I tried but with no luck (
Any ideeas??

so what exactly is your question and what does it have to do with the apps and games thread?

I tried too! But nothing. No updates...

its UK only...

I am in uk and seems like there is no update yet for us...

I have received this upgrade and have had nothing but trouble since installing it. I was wondering if there was a way I can put my phone back to the way it was?
Basically, since the update, the only difference in my phone that I notice is an app called "Dock" which is basically a new screen for when you are driving. I have had nothing but trouble receiving calls or texts and at worst, I have received texts 26 hours after they were sent. My work depends on my company being able to contact me at any given time which, since the update, they have had a great difficulty doing.
Is there any way I can roll back the phone to the previous software as HTC and my network company are shockingly bad at making any attempt to solve the problem?
Thanks

Droid 2 Global by Motorola
SOFTWARE UPDATE
****Lastest update 10/12/11:
Everything must be squared away now, as the new build of 4.5.608 has been approved and should be made available shortly. Normally when these support documents arrive, the update shows up within a week or so.
Letter from Motorola:
10/12/11:
Hi.
"I want to thank you for providing feedback on the Droid 2 Global Gingerbread upgrade. The feedback from Motorola Feedback Network members helped us identify a serious issue and stop the general distribution of the software before a larger number of owners were impacted. I want to personally thank you for your contribution -- it is just this kind of thing that demonstrates the value of this group.
Now we've put in the needed changes to eliminate this single serious issue and we're ready to resume the rollout. Because you provided feedback before, we will include you in the initial push and ask again for your feedback.
We will not do a private community as we think we understand the strengths and gaps of this software based on our first soak. I will be sending a survey -- maybe two -- to make sure that you are able to update, and to see that the encryption issue that caused us to delay has truly been addressed.
Expect the push of a new load tomorrow. You should see no change in how the device operates overall -- unless you encountered the encryption issue. That should disappear.
I will send out a survey tomorrow -- in the event that you have any update problems, use that to let me know.
Again, many thanks for participating in the Motorola Feedback Network. You are really making a difference.
Regards,
- Matt

VERY interested in the improvements to system stability and GSM radio .. just last week I lent my (currently idle) D2G to a friend, and now the update that sounded forever away, suddenly appears.. by the time I get around to getting the handset back, this will probably be old news

If somebody could update this thread when it's actually released, I'd really appreciate it. Would love to make a backup of my current Fusion install, SBF, and then give it a shot.

Ok here the news straight from Verizon Tech suport the update is scheduled to roll 615am cen time ...

Off network install
Will there be a way to install this update if I am not connected to the VZW network? I am currently living in Saudi Arabia (i am from Kansas(insert joke here)) and I am using the STC network with their sim card. I can not get connected wifi due to the proxy problem either.
I am able to install .apk files with android manager, but I first need the downloadable file.
Thanks,
george

i dont think so, but no worries, im sure by the time youll get a chance to install, there will be a downloadable file, if your phone has 5g you can probably download it directly to your phone.

You don't need to be on the Verizon Wireless network for the update to be able to be installed.
Any data connection, be it GSM/UMTS 2G/2.5G/3G, or WiFi, will suffice. The update process is performed over the TCP/IP stack. In case you want to get it over cellular data, you need to remember that the update is about 105MB in size.
About proxies: there are a few applications available on the market that allow you to set Android's proxy configuration, though I am not sure if these settings affect anything besides the web browser.

Yeah I guess these guys are wrong.

I'm in the Florida Keys at the moment. Nothing available here yet. I think I'll go for a swim before checking again

The update was released @ 06:15 CET and is going out in groups; grouping is probably done by device MEIDs.
You can go to a Verizon store and ask them to push the update to your handset, though.

Doses man the wait it killin me I was light hell yea when tech support said 615 lol he didnt mention nothing about being in line for it lol

Has anyone posted that they have actually gotten the update? It's still not available for me.

Nothing here (yet) in Vancouver Canada

Hmm going to have to SBF my phone when i get home.

