ICS complaints/deal breakers.

Honestly...I wouldnt even ask anyone else to verify anything. Flash tests at Adobe.com works for me....embedded videos at like at Yahoo Sports dont.

I have a feeling that Flash tests is for like animation or ads. Kongregate seems to work fine too.

So I'm guessing this is the end of an era till every site switches to HTML 5.

This is how i got flash working :
Uninstall flash
Reboot
Reinstall flash
Install adobe air
Reboot
Profit

Mine works in the stock browser. Also noteworthy is i did a hard wipe of data and cache after upgrading.

Can you load either of these two sites?

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - Friday, June 29, 2012 - Video - NBC.com

The Big Bang Theory Video - The Werewolf Transformation - CBS.com

I can load the advertisements but when the actual video goes to play it freezes and no go for the video. I have found this to be the case with all embedded videos on either browser. Stock browser wont even load the advertisements and dolphin freezes just after. Heres what i did and please help me out if i did somethin wrong.

1. uninstalled flash and air
2. reboot
3. wiped cache from system restore menu
4. installed flash and air
5. reboot

And nothing.
Advise?

I have no problems playing these videos in the stock browser-movie player. At least after the cache wipe and the reinstalls as suggested above.

Then I must be missing something. This is the exact order I just redid.
1. Uninstall adobe & air
2. Reboot
3. Reinstall adobe & air
4. Reboot
5. Wipe cache
6. Rebooted from there

And still no go on above mentioned videos. On steps #2 & 4 I rebooted. By method of power and volume down key. Was this not the way u referring to reboot? Also I have tried from stock and the dolphin browser.

None of that works for me, oh well, tried them all, nothing, thanks adobe/ics/moto .....whatever....

Didn't work for me either! Oh well! Lame!

...or put GB back on.

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere - I haven't seen it explained anywhere. How easy is it to revert back to GB once the ICS update has been loaded? I have the notification on my phone to install the update but have concerns after reading some of the posts in this thread and others...

The contacts not being in the dialer sucks. Probably gonna ROM it just to get that feature back. And the screenshot sound being so loud sucks. Trying to reset my phone in public and it sounds like I'm taking random pictures of the floor lol

Adobe just updated the flash plug-in and it works again.

All this is a bit like moving from XP to Win 7. There is a bit different, and it takes a bit of learning.

Not all the different if great for everyone, but the learning curve is there.

In the end there are some features that work better than what we had before, some not so much, but under it all is an OS that works better for the new hardware and has more improvements for future software.

IE - ICS makes far better use of the dual core, than GB ever did. ICS has better data throughput and better use of data seperation for that multi-core device. and better memory use. (as best as I can tell so far)

I agree I didn't like the dialer changes at first. but now that I've gotten a better handle on the People app - I don't go to the dialer app at all. Why because there is a dialer go-to button on the people app.

So other stuff is still taking some getting use to. but that's part of it.

Flash - I can't fault Google or moto on that one. though I still wonder why, doesn't make much sense to be.

So far I haven't had a flash issue - incidentally is Adobe also abandoning LINUX because AIR hasn't worked for linux in a while? (complete tangent)

I like it but I have to admit I'm still learning it. Honestly My phone is faster at the things I want it to do.

Still doesn't work for me

So i did the update today and now my gallery wont open. I can look at the picture thru my camera but cant go into folder mode. Which means all the pics that arent in the main folder cant be seen. Any suggestions?

Do a factory reset

Factory resets aren't working for everybody. I have twice with no luck.

I just finished installing ICS update kind of by accident ( I didn't realize it was ICS update or I would have read all the problems going on and waited). After it booted up my laucher pro will not load (it comes on for a second then says it unfortunetly stopped working). I cannot get any widgets on the homescreen. I think I kept root (used voodoo root keeper). It will not let me change account on google play anymore ( I used hotmail.com and google accounts. I am doing a backup of everythin onto my computer now to do a factory reset.

Any ideas on how to fix some of these problems? There is no flash back to GB yet?

Thanks
