My battery literally went from 100% to 5% between 8 AM and 1 PM today.
I sent and received a bunch of texts, got a few push notifications from GroupMe, and I have my MBW-200 connected via bluetooth. Thats it.
Ever since 2.3.4 its been crap, now my office here is a bit of a cell dead zone, and usually my battery only lasts till about 3-4PM, but thats almost always with more use. On 2.3.3 if I rarely used it it would last well into the evening.
This problem was nowhere near as bad with 2.3.3 .
I've been sticking it out with 2.3.4 hoping for the PS store to finally have some games. I'm very tempted to just flash this crap back and freeze mobile care.
You suck verizon.

If you got an unlocked bootloader I'd say flash cm7 if you want gb, or cm9 if you want ics.. They have pretty good battery life now (which imo is suprising) if it's not unlocked you can use an app called android booster which is pretty sick
Sounds like good 'ol Android to me!

Exactly, I am locked actually, but my point was the ROM from Verizon is junk. If they were releasing it to get people off their backs they failed miserably.

Try undervolting it and install Go Launcher. It has a handy little RAM manager add-on that tells you how long you have left before the battery dies. Also, try buying RAM Manager off the Play Store.
All the above fixed my battery problems
I called Vz today to see if there was any progress on a working 2.3.4, As usual the tech I spoke to had no idea of these problems ( No google sync, No gtalk, ect..) After arguing/debating the tech on common causes, they finally agreed to call Sony. About ten minutes later the Tech came back and said the "Sony claims the 2.3.4 update for the R800x has been cancelled, and that the update would not instal on the device"
Can anyone else confirm the update no longer works as far as it not downloading? I still find it downloadable on my end...And I still find that it is still broke on my end.
Between Verizon and Sony.. were getting no support !
My battery on ICS is abysmal. I run down to 14 % after 7 hours of light use (unplug at 7:30 am, plug in at 2:30 pm). I'm going to end up having to get an extended battery. Signal is low at work, though.

If this is really true then it has reaffirmed the fact that I am done with VZ after my contract, and has even opened me to being done with Sony as well. Way to burn your early adopters....

It still installs 2.3.4. I had to go back to stock from CM9 because the volume is too low for my bass playing caused, hearing impaired ears and stock has plenty of volume. But 2.3.4 sucks. It's definitely broken. If someone has a method for increasing the volume on CM9 or CM7, I'd go back in a hearbeat.
If you use Cyanogenmod you can crank up the volume in the equalizer (DSP). That's what I did.
The point is that we need to root and unlock to get the battery life back to what it should be...

Figures right! Every time I call VZ about, each rep and tech claims there's no record of these problems and blame it on the applications themselves. One tech even tried to tell me the service bars don't turn green... shows how much they know!

I have overheard conversations that the issues with the latest Verizon build were due to a late Verizon encryption requirement that broke Google applications. The issue is being mediated between Verizon and Google to root cause the problem and determine whether Google or Sony will need to issue a patch.

You know what, I think Samsung is 50 percent to Blame. The other 50 percent is T-Mobile. T-MOBILE...simply does not support their phones.
Buying the G2 will be the same damn story. Sure it will come with 2.2, but as soon as 3.0 comes along, every other carrier will have it months before T-Mobile releases it on the G2, and you will cry and complain "the more and more I want Verizon."
I honestly think the problem is T-Mobile, and not so much the handset manufacturers.
tmobile is throwing Samsung under the bus, I got this back from a message I sent to Tmobiles facebook a bit ago..
Robert,
We understand your interest on updates Samsung is working on one and as soon as we have any more information on this we will communicate it.
.. notice they say that Samsung is working on one, I did ask about 2.2 though and not the gps fix.

Honestly, my biggest regret was leaving at&t. I left because I wasn't interested in an iphone, I noticed no good new WM apps were coming along, and I wanted a 3.5 mm headphone jack on my phone. The nexus filled all those needs so when it was released I jumped ship to t-mobile. I found out the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
I still have no idea why people say T-Mobiles customer support is better than AT&T; from everything I've seen it isn't even close.
Someone else posted on here before about T-Mobiles BB getting upgraded to V.5 not too long ago.. they have 6 out or it's close to release. T-Mobile does lack in this "Software/Firmware" Update department. They have some decent phones but don't support them enough.
It's amazing, when the G1 came out, yes it was the first Android phone but updates rolled out pretty quick. I know it was stock "Vanilla" Android but updates were addressed in a timely manor. But now they have the My Touch, My Touch Slide and Cliq series and now the Galaxy S phone.
Wow everyone is a bunch of goddamn vultures here. Waaah I've had my phone a month and a half Samsung and T-Mobile suck I want my updates waaah. People need to realize that updates need to go through a lot of steps. If you don't like your phone return it and get a different one.

