Hi Warren,

I did play music on the way home as well, and that worked.  ICS allows you to control your music on the lock screen.  I don't know if you've used Rdio, but I have it and the controls to skip, pause and go back appeared on the lock screen.  That was quite impressive.

Not a problem for me. Upgraded last night and used hands free this morning...

Anybody know why the ICS lock screen feature where you can jump to camera etc doesn't work? From android.com:

New lock screen actions

The lock screens now let you do more without unlocking. From the slide lock screen, you can jump directly to the camera for a picture or pull down the notifications window to check for messages. When listening to music, you can even manage music tracks and see album art.

It was my Data plan!  Officially, tethering should not have been working before.

Hope this helps someone else out there!

Stupid thing was, support said I should try calling Samsung to see what they would say.  "Have to send in the phone." was the response.  Morons.  Great products, support was a bit poor.  At least it was easy to get a human quickly, probably because ALL their responses are simplistic useless doodoo.

How do you take screenshots now? Power+Home doesn't work anymore, and Power+Vol Down doesn't work either.

Got my ICS update to work now, props to Samsung live support for helping (although it may have been that I just tried updating thru Kies on a different computer - my laptop has been acting up lately). Now, just waiting for ICS for my Tab 10.1!

srry for the late reply, but one big thing i noticed between custom and rogers is the layout obviously. Rogers is still running on old TW as custom was on new TW so the applications panel was different as well i could load 5 instead of 4 apps at the bottom. the input settings were different as well i found the custom ics responded better to key stroke inputs and autocorrect/word predic.

other than that not to much different, i really just hate how its on the old TW makes it feel to much like GB instead of ICS

also for anyone having issues updating thru kies since i couldnt update thru it since my phone was running custom at&t rom, download the official rogers 4.0.4 thru sammobile and flash the tar file thru odin. NOTE: your phone DOES NOT NEED TO BE ROOTED to use odin. you just need to go into download mode on your phone, and install from there.

if you dont know how to use ODIN check out the XDA forums for information on how to use it.

How would I be able to install the new Touchwiz? The Rogers version of ICS for this phone makes it look like GB.

Thanks Braatwaate,

I agree voice actions are useless. Unfortunately Vlingo and  AIVC do not work well with phone numbers, only contacts, and since I often am calling different phone numbers,  I need an APP that can handle that. Unfortunately the ones I use: Motospeak, and Choice Dialer, are not set up to work with Android 4. I haven't tried cyberon voice commander. But I'm happy to hear that bluetooth handsfree works .

To take screenshots, HOLD power + Home for 2-3 secs
