So my phone tells me there is an update available for the operating system today.

(Samsung Galaxay S II)

I'm thinking in the back of my mind, "no I probably shouldn't", but did it anyway.

When it was done, everything was super slow, couldn't get into email etc.

Reset the full sync thing, and then Gmail down loads and is available. But regular andriod mail still wont download.

I updated the PRL, the profiles and checked for firmware updates but still no change

Anybody else do this update today and have problems with it?

So no one had this issue besides me?

Interesting.

Voice mail was non responsive, text messages were arriving 20-30 minutes late, trying to type a text the phone would lock up for moments at a time.

The main problems revolved around the main android email program. It would open but then be non responsive, so it had something to do with the sending and receiving.

Currently I disabled the default email program, and the phone is working fine again. I wonder if this is androids attempt to make people use the gmail program?

I downloaded Aqua mail and that worked fine.

So now i tried to reinstate my regular email program and had to enter all 3 of my accounts in there again and add to the synch. Now it works like a charm.

I did notice that there are new features with this email, where you can select an entire day and then a trash can appears to delete it. that never was like that before the update.

I deleted the Aqua mail (didn't care for that anyway) and back to normal now. Must have been a fluke in the update process.

Hmmm...nothing yet for Tab 8.9.

Frankly, the way Samsung has been dragging this out I'm seriously thinking about who will NOT be the supplier of my next tablet, if there is a next tablet.

Is this device through Verizon? They are notoriously slow to release updates.

The VZW Galaxy Nexus took over 3 months to get an update that was pushed out on every other cell provider almost immediately.

I got an update to ICS shortly after getting my phone and it pretty much killed it. I called Sprint and they had me punch in some sort of codes and it was back to normal again.

Just before the update Sprint upgraded the towers in my area and 3G speeds were cruising, so I could tell right away something was up when that minor OS update was installed.

I would call them and tell them your data speed has decreased since the update and see if they'll work their magic. You'll need a second phone handy because you'll have to power down your cell during the call with C.S.

Thanks for the tip!

I called them this morning and he walked me thru punching in a bunch of numbers and now it is back at normal speeds again.

Awesome. I have no idea what they are doing, but it works!

Before the tower upgrades my data speed was probably around 2-300. After the update to ICS and before the call to C.S., double digits.

Just did a speed test and got over 1200 1900 kbps on 3G.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
