I don't think it has been released yet. Usually there is an email sent to the pre-release testers notifying them about the coming update. It looks like Motorola is bumping the feedback network solicitation daily so maybe they are looking to reach x amount of folks before pulling the trigger.

Also I would not update unless you will be happy with stock. There may be an unlockable bootloader within the next OTA. The electrify folks suffer from this after the 2.3.5 update (IIRC). My wife's phone will be testing the next OTA out since her phone is bone stock.

I too have read in the Development forums that this might be the 2.3.5 update the Electrify users are stuck with. I am using CM9 as my daily and to be honest, until (if) ICS is released to the Photon as an OTA, I have no interest in anything Motorola offers short of 4.0.

You are right - it does look like Moto keeps updating the Photon soak tester request thread on their forum.
Unfortunately, it's just a problem they have with their new forum software.
Mark (Moto forum mgr) has posted elsewhere that they are not looking for Photon testers (and that it's an old thread), but are looking for Atrix testers.

I quite agree - there are no signs that Moto has any release coming, but the only one I'd care about is 4.0.3.

I didn't sign up for the soak test but it did get pushed to my phone around 1 pm today, it is a forced update. But because I am rooted it put my photon into a boot loop and I had to reflash it.
So they are sending out the update as of today, wish I could have tested it.

weird have you ever updated your phone? still doesnt make sense to me as why a forced update when you havent signed up for anything .... ive signed up for the tests the same day i registered my photon on the motorola site a day or two after receiving it... when i got this phone i bought it cause it does everything i need it to do right out the box ( except for being rooted) i used to own a sprint hero was flashing and trying everything i could to get it to do half of what this phone does.... im satisfied with it in the state i have it in atm however if it was getting some new update just want to kinda know something in advance to prepare it for a smooth transition cause right now ive got it tweaked to no end... i know this contradicts my previous statement but that was when i had a hero not after owning a photon...phones great but as with everything it CAN be better

I had it updated a few months ago, but it was pretty weird getting a forced update. I wish I could've downloaded it to see what was new/fixed
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App

I didn't have that issue with getting a forced update... If this isn't a 1080p update with other bug fixes, this may just be my last Motorola phone on Sprint, because Motorola does everything for every carrier other than Sprint for high end Android Devices...
I am hoping for a Photon 2 with LTE, Tegra 3, 1080p, better 8MP camera, blah blah blah...
PLEASE, let's not start an argument in this thread about the Photon having LTE, let's not go there...

How do you know it was the soak test? (I've seen no other posts about it being rolled out)
How do you know that it was root that caused your boot issue? (Last update, many of us were rooted, update worked just fine, then we had to root again)

Because the only update that Motorola is rolling out for the photon is the soak update. And i had the same issue with my Samsung fascinate, I was rooted and had a forced update and it is stuck trying to update then the android dude with the exclamation point.

Got word about this from Mark over at the owners forum. The "pre-release testers needed" thread is an old thread. It only shows up at the top because people are seeing and looking at it, thus showing it as active. They are currently looking for testers for the Atrix not the Photon. I done a little reading on the subject and though it is possible that there may be an update in the future there is nothing currently on the table. If and when there is it may give us 1080p on the camera or maybe even ICS, nothing will happen until Sprint and Moto agree on a release. And yes, there is the possibility that the bootloader will not be unlockable anymore. What xoes tbis mean for me? I'm freezing the updater and upgrader apk's and a few other items with TiBu. Only other thing cor me will be a custom ROM or ICS when it's to a point where it meets my needs as a DD.
I'm a MoPho-er

so no update for us?

I've heard that there is a beta test for the testing group...

I haven't heard such a thing. Motorola has yet to release an official ICS update for even the devices that were promised the ICS update like the Droid RaZR, bionic, xoom 2, etc so hopefully that is good news and hope for the Photon for ICS in the future.

It's just bug fixes, and possibly 1080p...
This is only Android 2.3.5, we currently have 2.3.4, please relax, lol, this is not ICS...
EDIT: The same thing the Electrify got, plus our bootloaders will be unlockable, (for now, anyways.)

But why would Motorola continue to make updates to gingerbread when they could be focusing on ICS? This makes it sound like the Photon won't get ICS. Also why just 2.3.5 and not the latest baseline in 2.3.7? Kinda of a dumb move by Motorola.

Totally agree with you. I have absolutely zero interest in 2.3.5 unless it unlocks the bootloader at the same time. Otherwise I'll wait for Moto or CM to release ICS.

Read the post that is 3 above yours.

