I've given up :( Kies is awful, never connects to my phone. Tried following the guides but seem to technical just to update some software. Times like this I see why people get an iPhone.

Mates with Iphones have had just as many issues, and some have bricked their handsets. HTC seems to be the easiest to update with. Glad I have one

I agree with the HTC praise, always found them very easy to get on with in all areas including upgrades. The only problem I've had update wise is they don't have a timescale for an update to ICS on the Desire HD so I've ended up rooting mine after 17 months of ownership. Am running Ice Cold Sandwich now and it seems very quick and not had any issues with it so far.

I love the fact that you dont need to plug an HTC into a PC or laptop to update the software, I went from Froyo to Gingerbread on my Desire and Gingerbread to ICS on my Sensation, both flawlessly over the air.

HTC Sense is also a great overlay to complement the base OS.

Still waiting for my Xoom to get ICS, annoying that the US have had it for weeks, again that's an OTA update.

Root the Xoom. Don't wait for the updates.

The EOS custom ICS ROM's are really good.

Yes my old HTC Hero upgraded itself, very easy (in fact did it all by itself).

IF Kies worked properly, then it should in theory be easy, but it just keeps saying connection error all the time. Reading this morning though and someone recommended turning of my Firewall before trying. Anyone tried this?

Does the phone connect in other modes such as mass storage etc ? It is most likely just Kies being the problem, it wont let my Galaxy S2 connect at all, yet in every other mode its fine. Luckily ICS came down over the auto update thing for me but then i got bored and put a different rom on it anyways.

Yeh it connects via USB and if I just treat it as a mass storage device through Windows Explorer, but in Kies it just keeps trying and failing to connect.

What network are you on then? I didn't think Samsung S2 did firmare auto updates?

Really? As I om on Orange too so if I can do it like that, happy days!

Where did you go into on the menu to find it, or was it an update update notification like it would be for an App update?

Yeah honestly, I had been waiting ever since they announced it. Been making it force check itself everyday until it worked.

Go to settings, about, software update. The top one, update will go off and check if the update is available. Then below are a few check boxes such as Auto update, Wifi only and Push message. Be best off being connected to WiFi when you check as the firmware is almost 300mb. Let me know how you get on.

Nope sadly that is literally all you can do. What version of Android is it currently on? Mine was 2.3.5.

Yeh 2.3.5 currently...so not sure why it would be available to you and not to me if we're both Orange customers. The wonder of technology eh!!!

They might be doing a progressive roll-out so just be patient and you should get it in the next couple of weeks.

The wife just upgraded to the HTC One S today. Out of the box this looks like an unbelievable phone, as I've said before I had to root my Sensation to get the best performance out of it (to put ICS on it before it came out officially) but the One S is fast as fook out of the box. Very impressive!

Stil no updates available for me. The next Android software will be out at this rate before it happens. Very dry.
