Update coming 2/28. Customers will have to go into a store to receive the update. Also, Cricket will be re-releasing the Zio with 2.2 pre-installed.
As of tonight, the Zio is still scheduled for a Febuary release of 2.2. As I've said before, 2.1 is going to be skipped it seems.
Other news:
Cricket will be getting the LG Optimus, as well as an android tablet (samsung I believe) soon.
Updated info will be given to you guys as soon as I get it.
Edit: see below for screens.
I've been following your info from the thread and the info from the cricket facebook page and it seems pretty consistent but we usually hear it from you first so I'm pretty confident in what you have been saying. Keep us updated. I realized the response about when we will be getting our update changed from mid February to just "soon". Is this because we may be getting the update sooner than mid Feb?

I have some cool news coming for you guys hopefully tomorrow. It's an email confirming the 2.2 update
Can't wait.
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
Here you go, screenshots of the email confirming 2.2.
Cheers.
Looks pretty official. One thing that's on my mind, it says the zio will be Available to buy with froyo already on it in late Feb early March. What it says about the update is that it will be available " very soon". Does that sound right? So we may be able to update before then. (I had a dream last night that my phone updated itself to 2.2. It was awesome)

On the cricket facebook page there is a post with a link to an article about an email that a customer received supposedly stating the update will be available on Feb first. But the article also said that we will be getting 2.1 and not froyo which we all know is not true so in my mind it does lack credibility.

Here is what is going on from my understanding. We are going to stop selling the Zio with 1.6, and I guess re-release it with the 2.2 in a month or so. Exsisting owers WILL still get the update, although I haven't been able to confirm if it is OTA or not.

You know how those company facebook pages are, they aren't really company employees, just hired "bloggers" if you will. I never trust what I read from those things.
I understand that we will get the update but the question is when. I'm hoping by early to mid Feb. Do you know when it will be or can you get a estimated date. I'm going nuts checking on it all the time. The only information we have is that it will be available " very soon" or " in the very near future". That makes me feel like it can be any day now. Are they going to inform you in advance right when its released?
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
Trust me, you'll know the date when I find out. As of now, I don't have one for you
From my experience on how cricket does things, I would guess the update will be available after we start selling the new Zio with 2.2.
Haven't heard anything new, guy?

Word on the street is that we will be getting the update on the fifteenth. Any info on that?
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
if it happens
you will know when the update will happen you will get a text explaining the update process. so there is really no reason to keep checking. I have ended my search on the upgrade since personally i feel its never going to happen.
If you believe its not gonna happen you dont read much do ya?

Thats a great question!
I haven't received any more definitive details, so I'd rather not post rumors or my personal thoughts on when this is going to happen.
Update coming 2/28. Customers will have to go into a store to receive the update. Also, Cricket will be re-releasing the Zio with 2.2 pre-installed.
I'm on a Zio by Cricket as well. Today is the 22nd of Feb. I called Cricket support this morning and the person on the phone just told me 2 min. ago that the upgrade has not been released to the costomers yet. They said when it gets released they are going to notify me/you I guess on your phone that there is an upgrade for the phone and I guess what is needed to get the phone upgraded. The person I spoke to stated that they have no idea when it will be released and that they were still working on the upgrade and phone. He changed his tune when I explained to him that in a forum I am registered with a person explained that he/she let us know he spoke to 1 of the corp. reps in person, and the guy stated it was already tested on the phone and that Cricket already got the Ok to let the costomers upgrade that it will be out between the 22nd, (today) - 28th (next week). Once I told him that he just studdered and stated that he wasn't sure that they were never notified of this so on and so on.
Sorry if this reply conflics with any of the posts here.

Does anyone know of a firm release date for the Sprint Nexus-S 4G ? Everything I read online is all over the board. I called Sprint stores near me, and they know nothing, one girl said it should be out this Summer, July/August she said Best Buy Mobile said maybe April 20th, this week. And some online sites say May 8th.
I wasz tlod yesterday when I reserved mine that it will be in the next 45 days. I know that is not a firm date but its better then nothing.

k thanks, so it's not due out until June then. For some reason I thought it was coming late April / early May.
I talked to a few best buy reps..Sunday I heard the 19th. Yesterday (I don't know if she slipped on telling me) I was told system shows in stock for tomorrow...so..another rep said no date yet....but...hopefully today...or I might just jump evo. I'm tired of Samsung never sticking to their word...pretty rediculous
Supposedly training at Sprint just started today, so hopefully it will be out in the next couple weeks. Hoping for asap of course...
Please keep all sprint 4G discussion here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982811

