GRJ90 Update info 7/25/11

Don't take what Sprint is saying about pushing the update through, I've gotten that answer too.. then found out that Sprint isn't the one pushing the update through.. it's Google doing the update. Sprint just stopped it from happening.
 
That's the real problem.. Spring and Google don't say to much about anything.. they should be posting something about the update.. it's held up.. it's coming on xx date.. something.. but nothing..
 
Someone explain how an OTA update can even work on a "mobile" device that can not connect to the network to save it's life... just pathetic.
 
I'm actually not having that much of a problem, of then the 4g.. not really being 4g.. and the wifi.. is ok.. as long as I just connect. Once the phone goes to sleep.. and wakes back up.. it loses the connection.. I have to delete the wifi connection.. then redo it.
 
Phone was great for a week or 2 then all of a sudden I'm lucky to have 1 bar of signal... 3G, 4G or wifi (and I bought an airrave for the house). Not much 4G in my area but at this point you can't even call this P.O.S. a mobile phone... more like a fancy mp3 player!

called a tech at a service center he says it's been cancelled
 
after being back with Sprint for a month i have decide that i made the wrong decision in switching from Verizon, even for the NS4G. i should have just stayed with Verizon & waited for the Bionic bkuz this is ridiculous! smh
 
we all know that it was cancelled on the 11th.. and it was suppose to be pushed out on the 18th.. now no one knows what's happening.. they guys at Sprint.. know nothing.. on what's happening with the update
 
I just got my phone and I am on GRJ22 .. should I update my phone using this process?

I didn't, just posted that to show how far off the communication is within Sprint on this update let alone the communication between Google, Sprint, and Samsuck
 
i used to work at the Sprint call center in KC & i talked to someone who currently still works in the tech department there...he basically said that Sprint is waiting on Samsung to push the update through...which i took as they have no idea when it will happen. gave me some company line about an error on Samsungs end...quite annoying!

lol why are you surprised ... I am sure you gave those crappy answers all the time while you worked there :p
 
Do you think that this update will prevent the 3G tether feature?

And are the connection issues with this phone primarily related only to 4g?

Thanks!
 
The issues are not just 4G... my ns4g will barely connect to a 3G, 4G or wifi signal. And even when it does my bars are white instead of green 90% of the time and data is pathetically slow if not totally broke.
