There's a post on the official Moto Photon forum with a picture of a leaked sales flyer with the ICS upgrade listed as 'Coming Soon'. Its, of course, one picture...but its a convincing one!

4G and CM9 developed from the correct source because NOTHING is better than a CM Mod rom built from the right source.
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
The wimax RSA keys authentication are not being passed through once the bootloader is unlocked. However, a fix for that is being tested with the blur ROMs and once finished, will make its way to the CM mods as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Seriously? Wow.. the use of grammar and punctuation has fallen dramatically in society.

Coming soon would mean that its REALLY coming soon.. like in the next month.

"Coming Soon" from a vendor usually means in a year or some other ridiculous time frame.

Does it make sense now?

As far as I have seen the talks on the forum, it seems that ICS is coming around Q2 2012. Check the dev section.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
No. I could just as easily have interpreted the quoted phrase as having the opposite meaning. Your use of quotes without context was meaningless. You should use punctuation neither to imply timeframe nor to challenge your audience to read your mind.

My friend, there is absolutely no reason to insult me. Save your next lecture for someone that is less literate than you.

And don't come unarmed to a discussion like this ....

... regarding grammar, use "within society" rather than "in society", and "such as" instead of "like".

... regarding punctuation, your post used "its" [possessive] twice - in each case it should have been "it's" [conjunctive: 'it is = 'it's]. And your sentence needed a period. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
As of now, the major deal-breakers on CM9 (for me at least) are the camera/camcorder and 4G not working. There are also some 2d issues that some users are experiencing and the latest CM build broke the keyboard (whoops). But I believe they just got the camera (not camcorder) working on the atrix cm9 build, so hopefully that's coming soon to the photon build as well.

In the meantime, throw on CM7.2 w/ a joker kernel... and just wait till CM9 gets a little more stable. I don't see an ICS coming down for the Photon until after the Razr and Bionic (and possibly Atrix). So I'd say May is the earliest we could hope for.

[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
The reason we should get ICS is because we own a device that's less than a year old and should have the latest OS that's available for it. Bottom line. No carrier or manufacturer who provides devices like this should ever leave their customers with an OS that's now nearly obsolete. PLUS if you are Moto or Sprint it keeps you at the forefront of the game and you dont end up with a bunch of pissed off customers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cubanluke88:
You've actually got it somewhat backwards. Tablet owners...already had ICS with HC. HC was essentially a beta for ICS. Most of the ICS features were already in HC, just a bit buggy, slow and not fully polished. ICS is a huge change for GB users. Perhaps some, if not all of these changes may not apply to you, but I'd say there are plenty of people who welcome them. Let me explain:

This is rather huge for app development actually. There are some really nice tablet only apps that could now be seen on phones (one of my favorites is Mizuu, a movie manager app). Furthermore, it means devs can put their app into one thing; now I don't have to purchase two separate apps (phone version, tablet version).

There's nothing unknown about it. Current multitasking via holding down the home button is terrible. Go to staples or best buy and pick up a honeycomb/ICS tablet and see for yourself how cool the new multitasking is. The ability to see previews for apps akin to seeing previews in the Windows 7 taskbar is pretty cool, as well as the ICS bonus of being able to swipe them away.

Not really sure what you're saying here.

Okay, fair enough I guess but that's a personal thing. There are plenty of people (I'd say most of the people here) that want this.

You left out a few key things as well. Hardware acceleration is pretty big, not to mention all the other under the hood stuff (admittedly well beyond me) that is supposed to make things much faster and smoother. And I am fairly certain that Joker plans to push ICS to the limits on the photon when he has a stable build working.

Oh and face unlock is a neat feature, built in screenshot is handy, the new browser is a breath of fresh air, and of course the update camera. LIke I said, these may not be important to you, but for some people they are and they will be significant changes from GB.
[Motorola Photon 4G] halfdriven:
well put Cubanluke88

[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
ICS has slightly, and I mean very slightly, better minfreememory handling. I still don't fully understand how they do it now but I've been poking at reverting oom back to old config and see if that will allow me to echo better settings. A stock build from google source will not allow you to echo and I confirmed busybox run parts was working :confused:

If that looks like greek just know its slightly more efficient at reclaiming ram by killing ghosts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Thanks for the comments. Like I said it's my opinion regarding ICS (by the way, I do owned a tablet with HC).

My point to the previous user's post is: "If you bought a phone for business. Why on earth would you sacrificed its stability, unlock your boot loader, loose 4G and demand ICS? Is the phone performance that bad with the original OS (GB)?"
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cubanluke88:
This quote here

In what way is the flexibility of android limited? :eek:

Perhaps there is some meaning in his post that I'm not fully grasping but.....seems like a rather silly claim to me given the level of customization/freedom we as android users enjoy.

