Have upgraded to ICS on my Note. I am with Starhub.

 

Visually the screen looks sharper and the phone is much faster, have not tried the new functions yet. Only problem - i think my APN got reset and now its connect more to H and H+ (i presumed HSPDA) and not 3G. Called Starhub and they sent me a configuration message but it is not solving the issue.

 

Anyone on Starhub facing this issue and got it solved? Can post your APN settings?

 

Thanks!

Actually H and H+ means higher data transfer mode than 3G, not sure what you compalining about? Higher power consumption due to H+?

 

My only 'gripe' is that the default Chrome browser now very fast, but I love the Dolphin HD very much as it works almost like desktop but speed not much improve compare to before update. Definitely worth to update.

Upgraded on Singtel line too, so far so good. Hope it doesn't adversely impact battery life.

I upgraded to ICS yesterday and there seems to be some lagging with the GPRS. The normal game i played is now SUPER slow and i cant even run the speed test. Any way to change back to older settings until ICS is stable and all apps compatible?

When I upgraded my note to ICS, the batt drained super fast, until i turned off the "lock screen sounds", then managed to get it to go into deep sleep

it will wipe off all the apps right?

I updated thtough 3G, all the apps are still there but all the screens went back to default. So have to manually put all the apps back to the respective pages. Think if update through Kies maybe can do backup before update to save the hassle? But not big deal actually.

H and H+ is hell lot faster than 3G.. only thing is, our local telcos wanna maximise profits.. so most of the time, the connection sucks due to too many users at a particular spot..

Why then does it feel like the connection speed is so much slower than Gingerbread? Apps that uses data becomes so much slower. 1 app that is very obvious is SBS IRIS.

ICS drains battery much faster. To counter this, sadly you have to root it, thats what I did for mine to get the battery life of GB.

Can advise which is the best custom ROM to root?

 

I am still monitoring the battery consumption, if really jialat then will consider rooting.

This is the APN i got from Starhub

 

Name - Gee! 3G WAP

APN - shwap

Proxy - 10.12.1.2

Port - 80

MCC - 525

MNC - 05

Auth Type - PAP

APN type - internet

 

Overall so far, i find GB to be faster than ICS when u need to use apps that access online.
