I have to admit I’ve not played with it alot but so far I see things I dont like as much and I see nothing new that I do like.
dont likes are…now when I go to clear my phone I must clear historu, then clear temp files and then clear cookies, just like in yee olden times. before the update it was all done with one button.
My Gallery went away, thats where all my pictures were, sure I found them after digging in my files but not as easy to get to.
The new clock numbers look odd and not found a way to change that yet.
The things I like are, well, I’ve not noticed any yet.

OK– which colossally stupid person decided that it was OK to just DUMP 100′s of songs from my phone when the changed the music app? And, did anyone ever think that, when dumping the post-it note widget, some of us might have had valuable data stored there? The change from the Alarm and Timer to the Clock interface just wastes more of my time. I’m glad you are trying to improve the product, but have you ever heard of taking care of your customer, and alerting them BEFORE you irreparable change something? IDIOTS!

Google Clock is half as useful as Alarm and Timer. Why do I have to press the alarm button inside the app just to set one, because I have to see the time first? I COULD ALREADY SEE THE TIME AT THE TOP TO THE PHONE, I don’t need to enter an app just for that! On top of that they took away the timer!!! What if I want to set a cooking timer on my phone? Now I gotta make a whole new alarm just for that and make sure it’s based on the current time; careful not to mix up your AMs and PMs.

There’s also no “Increasing volume” feature so using the phone as a wakeup alarm is like using an old alarm clock, immediately loud and startling. Getting rid of useless bloatware is one thing, but replacing one app with another that has only half of it’s features and a useless extra feature is retarded.

Gimme Alarm and Timer back, something I literally used every single day, or patch Google Clock with the features it should already have.

Mute in settings has been deleted. Where do we now find it?

So, are you telling me that we can no longer stream our music using Motocast thru the Google Play Music app??? We have to now download everything to our SD card? Unfortunately, this isn’t cool with me as I constantly used the “My Music” app to play the music that streamed through Motocast and if I log in to Motocast to listen to my music there is no way to shuffle the songs

An awesome upgrade (regardless of the fact that it took me forever to figure out how to turn off the stock keyboard haptic feedback). Love my original Razr MAXX even more now.

Everyone went with The Princess Bride, but I immediately thought of Admiral Ackbar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dddAi8FF3F4

The instructions say that if I don’t get the notifications to download it through About Phone > System Updates but it says I’m up to date… confused.

Also, I’m worried that Jelly Bean has increased the font size and spacing, letting less info show on my screen at a time and making me scroll more (see Chrome browser difference on RAZR and Galaxy Nexus).

Google buys Motorola, waits until it runs the course of products in its pipeline, hints at a Motorola X phone, then release JB to older phones that would normally be ignored by old Motorola and Verizon all together.

Good times they are a coming.
