Ok, I have been an official owner of this masterpiece since January 6, 2010.. Lol, Stayed up partying that Sunday night.. Never went to sleep.. Sobered right up when I saw the Press release.. Bought it 5 Minutes after the site finally came up after refreshing every 15 seconds.. Whew..
Now, here I stand.. Ready to embark back home to VZW and I have about 5 months left of my account being put on hold.. So no rush.. But.. i see the HTC Desire is coming.. I know I already run A10 from Modaco but I kinda Like the Hardware not for nothing.. So, can Nexus Roms be back-ported to this device since we initially ported it over to us.. In so, is it coming to VZW along with att/t-mobile, Any word.. I know the Legend is going to Sprint, Which i am getting for my Father in law, I last got him a Tour..
I am also seeing that the Nexus comes out for Verizon March 23rd, a pretty solid Google Employee spilled the beans.. So another option could be to Continue to Sell this Nexus and transfer to that.. Then load Modacos Sense Ui CDMA Rom (When Available)... So I guess I ask if Devs, PPL, Gurus, can help here.. I gather and prob 90% assure myself i'm not the Only one in for this... So I guess Keep the thread alive.. Maybe it'll stay here with ideas, workarounds, additions, dev requests with links and etc.. Hopefully until and while these FUTURE devices arrive..
Thanks Guys.
Hope You Guys Liked My Vids... Gonna Make More when More Desire Updates arrive..
I think my head exploded trying to understand what your question was lol

Just wondering, since it says you are in New Jersey, is english your first language?
So what are you saying like.. you want a Desire?

we all know that motorola keep ignoring us on the EU side on the xoom.
forget the 3.1 update for the moment. we don't even have a stock rom to restore yet.
wondering will it be better if we get a petition going to google so that google can give motorola some pressure to give us more attention? maybe on the 3.1 updates?

If you set one up, I'll sign it.
This is my first Motorola for a very long time (said I wouldnt by from them again after discovering the build quailty of their phones years ago), I would not have brought it if I have known this would be the situation.
I may yet ditch it for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 when it comes out, unless this get sorted. Its very poor, I've had my Galaxy S2 for two weeks and its already have two firmware updates and has had a recovery rom from day 1.
sure, i would love to setup one up, but unless there is a big amount of ppl "liking" it, i don't think it will help.
i will set one up anyway and update the post later.

Hello everyone, I have read that Acer has said they would be updating the Iconia A500 to ICS in mid January. I am not sure how reliable this is, but my questions would be, should I root now, or wait for the OTA update for ICS from Acer. Any thoughts would be great!

Should you breath now? That's a loaded question, because, whether you root now, or wait till ICS, bottom line is that the bootloader will be changed.
If you believe 1 site that says ICS will come next month, Then your face will be blue. Or maybe purple.
But hey, they could release a whole new ICS, and current methods will be crap. And when you decide to update to ICS, your root will be crap also. And 99% this will happen. Anybody remember 3.2???
Look, you can sit on your hindquarters, and wait. Or, you can root and recovery, And play around with the ASOP ICS roms. And get a little experience in doing things.
Or you can wait, and then say WTF???? when you take your OTA, and the bottom drops out of things.
Your choice. Come to the dark side....
Realistically, we probably won't see ICS on the Iconia until second quarter..I would take Moscow's advice. Get into the game now, learn a bit about the tab and ALL the features it has to offer, so when ICS drops you'll be truly ready.
Agreed, you might not see ICS at all. It breaks too many things pushing it OTA and because of support issues many MFG's are not going to make ICS available OTA. Now I know the marketing engines of each MFG are saying they'll have it, stay loyal to the brand, give me your money etc.
Bottom-line, ICS is a major OS change so look for MFG's to only make it available on NEW devices. Of course they may make a tool to load it at your own risk or someone else will make it. But I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for ICS from ACER on anything they've already sold you and got already paid for (no upside). Follow the money, which will be on new sales.

These guys have some good advice. Chances are the Devs will have ICS working before Acer does anyway, so you would need to be rooted to install that LOL
hummmmm. do you need root????
Thee are reasons why people root there tablet.
If you are OK with waiting even another day or two.
Ask yourself why root my tablet.don't do it just to hang out with the big kids.
Do it because you need something it brings.with that said im guessing you have no business or reason to root your device.
Good luck in what ever you decide what do I know im just a silly girl.
Thanks for the replies, I planned on Rooting, just wasn't sure if I would wait till the possible ICS update? But all the post make sense, so I will probably just root in the next day or two! Thanks
Ive been waiting a month or so for the dev edition to come off backorder long enough to buy it. should I keep waiting or is the vzw version good enough with ss?

