Android Ice Cream Sandwich adoption on the rise

More people are switching over to Google’s latest version of the Android mobile operating system...

Yeah, well, if only Sony would get a move on and ship it for my Xperia Arc and Xperia S.

Some of the manufacturers are a bit slow.

I have had ICS on my Motorola Xoom for ages.

Would be nice to get ICS on my Sony phones before Jelly Bean comes out !!!

 

[Speedster]

So when can my Desire S expect an ICS upgrade?

Think all the xperia's will get it in the next 2 months.

Waiting patiently with my rooted but stock Play.... This is one phone where flasing CM anything = a downgrade as most if not all of the ROMs lose controller functions

 

[USZA]

I wonder if rooted phones were included in Google's stats?

 

[scuzzy]

So who's to blame for ICS not being available locally? The manufacturer or the networks?

 

[Jola]

Mostly the manufacturer. For example, Sony have not released ICS yet

Mostly the manufacturer. For example, Sony have not released ICS yet

Once the manufacturer releases the update to carriers (voda etc) for testing, the blame then goes to the carriers for any further delays.

Motorola RAZR gets Android 4.0.4 ICS update in Greece

According to Motorola's Ice Cream Sandwich software update schedule, the GSM version of the RAZR is bound to get the desired Android update package any moment now. But as it happens, one happy RAZR owner in Greece got the official ICS update earlier than everyone else.

It all happened when the RAZR owner in question had a problem with his device and brought it to Greek carrier Cellcom's customer care center. When he collected it, he got a notification, and his smartphone updated to Android 4.0.4.

When asked if Greece is about to get the over-the-air ICS update, both Motorola and Cellcome responded negatively. Perhaps the guys in the customer care center flashed some of their internal testing ROMs, by mistake. This would suggest that even though the update isn't official just yet, it's already undergoing testing and it should become available soon.

As seen from the screenshot on the left, the firmware version has been named "EMEA" (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) meaning plenty of RAZR owners should be receiving good news soon

Yay....
