Ics?

Has anyone seen any news on weather or not we will be getting ics for our DROID 3? Not cm9 but the official. I poke around twitter and google but can't find anything new, its all outdated.

Motorola does not list the Droid 3 on any of their roadmaps...it is like they just forgot about the device.
I would not hold my breath but at this point there is no official response in ether direction.

We are all waiting for Motorola to issue some updates... I think they are going to make the announcements all at the same time, of which phones will and won't make the upgrade.
D3 is in good shape though, it runs almost the same CPU and GPU as Galaxy Nexus, just has half the memory. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I remember seeing somewhere that motorola is redoing their software update page on their website, I know they are working on it as we speak. I would hope that it's soon, I remember google saying that the updates should be quicker with ICS but saying and doing are two different things.

Even if Moto and Verizon don't officially give ICS to the D3, you can bet that shortly after they release it for either the Razr or Bionic that it will be ported in it's "blurred" setup to the D3.

Keep in mind that if they don't release it for the Droid 3, the "ported" version based from those won't get the new kernel that those devices get along with their ICS upgrade...

If they release just one of the phones Hash supports for ICS with a camera, that is all we really need anyway.

Evaluation & Planning
Further details to follow.
They state that some products may not make it beyond the Evaluation stage....
Categorized in 1 Gig ram devices and 512 Meg Ram devices. Bionic, Razr and Droid4 are also listed as "Evaluation & Planning".

This is good news, but dumb because all those 4 phones should have been evaluated when being made for ics compatibility

I wonder if they had to build their new blur before making the actual ICS builds for their phones.
Still I'm happy that they have at least acknowledged that the D3 might get updated to ICS maybe someday possibly a remote chance.

Interesting...the Motorola Razr is in "Development" status but the Droid Razr is still only "Evaluation and Planning" stage....
Verizon must be a big part of the problem....as even the 3G Xoom's are "Evaluation and Planning" while the WiFi Xoom already has it (and non-us WiFi are in Development).

I noticed the same thing... It looks like for the first time Canada might be getting something quicker than the US... (At least in the RAZR ICS upgrade department).
All I care about is that the RAZR upgrade code leaks so that way we can get the cameras working within CM9, then maybe I'll jump ship from stock.

that still really doesn't help as Hashcode has pointed out the dependencies the ICS camera has on the ION driver inside the ICS kernel....which are not present in the Gingerbread kernel that will still be running on the Droid 3 with CM9.
These dependencies won't go away on a Razr ICS camera....as the kernel will be getting updated along with the OS when they push it out.

I agree. All Verizon dual-core phones - even the Bionic, Razr series and D4 - are the same status. I think that Verizon's approval process and bloatware install requirements have become too unpredictable to allow for a definitive upgrade period.

It wouldn't surprise me if a working ics blur rom existed at moto and was stable. The hurdle has always been verizon. I can't understand the forced bloat concept considering most users don't use it and will root now to rid themselves of it.

New leaked dates for ICS

So I just found a leaked screen shot of Verizon's upgrade schedule to ICS!
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/04/verizon-ic-update-schedule-leaked/
So the HTC Rezound should get the OTA next week on May 9th. The RAZR and RAZR MAXX will be getting the OTA in three weeks. But no mention of the Bionic... Oh yea, they decided to give us the .904 update while they finalized ICS for the newer phones. We just got shafted again.
Then again, its tough to know what is actually going on because they have to keep everything confidential. I doubt this would be case but if VZW and MOTO were having issues with ICS on the Bionic, I would have no problem giving them more time to make it right. But from what we've seen, it doesn't appear to be that innocent.

You do realize that we are a low priority because the phone isn't selling well, right? RAZR's the front-runner, making it a priority. We'll get ours by July, if we're lucky.
And yes, I am being a little pessimistic, but Motorola and Verizon need to step up their game already. Moto's making too many devices and Verizon's forcing bloat too much. That's what is slowing us down.

re
I don't understand what is really taking that long. Development will continue on the latest and greatest but that doesn't mean we should get the shaft. I picked the bionic over the thunderbolt because I like the slightly thinner phone and longer screen even though it cost more.didn't think I would be buying a dead phone in terms of development. I should have just got the razr
I have Rooted 904 update Safestrap dual boot eclipse 2.2

My view is the Bionic is a phone they would prefer to forget. The Razrs are the hot phones so they get the priority. Maybe I woukd complain much more without ICS ROMs available.

