Thanks for this

Do we know the bug fixes on this version ?

Nothing more than the above for the time being, no dates for the roll out yet either.

I received the update yesterday, July 17th, 2012 - I have Sprint. Does anyone else have problems with the update to 4.0.4? Fricking update changed all my notification tone settings and moved the location to change them back. Also, I could not display email until I went in and selected the font size...it was already set to medium, but I had to reselect it in order for the email to show. Update also reloaded 3 weeks worth of emails!!!! It''s taken me until this morning to delete them all....it just keeps reloading old emails!

The new icons are pretty...but the initial experience is less than stellar for me. Hope it is smooth going from here on out.

Does anyone know if the recommended upgrade process is like going from GB to ICS - ie: clear cache, factory reset, upgrade, then clear cache and factory reset again ?

You shouldn't need to as its ICS to ICS. Reset is only usually required when changing OS completely from one platform to another or changing ROM's. However, if issues are experienced, it would be a good starting point for rectification purposes.

Some networks have rolled out a 4.03 update.

Hi, ref tonnes of emails, I went into setings, and asked it only to displat last 3 days worth, if I need to go further back, just temporarily change that setting to a month/etc...

How does one receive these Firmware updates, are they automated (like you get a notification about an update) or do you manually have to go online the get it?
