Official Notice - Just a Little Late - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

I just got a text message from AT&T telling me that "an important update is available for your phone." Of course, when I try to check, "the server is unavailable." Which is why I downloaded the upgrade a week ago by "sneaking in" the back door. I'm sure glad I didn't wait for the text message to arrive.
I think it's safe to assume that the "update" is not any fixes for the problems that have been identified with the upgrade.

Please search there are already a few threads about this. And no there are no ics fixes. The update they are talking about is the ics release

New firmware update currently being tested. Expected release within two weeks.

News regarding the coming firmware update for the O2X.
LG Denmark confirms that the update is ready by next week or next week again - that is week 23 or 24.
- "The update is imminent, and are ready in one to two weeks, " says LG's Danish mobile manager Morten Aagaard to Mobilsiden.dk.
He explains that the update is currently being tested on all operators' networks in Denmark to ensure that it works one hundred percent - the same testing is currently also being performed in other European countries. When the update is a joint European release it must be released simultaneously in all countries.
"Therefore it is hard to say when exactly the update comes. It's fair enough that people get angry, but the update must of course also just be working, "says Morten Aagaard.

Well, it is still the newest statement from LG that we have at the moment.
But in general, I think every manufacturer should have a "I will believe it, when I see it" section. HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson to name a few. The list is long
haha, thats right, but iam lucky with my slick n.31 rom, very fast and stable, got no freezes or something.Iam anxios, how the devolopers will improve the new LG rom ^^
They probably are not sure they actually located the rebooting problem. Since it is (almost) impossible to reproduce the reboot they need such a long testing time, with no indication at all it will fix things lmao...

well. im not having any reboots...
what i want is gingerbread
I think we can believe them, that they try... it can't be easy to identify, and cure such a random thing... we should let them test it... no one would be satisfied if the just released a patch which won't help be patient people, LG knows he has to care, unless people won't buy their future stuff... they'll fix our problems
They will try it..and when they will see the first reboot or second then its time...!Update is ready reboots is working fine!let the update be released in the whole world... LOL
lets hope not to face something like that again for some fellas here with reboots problems...!
Here's a thought for LG, network operator's testing will only go so far to "break" the firmware.
IMHO, send the test firmware to the top 20 most chronic "battery pullers" on this forum. If they can all run it for a 2 weeks with no problems, it would certainly be a big improvement in stability.
Good news. If without any solution, probably, we need to change to use another mobile.

Return to manufacturer

Hey all, I've been experiencing the dreaded LG freezes and reboots.
Coming from CM, I used NVFlash to go back to stock, stock recovery, stock rom, etc.
I've got it all packed up to send to LG tomorrow for a warranty repair, I'll keep you posted and tell you how it goes, because I know a lot of people are experiencing the same issue as me.
I've been told the process usually takes 7-10 days
The new update for the fix of BSOD is due out in the next week or two, might aswell keep it till then, try the update and if still no good send it back.

Good luck dude. Got mine through carphonewarehouse who told me it would have to be repaired 2 times before they would exchange the handset. My guess is they will either update yours with the upcoming update or just put it all to stock.
Hope it works for ya. I'm waiting for the update, then if all is not well i shall have to go through the motions for something like the htc sensation.
My phone has had no lock ups for ages. Today installed fancy and beautiful widget apps, on charging got BSOD and phone restarted 3 times in-call. Deleted those and launcher pro and adw launcher and now all is well with the world. Why i have no idea!!

well the last update that fixed the crashes/freezes and reboots didn't work. I'm not convinced that LG could write a piece of software to fix a hardware problem as my later model hasn't rebooted/frozen once. And that has the same software on it my earlier model had that rebooted a few times a day.

Well at least they were generous enough to send me a pre-paid Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery package.
It's been just over a week now, and they told me I'd receive it yesterday... I've been calling LG Support nearly every day.
Been 10 days now, and I've just been able to find out that it's "Awaiting parts"... For now it just seems like I'm being dicked around. Less than pleased -.-

Update available tomorrow afternoon??

So...I know I shouldn't believe Verizon reps when it comes down to this ...but I just got off the phone with tech support manager from Verizon trying to get a different phone for my bionic due to data issues. She told if I can hang in there for a day bc new update coming out tomorrow afternoon . I asked her I then can get into a different if it isn't and she me options of any lte device out there or 3g except phone. She told I could then switch to one if update doesn't drop.
I know our community has been given a run around when it comes to updates. Just a fyi that is all.
Oh and it is not ICS its just a update fix for transition 4g-3g and 3g-4g and other "known" problems

looks that way
Since it will be there official update, wonder if anything has been tweaked, changed, etc, from the leaked version that some of us have...
refresh my memory... which update broke webtop?
Does anyone know whether or not forever root will still be valid for this OTA (5.5.893)? I remember p3droid saying do not take any further moto updates as the exploits have been patched...but...
I had data drops 27 times today. I counted and kept track.
This update is long overdue.

