ICS coming to RAZR, MAXX, and REZOUND next week?

My sentiments exactly!

28. Synack posted on 30 Mar 2012, 16:58 2

$100 says it will look the exact same, but it will say 4.0.4 in the About phone menu.

32. Whateverman posted on 30 Mar 2012, 17:15 0

IDK, maybe a little. The new UI is too good to total redo, so its in Motorola's best interest to add just a few of its own touches and leave the rest as is.

This is way off topic but i want to ask, how long does it take to completely charge your Maxx from 0% to 100%?.

14. rcjrdrummer posted on 30 Mar 2012, 15:55 1

Well I've only had it for a day but I've charged it from 0-50% and it took about a little over an hour. So I would assume around 2 and a half hours complete charge.

36. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 30 Mar 2012, 17:30 1

Mine's about 3, takes 45 min just to get from 0 to 20, but after that it speeds up.

I wish it charged faster.

Oh, and it takes like FOREVER to charge when hooked up to my computer.

that's with any device dude.

37. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 30 Mar 2012, 17:31 0

Yea, the Droid 4 is a really good phone. Its just like the Razr spec wise, isn't it?

43. KingKurogiii posted on 30 Mar 2012, 19:52 0

everything except for the display is the same.

51. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 31 Mar 2012, 08:47 0

it's interesting how the OG Droid has one of the best screens for a smartphone, and then the 4th version of it is terrible. (screen-wise)

Screw you dude! That song is now stuck in my head for the rest of the day. :-P
But, I share your sentiments if this rumor pans out.

12. KingKurogiii posted on 30 Mar 2012, 15:37 2

me too. i love that Moto only seems intent on making subtle changes that retains that Motorola Character but doesn't make the experience too different from Stock like what they've done with Honeycomb on the Xyboards.

17. roscuthiii posted on 30 Mar 2012, 16:10 1

Yep, I was pretty leery about Motorola's Blur interface before I picked up the Razr Maxx, but I haven't had any issues with the UI so far. Actually, I admit I kinda like Moto's interface. My only gripe was a few things I'm used to from ADW so I switched back to that. But that's really only because I was used to ADW, not a knock against Blur.
In the end I'm probably just going to root it and run a custom ROM anyhow, stock Android OS or not. I'd been waiting to root to see what ICS would bring on its own, or even if it would get the ICS update. I hadn't expected anything until the summer. This just bumps up my time frame. Whoo hoo!!! :-D

38. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 30 Mar 2012, 17:31 1

yeah, but who cares GO Launcher is going on instantly.

44. KingKurogiii posted on 30 Mar 2012, 19:53 0

i'm using GO Launcher on my Razr now but i hope i like the new ICS Launcher better because GO Launcher is a big hit to battery life.

52. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 31 Mar 2012, 08:48 1

I have a Razr Maxx, so battery life is no object.

I'm pretty sure its getting ditched like the Droid X and X2, not positive tho.

45. KingKurogiii posted on 30 Mar 2012, 19:54 0

no, it's definitely getting ICS.

31. roscuthiii posted on 30 Mar 2012, 17:06 1

Thus the real Achilles' Heel of a skinned Android... carrier interference.

I wish they'd separate the coding so Google could update the OS more timely, maybe make the skins a home replacement like ADW, GO Launcher, Launcher Pro, etc. If they were available in the market (err, Google Play Store) and came with at least some kind of perks they may be received more warmly by people.

49. belovedson posted on 30 Mar 2012, 22:24 0

i been saying this for a year now but i realize without the skins people would all buy the best tech and just reskin it. or the best priced phone and skin it

What are you talking about?

59. KingKurogiii posted on 31 Mar 2012, 14:28 0

he has an ICS ROM. he doesn't know what he's talking about. :P

63. nnaatthhaannx2 posted on 31 Mar 2012, 19:51 0

A ROM isn't going to be like the real thing...?

None of the ROMs even have a working camera!