Hate to make you feel sad but i work for T-Mobile and there is no info out yet for reps to know what the date is for GB on the G2X. Only thing that is coming out on the 15th right now is the Sensation and the Samsung Dart. There is no info on the T-Mobile's network for reps saying that the 15th is the set date for GB. No one even knows if GB is going to be a OTA or a downloaded update. only time will tell

Its not that he is lying he wasn't given wrong info in which he through was true not his fault. Also if you go into your local tmobile store they can show you the notes you want to see. Also keep an eye on www.tmonews.com this site is always on the ball about tmobile stuff leaked out.
Hope its tru but you never know. I got a female tech rep two days ago. She was already usin a Jail broken phone and informed me rooting and flashing a rom to my
g2x was simple and hard to brick. Had been doing reserch now 24 hours later check the signature
Model LG-P999
Android Version 2.3.4
Kernal Version 2.6.32.41-cyanogenmod
[email protected]#1
Mod Version CyanogenMod-7-06112011-NIGHTLY-G2x
Interestingly, when I spoke to an executive at T-Mo on Friday about this he said that they had pushed back the date indefinitely and that he would send me a pre-paid return label to send him the two G2x's that I have for a full refund.
I doubt he would want to buy the phones back from me if an update was right around the corner.
i wont be getting it. I cant even check for updates without it FC
what happens is I go to check for updates, it FC saying something about settings.
rinse and repeat its frustrating,
am i the only one with the update
i look UP on the top bar on left side and there is the DATE . UPDATE works for me. probably the only one ill see in a while

Dude....hang on to that day job...
Has anyone gotten the new MR2 OTA that was supposed to come out today? I have been running it since it leaked but I haven't seen anyone talk about getting it OTA yet today.
My TB worked great the first 5 days I had it, I was loving the 4G speeds. All the sudden I stopped getting 4G completely in my house and cycling/losing data constantly otherwise. I have tried everything and MR2 didn't fix the problems. The rep was pretty knowledgeable that I spoke to, but told me to wait until I get the new update before they would replace my phone. Obviously I can't tell him I'm running it already, so I just need to know when it "officially" is out.
Thanks
Nothing yet...

Being that the hotspot was extended, i wonder if the update will be around July 6th?

That was a good one...I got a good laugh from that one. I especially love it when people over on Verizon's T-bolt forum say, they are releasing gingerbread today. I know because I spoke with a tech on the phone and they told me it was.
Well I have a new TB coming tomorrow. My issue was that I didn't want a CLNR piece of **** device that Verizon loves to give out, so I had to get my replacement within 14 days of my original purchase. The tech today told me that the ETA on the update is before the end of June and no later. I guess that's good news.

That is unfortunately true. I saw Jcase posted on Twitter the other day that the update was going to be delayed or maybe even cancelled for a new build.
I just got off the phone with tech support on the update and they said that it is being released the second half of june and could be out as soon as Monday but should be next week for sure. So are we being lied to again or is it for real this time. Someone else call and post there reponse please.

Indeed. No one at Verizon knows what they are talking about when it comes to this. It may be released soon, yes, but it'll be to the soak test group.
I hope it is released and rooted before august.p, when I go overseas. I hope there is a fix for some of the gsm problems.

I'll believe it when I see it.
yea, since it says 2.3.4 im not sure how true the article is. also i cant really find any announcement from at&t about it
No credible sources anywhere in the article.
AT&T's last press release stated that they would roll out Gingerbread updates to all Android devices released in 2011, plus to the Captivate, "starting in" July. Which means that only one device needed to receive an update in July for the press release to be true. (I Think that was the Atrix?)
And as others said, all of the leaks have been 2.3.5.
I am sure god knows when it will be coming since even AT&T does not know what the hell they are doing sitting on it till now

My take on it is they are in the process of releasing it but are working to correct some of the glaring issues we see now using the Rodgers rom. I don't think they want to release something that is just going to Bork up everyone's phones so they will wait until it is right as well they should. I would rather wait till it is perfect then to have them release something that isn't ready for primetime. Then the devs will have a good canvas to work from. Your mileage may vary.
