WHAT ICE CREAM SANDWICH WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE NEXT ANDROID OS UPDATE

The one Android update to rule them all -- better known as Ice Cream Sandwich -- is penciled in for an official launch sometime in the next two months, so it's only natural for some shots to leak out. We just weren't expecting a two-minute video showing off a few of the new features. As the story goes, a lucky gent ordered a Samsung Nexus S on eBay and, upon its arrival, noticed that his new prized possession looked a little... different. Hopping over to the About screen, he was shocked to discover that the device was running ICS. The firmware appears to be operating on the same baseband as the screenshots leaked a few weeks ago, but it's running on an updated build (IRK4 and kernel (3.0.1).

We can see plenty of influence from both Gingerbread and Honeycomb here, as well as four shortcuts on the bottom (a definite bump from the two found on vanilla 2.3). There's a new Google Apps icon which opens up a tray containing a number of featured services put out by the search giant, and long-pressing the home button brings up a vertical Honeycomb-style multitasking menu. The notification bar, camera UI and other menus also have a much different look. Granted, all of this could just be a custom ROM built to emulate the latest Google dessert, so we can't be a full hundred percent certain that it's authentic. If it's not, at least we can give credit for it being incredibly elaborate. Enjoy the video and additional screenshot below.

Anyone else experiencing slower 3G data speeds on their SGSII? Seems like the data speeds are slower than they were on my EVO4G.

Just did a quick search, and it's a know issue. I hope a fix is out soon, I'm considering going back to my EVO. I guess I'll take advantage of the 14 day trial, and if it's not fixed by then, send it back.

No 4G here, so I kind of need a good signal when I'm away from the house. Just got off the phone with Sprint, and the rep was a huge help. She gave me this provision code(does not delete data) ##72786# and my msl. Entered it in, and after reboot, my 3G results on speedtest.net had more than doubled. A lot of people give Sprint reps a bad rep, but she offered to call back in 15 minutes to see if it helped any. And surprisingly she did. I even told her I got the phone from wirefly. Might want to give it a try.
