New OTA: EE4 - Tons of Fixes - Verizon Droid Charge

OK fellas... I'm not a dev by any means, but my internal contact at VZW gave me a heads up on a new OTA coming out tonight. EE4 is supposed to fix an entire laundry list of issues, so we just need someone with the skills to obtain it and convert it for those of us on Voodoo.
Copied from http://support.vzw.com/system_update/charge.html:
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software update,
EE4, for your DROID CHARGE by Samsung..
Verizon Wireless and Samsung encourage you to download this update.
Call Features
Improved battery life when placing a voice call.
Easily return calls within the call log entry by pressing the phone icon.
Outgoing calls from the Visual Voice Mail application will be placed properly.
Pressing and holding the ‘1’ key will automatically route the user to the Voice Mail service (*86).
Audio has been adjusted to avoid ‘No Audio’ or ‘Screeching Sounds’.
Web Browsing and Data Access
Accurately detect and connect to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE or 3G network.
Enhanced browser performance.
Email and Messaging

When a user touches the arrow, the folder system will expand to show all subfolders available for selection.
When an Exchange password has been modified, the device will direct the user to the password screen to adjust the saved password accordingly.
Improvements in the Email and Calendar sync.
Additional Device Features
Restoration of Mobile Hotspot capability.

The document is official, viewable at the link above. When I first got the heads up, the link still loaded up the ED2 update.

This is very good news. I was going to return my Droid Charge this weekend because of a lack of 4g and my 3g crapping out every so often. Hopefully this software update alleviates the issues. *crosses fingers*
*EDIT* Only time I've ever received a 4g signal in Miami was on the Dolphin Expressway and parts of Doral. I live in a 4G LTE area according to the map and have received no signal. Even up in Pembroke Pines, nothing...waiting on the update now. Thanks for the heads up.

So tonight? For sure

Just to repeat what the prior guy wrote, I have also got nothing OTA.

I just got a OTA Update message asking me if I want to install.

READ THIS POST IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN THIS OTA YET! Sense 2.1 I would think. Has anyone captured this OTA? Please run adb logcat before accepting an ota update if you haven't gotten it yet so the devs can capture it. PM me if you need more info on how to do this.
I give this till the morning before I do it, if I don't hear anything bad by then I may give it a go. Don't wanna risk anything like MR1.
Gotta be rooted to do this? I don't mind if someone tells me how.

This app messed up my phone

So i tried this app called easy battery saver as an alternative to juice defender, and as soon as i enabled it, the app nuked my data connection. I've tried disabling it and uninstalling it but nothing works.

My Droid Charge/Verizon also had data connection nuked by "easy battery saver" app. There are quite a few postings on various forums of other unfortunates, mostly Droid Charge, but a few LG.
My phone isn't rooted and I don't know how to flash the modem.
Is there anything simpler that can be done? I would prefer not to have to factory reset as the backup apps don't save app settings etc. on non-rooted phones.
Help anyone?

A factory reset brought my data back, so i took the opportunity to install tweakstock. I guess it was a plus in the end.
I think we should all report the app for causing such damage to the phone with no warning whatsoever and no solution. It must suck to have to reset a stock phone.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Expecting that I need to do a factory I bought MyBackup Pro and did a full backup but it seems that without root access the app settings are not saved. Since I didn't relish having to do rooting or factory reset I thought I would give the app developers a chance to do the right thing.
The response has been a series of generic emails pointing me at a new version of the app that do not fix my problem. I am guessing that it simply copies the (dysfunctional) APN it finds on first launch then its reset function simply writes this still dysfunctional setting back. Can't they just provide a simple appto write the correct Verizon APN?
I am not generally a ranting type but it is frustrating that there is no further recourse than just to advertise the serious bug and poor response to this forum. I posted a query also on Charge Forums, is there another good place to post a warning? Or am I just wasting my time?
Oh, and naturally my iPhone friends say "I told you so" just to rub salt in the wound!

I would have preferred it if they outright blacklisted the charge from downloading the app, as well as any phone it also breaks.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Pretty sure its broken my data too, it keeps jumping on and off all day. Will check with my operator that there aren't issues in my area but it was fine over the weekend.
Dug this up from a different forum. Works for sure.
1) Install app called "any cut" on wifi, it allows you to create any shortcut.
2) In the app go to new shortcut > activities> APNs
3) Create shortcut to access APNs (I guess default APN manager) and restore settings. Voila!

[APP] Auto Cheesecake v2.0 (7/4/12) !!Deodexed roms only!!

All good now, huge thanks to Joser1309 for the modified blur-services.apk that made this possible. go thank his post in here. Sorry it took so long to post this, I kind of forgot about it.
Only works on Deodexed roms for now
Please also answer the poll at the top honestly
What is this?
I have reworked phydo's original source for the cheesecake app we have been using and made it quite a bit faster to use than before. I have also cleaned up and commented the code a bit for those of you who want to take a look at the source.
How to use
It is very important that everyone on here is checking cheesecake as much as possible. Hopefully multiple times per day.
To use this first flash the attached zip with our bootstrap CWM recovery, then install the app. Click the button to go to the next server and check for an update. if you get a wifi error, that server is down. Most will be. select "skip setup for now" and go back to the app and click the button to go to the next. Continue to due this until you get through all the servers.
What to do if you find an update
DO NOT INSTALL IT!!!!
Instead download it right away so you don't miss it, then copy it out of /cache with a root explorer app or use adb to pull it. Upload it somewhere and post it in a thread or PM me and I'll get it to the right people.
What's next and other Ideas
This app is not done. I would like to make it even more automated if I can figure out how. If you have any ideas on how to make it continue after failing or getting an update please share.
I also think we need to get more organized with our Cheesecake checking. Maybe organize time for everyone to check so we can cover the whole day. Let me know if you think it would be a good idea to create a google calendar where everyone can put the time they will check, so we can all check at different times. Any other ideas are of course welcome as well.
Source
Please PM me if you would like the source code. I have no problem giving it to people, but since it is not entirely mine, I want to know who I have given it to.

I've been getting wifi errors on every single server since I went to scv6, so I don't know, but as long as it is "almost" every server that tells me that it is changing it correctly so I guess it is working. If it was every server I would suspect that it was not changing properly.

Just tried it... every server is ostensibly up and running and up to date- even servers that are down with normal cheesecake.
Could you add a check for update button that doesn't change servers in the case of "Check for update unavailable.." messages so we can recheck the same server?

Used regular cheesecake and went back to yours and it is wanting a wifi connection on all servers. It is telling me it is switching servers but like you said it may not be.

VRBMB1 source released

http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=i535
Not sure what's changed in the tree or defconf.
"You should be getting an OTA update soon — if you’re lucky — that will bring your Galaxy S3 to Android 4.1.2. The VRBMB1 build is about 150MB in file size, and for those who are wondering, here’s the full change log:
Keyboard Predictive Text has been improved
Users can take picture while on a call
Manual refresh button has been added to lock screen ticker
E-mail syncing has been improved
Enhanced Bluetooth performance
VZ Navigator and Amazon added to stub applications"
-Android Authority
Seems that is all that was added for now. I was hoping that premium suite would be rolled out sooner. Oh well, the joy of being rooted, and being able to install things like pop up browser anyway.

I have a buddy that uses this option all the time now that he has it. He makes vinyl signs and oftentimes while out working, speaking to a customer on the phone, it's helpful to be able to take a picture without having to hang up. Sure, not everyone will utilize this feature, but like a dozen other features on your phone, it's great to have them regardless of whether you'll actually use them or not. :thumbup:
