Gingerbread Arrival?

**ItnStln511** · 06-08-2011, 04:55 PM

Does anyone know when the Droid 2 Global will get the Gingerbread update?

I was wondering the same thing... It's like we are the red-headed step child of the Droid family lol.

Verizon needs a droid nexus, then maybe we can get some updates on time and no motoblur lol

**Chris Parsons** · 06-13-2011, 11:59 AM

Soon.. very soon.

**ItnStln511** · 06-13-2011, 12:14 PM

Yes! It's about time.

Also, does the Droid 2 have motoblur? I'm just asking because when I added my Yahoo e-mail to my Droid 2 Global I got an e-mail saying something like "welcome to motoblur.".

we will have to un-root i am guessing then ...

Yes (almost) all Motorola Droid phones have Motoblur, though they are once again talking about phasing out the name. The new Motoblur (as I have experienced on the Droid Pro) is actually quite a nice update over the old one.

Just got off the phone with Verizon Level 2 Tech Support rep right now - 2.3 is, in fact, releasing today. No idea when it will actually hit, but checking manually isn't pulling anything for me. They didn't seem able to push it to me, either. Oh well.

Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow when my 4th D2G arrives...sheesh...

Any updates anyone?

I've read in several places that it came out today, but checking manually isn't getting me anything either.

On a related note: I'm rooted (with z4root) and still new to the whole rooting thing; will I need to unroot before I update to Gingerbread (whenever it becomes available to me)?

**gu01312** · 06-15-2011, 06:37 PM

anyone get it yet?

it would be advisable for you to do so. You will almost certainly loose root anyway during the upgrade and a rooted phone can cause problems for OS updates.

No update for me

i think what was announced is that the testers are getting it now, which means full release should be a week or so away assuming everything goes swimmingly.

Testers haven't got it yet...

Still waiting

**ethan** · 08-05-2011, 09:03 AM

Yeah, this is crazy! It's already on the X, how hard can it be to get it to the D2?

**pckid47** · 08-17-2011, 11:34 AM

from my understanding on the gingerbread update on the D2 and D2G, it was suppose to release shortly after the D3 was released. so far i have not seen anything in site though

They DX Gingerbread update was extremely buggy and it spooked them. They never pushed the update for the Droid PRO either and a perfectly good build leaked. The heywill push, it when they are confident they won't be be repeating the mess they had with the x

**barthawk** · 08-18-2011, 05:27 PM

Given how buggy the D2G is right now, it seems like it wouldn't be hard to make an improvement with an upgrade that has probably been in testing for several months.

**Brickman#CB** · 08-19-2011, 12:47 PM

I have been waiting patiently for GB and finally got sick of all the delays so I installed Cyanogenmod 7. All I can say is wow! If you are worried about warranty and stuff I could see waiting. My phone is more than a year old so I lost nothing. The difference in performance is startling. I should of done this months ago.

**barthawk** · 08-19-2011, 06:47 PM

I checked out Cyanogen Mod and it looks like there is an unofficial mod of cyanogenmod 7 that supports the D2G, but it has issues with the bluetooth and also switching between the GSM/CDMA modes. Anybody have any experience with it?