I got a notification of an update approximately 10 days ago. I declined the same because I was in the middle of something else at the time & hoped to investigate the same before installing it. However since declining the same I have not been able to locate or retrieve the same.

and with this here is the fall of my beloved giant MOTO in the ring... and gladly i am moving forward with other players here...
I would rather like to have a pretty decent phone with the same (or i can say advanced) hardware and steal and plastic body by HTC or Sony, instead of this ultra cool Kevlar jacket n slim sexy waistline by a company who is continuously yelling at me "I-FCUKED-YOU-AGAIN".
really guys i don't know, firstly there was the greed for money(with the DEV UL edition) for that unlockable bootloader issue, now it i-dont-know-how hardware issue for delayed ICS announcement and lol who knows next time when i might ring up moto's customer care for some hardware issue's then there may be a weather problem(it might be too sunny or too frosty to look at my problem that time).
really hasta-la-vista baby.
Unlock our bootloader, ICS will come faster.
watch next week they will say that they have ICS running on the razr but you have to buy a new razr for it to work.
Motorola...why..do..you..do..this? I own a Motorola Xoom and it's not like this, there is already ICS for US version and EU verison to follow. I am looking to buy a Razr but after reading the forum and now this I am very sceptical. It's good if Razr get the update beyond 4.0

NOOO.. if samsung released the RAZR then there would be no "ultra cool Kevlar jacket n slim sexy waistline" as BSOD said.. and it would be "cheap looking plasticky smartphone" instead..

One of the key features of ICS is supposed to be that it uses hardware acceleration, i.e. it utilises the hardware, rather than the software wherever possible.
Sure, you could get a version of ICS quickly that won't run optimally on the RAZR hardware. But what is the point of that? I would rather give them a month or two more, and have something that utilises the RAZR chipset properly, which will lead to a better user experience and better battery life.
@milesg
The ICS beta that I've leaked can use HW acceleration just fine (and fast).
The only missing thing is WebTop, but it has even got MotoCast/Blur.

Well Webtop is hardware... perhaps they've been having problems getting that to work with the h/w acceleration...
Motorola know that getting ICS onto RAZR and RAZR MAXX will sell a load more handsets, so why would they not be working as hard as possible to get this update ready? They don't have a handset running 4.0, so it's not like they are doing this to push some other new thing, they will be losing money to the Gnex (and the SGSII from March...)
I read it differently I guess. No where in that blog post did I read "no hope" for ICS on the Razr. It made sense to me that Motorola would have to tweek things and then turn it over to VZW and let them add on all their bloat on top of Motorola's bloat. Then all of VZW's different markets have to be tested as well. When will VZW even allow the update is anybodys guess. Maybe VZW has decided they want to sell more Galaxy Nexus phones before releasing ICS on Razr. They may have requested Motorola to just sit on it for now, who knows. But I imagine VZW will do things in a time frame that will put the most money in their pockets, and if that is delaying ICS in the hopes that all of us Razr users will dish out more money and buy the Galaxy Nexus just to get ICS, they'll wait. I expect when the sales of new Galaxy Nexus flattens out, or the pre-purchased supply begins to dwindle, suddenly ICS will show up for several devices.
I tend to blame Verizon more so than Motorola.
its just moto saying they cant get blur to work on ICS >_>

....Same reply
And anyway, HW acceleration is actually working fine on the current ICS release and the X11 drivers are another whole thing. Even if HW acceleration wasn't working on ICS, it will work on X11.
Oh, obviously I haven't forgot that ICS is based on Linux 3.0 but anyway there isn't any _REAL_ reason for HW acceleration to be not working on X11.
Drivers from 2.6 are easily portable to 3.x and TI has already ported everything. (OMAP Drivers porting isn't Moto's job)

A lot more people buy the GNex for ICS than the bootloader - if they wanted a phone that was good for custom ROMs, they have a wealth to choose from.
If they want a phone in Europe or NA that is shipped running 4.0, they have one choice... GNex.
We'll get ICS, I'm sure, but it might take a month or two longer.

I flashed back to GB in anticipation of the OTA this week and I absolutely hate my phone now. Doesn't help I forgot to backup my TiBu before I did and now it just sucks. Can't wait for the ICS OTA so I can get my phone back to that rockin' state I had it in. And then see what new ROMs pop up.
i personally like it, not gonna switch back. although the scrolling for me leaves a wee bit more to be desired. hopefully they fix that in the official release.

yea i know what you mean with the scrolling, then again on gingerbread when i scroll real fast to a contact, it would over scroll lol so i kinda like the new scroll action, but like i said, other than that...its pretty F'in sweet and have no desire to go back...
quick question for anyone that might know though...i used Matts Utility 1.7 to upgrade to the official .211 update....will i be able to either get the OTA or at least jump back to stock .181 and then manually update to the OTA ??? if so, can anyone and everyone that knows the simplest and safest way for a noob lol...i did use Matts Utility 1.6 to revert back to my stock .181 earlier today before i upgraded and that seemed fine....will this still work if im on the .211 leak ? any and all answers much appreciated!
and i think i should be slapped with a few more thanks...especially from the testers and developers of this amazing upgrade!
You won't be able to go back to GB, at least for the foreseeable future. With that said, if they do actually make changes from 211 leak/soak to the OTA, then what will have to happen if you're on the 211 leak is basically we will have to install the OTA like every other leak. Then once the OTA is installed we just have to wait for VZW to push the next update and it will update like any other OTA. I doubt they change anything however. The bugs that do exist are minor/few and far between.

