Been an Android user since November, so I suppose you could say I got pretty used to Gingerbread. I waited (relatively impatiently) for ICS and it finally arrived this weekend. I've got a growing list of issues, but these are my most pressing at the moment and I'm hoping someone out there can help:

1) I'd love to pass on my thoughts to the developers. Is there a forum/issues list/wishlist that they read specifically?
2) There was either a setting, or else it was the default, for the Alarm icon not to be displayed in the notification bar, but its back under ICS. Since I have daily alarms set (and I know they're there) I don't see why the space should be taken up. Any ideas how this can be turned off?
3) I'm getting an odd mixture of the old female voice and an occasional new male voice in the Google Navigate. I discovered a "known issue" from back in Decemeber... anyone else got this? I'm tempted to uninstall Maps and re-install. Can anyone think why this would be a bad/pointless thing to do?
4) Pressing the notification bar was a wonderfully quick way of displaying the date, but that (like so many other really neat ideas) has vanished under ICS. Is this a setting anywhere?

 

@Rush: Thanks... correct topic positioning is such a skill in its own right, isn't it?

@Njd4: No, I can see the date there. Whether it used to be there under Gingerbread I can't remember, but on that version, if you pressed on the notification line, the date used to appear on the left side of the notification bar itself - right where you have your Lookout icon. When you released, the date vanished. It was just a very quick way of seeing the date quickly and was one of the reasons I knew I was right to move from WinMob to Android - the developers had clearly really thought about things. However, removing this makes no sense - which I'm finding a common theme in ICS. Another for-instance, in the included TW Contacts app, when you scrolled the list (if, that is, you ordered by surname but displayed First Second - I set that straight away so no idea if it was different with other settings) the name part used for the sort order stayed visible and the rest faded. Again - intelligence and good thinking at work... until ICS when it vanished.

@all the others: Thanks for your comments. I happen to like most of the stock apps - Clock, Calendar, Navigate, etc, and would prefer to stick with them where I can, so getting to the right setting for what I already have is my ultimate goal - and if it doesn't exist now, get in touch with the developers and ask for it back. Think I'll just have to write a nice long letter to Samsung and hope that anything they aren't controlling gets passed back to the powers-that-be.

If anyone else has any thoughts, feel free to chip in
