I upgraded to 12 yesterday and have had a day to play around with it, mostly using all the functions that I use day to day. The update was painless, took a little over an hour, but didn't have any issues. So far this update has been great! It has fixed a ton of bugs that I was experiencing. For instance I was having background apps crash constantly, sometimes I couldn't even use Pandora because it would go into a constant crash mode where it would crash and reopen, only to crash again, and repeat over and over. Just have had a lot of frustrations ... but it looks like 12 has addressed most of this if not all. I have had no crashes.
A couple more things, the Bluetooth signal seems to be way more powerful. I use to start losing my signal when the phone is in my bedroom and I walked into my kitchen (bluetooth headset). But now the signal is very strong, no drops or problems. Also, since I bought the phone I have had constant problems syncing my phone with my car stereo, so bad sometimes that I could drive a whole trip trying to sync and every time it would sync it would say synced (no media) ... frustrating ... and it never synced by itself. Now as soon as I start the car my phone is auto synced with my stereo ... BRAVO!!
It is a little annoying that so many of the functions have moved around, but I'll get used to it with a little play. One that I used a lot was the % of charge on the start screen which is now gone.
Suggestion for improvements in the future that would really set this phone apart ... make the start up screen programmable ... so the user can customize what controls are on it.
Anyway, I was really surprised to see so many negative comments as it seems to have fixed a lot of bugs for me. Guess I'll check back in in a couple of weeks after I give the phone a really good run through.
Cheers!