Been in Engineering field many years, and with all the changes and testing that need to be done. I don't expect to see Icecream until summer on a hot day. Cheers

I think th epone has all the cahnces to get ICS, hardware is not an Issue. Hope that Sprint and US cellular helps too.

I don´t live in US, so don't know how popular the phone is, but is one of the best dual core devices out there and even with a low market share should get the upgrade.

[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
From a business perspective, it doesn't seem like q3 makes much sense. What the heck would incentivize upgrade and purchases when people's older phones JUST get the upgrade? I figure more people would be like, "Oh SNAP! now that I got ICS, I can wait longer for a new phone..." It seems like a Q3 rollout would have them lose potential purchases during the holiday season.

[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Well if its gonna until Q3 before the official ICS upgrade to come to our phones, I think I'll give unlocking the bootloader a shot and try out CM9 Beta which is making good progress.

Only downside is that 4G is still not working with an unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
My guess is that Motorola is underpromising...and will over deliver with a middle-end of Q2 roll out...q3 doesn't make sense to me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
It's pretty sad that the Photon will be getting ICS OTAs right before Jelly Beaner is announced.

Yea, it says 3rd quarter of 2012 and ya know it sure as hell aint gonna be the 1st month of the 3rd quarter.

I would put money on maybe September (1st month of 4th quarter) unless Google has anything to do with Motorola's operations decisions before then, but i doubt it...
[Motorola Photon 4G] QWIKSTRIKE:
YOU GUYS ARE REAL SLOW....THINK ABOUT IT...Motorola sells cell phones, and to offer an upgrade would also slow the sales of phones, because people would be satisfied with their old Photons running smoother, and faster with the new soft ware, when they need to have sales for their new lines of phones. This method slows growth. But, if they offer new phones with the soft ware while limiting old phones getting upgrades they make more sales to move their stock up. HTC seems to be the only Company that doesn't do this like other Manufacturers. Google of course being the Leader. I wish Google will now use Motorola for their Nexus lines. The Raxor Maxx with a resolution like the GN would clearly be the best phone on the market. The Razor Max is lighter than my Photon, and looks amazing with the lower resolution. Just imagine it with a GN resolution with ICS. Motorola can make killer phone with no antenna signal issues and sound quality issues.

I think Motorola is nickel and diming customers with phones with minimal upgrades as opposed to doing a great killer phone. Verizon customers got Bionic, Droid, Droid Max when they should have had the Droid Max all along, and next on the horizon they should have a GN type of phone spec wise ready to drop rather than minimal upgrades to milk money from their followers. If Google and Motorola did a Nexus phone with killer Specs that would make Moto the King of phones tech wise I think.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
You do know the 1st month of 4th quarter is October right... -_____-. September is still part of the 3rd quarter.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Hopefully we'll have official cm9 by then if not before. Hopefully 4g gets fixed along the same time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] QWIKSTRIKE:
By by the time this comes out I will have the next high resolution phone I think....It won't matter. Too bad though because Moto has a nice antenna. I really like the Razor Max variant with a higher resolution for Sprint. Motorola is hoping that by the 3rd quarter you will buy another Phone, and they are right, but since the Specs will be better people will buy the newer model even if the old phone is upgraded to ICS....they have no concept of what they are doing.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
I am having a very strange problem with exchange email with the native email client. I am trying to sync to a corporate Exchange 2003 server. All of the settings are accepted but it is not syncing the most recent emails. Oddly enough, if I select the option to sync one days worth of email, it syncs (approximately) email that is over one day old. If I select the option to sync a month's worth of email, it syncs email that is (again approximately) a month old. In addition, after the initial sync it doesn't sync any emails any longer, even if I hit refresh manually.

This problem only seemed to surface with the last update that was pushed from Acer (the small one after the big update that took me to 3.2.1). That happened on the first day that I got the A100 though so I didn't have it working for long before that. And in case you're wondering, I have not had this problem on any other device that I have tried. This includes two Nokia Symbian phones, a Nexus S running ICS and an Asus Transformer running 3.2.1. I have gone back and forth with Acer's email support and they have been no help at all.

Can anyone confirm for me that they have been running exchange email with the native app on a fully updated A100 without any problems? And an ideas on how to fix this problem for me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
doesn't anyone use exchange email on their a100? I'd like to at least confirm that some people have it working properly.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] danifunker:
My exchange works fine, but I'm on Exch 2010 w Sp1
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
Thanks. You have the latest updates for the a100 as well (2.007.04)? And the build number on mine is EMEA_GB (Europe, Middle East and Africa) for some reason even though I bought it in Toronto as well. Is that the same as yours?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] danifunker:
Yup same thing as me... I got mine in Toronto as well from Kijiji though ;) haha. Lots of torontonians on this forum!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
Haha ya not sure why that is!

