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.

Why did it take them 2 months to release a MR that only fixes two issues? That's my question.

Probably same reason it took them that long to release 2.2.

Froyo was ED01. It was released very shortly after April first. The MR update name ED04 means april fourth.

I updated to ed04 Friday and I just now downgraded the modem to ed01. Missed 4 calls last night and 3 this morning.

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.

Another T-Mobile update this morning?

About 8:45AM EST, my phone, for the second time this month, did a little update. I let it go through the process since the last one went well. Nothing really happened. It asked me to restart, I did, then it just booted back up.
Did anyone else get this? Also, does anyone know what it did? I still have 2.1-update1 so eh?
Thanks!
What does it show your baseband and build number as?

Second update here as well. I ran the (soft brick-inducing) update a week or so ago too.
Today: un-rooted, let it do its thing. Took like 2 minutes tops.
Baseband version still listed as JI2 (though to be honest, I don't know how it got to that in the first place. as far as I knew, I had been running JFD all along).

I don't know, I'd say if you don't have the JI6 and you just got an update notification, it's probably that. Since you are still running JFD.

IDK tho. When I get these updates, nothing seems to happen. The phone reboots, says SAMSUNG GALAXY VIBRANT, reboots again, and then loads up.
I never seems to notice any changes or performance. Plus, my GPS still blows.
Not sure. Could always wipe And manually install Ji6 And see What happens? If you want to. Havent seen anyone else on other forums say anything about an update after JI6.

I say just use Kies Mini if you want the update and cant wait. I thought I could wait but couldnt and I didnt feel like messing with Odin (yet). Grabbed Kies Mini, connected the phone after backing up everything and I didnt remove root. Phone updated fine and I lost root but not data, no bricking, no nothing. Re-Rooted and have no complaints about JI6 except the MediaHub related processes you have to kill. just to add to the topic, a couple days ago, the device management icon popped up in my notification bar and when i pulled down the notification tab it stated it was trying to connect to the DM sever. The same thing that happened when I followed the instructions in the "how to Force the OTA update" thread.
Hello!
I think its for the gps lag fix. my gps works really well now

Has anyone received the Nexus S 4G OTA yet?

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.

Lots of post-EG22 builds

Don't know if it's important, but I just noticed there are 4 post EG22 builds.
EG29
EG30
EH02
EH03
I reckon it's about done, eh?
EH04 and EH05 too.
yes, judging by these builds it seems like they are almost done and doing small stuff like making sure apps are working as they should and optimizing code and such. I remember when i had my hero they always sped up build rate before release (2.1).
Oh yeah, I see the EH04 & EH05 now, but how can that be? That would be tomorrow & the next day's builds... Has Samsung figured out how to bend time?

With the rate of release, I suspect they are stripping out the debug features. Hopefully it's soon, I'd like to see GB on the Epic before I plunge off to the Within or the Epic 4G Touch as they are now calling it.
Damn... EH11. I thought they'd stop at EH06. Does the timer reset near the end as well? The testing/QA timer that is.

In development you have UAT QA which leads to this multiple builds drama. Everytime the QA tech kicks back the code the devs go back recompile the fix and they have to stamp it with a new build number.

Well nothing a custom rom,kernal and mods can't fix.
So does this offically start at midnight or will it be tomorrow morning?
Call me a cynic, but based off their history, there's a pretty good chance that Samsung/Sprint might screw this one up like Froyo and we might have it pulled.
Good find! Let's see if Sprint updates their website tonight.
Hooray! I will be interested to see what the Airrave notification fix is.
what was the EAS HTML Tagging issue that they fixed ?
If ei22 is final the gps still sucks without the fix. Unless the modem fixes that. I'm not a dev so I don't

If you are using EAS (push emal with Microsoft Exchange) you can have the problem where the email is in plain text formatting but the HTML tags are included <BR><BR> as an example. We use Exchange 2003 at our office and its been a problem. Solution is to root and install Fascinate's email. I like the Fascinate email program better anyway.
So the first 5 days of the rollout, only 11% of the users will see the update total? Wow, we should all go back to stock tonight so we can make sure at least one of us grabs it.
From what i read 100% over 8 days. hxxp://m.androidcentral.com/gingerbread-sprint-epic-4g-begins-rolling-out-tomorrow-nov-9-rumor

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 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

Actually, the kernel was built in October, if you check the 2.3.4 build.prop, it'll tell you when it was built.

It's the Update that smells, not the release time!

Pax I hear you I don't think it was sony getting on verizon about this several customers myself included demanded an update. 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?

Well all I can tell you an os update improves security and allows you to use certain apps.

Well I got my replacement phone.
Sadly It didn't come installed w/234.
But I did get the os update. I'm debating if I wanna stock to 233, or go ahead & update the os. I don't got be apps installed atm. So it shouldn't mess up the installation :,/
