Hey everyone, I've seen around the forums that ICS is pretty hit and miss as far as radio performance. Some people are doing well, and some like myself think that the radio isn't that great in ICS. From past Moto experience I know that Motorola itself is pretty hit and miss when it comes to implementing radios. I also know that matching RIL and radio is most important when it comes to signal quality and battery life. So I'm asking everyone to check their version and post it here so we can see what we have floating around. I'm mainly interested in ICS users, but I welcome all to post what they have.
The easiest way to find out is to open a cmd prompt, terminal, whatever you're comfortable with and enter the following.
Code:
adb shell (terminal users can skip this step)
su
getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"
The output should be something like this
ST-Ericsson Generic RIL Ice Cream Sandwich
If you want to help please post your phone model, RIL version, android version, carrier, and country. Thanks all.

Hey guys
first thx for helping, im thinking about buying the Experia Arc with the androod 2.3 installed but im kinda afraid cuz very soon the android 3 will come out so i want to ask ya is it possible to update the 2.3 to the new version ?
cheers
3.0 is not available for phones, it's tablet only. 3.1 (Ice Cream Sandwich) was only announced today, and won't be released until October at the earliest, so no one is going to have any information on porting it to any device at this point.

Actually 3.1 is an update to Honeycomb which is soon to be released to the Xoom. Ice Cream Sandwich is 2.4 which includes mixed features from Honeycomb and Gingerbread. Also Honeycomb has been ported to some devices. I got one to work on the HTC Hero, although every port lacks almost every feature because it is from the SDK image and not source as source has yet to be released.

thanks for your replays,
but still whenever the new version come out will i be able to update my Os ? used to have X1 before and to put an official 6.5 was a pain so is it the same with android ? or i can always update to the latest version
thanks again
The Cm7 development tree is gradually incorporating ice cream/honeycomb features into 2.3.4 with "tablet tweaks" while we're all waiting for aosp. Not very many options currently exist besides moving the status bar to the bottom, but the soft buttons are being merged now and most devices currently have 3.0 ports that just need the actual source to be released now to get things like phone.apk and wifi drivers working. I wouldn't be surprised to see a rom dev have a fully working port for the arc the day after google releases the 3.0/2.4 aosp, so I would base your buying decision on the performance of the arc compared to other 2.3 devices currently out or being released this summer.

Upgrading the Android OS is always going to be 'hard' if it is not an official upgrade by the distributors of your given phone. If you are rooted, which for some phones is a difficult process, you can upgrade, albeit that it's not official for your phone.

From what Sony is announcing you will get the update to whichever version of Android is available past version 2.3 faster than they have released updates in the past. If this is true don't worry so much about the version of Android you're running since 2.3 is actually a very much complete package (in my opinion) and you can also say the same for version 2.2. Anything 2.1 and below is not even worth considering.
I have a European 3G Xoom, which ICS version shall I flash, if I'd like to get some 4.0 fun? I know that 3G won't work, but I don't want to brick my Xoom, better ask before.

I have a US 3G XOOM that hasn't been upgraded to 4G and I flashed the 4G ROM which caused an issue with the radio staying awake non stop searching for a signal. This ate battery like crazy. The EOS dev suggested that I flash the WiFi version of the ROM and it worked like a charm. That is, of course, if you don't use your 3G and run WiFi only all the time like I do. Otherwise, you're out of luck for now until someone cooks up a ROM specifically for 3G devices. Also, you need to make sure it would even work for non US XOOMs first, obviously.
I'm not sure if the devs even read this section, but if you don't get an answer from one here, you should PM them or ask in one of their threads. They've been very helpful to me and answered every question I needed help with. I hope you get it worked out. It's an excellent ROM.
Thanks, I was thinking about trying the wifi version. But I better ask before. I had some bad luck recently flashing 4.0 on my Nexus S. So I prefer asking before doing.
I have been running the EOS wingray rom and so far everything is stable and working except the faceunlock and silly faces effect. Check it out.
this Rom is realy good but you need fastboot to install it:

