[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Depends on how the OTA works. On this Kindle Fire, this app was useless for blocking the OTA at all, and it blew away root, recovery and all when it did the update. You had to use a different method to prevent it.

Those updates are not normal ones, as they rewrite /system and more.

The app is good for allowing streaming via Amazon Prime etc though.

**EDIT** On the Kindle Fire, the easiest way to prevent the OTA to work, was to remove the /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip file. Physically moving it elsewhere (like to the sdcard) worked.
[HTC Rezound] RDxxASSASSINxx:
Just spoke to a good friend that works for vzw and its not happening.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
LOL, why does that not surprise me??
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
most people at verizon have no idea what they are talking about anyways. but i still say we won't get an ota until may or so, we shall see.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Pretty much sums up what I meant. You can root the current GB OTA instead of waiting for the ICS OTA to hit.

Many times I am constructive with what I say, I just say the things people don't like to hear. Sorry if I disagree with you and I hurt your precious ego. Lol.
[HTC Rezound] bwthor20:
Not according to this page which was linked further back. It says "Coming Soon!" I haven't been to that page since the last OTA was pushed out, so I can't say whether the coming soon part has changed.

http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/rezound.html
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
that is interesting, maybe we will get it this month?
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
It is for the OTA we currently have already.
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
I'm holding off on the ICS update until Verizon pushes it. I've got some apprehension about flashing leaked formware. *shrug*

Also, why can't we all just get along? We're all friends here!
[HTC Rezound] Jonger1150:
Is there a way to get this release or any of the other recent versions without wiping my phone?
[HTC Rezound] merlin66676:
Or our ice cream sandwich. Sorry just had to.
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
OTAs don't normally force-wipe, to my knowledge. However, without a wipe when making major changes like that, you may encounter some small issues, such as reset settings (old GB settings may no longer exist in ICS) or force closes on incompatible apps.

If you've run an ICS ROM and have had no issues with apps (meaning they are all 4.0.* compliant), then after the OTA you will probably just have to update the apps you have installed and shouldn't see any issues.

[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
Looks like someone really needs a hug.

So here is my plan.

Update my LOCKED and STOCK Rez to 4.0/3.6. Enjoy the short wait until the released 4.0 is fused with Sense 4.0 by the boys.

Root, flash, done.

And it will happen on my timeline, based on what I want from my phone.

Haters will hate...but life is too short...always smile and have fun.

This is going to be fun, btw.
[HTC Rezound] RoryHe:
rooting pretty much has no side affects

except for a RE-LOCKED bootloader

or an avoidable TAMPERED

don't download the isc ruu leak that came out a bit ago if you really want to be cautious

and the people never check for that they don't even know how
[HTC Rezound] Randomlord:
So . . .

Any truth to this rumor? I would be ecstatic if I was able to get ICS by the end of the week!

I don't want to root a company phone that is still under warranty. :)
[HTC Rezound] Chuck Snorus:
We'll have a pretty good idea tomorrow. If the Moto's get their OTA, then the Best Buy rumor will have been proven true.
[HTC Rezound] Nopi45:
Razr just got there OTA update so the chances are very high now!!
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Can you post your source? BGR? Engadget?
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Have not seen any confirmation of this online. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Neither have I. Checked Moto's website, it's either not updated or did not get the OTA today. Latest update was 2/13.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
im skeptical if were going to get this, this week. and the razr did not get ics today.
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
My guess is its the same thread about the guy who got his notification a few days ago, but has yet to get it installed. Or perhaps its the soak test. Top few threads in the RAZR general forum show no mass updates going on.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
my guess would be later this spring, maybe even early summer. no one knows at this point but im seriously doubting it will be this week. i hope htc take their time and improve on the radio's and kernel.
[HTC Rezound] WOLF26915:
No ICS for droid razr today

I have the droid razr I've been checking all day no ICS update yet
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Typically a OTA Soak test is done first. This includes a limited number of users (like around 5k - 10k) and tests the update process to make sure there are no real glitches. After that, the rollout begins. It can take several days, weeks to "get" the update automatically. Depends on how many devices there are, loads on the servers etc. They don't want everyone doing it at once..