So looks like this might just be a problem with Exchange 2003 in particular I suppose. I just installed an app called "Exchange Email" which seems to be based on the stock email client and it's working fine. It's missing some features though like a working calendar so I would still like to figure out what's going on with the stock email client.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] danifunker:
Check to see if the exchange server has all of the service packs installed... But really? Exchange 2003 is almost 10 years old... might be time for an upgrade
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
Yep I know it's old, but it's the corporate server and I don't have any control over it!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Crastabule:
I am on Exchange server 2003, on an Acer tablet running android 3.2.1, and about a week ago, I started getting the same issue. If you find a solution, let me know and I'll do the same!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
So it's not just me! Do you recall if it just started happening after the last patch?

I've only dealt with the Acer email support so I will try calling them as well. You should let them know too so they hopefully begin to understand that it's a problem and actually do something about it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jeromel:
I'm incined to agree wth the service patches. Microsoft still supports Server 2003 so there should be a solution on their side.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
We're up to date according to the version number. And I'm able to sync just fine with a number of other devices (both Android and Symbian), so this is something specific to the A100.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Have you tried reverting back to 2.007.01 and staying there since it was working before you updated it to .04?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
I believe that I would have to root in order to revert back? I had asked Acer if there was a way to do it and they said no. I haven't attempted a root yet.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
just use recovery to flash the update.zip file for build 2.007.01 and dont take the ota update to .04 aftewords.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
I tried that before and it didn't work. I could've been doing something wrong but I downloaded the update.zip file from the official stock rom thread and put it on an external sd card. When I powered up holding the volume up key I get the android guy on the screen but then just get the yellow exclamation mark and the process stops. This happened both the update and the full package. I thought that this didn't work either because I was trying to go back to an older package or because I wasn't rooted.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
No that just means your recovery partition is messed up, not sure how or why but for more info you can pull /cache/recovery/last_log and post it here. From that file I can tell why it failed.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
I'm a noob so I'm not entirely sure where to check that. I checked in my cache folder with Root Explorer and there's nothing in there. Am I looking in the right place?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
Sorry I meant ES File Explorer, not Root Explorer
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
ES and astro wont be able to see in that folder, you'll need to use either root explorer, script manager or adb to get to the recovery directory inside that cache folder.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
I tried script manager and it says that it's forbidden when I try that folder. I suppose I'll have to root to see that folder first.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Ahh, yeah sorry forgot that you weren´t rooted yet.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
okay I'm rooted now, here's the last log file
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
It's looking for update.zip in /mnt/sdcard, did you put the update.zip on your external memory card (microsd is /mnt/external_sd) or /mnt/sdcard?

It's failing because it can't find the update.zip file and its looking for it in your internal memory /mnt/sdcard.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
I had it in the external sd card, I thought that was where it was supposed to be according to some instructions I had red. Anyway I just tried copying it to my internal card (/mnt/sdcard) and tried again, but the same thing happened. I've attached the new last log file.

EDIT: I'm having trouble uploading the file for some reason, I will try again
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
Here is the file
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
Okay so I finally got the recovery working. I'm not sure why, but it worked after I tried a different external SD card and put the update.zip file on that. Maybe it has something to do with the size of the card (this is an 8 GB one, the other one I was using was only 2 GB).

Anyway I will try out the exchange email to see if I have the same problem using 2.007.01 GEN1
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
So it was still messed up with 2.007.1. But then I went back to the original firmware and everything is working fine. So there's definitely something with the update that is messing up exchange email for some users.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Captain Hilts:
Looks like I spoke too soon. All of a sudden my exchange email stopped syncing. The behaviour is a bit different but I guess it's still kind of buggy. I suppose the only hope now is that the ICS update fixes things.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] O.Thost:
Same problem!

I have a very strange problem, im trying to be as clear as i can :)

every time after i do a normal reboot, when i open up whatsapp my message history appears to be corrupt. It then restores to the auto whatsapp backup made around 4.00 am. Since i am a heavy user of this program, this leaves me with lots of missing messages and pictures.

This happened when i updated to sebas's v5. Every time if i flash a rom, i make a backup with my backup root (without installing whatsapp from the market). This has worked always (i get every message and picture from the backup point), except for the last three rom switches (v5.0, 5.1 and 5.1.1).

Ive already tried to delete whatsapp completely and then installing it original from the market, but this still leaves me with a corrupt message history after a normal reboot (with a hot reboot there a no problems).

So why dont you use a hot reboot instead ? Well because the camera (both 3.0 and 3.5) sebas is using keeps getting stuck after shooting a couple of photos, in which i have to pull out the battery and do a restart (ending up losing my message history). But this camera problem is an other subject :p

So if anyone could please help me with my whatrsapp problem, it is very annoying is a hardcore user.
