        Today I got the German ICS update, finally. I used "ONE TOUCH Upgrade Q 2.5.8". The regular WLAN update option didn't offer the update.
        If you want to be sure really to get the ICS (and not the 2.3.6 again) you can use "ONE TOUCH Upgrade Q 2.5.7" which produces the log file "otuq_log.txt" in the program path. There you can see if server version and device version are really different, and stop the process if not. In the past I unplugged my phone during the download-internet-to-pc-phase if the versions were the same. The ICS update download size was ~2 Gigabyte, encrypted and deleted immediately after the process.

          I'm in Germany and I've finally upgraded to ICS using the upgrade software on the alcatel website (OneTouch Upgrade Q 2.5.7) . I had problems doing it on vista but got it to work on XP. The FOTA didn't offer the upgrade.

            I have 995 for 3 weeks. The phone is OK. However, I have a problem. Bluetooth is not operating. I can sent contents and CAN NOT RECEIVE anything. My friend who have it for 2 months has the same problem. Can anybody advice me what to do?

                  I did the ICS update as follows (on my Ubuntu-Linux, but it might work the same way on a Windows-PC as well). I did not have to root it.
                  Please note that there always is the possibility to brick your phone so be sure you know what you are doing!

                  Sources:

                  Step1:
                  Downloaded the official android SDK from Google http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

                  Step2:
                  Downloaded the right CWM recovery version from ot995-cyanogenmod
                  http://code.google.com/p/ot995-cyanogenmod/downloads/list

                  According to the Wiki from this project the right file for Alcatel stock ROM is cwm_cocktail_stock_20120609.zip

                  You will find the Wiki for flashing here
                  http://code.google.com/p/ot995-cyanogenmod/wiki/FlashingRecovery

                  Step3:
                  Downloaded the french ICS image from
                  http://d-h.st/48T

                  Steps to Update

                  Step1:
                  Install android SDK

                  Step2:
                  Make sure the fastboot command is in the /plattform-tools folder and make sure your phone is being recognized correctly by your PC (sudo ./fastboot devices; in Windows there are special USB drivers you can install via Android SDK using android in the /tools folder)

                  Step3:
                  If you have used Fota in your phone please read
                  http://dump.pargon.nl/alcatel/cwm-recovery/README
                  and delete leftover files (you have to root your phone for that)
                  I wiped my phone before ICS update to avoid rooting it by using the official alcatel update software under Windows

                  Step4:
                  Unzip the CWM recovery image into the plattform-tools folder (this makes it easier)

                  Step5:
                  boot your linux device according to the CWM-Wiki into CWM recovery (I did not have to flash it and it is not recommended to flash it) with

                  sudo ./fastboot boot cwm_cocktail_stock_20120609.img
                  (fastboot has to be run as root)
                  then connect the phone when it is off to the PC
                  press volume down and power on until the boot screen is showing
                  release it
                  and it will boot into cwm recovery
                  please note: it took a couple of times until i had the right timing

                  Step6:
                  backup your phones image by using cwm recovery.
                  cwm recovery is a bit tricky to navigate since there are a couple of "no"s that you have to skip until you get to "yes"

                  Step7:
                  boot into your stock rom (use the cwm recovery option) and check whether you have a backup on your sd card (it should be under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup; there should be a folder with a timestamp-name like yyyy-MM-dd.hh.mm.ss

                  Step8:
                  unzip the french ICS zip file (it contains a folder) onto your sd card under
                  /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
                  or copy the unziped folder there

                  Step9:
                  rename the folder into 2012-10-13.00.00.00 (as steffeson said)

                  Step10:
                  power off your phone and boot again into cwm recovery according to step 5

                  Step11:
                  use the recovery option from cwm recovery and choose the 2012-10-13.00.00.00 folder

                  Step12:
                  use the wipe data option from cwm recovery to wipe data

                  Step13:
                  use the boot into rom option to boot. At first it will take some time to boot.

                  For me this worked.

                        Amazing phone ,especially for it's price. I did some photo and video tests on youtube and i'm impressed with how the 995 handles HD video. Only downside is some of the bloatware that you can't uninstall but by using a task killer I have kept this little (or big),gem nice and snappy.

                                  I formerly used to think I made a great deal by purchasing this cell phone several months ago... And then came the official ICS upgrade : Thanks a lot Alcatel ! This latest update makes it classier, very easy to use, without any bug or lag through its interface. Every software aspects are enhanced and the hardware power just make it the undisputable champion for its level of price. In a nutshell, with ICS, the OT-995 provides the same features as +250€ devices.

                                    Hi, I have a problem whit my phone. While I'm holding it in my hand, ringer volume is rising to maximum. I'm just writing SMS or doing something on my phone, and ringer volume is in a second on maximum, even if I put it on the silence mode, it changes by itself to the loudest ringer volume. What do I have to do?

                                      Hi was reading a lot of stuff on how to get ics on the phone, thought I had it sussed out, so download the alcatel update software from their website, and connected the phone to laptop, then did the upgarde to2.3.6, then started it up again, great worked so connected again thing this would upgarde to the ics version, said doing upgarde, said succesfull, but after turning on and setting up for the second time, thought |i check the version but not ICS but still gingerbread most ignoying, any ideas as I am in Uk, and phone hasn't been released here. so the one touch upgarde software is the only way as no OTA updates. Also it is the same spec hardware wise cpu and ram as the sony ericsson arc s, but with a front camera, which I use to own, yet does anyone else noticed it locks up, also you got wait bout 5 seconds for it to start to open webpages, and signal on phone and wi-fi is patchy at best?

                                        Steffeson please help. I already done CWM on my phone according to Serbian page with the flash bat that they provide. But now when i try to enter CWM recovery with command prompt on my pc while the phone is connected with the PC and turn on, I type adb reboot-bootloader and then says that adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Also when phone is off i press the volume up and power button but then turns up the little green android men with the package for 3-4 seconds and after that the phone restarts please tell me what is the problem, and how to enter CWM recovery to make backup and to complete the upgrade to ICS thanks upfront.
