Official OTA UPDATE rollout right now!

Did you receive the notification prior to the download informing you you would be receiving ICS within a week?

 

looks like we're all gonna get the notification before we get the ics, the question is, are they going to release the batches every third day or every day that is the question

 

Woke up this morning at 7 am with a notification of the update 15 min later was on my ICS home screen fully booted up. Got a notification last night at 7pm i would be receiving the update this week.

 

I'm in Northern New Jersey and got the update 8:30 this morning.

I'm not sure how to disable 4g now. Scrolling doesn't seem as smooth.

 

Last night around 7pm.

 

Disabling 4G is somewhat of a difficulty, but you can download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.andirc.lteonfoff&feature=search_result (yes it says Thunderbolt, but works with RAZR), and it will take you to a menu of "Phone info". Scroll down the menu and just before the "Turn off radio" button is a line with a drop-down. It should be on "LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA" by default, which is all the radios, including Global (GSM). To change to 3G only, select "CDMA auto (PRL)". To select everything but GSM (including LTE), select "LTE/CDMA/EvDo", then just hit the Back button or Home button on the phone.

 

Will make a note of this, thanks

Boise Idaho - Not that local has anything to do with it... Just in case anyone is curious...

I got the update notification message yesterday afternoon. This morning around 9am MST I received the update notifcation to begin. I am rooted so intended to cancel the download until I knew better how to deal with it, but accidently hit accept and it began the download. DOH... I intended to make a back up of my mileage log before I started, but failed to do so.

Anyway, the download completed and the phone re-booted. Since then, I am stuck on a notificaiton stating "Android is upgrading..." with a line and a spinner (not spinning) and "Starting applications. the phone has been stuck there for ~ an hour (1.25 hours).

Any help would be appreciated. I would like to be able to recover my mileage data from my phone, but if it is gone, then I suppose that is my fault. I am a fairly experienced phone "tweeker" and follow directions pretty well... Usually... LOL

WOW, while I was sitting here typing this, my phone "Woke up" with ICS... I suppose it just takes some time. For those of you who are unaware, that is why you should never begin an upgrade with less than 100% battery.

UPDATE - I was presented with a dialog:
Update Status
blue line
The software update was successful!
Your phone has been upgraded to 6.16.211.en.US version... Yay...
During the update by battery went from 100% to 50%...

 

Bump. I want to keep this thread at the top so we can get reports of OTA arrivals, specifically.

Unfortunately over the years, this forum often allows for ridiculously long 168 page threads that are too general on newsy topics, as is the case with the arrival of the Razr OTA of ICS. Hard to dig through and get the info you want. I prefer segmented threads so you can find the info you need, for example: one on OTA arrival reports and circumstances of the download, another on 4g/3G toggling issues, another on the homescreen/app drawer changes, etc.

 

Nothing yet in South Florida.

 

nothing here yet either. Im pretty patient so it doesnt bother me much
