I missed this one in the last couple of days, but looks like the Acer Iconia A501 is receiving Android 4.0.3. We received the tip off from HilaryB on Twitter who advised it has now arrived finally updating the tablet from Honeycomb to Ice Cream Sandwich. If you have not already received the update go to Settings > About Device > Check for updates and see if there is an update waiting for you. If you’re on 3G you may want to wait to hit WiFi before downloading the update to avoid going over your data cap. Telstra’s Tablet software page still lists the latest update for the A501 as Honeycomb 3.2 so we’re not quite sure what is actually happening here, still never hurts to try. But let us know in the comments what you think of the update.

iCS is available. You must register the A501 with Acer site, then a few days later it is push to you device. Suggest to power device off and during this period. Was frustrated that could not get upgrade – found out by accident.
Cheers, ML

In Finland we have an issue with Acer501 and the latest update: if you install this update, the mobile phone networks will cease to function. Only available mode afterwards is wifi. Not a good thing. Anyone got this resolved yet?

Albert

Hi I got my update 4.0.3 week ago,in Namibia for my A501. Now I’m having issues.if Sim inserted wifi dosen’t scan the networks.Have to remove the Sim and perform a factory setting, any one can help to resolve this

Danie Fourie

Hi, just about the same problem I have. Upgraded last night to 4.0.3, and now my wifi does not scan at all, not with sim inserted nor without. How do I resolve this? Albert, you speak about factory setting – how do you do that, as I’ve only got my A501 5 days ago! Will GREATLY appreciate it – by the way, also from Namibia! In Swakop, in fact.

I checked with 3 people at work that own A501’s in South Australia. All have received the updates by today. One person said they got it on Sunday.

Brent Salzmann

Still nothing yet on mine. Non branded too and we still get shafted. Lucky few have it.

Daniel

Mine just updated 🙂 its quite laggy though

Jason

As usual, i’d expect it on unlocked devices first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810360
