Droid RAZR ICS update, some receive rollout but others still wait :UPDATED

Under: Motorola, Phone Software, Verizon
Date: June 29th, 2012

We’ve been writing about the Android 4.0 ICS update for the Motorola Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX on Verizon for some time, after the release to the public has taken a while coming. Recently we heard officially that the rollout was beginning but it seems that while others have now reported receiving the update there are still plenty of other people waiting.

This has been quite a saga but in a nutshell many people feel they’ve been kept far too long waiting for the ICS update for these two prominent handsets. After some amount of consternation and dates that came and went we finally told here that Motorola had now officially stated the update would begin rolling out to users on June 22. We also told how the arrival of the ICS update might occur over a few days but that it was worth checking your phone for updates every now and then. However that was now exactly a week ago and we know that some are still waiting.

Following this a few days ago we gave readers some video news of the ICS update shown on a Droid RAZR MAXX and noted that the update didn’t seem to have hit the public in a widespread way just yet. We also pointed out though that the video mentioned a date of June 27 and so hoped that those who hadn’t already received the update might have done so by then. We had plenty of comments to this article though, from Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX users all over the US saying they still had not received ICS and only a couple of users reporting that they had so far received it.

Now a new report on Droid-Life tells how with the soak test completed, some of their readers report that they have now received the Android 4.0 ICS update, either yesterday or on the previous evening. However it seems that plenty of others still haven’t got that ICS flavor as there are literally hundreds of comments on their article saying they are still waiting.

We’d like to hear from our readers about this situation. Are you one of the fortunate ones to already have received the update? Maybe you’re one of the many who are still waiting in frustration for the ICS update? Let us know by sending your comments and to get some idea of how widespread the issue is it would be helpful if you could also mention your location.

UPDATE: Droid-Life now reports that the ICS update for the Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX is now live and should be available for everybody. If you haven’t already got it then head to Settings>About>System Update. Hopefully all of you who were still waiting according to the comments below now have access to the update. Enjoy!

  • Dmpearce520

    I have the Razr Maxx out here in southern California and nothing yet. Frustrated by the vague and misleading rollout of ICS… If they were going to soak test and slowly release it over a time period they should made it clear to avoid frustration and confusion

    Still waiting in Michigan

  • MSMStannyl

    No update in Baltimore MD.

  • Mgarberproductions

    I’ve had this phone for a few months now and one of the main reasons why I bought it over the Nexus was because it was getting ICS and I quote “Soon” o.o I think Verizon and I have very different definitions of soon 

    • Bigboijb15

      You are 100% right. I could have had ice for quite some time now with the Nexus. I have nothing on my Razr here in Fayetteville, NC.

  • RickInGR

    I have been waiting ever since the purchase 4 months ago.  They told be ICS was coming out real soon.  Verizon misleads people (or lies) a lot.  I have learned through this process to never believe them.  I am still waiting for the update here in West Michigan.   I am very dissapointed in Verizon.

    Bought this phone with the expectation of getting ICS soon. This is BS. I have SPB Shell running so I’m getting to the point where I may not even installl ICS. Should have bought an iPhone.

  • Bobbynbr

    No ICS update in louisiana so far

  • Bogusaccount99

    Still nothing. The lack of communication is just horrible. There has to be a plan in place. No fortune 500 Company just does things randomly. Why not share exactly the plan? They don’t want to share it because if something does go wrong they figure they will upset customers. Well, how many of us are already upset? I’m going on vacation and don’t want the update to hit while i’m traveling. I need reliable info.

    Nope, Motorola Droid Razr in SC with no update as of June 29, 2012. Disappointed. That is a lot of disappointment in Verizon after almost 20 years as a customer with Verizon/Alltell .  This new change they are putting into effect for new and old customers gets one to thinking about their carrier.

  • Jmoore5208

    Razr Maxx in Md. No update

  • Vicphi

    In Georgia. 3 Razrs in our house. One got update last Saturday morning early. Nothing yet on the other 2. Funny, the last one purchased got the update.

