2.3.4 is not out on Verizon yet, the only way to upgrade to that is to root your phone.
As for ICS while Sony will release it for the Play in general, its up to Verizon to release for the phone. Based on how they basically forgot about it recently, and past performance, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I personally think they will release it, they released FroYo way after it was released for the LG Ally. But only time will tell...

thanks! do you no when 2.3.4 will be out on Verizon?

Is there a way to get the ICS update without unlocking your bootloader? Can you point me to a guide?
My R800x is rooted, but not unlocked.

As stated before, there is high doubts that 2.3.4 will ever see a release for our phone. More than likely Verizon (if they decide to do it) will skip straight to ICS if and when they decide to make it available.

Off the top of my head, this is the only one I've tried in the past:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416470
If you're looking for the legit update, we haven't gotten it yet; everything you see is simply based off of ROMs that are themed to ICS.

Android 2.3 announced today by Google !!

http://developer.android.com/index.html
Google announced android 2.3 .. Is our x10 hardware compatible to host Gingerbread?
Once the bootloader is cracked for sure. But they'll have a hard time making camera drivers and they'll have to wait for Sony to release multi touch and reverse engineer it for 2.3, but everything else will be able to run fine.

Yes it was released and my oldest son's Motorola Droid on Verizon already has the upgrade installed OTA when he booted up yesterday.
Isn't it grand waiting for SE and AT&T to get their collective heads out of their asses and push an upgrade out that is two revisions and eleven months behind.
Pathetic.

Just pried it out of his hands and sw info states 2.2.1. Must be a small 2.2 upgrade. My mistake. Still doesn't provide an excuse for the ridiculous delay w/SE & AT&T.

it is going to happen the nexus one can run it. Our phone is much more powerful that the the nexus S is very similar. They pulled back froyo. All signs point to us getting it but it will most likely take 2 months for binaries to be released and a build to be compiled. And I don't want to hear the nah sayers going on and on that you can't trust samsung blah blah blah... Even noob said we are getting it and I know he is on this inside track.

We will probably get it around the time that 3.0 comes out or 3.1 usually how it works. 2.3 comes out now..sprint releases 2.2 to epics... at least we get updates faster than most US carriers do. Look at evo. Sprint plz OTA 2.2 already.

Droid already has 2.2.1 - boss man got it last thursday OTA i think. He isn't rooted.
Droid X went live on the 10th as well.
All in all google is going to greater lengths to help push out the updates faster. Its one of the biggest gripes with android. Look to the gingerbread update to change things. After gingerbread android os will be much more uniform.

I expect things to change greatly once 3.0 comes out..this is when release cycles for android will slow down thus giving manufacturers more leeway..
Agreed. I think they are planning on phazing out UI overlays as well when 3.0 comes out. No more motoblur, sense, tw, etc. For the tech geek we like it because we port things over from other platforms. But the Ios boobs they just want something shiny and homoginized, and that's probably the demographing android wants to really take on

Utter misinformation.
As of today, Samsung's U.S. Galaxy S support site on Twitter still denies that there has been any such announcement.
@JoeBatson no official statement about updating US Galaxy S line to 2.3 has been made & we aren't prepared to discuss this at this time.

Android 2.3.5 Update for AT&T User?

Hi guys,
what do you think? Will AT&T release a Android 2.3.5 update? I heard nothing about it so I am asking. I only heard about the Bell Android 2.3.5 Update.
Thanks!
Don't see why not since it's pretty minor, and the Samsung version has been out for a while.
ICS is the real mystery question for the Atrix... (Especially with better dual-core support)

I'm really hoping for ICS since I haven't unlocked my bootloader. If ICS will come to the Atrix then I won't unlock. If it won't then I will.

I'm confused what an OTA update (like ice cream sandwhich) would have to do with unlocking your bootloader? By flashing back to a stock build (via an .sbf as long as you have gingerbread already it won't brick you) you can receive OTA updates again. Why not unlock your bootloader and play around anyway?
Or just wait for 2.3.5 ROMs or 2.3.5 fruitcake.

ICS Upgrade

Thought id start this thread to create a bit of build up to the upgrade, im a regular arc user so ive still got another month or so to wait but il feel good if the arc s gets theirs on time, which being the end of march could be any day now. Sony seem to be quiet on this, anyone heard anything?
I'm hoping they release the ICS for arc s by the end of this weekend, the suspense is killing me slowly lol. I check this forum and sony blog post every morning.
As they said late March to early April, that could mean the update would between 15 March and 15 April.
Would love to get an update from SE on the progress for the first phones that are due upgrades.
Clearly feeling a little bit left out now that Samsung are releasing theirs.
Hasn't HTC also updated a device?
Sony is behind - again
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
I'm very enthusiastic about ICS too but doesn't it mean that we won't have our devices rooted anymore? I've linked tons of apps via Link2SD and my Arc don't have enough space to hold them all.
I'm worried when we will have to upgrade to ICS, AFAIK a lot of apps out there is not yet compatible with ICS, until the developer will upgrade the app.
But I'm also Excited because lots of optimization and features will be available to us, specially that Adreno 205 Driver will be included(I read it somewhere)

I think otherwise. Almost every app I tried is fully compatible with ICS.
Also, Sony has announced the neo L in China and it launches with ICS on board. It uses the same chipset as the arc (MSM8255). Perhaps we could port it when someone gets and uploads the filesystem dump, that is, if the device comes out sooner than the ICS update.
There's nothing on PTCRB yet and updates usually appear on here well in advance of the update actually being pushed. So it could still be weeks away assuming they haven't had any serious issues they need to fix first. It's been 4 weeks since the beta and not a peep from the Sony devs here on XDA which is a shame.

I don't think it will be a problem. I also have an Asus Transformer TF101, and that got ICS a few weeks back, no application compatibility problems, and it's REALLY quick (it was quick before anyway).

By XDA sure, by sony no. I doubt they will release another major update after this. Look at the X10, got gingerbread update and that was it.

There's 50% chance they will do it and if they do, Jelly Bean will probably be the last major update.

Im totally positive that they will help for JB, and judging from Android's past behavior with updates, im about 75% sure that they will also be good for Lime Pie (if thats the name for the next release of Android. These drivers are going to be good for Android 4.x.x, they will stop working for sure on Android 5.0. Thats going to be the end for the Atrix, at least with drivers. Thats just my guess tough.

I have to agree with some of the others. My next upgrade is in February. Even I had an upgrade now I wouldn't use it yet. My Atrix has be great and there isn't any phone at the moment that really jumps out at me and says get me. The Atrix HD came close for me (want to stick with Moto because I love their hardware and software is finally starting to catch up). The only things that bother me with the Atrix HD is that because it is very similar to the Razr I'm worried about the battery life. Also, there is no Webtop. Webtop 3.0 was looking good and doesn't tax the cpu like the current version since essentially it is running in tablet mode. I'm kind of holding out to see if Moto does with the Atrix HD what they did with the Razr. The Atrix HD Maxx maybe. I would hope that they bring Webtop 3.0 to it and bring back the fingerprint scanner (fingerprint scanner not a deal breaker). Sorry got a bit off topic.
Hope we will see an OG Atrix leak soon.
Some people only want what they don't have. Don't have ICS therefore they want it.
