it's not out yet. there are just a couple of leaked roms floating around.

There is not an official release but you can get to gingerbread if you wish to

Droid-Life said the rumored date is 5/10.

awesomeface!
About time.
They'll probably update all the N:S's first, then move on to the N:1's.
I'd say I'm a week or two away yet, but at least it's been announced.
It's about time! Can't wait.
haha i'll probably just wait for a good rom to come out
With CM7 apparently getting the Wonk fixed tonight.
Battery percentage being merged in CM7 tonight.
And now this I must say I am excited. I am also anticipating some new open source 2d/3d drivers from Google and some hardware acceleration love for the interface on the N1.
Finally, with the XOOM having it's bootloader unlocked, awesome Android day!
Hopefully, existing root methods continue to work.
Can anyone find a downloadable link of the update file?
It will roll out at the same time

Or wait, it's you're choice bud!

What if I'm rooted and there's an OTA?

1. can I accept it if I'm on the stock rom?
2. if not, will there be a comprehensive update from the dev community with new radios and the updated rom?
We already got the update go look in dev section for glacier gingerbread leak posted by faux123, not teampokerface
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
This wasn't always true in the past on older phones, but on the MT4G and you're rooted, you won't receive OTA updates even if you're on the stock ROM.
so in other words i have to unroot to get the ota update when it comes out?

no, those are the exact words.
The new OTA will be GB MySense, we've had it for over a week. We now also have GB Sense 2.1 built specifically for our hardware. So in other words, everything tmo has to offer and SO much more is already posted in the dev section. The pecking order of AOSP>Sense>MySense pretty much means that it takes FOREVER to get updates, so official OTA's are like celebrating Christmas in July.

Question about 4.010.13 update(~15mb) and being rooted.

I just turned on my tab and it alerted me of an update. It says system update 4.010.13 and its 14.49 mb. Anyone know what this is? And I also ask because I'm rooted and wondering if I should accept the download. I know with my phone being rooted and running custom roms, I never receive updates. So I'm not sure what to do with this one since I'm rooted and if that has any effects on system updates. Any ideas what it is and if its okay to take the update.
With stock roms you still get updates. But don't update that way, it wont work if you have clockwork recovery. There is a link for the update in the general section of the iconia forum, sorry I don't have the link. So find the link and install it through cwm and you should be good. I have been running .13 for 2 months with no problems so its stable.

I looked through several pages and didn't see anything about an update. Are you talking about the general section here? Where I posted this question.
I also got this update but it fails to apply due to cwm being the recovery image. Where do the updates actually download to anyways?

I just saw this over at Android Central: http://www.androidcentral.com/acer-iconia-a500-getting-small-system-update-today
So they also are reporting it today. Why did other people receive it so early?

maybe its required for their upcoming 3.2 OTA update to install???????

Merge just got 2.3.4 (build 3.05.573.1), Shift still on 2.3.3

I wonder if this Merge update has the same bugs our 2.3.3 Evo Shift update from Sprint has like the major problem with the Sense reloading. If not, I hope that Sprint will follow very soon if this update if it doesn't have any major bugs.
Any Sprint insider info out there on if the Shift will be getting this 2.3.4 version too??? Especially if it fixes the Sense reloading issue.
What you should do is root your phone ASAP and NOT accept any OTA from HTC/Sprint while you still can. If you want to run Sense there are many Sense based ROMs you can flash.

Amen...
Ota go away!
Ota go away!
I will never again accept an ota update. That was the worst month and a half. The phone is running great now though. Try one of the sense based roms if you want to stick with sense.
im using the warm synergy and its great on my shift

And try Cyanogenmod 7 if you think sense is just shiney bloat.
Just say no to OTA's . When and IF the Shift gets another update hopefully people have learned their lesson. Don't accept OTA's. If your already rooted stay that way. Wait for updates to be worked on by the Dev's.

Just an FYI:
The last time there was a major OTA update for the Shift, I posted a working, rooted version of the update within four hours of us getting the zip file. I'm pretty sure we had a rooted Gingerbread Sense ROM available before the official update was available OTA for most of you.
I have no idea why anyone with an interest in keeping root access would ever accept an OTA update from Sprint.

