Help OTA 4.0.4 update. (caution s-off/root user. Ringtone issue)

I downloaded the system update today and my phone is practically unusable now. After 2-3 minutes of doing ANYTHING on my phone (internet, browsing through the play store, 30 seconds of trying to read a book in my kindle app, etc) my phone reboots itself. NOT COOL. Only way to go back to the previous version a factory reset?

Anyone else notice that the Native Stock Widget and Stock program are now missing after this latest update?



EDIT: Disregard. It helps to not disable the application in Manage Apps. Problem solved.

After I updated, I get a random text message from 8737 that has a bunch of crap letters (about 4 lines of it). Am I just supper lucky that I get these at 2AM or does anyone else get these? Any idea how to make them stop?
That may not be "update" related; it sounds like your number is on someone's spam mailer.

If you use Handsent or GoSMS you can black list those texts and they won't bother you anymore. The stock messaging app does not have a blacklist option.

System updates get rolled out slowly, so coming on here periodically will get you the knowledge of a new update sooner than later, which will then allow you to manually do a check for the system update so you get it earlier than you did.



Is it normal to not get a notification for a system update until almost 2 weeks after?

I don't come on here often much anymore but when I noticed a 'system update' notification at the top, I signed on expecting to see a new thread today. Instead I find a thread from August 28th... wth?

Yes as mentioned above update roll outs can take 6 weeks or more to reach everyone. Its a random selection process
