77]

No big issues

 

[razrclive]

This comment is nonsensical!

In what way?
As many issues are often fixed when do an FDR.
It likely that those with issue will be doing the FDR if they want their issue resolved. As there is no easy way to go back to ICS.

 

[razrclive]

Would be nice if it was possible to do an image backup of the whole phone as can in windows. Then if JB fails can just restore to earlier backup.
If it is possible does anyone know how?

 

[PhilReeves]

No issues. No FDR

what does one lose with a fdr. do i have re set up my gmail, email, contacts, favorites, re install all sw apps, etc?

Everything except what is on the SD card. It is a full data wipe. Takes you back to like it was the minute it came out the box. You will have to redo your email, if your contacts are gmail they will be synced when you enter that account. Apps will be gone and all their settings, same with games and progress.

I have had no issues. I've run into a few minor software annoyances--Audio effects turned themselves back on, and I can no longer select an MP3 for my alarm as easily--but overall performance is on par with ICS or better and battery life has not been impacted at all. For the moment, I see absolutely no reason to factory reset.

I suspect that most reported issues are due to user error.

 

[CptTom]

My issues are only what has been changed. I liked the sticky note widget so I found one not as nice but it works. Incoming calls now have that stupid unlock(why this was changed I have no idea). Dock app has changed a bit but is ok. Acoustics protection is stupid, what a feel good app! Phone is just as smooth as it was before, TG!

Totally disagree with this comment!

 

[puchodog1977]

Sure its not a slide unlock?

 

[RandolphNY]

Other than doing the Factory Reset, I have had no issues. In fact, I am enjoying the speed.

And trust me and others, The Factory Reset is worth it. It's amazing how much garbage is on the phone. Yes, it is timely, but well worth the effort.

Regarding Battery, for me it's about the same. I wish it was better, but I guess, I will have to charge mid day and make sure I have a full charge when I know I will be away from charging sources.

My biggest issue is that the sleep mode is gone!
