Beyond 2.2 EE19

[kmf]

Does anyone have any news regarding whether the mesmerize will be receiving any major system updates beyond 2.2.1 EE19?

Yes. I spoke to USCC tech support last week. I wanted to make sure I added my complaint about the signal strength drop to their list.

They are aware of the issue with signal strength, and they confirmed that they have another update in the works. Signal strength is one of the fixes in this update.

As usual, I could not get a time frame for release from the rep.

My two biggest grips are in regards to the 3G going dormant when it should be in use and the battery life. Was there any mention of either of those issues?

Also, in response to the OP, I believe that there is a Gingerbread release in the works. I know that there is a bootlegged version of GB that was originally designed for either the Showcase or the Fascinate that has been modified for the Mez.

The 3G issue is wrapped up in the overall signal strength issue. Battery life I am fairly certain won't have anything significant. They strapped a 1500 mah battery to a 4" display. Basically, they put a motorcycle gas tank on a 12 cylinder race engine.

I called USCellular on 8/10, to make sure to get my complaint in aboiut my signal strength. The tech was very vague. And did not have much to say about any update or that there are any issues in regards to signal strength. Anyways after a 40 minute conversation with him, it has been noted and he is supposed to get back to me next week. We will see what he comes up with. Granted I have not had any lost calls, just 1 to no bars of signal. It should be better than that in my area.
It's too bad that these techs are not all on the same page...
