Verizon is reporting that the Gingerbread Update is Coming Soon!!

[jm013]

If the other unofficial builds had broken VM, it is a very easy and quick fix to update before they release the official build. If you want a good Visual Voicemail use Google Voice, the best way to go and it is free.

PS So many other ways to use this great app. Anything built by Google is at least worth checking out.

My voicemail indicator works fine. Then again I'm running stock froyo.

yup, both of these. the VM indicator doesn't let you know you have a VM until you reboot. and after you reboot, and then listen to your VM, it doesn't go away until you reboot again. so after any missed call I'll call my VM to see if a message was left.

huh, my indicator doesnt work at all, with or with our reboots...

None of those other builds were official so they have no reason to announce they are fixing the voicemail icon if they didn't officially release software that has it broken. Mine works fine.

Yes that would be right...but many of us are runing what should be the official release with broken vm notification....

They don't have to announce anything, there are already people running this build, we already know what's wrong with it. The bullet point would say "we broke voicemail notifications, also your gtalk video will be upside down"great improvements, thanks! I already use google voice so the vm thing doesn't bother me.

Add far as the new icons and what not, this should bring the stock folks up to sense 2.1, so that doesn't seem like anything impressive when some thunderbolt owners are already running 3.0 or .5.

Re: Verizon is reporting that the Gingerbread Update is Coming So

I have been trying to do a new software check all morning and I get the same unavailable message that I and a lot of others were getting when the last update was starting to roll out. Could be and probably is a coincidence, but I'm taking it as sign that it is on the way.

I just tried and I am getting the "No New Updates" message. This as of 8:38am Pacific Time on 9-27-11

I just now have been able to get MR2. Up until now I wasn't able to get it. Maybe that means that Gingerbread is about to be released.

Gingerbread has been reported as "coming soon" for months, I'll believe it when it's here.

That's because it's still not here. It's only being REPORTED that it is coming soon......the same thing they've been reporting for months now......

Re: Verizon is reporting that the Gingerbread Update is Coming So

Woohoo....! Look at these two....!!!

+ Improved data connectivity.
+ SMS messages send to correct recipient.

Very cool. This is all I need.

Weird that they chose to list these under "New Device Features" rather than "Enhancements". Weird.

Not quite the same as it has been for months.

They released the pdf which usually means within the next few days, this is the first time we have seen the pdf.

So it is more then just them telling us now.

I'm not impressed with the new radios, thinking about going back to MR2...

SMS messaging could have just been fixed by switching to handcent or gosms?

Does the whole dock icon description sound like the mytouch ui...? idk the three icons switching just sounds like it! I'm probably wrong though

Yes but have something like stock sms working seems pretty important even though you can get around it.

Re: Verizon is reporting that the Gingerbread Update is Coming So

for those that flashed the RUU; do we have confirmation that the FFC is now functional w/ Google, Skype, etc.?

Re: Verizon is reporting that the Gingerbread Update is Coming So

It has been reported here I think that handcent/gosms also does the unintended recipient thingy. Hence, a Froyo issue, not application.
