Fresh out of the weekend since their support page was updated. A 5-3 release makes sense. Hopefully the radio version is different than the leak, which is reboot happy due to the radio. Software versions match though.

Thanks for the details. I look forward to the official, the leaked was not very stable.

I haven't seen any date associated with the ota update before this, so it was a helpful post for me.

If it's not news to you, stop being an elitist jackass and don't post. The OP was just trying to help.

is there another post mentioning the date it will be pushed ota?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

This is the first time I've seen a release date for it posted.

i apologize if this info was already posted. I was just trying to share some info i just noticed. as many people have stated, i have not seen an actual date of release. I also have access to phones a few days before they are released so if there is anything i can do to help the community, please let me know. i have a thunderbolt, and being an employee, i can have my phone replaced whenever needed so i am willing to try pretty much anything (guinea pig anyones software). so if any dev wants me to try something i am more than welcome to.

nice to know

You should put this out there, as I'm sure many devs would love your help.
Also, I'm sure everyone here would like early impressions on new phones.

I'm not quite sure. Maybe just a new thread in TB General? I would ask someone first, if I were you. Maybe a mod.

Why are you guys so harsh to people that are trying to help out complete ungrateful strangers? Maybe some people have not known about this and is the first time they are seeing this information. Why the negativity?
yea I got it on sep 28th
Yeah, I just got a sprint text message about this. I'm running CM6 though.
I'm in the process of nandroid backuping now, then install a sense rom to update, then nandroid back.
Actually I just got the new PRL 60773 through my phone updates.
Im curious about the people who made fun of the person, as I am new to the forums, where should the post of this thread have posted this thread since you say that he posted it in the wrong area?
Also, I am not running the new PRL either so obviously there are a few people who would find this information very useful.
Hugs and kisses.

I'd guess the "General" section. This area is strictly for development (i.e., ROMs, kernels, etc).
I am sorry if it is a late news. I just got a text message from Sprint with info, so I thought it is a new update. Just trying to be helpful, since I used so much help from XDA forums.

My Verizon App Missing?

I usually check once a week to see if the My Verizon app has been updated, but I cannot find it... I am on Ginger Remix so maybe I can't see it because of that? Can someone with froyo check?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I am completely stock and havent been able to find it for several days. I am guessing it has been updated in the market as not being available for the Thunderbolt since it did not work on our phone anyway.
Droid-life.com has a working version.

The salient question is why would Verizon block owners of their flagship phone (okay, maybe the Droid Charge is that now, with the "Droid" branding") from the app at all, let alone for so long. Damn phone's been on the market for 10 weeks now and still no TB-compatible MyVerizon app. Very weird.
Look here at Post #6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14277108
The release is a verizon apk, however they have not released it because they do not want LTE users usage to be changed by having their current usage easily accessible. It will help them price out the tiered plans that we are getting this summer.

Well its not compatible based on their laziness. So it is easier to hide it because some people don't read.

Uhm no... Usage is just as easily accessible without the app. The same number of steps as if you are checking on WiFi. From what I have read it works on the other 4G devices but the bolt. If they are doing what you are saying then they should not have theirs working either.

lol huh? How about doing some research before posting statements like this.
Darkcharge's developer, BBCrackman, who also happens to own mydroidworld.com, has been working on an update but has been very busy. You can visit the website and see the thread for yourself.
The ROM itself is great. I had it from its original release until the 2.3.6 leak came out and NEVER had an issue with it. Not sure where you're seeing all of this negative feedback.
If DarkCharge gets an update to the OTA, I will most definitely be trying it out.

ICS for G2x

I was wondering when we might get ICS cuz the ics development which was going on here was shut down.

People wont leave the developers alone. Asking questions and reporting bugs on a alpha so we might get it when its done.

You are glad they closed it because I made a comment about them not being like most typical developers and ignore a question already answered? I never used the rom, I understood that it wasn't ready
. You do understand though that these guys aren't the only developers in the world right? All it takes is ignoring the dumbasses like yourself and answering important questions. I enjoy the phone I have and could hardly care if they get an ics out first or if the cm team does. I am patient and have no reason to be impatient

I guess I can ask Santa to get us ICS for Christmas........I realized the pain and amount of time a person has to spend to develop a rom. But some people don't understand the time they take to develop these roms. Kudos to the developers at xda.

Need Beta Testers for ICS G2X.

Read everything before posting!!!
Please forgive me ahead of time for I am a developer here.
As far as I know Cyanogen is making a ice cream sandwich build and it is currently in alpha. This is for the g2x. We have other developers working on the optimus 2x and are relatively in the same situation.
No one seems to be able to get sound and camera working. I recently found out that CM now has sound working, but still no camera. Almost everything else is working
. So the ueation arises... Where is it? If your looking for a copy of it, I'm sorry to tell you that it is not available for just anyone.
It is however available for a limited number of people... 20 actually. Everything is working on my build!!!! But it needs some stability so I'm looking for some beta testers who have a g2x and an active carrier.
To apply for beta testing, please email me telling me the following info..
email : [email protected]
Please copy this exactly as is.

There are a number of bugs to be worked out. The reason I have this build is because I have a connection with one of the developers at LG and he sent me the O2X version and some other drivers...