I'm with you on that, I go most of the day without data. I have to wait till I get home to use wifi, in lucky if my feeds update. hopefully this will correct the reboots as well.
I have been on 5.6 then 5.7.893, never did the first 5.5.893 but my data drop is definitely alot less often. Maybe only 1x or 2x a week. Its been solid for the last week. Usually when the drop occurs and needs a reboot or airplane mode cycle is when it wakes from sleep.

If my memory serves me correct it was 5.5. 893. They may have made some tweeks though. Someone on the forum in a previous post got the OTA a few days ago and it was 5.5.

According to Verizon's lastest list of fixes for the new OTA, is suppose to fix the dreaded BSOD.
I have the leaked version and I still get BSOD. and yes, pocket protection is off.

VZW Halts OTA

I just got off the phone with VZW. Apparently, they've stopped rolling out the OTA because of "software issues," though he didn't specify beyond that. So, for all of you who have been waiting for the OTA over the past few days, off the top of his head, the tech guesstimated it'll be around a month before they begin rolling it out again. Lame.
Edit: You can still install the .217 leak...but if the update has been pulled for software issues, that obviously means .217 is no longer the official OTA.
What? thats BS! even though im on Eclipse ICS 1.2, its still BS for anyone still on GB!

Yeah, I've been mashing the "systems update" option habitually now for a couple days, but also avoided just manually updating to the .217 leak for this very reason. Either way, it is kind of disappointing.
honestly, if I were you, I would jump on either the 217 leak, or if you want a custom rom that's slightly themed and has extra features/no bloat, go with Eclipse
It wasn't supposed to be released for the general OTA, they did that on accident, only people who were signed up for the motorola feedback network test were supposed to get it, but for some reason they pushed it to all devices. It should be officially pushed in a week or so, because it appears the soak test isn't showing up any major issues.

EDIT: Did NOT work
I called VZW tech support earlier today because it was not working and they did not mention anything about it being halted, but it probably depends on which tech you speak with.
I am not sure if this works or not but the guy I spoke with did tell me that performing a factory reset can sometimes trigger the upgrade. I don't have anything on there that I can't live without or easily re-install so I am going to go ahead and give it a shot.
EDIT: Just tried above. Did NOT work

As mentioned above, there was no planned general release yet. Moto did a release for "a few thousand" phones, of which only a small portion are official MFN soak testers. The test will end soon, and it looks like no show-stopper issues have been found, so, if things go as usual, the general release will roll out, probably in groups, over the next several days.
Sounds like the OP spoke to someone in VZ who really didn't know why the release wasn't available and made something up. (And I bet you never thought a VzW rep would do that!)
Keep in mind, even if they had decided to halt it due to a showstopper bug, they've already released it to several thousand owners. Which means they're obligated to provide anyone on .217 with a way to get back onto the upgrade path, if they decide to release a newer update down the road.
All in all - if you're impatient, just install the current .217 files - you'll still be able to upgrade again later if you need to.
Btw: I'm on it now, and I ABSOLUTELY HATE the Dialer and Contacts being split apart into totally separate apps. I always hit the Dialer icon first, and then if I can't remember a person's phone number, I now have to back out of it and look up the contact first. Whereas on GB I just had to select the Contacts tab and go on. So from a human interface perspective, this new design sucks.

When your in at the dialer screen just push menu then search it goes to your contact list. So its a matter of hitting 2 buttons but you can get to it from dialer. I also miss the other way but im getting used to this and it doesnt bother me anymore

It's happened to me twice now in the last two days that I was unable to hear the people calling me. Switching to speaker mode or rebooting the phone fixed this. Actually only rebooting. Alternating between speaker and normal mode is just a temporary fix as long as I'm in speaker mode. Plug in the headset and it works. Take it out en again no sound... I think it happens after I use BT.
Maybe people who are on this update officially could raise a bit of fuss about this and ask to be put back onto Gingerbread?
As we all know this currently can't be done due to the highly restrictive bootloader, perhaps we could wangle a better bootloader out of this?

Well, we can certainly dream, but given a choice between unlocking the bootloader and shrugging apologetically and insisting nothing can be done, I'm dead sure Verizon will require Motorola to do the latter. :crying:

You didn't. .217 is .217 no matter how you got it. Anyone on the "leaked" .217 is on the official update path as that is what was pushed as OTA.

There are several threads about the update. It was a minor update with several theories about the updates, but for the most part, it appears to have added google drive, fixed a few minor bugs, not fixed GPS and is preparing our devices for a Kitkat upgrade in the near future. Please note that one of the threads had a listing of the update components and these are what I remember.