It's not a soak test release stop spreading that misinformation.
It's being sent out in limited quantities...that doesn't mean it's a stress test. It means they don't want to bog down their servers by sending out a few million updates at once and having people complain. I wasn't part of *any* stress/soak test list and I got the update.

Hello again, everyone.
Later tonight we'll end our soak test. A phased roll out of the software will begin soon.
We are deeply grateful for the feedback and information provided. This was by far the largest soak we've ever attempted. We didn't really know what it would be like to have so many participants. We learned a lot and have already figured out some better ways to do things in the future. We appreciate you hanging in there as as we ploughed through all the information you provided.
To those of you who did not get the update or were unable to access the private community -- your experience has also helped us find and correct issues. We'll be better next time based on your feedback.
Please remember that the processes, information and communications shared during this soak test are confidential and not to be shared outside of this private community.
However, we do hope you will return to the public RAZR/RAZR Maxx community -- here and on other sites -- and help your fellow owners make the transition to Ice Cream Sandwich.
We will leave the private community up for a short time, but once you log out it will no longer be available to you. Soon we will close the threads to comments. We will continue to work with some of you and reach out if we need additional information.
Thank you so, so much. Hope to see you again in soaks. We rely on your energy, intelligence and enthusiasm.

Can we fix all the camera issues with JB/ICS with the release of the atrix HD

The Atrix Hd has been released for ATT and the Electrify has been released for US Cellular. Both of these phones have been given ICS in the stock form, i don't know about the boot loader but my thought is that with them both being Motorola and both of them being close to the photon, if we were to get a dump from one of them if not both of them we would be able to get the drivers and everything else that we would need to make all of the custom roms that are having camera issues and stuff get fixed. Has anyone taken a look at them and seen if we can use them?

According to Bill, he and Joker tried to implement the Grand X libs before but had trouble doing so. He informed me he was going to take a second look at it when it comes back from vacation. That phone seems to be our best bet at the moment. It's probably a lost cause though, unless Moto backs out for whatever reason those ICS drivers should be dropping for the Atrix very very soon.

On this issue, didn't I see somewhere where HTC was releasing plane-jane ROMs for some of their devices? I wonder if petitioning for one of those would get a response?

I know source code is most desirable, but a finished ROM would help, too. Yeah?

No, not a leak. I flashed plenty of ROMs based on leaks to my Dinc2.
So it was in this article here, which is about HTC setting a 512MB RAM bar for their devices to receive JB.
I thought this quote was interesting: “Chou and Co. also noted that they plan to post "generic development ROMs" of Jelly Bean for the One X and One S to its developer website as soon as they're fully baked. “
So if they are posting "generic development ROMs" why can’t they do that for devices like the Dinc2? Anyway, just something to think about asking for since they are obviously putting them together.

Yes, because that makes sense.... completely not true. Remember the LG G3? That got updates through android 6 I believe and it started at 4.4 and this phone is definitely able to run 7, so I don't really understand why you would say that.
Because Verizon's lack of interest in this phone at this point. We can't even get 6.1

Best case puts unlocked getting it from LG in March of this year. That means maybe, MAYBE a Verizon update at the end of the year. We are just falling to far down the developmental pipeline at this point.

6.1 has nothing to do with it. Do any of the v10's have 6.1? That doesn't have anything to do with Verizon, I've never heard of the v10 getting 6.1 at all. Also, maybe the xda dev pipeline but that doesn't mean we won't see an N update in march. You guys are negative towards this, look at the other lg phones that go the updates, popular or not.
Hello, I have a question : I am still on 23A and when I go to check it says it's up to date. I am not using verizon sim, I am on europe.
I have the 25A KDZ if anyone is interested.
Since taking the 25A update, my wife can no longer install apps I create in Tasker for her. No idea why not. They install on my V20 just fine. Tested installing apps from Amazon and they install just fine on her phone.
Mystified and frustrated.
** Update **
The reason for my inability to install the aforementioned apps had nothing to do with the update and apparently everything to do with the icons I was using for the exported apps. Once I changed the icons, the problem went away. Strange, though, considering the same apps and icons worked just fine on my V20.

I believe that all of us international users of VS990 are really interested in getting the file. Thanks!

Will this patch work with unlocked Verizon LG v10 North America? If so I would like the new patch. Another question, do I need to update each security patch in order or can I jump to the latest patch and it will install everything from previous patches?
Thanks

You are no on Verizon's network. This is being pushed from Verizon over their network or from their servers, you are also in Europe and this was released US only at this time.
