Official - I Received the ICS OTA Update!! Thread

[LmaoDallas]

Just manually upgraded and switched to Sprint ID immediately to enable stock ICS. Never thought Sprint ID would EVER come in handy, but it did for once. Now I'll never touch it again. But I do approve of the manual upgrade (not that my approval matters or anything, lol). But seriously, it's super easy and I had absolutely no troubles at all. I instantly love my phone again!

How to do you do a battery stat swipe?

Got notice yesterday and upgraded via Kies. Now the "resident" email app wont display the emails (Gmail app works fine though). Any way to repair? Hope I dont have to reinstall ICS; not exactly tech savy.

Edit: krap! Just realized this was a OTA thread. Can anyone direct me to where I should post this issue?

i dont have a pc right now and i keep getting unsuccessful download when downloading from my phone. im stock and not rooted. any one have different link for manual update without a pc?

I just finished updating manually. I started out by downloading the zip from QBKing77's video straight to my phone, used Astro file manager to move it and rename it, and it wouldnt update. So I fired up my laptop and downloaded it from the link here and didnt rename it and it worked. I did have to clear the data on my Swype, which sucks because I had a lot of saved words there. Gmail and everything else seems to work well. Battery life...we will see.

I love most of ICS, as I am using it on my HP TouchPad (in conjunction with webOS), but I dont like the fact that I cant make folders in the app drawer like you can in Go Launcher Pro. That may be one of the few things that cause me to ditch the stock ICS launcher and go elsewhere.

Here you go -- How to manually update to Official FF18 ICS AND ROOT - xda-developers

For me, I did not have to rename the file, just have it on the root of my external SD card. Obvioulsly, YMMV. Hope that helps you out.

Yup, I deleted my word library. Now I'm back to spell checking like a third grader. I got my Swype to work on ICS though. Thanks!

Still waiting for it in Miami. Gonna wait to hear more battery reviews.

The manual update takes all of 5min, ppl are waiting for reviews on this that and the other thing. Good luck. If there are any "real" issues, a update update will be sent out within a few days anyway...

Here in the NYC metro and haven't received the ICS update notification...system update menus continue to come up empty.

That said, I have fully functional apps no longer available on Google Play. Will they survive an ICS update?

Awesome! That fixed it.

Got the OTA update this morning. Everything seems to be working fine for me. Do I still need to do the factory reset?

EDIT: Battery Life is not so good. Really drinks the juice.

The factory reset is probably only worth trying if the phone doesn't seem to be performing well after the update. If you're happy with it, I wouldn't bother with a reset

All I want is Chrome! Idc about anything else, I just want Chrome!

 

[nicurt]

Did the factory reset, and my battery still sux. Anyone having the same problem?

I believe that is a feature of using a different home launcher. I have Nova prime on mine and it works great.

I upgraded this morning from a push notification.
Everything seems to be ok.. but the bottom dock icons for Phone and Contacts are little Android Icons - how do I get these to show the proper Phone and Contacts icons???

 

[Rockdog97]

^^^ nevermind - I figured it out. Just long press on the icon the hit replace to choose which icon you want. Nice!
