No you don't HAVE to know... but then that would mean you'd need to take it to someone and possibly pay them to have them do the work... just like with car or other repairs, what you don't know, you have to pay someone that does do for you. What OutOfPhase suggested was not out of line, nor was it uncalled for, so don't blame them for making a good suggestion simply because you don't understand how to perform the steps needed.
While I do understand you are having issues after the ICS update... it doesn't mean it means that ICS is at fault, just that the issue happened after you updated. Obviously either something got corrupted during the update or something you have installed is causing issues... but the issues are not directly ICS based otherwise everyone else would also be experiencing the problems as well.
My GPS is spot on except when I'm inside a building ( which it shouldn't work well in anyway )... My extended battery, I am getting almost 48hrs of use out of.
I think flashing is your next logical step as well... whether you choose to learn how to yourself or to find/pay someone to do it for you. Sometimes, technical issues requires technical solution and complaining about them doesn't make them easier or fix anything.
I didn't say he was out of line, but what was suggested seemed like an FDR on steroids, and I'm none too eager to brick my phone. Since I don't understand what I was looking at, the possibility of bricking my phone increases dramatically. I don't have a spare phone just lying around that I can try it on first, and I don't have a spare couple hundred dollars to spend on a new phone if it does brick. I'm sorry, I'm just not willing to take that chance.
My GPS worked just fine before ICS, along with the rest of my phone. After ICS was pushed, I noticed that my location was the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It was dead on, before. After ICS, when I look at satellite imagery for Google maps, in my geo caching app, I will sometimes get an entire grey screen, or grey boxes. Didn't happen with GB. After ICS, navigation would reroute me in the middle of a drive, or tell me to do stupid things, like turn left on the interstate. Not with GB.
After ICS came out, people were posting issues on the Motorola forums, and it seemed no two people had the exact same issues. So, you can't say "everyone would be experiencing the same problems". All I know is, my phone worked fine before, and now it doesn't.
And I never got even 12 hours out of my battery, even when the phone wasn't being used. I spent a weekend in the mountains last year (no signal, no phone, no phone usage). So kudos to you for having an amazing battery.
I'm just frustrated from dealing with this for over 2 months.
