No way would Asus release an update that wipes data. Can you imagine grandma who has her TF101 set up perfectly losing everything because she clicked the "you have an update" button that popped up. It would be a customer service nightmare if it was a wipe update.

I will be wiping mine just because all my data is stored in Google/Evernote/OneNote and I can always reinstall apps I need as I go along (don't play games on it so that doesn't matter). I like a clean install of the base OS.

Edit: what's the best way to do a full wipe tomorrow, once ICS is available? Just using the menu to format the device then install the OTA?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cornishronson:
I would do a Backup then update without wipe then when you do sort out after update you've always got those apps available if you want them back(e.g. Unknown Source apps that are not available through market):)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] P500:
If you're using CWM, then do a regular format prior to flashing your update.zip.

If you're completely stock, then a simple data reset should be fine. More wiping requires root/custom recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] justjayhere:
I don't believe ADWex will backup widgets.. (correct me if I'm wrong) so for those of us that customized our unit with "Hubs" style setups might have a lot of work cut out for ourselves.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
Instead of creating another thread on the preparation for ICS, I ask this. Is there any downside to having an external SD Card inserted when installing an OTA update? Maybe some of our Android Braniacs have a proper answer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eminembdg:
The update won't touch your external. I've flashed my phone hundreds of times. Even have had soft bricks, boot loops. And used odin many times and never had anything go wrong with external SD card. BUT, if you want to be extra cautious just take it out, only takes a second or just copy it all to your PC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hapahopi:
I went with the ICS update without doing a factory reset. No problems so far with the games and a few apps installed. Lucky me I still have root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thiesen:
You have your own backup account at Google. The HC in TF can be told to use that backup system. I used it when Asus managed to totally screw upp the Deep Sleep thingy that caused massive battery drainage. All my settings where restored once I logged back in to my Google account... Market even reinstalled all of my previously installed apps for me (without their individual customizations and whatnot though)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I'll be wiping, just because Honeycomb was seeming more and more unstable lately, and I'd like a clean slate. It's a good time to clear out all the cruft that's built up on my tablet over the last six months or so since my last wipe...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zpiders:
I'm doing a factory reset right now in preparation for the update, don't wont any old apps causing any problems with the new update!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jyveafk:
Installed ICS, had... oddities. Was running VERY slow, even after a couple of reboots. Ended up factory reset, reboot, re-install, and it's FAR better.

Anyone having odd issues? Backup/wipe/reinstall I think's the best solution for now.

(I did have a SILLY amount of stuff loaded before, took a long time on first reboot, I think factory reset is going to be the safer option).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AstroTrain:
I have my TF charging so no update yet.

How many of you had to or decided to do Factory reset after the update?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sidneyk:
I just did the FOTA on my wife's stock, unrooted US TF101 and it went well. She had 207 apps installed and like others have said the first boot took awhile because it was optimizing all the 207 apps for ICS. Everything seems good so far, nice and peppy and I like the refreshed interface. The stock browser seemed to take awhile to load websites, but once loaded the scrolling was smooth as butter. More testing to do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I reset before and after the update. (Belt and suspenders).

FYI, the app optimizing includes built-in / stock apps. I know because even with only one app installed after the first wipe (put TuneIn Radio back on while I waited for ICS to appear), I was told I had ~47 apps to optimize.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AstroTrain:
Just did a factory format, ICS now blazing fast compared with prior no reset with over 100 plus apps.

I was using the hub format with AdX EX launcher, minimal text, folder organizer etc, will consider if I want to pursue that again but with no reset I found ICS stuttery and laggey, now it seems blazing fast.

Good thing about the reset as well, I get to carefully choose which apps to reinstall, alot of the apps I had before were junk that needed a cleaning from the system.

If anyone is experiencing less than expected quickness from ICS I will suggest a reformat, it really is a big difference plus we are near spring time for spring cleaning . . . :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Arjoma:
I did not do a reset and everything stayed at its place as it should (even the ADW EX Widgets).

I rotted my Phone and installed RomeOS 1.3.1

Does anyone how this can happen? It is on other Roms as well...

[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
If that's an AOSP ROM there are chances that there could be issues with the game and the rom if that didn't happened to you on stock rom.

These are part of the consequences of flashing roms, there are some things that will work and others wont.

