I don't know about the entire EP1W but I have put just the radios in and it is much improved.

 

I am still basically on stock EE4

Dear DC5,

 

Not really, I am afraid.  Verizon lists 21 new and refurbished phones running the Android platform.  Of these only two (Bionic and Xperia) are available today with Android 2.3, and the Droid 3 will be availabe September 16 with 2.3.

 

Having said that, I hope that the next OTA will be for 2.3.x for the Charge and will come soon.  There are a lot of other Android Verizon phone users out there who are also waiting for this update, and many of them bought their phones well before the Charge was even available on Verizon.  If they take these user groups in order of phone release, we may have to wait a little longer than a few days.

Plenty of phones have a version of GB

Dear LOUcifer,

As I said in my post in this thread on 9.9, I was corrected in my mistake as to how many phones have 2.3.x. I was relying on the description of each phone on the VZW website, whereas there was more current information about current available OS version on the support portion of the site for each of the phones.

Just got an early SDK dev tool sample for 4.0.  From what I can see, it is a rehashed honeycomb with a much cleaner UI, and much more customizable, but the question is, will manufacturers leave it hat way or lock it.

 

THe nice thing is it really closes, flushes and manages memory much more efficient. At least if forced bloatware isn't todl to open every 6 seconds.

Houston,

 

Any idea if they are just planning on pushing ICS to the Charge rather than updating it to GB then? Is this why it is taking so long for this update to get to our phones? I know you said that they were finished with ep1w and past ep1y, and onto ep2....any word from anyone if they just might skip GB and roll out ICS since it is supposed to be out soon anyways?

While nobody knows anything for sure until it happens, it is extremely unlikely that they would skip GB for ICS.  You just aren't going to see a major carrier roll in a newly-released OS.  There is far too much risk; they need to wait for the bugs to get squashed in the OS before they even think about building a ROM for a specific device.  

 

Momemtum seems to be moving towards an OTA release of GB before the month is out.

4.0 is an sdk default only in alpha , it is not carrier specific, does not contain radio drivers and other aspects, basically it is a test platform. However I personally do not like it and will stick with gingerbread. If 4.0 rolls out it will be some time. Samsung is pushing 2.3.4 on all their supproted devices first. Don't eexpect any offcial 4.0 phones or builds until well into 2012. The current sdk's are quarky as sin.

 

 

2.3.4 is slated for "FALL" 2011. Still no official OTA release date, even tho it is ready and complete from samsungs side.

P3Droid is a developer and said there is no such thing as EP1Y or EP2 as HoustonHeart stated.

From what I've heard there is one version past ep1w....i guess someone had a brief combo with p3 the other day on twitter and he said they blew past ep1w and that ep1w is not the official release version anymore.

Samsung is now prepping testers (external) for another update for 3 phones. Looks like 2.3.5 presumed , 2.3.4 will still be released prior, sicne the later is actually an update to it.

 

THey won't be doign IC since it isn't ready fully on google's side, and the early SDK's are not impressive enough.

 

THat would be a future thing probably by a 4.1 build.
