One more for the unconfirmed rumor mill. Posts are starting to show up on the Moto Customer Care site by users who are starting to receive the OTA from VZW:
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/358e9e30e9
I think this is absolutely true because I've been sitting on a virgin Maxx replacement. Last night I got tired of waiting for the OTA and ended up taking two hours to reinstall all of my apps, adjust all of my phone settings exactly like I like them, pair my BT devices, etc from scratch. Since I'll wipe my device and start over after the OTA -- just my preference to have a completely clean system to build on -- it absolutely figures the roll out will start as soon as I was done with it.
Sorry to all -- if I knew Moto and VZW was waiting on me to set up my phone before pushing the OTA, I would have done it last week
We Soak testers got this email yesterday.....
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.

Am wondering if I got lucky somehow. Got MAXX in mail from Verizon last friday, 6/22. When looking at another tread about how to update to ICS I noticed the file name for the ICS update matches what I see on my MAXX for system version. 6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US with kernel number 2.6.35.7. Did I get a phone that had ICS already loaded? Have not gotten any messages about updating it OTA.
If I go by the file name and the system version on the phone it would seem it is ICS already. Thoughts?

It seems like 211 is the official, but there was an article linked in another thread that Moto is updating it for the battery life issue that was reported by many soak testers.
So I don't know if they are releasing 211 and then will follow it with a quick update, or if they are going to update 211 and then do the mass ota release.

We got another email after the soak test sending us to another survey. The survey was centered around battery life and not being able to switch between 4g and 3g. My guess is that they are gonna buff out the battery issue and add a CDMA only option.

Successfully installed. I had frozen a bunch of stuff and I was rooted. Before I installed the update I defrosted everything, unrooted and then uninstalled gingerbreak. I had no problem updating and I've never had to SBF my phone. Hope this helps. YAY GINGERBREADS ! ! ! <3

I signed up! I bet it is GB 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. With minor bug fixes...
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
I was thinking the same as litetaker. Moto and VZW just released some bug-fixes for the D2 and something else if I remember right. Probably the same with the X2. One thing I don't get is that they complain the LTE in the Tegra devices like the XOOM is what is holding up ICS since the WiFi version has it already. Basically the X2 is just a smaller XOOM and since it only has the CDMA portion why can't it run ICS. The Specs of my X2 are better than my Nexus S 4G and I have my ROM running 4.0.3 on that without issue. Being Tegra based they can't blame that unless there is something in the CDMA holding it up.
What rom are you running that is 4.0.3 on the x2???
Woot! Lets hope its a music fix finally... right guys? Right?
I signed up today as well... I am thinking the same thing... it has to be a bug fix update.
I can't see them getting ICS out this quickly considering it was only about a month ago when it was put on the 'might be considered list'.
Motorola might move that fast enough to get it done... but VZW is slow.
Where is people signing up at?

Thanks for the heads-up, I hadn't read about this issue until seeing your post. Motorola clearly hates their customer base, viewing them as sheep to callously monetize.
I don't mean to go all Richard Stallman here, but Moto can't be trusted--they let us know that with the locked bootloader. That said, the DX2 is my last device...and NO way will I be a part of this soak test.
Again, thanks for the heads up, cheers.

Dude you need to lay off. He's nice enough to report he got the update, and even nicer to say he'll upload it. Why would he lie? What would he have to gain? He doesn't have to live up to your expectations.
And by the way, you could fake the method you posted, after changing your server in Cheesecake to 100, you can get the update prompt by going in to about phone > update.
Why would he lie about it? Its a software update on a phone, not a life changing experience.

I don't have an opinion about whether he received the update, but lots of people lie all the time about anything. Also, it was April 1st. I think skepticism was justified. You're welcome to believe everything you hear.
My girlfriend got an update notification yesterday on her MAXX too, but it only took her to 2.3.6, not 4.0.*
I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon is testing with a few to see if there are issues with such a big update, but it would be known testers IMO.
Hoping its the real thing.

I believe you, but if you want to make those of little faith eat some foot, (and make the rest of us super happy), drop the update.zip, it'd only take a quick adb pull , and I agree, you'll probably have to flash back to stock recovery, try using the voodoo ota root keeper to hide/recover su access and keep us updated!

Seems there are always one or two people that get the OTA's early when they set it up for testing. Dude, if you got it, congrats!

