The weirdest damn thing happened to me...I received a system update available notification (i.e. ICS) as I was going to bed. I thought I'd just do it in the morning. When I woke up, the notification was gone, and if i try to go to manually do a system update, it says device is up to date.
anyone experience such an issue, and how can I resolve this?
thanks
Same thing happened to me. I was on 3G and decided when I get home I'd use wifi to download and update. Now it says up to date.
so weird!! all other updates previously would remain for days... anyone find a solution to this yet?
Same happened to me to this morning, it disappeared

wait or
you can update ics by making manual promotion
I prefer to avoid manual for two reasons:
1- I still believe the actual OTA version varies slightly than what is claimed to be the official OTA release in zip format. Little touches are always done before pushing an OTA update.
2- I have a broken power button, so can't do much in bootloader, or even get into it.
Perhaps google took it back to do some more bug fixing. But I'd like to hear an official statement if that's the case

Please explain. I've tried:
Checkin
System Updates
Resetting phone.
Seems like the update was pulled. No matter what I do it says the phone is up to date. With all these stories of people bricking their phones I want to stay relatively legit.

Same thing. When I heard google started pushing ICS, I flashed back my nandroid backup of my stock 2.3.4 to get the OTA update, Immediately I got 2.3.6 update and installed it, and few hours later when I wasn't home I got the 4.0.3 update, and I thought I'll do it when I get home, but then it disappeared and doesn't comes back no matter what I do.
I did backup to the corrent stock (2.3.6) and tried to flash back to 2.3.4, thought maybe it will push me again, but now it doesn't push me 2.3.6 either.
Are OTA updates one-time only ? or it supposed push me 2.3.6 again ?
anyways I restored 2.3.6 and I wait hopefully to 4.0.3 again.
Please update here if you know any solution. I know I can install it manually, but I prefer clean OTA version.
after I update to ICS manually, the VPN doesnot work, so I flashed back to 2.3.6 and want to update by OTA.
but till then, the 2.3.6 system says it's up to date...
looks like it's pulled by google...hopefully for some enhancements... still waiting for something official
we had it in our hands and we lost it
Same story.
Last night I saw the system update notification and after 30' (charging the battery) I lost it.
I suppose it's due to issues with ICS 4.0.3. For example I can't make outgoing calls (SMS, incomming calls and data - works fine). Had to revert back to 2.3.6. Now everything works. So for two days i saw update notification and today it dissapeared. So I hope they found a problem and will fix it soon.
yeah, I guess I'm glad I didn't install it then. I'm sure it was pulled for a valid reason, so it's best to wait...fingers crossed that it won't be too long of a wait.
In the mean time I think I need to get my power button fixed, or hope the widgetlocker works on ICS so I can use my volume locker to wake the screen!!

Not an official story by any means but it looks like there is definitely something going on.

EDIT: I just noticed one of his sources links back here.
was on gingerbread. waited and waited for the OTA updated. ended up rooting. ice cream sandwich update came out and couldn't get it OTA. used Kies and installed the update. finally, now have ICS. lost root access. so anyone out there with the official ics? recommend what to do now!

I'd flash a ROM. I recommend CM10 to have Jelly Bean! There are a lot of ROMS in the dev section. Go choose one. Make sure you flash a recovery!
Sent from my CM10 Blaze
I'll second the recommendation to go to a JB based rom.
any convincing wins for the JB release? as i am pretty content with what i have on ICS. everything has been smooth so far, nothing buggy at all.
improvements todo: root, remove bloatware, get wifi tethering to work (currently broadcasts signal but devices cannot connect - says connection is unsuccessful)
here are my screenshots (if i should get something else):
1. Lock screen - I noticed the text notification that appears turned black in ics, which i like. it just blends in with my lock screen wallpaper. going for the simple dark black wallpaper for longer battery life? i guess haha

2. Screen 1 - man that weather widget that comes with Eye in the Sky is the best weather app! plain simple
farm9.staticflickr.com/8251/8453732494_45cd46759f.jpg
3. Screen 2 - My home screen with a black google search bar that came with ics, yay! also using Widgetsoid with those widgets that i happen to use quite often.
farm9.staticflickr.com/8381/8453732504_333f2afecf.jpg
4. Screen 3 - Well more Widgetsoid action going here. This is my utilities section. I just decided to turn my regular icons into the widgetsoid theme. The weather is actually USB tethering now here. I am enjoying the sound recorder and flashlight of easy access.
farm9.staticflickr.com/8385/8453732484_e8fef3b090.jpg
so yep, recommend widgetsoid and eye in the sky. AND I AM A NOOB ON XDA CAN'T POST LINKS OR PICS
Swype is a little slow in messaging for some reason. A weird icon appears every time at the top of notifications indicating 'Swype in use' so that may be making swype a bit more laggy. ANYONE EXPERIENCE THIS? this new icon appears in ics and not gingerbread. what about JB?
There is the Tweaked ICS rom also if you do like ICS. It's already debloated and optimized. The Swpye icon can be diasbled in the swype options.
Also you can disable most the bloatware now that you are on the stock ICS. Go to settings > apps > select "all" and disable what you want (if it can be).
As for JB, they are all pretty good (bug free). I'm currently using Slim Bean 3.1 with the inverted packages, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. Try them and find out. But you still have to flash CWM and make a backup with it first thing.
GL and enjoy.

