Updated my tab to the ICS update that was linked in the general forum prior to the mediapad gettings its own forum (hurrah).
Was hoping that the tab will be blazing fast after the update, sadly don't see much of an improvement.
However the big issue is some apps are dog slow, or refuse tow work. If you have any problems with apps with the update please list and tell if you know of resolution.
Let me start.
1. ezPDF reader - Takes ages to load a PDF after the update. Rendering is very very slow.
2. Adobe PDF reader - Fast than ezPDF, but still the rendering is slower. I was expecting the 2D rendering performance to improve with ICS, but sadly no luck.
3. Browsers are very slow. Though the benchmarks might be different, the actual page load times are now slower with the native browser and on dolphin HD.
2. The very useful feature that showed running apps, and recent used apps is now missing, and you have the generic list of apps
All the adobe apps like touch, proto etc. They hang on a black screen.
Latest copilot live just fc.

Amazon Kindle (v3.3 & up) not working: all books content (text & graphic) is blank.
(it's working on ICS Beta prior this leak)
Now using old v3.2 & working well (but of course, font is less pretty & no pdf support).
1. Google Play keeps restarting
2. Google Play has issues handling multiple threads (loading an app detail screen while several apps are being updated, results in lost connection errors)
Not sure if the Google Play problems are related to ICS or the device.

Perhaps the device. Mine has been working just fine.
Quickoffice Pro HD doesn't work. I had purchased/installed it for Springboard on 3.2, but after going to 4.0.3 it was not listed in My Apps when I go to Google Play on the tablet. When going to Google Play on my PC, the app shows up as installed - but with a note that it is incompatible with all of my devices.

Try setting the screen to high resolution and I'd bet that you will be able to install the app.

Good thought - I had tried that but no luck.
I was able to get Swype keyboard to install by going to high resolution, where it had previously not worked due to incompatible resolution.
Zinio isn't working for me.. App works but the magazines are just rendered as black pages.
Put SketchBook Pro on the list, fc on start.
Additionally:
* Autodesk SketchBook Express - does not start
even if there is a statement on playstore page "√ Now runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Optimized for screen sizes 7 inches and greater."
* Navfree - blackscreen on startup (was fine on HC)
HDMI out - working, but the picture looks like a low resolution upscaled to a higher resoution.. also, when the cable is connected before enabling the HDMI output function, you need to disconnect and reconnect.. otherwise you'll get no picture at all..
tried this with HC 3.2 (B016) on the same device, with same cable/TV (Sony Bravia KDL-40W4000), and the picture looks great (like a real HD 720p/1080p resolution).. also you don't need to reconnect the cable..
EDIT: tested on two more LCD TV's..
Sony Bravia 37" (full hd) - the picture doesn't display at all.. it only blinks for a split second...
Philips 32" (hd) - the picture is displayed, but it's the same as described above with the KDL-40W4000
EDIT 27.3.2012: tested with the latest International version S7-301u_V100R002C002B008, and it's still the same :\
EDIT 29.3.2012: tested with PC monitor.. based on the information that the information menu of the monitor provides, that standar output is 640x480, which si far from HD/FULL HD .. and maybe that's the reason why it looks so ugly on most TVs..
but.. when the HDMI output is changed in the hidden menu (description here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23862818&postcount=5 ) the resolution was 720x480...
Gameboid - only showing the top row of pixels.
What a bummer... I want to play pokemon.
EDIT: Turns out its all GBA emulators. DroidEmu has the same issue.
Foxit Reader crashes when loading a PDF. Once a PDF file is selected it shows its processing for around 1-2 sec and then crashes.
Netflix
Looks like Netflix isn't working with the new ROM. I get the opening screen where I pick a movie but when it starts to play I just get a black screen. Maybe this is a DRM issue not sure but it sucks.
Kirby
Update netflix is working like a charm with this latest ROM.
I am fully stock, no root or unlock with the newest jelly bean for AT&T on my optimus g. I noticed when using chrome to view videos on websites the video turns black as soon as the on screen controls fade in full screen mode.
This is happening when using the newest version of chrome. is anyone else having this issue?
Here's how I reproduce the issue.
view any website with embedded video players such as gawker.
play an embedded video
set it to full screen
on my phone as soon as the on screen controls fade away, the video also becomes black.
I'm seeing this too
It's just an issue with chrome. It happens to us Sprint users as well. Use the stock browser. You won't have the problem.
ME TOO!
I would love to use Chrome and all of ts features but the lack of fullscreen video playback is a deal breaker for me. If you go back to the original version of Chrome that comes installed in the phone it works fine. But who wants an old version of Chrome? I mean the whole point of using the chrome browser is for all of its cool features and upgrades that happens when you update it. I left them a 1 start review on the comments hopefully they fix it.

When I'm viewing a video doesn't mater if it's saved on my memory, micro sd or if it's online the video pauses when a screenshot is taken. I would have to click on the play button to resume or wait for the video to buffer again. I've tried third party apps & it's the same result. I'm on Jelly Bean version 4.1.2 & versions prior to this have this issue as well. I have updated to 4.3 before the problem was fixed the video would continue to play but I did not like 4.3. Lots of features were missing, battery was horrible so I could not stay on 4.3. Is there anyway to fix this problem 4.1.2? I have noticed the animation of the swipe is different in 4.3. You actually see the swipe crossing the screen but in 4.3 it's just a frame around the sides of the screen. I have tried third party apps & they have the same result. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
I have been experiencing this weird bug where after a day or two, videos inside apps like prime video, youtube, vanced stop working (tested only these). The video works fine when I open youtube in browser but these app seem like stuck in a loading state. Even funnier thing is that I couldn't record my screen when this happens. The screen recording floating window hangs as well. The only thing that I know fixes this is a restart.
Please help me out guys. If you want then I can record the screen using another device.
Haven't faced anything like this on my nord 2. I advice you to do a factory reset and do check whether you are in the latest build or not.
I am facing similar issue please someone help
