ICS next week?

[neil154]

I have been using Teamviewer for at least a year from PC to PC and also on my Bionic. My PCs are all behind routers. The use of Teamviewer on the Android is much more complicated than using it on a PC. Use on a PC is nearly perfect. There is essentially nothing that I can't do remotely except for turn the mcahine on and their tech support is good.

Check out the Splashtop series of apps. They are phone to PC, but not visa versa, I think.

Anyway, to pull this thread back on track: chewing out Motorola over their poor handing on this situation.

Moto's forums have definitely exploded over this:

Hopefully they will hear us.

The official word from Motorola was we would get ICS in "early 3rd quarter"... But it's too late for that as we are already going into late 3rd quarter

I'm hearing it could be September before OTA. Just speculation so treat it as such.

Where did you see that SamuriHL?

Somehow I suspect you could be well right.

 

[SamuriHL]

Not publicly. If I were a betting man, and as I've said before, I'm definitely not....I'd place the soak/ota between Sept 7 and Sept 17. I'd be *SHOCKED* if it were earlier than that. If I had to guess, I'd say it'd be toward the end of that spectrum but I don't know how much pressure VZW is under to certify it and release it. Yes, I realize that is counter to prevailing wisdom. Yes, I know that such a delay REALLY sucks. But, all the info I have points to that being the best guess I can make. Beats me if my info is accurate. I'm assuming it is, but, take it as rumor and speculation only at this point. I have NOTHING confirmed in any way shape or form.

I hope it comes sooner rather than later for those people who are experiencing data drops or other issues that ICS will hopefully fix. For my part, I'm OK with September, especially if it means more kinks get worked out! The one month difference doesn't seem like a huge deal - again, unless you're waiting for relief from a problem of some kind.

 

[SamuriHL]

Yea, let's hope it's a very stable build given all the delays. It should be. 238 is pretty good. Definitely a few minor issues, but, nothing too earth shattering. Any new builds should fix any remaining issues I would think.

 

[Mooncatt]

Ok, I'm thinking of biting the bullet on this and going with one of the leaks. I was willing to wait for the first deadline, but with the increase of 4G areas around me, I've been seeing more data drop issues in those new areas. I'm pretty sure installing 232 is the best option right now to get back the OTA path. Just got to go poke around these threads some more and look at the House of Bionic stuff some more to make sure I can get back on the OTA path without data loss.

 

[SamuriHL]

Getting back to OTA path without data loss is tricky. You absolutely do NOT want to downgrade to 905, boot into it with ICS data, and then attempt to take an OTA. Personally, I'm going to factory reset when we get to OTA to give a nice clean start on a brand new OS. The keeping data thing is convenient for moving from leak to leak...but in the end, you want a fresh install to get the most out of the OTA. I personally feel that goes for those still on GB, too. Yea, the OTA will upgrade it, but, in the end nuking the baggage is a good way to go.

 

[jcdubois]

Until you see a soak test, I wouldn't hold my breath. I was on the .905 soak and the full OTA occured about a week later.

 

[Mooncatt]

Ugh. Why can't they make things simple. If it wasn't for game save data, resetting my phone wouldn't be a huge deal. Don't want to loose atoll that work. DX

 

[SamuriHL]

You can backup and restore apps. Just not system data.

 

[Mooncatt]

That requires root and something like Titanium, right? And is there a one stop shop thread (here or otherwise) listing the exact steps to do this? Best I've found is bits and pieces of what's needed at various stages.

 

[SamuriHL]

I personally have switched from TiBu to Rom Toolbox Pro but yes you need root. It's not hard to do though.

 

[Lee_Bo]

.232 has been rock solid for me. The only issue I'm currently having is about 50% of the time when I remove the phone from the cradle, either desktop or car, the phone locks for about 20 seconds and reboots. Not really a big deal, just annoying.

But yes, I'm ready for the official release. Maybe that will fix the rebooting issue.

 

[dragonking37]

.232 been very good to me. I could wait till September.

I've also taken the trip and flashed ICS. It was so easy I'm embarrassed to say I was nervous about it. I can tell you that it did fix my data drop problems though I;m only on day 3 of using .232. I did see an app calling My Backup Pro that doesn't require root. I ended up deciding that I'm just going to do a factory reset before I take the OTA, so I haven't used the app.

There's no harm in backing up your apps. Just don't restore system data when you do the factory reset and you're good to go.
