I wouldn't expect the Canadian update any time soon. The google buyout seems to have put a hold on the android updates Moto was releasing for non-US customers. Just last week on the official moto forums we were told if we want 'early' access to it, we should sign up for their testing program. What does that tell you? Nevermind it's almost the end of august now.....
Rob
I!m in canada as well, just root and install the hammerhead rom that's around. I have a smoother device for it and have absolutely no regrets!
Some user on the official moto forums said the Canadian OTA 3.1 update is live now with working sd card support (r/w). I can't test, I returned my Xoom and got a Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Rob
Canadian 3.1 OTA updates are indeed live. My 3.0.1 Xoom just now offered to upgrade itself to 3.1.
"Your tablet has been upgraded to 64.0.20.en.CA version"
Yup mine just updated today. Crazy timing
were you guys rooted with tiamat kernel when you updated?
I got the update but I hit "later" to make sure I:
1) don't lose root
2) don't brick due to custom kernel
Any thoughts?

Don't try to OTA update if you are rooted/with or without a custom kernel. Being just unlocked appears to be ok.
The Tiamat ROM has been known to cause some issues with the OTA updates, but that is due to the nature of the device being rooted. A few members have experienced bootloader issues where the device will stay stuck on the Honeycomb boot animation.
When that happens, all you can do is wipe and restore. You shouldn't have to do that now seeing that both Tiamat and the official US ROM are now up to 3.2.
I'm not on the Tiamat ROM, I have the kernel only (3.0.1 official from google, bootloader unlocked, rooted and running Tiamat Kernel 1.3.2)
I should wait then?

I would say yes, don't do it, but if you want to experiment, just make sure you are prepared to come back from a soft brick.
yeah I'll wait I hate starting over... I'll wait for a patched update.zip or something!
Thanks (hey at least 3.1 for Canada is finally out... 3.2 is out for the U.S. and 4.0 is coming... geez)
Can't wait for 4.0.

I can confirm this. Downloading nao!
For those of us who rooted our device and want to update OTA, what are our options? If I wipe my device, does that eliminate root which will allow me to update OTA?
Any news on 3.1 Canada? I get a popup every couple of hours and I hit "LATER" everytime ... waiting for the right way to do it
Perhaps this post is premature but I am wondering if anyone has taken the OTA 4.0 update then flashed back to 3.2.1 yet? I haven't taken the update for my a500 yet but I have read that it will come with a new bootloader so I'd like to know what my options are before doing so.
Best regards,
Bob
There is no ICS OTA for the Iconia yet. Therefore, nothing to take.

Xoom got theirs, Transformer gets theirs in February, and if we get ICS at all, we'll be lucky!
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."

A500 ICS-udate for german users in late april confirmed
I've got the following mail from support.
Antwort (Acer Online-Unterstützungscenter) - 18/04/2012 13:42
A : Das Update auf Android 4.0 ist für Ende April geplant. Allerdings gibt es hierzu noch keinen genauen Termin.
Translate:
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!

I'm using a 1st gen Iconia a500 and live in Vancouver BC (CANADA) and have yet to see an update. I know a few people in the area with ICS already, but why do some get it and others don't? (would be nice to have a smoother running device. )
I'm in the Interior of BC, Canada with a 1st gen A500 and I haven't received ICS either. I phoned Acer Support today - they said that the update is being released in batches and that April 27 is the first day of a one week release window.
Looks like it's possible we may not receive it until as late as May 3 or 4.
Same hear for me in the U.K 1st GEN a500 still no update

If you haven't, make sure you visit the Play Store to D/L & install the recently released Acer Enhancement to the Acer Update Readiness Tool. It is a requirement for the ICS OTA notification.

Interior here as well and I got it.
Personally I would try and get the update tool uninstalled and reinstalled and see if that works.
Wifes tab was on HC 3.0.1 from time of purchase up until I rooted it, updated to 3.1, then 3.2, 3.2.1 and finally to ICS (all in one day) which entailed updating the Iconia Update tool after each successfull OS upgrade.

Settings About tablet and its under Build number will say COM_GEN1 OR GEN2
Would you have a special Canadian or French Canadian version or the stock English versions which you could upgrade yourself by grabbing the update.zip file floating around.
I also have a GEN1 A500 from Canada, specifically build Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1 and I got impatient waiting for the OTA update so I installed the Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1 update from the bottom of the first post on this page. I had no problems at all completeling the update and everything seems to be working fine with ICS.
The Op is actually linking straight to Acer's official update server with the ICS links in that post. Remember that if you choose to download these official ROM's you'll need to decrypt the downloaded zip file with the tool mentioned at the top of the first post and follow the rest of the instructions in the How to use full/update package in that first post as well.
Anyone else in the US not getting the OTA in their Gen2? Wondering if I just have to go the manual route. I've been out of the loop lately, is there the OTA update available to download and use stock recovery to update?
Thanks,
Steve
Do you have the Iconia Update Enhancement installed from the play store?
I was also not getting, talked to the support few minutes back, they suggested factory reset, I said no thanks and did the manual upgrade downloading the zip file from here.
Wife got the update the day it came out. Make sure you have the acer update app. Location Northeast GA. Both hers and mine were gen 2 HC devices.

I went through about 3 updates before my device told me that I was up to date on honeycomb. I found a link to acer website with an update apk and it's now downloading more updates. I'm hoping upon next reboot I'll have ics.

I dont mean to hijack this thread but I have a gen2 device with the gen1 ICS leak from here and bootloaders. Is there any difference with going to a stock ICS update from Acer versus what I have already. and if I wanted to go this route (because Im an idiot and its a long story) where can I get a gen2 release of HC to do the updates or is there a flashable gen2 OS somewhere
Nevermind on that I got the info I was looking for
Sorry for the kate response but after installing the update enhancement , everything went fine.... thanks for the suggestion! Mustard missed that somewhere.