So what its perfectly ok for other Galaxy S phones that haven't been out as long as the Vibrant to be getting their updates, but not us? Honestly, I really think it has to do a lot with TMO and not Sammy. Luckily, I've rooted and running a custom ROM and Voodoo fix. I also know that doing that is not for everyone though.
The Captivate came out what like 3 days after the Vibrant? Maybe tmo and Samsung are waiting to see how the update goes on the Captivate. It wont matter anyways we could get it tomorrow and people will still complain that it's not 2.2 or their phone is still not fast enough or some other bullcrap.

Your joking right? First almost 2 1/2 months. Second the others all got a update as mentioned.
All other phones with 1ghz are running froyo, even a hd2 without android has it.lom
I vote we get /b/ to start ****. Maybe then we might get some movement from T-Mo and Samsung... just me? >.>
not that it will do anything to Tmobile but I've decided that whoever gets 2.2 on the Galaxy S device first is who I will be switching to. If its Tmobile then I won't be going anywhere, but if another carrier can get it out before Tmobile see ya.
Tmobile launched this device First int he US there is no reason they should not be the first to release the OS update even if it takes them till November
I do agree that they need to support their phones better. But at least TMO isn't forcing bing down our throats either.
I come from the Blackberry side of the fence and I remember when 5.0 devices were new last year it took forever for TMO to release an update for the 9700, and that original release was filled with bugs. I finally gave up on waiting for them and simply downloaded another carrier's release. Easy to do on that platform.
I like the Vibrant for the most part. Yes it has bugs; yes it's quality needs to be improved. Yes the GPS kind of sucks. But what other high-end phone out there doesn't have issues these days? I'm sure the G2 will have them as well.
nothing here yet...I live in New York.

OTA's are staged out in batches, not all at once. T-Mobile has sold about a million of these phones at this point (given that Samsung claims 3 million SGS Phones sold in the U.S. this is entirely likely). They are most definitely NOT going to update a million phones at the same time.
The update for YOU could come now, tomorrow, next week, or before the end of the month. Sitting here in a thread hitting refresh hoping for vital info about the OTA is a complete waste of time.
You have four options...
1). Wait for the OTA, which will arrive whenever it arrives
2). Frankin Twiz, built on JI6
3). Bionix 1.6, built on JI6
4). leaked unmodified JI6 firmware
Options 2,3,4 will get you JI6 today, with the associated risks of taking the management of the update into your hands. Option 1 is the official option which requires nothing but patience. Decide.
Wonder if I could call T-mobile and naively ask about a GPS problem and see if they will go ahead and push JI6 to me?
Nope nothing in WA I sure hope I won't have to wait til the end of the month....

Ha! You think customer care or tech care have that much power? The people in tmo who do, ssg data, don't take any calls and if they want to, never actually have to talk to the customer at all.

It looks like it bricked my GF's phone also, now im sitting here trying to wipe it. Hers is all stock except it is rooted, no ROMs or lag fixes etc.
I got off the phone with tech support at T Mobile a few hours ago and here is what they related to me. Your inability to get checkin succeeded may or may not be usual or normal, they have no clue and the OTA is scheduled to run from 10-7 thru 10-31. has anyone else or does anyone else have the same inability to get feedback from the checkin code? This is the only phone I have had that the checkin failed to register except for a MT3g which they promptly replaced.
got the update today... no problems so far...
So I went to the sprint store today cuz my battery took a ****. The repair guy was telling everyone not to run the OTA update to 2.2, apparently it's bricking phones and breaking camera. He said Sprint will have their own update in a couple weeks. I lol'd as I walked out with my deodexed rooted EB13...

I'm skeptical that they are still rolling it out in force... My mom and sister have yet to get it. I'm just sitting on dk28 for a bot myself so I'm not sure how eb13 is actually performing... The forum posts don't make me particularly optimistic
i can believe it, it was a ***** for me to update my phone using odin and the eb13 tar, it just would not work, my phones screen kept turning a different color like purple or green then odin would just freeze. Tried another computer and was able to do it using the samsung .exe file and it wiped everything and i thought i was good, running real quick and snappy, but i opened the camera and went to record a video with it and as soon as i hit the button to switch to video i got an error saying the camera has crashed and it kicked me out :/ I thought, according to sprint, that we waited this long so they could iron out the bugs and make sure there was a release that was worth of releasing!
This official release is flawless for me. I did get the orange screen thou with the samsung tool, I just reran it and its 100 % flawless. Recorded vids with no issue.
could this be the EVO curse we were dreading?
Btw. Everyone owes a oppology to noobl. Remember he warned us about the leak dk28 bricking some phones? And some in here claimed the epic is unbrickable? Uhhuuu... Everyone... Form a single line and appologize.
I don't know how to prove that the phone was bricked, but it definitely was. It got stuck at param.lfs (or whatever that file extension is) in odin, so I retried it a few times, next thing I knew it would not turn on. He should be swapping it at the sprint store tommorow I think.

