For Xmas, I got Rae one of the new Galaxy Nexus phones.
While a little large for my liking, the phone is pretty and Ice Cream Sandwich seems a decent incremental upgrade, despite a number of applications not yet being upgraded to take advantage of some of the features (the Facebook application doesn't synchronise contacts, for example).
One problem which has surfaced is serious and affects the functionality of the phone: SMSes are sometimes delayed on sending. By 'sometimes' I mean every day, but not every text.
Rae and I will communicate regularly throughout the day, and sometimes many hours will go between me receiving SMSes and then a number (3, 4, maybe 5) will come in at once, with exactly the same received time stamp. If I've sent her messages before the flood, everything looks on her phone as they're in chronological order, while on mine everything is out of whack.
The delay can be from a few minutes to many hours (I think five hours is the highest so far).
The latest over-the-air update was applied (it was bought off-contract so isn't locked to any provider and can receive updates as soon as they're available) on Monday and hasn't resolved it.
Any suggestions on the cause? Could it be a hardware problem, or is it most likely software? It's only surfaced since her phone changed.
Rae's on Vodafone, I'm on O2, if that's relevant (I don't think it is.)
I have experienced this problem as well on Verizons network its odd cuase it just started happening it must be small number of phones with problem hope its software issue even though im very glad i opted for total equipment protection as well. I really like the phone guess this the pains of being an early adopter to ICS get it together google