  • 62berrydavis

    Hell I’d b happy if this damn razr had four g. No update Baxter springs ks

  • bri

    Still waiting, Delaware.

    Thinking of giving up my relationship with Moto and going to another Android device…. hearing that some people are experiencing Jellybean…..

    Moto is too slow on the OS updates as well as, every time they make a phone, less than 2 months later, there is a better release…. Bionic, to Razr, to Maxx, and now HD is to come?

    Gnex? Galaxy SIII ? 

    Disappointed…..

  • Sandiegoguy72

  • AJ

    In CT and no update yet.

  • California

    Tired of android coming out with new OS while the older smartphone gets stuck with the older versions. It’s like verizon forces your hand to get newest handsets to get the new android OS which even that will be outdated such as the new jelly bean. F verizon and going to sprint. Btw..fios is a complete joke. They have dumb lazy as ppl wo doesn’t know wtf there doing then over charge you on your bill.

    Funny thing is First people said ” talk to a Verizon rep and he confermed the 27th”.  Then heard ” I talked to a Senior Verizon Rep and he said the 29th”  well as of 805am EST here in DC still getting my phone is up to date msg.  Hmm how can it be up to date yet i dont have the up to date Ice Cream Sandwich. 

  • Mikedumaine

    I think this is a good indication of how little verizon and motorola care about their Consumers!

    • Slap_shift

      No update in Florence, Oregon yet, oh wait…. yeah we probably not even on the map, verizon,” where the f*** is Florence?” On the coast man! On the coast!!!

  • Doctorharley63

  • Tbarner

    I got ICS pushed down to my Razr.  The big question is when will they be pushing Jelly Bean?  I pissed to the MAXX to not have Jelly Bean!!!

  • AT

    No update here in Bend, Oregon yet!

  • Jrheyman06

    Still waiting in Youngstown, OH.  Motorola and Verizon are a joke.  Whoever made the decision to provide false hopes to and leave all of their customers in the dark constantly checking for updates like a bunch of idiots needs to be fired.  Or maybe we should just start paying our bills with this reliability?

  • Michael

    No update in Cookeville, TN. I look at it differently from others. The Maxx is a great phone with GB. I am pleased…ICS will get here when it does….patience people…

  • GESevolved

    No update, Buffalo, NY.  If my cell phone was not through work, I’d gladly move back to Sprint and onto another handset.  But free is free I guess.  Still, this is a joke.

  • ldeaton

    Nothing. I was told by Verizon “advanced technical department” it went out on the 22nd and it would go out in batches, I guess I shouldn’t of given Verizon so much credit and remembered how much they lie. I’ve been checking my phone at least five times a day and still nothing. I’m about to give up.

  • Jullom

    • Odubpro

      I wad told the same thing when I bought the phone, thats b.s. , im still waiting in california

    • Joaqfoo

      Same here I was torn between razr maxx battery life and galaxy nexus fast updates…they said being a flagship phone I would see the update in no time..that was in February

  • Rgattshall

    Michigan still waiting.  I call Verizon this morning to ask what was going on and how was this update rolling out.  I was told by a customer service supervisor that he had gotten the update late last night on his phone and that he had been told that the updgrade is suppose to be completed by the end of Q2 which is exaclty one day from now 6/30.  He also said that they rolled this update out to groups in certian areas of the country.  I am eagerly waiting!!

  • Sramirez78

    Brooklyn NY and still have not received ICS.. have one friend in Youngstown Ohio and she has not received ICS along with another friend in Virginia…..

  • Drewaee

    No update yet from New Mexico USA

  • Superman_sam2001

    Over here in Orange Park FLORIDA still waiting for ICS Checking for updates occasionally.

  • Redshoeguy

    No ics in Charlotte, North Carolina and Motorola has been delaying this update for way too long.