I'd hold off and check out the S5 to see what it's bringing to the table... me personally. .. I'm just about over the b.s. that we get from locked bootloaders
Depends on what you want. If you are satisfied with touchwiz ROMs and stock kernel then retail version is fine. If you want CyanogenMod and/or custom kernel then you will need to find a DE. Have been a couple on Swappa and eBay.
Yeah im good with safestap. As long as I can run beans for the next year ill be good. Lte gets pretty tapped out in my area sometimes. So im hoping aws helps with that.
I try to check for updates about once a week, both here and at the t-mobile update page (https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates). As I'm sure you all know, as of today (06-22-2016), the note 4, note edge, and tab s2 are the only ones without an update. So today, I contacted t-mobile's chat support to see if they could offer any more information. Here is the transcript in its entirety. My initial question isn't there because I asked it when initiating the chat session, but it asked when the update would be available, since the rest of the samsung devices had been updated except for the three, and since other carriers had updated it as well:

[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : Hi Dow! [/FONT]
[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : I'm currently pulling up your account to further assist you about your concern. One moment please. [/FONT]
[FONT="]You[/FONT][FONT="] : Thanks. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : Just to verify, can you please provide me your Account number please? [/FONT]
[FONT="]You[/FONT][FONT="] : Acct or phone? Phone is XXXXXXXXXX[/FONT]

[FONT="]You[/FONT][FONT="] : Acct. is [FONT="]XXXXXXXXX[/FONT] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : Upon checking here in my end, the last version for the Note 4 is the Android version 5.1.1. So far there are still no updates about the OS of Samsung Note 4. No worries, once the update is available, you will receive notification about it. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : Aside from this matter, are there anything else I can help you with? [/FONT]
[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : I would be happy to assist you today; however, I'm afraid that if I don't hear from you, I will not be able to keep this chat open. [/FONT]
[FONT="]You[/FONT][FONT="] : Yeah, I'm aware of that, Aldrin. I'm just wondering if you could hunt around and see if anybody has a better guess than "someday." Your own update page ([/FONT][FONT="]https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle[/FONT][FONT="]) shows it still being under Manufacturer development. [/FONT]
[FONT="]You[/FONT][FONT="] : however, the rest of the Samsung devices, with the exception of the note 4, note edge, and tab s2 have been at the completed stage for over a month. Also the other carriers have already pushed out their note 4 updates, as can be attested to by a friend of mine with Sprint, and another with ATT. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : Actually, I have already encountered customers like you who wants to have the update on their Samsung Note 4. I really do apologize for the inconvenience. So far, we have no words yet from Samsung. But rest assured that once the update is available, you'll receive notification for it. [/FONT]
[FONT="]You[/FONT][FONT="] : Okay. Thanks for checking. Have a nice afternoon, Aldrin. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : You too, Dow! Don't worry, I'll raise this issue up for you. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : Thank you for contacting T-Mobile! This is Aldrin, have a great day [/FONT]
[FONT="]You[/FONT][FONT="] : Thanks! That'd be great. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Aldrin B[/FONT][FONT="] : Anything for our valued customer!

No one, anywhere, at T-Mobile or otherwise, will have, give, or offer this answer to you, or anyone else.
Chat reps will only give you the company line, as that is all that they have.
We all simply have to be patient.

You should ask them why they changed the status (over the weekend) from phase 2 which is Tmobile testing, back to phase 1... that is whats strange to me.

Perhaps they added the June patch and had to retest? Or they're just being dicks and are trying to get us all excited for nothing.

Ha yea I would put money on them being dicks just for the hell of it..I'm can't even get upgrades because I'm unlocked using straight talk att sim. I'm just pissed because it has brought development to a hault and I only use Tekhd....and he ain't gonna release the MM rom until T mobile does....and honestly I agree with him on that aspect because if I was him I would wait too. Just so it wouldn't be half ass...I have tried almost every single mm rom but without a kernel source for a decent kernel it's too much of a hassle to even try to run them....

They didn't. It's always been in Manufacturer Development. I check daily.

