For future reference, do no post a new thread before you atleast look at what others are saying.
Maybe a quick search would help you, or looking through relevent threads, for example:

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?

I talked to a vzw rep today.
She had no clue on how to fix the issue. According to her. It sounded like a software issue.
I told her my phone was working fine. Till I updated the os.
So supposably something went wrong during my update installation :thumbdown:
Ne ways I'm having a replacement phone comming 2morrow. & according to her. it shouldn't have the same issues. *confused* lol

It is an update issue, the update is broken. It's not a phone issue (unless magically it detects if you're on xda & hates on you)

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

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?

They're either facepalming or laughing their ass off.... Or just working on Gingerbread like good engineers.
That article is nothing to get excited about. We do not have a confirmed N1 on 2.1 update. When i see that I'll believe it.
The idea is that we need to have 2 things to have it official:
1. One google employee stating the roll out has began.
2. A 2.1 N1 gets the update.
Till then, fry your brains with articles like these.
What is the build for this one?

Cellular South HTC Hero 2.1 Update (NEXT WEEK!!!!!)

Quote from Cellular South
"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.

When is this so called 2.2.1 update coming ota? I've read online that there is a leaked version for those rooted but I'm not and I want my ota update damn it! I asked a rep this weekend and he said "in the next two months" but he also said the same thing when i asked when lte was coming out...oh those silly Verizon workers

There are no dates yet, officially or unofficially. Just stay tuned.
Motorola won't even admit the leak is their work. Get on motorola owners forum you will see the lack of communication on motorolas part. They also refuse to provide any information about possible update timelines... They operate their business like they do their boot loaders...

the last official communication from Motorola is here:
_https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/38876_
While the leak runs like a finished product, there's no guarantee that it's ever coming OTA anyways. It does fix most of what was posted in the link above.
Also, I believe that VZW rep was right about LTE
LTE was launched yesterday(Dec. 5)! As far as a 2.2.1 OTA... only time will tell.

Ec05 update 03/24/2011

Read several threads where people spoke with Sprint reps. They said there was an issue with EC05 so they pushed it back till the 24th. If this means anything from Sprint those on the East Coast wait till the 25th and if you get a update before please let everyone know.
It would be nice if Sprint has some idea what it means to communicate with their customers and post this officially. God forbid they keep us in the loop.
Company communication SUCKS in general these days, which is REALLY sad considering how many mediums we have to communicate with!
This is me speculating...but I don't think its been pushed back.
The update started on the 21st to be delivered through to the 24th. I would think that the reps are telling people the 24th b/c there's nothing they can do but have us wait and they don't want people calling repeatedly.

I can see your point of view. However has anyone received an stock EC05 update as of yet? Everyone reporting nothing. No one has publish a update.zip file at all.
Dude, you do realize the people that go to XDA are in the minority. Most people could care less when and if their phone is updated. They don't look at the next update as a cure to all their ills.
I would say 9 out of ten Epic owners have no idea what XDA even is.

seriously?!?!?! aww crap balls
I'm sure we have a ton of lurkers who'd never post.
Either way - We have two reports on various forums of someone receiving the update. There is also one tweet from someone about 16 hours ago. I imagine they start out slow and increase the size of the batches as they update.
The next 12 hours will be very telling I think.

If you got an a message to update then post the update.zip. For gods sake man, everyone has waited and I haven't seen anyone post a file or a message about getting a real update. All I seen was the leak, and it is not what people want. If we got the stock we could root it and post it out there for others. Thats whats this forum is all about helping others. Positive and helpful comments only. If Sprint wanted everyone to have it there would be tons of posts about getting EC05. So far nothing and NO update file. Look in /cache and the root of your sdcard. I am sure Sprint has a script at the end that deletes the file. If you don't have root explorer write me back and I can seen you the apk. We really need to know if this is the real deal though!

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

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.