Normally, someone will obtain the URL to the actual OTA image and post it and you can then apply it without getting the OTA notification.

It is not unusual for some modified versions of the new OTA to show up shortly after it is out as well, desensed, debloated, pre-rooted etc...
[HTC Rezound] SpyderWeiss:
Reported here too:

http://androidcommunity.com/verizon...axx-could-get-ics-updates-next-week-20120330/
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
yes, the report came last week, but looks like a false alarm.
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
If the Razr hasnt gotten anything, we wont either . Which is good news imo, latest leak needs work with the kernel imo
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Verified the RAZR has nothing yet, courtesy of my roommate.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
From Droid-Life: RAZR soak test begins tomorrow morning... it's not ICS though :( Hopefully we'll still get ours and it will be ICS

[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
Not gonna happen. I still say late spring or summer.
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
Just another reason not to trust that damn geek squad
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
This is why I never believed the rumor, Verizon would not push a major update to two different phones within two days of each other. Aside from the CS nightmare with everybody wanting to know what happened to their phone (doubled because it's two phones), the load on their servers would be enormous.
[HTC Rezound] Nopi45:
My fault I was looking early on the razr forms on xda but guess it was a load cuz my wife did not Getty her update.
[HTC Rezound] illcat2000:
Lol if the rezound got ics on April 6 it would be the fastest software update in Verizon history if you believe that the gnex will have jelly bean by May.
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Best Buy is claiming the Rezound update is still on (see AndroidPolice).

Color me not holding my breath.
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
We'll see tomorrow . But my guess says we wont .
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
I'm very doubtful about ota tomorrow. It kind of seems like they might be hoping to flush out the s-off exploit. They just issued a leak with 2 problems that only s-off could fix.

Well, it's possible anyway.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
What new leak, and what 2 problems does it bring that require S-OFF to fix???
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
I agree since it's BB saying it but I am giving the rumor the time of day based on the the fact that we do have a leak that you don't have to be rooted with a recovery to use, which means it's not too far off IMO. I just hope people don't stay up all night hitting software update and then flood the forum tomorrow talking about they're never buying another HTC phone.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
It's going to happen anyway.
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
Yeah I know, Resistance is futile... :)

[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I just don't know why htc and verizon would be so quiet about such an update ...

you'd think they'd want to prepare all sorts of IT professionals and staff's that "****s about to change... i hope you're ready!"

I mean, is a sneak attack really the hip thing to do in this industry now?
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
Yes

I don't believe it, but that's my plan.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
They're all about the nexus and razr maxx now lol...maybe they forgot about us....or maybe its April 6, 2013 ;)
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I've seen a lot of roll outs like this. Not sure what you think they would be doing.

Announcing just leads to support calls.... Why have all that grief until it is actually released. Just look at this topic for an example.

As for the roll out itself, the infrastructure is already in place. They have already rolled out an OTA to this phone before, so they do a SOAK test, and if there are no big issues, the push the big red button.

Even then, it can take days before you actually get the notification. It's why asking a friend if they got their OTA yet is a bit of a joke... they might not see it for a couple days themselves.

When it starts to roll...it will be news enough.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
it could happen tomorrow but seriously im doubting it will. i won't upgrade to it anyways until we get s-off.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
yuuuuup!
[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
You can upgrade without s-off and then unlock it later. The HTC unlock thing isn't going to change since it's not really an exploit.
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
Well, Razr didn't get ICS, but they did get a soak test today. Maybe there really is something coming tomorrow with Rezound?
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
So do you think it would be a better idea to wait until after s off then accept the ota?
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Does anyone know if the ota will be a higher version.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
i will but it's up to you. i don't think were going to get the upgrade for awhile yet.

[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Most likely. If you're on a custom rom you probably won't get it.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
he meant can he accept the ota while on the leaked rom.

[HTC Rezound] illcat2000:
If Verizon didn't say it it isn't true I've yet to see an update even minor without the press release from Verizon I always get a how to get more out of your crappy device email before an update.
[HTC Rezound] :
the first step is to wait until the really smart people get at it first, make a rom out of it for you to flash and THEN flash it, that is to say, if you are not fully 100% sure on what you're doing, or what to expect. lol. giving you a hard time of course, not tryina troll or flame ya. The update will drop, users will do it, they'll probably screw their phones up in the process and have bricks laying around while they are crying, while the rest of us get a quicktool that will give us s-off and we'll have a rom based on an official ICS OTA and be able to flash any radio and kernel that we want, not crying.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Yeah, well I haven't bricked a device yet....