  • Joaqfoo

    From Arizona but currently in Mississippi and still nothing…I swear I read that “no update” message too many times…I love my razr maxx but sometimes I wish I got the galaxy nexus because I would have had this months ago and would be looking at getting jelly bean already..google needs more dedicated phones so users can have quick updates but with better hardware choices…kind of the way apple does, as much as I hate iPhone i’m definitely jealous that they get timely updates

  • Hendojake

    Still waiting in frustration I think it’s kinda bullshit how they went about releasing it, being all secretive then a week later saying something about jellybean, am I gonna have to just say screw it and download my own ROM?

  • Herb Rabe

    Nothing in Chicago.  You may want to change the articles title based on comments across many sites to: “some receive roll-out, but MOST still wait”.  All Moto/Verizon need to do is make a unified statement to clear the confusion, but sit back and watch their customer base get frustrated.  That’s a recipe for disaster when contracts come up for renewal. 

    • Joaqfoo

      Yeah ill definitely take this into consideration when my time comes

    • Wfrench2006

      Me too….this is ridiculous!

  • Davidhan232

    nothing in fort lee, new jersey

  • Amorc007

    Scottdale, Az….Nada!!

  • Mcicero1227

    Nothing but bullshit!!! In Connecticut and still nothing!!

  • Prashants17

    Nothing in NC, but not suprised at all had Nexus with ICS for 6 months and was dropping calls like crazy, it was a ICS related problem, switched to Maxx with stable service, I am sure they are being cautious with ICS as they know about the possible call drop issue and are trying to make sure all the bugs are out before the release, so I will wait for sometime, rather than have a ICS ready large screen calculator, which Nexus is proving to be….

  • Theonewright

    a date of the real actual release is all we would need … tell me and im good … but this mabye it will be tomorow ISH.. is sTeWpId ………From now on google and verizon and moto need to get the dates released and then deliver on that deadline ..or have a respectful reasonable explanation why that deadline was not met…This is a business people .. time for you to act like customers really matter.

  • Wer75na

    Im also without the update as of this hours. After reading many of the recent comments, I’ve come to realize that i’m quite happy with my Droid maxx. If the update never came, I feel that this is still the best phone I’ve ever owned. It can only get better when the update comes. So with that being said…using all of my brain power (I Release You!)

    • AT

      Weird how only one of you got it. Same carrier I assume?

      • Steve541

         oh yeah same carrier. It’s funny because im the one who has been anticipating and excited fir the ICS update and my wife had no idea about the update for the most part.

  • http://twitter.com/fl_emt fla_emt

    Ft Lauderdale FL- nadda

  • 4chuns4less

    Based on what Ive read on numerous wesites. I’d give a guess that 95% of Razr/RazrMAXX owners DO NOT have the update. and of the 5% who do id day 3.5% of the were soak testers

    • Rgattshall

      Where did you get your data from?

      • 4chuns4less

         I said its a guess based off the amount of comments Ive read,and ive read ALOT of comments. Just simply scroll throught this feed alone and you might find a small handful who got it

        • Rgattshall

          Hmmm just checking I would guess that about 95% of your guesses are usually about 5% correct with 3.5% of those being complete B.S.

          Just messing with you I think the wait is driving everyone crazy.

          • 4chuns4less

             Agreed…. I thionk everyone is upset cause Verizon just wont give any kind of update with a legit release date

  • Scarecrow

    Gingerbread > ICS

  • Rgattshall

    This wait is killing me I just hit the software update about 50 times in a minute.  I haven’t even received the text saying my phone will update!!! 

  • Bbo

    Pensacola, FL – No update 11:43 CST

  • Xo412ox

    pittsburgh.nothin

  • Baconator1200

    Milwaukee, Wisconsin – sadly still no update :/

  • Fernanda_0

    Do we receive a notification before we get the update?

    • Rgattshall

      That seems to be what many people are saying.  They get a message a few hours before the update starts.  I have no idea if everyone gets this message but I know I haven’t and I also don’t have ICS.

