Me too! me too!

**oberkc** · 02-05-2013, 11:39 AM

Mine just activated

**braxtoq** · 02-05-2013, 11:45 AM

Does anyone know if you will be able to upgrade over wifi only? I am not activated, ordered a Note 2 and want to decide if it would be worth it to send the Note 2 back and continue using the Tbolt now that we finally have ICS.

Just deferred it until I can confirm that a few other people are working on it. Please post test results asap and thank you!

I don't know for sure, but in the past, I believe updates were available also at the HTC site, and one could do a manual update. (hopefully, I am remembering correctly...am I thinking of an earlier phone I had?) If true this time, then I can't imagine why one could not update via wifi.

Of course I can't get a 4G signal the day I want to download a 400MB file...

You can get updates over Wi-Fi (Verizon's instructions mention it here: ). But I believe the phone needs an active SIM card to do so (to authenticate to either Verizon or HTC's system). As to the Note 2, IMO you'd be crazy to send it back. It's hands down a much better phone than the Thunderbolt in just hardware alone, not to mention it has Jelly Bean. No contest, game over man, game over!

When gingerbread came out, there were at least a hundred posts in this amount of time, many of them worried that the update server was overloaded and complaining about it not rolling out fast enough.

Do we really have so few thunderbolt users left?

Forgot to turn 4G on before updating; this is going to be a long wait.

LOL I remember those days. It was fast and furious keeping up with all the threads and posts. Good times!

But yah, I'd venture a guess that most have moved on. It's been almost two years since its release (around middle of March 2011).

Of course, back then, we also had a prerelease RUU and many people reporting issues beforehand.

Can we do screenshots now? If so how do you do it?

Seriously? I think the Note 2 is just a little (just a tad) more up to date than the T-Bolt...

One of 2 ways. Hold down the power button and the down volume button or hold down the power button and hit the home button.

im rooted, but just flashed the new radios

Big visual difference. Might be a little bit slower. You can keep scrolling through the home screens now.

**natehoy** · 02-05-2013, 01:45 PM

Decided to go for it. I'm on wifi but it insists on using 3g. Ugh.

Holding down the home button to see your most recently used apps looks a lot cooler now. It shows you what was on the screen when you closed out of each app.

**braxtoq** · 02-05-2013, 01:52 PM

The note 2 rocks! However I think it might be too big I hadn't decided yet. I really would like to see what impact the update has.

Can you still get S-OFF or root with the available tools after ICS is installed?

Since the OTA package includes an updated hboot, so I was curious if anyone who installed the OTA update, if they were now limited, or stuck?
