Verizon update

My biggest gripe is Verizon's lack of transparency. I wish they would provide an estimated date at least instead of just being a black box. I work in the software development space and understand delays happen but there's always a communicated targeted release date.
 
On a lark, I just tried the "Live Chat" function on the Verizon support site and asked where this update was. They claimed that the first wave went out yesterday (8/4/15). I am skeptical of this since I have not seen this information anywhere else, but it's still interesting to hear this. I don't suppose it would hurt to have a few others try this just to see if the responses are similar.

*Note - they implied that the manufacturer was doing this. This part of the process has always been confusing to me.
 
I did the same thing on Monday, and they acted like that had no idea about 5.1. Asked if I meant 5.0.2. Then finally said 5.1 had too many bugs, and was being "fixed". Made no sense.

I just tried the manual update process and it says no updates are available at this time. I know in the past that they push by region but you could always get it immediately using the manual update process. So I guess we'll see if their "first wave went out yesterday (8/4/15)." is true or not over the next few days.

You would think that it would have been announced had the update actually started.
 
So I'm pretty sure I know why Verizon hasn't release the 5.1 update for the M9 yet... it's probably because they shifted their testing efforts to push 5.1.1 with StageFright fix for the Galaxy line, which makes it the second update in less than two month for the Galaxy line
 
Supposedly it is going to be released this week with the stage fight patch according to mo versa via Twitter... We shall see...
 
Verizon isn't just behind the other carriers they are behind the whole world Europe and Asia have gotten the update too . If this update is can improve sales HTC should be all over them if not I guess it doesn't matter.
 
Yeah I read that on another forum (XDA) he had responded to someone's question. We will see I guess...
 
Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. I don't know why Verizon is always so far behind. Aren't they the #1 carrier in the US? They really need to step up their game.
 
It's Mo Versi not Versa. His Twitter handle is moversi. I'm one of the people that he's been sometimes responding to.
