Fascinate MR2 (DL09) Waiting Lounge: Annnouncement Now on Verizon's Website
- Thread starter iworkforverizon
- Start date
It's a good thing we have hard working developers creating custom roms for this phone. I went back to stock to wait for this update but if today comes and goes without an update then I'm going back to Skywalker or something else. Kind of want to use the AOSP if they get the MMS bugs fixed.
You know, this bottle of jack daniels I've been sippin' on really makes me not care any more. My phone is already blazing fast, and with skyfire I can already view imbedded youtube video. So I'm thinking I don't really need froyo. Besides I have another line that has been ready for upgrade for months now. Guess I'll just get a galaxy T or whatever they decide to call it. As long a it has dual core whatever and such. Don't really care about 4G since I live in a small city and won't see that until 2015 probably. Would be cool though. And I'm not a morning drinker. This is my late night. late shift FTW!
Dame i wish we can sue Verizion for false advertising for advertising a working phone and strong arm us on re signing for another 2 years and on top of that screw us with a 2-4 hundred dollars when we find out later that a major aspect of the phone dose not work. And bend the truth and tell us the will be an update but we don't know when but it will be soon .. So we keep the phone because we see what the phone can be with a proper build also we believe the cell company that we!! pay and pay with our hard earn money probably doing jobs that we don't like.. But we want good phone service.
So we pay more a month get into a 2 year contract and know that Verizon will slam us with hundreds of dollars if we deride that we don't want to pay that high monthly charge and deal with the Verizon lies.. Hey Verizon!! people are not Robots that are programed and don't change there mind. And a cell phone is not a house or a mortgage. Dame a mortgage is easier to get out of than a Verizon contract
And now we only will have 15 days to decide if we to keep the phone . We only have 30 days to send in the rebate and to decide if we want the phone but how can we decide anything if you don't tell up the dame truth about the freaking update!!! i wish Verizon had a poll of (Who has Verizon service? And who has it but want to switch but cant get out of there contract?) I bet the poll will be shocking.. 2.2 would be nice but i think were stuck with 2.1 for a wile

After going through the debacle that was the Droid X 2.2 "fix" and now this, I have filed a complaint with the BBB. The fact that VZW sold accessories that were labeled to only work with 2.2 implies an update is coming. The fact that the GPS doesn't work out of the box is a warranty issue. Verizon has done nothing about EITHER for 4 months now. I'd say that is grounds for a complaint.
After living through 2 years with a Storm I under Verizon's guise of support I have come to become a hardened realist. Until it is downloaded to your computer or is currently on your phone it does not exist.
It is easy to fall victim to interpretations, fabrications, pranks, and rumors.
Take advantage of the resources that do exist. The Dev guys have put together some great ROMs and I have been flashing new fonts and themes, kernels,... the list goes on.
I am not going to spend a lot of time complaining about a (currently) nonexistent update.

Add to that the promise that the Verizon employees made to a LOT of us that the software update was coming "soon". They sold the device under a false pretense, acknowledging faults in the product yet still encouraging us to buy it as the faults would be fixed. I don't know the legal term for that off the top of my head, but the fact that Verizon salespeople admitted there were problems with the GPS and other things when they sold us the phone holds up for litigation.
I have read where others were having GPS problems with their new Fascinate phones as well, but I have had no problems with the GPS at all. I bought mine on the 29th of November and it is build number SCH-I500.DI01.
I'm with you... to an extent. Judging by your status, we are running the exact same setup... Stupidfast 1.54 on DJ05. It works great! That said, I can't use Flash, or Chrome2Phone, or App2SD. The update was implied, just as my payment each month is implied. I can't withhold my payment, even though I may have a good reason from time to time (car broke, stove broke, etc) so I expect to hold VZW to the same standard.
Oh come on. Not to be incredulous (since it's easy to read that into almost any of my posts)... But where would you go? They aren't competing with some superior platform that offers unique openness and cutting edge hardware. If you wanted an iPhone you would already have one. Sadly, at the consumer level, Android has so much momentum that companies just want to keep the fire burning at the cutting edge to attract more people and could care less what happens to aging devices. Repeat customers? What are those? Every device is a new experience.

People purchased the phone under the guise that Froyo was coming in the next couple of weeks, and Samsung has been selling accessories that do not work 100% w/o 2.2 OS. So it is less about it being just an update and more about customer service and being lied to.
I meant samsung... HTC and moto seem to have a better track record at updating their phones. jumping carriers is also another option as well esp with vzw doing away with the NE2 stuff.

Neither Verizon nor Samsung ever said 2.2 would be "available in a couple weeks" either ay launch or since. If a rep in a store said that, take it up with the rep and that store.
I would certainly like to think that the motivation should be for each mfr to keep up with the rest in terms of supporting hardware, but from Samsung's perspective they are doing everything right... They sold 10 million galaxy s phones, with Android 2.1, while other similar phones (from moto and HTC) were out there *already running* 2.2... If it were a big deal to have 2.2, they reason, why have so many people bought a phone with 2.1?
Cue the Jay and Silent Bob style montage, criss-crossing the country punching out all 154,325 verizon reps who said "yeah, froyo by the end of the year!"
I tried checking for the update and it wont even load to tell me there is no update..it says server unavailable code:500..does anyone know what that means?
