The words i type are light grey on a white background and i can hardly read them prior to posting. After posting they are fine.

Also, getting a message. that reads 'device cannot play material' when i open some threads but everything seems fine.

I presume you're talking about the HN app? Sounds like it might be something glitchy in Moto's skin, or with carrier bloatware, not ICS. I wish I could help you, but I can't. I won't even ask if you did a reboot of the phone and a reinstall of the app, because of course you tried those things first...!!

[WildTurkey]

I am sure your web browser is full of things you should not google.

 

[ssckelley]

no, I would not google something that does not exist!

OK, I installed the HN app in order to take a look at it. FYI, I'm running Android 4.0.3 ICS on a Samsung Galaxy SII (TMobile). Here's what a couple of screens looked like to me (these are enlarged a bit, of course):

Is this what it looks like on your phone? I see what you mean about the light grey on white in the first screenshot, but since I don't use the app, I can't speak to how it looked on my phone before the ICS upgrade.
My guess is that JD's people haven't massaged the app to account for ICS; it is probably optimized for Gingerbread only.

MMmmmm...the things I would do for a Klondike bar right about now..

I have a razor and if I turn my phone horizontal the typed words are black. Not sure why but if you hold your phone vertical the type is gray.

Scorpio... I ran across this old post where you mention you have a Galaxy SII. Do you like it? I'm thinking of getting a Galazy SIII.

I mostly like the GSII very much, ATL. Keep in mind that this is my first Android handset - I used a BlackBerry until late last year.
There are times when it is a bit troublesome (telephony inconsistencies), and it seems to need rebooting with regularity, but overall it is fast and very capable.
The telephony glitches are most likely carrier-related (I'm on TMobile).
I reckon the refinements that Samsung made to the GSIII probably eliminate any issues people had with the GSII (and the list is short), so my opinion is that you would probably love the GSIII.

Thanks, Scorpio. That confirms what I've read and heard... I think I'll give it a try.

Cool. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts about the GSIII after you've used it for a week or three.

Da wifey has the GSIII. Me have phone envy.