Yes, many n00bz accepted the ota, but the largest group got a new phone, either upgraded or got a replacement, and it came with the ota. I had to take my phone back and that's what happened to me. With the help of otaking and scaryghoul, I got my root back, and I am now rocking miui thanks to you

Acer posts availability dates for ICS

Acer has updated their website with launch dates for ICS. Looks like they will roll ICS out on April 27 for US / Canada.
Check the Acer website for the update, I can't seem to post the link. Finally we have what we need.
Was able to post link .......

Tablet PCs Acer's A100 and A500 tablets getting Ice Cream Sandwich on April 27th
"With April nearly over, it's high time Acer came clean on when exactly its promised Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the A100 and A500 would land. Today the company did just that, revealing that US owners of either tablet can opt-in for their frozen makeovers starting on the 27th. Bad news if you're rocking AT&T's variant of the latter though, as the listing on the company's support page for the A501 says "no update planned." Those not tied Ma Bell can expect Acer's skin -- including that ring launcher -- grafted onto Google's latest, much like the A200's ICS upgrade back in February. Already pumped? Go ahead and bookmark that source link. Do it, we won't judge."

A : Das Update auf Android 4.0 ist für Ende April geplant. Allerdings gibt es hierzu noch keinen genauen Termin.

The update to Android 4.0 is planned for late April. However, there is still no exact date for this purpose.
Well, lets hope Acer has solved the Tegra driver issues that have plagued other devices running ICS like the Asus Transformer. We shall soon see.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
I am currently running the leaked version of the 4.0.3 when it first was available. I flashed it so I have no root, etc. Now that the update is coming out, will I be able to flash right over it, or do I need to root and downgrade back to 3.2.1 to be able to update to the official 4.0.3? I highly doubt I will get a OTA if Im already running the leaked 4.0.3 right? Please advise. I ask because I cant seem to find the official 3.2.1 rom and a working link for the drivers and such to be able to downgrade it.

Huh? Seems that the leaked ICS roms for the A500 had no such problems with tegra 2 unless I missed something.
Cannot find a date for us in the UK or Europe
I don't know specifically about the UK, but I guess it's just going to be the same as for Europe.
For France the website "Les Numériques" said it's starting tomorrow until the 27th of april.
http://www.lesnumeriques.com/tablet...-jour-android-4-0-ics-en-approche-n24110.html
I don't know their source, but it looks that the update started yesterday for the A100 and when we look at the Acer America's planning there is a two-day delay between the A100 ICS release and the A500 ICS release, so it seems possible for it to roll out from tomorrow on.
ahahhahahahahaha!!!!!
Finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im now F*cking love you man for tell us about it
im sure that all the a500 owners are wait to long for it

Its very unknown what will happen. If you will even get a fota notice to update or not. then if you do get the notice will it install. will it fail due to unknown version. I WOULD SAY if you are pushed the update Proceed with caution. But if there is a boot loader unlock mech in the update as expected They may not do the data checking as in the past boot loaders..
SO The answer in short is NOBODY KNOWS Until its OUT.
Hope this lack of information is Helpful.

Sounds good to me. Not that the leak isn't any good, just would rather have the official if I don't plan on rooting anyways. I'll wait and see if I read about nightmares or sucess.
Thanks for your reply
I just read on twitter (@Acer_NL) that tomorrow Acer will start unrolling official ICS for all Dutch owners. Maybe some devs could look into this..

I remember my last update was from a link, not automatically pushed to my device. So as soon as an official update is available, I think no matter where you are, you eventually will get it. I don't mind to wait a month or so more, but a definite time table makes me feel settled that we will get that.

You guys know a lot more about this stuff then I do. Im only good at following instructions. Rooted many things and many custom roms, just not on the a500. Just the leak and that's nothing special as all I did was flash the stock rom. I'll wait to hear from the pros.
Update to ICS rolls out in Belgium today!
