Jelly Bean on Boost Force

[sonicbluemustang]

Just in case the link doesn't work... Find and update the software version on your Sprint Force

Doomed for 4.1
It seems that Sprint has removed the update post from the web site. When u check for updates it no longer lists this newer version. Sprint does not even sell the Force from the store or the web site either. I went into sprint today and no mo Force! This pic you have in this post is the only evidence.

That's probably why they took it down in order to make people stop asking them about the update. If no one sees it, no one believes it. Luckily though I got that screenshot!

they did the same thing with the sequent, they swore it was a "mistake" and gave people the run around. sometimes either boost or zte would flat out say it was gonna happen, sometimes they would flat out try to say no it wont happen, sometimes they would hint one way or the other. boost will tell you nothing, ask zte if you want to bother someone but their info isnt always very reliable. their inter-office communication is horrible. and for those looking for all these great things out of a jellybean update... i hate to be the bearer of bad news but its still coded by zte. be prepared to get a locked down, buggy, stripped version of 4.1.2. its better, but still not what you would get on a more expensive phone. if we get all the bugs out of cm10 use that, not only is it jb its faster, more customizable, and well just all around better

I'm with u on that. I only want to see if there is any new features in the b11 update that would or could be useful. I already know that 4.1 will not run the only keyboard that I like which is the HTC ime mod keybrd and for that reason alone I do not want it. I had a lot of fun playing with my Optimus while back and the dev was great on it.
btw I like the work you have done on the warp. Thanks for contributing to the Force's dev.

There is one way to get 4.1 released. they are advertising it. law suite. this is clearly false advertising.

the only other option is to make them credit me my money back and find out from you guys what phoen i should have gotten? <---- points to question.

 

[donjuro]

That's right, someone may have bought it expecting 4.1 and turns out its not getting it.

 

[birddseedd]

side question... the hard buttons on your force seem to be slightly above the image of the button for you?

 

[donjuro]

I don't understand &#65279;the question.

that someone is me. ya know. i called boost. guy said that its sitll running 4.1, it just says 4.0

shakes head.

they better take this thign back.

 

[donjuro]

I would fight for 4.1, I highly recommend not returning this device.

 

[birddseedd]

I don't understand &#65279;the question.

well. if you press slightly below the icon, it wont press. if you press quite a bit above the icon it will press. seems the icon is printed slightly below the center of the button

It would take thousands to sue the company. It seems pretty clear they have no plans to upgrade the os.

i would have stuck with my evo 3d if the screen wasn't so dang brittle.

 

[donjuro]

Well, a port of cm10 is being worked on. I recommend you stick around for it. The performance is superb.

I may need a new one anyway. the speakerphone seems to buz when i'm on a call. even if my gps inturupts and is louder, it doesnt buz.

and i'm not sure my buttons are correct. seems i have to press above the icon for the button to work.

there a thread for that thur rom?

 

[donjuro]

there a thread for that thur rom?

It's in the all things root forum towards the top, the Roms not complete, it's still in development/testing phase.

Maybe re-calibrate screen.

 

[birddseedd]

Maybe re-calibrate screen.

can you guide me to where that is done at?

for reference, both boost and zte are known for lieing like that. not necessarily because they just want you to shut up though in this case that is the only explaination, mostly just because they have no idea what theyre talking about. the people on the phones dont know what theyre doing so there is usually little point in trying to talk to them unless you know exactly what youre asking and exactly what answer youre looking for, you gotta get to the right person to get the right info and that is ridiculously difficult, achmed(aka dave) does not have the answers you seek lol you have to go over his head. i can tell you this though its the exact same routine they pulled on the sequent and we DID get the jellybean B11 update it just took a little while, they did the false promises on boosts site, hinting at it, even occasionally gave us good info if we bugged the right people at zte enough but boost knows nothing and even if they did they wouldnt tell us

 

[birddseedd]

Does anyone else have the issue of the speaker phone buzzing when you are on phone calls?

also. any idea why i cant sync data from an app called trip log with this phone? works great on my wifes evo 3d. but just does nothign on this one. talked with the creator he doesnt know why.

Honestly I think all ZTE phones have crap speakers. I've owned this and the warp sequent. Had to send both of them to ZTE to fix blown speakers.

Did it get fixed? i can still send this one back and order a new one

 

[redjama]

Yea they fixed both of them. They have no choice as long as it's still under factory warranty.

I just got on boost, sprint, and ZTE's case in one email. The reply is coming in tonight. I'll post the message then