I was on DK28 and since I followed instructions correctly, my phone is still in working condition. HA!
That's misinformation from the store. Here's the deal with the update... Yes, it's still being pushed and all devices should have it by Friday. There have been some reports of issues with the camera and browser force closing but those are resolvable in most cases with a hard reset (sucks I know). I haven't seen any reports of a phone that was truly bricked, although custom roms will be more likely to have issues with the OTA update. I've personally updated 8 of these both OTA and with the Samsung installer and haven't had an issue with any of them after the update.
Currently looking for a custom rom though because I don't like some of the changes that were made. It does feel like the screen is a bit laggy after the update and I hate the new messaging app but overall no performance issues

lol. Me too. I used the 200mb samsung tool. No old odin with modified eb13 deodexed junk. Follow instructions nerds!
I'm not buying it. I know there are isues out there (myself included) but I would think if it was a serious problem we would have people on the forums saying it happened to them by now.
I updated my phone via the Samsung .exe file which I knew would wipe my phone which wasn't a problem for me since I use gmail to keep records of my contacts, call logs / sms (using sms backp+) and etc. So no worries there. I did get a little miffed about losing the apps but that is expected for a phone wipe.
There are few quirks and some changes in the GUI I didn't like. Big issue is the stupid SMS client they had to change so will be looking for a altnative version for it. No big deal but why change something when it works in DI18??
Screen rotation lag is fixable via screen calibration (posted elsewhere in this forums).
Least now the Devs have the source code they should be coming out with some nice ROMs soon. Rumored for Sprint to come out with an update in a couple of weeks? Not worried about it, by then most of us will be on custom ROMs anyway.

flashing kills the balls out of the battery. i have had a fully charged battery die in half an hour running odin multiple times trying things out. id bet almost anything that if you had an external charger to throw your battery in for a bit the phone would boot in to download mode with no problems.
A friend with a xoom has a data problem and took his xoom to a verizon store to try and settle the issue. When he was there the clerk told him that flash was available and installed it for him. I have not seen it to verify it. Anyone else hear of this?

Roughly 3pm PST. My friend is not tech savvy, bought the xoom and is experiencing early adopter syndrome for the first time. He bought the xoom on contract and in 4 days consumed almost 70% of the monthly allowance. He went to the Verizon store to get some sort of explanation. He called me as he was leaving and told me that he was relatively heated and the verizon rep, apparently trying to keep him happy in some way, told him that adobe had updated the flash and released it today, and installed it along with advanced task killer while he was in the store.
I didn't want to try and find out for certain if flash was really installed or if the store is blowing smoke, but I'll check when I see him at work tomorrow. I'm not surprised that a verizon rep installed task killer, but was a bit surprised to him him say they'd installed flash because, aside from what little I've told him about flash, he is not familiar enough with it to repeat what he claims the rep told him. Just wanted to see if anyone else had encountered this information and if it is for real.
lol task killer? bad news. Task killers are terrible. Maybe good if hes a novice and is running all kinds of weird ****. He's better off learning what to do and uninstalling that task killer imho.
Very interesting about the flash update though. Wonder if the verizon guy installed it to make him happy and he shouldnt have?
Get us the .apk for us plz thx
I wonder if this is at all possible that flash is going to be available soon. I turned on my work laptop today and first thing that popped up was an update for Flash to 10.2. If I'm not mistaken, isn't this the version of Flash we are supposed to get for the Xoom?
Yup. 10.2 is the one we're waiting for, though they have never promised simultaneous cross-platform release, AFAIK.
I'm at work now - he should be here shortly and i'll update once I check it out. I agree on the task killer - unneeded bloatware but am very curious to see how flash looks if indeed he did get it instaleed yesterday.

OP, if you've confirmed that this was all bogus, could you please update the title of the thread so as not to give others the wrong impression? Thanks!
I bet the rep install Flash Showcase for him and told him he had Flash 10.2
sales rep are usually less informed than us novice users. when a Verizon retailer told me she had a whole day training on this device, i chuckled. TRAINING lol.... couldnt even tell me how to charge it properly or anything about the android market appearance. The only thing they could help me is setup my google account on my xoom.

