Orange ICS Update

[Guest ayziaa]

in france virigin mobile seems be working fine on orange sim lock (I'll be sure next week when the sim get activated) and it's cheap (compare to orange prices). Don't you guy have virgin mobile in uk? I'll be paying 5 euros a month 45 min 450 sms but no data. It will do for 3 months :D

I know I france virgin mobile is on orange network but I do not know about other coutries

Hopefully one day you be able to buy android with giffgaff out the box :lol: I think they would do better at this than orange, at least the bootloader would be unlocked with them.

[Guest rickywyatt]

I'm on T-Mobile because it you topup by 20 then text 6MONTHWEB you get 6 months web for 20 and its unlimited to :)

[Guest Simon O]

Yes. Virgin Mobile UK works fine on the phone. Orange, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile all work fine as they are essentially the same network (as in they all use EE).

[Guest]

So sim lock is not that bad then really, there are plenty of options.

@rickywyatt, is there still fair usage on t-mobile ?

yep but what thay do is after 3gb thay cap you down but I no a trick to remove the cap I download nearly 12gb a month lol

[Guest i am not a hacker]

How do you remove the cap?

[Guest rickywyatt]

I could tell you but I'll have to kill you lol na just joking what I do is after 4pm I switch the phone data off then on cap is then removed lol

[Guest i am not a hacker]

What! Their capping is pretty useless. I turn off data whenever I'm not using it. How do you use 12gb! No wifi at home? I use max 5gb

[Guest DumonKri]

Haha! That is genius!

I really don't want the hassle of changing my number again that's my problem. How come people who normally unlock phones on the internet or ebay can't do it then?

On giffgaff I did around 10gb monthly lol, loads of hd youtube is probably what does it.

[Guest]

Whats the status here then, are we able to pull the orange update from someones device ?

[Guest ayziaa]

So are we hoping that we can get sdcard slot working with that ota pull?

I'm waiting for the download to finish, currently at 31%.

[Guest i am not a hacker]

So does the orange ICS allow sd card usage?

[Guest]

Has anyone tried sd card with orange update ? And was it official from orange that sd card would be working ? We will soon know if someone on orange ics tries lol

[Guest Claude33580]

ICS Update is now available - I just checked!!! Works only over Wifi!

[Guest Gibson.1]

Would we not be able to get the Orange update from Orange via emailing them saying ota not working, not enough data connection etc. ? Then we could have update.zip.

For those of us on Xolo ICS.

Good idea although their e-mail is still down. I've posted the question on their Twitter and Facebook accounts claiming a very slow internet.

[Guest geoff1951]

orange email has never been up!

I thought of it before I updated to Xolo, due to the amount of 'no information' responses I assumed it was scripted response, but the other response was 'keep checking this page for more information' which was a link to the software update page. So I assumed that was scripted too which would mean that should be a perfectly viable option.

Also, people in the Orange shop always say to check the webpage. So surely we're due a USB update too.

Live chat only available between 8am-8pm, assume its the same for helpers facebook/twitter so I'll annoy them tomorrow.
