    An OTA update is now available for this phone, it is B895, and it adds in a backup tool.
    I read on Modaco that this is the last update before ICS.

    When you update to B895 an update for ics then appears as an ota update but requires a wifi connection to download

    Have just put ICS on via OTA update with no problems. Running well.

    Its slowed mine down a lot. The GUI is quite laggy now. I'm thinking of rooting and going with a different rom. The UK is on a later official VF rom. Why did we get an earlier one?

    Can some please copy the update.app for us all?....put it up on the net, i'm sure the lads at Modaco would love to snoop around the update.

    Anyone notice that photos from Facebook don't auto integrate with your google contacts? From googling around it seems to be an ICS thing. Any way to fix this without an app? If not what is the best app to use?

    Assuming it doesn't auto-delete it should be in a folder called dload.

    I just bought my Huawei Ascend from Vodafone yesterday (finally, lol....I had a torturous time deciding which phone to get)......

    I switched over from O2 to Vodafone, just on PayAsYouGo.....and all I have done so far is turn it on and input a few contacts etc.

    I am reading so many different things regarding this update. Should I get it, or should I wait? There is a comment from a man on the Vodafone Ireland facebook page giving them hell for how bad it is, yet it seems some here are fine wit it?

    So confusing :(

    (sorry if this is the wrong area to ask this)

    Cheers.

    I've checked mine - in the "internal" folder on the file manager there is a download folder but nothing in it, and I can't find it anywhere else. It's over 300megs so I suspect it self deletes

    Edit - in my sdcard folder there is a file called Update.app - but it appears to be 609mb - whereas the ice cream sandwich update had said 300mb when it was downloading??

    All I can say is that the phone I have is running smoothly without a hitch - but it's not just one upgrade - there are about 3 consecutive updates you perform one at a go, the last one being Ice Cream.

    That might include the other updates as well. To be honest the B936 rom is the same worldwide with the exception of the VF crap so I don't know if there's any need to upload it since it's already available on Modaco. Might be handy for people like me on custom roms though.

    I loaded the 936 update app from the link you gave me yesterday on the other Huawei thread. Besides the Vodafone splash screen its no different to 926 or 927 roms on modaco,

    Really I would have assumed they don't have all the trials, vodafone panels you can't uninstall? What about the other stuff like facebook and twitter is that all included on that firmware?

    I only loaded it as a base for infusion. Wiped it straight away & put infusion b5 back on.

    The difference between them is fairly slight all right apart from some performance issues and the change in HSDPA. The B940 rom is pretty much the same.

    It's the official Vodafone UK rom so anything they got OTA is included. I'd be extremely surprised if there was any difference between the VF UK update and the VF Ireland update. There's other de-branded (but still stock) B936 roms available on Modaco too I think.

    Is it working okay for you now? I have started getting the camera issues with Barcode Scanner now too.

    No change in hsdpa on 936. It's still 9.
    I'm still getting the camera closure on scanner apps.