I felt the same way about the training Best Buy employees received. They were very exicited about the device and most of them had either played around with one or knew a little about it but none of them received any real training about how to activate them or even how to enter the sale into their system.
It was a very frustrating experience that could have been made better if the employees had been trained better, I don't blame any of the employees they were pleasent and apologetic about not knowing how to do what they needed to do I blame the management that failed to make sure their employees had the information they needed and frankly walked past them all morning as they stumbled around trying to deal with it without even stopping to ask what the issue was.
This one isn't for Android.
Yay. I can confirm the following bugs after using OTA ED01 for a couple hours:
1) 50% time w/o signal bug still there. Still need airplane toggle after boot.
2) Browser scrolling choppy as ever.
3) Pop email client still snaps to top of list after reading each email.
4) battery issues / wakelock needs more testing
Now then, we know Samsung and VZW were not working on fixing any bugs in the last several months that they have been sitting on this code. All bugs from froyo leaks 2.5 months ago are still in there.
Seems to me there was 0 priority put on this update, since it was delivered extremely late and still chock full of bugs. My assessment is Samsung is way understaffed AND integrating bing caused some negative interactions between the companies involved. I won't buy another Samsung... and probably should move off of VZW.

What's a better option in your opinion besides Samsung? Are you more pissed at Samsung or Verizon?

My frustration is primarily with vzw on this... But I've known, or accepted, that one chooses a wireless service provider by asking "who sucks less?".

Weird, I don't use the email client, but I have not experienced any of those issues. My battery does not drain while sleeping (with bt, gps and data all on) everything is smooth as can be. And I have never had to toggle airplane mode. All these bugs I had in dl30 and eb01, but none at all in this release. Also I have had no screen response issues anymore either. Not saying your wrong just posting my experience as well.

Yeah, I have been playing around with it a little, and have found the save thing. No bugs so far.

The only thing that wonders me is new radio. Is is the the same as EC01? It's too soon to ask probably but maybe somebody had missed calls issue with it yet?

We'll have to see how it goes fellow chicagoland resident. I odin'd and ota'd to get the new radio and frameworks and files were compared lastnight and there is some differences in the frameworks between EC01 and ED01 so I'm gonna run themeless until I have time to port my theme over to the new frameworks. Initial impression I have is my data speeds are a little higher and more constant. But I'll give it a go traveling about the city today.
Oh, @OP the tws bug is not limited to our device. It's a froyo thing that many devices suffer from. Google it.
good day.
Everything looks good here... Besides battery life. I just did the ota at 9:30 this morning after about an hour **** has drained 30%. Oh well. I was using heavily, im gonna flash the debloated one and wipe bstats and what not to see if I get some improvement.

If you had display on for an hour 30% drain is normal I think.
I just read the release notes for ed01 posted by kaus... It lists some added bloat, but in many cases contradicts the op of this thread (subject to verification I guess ;-).

My wife and I have this phone. I am running EB01 Superclean and I just odin'd her phone to stock last night and upgraded to OTA ED01. So far, no time without signal bug, browser does not seem choppy, no wakelocks so far. Maybe you should odin to stock and start fresh if you have not done so already. I think that this can fix a lot of issues. No doubt that after brief testing my Superclean w/ -100 imnuts kernel is kicking the snot out of a stock ED01 froyo so far. But I always give it a week for the battery to calibrate and settle so I will report back.
i also have superclean 2.9.2 (nv). i'm not sure if i want to go back to stock and do the official ota because I finally LIKE my phone for the first time since... November? I really liked it for the first month (Oct) when I thought the OTA was due any day... but since then, not so much. but after installing superclean a week or so ago, suddenly i don't care about the ota. unless i hear from one of you more experienced gurus that it's the way to go, that is. I love that I don't have all that bloat on my phone. If i do the ota, I presume the bloat will come with it, and I've heard of people then cleaning up the phone... how is that different from what I already have? should I stay put or is there a distinct advantage to doing the ota and then cleaning it up? any advice and logic behind it would be appreciated. thanks.
Wife and I both have fasc I odin'd her back to stock took ota she so far has not been able to make calls out off and on all day she could answer tho...?? However.. What pisses me off the most is vzw dropping price and trying to sell this to everyone for mothers day like my mom needs this f/%ked up unsupported phone swindled to her."why yes madam this has the very latest software it has always been our best phone and now your kids can make you the coolest mom ever" scam scam scam or should I say spin spin spin the greatest company on the planet can you hear me now.. Ahh no cause my froyo won't make a call

Well maybe you can do the mature thing and call Verizon instead of *****ing about a problem that ONLY you are having. Or maybe you can try factory resetting it.
Don't *****, that only gets you flamed.

I did read, but after that he updated did an OTA. If he already Odined I don't see the pain in doing a reset. Doesn't hurt.
What's up with not being able to download tapatalk either?? I upgraded ota and its still in my purchased list but won't let me install..and when I search it the market doesn't find it.

Has anyone else noticed that you can't delete gmail emails after the update? I delete them and they come right back. This is even with having full 3g service and excellent reception.

Don't worry superclean in my opinion is still better. It has all the great sbrissen mods and its only got a couple very tiny bugs (even though I can't think of one)
Plus all the themes you could ever want AND ec01 themes are fine on super clean... I think I'll just chill with what I got.
