They didn't give up. But I'm not sure if it means a new build is coming or if 16 is it. No idea.

**zachthebomb13** · 02-16-2013, 05:26 PM

My hope is 16 worked for the RAZR, they needed a few more tweaks, up to 18 for the 4, and up to 19 for us.

Glad to know this

BTW I think Motorola is only focusing on their security & standards. Otherwise by this time the build should be out.

Samsung already moved to 4.2 for all their galaxy series.

And as far as I know S4 will be on dual platform i.e Android & Tizen (Samsung new os against Google with all android apk support )

I am interested in why it makes 'perfect' sense for a 'that large' phone to 'move the power button ''away'' from the top'. Please? Humor me? Ergonomics interest me.
This is a sarcasm and flame-free question.

Too big in your hand to comfortably hold and press top with one hand

Another week has nearly passed. Has anyone <wink> heard anything new?

**SamuriHL** · 02-20-2013, 06:48 PM

no.

I'm known for that.

As long as I get to keep my redline stapler and don't have to deal with TPS reports.

Was reading old posts to see how far we've come in the last few months. First I'm surprised we've been talking about this since October. Second, it's funny that if we get jb by April we'll all be happy now...

Former Bionic owner-wanted to note that Moto has updated their JB schedule, reconfirming JB for the Bionic. No timeline provided.

Yup. There's absolutely NO information right now on when/if things are coming. I wish I had anything to give you guys but I don't. I just don't know. Build 19 is still being tested but who knows what that means.

**gwhizkids** · 02-22-2013, 01:20 PM

I know its been said a million times, but these guys are nuts for treating their customers this way. I would rather have bad news than no news. We all know adapting this software to the various hardware configurations is not easy. I think we'd be a lot more tolerant if they told us what the problems were.

**SamuriHL** · 02-22-2013, 01:22 PM

I know what the problem is. It's not an issue with the builds. It's an issue with VZW accepting them. Same crap we went through with ICS. That's why Moto's not able to give you a firm release date for ANY of the OMAP4 builds. If it were up to Moto we'd have had the builds pushed by now.

Leak leak leak :-)

Not gonna happen. Leaks are history. And have been since the day ICS was released.

If you can say, what is Verizon's big deal with these builds? Not enough bloatware?

But seriously, is it some sort of network issue or are they just "we'll do it because we can"?