Hey guys my girlfriend plays a game on her android called "Tap Fish". In this came you can download other games and you get some prize for doing it. She asked me the other day "how does the app know that I downloaded and installed the game?". I thought that was a pretty interesting question. How do the apps that offer this service know if you have downloaded and installed the game?

Thanks guys!

It makes a connection with market to verify the download of another app. Also, it can be ptrogrammed to wacth system files to see if the app has runnend ever for a certainly amount of time. Is just download a new app to get rewarded or u may exec the new app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bit_Reaper:
She says it depends on the app. Most of the time its just download and open the app. But some require you to play till level like 2 or 3.

[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
Source: Android™ Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM available for unlocked 2011 Xperia™ smartphone models

Official thread by Kalle: [ROM] Official Sony Xperia ICS Beta ROM for arc S, ray, neo V

As a follow-up to the previous alpha, Sony has released the official beta of the upcoming ICS update for 2011 Xperia models. Unfortunately, this beta is currently only available for Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray and they must be already running the latest firmware (4.0.2.A.0.42).

What's new?

Updated UI – We hope you will be happy to see that we have added a number of UI elements from ICS, as well as some new UI features already introduced in the Xperia™ S we announced in January.

Lockscreen and Face Unlock – We have added a shortcut to the camera directly from the lockscreen. Also, when you’re listening to music you can control the music player without unlocking the phone by using the music control icons on the lockscreen. In the coming final ICS upgrade, we will also include the face unlock app from Google for all phones that has a front-facing camera. The Face Unlock feature uses the front-facing camera in combination with advanced object recognition algorithms to provide a new way to unlock the phone. However, since Face Unlock is a Google Mobile Services (GMS) app, it is not included in this ICS beta ROM.

Connectivity turned on – Since we published the ICS alpha ROM, the GSM modem and FM radio have passed the certification and type approval, and they are therefore turned on in this ICS beta release.

Updated email client – The UI has been updated, and simplified email management has been added.

Quick dial – We have added a quick and easy way for you to make phone calls. See how it works in the ICS beta ROM demo video.

Please note that the Google Mobile Services (GMS) apps (for example Gmail, Google Maps and Face Unlock), Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi™ are not included in the beta release due to that they are still waiting for the certification and type approval to be finalised.

Let's hope someone who is skilled out there to make it available for arc users. Also, I thought we were going to get the UXP NXT interface, but it seems like we don't. :p

What do you guys think?

Assuming it will work on stock kernel - can it be installed and a CWM backup made???

I have already restored my ARC S backup to an ARC without any issue (BOTH Locked bootloaders)

Just a thought

----Edit----

Just to be clear - Could someone with an UNlocked bootloader install the rom and then make a CWM backup of which can be restored in another phone (Locked bootloader)?

I am guessing the UNlocked bootloader is needed to get the rom installed because its not signed.
[Xperia Arc General] vegaro:

Hi,

I see this weird problem when using GrooveIP, hoping somebody might came across this could help out.

When I use GrooveIP to make call, screen never turns on when i short press Power butoon. This needed as I need to enter code via dialpad for few calls.

When I use Native dialer in mobile network screen turns on instantly when I press power button, but its not happening on GrroveIP and its annoying as I use Google voice number for Vonage Extensions.

Can any one has ideas? I'll also try to contact developer. Just wondering is this common on atrix2 when using GrooveIP.

been reading all over the General/Accessories threads.. great stuff... im not readay to root or install roms yet... sooo

I am coming from the Sprint Mogul (Titan) and loved it.. then with custom roms it was a better phone.. powered windshield mount, gps software and all.. it was great..

now this my first android... and I have already started seeing the night and day difference (side from hardware.. bigger screen, faster, etc...)..

just ordered a infuse windshield mount and going to order a samsung e4gt desk cradle in a bit (waiting on an ebay offer if accepted)

what apps do you run that is making the phone enjoyable???

my list and couldnt do on the Titan...

1. Office Talk Free (Office communicator) - really nice so now i can go to the labratories and can get messages still!!!!

2. VIP Access - no more keyfob on my keychain.. just put it in my drawer...

3. Beat the Traffic

4. KeypassDroid

5. Craigslist

6. a reliable flashlight app

7. Wifi Analizer - had one on ppc but this one was way better.. even told me to change channels for performance

what do you use???

Only thing I am not thrilled with is the GPS software.. I had TomTom7, iGuidance and GarminXT... TeleNav isnt working right (triangle not on the street) and Navigation looses connection....
