I updated my Galaxy S2 two nights ago. What a mistake! Despite some of the new and improved features, the system freezes constantly. Most of my bought apps and games don't work anymore! On the previous version, I managed to tweak all the settings to get 2 days of regular use out of my battery. I am already on 7% at 13H00 on the first day.
I have used it for a few days now and noticed that the OS now uses 58% of my battery apposed to the previous 30 something %. My battery barely lasts 'til 15H00 from the morning's full charge. The freezing and unresponsive apps are driving me nuts. The previous version worked so well. v4.0.3 is an abomination!
Does anyone from Google actually read these forums?
I would also like to know how to roll back to the previous version. Alternatively, fix this shocking release Google!
Please Read The Following:
This is specific to my battery issue.
ICS v4.0.3 comes with a new feature called "Data usage". When you switch on "Use packet data" under "Mobile networks", Data usage automatically switches on and starts recording the amount of data your phone uses. This is useful for ensuring that you do not exceed the data cap on your account (If you have one).
Because Honeycomb v3.2 did not offer this feature, I ran an app called Onavo Count, which performs this function very well.
After updating my device, both Data usage and Onavo Count were running at the same time and draining my battery very quickly.
After uninstalling Onavo Count and managing data usage with the OS feature, my battery is performing a whole lot better.
I hope this helps people with the same problem!
