Can someone clear up when ICS will be released?

[jamaall76]

I've heard that ICS will be pushed to most people tomorrow 6/27, or by 6/29. Then there are other people saying it could take up to 3 weeks for everyone to get the update.

I really just want to get ICS before July 4th, so that I can take a video, and pictures at the same time while fireworks are being shot off

Basically it wil be released in waves/groups of users - I think they base it either on your MEID as well/or Region of the country. It's a pretty big update so they won't just release it to the masses on all once. You just need to be patient and think positive.  Yes, history as its guide, it can take several weeks to hit everyone .. Not much you can do about that, except allow yourself to get frustrated.  Hang in there.

Where do I find the MEID? I looked in about Phone and system status and can't seem to find it.

Settings / About Phone / Status  - scroll down to MEID

Cody how do you know it's by MEID/Build Date? Is it then oldest to newest or newest to oldest?

I *believe* that's the way FROYO and GB rolled ...  Again, it goes out in "waves" ... and if you think about it, the MEID is the 1 component that MOTO/Verizon have in their DB that allows them to manage the roll-out .. Someone else mentioned some time ago that their kid getting an update and he did NOT .. (GB, I think) .. so that sort of rules out By Region, right? In any case, they will NOT Push this out to EVERYONE at the same time -- just too large of an update and will eat their servers alive and only be problematic for the recipients.

Honestly, we all need to just CHILL - get outside, breathe, enjoy some summer.  It's coming, very soon. All this stress of "WHEN WILL I GET IT" and pressing "CHECK FOR UPDATES" only adds to the anxiety. It's sort of like Xmas, right? And like it's December 20th.

Sorry ... yes, MEID changed on the MAXX to IMEI -- oh, and PS -- only 14 digits -- drop the last digit if ever asked "what's your MEID?"  ... go figure.

The MIN is your Phone number ...   🙂

Hey Cody We could bake some Cookies out in the Sun to pass our Time away as it's near 100 Here already and could reach 110 today. just kidding there aside with ya.!  but your right it's best to just go on with our Day an if the build pops up we then can be happy Campers.  

[smashogre]

Sounds good to me Cody - I was just curious. Makes more sense than randomness....

[B33]

Hey Cody on mine went in to that Area on my Maxx all i can See is the IMEI i'm not Seeing the MEID unless it's listed with Something Else..

[Cody21]

IMEI on the MAXX  ...  MEID on the DX

[B33]

As Cody Suggested jammaal it goes out in Waves i'm waiting as well but i think you should get it before then Hang tight it will be before you now it.. b33

[t1052road]

Like all other updates it will get to u based on the build date of phone. By the way I am waiting too!!!

[Cody21]

MEID = Build Date 

[usaeaton]

March 2025

[chipjonz]

Well, how can we tell if our build date is one of the earlier ones or later ones?  My build date says March 8th 2012.  I'm guessing it's one of the later ones.
