      I just got the jb update.. the ui seems too be faster but it takes more processing power... games don't feel fluid as in ics... the phone tends too freeze Some times.. nvr had this problem with ics... web browsing seems to have taken a step back.. over all project butter indeed made the ui better but it's taking to much processing power.. even with a 1.4 ghz quad qore the phone freezes... for me the jb update is a disappointment...

        Battery after JB runs out much faster and phone sometimes freezes for 0,5 of second. I'm really disappointed with this update. I regret that I updated to JB. With ICS I had no problems

                With the JB upgrade red flashing frame shows up at opening pages or applications (on both of our phones) this sucks!!! Also galery and other apps seem to be slower... Does anybody know a solution?