Some may need to have the updates uninstalled first, it's in the same location.
it seems like i was able to do a lot of stuff already without rooting. thanks to the disable app feature in ICS, it is pretty much like titanium backup. ended up bypassing the built-in hotspot check and can tether wifi.
well, i ended up rooting. so what am i to use root features on?
guess i can only think of AdFree. also, i can permanently remove disabled apps. anything else to take advantage of root access?
If you go to a Jellybean based rom, most of them have button light notifications. "What is that?", you may ask...
The blaze doesn't have an LED to visually notify you if a call came or a message came...sure, the screen can activate when the call is coming, but if you're in the other room and don't hear it, or if the phone is on silent and you don't see it, you'll never know about it until you actually check your phone by turning on the screen...
Which many people do INCESSANTLY.
Button light notifications can enable the back/home/voice/settings LED to light up so you can be notified of it. It's nice to have.
Also, Google Now works by default with JellyBean, no funny business required. I had Google Now on rooted ICS and I liked it, but the only one that works on ICS for our phone is of course a much older version of Now, and it doesn't support certain features.
Google now is great, check it out on youtube or something.
This might get asked a lot but how is the battery life on JB??
For ICS, I'm currently charging about once every 1.5 days. I usually charge it at night, sometimes I can skip one night and charge it the night after. Sometimes I do use the phone a lot during the day and need to charge it within the next night, maybe even within half a day, but rarely. Sometimes I just charge it at work, so ~1.5 days. To get the 2 days worth, I'm usually Airplane mode-ing it when I'm definitely not going to be looking at my phone, such as at work except for breaks - I can probably go 2.5 days like this, but I still charge at 2.
How does JB compare?
This is from cm10

That must've been the nightlies back in November huh lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
I updated my AT&T HOX last evening and I've already stumbled upon some bugs:
1. The wall charger and USB cables I used with ICS no longer charge my phone. I left my phone charged the whole night and it went up from 14% to 30%...
2. There is no way to remove debugging mode when connecting the device to the PC.
3. The taskbar time is delayed. When I woke up (incidentally as you will see in section 4) it was 5:59AM. My hand watch said 7:20...
4. The alarm clock never went off! luckily my biological clock was running on time. It might have to do with the fact that Tasker, which I have running silent mode until 7:00AM then back to normal mode after that, takes its time from the taskbar (5:59). This is a pretty fundamental and basic phone function.
5. There is a new icon on my notifications bar. I have no idea what it does...
I have a screenshot attached for section 3,4,5 .
Anybody have this sort of behavior on their device too?
I'm not on the AT&T 3.18 OTA, but I've been on a couple different 3.17 base custom and stock-rooted ROMs, and haven't noticed any of these problems.
If you updated by OTA (which your probably did) consider backing up your personal data, and doing a factory reset. Many (although not all) random bugs can be traced back to incompatibilities of existing apps and settings with the OTA, that a factory reset and starting fresh will resolve. Updating with keeping user data (although convenient) is really a messy way to do it. A fresh slate gets the best results.
The new icon is for NFC. You can just go into Settings and turn of NFC. No idea why they have it "on" by default on the OTA. Might have to do with AT&T's Isis plans.
My notification bar is randomly poppinig up and freezing the phone. Also, time and date settings just come up randomly. You can turn off screen and back on and it unfreezes. Any ideas WTH is causing this? Stock 4.4 Maxx. Same issue with multiple launchers so I don't think that's it. Any help would be appreciated

if you are rooted try installing systemui.apk from someone else or download it from my rom on original development or if you are not rooted, reinstall the firmware again via FXZ.
As the question states, how are you going about updating your stock rooted N5 every month?
I'm looking for the path of least resistance here. I suppose another option is to suppress the System Update Available notification somehow and just update less often.
I have the same question.
I know that you CAN remove the notification by holding on the update notification and choosing to disable he notifications for it.
But I would love to know how to easily update without having to flash the new stock ROM every time (and without pushing via adb from the computer.)
