droid charge will get 2.3 gingerbread or 2.4 icecream?
- Ice Cream Sandwich won't be release until the end of the year, and Samsung and Verizon will likely take a long time after that to get it ported to the Charge. So, I would like Gingerbread by the end of the summer in the mean time. *shrug* I've given up on hopping for releases, though.06-14-2011 05:00 PMLike 0
- We should get Gingerbread pretty soon, I've heard from several places that Samsung is actively working on it. Considering the international Galaxy S phones already have it, I would expect they're pretty far along with it, as much of the code could be shared. It is a Droid device, and the others are getting GB around now, so I wouldn't worry.
I'm fairly certain it'll get ICS as well, just don't expect it real soon. Google is pushing the manufacturers to update their devices in a more timely manner, and provide support for at least 18 months. There's also the fact that the Nexus S, as a pure Google device, will get ICS soon, and the Nexus S 4G is fairly similar hardware. So its not like Samsung wouldn't be able to get it to run well on it, and its likely to be their flagship VZW device for some time, at least until they can get an LTE version of the GS2 out. Phones with as much marketing behind it as this one tend to get supported very well.06-14-2011 06:12 PMLike 0 -
- Software and security updates that are almost a year old have still not been added to the Charge........that is the big deal.06-15-2011 09:41 AMLike 0

Let me google that for you06-15-2011 10:52 AMLike 0 - There's lots of improvements, some of which have been ported in to custom ROMs, and some more applicable to devs than users. Anyways:

I have herd that Verizon is making the manufactures put a type of spyware that tells them if u are tethering with an app or by way of root app and will disable your 4g connection like AT&T has been doing with the new OS. I will suffer with stock OS if this is the case.06-15-2011 11:13 PMLike 0

- I see that there are a lot of phones out there already running gingerbread with more phones getting the update. I also see phones coming out now with ice cream. When is the charge going to be updated and what version are we going to get, gingerbread or ice cream? From what I have been reading, it has been a while since the charge has received any type of update, mind you I've only had the phone about 2 weeks.07-26-2011 02:30 PMLike 0

- Hopefully that is not the case. I had a droid X that was gingerbread and like it. I was eligible for an upgrade and first tried the X2. It was only running froyo and in ways was a step or 2 back from my Droid X and had heard that there was a possiblity that it wasnt going to be upgraded to gingerbread because of the dual core technology. So I returned it within the 14 day window because of this plus, my area was going 4G and wanted a 4G phone. Even running froyo like it is, the Charge has been faster than my Droid X. Now if you are saying that the Charge may not get gingerbread or even ice cream when it comes out, I wonder, did I make a mistake returning the X2 because contrary to what I was told and read, it now is running gingerbread.07-31-2011 05:32 PMLike 0
- Don't listen to the nay payers. There is no doubt that the charge will get gb. We all ready have two leaks for it. I would guess mid to late August. I would also say we have.a good chance at ICS but that might be stretching it a bit and certainly won't be until next year since it doesn't even get released until late this year
Charged up post!07-31-2011 08:23 PMLike 0 - At this time, my Charge with Froyo has no issues. Everything works. I'll wait until all the bugs are fixed and Verizon provides me with the update. I'm ok with that.08-01-2011 12:09 AMLike 0
