I've been waiting for ages to get the ice cream sandwich on my one (HTC sensation XL) and finally got it today.
It's really cool.

Anyone else getting it on their phone?

I've had it for about half a year and all I've found is that it drains the battery quicker.

On 2.3, the battery lasted 8 days on my Nexus S but with 4.X, it can do no more than 4 days.

My battrmery only lasted for a maximum of 1.5days on the 2.3
Let's see how the battery life on the 4.0 is like.

I've had the exact opposite experience. It's gone from barely lasting from 7AM to 12AM to lasting the same amount of time but with over 50% battery left. There have been a few little problems I've had, but mostly I can't tell the difference between Gingerbread and ICS

Youd like android, they hide eastereggs.

Broskis go to phone information and start tapping the version number. :)

Custom Rom expirience

I have a vodafone desire HD which I rooted and rom-ed.
I am running 4.0.4, my battery lasts long enough... Basically I use my phone that little it lasts.
Mind you they still don't have a leaked kernel so my camera doesn't work properly and some of the drivers are sort of hacked together.
Although the experience isn't perfect, I still prefer it to a longer lasting Gingerbread running phone.

ICS is beautiful.

yer I've had it for a few months now.. yes it drains battery. also if you want to get the new android versions before they are released officially.. root your phone and instead roms.. it will void warranty but it is epic!

There is no way for a phone store to know if a phone has been romrooted unless you hand it to them like it.

Its the same with OCing CPU's, ~no~ way to tell.

I'm saying goodbye to ICS now.

Upgrading to Jellybean as I speak.

I cant believe jellybean is already out. Man my phone slowed down so much on icecream sandwich and the battery life drained so much, I dunno if thats got to do with deterioration of battery life of phone over time (its not even a year old yet) or its to do with the OS.