If you're unlocked, I think it will download and fail to update. You should still have the dled file. 1st step is to get the update to the devs.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
I got the last OTA just fine when unlocked. Didn't have to relock to install it. Just made sure to have stock recovery and no frozen or uninstalled stock apps.
[HTC Rezound] jackpot08:
can you post a screenshot?
[HTC Rezound] MajikUF:
Don't people who receive the OTA know that you're supposed to sniff the network traffic and get everyone else a link? Also, screenshot of the software version or it didn't happen.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Sorry, meant I got the last gingerbread OTA a month or two ago and didn't have to relock to get it. Wasn't claiming I got the new one(which I have doubts is even coming today, BB is less than accurate on that stuff).

There are so many myths about getting OTA's out there. You don't need to be locked. You should have stock recovery. You can't have frozen or missing stock apps. You can use Voodoo Rootkeeper to keep root(if you run it beforehand).
[HTC Rezound] nixternal:
http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/rezound.pdf

That page hasn't been updated since the last OTA, and VZW typically updates them at least a few days in advance. Don't hold your breath, as I doubt it is coming. A month or so back, HTC stated on their FB page that not until after spring or later this year.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
I *think* you need to be locked to change the radio. But now that you mention it, I'm not so sure. Had to be locked to run the leaked ruu.

Hi all,

I'm interested in acquiring a second hand Galaxy S, and just had one question.

I read somewhere that some apps are not compatible with the TV out functionality of the GS. Does anyone know if the NHL GameCenter app works with TV out (specifically are you able to watch videos and live feeds)?

I've attached the app for your convenience.

If anyone could test this out for me, it'd be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelson231:
TV-out and your game

It is likely that if you had rooted your GTi9000, the TV-out will not work. The TV out only work with samsung Kies OS. It is not only your game, all other apps will not run if you rooted your phone. Or else the game should run on TV out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filisiana:
Hi guys,

Please help. i connected my phone to kies, and it said that there was an update. clicked update

and it downloaded and installed the firmware successfully. However, when i switched it on

it was considerably slower and was using 197mb ram compared to previously the phone wojld uuse 181 ram.when i scroll down any list eg in msgs, adobe pdf reader the fluid manner in which the list moves is lacking instead its staggering. Also polaris office failed to open. i feel it hasnt helped with the battery either. i tried to factory restore, to no avail. even after restore yhe build shows 14 instead of the initial 4. Adobe doesnt load as smoothly either.

Have attached current build. Please help mee.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
That is an "i". As in KI4, not 14.

Try a factory reset. (you may not like that answer though)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filisiana:
Oops, i guess then that the previous build was 4 and now its I4. I tried factory restore but it didnt help as you might have guessed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I don't think you are guessing right. Last three characters of the build (KI4, for example) represent year, month, and build number.

And I don't know what a "factory restore" is. Did you do a factory reset from menu > privacy > factory data reset?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filisiana:
Yes, what i did was a factory reset. Whatever the case after my firmware update my phone is alot slower and the battery lasts even less when i expected the opposite from a firmware update. And Either way my firmware WAS updated , or else it wouldnt go all the qay to download mode and not update anything. so the phone was updated and now it has problems. the previous build i dont rem but im sure it had a 4 at the end. so may be another letter then 4. but it wasnt I4. Thank you for your prompt reply:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Well in that case you have three options. 1 is to try another factory reset. 2 is to try to re-flash the XWKI4 firmware yourself using Odin. You can get the firmware either from Intratech's official firmware thread here on XDA, or off samfirmware.com. 3 is if you're not comfortable doing that, take it to service.

To start:

You need to buy adobe photoshop or download gimp.

Photoshop is very nice and what I have used for years, but you need a hefty sum of money to get it. Gimp will work for most things, but is less user friendly.

Next:

Mess around with your editing software you just acquired until you are comfortable with it.
