It appears that the Gen2 is not getting the update yet.

My A500 is

Android version: 3.2.1 (stock)

Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3+

Build Number: Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2

I'm in Johnson City TN. When I check for updates it says Your device is up to date.
[Acer Iconia A500] flamin_ICE:

[Acer Iconia A500] Quemeros:
I succesfuly upgrade a A500 to 4.0.3 today, but i found a problem in the screen... now when is not at 100% of brighthess, is seems like a flirk in all grey/black's colors (it's look very clear in al the background of control panel).

The "flirk" it's like what you see in CRT monitors when you not select correct refresh frecuency, or when you record with a videorecorder an old TV. That is the bad effect that i found in all system (games/video/gallery/etc). :(

Videos now are all HW decoded, and are completly smooth, all system are more smooth, but characters/font's are lees clear/sharpner because of GPU render.

[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Both the cynic and skeptic in me believes that lots of folks download the leak and then say "I got the OTA and it's the same build number as the leak!" I could be wrong. Some daisy chain of coincidences could allow for the leak to be the same as the OTA for some, I guess; but I remember though, that this happened with several of my phones right here on XDA. People would get the leak from XDA and then post on the forums that they got the official OTA update - then I'd get the OTA (as well as others) and it's different. What's the motivation? /shrug. I chalk it up to misery loving company. Or, as I mentioned it could very well be that the leak is pushed to some serial numbers while another is pushed to others for whatever the reason.

In the end I'll be waiting on the OTA, as I usually do. When I do get it I'll post a screeny. I am generally in the first batch to get these Acer updates and I haven't gotten it yet.

[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Y'know... Every single bloody time there's a FOTA update, we go through this nonsense. "No update yet" & "where's mine?" and "the guy next door got his!". I really do wish people would learn.

Acer do NOT release the updates to everyone at once, doing so would overload the content delivery network. They release based on a combination of region, current version and serial number batches. It's quite possible for you to have bought 2 tablets at the same time, and them get updated days apart.

Just have some patience, folks.
[Acer Iconia A500] juvezavala:
Had the exact same scenario myself. You got to find the completely stock ROM and flash it. It will then let you do OTA updates. I'll try to get you the link.

Received update yesterday , Browser works better , NO face unlock , no Acer Ring , while creating folders in HOME SCREEN display started to flicker , restart solved the problem, since then (last 12h ) it works fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] Joshimura:
Installed the update yestyerday.

Reading the forum regarding ICS on here, I expected a lot from this update, but from where I'm standing, improvements are only marginal. I'm talking about speed, smoothness and things like that.

I also noticed that apps start up SLOWER than before, and I had several crashes yesterday, especially with media-applications (players, media server, tag editor).

Indexing of external SD-card is also much slower.

Internet browser seems improved though.

I will be testing some more tonight. Maybe I was just having a bad, incompatible moment myself... :rolleyes:

[Acer Iconia A500] IW4:
I just got my A500 back from warranty repair, in which they reloaded 3.2.1 (Acer_A500_7.014.01_COM_GEN1). The system was telling me I was up to date.

I opened up the Play Store, and there is, among the updates, a manual one for the "ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement" (available here). Now, it's telling me a new update (Acer_A500_041.203.01_COM_GEN1) is available. Downloading now; I'll attempt to capture the ZIP.

Waiting patiently for the OTA to show up on Canada's east coast.
[Acer Iconia A500] snailium:
I just can't wait, and found this update package in A500 Development forum.

http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1_1333444737199_8ec8b991.zip

It is official ICS update, at least it is from Acer update server. But after update, the version become WW instead of COM

Before: Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1

After: Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1

Edit:

The file name is Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1_1333444737199_8ec8b991.zip.

So, in my opinion, it is for Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1.

Edit2:

After using this update package, the A500 system is rootable using blackthund3r's one-click root tool.

Upgrade was painfree, so far no issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Same here,

No issues thus far. I made sure to do a factory reset after I updated to be absolutely sure because in my experience going to a major release pretty much always warrants one (there's always an app or a setting that just doesn't sit right with the new firmware).

After letting my apps all come back from Google Play (I haven't tested them all), I can say that I haven't experienced any issues yet and definitely nothing that some other folks are reporting. Time to go through and painstakingly re-install my Amazon store acquired apps.

Here's the pic I promised. I took this using ICS SS feature and then uploaded it to dropbox using the Gallery app:

Got the update when I woke up this morning and installed. So far I am not seeing much difference. It feels a little smoother and it randomly vibrates for no apparent reason other than that I cannot see much difference in the controls and abilities as far as on the surface. Not sure exactly what new features it added minus a new look on the lock button on the lock screen and the native folder support which is a def. bonus.

I tried this method but unfortunately I always get a "installation aborted" error message in CQM. I'm using a rooted Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1. Also decrypted the file. Any help?
[Acer Iconia A500] The_Monkey_King:
Interesting note:

I had the 3.2.1 GEN2 OS level (North Carolina). Last night and this morning I checked for updates and every time it said I had the latest level.

I had read about the Iconia Tab Update Enhancement application in the google catalog and immediately like many of you thought it suspect. However I did see the same thing on the Acer Support Site. Acer Support Link Go all the way to the A500 section and you'll notice two things. First, you have to select the application tab to see the link to this file and, you'll notice there is another link in the upper right hand corner that says "Hot!!! New Acer Updater v1.02.3502 ." And this file is an .exe and not an .apk.

Anyway...I changed the tablet profile to accept and install APKs that do not come from the Google Market and installed the APK from the support site. Installing it asks for pretty much all the permissions to the tablet so I went ahead anyway. (I can always uninstall it, right? ;) ) As soon as I installed it, I got a notice that a GEN2 update was available and a pretty large one at that. So, did this installed file help get the update? It seems likely.

As for the .exe file, I tried to install it on my computer and it said it wasn't an Acer device. I wonder if you have the Iconia tethered to the computer through USB, will the application install then? I'm not in a position to try that now, but someone else can if they wish.
[Acer Iconia A500] spyd77:

Did you modify/delete/replace any file under /system/app? If so, you have to restore them to stock version. The system checks file signature before updating.

You can also found the error log under /cache. I forgot the exact location, try find it there.
[Acer Iconia A500] masands:
There is no "Force GPU Rendering" option in Settings. Makes me sad because most of the apps don't have it enabled. Apart from that, everything is super smooth.
[Acer Iconia A500] spyd77:
There's no update app running; it can't be run from the market listing, and the only option is to force-close it from "running services". I tried all plus restarting the tablet and still the same message:
