Wow, good to hear that bro lgs's NS is revived!

Want to share some things about ICS that I discovered after using it for 2-3 days:
1. google freaking changed the theme to blue from green in GB, I think they need to make up their mind about which color is best!
2. Now the wifi icon at the top right actually shows when there are network activities, cool!
3. google search bar is permanent on top on the default launcher and yet they still make enough space for a 4x4 widget, even though the bottom of the launcher seems bigger than in GB! Maybe because of #4
4. the new font needs a bit getting used to, it seems "shorter".
5. now the launcher are much more useful, there are 5 shortcuts and each of them can be replaced! Yay!
6. lock screen is changed from being able to unlock/silent to unlock/launch camera, I want my silent quick key back!
7. default launcher->apps is now horizontal scrolling instead of vertical, nice.
8. Data Usage! Gone with 3g watch dog, this data usage monitor even shows how many bytes each application use.
9. Browser seems a lot smoother on zoom, but I experienced quite a lot of slowness, when I zoom in, the text are blur, takes 2-3 seconds before it become clear, seems like they give a preview of the page first, then load it, just like loading images.
10. Browser is able to set inverted colors! hooray for those with amoled screens.
11. There's a g+ widget that is like the FB one where we can see the statuses of our friends.
12. Panaroma mode in camera!
13. the new keyboard seems shorter also probably because of #4, and the default recommended word is now in the middle instead of in the left most, following swiftkey.

That's all for now, will add more when I discover more. biggrin.gif

I didn't have any problem on ICS so far, battery is better than GB, mms ok, wifi ok, network ok, 3G ok, gps ok, just one thing i'm not sure is CPU load, some says ICS loads CPU high, i dont know where to check it. apart from that everything works fine.  nod.gif
*
Yeah, actually I find my battery is better or same with GB also, noticed that Maps does seems to use less battery when I am using latitude now.

I think the complaint people put in is that if you go to Battery Usage, you will see that the Android OS is keeping the phone awake for longer than it should.

To see your cpu usage, you can go into Settings->Developer options->Show CPU Usage. biggrin.gif

How did you flash the Nexus Beam?

i found out the phone function was not so user friendly...the dailing keypad and display just like iphone, when i want to call some 1 but i dono their name, so i try to type their name on dailing keypad, but it will only show me number and will not show me a list of possible name list, which was unlike htc / samsung. is the a setting that i miss out?

You are right, there's no smart dialing ( I think that's what this feature is called ) in the standard ROM, you can try to find in the market for some dialer apps. But I am used to pressing the search button and using the keyboard instead to look for friends. smile.gif

just bought SNS few days ago. this morning, my wifi signal turn white instead of green. how to correct this?

Can you surf the internet? If yes then don't care about the color. If can't, most probably your router is not connected to the net?

Just realised the torch light app doesn't work in ICS, anyone using any torch light app that works in ICS?

Strange that everytime I switch to use Face Unlock it will make me stare at my NS like an idiot for 30 seconds. So far I couldn't impress my friends with it yet because of this.

Check your Unifi WiFi channel in the router. It must be below 11.

Ooo, learned something new today.

When the unifi guy came the channel was set to the default 11, then my laptop can connect and the NS can't. So I asked him to change the channels, forgot what is the channel that we eventually used.
