"We have approved the Hero 2.1 Android update and it has now been handed over to Google and HTC for their final approval. When this occurs, the software will be available to download from the online Discover Center. We will provide more details here next week as soon as it’s available."
Right off their facebook page! YES!!!!
Note: If you want to root your phone later, Do NOT apply this update!!! IF YOU ARE ROOTED, DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE EITHER!!! This WILL wipe your phone and root! I will be making a stripped down flashable version once it is released!
Wow sorry to hear you had to wait what, an extra month and a half? That's nuts.

I'll be damned. I know they said they were going to but CS has been the let down kings for years. Maybe they're getting their **** together.

Yeah the wait has been way too long.. I'm not even worried about the update that much since the xda community gives me more(and better!!) options than CS ever could lol I just want my picture messaging already...

Yep, it's too bad they fixed it. I was in store yesterday showing off CM7 to my friend who is the manager and he was very impressed by the way....any how he asked me if I was having any problems with my Fascinate, I said no, it's great.
He said " aren't you having an issue, wink wink" I said yeah maybe, why is it discontinued so they are replacing with a new model.....he said yes, the Charge or several other models....he then began to punch keys on his computer and said oh nope they canceled the deal because the OTA fixes the calling issue. He said the offer went for about a week before the update came out. It is supposed to fix the issue where you get a voicemail but never an incoming call... hell I thought it was a network issue, not a device issue. Oh well, updated to the new ED04 then installed JTs CM7
Kicking ass and taking names on gingerbread
CM7 ooooh yeah

ED04 has not fixed the missed call issue apparently. Some on Verizon forums are reporting this and I have missed two or three calls now after going to ED04. Think I'm going back to something else.

While I'm not having a missed call issue, I am having a problem with Data going on and off and random and doesn't matter where I am at. I can drive around a 30 mile radius and it still seems to be a problem.
Here is something I thought I would pass along. I called verizon this morning and just told them that I have calls that were going straight to voicemail without the phone ringing and without getting a missed call message. I told them that I did a factory reset and that did not fix the problem. They then gave me the option to switch to the charge, incredible 2 or the droid x. I didn't have to do anything else and now will be rocking 4g on the charge!
Now I feel like getting this update to see if I get that straight to voicemail problem. I want the Charge, damn it. >.< haha
Bow chika wah wah
^Hmmmmm...
I would have taken the Droid X so I could be rocking a full Gingerbread. I've seen the Inc2 in the store and reception is worse than the SF.

damn !!
well in past one and a half month of getting my vzn fsc , i have tried practically all Roms available and all the radios , and really
this freakin no missed call ( yet bloody missed ) is killing me ,
sometimes i have flashed my phone like 10 times in a row on any given day to just find a combo having no missed calls thingy , better battery and better voice and data ,
ultimately gonna go back to DL09
but i sincerely think neither vzn nor sprint is gonna be able to fix this missed call thing in the cdma version of android os , its the mess created by google , they are just not able to fix it and they are hiding it .
Its was never a network issue its there in the OS.
Has anyone got the OTA that is supposed to be released today or tried *#*#checkin#*#* for the update?
I wonder if Google is going to release an OTA for both GRJ06D and GRJ22, or just GRJ22.

What he is referring to is if the OTA will be pushed to both GRJ06 (original build) and GRJ22 (first update). I would imagine it would go to both, starting with GRJ22 first and then pushed to any straglers left on 06...
just tried the checkin code. no update

It was said only 5% will get it today. But jeezo, you'd think it would be out by now. Maybe the ones getting it 1st, don't know they have it yet.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Yeah I was also checking in to see if anyone had received the update but I guess not. I'm pretty sure to update you have to have the option under setting>about phone>system-updates which I do not have running Cyanogen. Also if you were to do the update you will probably loose root is my guess.
im currently unrooted and have not seen anything yet... will post if something hits
Loaded up factory images checked in succeeded, no updates as of yet.
If 5% of the 4G users get the patch today that's hardly a noticable amount, guess we'll have to wait for another day or two before more reports come in.
If you notice, when updating prl, data stays intact. As before it always cut off
i've tried dialing *#*#checkin#*#* from my nexus and i keep getting "the feature code you entered is not valid. message one" and then it hangs up. i don't get the following showing "checkin succeeded"

Why not wait, It's not guaranteed to come today. but you have 30 days and if this update fixes the issues it has had I doubt you will be upset at keeping the phone.
Right now I have 1 problem and that is signal.

I called Samsung today at (800) 726-7864. According to Samsung customer service representative they are working on Gingerbread update for T-mobile Vibrant T959. I asked her if this is what she thinks or is this info 100% confirmed and she said it is confirmed and there will be an update but currently there is no ETA on it.
Does this mean there is still hope for the update?
Did you ask her about the battery life?

so i just for hoots and hollers i called the number that
gun posted
and asked them if there was a gingerbread update being tested
for the tmobile vibrant t959
and was told yes there is an update being tested but there is no
eta when it will be released
so i again asked is it a gingerbread update and was told
again there is an update being tested
i was like thats only part of what i asked
i know theres an update being tested and you have confirmed it
but i would like to know is it a gingerbread update
and was told we cannot confirm wether its a gingerbread or newer
os update ....but yes an update is being tested but no eta
on a release date ....
so all i got out of it was a 50/50 chance of it being a GB update
.......
now before yall start whinning about we need pics or more
evidence about it ..heres a solution for ya
try calling the number gun posted and ask about it yourselfs
and wow it took a whole 5 minutes out of my busy day to call and ask them
Thanks Gun for the info

Redundancy of the OP's complaint aside, none of those posts suggest a potential solution to the problem. Does anyone have one? This all stems from a seemingly broken constant connect to Google, which results in most, or all, of the following symptoms:
White connection bars instead of green
Inability to connect with Gtalk
Auto-Sync with any Google service (gmail) disabled, despite check in settings
Someone suggested they were getting a push for an update, but there have been no details, and I'm not seeing anything. Aside from switching back to 2.3.3 or to CM9, is there anything else we can try?

Most Verizon reps seem to think that rooting tampers with hardware... I've been down that road with the Samsung Fascinate. I wasn't thrilled to say the least but I was still able to get a replacement since they couldn't prove that it was the reason why the phone failed. My patience for tech support of any kind is fairly thin due to me being an avid tech enthusiast...

Id be interested to see if the new phone has the same issues, I have flashed back to 2.3.3 multiple times and OTA'd back to 2.3.4 , each time the same problem, gtalk broke and service bars stay grey, and google sync never works unless I manually do it.
I called verizon today and I to have no use for verizon tech support I think each time I was more knowledgeable about my phone and its software/firmware then whoever I was speaking to.
I posted my every bit of the useless conversation I had with verizon in the proper thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25807552#post25807552
I feel like Verizon for some reason rushed the release of this version of gingerbread. There is constant talk that sony let Verizon have it for not updating the phone on time. I smell a rushed update!
Sorry to be a nub amongst you. But, can anyone tell me what improvement 2.3.3 provides over 2.3.2 for r800x. Btw, I'm using a different carrier, running 2.3.2 and bootloader is locked(cwm recovery mode installed and working and rooted). Thanks in advance

I know one thing about verizon they want to stay big red so they are not going to have to many upset customers. the 2.3.3 update for the phones was in september. I wonder if Verizon will get an ICS build in june or july. I can dream cant I?
