yes another vzw update thread - Thunderbolt General

ok my new mr1 pre installed rooted t bolt has rebooted like 5 times now since ive had it. twice i was using power amp and one time i hit the home button bla bla so i called big red and she said they know phones are doing this it is cuz of mr1 and would replace it but!! told me that an update should be coming in 2 weeks and that she would call me back in 3 weeks to see if im still having this problem. i said i would wait it out and see if it ever comes and to call me back in 3 weeks.
like there aint enough of these on here but i wanted to share what i was told

I was recently told something similar. Hopefully it does come soon because these reboots are annoying as hell.

Hi, my name is Jef. Thank you for contacting HTC!
15:39:44 [Jef] :
How may I help you?
15:40:31 [Shawn] :
I was just wondering when i will be recieving the gingerbread update and if netflix will be available on the thunderbolt in the NEAR future?
15:41:07 [Jef] :
I'll be glad to help.
15:43:36 [Jef] :
As for now, there will be an update for Thunderbolt at the end of summer of 2011 but there's no exact date for now.
15:44:11 [Shawn] :
The end of the summer?? That's a long ways away....
15:44:22 [Jef] :
I suggest that you regularly visit our website because we will be posted the update automatically once it is available.
15:44:59 [Shawn] :
Why do I have to wait so long?
15:46:21 [Jef] :
I'm sorry to keep you waiting but our developer are working on a huge bug fixing on the new update for HTC Thunderbolt so please bear with us.
15:46:56 [Shawn] :
What about netlfix?
15:48:34 [Jef] :
I'm sorry but we dont have any information about that as for now.
15:48:47 [Shawn] :
Why not?
15:51:14 [Jef] :
I'm sorry Shawn but as for now, our data base are limited for resources what would be all the feature included on the upcoming upgrade for THunderbolt but as soon as it was release our data base will surely be refreshed and the information about the new upgrade will be available.

Were you really expecting them to know? Hehe.

Another OTA?

So tmonews.com just announced another update for the 4g. http://www.tmonews.com/2010/11/android-phone-updat​es-galore/
I wonder if the mytouch 4g update is the second update or if its the first one that many of us got in the first few days of owning the device. Any one know?
Damnit I still haven't gotten the first one!

Personally, I would wait for CM or another rom to come out. Video chat will probably be optimized (among other things) in those roms anyway and there is no telling what this will do to root. It may "fix" root and plug up the exploit so that you are back at square one again.
My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
It's the same update we know about.
I would love cm on here but I hope there will be some way to keep the genius button. That's one piece of bloat ware that I love. I heard someone with a g2 had it on their rooted device so maybe a easy to add it to our custom ruins when they come out?

its not the same one... this is the second one.... i installed the first ota update days ago, and the new one popped up last night. so this is indeed a second ota update.
Was it a regular OTA or just a OTA that pops up when you open up Qik? Thanks.

Since the link is down - what specific items did it mention - or was it just a general announcement without any specifics?
I wonder if it matters which data plan you're on regarding getting the OTA's...? I'm on mytouch unlimited web, but I think the newest one is 4G unlimited web.

I was wondering about that also. If it was to plug a hole, it will become evident if those with the 2nd OTA find that the s=off and/or the rooting itself procedures no longer work. And then there is tethering....
Would TMo be that mean ???
If you make a backup using Clockwork, could you just reflash to get back to where you were if the new OTA takes away root?
If it's just a Qik update, can Qik from the new version be pulled from it and then installed on a phone without the newest OTA?
no because you need root to nandroid your phone
Only one update. If you have 2.2.1 thats the update for qik and some bugs; I got the email from HTC in their monthly news email.

Zio Update offical thread 2.2 Coming 2/28

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?
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
Looking forward to some kind of update in the near future hopefully.
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
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)
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
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?

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.

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.

MR2 OTA today?

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...

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.

Just got off the phone with tech support on 2.3 update

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.

ATT definitely needs to get on the bandwagon with the Infuse, my Atrix got Gingerbread pretty quick. Not sure what the big deal is.
I hate to say it guys but get used to it. ATT is terrible with updates. Each phone may get one major update and thats about it. Any of you that have been in the smartphone world for a while will know this. Hell sometimes ATT wont push any updates for a phone at all.
I mean think about it. A phone is termed EOL after 4 months of ATT releasing it.

Samsung or ATT?
We don't know who is holding up the update, do we? It could be either Samsung or ATT. It's so frustrating that Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to be released within the next few months and Infuse owners don't even have Gingerbread yet.
its the captivate all over again, over emphasis on updates(2.2 works fine for me), and a carrier that doesn't care about updates. why make the infuse their flagship and not push samsung to update it? i mean motorola got the atrix updated and att doesnt push that phone as hard, htc also got the inspire updated, att doesnt give a dan about that phone. but i really think it is samsung who wants to push updates only after a new device is released (sgs2!) and only because they want the new device to look beter the the "old" one
Bottom line here is simple: don't ever buy hardware in anticipation of future software releases (with the exception of a Nexus device). Once the device is sold the manufacturer really has no obligations to ever have anything to do with it again except for warranty services.

Reread the first paragraph, Tyshemi. Ice cream sandwich will be released in Oct/November. Jelly Bean will be released AFTER that, and if you go by Google's usual schedule, it would probably be around February.

Doesn't matter when really a month two months its the fact that phone released at the same time as ours have seen nice updates and dome even two updates since launch. Its the fact that this was a eye opener for ATT you know a "look at me " phone that's going to need a time machine to catch up.

All I see is too many phones coming, that the ave user will miss out on, because they are stuck on a 2 year contract, lol not everyone can afford to blow 300 plus every few months on the something new,
Truth be told I have an atrix ( which I love, great little workhorse ) and a infuse coming monday, Also have a droid incredible, and a inspire, and a few others laying around,
But the funny thing they all do the same thing, just some slightly faster than the other, etc.. right now even the droid incredible/nexus 1 still is plenty fast for gingerbread... and does everything those new dual core beasts can do.. for me its gonna boil down to design and the screen, much like when i used to shop for a pc/laptop.. <----hardly use those anymore, too. my 2 year old asus still runs like a champ. guess my point,. is choose what you like. dont get caught up in specs and hype. ..
