**** OFFICIAL **** ICS COMING SOON thread... Post all questions and info here!!!!

But it can't be far away because the leak is real good. If they gonna spend another 1 to 2 months on improving it then I can't wait until its released.
 
Honestly I'm suspecting that the "so called" leaked document from Best Buy was a phony. I guess we'll find out for sure tomorrow. That same document indicated that the HTC Rezound was getting ICS on Friday...
 
Honestly, I had a gnex, and while the ICS was nice and much newer looking than GB, the functionality is basically the same. After I returned the gnex for the razr, the razr seemed a bit snappier than the gnex if thats possible for you guys to believe...
 
I still call April Fools on ICS and the Best Buy pub is a fake. People bridged that the soak test for a new GB bug fix was ICS and created a "new" reality. The leaked ICS is too far from gold and would be a disaster for customer service costs for Verizon.

Added: My guess is two months, since the update needs to be as easy and unobtrusive as possible to avoid mass customer service costs. IE, all users wiping their Razrs for it to work decent is NOT the answer.

Its not happening, Motorola is just now sending out soak test updates for .181, not ICS. Its going to be months before ota ICS. If you want ICS now with motoblur, use the leaked copy. Been using it and it's wonderful.

For some it is and others it is not. Seems if anyone does update with ICS, best to wipe data clean before installing. This seems to be why some are having issues and others are not. Depends on the current app installs on your device and how well they fit with the current ICS.

Recovering with a full Titanium backup could also be problematic, since the same apps that may cause conflicts will get installed again. Best to install in steps to figure what might cause issues.
 
I still say June or July. On the DX we received four different leaked GB builds before finally seeing an official ota
 
The new soak test is a gingerbread update and not ICS. Looks like all Charlie Brown got really was a rock.
 
*sigh* I go through this every single time I get a new phone! For once I would like to see event dates and not have to deal with all the hoax announcements (Best Buy) and rumored release dates that end up being wrong because the release dates are big secret. Come on, I'm not asking for an exact date.. just tell us "Ok, we are running the soak test between this and this date. If there are no issues deployment will begin within two weeks. We will announce a new estimated soak date if issues do crop up."

I figured the BB one was a hoax from the start.. come on.. Best Buy announces it but no word from VZ or Motorola? Just a tad suspicious.

Best buy didn't announce anything. An employee took a picture of an internal memo and leaked it (supposedly).

Sucks for y'all cause I'm running ICS that's for the RAZR from Motorola! Its pretty stable a few bugs but very close to a finished product. It's good enough for me to not even miss GB and GB is real good on the RAZR! I never really thought that it would be released today maybe in a couple of weeks or a month from now.

Radios are strong, Blurwich is really nice, fast and smooth, and ICS is sexy! The overall speed and function of the phone is better. Quad GB 2500, Quad ICS 2900!

For me I don't need 181 not going back to GB but if their is a way(and I know it will) to get 181 and get back my ICS then I'm good but if not sticking with ICS!

where can i download and install 4.0 myself? what bugs were you talkin about? tnx.
 
For those that are dependent/use FoxFi, do know that those with the leaked ICS installed on their Maxx say FoxFi no longer works. I emailed FoxFi and their rep says they are looking into it. They said hold off on installing ICS if I needed FoxFi.

?... are updates like ICS, etc. pushed and install without phone owner accepting the install?
If I remember correctly an update will not install unless you say yes???

LOL, again, until it's officially announced from Moto or VZW, no sense putting any stock into leaked documents from an after seller of phones. :cool:

Quoted for truth (and for someone who dealt with rumors with the Hero and has learned from them). :)

If you look in the All Things Root forum there are directions. Note that doing this may brick your device and render it useless and that it also voids your warranty.

When I first got my MAXX it was on GB 2.3.5...within a day i was getting prompts for an update (2.3.6). I checked NO everytime the offer came up so I could get some time to explore 2.3.5 in order to see if there were any obvious differences between that and the newer version available. Well long story short...at some point i was not paying attention, assumably I got another prompt to install but missed it...and the update installed automatically. I guess if I had to answer your question based on what I personally experienced it would be that you can hold it off for some time--but the update is inevitable and will be pushed to your phone. Of course I am talking about a stock MAXX not rooted or modified in any way.
 
Out of curiosity is there any evidence that the supposed Rezound update came to pass? I did a quick google search and didn't see anything.

Just checked the AF Rezound forum, and no word over there about it at all. My guess is no dice. And going into a holiday weekend wouldn't be the best time to run a large scale update anywho. YMMV.

So I probably should stop getting all my information from Screen Caps of unverified internal Best Buy memos?
