ICS on the MAXX

[blackhawk1134]

Any ideas they start the soak after the survey?
After all it was only a survey ...
They didn't promise anyone that they were involved in the soak..
Just wondering ..

It's a couple/few days.
If accepted you will get another email indicating that you need to log into a new "soak" only forum where you can discuss the issues.
You will be invited to the forum *before* the soak OTA goes out.

All goes well, I think next Wednesday is a good bet? If correct, everyone send $1 to the following address.

If the soak screws up your device ...
I don't think they'll replace it...

 

[CaptainSS]

Not sure how that would be handled, if some disclaimer with accept or not at the end, I suppose it is possible but, think about it.
Who benefits from soak tests? Not the participant, Motorola does. They would incur rediculous expenses to try and duplicate a field test for the cost of a couple possible phone failure replacements?
IF they told field testers (soak testers) "tough luck" in this community, the soak test volunteers would dry up pretty quick. I think the fact you have never heard of such a thing happening is; a nice New upgraded Phone makes a lot of sadness go away.
Anyway....

this news should put your mind at ease

DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX Ice Cream Sandwich Update Build 6.16.211 Approved by Verizon, It’s Update Time! – Droid Life

If Verizon has approved ics then why does motorola need soak testers

no idea all I can tell you that people got emails sent to them that linked to a survey that would give you a chance to be invited later to the soak, maybe plans have changed and there will be no soak or the soak email invites will go out in the next day or so and the the ICS OTA will be available to the public next week sometime

with both Motorola and Verizon updating their pages showing the Razr/Maxx with ICS it seems strange they are going to make people wait for a soak test to be completed, but imho it would be more surprising that there would be no soak for such a large update of 2.3.6 to 4.0.4

Because a large soak test of users from the public will have a better chance of revealing any problems the handful of testers at Motorola/Verizon missed or didn't experience.

I understand that but don't they usually have the soak test then announce that it's ready
