Haven't noticed a problem with flash, it updated in market after the update. Haven't played with it much though admittedly
what was the dev options we were talking about yesterday? Something about unchecking 'allow background processes' or something?
Seem improved...
Hmmm... I thought it was actually about the same or slightly better, are you sure it's not because we have all been fiddling with our phones most of the day?
^This, lol (probably)
I been kicking the idea around of going ahead and factory resetting it. Will that give me the option to keep the stuff on SD card (not exsdcard)? Anyone know?

My wife updated her (stock) rezound last night and now her received texts are showing up in notification but when she taps the message it says "loading" and freezes up. Anyone else getting this??

If you're asking about the White HTC screen coming up after backing out of apps, it was
'Settings' - 'Developer Options' - 'Don't keep activities'.
When checked, the HTC screen came up every time...

I did the reset from the settings menu. I still have everything on my sd, just dont check the "erase sdcard" box.

Still nothing here. No updates at all. I'm on stock. I tried many times to check for updates. It doesn't do anything but say checking then back to the screen. Nothing saying up to date or anything. Thoughts

Not an option when sideloading PH98IMG.zip through hboot. I'm still glad I did it though, as I needed to get rid of a bunch of apps. (In response to the wiping internal memory deal... Taptalk doesn't let me redo my quote, just edit.)

Replacement Rezound just showed up...charging the battery before activating it...then going to activate it and hopefully I'll have some ICS to download before I set it up the way I want.

Does that preserve the internal phone memory? The phone calls it SD card when the actual sd card is listed as ex_sd card.

It cleared everything I think, my sd card stayed untouched. The only thing I lost was a few pictures from Handcent that may have been downloaded to the wrong directory

Just wanted to share that I finally got the OTA last night. It was in two pieces as has been reported. Strangely and unexpectedly, it didn't wipe my phone at all. Apps and data all still intact and I can finally install ICS only apps like Chrome and Nova Launcher. So happy.
One thing that was weird that may or may not help people is that the confirmation box would come up saying that the second part had been downloaded and allowed me to take, reject or cancel the upgrade but with Beautiful Widgets feature where is has the weather animations show when the phone is turned on from standby, the box would disappear and no amount of hitting the check for new software button would bring it back. Finally had to go into the Beautiful Widgets widget and turn off that option. Then the box stayed visible and I was able to choose the option to take the update. The install was fairly fast and very smooth.

For boot flashing the IMG.zip - And make sure that you have fast boot turned off first, or you won't get down to the bootloader.

It installed just fine on mine. All currrent/old apps, data and settings are intact (didn't lose anything). It was a seamless upgrade.
I had the micro-USB power plugged in while at it - be sure you guys do too!
It took like 30 minutes or so as it cycled thru various stuff.... downloading after downloading, reboot after reboot, etc. Everything was auto... don't mess/touch the phone after it starts the first/small 7MB file. For a moment it rebooted normally and stopped there at a "4GLTE" screen for the longest time and i thought it locked up!! Then i remembered i waited for half a year... so waiting a few more hours should not be a problem!! Then several minutes later it happily continued its way to download/install more stuff and when it was all done, everything looks/works great!!

And if you've seen on other threads... they suggest flashing twice. Since fast load "on" is the default setting, you'll need to go through minimum setup steps so you can get to settings and turn it off for the second flash.

I tested my HTC Flyer with my house WiFi off last night right after my ICS update and had Internet connection. I had changed the name of the connection and rebooted. But now it won't work. I have tried different fixes and WiFi hot spots, nothing will work. Trying a work around that allowed the original HTC Incredible non-rooted to work as a hot spot, but not successful yet.
Ugh!

I'm in! Always need something good to bitch about.
Bitch about how horrendous Verizon's customer service is, how they want to screw everyone over and rake in record profits in spite of the breakneck speed at which their 4G network is expanding, and how they will try every trick in the book to make you want to change plans, thus eliminating unlimited data. But please, don't bitch about wanting Jellybean... It.just makes Android users look stupid.
If you really want Jellybean, or whatever comes after it, get rooted and install a custom ROM. Otherwise, leave the bitching at home

When did ICS OTA happen and how do I know if my phone is up to date? I tried to "Check New" under software update but all it does is say it's checking and then reverts back to Status/Check New screen... Doesn't say if I'm up to date or not.

Sorry if this has been posted. I haven't been able to keep up with every post.
Just FYI for anyone who has not received the OTA.
I live in a Verizon "extended" area and didn't receive my OTA until I drove down to a Verizon service area. I received an update notification as soon as I hit the 4g. So if you are still waiting, and live outside an official Verizon area like me, you might need to give this a try. (I am not rooted or any of that)
So far I like it except I did the thing where you can adjust the size of a widget, and now it won't go back. Overall my phone seems to run a little quicker and more smoothly. I want to do a factory reset, but dread putting everything back in its place.
Thanks everyone on here for your comments and help.
