Reasons FOR updating to ICS ?

[Goots]

My calendar has changed massively. I didn't like it at first (mainly because I use the old calendar app a lot) but now I've got used to it, I'm starting to think it is a better design.

Is your calendar brownish, with the events showing and today's events showing at the bottom. This what's on the TripleEye, can't remember on the SGS. But the EyeEye just looks like it did before ICS with little dots showing for events, with the days events showing at the bottom.

Er, not sure if you can view this...

The blue lines are my shift pattern, the green and dark blue ones are events from my google calendars.

Think that's how the EyeEye looks now.

This is the S3:

Ah that does look pretty sweet

Might investigate..

I'm not sure my upgrade completed correctly? Is there a way I can tell. Nothing looked different, calandar certainly doesn't look like screenshot above. I've also heard there were some problems with the upgrade not completing - makes GPS drop out on certain apps (Mapmywalk). Their help help lists ICS upgrade not completing as the reason for this - apparently factory resetting phone fixes it...?. Anybody else heard of this? How do I find out if I'm affected, & most importantly, how do I fix it..? Cheers

One thing that does seem to be the norm is doing a factory reset after the upgrade. I upgraded from GB to ICS as soon as I had the phone - based on the fact that everything was new and so any 'new' features wouldn't be obvious to me. After the upgrade it all seemed ok and so I didn't do the reset but then found problems with an SMS app later. After a factory reset the SMS app worked perfectly, so if you haven't already then suggest you do the reset as it does make a difference.

A factory reset is compulsory after upgrading from GB to ICS, unless you really want to have problems.....? Also, there may be some apps that need an ICS update to integrate fully with the new FW but most of them are done now so you shouldn't find too many issues.....
