Interestingly enough, I decided to do some snooping of my own. I started by chatting up a rep on verizonwireless.com and found out little helpful. The did make one statement that took me by surprise. I was hoping for a release date and expecting next to nothing. What I got was a surprised response from the rep that I should have already received the update. She verified with a friend/neighbor of hers there and she said he has a TB and it received the Gingerbread update a week ago. She advised me to try a local Verizon Wireless store.
I went to the store yesterday afternoon and they said that the Gingerbread updated for the Thunderbolt was released 3 weeks ago! I was very surprised at this news considering I hadn't heard it anywhere else. He went through the motions of checking for an update on the device (which I had already done) to no avail. The update, he said, is not available online. It has to be updated OTA. I was then advised to give it a little more time because they're staggering the updates but to call Google or HTC directly if I still didn't receive it in a few days to a week.
So, not wanting to wait another week just to be told to wait another week, I went ahead and called HTC. I got a support rep on the phone very easily. They actually have really nice technical support. I told the rep about my predicament. and he did a little checking in his system. Finally I got an actual date of release. According to his system, the update was released on May 18th. I asked again if he was referring to the Gingerbread update or the Froyo update and he said Gingerbread. Once again, I was told that the updates are being delivered in a staggered order so it's tough to say when I will actually get the update. He also verified that as of right now, the only way to get it is OTA. There is no update that can be downloaded from HTC's web site.
If anyone has any other information, please let me know.
The update that was released then was a fix it patch to Froyo.

That's what I thought but I specifically asked the HTC rep if this was the Gingerbread update and he said it was.

I've owned every device T-Mobile has to offer and for such a powerhouse not to have any backing was a deal breaker for me. I went back to the Nexus S and now I have the Sensation. I'm staying with HTC until the new Nexus launches.
How do you guys feel about LG & T-Mobile now after petitioning and emailing them? They are basically not looking to improve the device. The G2x may be a epic fail. I enjoyed it while I had it but it clearly lacks support.
I havent seen any issues on my Sensations behalf. I think that unless you have tested it or owned one you can't go by hear say. The issues people addressed as far as the G2x only some have experienced but those who have them might want to make the jump while the G2x still holds some value.

Yes 3 of them. The g2x is easily the least buggy of the two. And I've had 4 g2xs. (Exchanged from other reasons, dust, glue seal and retardidism) .

Don't have that issue. I had 5 g2x before I called it quits. Im glad u have a proper working one though.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Oh but listen to what your saying. You have exchanged the G2X 5 times and you still have the same issues? That means it is not going to magically get fixed by doing even more exchanges. The reason they stopped doing exchanges is because they know the phone has problems on ALL the phones and until it gets updated it wont do any good to swap it out for another. Makes sense to me. I understand switching it for a sensation if you cant handle the issues but I completely understand why tmobile is doing this. Makes sense to me. Personally I chose this phone because I knew it would be supported by cyannogen and im pretty happy I went that route rather than the sensation because who knows how long it will take to get updates for that. I have absolutely no issues except a little screen bleed. Obviously the nexus phones are going to get support first and then followed by any phone supported by CM. This phone is already leaps and bounds better than the sensation when you consider the custom rom community.
HOWEVER... I will say that t-mobile AND LG need to speak up and let us know what is going on. Admitting they have issues is ok as long as they are working to fix it but leaving us in the dark is kinda crappy.
Frankly this is still an unconfirmed newsletter. Hopefully well see something about this soon
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Leaving anyone in the dark is not cool. Announce something. Email Twitter fb whatever. Of course the g2x is ahead in Roms the Sensation isn't even a month old. It took 2 months to get a rom for it and it was great. When the Sensation gets s off it will be a monster more than what it is now. I liked the g2x don't get me wrong but somethings I couldn't ignore and for someone who pays full price for phones I don't think it was worth my money. The Sensation feels more of a solid device
And also people have reported that some exchanges for a device have solved most of their issues. Some just chose to deal with it.

I missed the announcement canceling the GB update. Can you provide a link?
If they did not cancel the update, will everyone just calm down and wait for the fix. If the GB update does not fix the issues, I will be right next to you banging on Tmo doors.
I guess we really did need another thread devoted to a "rumor-alert". I call "first" on posting this link tomorrow in a new thread.

I was under the impression the the update would contain more than just GB. It has been rumored to contain better drivers and other fixes as well. Hopefully we will know before September.
You people need to understand something: this phone does NOT need a gB update nor did tmo ever say that this mysterious update was going to be gb. What we are waiting for is a FIRMWARE update from LG, distributed through tmo. This what the Rep who told me they were pulling the g2x, ( which they temp. did a few weeks later) said. He told me the firmware update would be first, then if all goes well they MAYBE will release gb for us. Yeah could be BS, but he's been right so far.

Actually t-mobile and LG both promised updates to Gingerbread claiming it would be right after initial release. T-mobile claimed before summer. LG boasted how they decided to leave it stock android in specifically so they would be able to quickly update the device right after release. Its not been quite a while and I am pretty sure they should have had at least something by now.
Man this whole thing with LG/ tmo giving us totally different versions/BS promises with every Rep is just BS. I hate to say it but IMO the only thing that's gonna make these corporate douchbags give us the truth is through a class action lawsuit. This is just so uncooked of them to play this game. I personally hope my Guy is right ... first firmware update, then gb, or maybe released together in a single update....I'm dreaming I know :/

Yesterday Slayher tweeted that the next tb rom fixes all known, root exploits. I would guess that for him to say something as a matter of fact like that would indicate someone has a leak and that it's already confirmed to be true.

I second that sam firmware seems to be the only source that isn't BS.

I was recently on chat with Samsung and they said they didn't know if or when it was coming out and they would rather give no info so as to not give incorrect info...how pc!
I know that "sit back and wait" is our only option, but i fear that by the time samsung's official GB build and source code will be released for the captivate, we won't have much devs willing to put time and effort into this.
I was told my replacement device was coming with 2.2 and it would have an insert on how to update it to 2.3.4. Sounds like a huge fish story to me now. I guess that they require every CSR has to BS the customer to make ATT sound better.

They are saying: "The Over-The-Air (OTA) update will arrive anytime between tomorrow, June 4th to July 7th." So it does not mean it will be there today or tomorrow. It will be there before July 7.
I have no idea why TMO is behaving in such customer-unfriendly manner!
