Accidentally accepted M on my Sprint Note 4. HATED IT. Un reliability was cured by Factory Data Reset. What was not cured was Android M's intolerable insistence to force selection of default programs fur categories like browser or navigation. I bounce between 5 different browsers depending...

Pick me! Pick me!

Glad to hear it was pain-free, EchoDude. Did you pull the update or was it pushed to you?

New rooting on top of Gingerbread recently succeeded. Check out http://heartheecho.webs.com/apps/forums/show/6229967-echo-development

I made the move from the Palm Pre on Echo's Launch Day after MLB dropped support for the Palm Pre. I am still happy with my choice. Hater reviewers (and PODCASTERS - yes you!) had rage with the seam between the screens. I looked at the 2nd screen as a bonus. Instead of a slider keyboard, I...

My echo reboot problems were resolved when I got the 2.3.4 update. Tracking / GPS apps like RunKeeper and My Tracks are now stable with the 2.3.4 update.

Got a replacement after my Launch Day echo was Gingerbricked. On vacation (roaming from Sprint). Went to a coffee shop to get wifi for the upgrade. Download took 20-30 minutes (seemed like too long). Told it OK (instead of Later) . Never got the updating Android graphic. I am REALLY worried...

I would welcome tips on getting back to my installed apps & settings after getting a replacement Echo. Just plugging in my original SDcard does not display my apps as installed. Phone and SD were at about 90% full b4 this problem. Android market let me download my paid apps again, no problem...

EXACTLY the same experience, Castorshells (but no offer/threat to mail).

I did the download a few times myself. Finally had the screen with the Andy out of the box graphic. Before it completed, it rebooted and is now stuck @ Kyocera logo. Sprint store after work.:'(

jasonkc25: Are you saying Sprint Store unbricked it? What os did you leave with? Installed software retained?

Note to self: Check the forum BEFORE allowing update.:'(

I had the same z4root hang that marktheshark reported on my echo.