  • RazrMAXX MD

    Do I want ICS ASAP? Yes.  Am I going to throw a temper tantrum like a 3 year old? God no. For all those people saying they would have gotten the Nexus instead of the Razr, just be happy you’ve had a phone that actually works for the past couple months.  I switched from the Nexus to the Razr because the reception was HORRIBLE.  Voice and data were practically unusable here in MD.  So although I miss ICS and have been patiently waiting for it to arrive for the Razr the last 5 months, I have had absolutely no regrets about switching to the MAXX.  It’s not like GB is DOS and ICS is Win 7.  Honestly, ICS is nice but there really isn’t THAT much to get hyped up over except “it’s new and better”.  Let me guess, the week after you have ICS you’ll be back on here b!tching about how we won’t be getting Jelly Bean any time soon?  /rage /cry /pout 

    Ditching Moto (and even Verizon) because ICS has taken longer than expected? Bye. Don’t let the door hit you in the @ss on the way out.  I shudder to think how you lead real/meaningful lives in the real world.  You’re probably the same entitled-for-no-reason trash I saw at a restaurant last week… berating their innocent server and demanding a full refund on their meal  last week because the appetizers were 5 minutes late.

    • Droid Razr Blued

      YA! what he said lol

      Forget all the drama I just want the update

  • Loseyourself74

    Newport Beach, Ca – No Update yet. My room mates both work for Verizon and have some sort of employee special edition Razr Maxx that has red accents. They both got the update on the first day. Verizon seems to be favoring it’s employees with the updates first. 

  • http://twitter.com/bdams19 brian damato

    NYC – No update.  

  • Brian

    Atlanta GA Still no update

  • Chris

    Charlotte, NC… No Sammich

  • Dcaptdan

    I would expect most the comments here are people who didn’t get the update yet since that’s probably the only reason your here to begin with. The people who got the update already are too busy playing with it to be here posting. Just my 2 cents.

  • Biffjones

    Tall, FL – 2 Co-workers Razr’s Updated to ICS, my razr maxx and other maxx not updated.

    as per Motorola rep: “As I have checked, the full deployment of ICS update has officially started. The update will be sent via OTA randomly. You should be receiving an update notification on your phone. any moment from now or in the next couple of days. Let’s just wait for it. I hope you get it today or in the next coming days as the update is being rolled out to hundreds of thousands per batch. You can manually check for update from time to time: Go to Settings -> Tap About phone -> Tap System updates”

    Randy in Phoenix, Razr Maxx user. Still impatiently waiting.

  • Chris

    I received my ICS update last Friday, exactly one week ago. Been working great and all that, but my wife’s Razr still doesn’t have the update. What gives?

  • Mccarty55

    newton nj no update yet

  • Redshoeguy

    Cnet has a review on it? HOW?!?!??!??!?

  • Captainbc52

    Brandon in TN…still no update. Bought the phone in Feb. thinking it would have ICS soon after and here I am almost July…and still getting only rumors.

  • Jullom

    That cnet article makes it sound like all droid maxx owners have it lol

  • KILLAHOE925

    Im sick of waiting and now there’s jelly bean! WTF

  • Nadodude111

    I received the update at 9:30 pm last night here in San Diego. This software is amazing and a much needed improvement. Makes the phone much easier to use and is so much quicker.

  • Tmtaylor1669

    I am a DROID RAZR owner in San Diego and have not received it as of 3 pm Friday June 29th and am getting no answers from Motorola or Verizon I spent 35 minutes between the half dozen. Calls

  • Richardjs

    Just so u all know the update has nothing to do with your location

  • Eddievanb

    7pm 6/29/12, Orange County, no ICS received yet……might have to go to the ice cream parlor instead……sick of waiting

  • 62berrydavis

    Nadodude111 how long was ur down time for download?

  • AntDogg65

    Still freaking waiting in Nashville, TN! !!

  • Baboyer087

    Still waiting, ridiculous. Get your act together verizon and Motorola.