It's interesting that on Moto's site the RAZR's are all listed as ICS upgradeable but the Bionic is not.??

There are ICS ROMs available for the Bionic. I've held off on flashing one because its my understanding that they are unstable and have missing features. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

That's a pretty big oversight, mentioning the RAZR on the Bionic page like that... Now is that the mobile site only, or is it on the full site too?

That's the full site. It says RAZR. Read the spec's on all the phones and Bionic does not have 'ICS Upgradeable'. I think we're getting swept under the rug.

If we get swept under the rug I will demand a new phone. Part of the reason I bought this phone is because it was going to be updated with ics. I believe them reniging (sp?) on their word is sufficient reason for a phone replacement on vzw.

if you click on the motorola support forums link where it says that it takes u to a page explaining which devices are getting ics and the bionic among others is on that list but yeah :/ it will prolly be a while. maybe we can get lucky with cheesecake.

Guys why is this even a topic. It's been confirmed we are getting official ICS by several sources along with moto. The ICS source code was released a little over a month ago, that helped out the devs. We have a solid device for the price and we have devs good enough to keep us happy and get us through until mid to late summer when we get the real thing.

ICS source was released 6 months ago. That doesn't help matters since we don't have an official release, an unlocked bootloader, or a real ICS kernel, however.

[Important] Please sign these petitions Make moto do things right

Please sign these petitions to make motorola atleast look at us
Motorola is very good in fake promising
But we will force them to do things!!!!
This one is to force motorola unlock the bootloaders
This one is to tell motorola that this will be the last purchase of moto phones if they dont unlock the bootloaders
This one is to make them release an ics update for defy
And finally this one is to help other people who bought their products

Sorry no, I appreciate the effort but this has been covered countless times and you should really look at the ICS thread which is stickied!. The ZTE was launched a few weeks ago with ICS, it was decided that the fact it wasnt based on the Star platform (LG phones!) that it was useless and even the way they implemented ICS was poor so nothing at all to learn. This was confirmed by a EB dev unfortunately, and many people before like Ricardo at some point and he is pretty much top dog in terms of getting an official response .
However a different point is that out of all the devices that were launched without ICS this is the first to get it, it makes sense that Nvidia must have finally given out the required documents etc to OEMs as they are all around similar time frames, Paul at Modaco has just said it is in testing and due soon and he has sources at LG along with him being a respected dev, not the crap media reporters like GSM arena who spout random poop.
So yes it looks like we will get ICS within the month since you showed that the Samsung has now got it, the Samsung Galaxy R/Z is due soon as well so its all happening now . Samsung have a bigger dev team and havent had to make massive cuts so its understandable that an LG release will take a bit longer.
Now long now!.

The exact ZTE you mentioned, the ZTE Mimosa X... please just google it or follow this link : http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/zte-grand-x-review-50007061/ there are alot of other sites covering this device and it will be on sale at virgin UK shortly.
And yes I have read this whole thread which is why I decided to reply, you are interested but unfortunately this is stuff we cant use to our benefit, we have to wait for an LG optimus phone with a t2 SoC to have hope, basically it needs to be LG star... theres more to a phone than just the SoC drivers.
The only importance about this leak is that Samsung now has a ROM for Tegra 2 based on ICS, this means that the drivers are finally being used by the OEM and implies that since the rest of the industry has taken along time that they will be nearing completion as well, we know that the o2x rom should be out fairly soon so its a question of when not if anymore.
TLR It cant help us, we need an LG phone with tegra 2 SoC to even come close to helping but best bet is to wait for O2x ICS which is on its way .

Before the end of the year - but they don't say which year. I expect the Razr M might get it before the i, as there is talk of soak tests. Being Intel may delay things a little but no one has had any conformation as yet. Not much help

I don't think Intel delaying anything. Intel published x86 jelly bean image early September.
Jelly bean for x86 is ready... It's now only a mater of Motorola to integrate it.

- is there any precise date you can give me for the release of JB for the razr I?
- Motorola has already made it available for this model, however, it is being done in batches OTA, i ask that you wait for the notification in your device
- for the razr I? really?
- or the razr HD?
- JB has been made available for the razr I and razr HD, it is predicted that it will be available for all of the razr line till march/2013
- but i see no one talking about JB being available for the razr I online, only for the HD
- when i try it myself, it says there's no update
- is there a faster way? through legitimate channels?
- as i said it is being done in batches OTA and is not available on the motorola web site
- i understand
