I dont know who to believe now. I upgraded to a DROID RAZR (before the RAZR maxx came out) and I was told at the time of the upgrade that my phone would receive ICS. Now, I'm reading that the RAZR is not on the roll-out list for ICS.. ***!!
Can anyone please tell me if this phone that I paid for, and am stuck with until 8/2013 will even get ICS like I was told in the VZWL store when I bought the phone....

What problems are you having with the phone that the ICS update will fix? Is there specific features that ICS will give your phone that you do not have now?

If the phone works fine now, what is the hurry to need to update the OS?

Yea, agreed .. be careful what you ask for ..

I would Just like to get it before i get Old an Feeble An grey Haired or the way my Dad is Aah.! Lol Lol

For those of you who say that ICS isnt that great or wonder why someone would want ICS when you have Gingerbread, you obviously havent played with ICS. I have had it on my phone for the last couple of months and, I gotta tell ya, I would never go back to GB! It looks better, I have more control over what runs and how it runs and I just like the experience so much more. Of course, there are those that are content with having whatever works, and those that want the latest and the greatest.>Edited post to comply with VZW ToS.

Never wait for Android or Verizon to release software. >Post edited to comply with VZW ToS. Any discussion on rooting, hacking, jailbreaking are not allowed on this forum< I have always doubted the release of ICS for my droid x when I had it and no my razr. Sure it says the release date is Q2 but it can easily be changed to Q3 on June 30.

Yeah I've read where people want to sue and whatever but it says on the chart for when ics is going to be released that the time is subject to change. What large company would be so rigid that they wouldnt put a disclaimer in their timetable? I wouldnt hold my breath waiting for the ota.

Counting the minutes before a VZN MOD alters some of the comments in this thread ... (ahem) ...

Cody my Manners are in check Just sharing some good Humor.! b33

>Post edited to comply with VZW ToS, discussion on moderating is not allowed< I guess the nicest way I can put it for the forums is "yes" the Razr will receive the update to ICS but I would not dwell on it at any point in time. Find something new and exciting in your life and at a later point in life when you see it pop up on your phone....that is when you will receive the update.

I used ICS on a Galaxy Nexus for 5 months and the OS rocks.....I don't understand why people say it doesn't add much to the experience. The Gmail app is vastly improved. Managing apps is crazy simple with ICS and has tabbed browsing, which makes going back to a page your were reading the day before super simple. You can have up to 16 tabs open!!! The look of the OS is clean and streamlined. I switched to a Razr Maxx because my Nexus had crappy radios and had trouble picking up a 4G or 3G connection. The only reason I switched to the Maxx was because it is being upgraded to ICS. For those who aren't sure you can go on Motorola's page and there is a list of phones being upgraded to ICS. I checked just now and the Raxr and Razr Maxx are both ON the list for receiving ICS by the end of the second quarter, which is in the next week and a half.

Me too B33!

+2 An D AZ it Sounds like the Day might be Drawing a little Closer.. Hope So I'm so Ready and i got To Maxx's that are Too but let's Hope the Turn out of the OS is a Good one.! b33

it doesn't add much for me. Sure it'll make some peoples lives a bit easier to learn how to use their phone and adds some eye candy.

Each person is different so they have different opinions. I know of people who hate the new setup.

Tidbits

FYI before someone says I haven't played with ICS... I have had a Galaxy Nexus since it was released.

genetixsamurai

I read on an android blog today that the razr and razr maxx will be getting ICS by June 30th...at least thats what it said.

Could be an the 30th is just around the Corner.. b33

I was just stating my opinion. and you're certainly entitled to yours. I'm sure ICS isn't for everyone.

I was just giving my opinion and of course I respect yours.

Hey...some of us are already bald and gray and still want ICS...lol.

Yea Buddy i still got a good Wack of Red Hair an some fire in the Stove.. b33 and i'm ready for it too.

drewbayless

I like ICS and from what I understand a lot of the benefit to the new OS are not super obvious, but under the covers it really is a good improvement.

Intriguing how VZW reps seldom, if ever, answer questions to posts. Granted there are a lot of threads and maybe not enough manpower to devote to answering all consumers. I find it comedic how they do have the time to devote to moderating posts that relate to TOS violations and/or the aforementioned items bolded by the moderators.

When inquiring about being a beta tester for software, etc., I was referred to Motorola, given the wrong number, finally got a hold of someone at Motorola who then referred me to someone else who has yet to call me back.

Incredulously inane!

ejf74: I agree with the VZW comments - TOTALLY...very interesting use/lack of use of their support folks.

As far as the soak test goes, you have to be a member of the motorola owners forum and then be lucky(?)enough for them to invite you to participate - and then actually select you once they'd invited you. I received an invite for the ICS soak but wasn't actually picked...I feel safe saying that since the soak test has started - otherwise once invited you are supposed to stay mum about it.

Well, I dread getting ICS next week. My phone works perfectly now. The hotspot issue is also perfect as is the Motorola Lapdock 500. It can't go anywhere but down from here.

Hey everyone! Motorola has updated their support page about ICS. It won't be much longer! Check it out.

i wasnt aiming that at you B33 i just hit the reply to what you put it was aimed at others on here they know who they are im still trying to learn how to do this reply on forem.

It's all Cool No Problem. Hey were all maybe over this with I.C.S wondering when an if it's Coming an what is going to be of it when it Gets here but Gingerbread has been on our Phones for a long Time. I think it's time for something New..

azpicnow

Yes, Yes we are! Starting today:

Guess since I've posted derogatory comments, now I'm excluded from the ICS update. Been checking my update software all day and nothing.

Tidbits

It does not roll out all at once. It has nothing to do with what you say on a peer to peer forum.

Yes I just read it. It only rolls out to a "selected" group of individuals i.e. beta software testers, IT professionals, etc. Meanwhile, the main masses (nobody's like me) will have to wait (what else is new) for it to come out probably in another six months.

Verizon has nothing to do with the software upgrade. It is completely incumbent upon Motorola.

Lesson learned: If I want the newest operating system for a smartphone or other device, wait until the newest device comes out so I can get the latest OS. BTW, Ice Cream Sandwich is not the newest OS either. Google and its affiliates have already begun programming another operating system whilst Ice Cream Sandwich has been on the market for almost an entire year.

Today only for a selected group of individuals. Not the mainstream, bill-paying masses.

Next week to the masses.

I think i will Update one of my Maxx's with I.C.S. but hold off on the other one just to see if any Gremlins arise..

SoccerRef12

Does anyone know if 'In Pocket' detection works in ICS? I can't find a setting for it anymore and it doesn't work automatically. :smileysad:

It may have been Left out there were allot of things added but there were allot of things Dropped in the Build or Shifted were you have to dig Deeper to find it..
