Software Update Weekly Wrap – 25th July, 2012

What will this post tell me?

The information in this Weekly Wrap only details information on software updates that manufacturers have advised are currently under preparation for submission, or have physically provided to Vodafone for testing and certification. Although you may hear news about updates from around the web and overseas, please be aware that local delivery timelines can differ. This is due to local hardware variants and Australian regulatory requirements.

What will this post not tell me?

We rely on our manufacturing partners to develop software updates prior to submission to us for testing and certification. We will only provide news on an update once the manufacturer has confirmed its forthcoming availability to Vodafone. However, due to the fluid nature of this development process, delivery schedules may shift and a previously communicated update may not enter testing.

What’s in the labs?

The table below lists all updates that are currently undergoing the various stages of testing.

Devices which are listed in bold type indicate a change from last week:

Manufacturer	Model	Current	Future	Status

    Would Crazy Johns EVO 3D be getting the handsets first or do they use a different version of the EVO 3D?

    - Kieran McIlwain says:
      
      Hi Leon, if your EVO 3D is Vodafone stock you will receive it in-line with the roll out to other Vodafone devices. The best way to check is whether or not you have a Vodafone start-up animation. If so, you’re in luck! If not, you’re probably best placed to contact Crazy John’s directly for details on the roll out to their devices.
      
      As an aside, in a previous comment you asked about the Android version the update will be shipping with – I’ve just confirmed that this will be Android 4.0.3 with HTC Sense 3.6.

Kieran – Any news on what went wrong with the Nokia Lumia 800 update to MCR3?

Your post describes the update as “This update is now available” – which is a bit inaccurate, as nobidy has got it yet.

Any indication of ETA would be appreciated – as I need to know if I should go out and get a dedicated WiFi Hotspot device for my trip next week.

Cheers,

It does also link through to the articles which now have a notice posted at the top regarding the updates.

Are you serious?Xperia S ICS is still testing?I am not even interested in the upgrade releasing.
Because there are the yellow tints issuse on my xperia s screen.
But vodafone should pay more attentions about your customers.
You can’t tell the date, can’t tell the reason,can’t give us any more informations, all you guys do is just letting us wait.
Even right now I can say next Wednesday is still testing, because even if it has been aproved, we stil need to wait for a long time.

  Hi Jerry, if your device is showing signs of hardware defects I’d invite you to drop it off at your nearest Vodafone store to be sent for assessment and repair. A software update won’t fix a physical issue with your phone.

  Hi Jason, can I ask which particular update you’re waiting on? I understand from previous discussions that you have a HTC One X, is that correct? The table above lists everything currently undergoing testing, and as the HTC One X is not listed it means HTC have not submitted an update to us.
  
  As you’re aware, we can’t release an update without testing it, and unfortunately we can’t test something we don’t have.

a bit disapointed with the JellyBean for Nexus S – from yes you will be the first people to get it to I’m not too sure whats going on. I guess its just the expectation Vodafone threw out there and then saying whoops my bad – not JB yet. It would be good to see why the rollout turned out this way – I mean from the ICS rollout it didn’t give out false expectations, I’m not too sure if its because there’s push from marketing (Twitter post promising update)?

What the?

Does this mean you have it and are testing? Is it pre-release? Is it something where the Nexus S might not get it?

Most useless update ever.

Doesn’t tell us whether we are getting it or not. Whether you are/have actively testing/tested it. Whether you’ve even seen it yet.

May as well write “Stuff” for the update field for it. Just as useful and just as accurate as what is there.

Hi Kieran,

I have two questions;
How do Vodafone normally supply their updates? Is it over the air or would it be with the phone’s compatible computer suite, such as Kies for Samsung?
And I have a Samsung Note which was purchased from Vodafone but has been unlocked using the website and is now being used with another carrier, will I still receive and/or need the official Vodafone update?
Reply
Sunday, July 29, 2012 at 11:19 pm
- Kieran McIlwain says:
  
  Hi Damian, Samsung supply their software using both Kies and Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA). Occasionally there may be a small delay between the release via Kies and the release via FOTA. Regarding your handset, your device will still follow our upgrade path as we were the carrier who sold it to you. The SIM card you’re currently using has no bearing on update eligibility.

  Hi mike, I’m not in a position to comment on HTC’s plans for future updates. I’d recommend contacting them directly for information.

Hi Kieran,
Just wondering if the Jelly Bean update for the Nexus S will eliminate a lot of problems that the ICS update has? Ever since i updated mine from Gingerbread to ICS it has given me nothing trouble.Cheers

HI, for the Nexus S where (I swear it didn’t say this this morning) “We’ll let you know when Jelly Bean is available. Please stay tuned.”, does that mean it’s done being tested/checked and is going to be released soon?

Can’t you hurry up with the jellybean update for the galaxy nexus. I’m really starting to get annoyed at the wait.

  Hi Nick, at this stage Samsung are still preparing that update for submission to us. I’m afraid we just don’t have an update to test. Testing of updates is absolutely vital, and we can’t release something we haven’t seen or approved, and I’m afraid it’s impossible to test something we don’t have.
  
  I’ll keep you updated if anything changes but until then stay tuned.

The official response from HTC is that they cancelled the ICS update for the HTD desire HD due to the inability to secure Customer data…will it still be released if we the customer sign off that we don’t care if we lose data and have the latest release????
I would choose and OS update over losing data (which I have backed up anyway).