and you have to use a alternate recovery.img,

zip the universal xoom root

It runs on my 601 like Hell
I flashed ICS (WiFi only) on my MZ601. While all run wells, I am unable to go back to Honeycomb. My tablet model (in About Tablet) is now Xoom instead of MZ601. Unable to flash the system.img file using Fastboot.
So in case you'd like to go back to Honeycomb to collect an OTA update to ICS, it might be an issue.
It has arrived ... work VERY well.

Hi all,
Yesterday I've installed the SkyRocket Ice Cream Sandwich following all the steps.
I've also installed the MMs Time Stamp fix.
From the market, SMS Time fix has been installed because there were 5 hours missing from receiving SMS...
Everything was going perfect. My SMS timestamp was perfect too.
This morning, 5 hours were added to my received sms....
So I've desinstalled the SMA Time fix installed from the Market and now everything is ok.
What could cause that ?
Another quick NOOBS question:
I've installed ICS... In my about section, I could see:
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.11+
Android Version: 2.3.6
When people talks about Ice Cream Sandwich, they talk about Android version 4.0 .
I'd like to know if this version is a real '4.0' ICS Android OS is it a 'look like' ICS ?
Thanks,
Punky

Just letting you know that searching the forum gives you all the answer for ur questions. And for sms time fix idk what's wrong but lots of ppl had that issues but i never had that issues.

Thanks for the answers....
I already knew that ICS is not available for our phone..... I would have install it !
I should have asked it this way: Is the Android version we have installed is doing the same job as the 4.0 at the OS level .....
For the SMS issue.... this morning, I had to reinforce it and add 5 hours to the incoming sms....

There is no android version that does same function as ics and Try flashing same radio that you have from Dev section it will fix ur problem.
I'm about to install the ICS 2.3.6... I realize it is more like an ICS emulator than the real ICS that was released (correct me if I am wrong)... now since there is all this rave about the real ICS, provided I did install the new ROM (still new to the ROM procedures so please help me understand):
1. Should/Can I launch the new ICS update (whenever it comes out)?
2. If and after I should/do, are all the procedures for installing all current ROMS still in place, i.e., after running the official ICS update, and I still like the custom ROM better, is the process exactly the same? I am thinking this is analogous to installing Vista to an XP and then going back to XP without a problem as long as the drive is formatted.
Thanks!
You wont be able to do the over the air update to the offical ICS since you are running a custom rom. You could however probably revert to your original rom and update that way (if you backed up your original stock rom). But after the ICS comes out it wont take long before people on this forum have ripped out all the garbage that came with samsung ICS and you will get a better product anyway.
there is no ice cream sandwich just yet for this phone, the rom your referring to i believe is seanzscreams ice cream sandwich rom which is gingerbread 2.3.5, themed to look like ice cream sandwich, and your going to have to revert to stock in order to do the OTA update when its released.....most likely towards the end of Q1
---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
also i highly doubt your going to want to flash back to gingerbread when ice cream sandwich is launched for the phone, im currently running it on my test device the Samsung Captivate and its sweeeeeettt!!
Ya ya definitely.. the funny part is, once I install the new ROM here, even when ICS comes out, it'll be like, I'll wait for the new ROMs based on the real ICS... kinda makes me feel like I will miss out on the "genuine" ICS, but, maybe NOT, LOL...
Hello all,
I'm new here, first post! I have an old Samsung Galaxy Stellar I no longer use so I did a little bit of research into what could be done with it. I've compiled all known info about the Stellar here: rootzwiki.com[slash]topic[slash]112266-history-of-progress
This includes several different firmware / bootloader versions, Ice Cream Sandwich stock ROMS, Jelly Bean updates, how to root, and Loki'd kernels. Hope you enjoy!
