JB update not showing up
Hello,
First, please excuse my poor English... Second, my question. I now have a Kobo Arc (but will still use my "old" Kobo for novels!) and I initialized it 2 days ago. It first applied an update (270 or 280 Mb, I cannot remember exactly), but my device is still running Android 4.0.4. Since then, the update to JB 4.1.1 has never been proposed and when I go to Parameters | About | Check for update (rough translation from the French UI I'm using), it claims that it is up to date! Is it normal (maybe Kobo is delaying part of the devices to avoid overloading their server)? If not, what can I do, what can I check? (BTW, normal Internet access, just behind my router I manage with just NAT). Also, I'm not sure I should update when reading this thread. When it works, what is the best way to do the update? Factory reset then update, update the factory reset? Thanks! |

This is the Internet. Poor English is the norm. And, like many who have English as a second language, your English is better than what typically comes out of native English speakers these days.

And, if you do decide to factory reset, you'll have the alternate launcher ready just in case it turns out that the reset doesn't fix the problem. |

With my wife's Arc the update did not appear until I turned her tablet off and back on.

Thanks for your answers. I've rebooted and tried many times to check for an update without success so far. Maybe a server is down during this week-end: I'll try again tomorrow and I'll report here!
I've installed Nova launcher and I'm ready for the update (I won't miss the random suggestions!) |

Kobo have pulled the Jelly Bean update at the moment due to problems with Google Movies.
I've been told if you have updated your device already it should be fine but there is a hold on this update being pushed to current devices at present. |

OK, so let's wait. Maybe a direct jump to 4.2.2?!
This information should be pinned on this forum. Problem is that after 2 complete days, I have at least one reason to upgrade: Wifi sometimes get stuck (Wifi link is up, but nothing is transferred or at an extremely low speed). Thanks! |

I was informed through one of the retailers that sell Kobos.

That would be great to have some kind of "official" acknowledgement though...

Every time I go to customer support faq and select arc and ask a question it takes me to Kobo glo.if they can't get their own website right what chance have you got.

Well, you know better than I do, I'm a newcomer! It seems that at least one person from Kobo comes to this forum, so, maybe?
They should definitely release the source code; I really do not understand why they don't. Also, having only an OTA process for updating (and no possible downgrade) makes me a bit anxious for the future... |
