Hi all,
I finally updated my Droid X to a Razr Maxx a couple weeks ago. I've been reading some of the posts here relating to ICS and wanted to get some feedback on whether it was worth updating to. There have been some posts that talk about problems some have had but it seems that most are pretty happy with it. I just checked and the .211 update is available for me (currently on .181) but I've hit the "later" button to put off the update for 24 hours.
One thing in particular: Doing the factory reset if there are lag problems after the update -- I understand this doesn't affect the SD card but does this wipe out all the apps I've loaded into the phone meaning I'll have to reload them? Is there a good [free] utility that I can use for saving the apps/data and then reloading them easily after the update and reset? I just don't want to make a mistake that will leave me with a lag-free phone that has lost all the great apps I find so useful. Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I didn't happen across it in my initial search
. Just point me in the right direction if that's the case...
BTW, I got to keep my grandfathered unlimited data and pay the subsidized price for the Maxx, which were the kickers in my decision to upgrade - loving the LTE speeds when I'm in areas that have it. I've also noticed that the wifi seems to work MUCH better than my DX did, D/L speeds are about doubled <cool!>
Overall, I'm very glad I updated to the Maxx so far...