I'm also curious, what are people complaining about? I've had my screen on for the last 4 hours customizing, playing with and generally enjoying ICS. I've yet to experience any issues whatsoever...? Genuinely wondering what problems people are having? Why would they put the ICS release candidate on their staging/soak server if it was riddled with bugs?
Hummmm
Have you people really used ICS I think its horrible even if they do get it working on these phones it still sucks! Just make the battery last a month on one charge and connect to any wi-fi without having to log in, and make apps shut off when you exit out of them. That's all we want out of our phones right??? We can only dream about having phones that work right there will always be someone with an issue with their phone as long as we are getting phones that do all these great things!! Sorry my little rant i'm just done hearing everyone saying when is ICS coming to our phones!! Everyone knows when they do release it thousands will install and instantly start having issues so then another update and another it will never end! How many phones that are out work perfectly? I probably wont even update to ICS when it comes I like the way my phone works now and know where everything is! If you want ICS just install a different launcher done!!
Back in February, everyone was screaming for ICS on their Asus Transformer. Now, the majority of people wished they never got it because it has caused nothing but grief for many (not all) owners. (lockups, random reboots, and general instability).
go see for yourself
Awesome!

If you look at the pdf it shows the update at about 52.5mb. I do believe that ICS will be much bigger. Also if you look at the pdf it shows Dec 2011 in all the pictures. So NO this is not about the ICS update but was for the Jan update.

I'm sure they will, they certainly can't release it with the way it is such a battery killer.
By the way, before somebody posts that my battery life went up to three weeks with the latest leak, save your breath -I don't believe it.
Been a frequent visitor to the Verizon page and this is the first time I seen that article. Could be wrong but I have a very good feeling that ICS is coming sooner then many on this forum thinks. I sure hope it does, coming from the Thunderbolt just a few weeks ago I have been holding off Unlocking the Bootloader and rooting this thing. This is the first phone I have bought that I have not rooted and flashed a Rom within just a few hours of buying it. This phone is a beast, love it.

Haha, exactly. Have seen several posts by what I would call fanboys talking about how awesome the ICS leak is and how they can go forever on their batteries, longer than on GB. Everytime I read one of those, I cringe. I think batt life with the display off is better but when display is on, the battery meter is a countdown timer, it flies!!

Yes, the Jan OTA update was 52.5 MB so that is definitely the update they are talking about.

Wait until the OTA is pushed and then someone will post a link to download the ruu tool to update it from a computer.
I'd be ironic if the "update" is that they are dropping the Rezound price to FREE with a new contract. With the way its been going recently, that announcement is probably not far off..

I waited till April 6th and when I did not see any ICS OTA, I flashed Clean Rom ICS and I am happy with it. I don't know what difference the official upgrade will offer but I am not really excited about it anymore given that I am already running ICS with maybe more than what will be in the upgrade. I don't really care about sense 4.0 because I am running the DEV version of clean Rom with Apex launcher, which in my opinion is even better than Nova.
Was this what the page said before or is it like an updated page.

Anyone know how to keep the software up to date if I am not with Verizon? With Motorola there is option for update software over WiFi,not ota, but with resound it appears that I need an active Verizon account to do so

I was wondering the same thing. My other phones(Samsung Droid Charge, Moto RAZR) update just fine over Wi-Fi. The Rezound is my first HTC phone. It always wants to switch to 4G/3G when checking for updates. I assume this means it will not update to ICS over Wi-Fi. I'm not sure why they designed it this way.
My Rezound is currently being used as a Wi-Fi-only device. (i.e. no Verizon service) I do still have my Galaxy Nexus active on my VZW acct. I figured I can just pop the 4G LTE SIM card into the Rezound when they release the ICS. After it updates, I'll just take the SIM card out and put it back into the Galaxy Nexus. I have a SIM card adapter for this. (Rezound uses standard SIM and Galaxy Nexus uses micro-SIM cards)
Since I have both the Galaxy Nexus and Rezound.... I can't honestly say that I prefer ICS over Gingerbread. ICS has some cool features, but that's about it.... most of the stuff that I do on my Galaxy Nexus doesn't involve ICS-only features. Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing my Rezound updated to ICS, just so both phones can operate in a similar fashion.
ICS Update Delay
Maybe HTC & Verizon had a change of heart (I tried not to choke while thinking that) and the have decided to include Sense 4.0 with the ICS OTA. Of Course I could win the lottery if I actually bought tickets too!
