Exclamation Apps and features not working with the unofficial ICS 4.0.3 update

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

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.