This is correct. It has not changed. It's amazing how these rumors get started.
I have a bad BL on my Note 4, so the update means perhaps even more to me. Still. I must wait, like everyone else.
It'll probably come soon... I just switched to a custom ROM, now they'll push MM just to screw with me.
It won't surprise if they never release it for the Note 4. A lot of Note 4s had the Emmc read failure after updating to 5.1.1. Releasing MM will surely wreak havoc to Note 4 owners.

I moved back to CM12. Even though there is basically zero development on 12.1, the nightlies are stable as hell (more than I can say for DOK2). They're basically weeklies or bi-weeklies now which is nice. Don't have to flash as often, still get regular fixes, and the monthly security updates.

I bounce back and forth between CMRemix and Resurrection Remix; once you go Marshmallow it's hard to go back.
Back on point, I've heard conflicting arguments about who's holding up MM on Note4, Samsung or TMO. I'm inclined to think it's TMO, but I'm not 100% sure. My understanding is that Sammy gives the carriers the Sammified version of the OS, then the carriers add their frosting to it before shipping it out. I've also heard that the carriers give Sammy their requirements, and Sammy then delivers a fully-baked product ready for delivery. Any one know which is true?

It should be the latter. I don't think T-Mobile has enough dev resources to modify ROMs. But I still blame T-Mobile because they have too many requirements. For example, Bluetooth tethering is disabled; mobile hotspot has its own branding; etc.
The previous T-Mobile phone I owned was LG G2x. I still remember how terrible the update story was. Now I am going through the same crap again. I've had enough, will never buy a carrier branded phone again.
It'll get here when it gets here... then we'll have 20 threads about how bad MM messed with my perfectly working Note 4!
I called Tmo last week and asked about MM update, they blamed Sammy, so I called Sammy and they said they have released MM to the Carriers months ago and it was stable on N4. I called Tmo back and pushed to get a real explanation. A tech person got on the phone and told me that when they released MM to S5 (same generation) they had nothing but problems and it shut down many of the S5 phones. And so, long story short, they are allegedly working on the bugs so as to not have the same problems with N4. However, with N7 coming out in August, I think they are hoping that people just go ahead and upgrade to N7. But I don't believe that they can just NOT update N4 to MM so they will have to deal with it. But I told Tmo that they should just allow the Devs at XDA to deal with the problems as they Devs here seem to be better at working out the bugs and of course, we would have had the update months ago.
As for the Note 7 (they are skipping Note 6), the leaks reveal that it is simply a S7edge updated with a stylus, a little more ram and a hair faster processor, a sealed battery but with sd card slot.... and at a price of over $900... I say, no thanks. I think I will stay with my N4 or jump ship on Samsung products. There are some really good phones available now that are going to give Sammy a run for their money. We shall see how it unfolds.
Yep, MM will brick a lot of phones.

I've tried every custom MM Rom for N4, all of them have bluetooth issues which is a deal breaker for me. I use my headset daily to listen to music and podcasts, and having a phone randomly tell me the bluetooth share has crashed several times a day is just too much. Best luck I've had in terms of stability and battery life has been the debloated DOK2 rom. I've also noticed GPS is hit and miss with basically all custom Roms.
I have to agree with the notion that Tmo is holding update as strategy to promote sales of n7 since they have track record of doing just that. We have to remember, all of these excuses are nullified by the fact that other Tmo phones, including n5, have already been given update.
That being said, it is not totally out of the realm of possibly that they completely deny this phone an update to MM. This occurred with the n2, which was completely denied it's 3rd (final update) despite promises by Tmo.
Point being: Business is a contact sport. So unless we are willing to protest with our purchasing power, companies, like Tmo, will continue to trample on consumer rights and avoid ethical responsibility.

Same here. Don't like sealed batteries, don't like edge displays, don't like glass backs, and since I have a toddler who's favorite game is "hide the remote", I've gotten quite fond of the IR blaster. The N4 is a workhorse, and it looks like I'll be riding it into the ground.
...Nine Hundred Dollars?
Personally I'm not worried about it. The MM update will probably open a can of worms. Since they updated LP to 5.1.1 it's running pretty sweet. I like the N5 ported 5.1.1 custom rom I have. Everything works. Viper4Android works. If Viper doesn't work on the MM update that will be a fatal flaw. They should take the time to make it work right before they release it.
