Here I’ll try to keep a running log of things I’ve found to be new or different on the official AT&T ICS update to the Galaxy S2. Let’s get started:
- Lock screen looks a bit different
- General font used is different, better looking
- >Pattern unlock – pattern can be hidden
- Hold power button: now offers going to airplane mode
- Hold power button: when changing to sound on or off, there is a warning window you have to click ‘OK’ (somewhat annoying)
- GMail interface – completely different look and feel
- Power saving widget takes up 8 icon slots instead of 4
- More Google Play integration – Play books, Play Music, Play Movies
- Several other new apps\widgets built in (not AT&T crapware)
- *Taking a screenshot is completely different: Press and hold the power and volume down buttons for about 2 seconds
- Screen rotations seems to be more fluid
- Icons for cellular network strength and network are different
- A few new smooth transitions and fade in\out when navigating between different screens
- Does not seem to get stuck in the wake\sleep transition bug AKA 30% battery by 4:00PM (still testing…we’ll see)
I’ll add to this list as I come across anything else.