No Wi-Fi on Nexus 5 - on any version of Android

The Wi-Fi on my wife's unrooted Nexus 5 (Sprint version) which was upgraded (via OTA) to Marshmallow last month suddenly stopped working last week. The slider would get hung while moving from Off to On (like it was trying to turn on) and therefore was not detecting any available Wi-Fi signals.
After trying many things, I eventually did the extreme and did a full factory data reset. No dice. Still not detecting anything.
Figuring it might be an OS issue with Marshmallow (given we're seeing a lot of forums indicating Nexus 5 issues based on Wi-Fi with both Marshmallow and Lollipop), we downgraded the OS first to Lollipop and then all the way back to KitKat (4.4). Still not working. At initial phone setup, the phone is not detecting any available WiFi signals and gets hungup trying to find networks for me to choose from - so I end up having to skip this step.
Any other tips out there on what I can try? Is this a sure sign of hardware problems? Don't think my wife's phone is under warranty any longer (have had it slightly over a year, I think).
PS - Now I can no longer even upgrade the phone (OTA, at least) from 4.4.4 because my phone is saying it needs Wi-Fi to download the update - with no option to do it over my data plan.

I'm in the same situation and it appears to be a hardware failure. The wifi chip can't be replaced so a motherboard swap is required.
You can upgrade to the latest stock ROM by flashing the entire ROM from a command prompt in Win7.

Plot thickens
So, I figured out a way to get the OTA's over LTE (by manually changing my phone's date up a week). While going through each OS update from 4.4 KitKat to 6.0 Marshmallow (about 5 or 6 rounds of them) my phone briefly was able to detect WI-FI, I believe during set up at 5.1.1 Lollipop - and I was able to get on my home network.
Probably should have just stopped updating after that, but definitely was not detecting anything after that. I lost it during one of the Lollipop updates - well before getting to 6.0. Not sure if WiFi was actually working well or not.

Maybe the chip is in the process of failing? Not sure but it seems like you are having better luck than me.

I wish. Don't want to go through all those steps again after doing a clean wipe to have a fleeting glimpse of Wi-Fi.

Hi, pagalbengal. I'm having the same problems right now, and I wanted to check with you to see if there have been any developments with your situation over the past month. Still hopeless? Have you contacted Google tech support? Do they still even support this phone? Thanks for any info.

You guys might want to try reflash the modem firmware.

Couldn't get my wi-fi to work so I replaced the motherboard. Every stock and custom ROM I tried could not enable wi-fi.

Hello gurnsey101 , Thank You

No problem

After update phone now takes 2-3 full seconds before screen wakes. 100% consistent. No other changes to the phone. Anyone else having this issue?

I received the update yesterday afternoon, and my phone 'freaked out' for a full hour or so after receiving it. The Home button was seemingly locked, the device wouldn't go to sleep, and nothing would run properly. After a few reboots and letting it sit for a while, everything seem to be back to normal. As a matter of fact, it seems a bit snappier now to be honest.

How would one go about tweaking the QC9 Hotspot fix to use for QF2, or does it even need it?

After the G930VVRU4BQF2 (S7) update, I can no longer get apps to write to the SD card. I do have Package Disabler Pro in use. Is there something I may have turned off by accident?

Antenna radio signal shows an "X" where my signal strength is shown after system update

Hey guys, I've been nearly driving myself insane trying to find a fix for what seems to be a pretty serious, near-system breaking bug in the most recent Android 11 system update for the Blu View 3 (B140DL)
I had working antenna signal and strength working perfectly fine, after marrying my new SIM card's iccid to my carriers account. After marrying, I was told to reset my network settings, apply system updates (if any) and reboot the device. There was an update, so I proceeded with it, and when my phone was done rebooting, there was an empty antenna signal triangle with an x in it. I've heard about and seen ota updates have bugs in the firmware that cause issues but it's always been with top tier flagship type devices and there's a fix rolled out almost instantly. This being a budget unlocked device, I have had no luck with any kind of information about possible fixes or any being released; hell, I can't seem to find if anybody else has experienced this problem with the specific update on this build or not anywhere on the internet, and this update is from January of this year. I am going to post the build and specific software update that caused the radio firmware to not work, so hopefully that helps. I'm hoping that maybe there's a fix for this that doesn't involve reflashing the official firmware (can't seem to find the stock firmware for this device at all) and I'm humbly asking for any help or advice that anyone is willing to share with me. I'm having to resort to using text now & voice over WiFi with no access to my carriers services. Thank you in advance!
P.S. I also put a screenshot with the current kernel and baseband as well, because I'm not sure if either of those got updated during the last system update.

There is now firmware available. I'd try flashing stock

Dial *#*#info#*#* which will open up a menu to change radio from 3g to LTE only, and others, try them.
Also is your apn set?
