Huawei answered me about ICS in FB

[Guest xZaratustrAx]

"Huawei Device: Hi, thanks for your interest in Huawei Device. We will release the international ICS upgrade for the Ascend G300 later this year. More news coming soon!

So, later this year, they said. It may mean not this summer yet.

[Guest Umrtvovacz]

It means like Christmas :D

[Guest xZaratustrAx]

Exactly. Kudos for Dazzozo, shame for Huawei.

(Would still buy more of their products just for the price/performance ratio... Have a 3G modem for notebook used by my mother and I can't believe it survived so long, still like new.)

[Guest dfvt]

I don't know if it will take to much time, vodafone Portugal is already testing ics firmware for this phone

[Guest Davidoff59]

Was it Q2/Q3 initially, then Q3 then soon and now later this year. Jellybean by Dazzozo will be here before they get ICS out

[Guest anything-but]

Huawei time=Valve time tbh.

[Guest wrtease]

i think they will release it next new model and say it was not as promised. typical

[Guest Davidoff59]

[Guest irishpancake]

Hmmmmm.....

verrrrry odd....

unless the site is subject to some sorta Geo IP Restrictions.....like you need a NZ IP to be allowed access.....

for the craic I tried from this phone using Set DNS to change my DNS servers on-the-fly....

same result as from my lappy earlier....

Is there a Great FW of NZ??

[Guest Cyda]

I can see the forums and I am in the UK.

[Guest Davidoff59]

uk here browsing fine on phone

[Guest cutcutcut]

Hang on, is New Zealand gunna get something before the rest of the world?! That never happens! Haha.

[Guest irishpancake]

Well I'll be blowed if I can figure that out!!!

It's a first for me, I'm in Ireland and cannot access that board, just get the error page, so I'm being blocked for some reason by something which don't like my credentials in NZ...

I now am going to have to solve this for my sanity....ya know how it gets!!! :wacko:

I get to the VF NZ site OK...can browse there....

but if I hit the link to forums there, I get the error page!!!!

Edited August 13, 2012 by irishpancake

[Guest irishpancake]

OK guys..... not that it matters....

but using hidemyass with UK proxy server allows access from Ireland...

see my piccys below...

but seriously are those NZ VF ppl paranoid or what :lol:

His crazy can you get?? What did the Irish ever do to New Zealand Voda???

Mad :P

and when I read what the ever-helpful VF Administrator johnr has to say, I'm sorry I bothered....

they can block my IP forever, coz they go nuttin helpful to say!!!

johnr says:

Hi Ben

luvvt asks:

Hi

Can you please confirm if this ics release will include support for hardware accelerated 2D rendering via OpenGL.

Also will this rom be available as a download or flashed via OTA.

And last is there an updated eta on release

Thanks in advance

Luvvt

johnr (helpfully) says:

We don't have the release notes so can't confrim at this stage

luvvt asks (nicely):

Thanks John can you keeps us updated

johnr says, rather sharply:

Updated about?

luvvt lays it out, succinctly:

Can you please confirm if this ics release will include support for hardware accelerated 2D rendering via OpenGL.

Also will this rom be available as a download or flashed via OTA.

And last is there an updated eta on release

any of these

to which the ever-helpful johnr replies....................

zilch....nada

ehhhhhh....silence is golden.....

[he didn't say that, in fact he said nothing]

Hi I am new to MoDaCo and I own a g300. I have been anticipating the release of the ICS update from a distance and I have to say the suspense is killing me now. I get the feeling as if huawei or vodafone are stalling on their customers. It just sounds like they are not communicating a tangible release date for the people and if they keep this up I may just install a vanilla ICS rom to my phone.... come on...."Why are we waiting....."Why are we waiting..."
