ICS rumblings for Razr??

[blackjaguar25]

According to https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c, the Droid Razr and Motorola Razr(I am assuming the Droid Razr is the US branded version), will be upgraded to Ics. I would assume it is more cost effective for Motorola to release all of the updates together. Having said that, wireless carriers are also part of the equation and I wonder if part or all of the delay is due to one or more of the carriers having specific issues with what Motorola sent them.

I was personally surprised to see an app built into the leaked ICS that allows you to set up an artificial data cap to prevent data overages. I am willing to bet real money that the a final ota update for verizon customers doesnt have it.

I will bet you every dime you have on that one.

Well I can't wait for this update. Hopefully it does come to Rogers in Canada.

I've had some more time to play with is and I can't wait for the ota version. Pretty much every complaint I had with my Razr is gone. The "shutter"lag is almost nil after the update. Before, a buddy of mine was showing off his dhiny new iPhone 4s and he was able to take two or three pictures to my one. We did our test again today and if his iPhone was faster at taking pictures than my ics razr, neither of us could tell.

As I mentioned before, everything appears more responsive, but it also feels more responsive. Switching between apps is nearly seamless and I've even noticed that web browsing is also snappier.

Anther gripe was that, while I could use apps in landscape mode, I could only do it with the buttons on the right side. The same was true with the web browser. While a minor annoyance, I am happy to see that I can now flip my razr to any orientation and direction I wish and the app I am using will follow. They even fixed a wifi disconnect issue I was having with the wifi at work!

Needless to say, I am a fan.

Q2. April may June. Start complaining around 7-4 independence day. Lol

3 days (may 21) to see if DROIDlife's Verizon image leak is true... or another stupid made up pic like the last one.

You hit the nail right on the head, androidcore. And that reference to the last false start screen shot made me laugh. Well played.

 

[bear_lx]

this is a big update, i think it will improve this device significantly. battery life, UI, ect... im really anticipating this one.

my Moto rep told me last night that VZW has all the power for the update. Moto apparently released the ICS build to them in Feb for an April release which VZW pushed back to who knows when. he did confirm he's heard the same rumor of today. May 21.

all I know is I've tried to pull an update since midnight with no luck

 

[Sean1431]

I joined the mfn and never got asked to do a soak test....so I highly doubt we will be seeing an update today or any time soon...

I would think that if there was an update today we would have already heard about people doing a soak test

There was a leak posted on a couple other forums (not sure if I'm allowed to reference them here) yesterday. The build is .206 and was updated from 203 & 204 which were posted Saturday. The rumor has the rollout STARTING today, with possible completion on the 23rd or 24th.

If not today, I have a feeling we'll be seeing the OTA soon...

@dbeger14

The second Tuesday of next week.

Not trying to be "that guy", just not looking forward to rolling back to .173 so that I can side load the first leak again. I'd love to see a date released so I'd know if it's even worth going through the trouble.

 

[androidcore]

Well... its 5-22... my birthday. I'm 33... Checked my Bro's Razr (since I cant..im stuck on 84 ICS leak)... and wouldnt you have guessed it... AGAIN..... STILL no official ICS.... no official ICS OTA update in settings... I got no Soak Invite from MFN.... and if there WAS a Soak underway, there would be 2-3 ICS threads from orgasmic Razr users in all Android forums across all websites since no 1 soak tester can actually keep their mouth shut as obligated. lol

oh well... Im canceling my subscriptions to Droid-Life now...

Fool me once, shame on you....... Fool me Twice, Shame on ME!



My ICS prediction.... 11:59 PM EST, Saturday, June 30th, 2012... the last minute of the last day of Q2............ or.... 12-21-2012... LMAO

I wonder if the buy out from Google has hampered the ICS Update??

Good point.

Make no mistake. Verizon is hampering the ICS update. Moto gave Verizon the first ICS build over 3 months ago...