  • Curt612

    Nothing in Atlanta

  • Dgfgy

    Just talked to Verizon……..POINTLESS!
    OTA updates suck whatever happen to web links -_-

  • Blbip

    Help! ! Nothing here in Williamsport PA. There a few hundred thousand of these phones and at 350mb Verizon doesn’t wasn’t to crash the servers with all of yous going crazy. So its going to take a little while. The sad part is that some people don’t give two s#&$ts and they get the ushould update! Should probably take a couple of days/Weeks until is all said and done. The Web site reporters probably get it first.

  • Delante Brown

    Still waiting in Lynchburg, Va. Really Verizon? Do we have to wait really? I don’t get it.

  • Mcnap5

    My husband got it yesterday. He has the
    razr. I have the maxx and to date didnt receive the update. Apopka,FL

  • Lorf45g

    I know everyones mad but it has nothing to do with location or least this particular update. 2nd for all of you that say why don’t they roll out ota at the sametime. Really? Just think of the congestion this would create on the network. <~~~4G LOL COME ON. Now the manual link suggestions i agree completely set up manual wifi connect only downloads to mirror links yes would work fairly easy and not congest the vrw network. VRW can do better and should, everyone should write to vrw CEO and inform him of this with your accounts. The tier crap being forced will be the game changer for vrw<~~~loyals won't forget that when next contract extension come.

  • Cameron Sanders

    marion,al no ics yet :[

  • Sexy this

    No update on my RAZR.. Massachusetts /New Hampshire

  • Cdythms

  • 4chuns4less

    Well there is a tweet going around from a Verizon PR employee that says will be available for downlaod through About Phone>System updates staring tomorrow June 30th but at this point ill believe it when i see it

    • 4chuns4less

       Was able to pull the DL @ 6am in NJ

  • N100es

    Razr- No ice update yet. 6/29 6:40 PM

  • Joedew1996

    Springfield Missouri and no ICS yet.

  • Kjlundgren375

    talked to a VCPS (Verizon Customer Pacification Specialist) the other day, June 24th to be exact and she told me just to wait until July 5th or 6th and then manually update the phone.  She also said ICS had to be tweaked so it work on Verizon’s network. LOL!  I can’t believe the things they teach these people to say.  Windows doesn’t have to make sure it can work with Charter internet service before it sends out Windows 8.  Either way June 29 and still no update here in GA. 

    I believe updates are sent out per serial number which is equivalent to how long ago you bought the device.

    • Steve541

       Me and my wife got our Razr’s the day they came out. Her’s got the update yesterday and i’m still waiting for mine.

  • John

      • Gggabzman

        Razr Maxx in eugene or

        still no update 
        i am getting pissed

  • Ark4peace

    Detroit, MI. 12:25am. No update yet. I night my razr maybe a week after it came out, so it should be high on the list if it’s by purchase date. I wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known it would take this long to for them to bloat the vanilla ics with their Verizon crap apps before they’d push it phones…

  • Jhiltabidel

    No update, 2 month old phone in SC. Verizon really should include lubrication with their contracts.

  • Dan

    Huh. Not even a HINT of an update for my Razr here in Colorado.

  • David Spikes

    Portland, OR….As of 9:53 on my Razr Maxx, still have not gotten ICS. Very anxious to receive this update! Not holding my breath though….

  • Mab541c

    ICS popped up on my RAZR at 12:49am… It’s downloading now. Charlotte NC

  • mike

    Nothing :c south orange county

  • Redshoeguy

    II bought my razr maxx the day it came out so It does not filter by date purchased. When I bought this phone there was a huge billboard sign saying ics ready and six months later and I don’t have it. When my upgrade comes around again Motorola better have something real good against there competition. FALSE ADVERTISING MOTOROLA.

    But I keep getting Google play updates for ics support and it’s logical for a 2 hour update to go on a Saturday. Fack this!!!!

  • Davidstepura
