Re: New RAZR update IS NOT rolling out.
What are you talking about? No new updates have been pushed to the general public yet. How do you know you got an update if your phone was bricked when you woke up? The only place this update is coming from right now are unsupported downloads of some pre-release version.
Okay, you are totally correct in saying "how do you know you got an update if your phone was bricked when you woke up". I have not yet proved that I did receive the update, as no I can't turn the phone on any longer. I am assuming, since they just announced an upcoming update, that I received it last night. My phone was fully charged and working properly last night....Did it just up and brick itself out of the blue??? Maybe....but, I'm still suspicious of the update announcement, the fact that Verizon likes to push out these updates on Fridays, and the fact that while I was "going off" on Verizon's tech support they never denied that the update was truly the problem. If it wasn't they would've just stated "we didn't push the update". I'm waiting for a supervisor to call me back, so I'll try to get confirmation of the update.
As far as folks trying to manually get the update by going to settings and choosing update, you may not see anything yet. Verizon phases the availability of the updates to blocks of serial numbers, so that they aren't flooded with people downloading the update (or maybe it's so that they aren't flooded with support calls if they do brick your phone).
I'll follow up after speaking with the supervisor, to let y'all know if it was indeed the update that did it. I
could potentially be jumping the gun and pointing fingers. I've just never had a phone up and randomly brick on me. I can understand if I was using it, installing an app, etc.. But, just in the middle of the night??? Does that happen?
Averix, I appreciate you calling me out on this, as you could be completely correct.....
