Yeah man supposedly it was a "mistake" but for me I believe it was a test. They wanted to see how the update reacts to the phones so that they can get the bugs worked out for the official release.

TRUST what this man says - I side loaded it last night before Braden's warning! What I see is what I got!!! Tried to run "Titanium Backup" to restore my Apps, etc. - it says "Sorry, you don't have Root privaleges". Tried to Root using "Droid Razr Utlity" - doesn't work on this JB - get "Access Denied" and similar errors when trying to Root. As I said "What I see is what I got!" The good news is, it seems to be working very smoothly... (as he crosses his fingers)

Mooch, it's a Google App now... "Play Music" with a set of headphones as an Icon. Brings up my music list and works just like "My Music" did, as far as can see.

Side-loaded the update last night.. At first it ran like crap, but now all is well. I also did a cache partition format after the update. Widgets initially took a long time to load, but once loaded, had no problems.

Honestly, Project Butter has only made a small improvement on the scrolling/overall smoothness. Haven't really played with Google Search/Now yet. To me it's a minor upgrade from ICS.

if you plan to side load, follow the instructions to the T , it will work. but be warned, we don't know if this is the official update. you must root and stay rooted, just in case this is not the official update, so you can get back on the upgrade path at a later date. if you do not root, and keep your root, then we don't know what may happen when the next update is released.

That's what soak testing is for. This was blatantly a mistake.

Add another issue. Bluetooth connectivity gets interrupted when accessing certain apps, but especially Gmail and Facebook.

Keep in mind not all apps are optimized for JB yet

I got a notification saying I had an update but nothing happened. Said “error” I check the updates now and says my phone is up to date but still on ICS.

What to do? 

Well Verizon gave us a glimpse of hope on Christmas that they do plan to get us Jelly Bean soon, that's at least better than the vague answers we have been given from Motorola in the past

I could've/should/ve rooted this time, but the way I look at it (this time) is it was leaked to probably 1000 phones (or more), and I'm just one more person who has that update on his phone.. If it wasn't the final release, I'm not the only one who has it, so there WILL be a way to upgrade from it. Maybe I'm wrong, but to me it was worth the risk..

gotta have a disclaimer anytime we supply a way to do something. CYA buddy.

So far the jelly bean update has made my razr maxx into a great device again. Just a few days ago I was ready to jump ship. There is now life in this device again!

The chain it has to go through to release an update is long it is not just a person pushing a button that says release patch.

Unless the guy at the end of the chain said "hey, I wonder what will happen if I push this button that says release patch"

Exactly! It is like that big red button under the plastic cover that says do not touch and yet it is soo intriguing that you do anyway

**Lp09** · 12-26-2012, 08:28 PM

has anyone got the weather widget and notepad widget missing after the update??? I updated my Razr Maxx and those widgets are gone and my Handcent messaging is running a little slow now............. anyone with ideas??

It's been reported on multiple sites that the release occurred inadvertently during a glitch in a server upgrade which was shut down as soon as it was discovered...?
