ICS Has landed in the UK! - Acer Iconia A500

Hi All
Just did a check for update via my tab, and it is, as I type, downloading the ICS Update!
Anyone else, if you havent done so, check via System Update in Settings.
As per the title, I live in the UK (Midlands).
Running stock rooted 3.2.1 Gen 1 f/ware
At last, the much talked about topic has arrived.

Do you have 3.2.1 com_gen1 or ww_gen1 ?

Yeah your right, downloading now, just outside london very near heathrow airport

Sorry for my English...
What 3.2.1 do you have com_gen1 or ww_gen1 ? Look in setup/tablet info...

I'm in the netherlands and just got the update.

wtf?!?! im in london right now checking and it says your device is up to date?

I only turned on my wifi and it pop up with update option.
It's all installed now and all my apps are still there and settings so it did not wipe/format and google+ seems to be in the rom now.
Acer ring is not in the rom or i dont know how to use it?
So far seems ok.

If your not rooted:
Did you install/update the "ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement" (Thats how its written in play store) in the last 2 months, if not do it now from the play store.
If your rooted then i have no idea.

No update for me in East Midlands,asked question re ICS release couple of days ago to Acer UK and rather negative answer.

i dont understand why im not receiving the update.

ics landed in K.S.A . updating now. finally...

I not sure then, could try powering off tab then power back on, turn wifi off before power down then once booted up turn wifi back on, but this is just a wild guess.

yeah this is bull crap lol still nothing after trying the above

1) go to http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&file=151
2)put it on a micro sd
3) boot in recovery by power+volume up/down (the closest to power button)
4) sit back and relax while tab is updating
5) ENJOY
i am now running 4.0.3 on my dad a500

Remember to insert power ac...

Nexus S 4G (D720) 4.0.4 OTA

So I've heard reports about the OTA being released for 4.0.4 and I understand it's supposed to be a 2 week rollout schedule. This isn't a thread asking when I'll get it (I haven't).
Just let me know if you guys have gotten it yet, or what you're planning on doing. Make this a fun pole.
I am uncomfortable talking about your fun pole.

Awesome, I hadn't realized it was posted on Google's page... I blindly assumed it wouldn't be because they weren't officially supporting CDMA Nexus phones off OASP anymore.

I just had a pop up that said a system update was available so I clicked install and it went into my cwm recovery and said something about it wasn't signed correct and installation was aborted. Was that the update to 4.0.4?
Edit: by the way I'm rooted and went back to gingerbread last night because I was having problems with the room I was running.

Yeh if you're running CWM you're probably not going to be able to get the OTA, it relies on the stock recovery I believe.
I have it and haven't installed it yet, can't figure out how to pull it before I apply it so others can get it. I am trying to do it without rooting if anyone can help let me know...

The update is working very well. Seems much faster and smoother.
I got the update just now. I was running a stock rooted rom and checking for updates like crazy and checking in like google was my untrusted girlfriend but no luck. Then i use one click stock to go completely back to stock and the update started instantly. Just remember to update to 2.3.7 first because stock is on 2.3.4 and reports showed error if you werent on 2.3.7.. its been since december i waited for this moment. custom roms were fun but stock 4.0.4 OtA just feels good to the soul.

What's the difference? I'm in the USA and just got the WW_GEN1 last night. Installed it from SD card and everything is working fantastic.
Thanks,

The difference is the WW is a leaked version that does not have the full implementation of what Acer is releasing as far as I know anyway. Either way people want the real OTA I am guessing so they can test root and what not.
Because the ww version is missing features and has a few bugs!!

I believe you are MISTAKEN. On this thread, on the first post at the top of the page, a guy lists his rom version after completing the OTA update and it shows a WW version. This was the OTA update from like yesterday or the day before! Can't be a leaked version. Maybe WW stands for worldwide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315683&page=20
EDIT: You are definitely wrong. There are many people who posted screens of the settings screen AFTER they did the OTA update and they are all showing the WW GEN 1 image.

Within that thread I posted is the update file that someone posted after receiving the OTA update. So that file IS the OTA update. And that's the one I'm using with no issues. Not sure if that helps.

[Q] Wi-Fi Calling

Last week Sprint extended Wi-Fi calling to the Tri-band (Spark) S4.
I had the software pushed to me this morning, and installed it.
Now I have the Wi-Fi icon in my status bar.
It disappeared when I went out, and re-appeared when I came home and connected to the wi-fi.
I'm guessing that's all I have to know about it?
Does anyone with wi-fi calling experience have any advice or caveats?

I got the update notification this morning, and clicked install, and then the phone rebooted, but into twrp; I then just rebooted back into my sytem, but I don't see anything about wifi calling so I have no idea if I have it or not. I thought it had to be activated on sprint website.
I don't think it installed since you are on a custom recovery. You have to be on stock recovery if not the update will fail.

I just realized the problem and did install the stock recover image file. Guess I have to wait until Sprint decide I'm a good girl and re-send the update. Checking for update doesn't seem to do a thing.

Actually, you can just go to your Settings --> More --> System Update --> Update Samsung Software, and after click on it, you can then redownloaded it again.
I was wondering though, does anyone know what this update file is called, because when I tried to install this, it says, "Rebooting now... - 36.0 MB" but then just sits there, and doesn't do anything. I want to know the name, so I can deleted it and then try downloading it again. A little side note is that I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4, and updated it to KitKat. It is now running 4.4.2.

Android 6.0 Final is coming!

It's official!
Owners of the EU-Version of the Honor 7 will get the update to Android Marshmallow within the next two weeks! :victory:
Beta testers will get it earlier.

Nice.... Looking forward to getting this beauty on my 7!
I have a rooted Honor 7 with twrp. Do I need to get rid of these to do the update and if so could anyone help a fella out on how to do it please?

You'll probably have to reflash stock recovery back on with Multi Tool and then hopefully it'll update manually via the dload folder method.

B313 is reported as beta version as you will find here. It´s odd you got the OTA notice for a beta.
