pre release droids get left out of update

[Theibault]

They push them out in phases. I think about 10k at a time. Be patient. It'll show. I don't have mine either.

What's weird is that some pre launch phones got the .516 update a couple weeks ago. My phone wasn't ever turned on till the 13th but you think they would've left the .516 update up for us.

Are you on a pre launch phone? Also have you tried manually checking for updates?

Mine was activated on the 1st and I never got an update either.

Getting some lunch then heading over to Verizon.

 

[Vihzel]

I think it was perhaps they never expected any owners to have the .514 since it wasn't meant for us?

 

[droidxterp]

I was pre release and got mine a week ago 1.13.604

I have a launch day phone with 516. Still have not received the OTA update yet. Im not gonna worry for at least a few days. Maybe they're just rolling them out in batches.

Im glad i got the update. If i didn't id be going freeking crazy right now.

I was able to get Verizon to replace my pre-release phone, once they get more Xs in they are sending one out to me.

Hopefully the Verizon rep will be able to hook me up as well.

Btw my Verizon store told me to just wait as they are pushing out the update to about 2000 phones a day.

He did say there was a way to manually force the update and told me to google it. Not sure what to think of that.

Think Ill try my luck with getting a replacement by Verizon. Im not in any real rush. The signal does suck with my phone though and the battery not reading correctly is annoying. Oh well!

Well was freaking out too!! and just got my update just now!! its downloading as we speak... so maybe its on the way!

I have a pre-released droid (designate #7), and I could download the update last night, around 10pm is when I checked. I still haven't updated yet but I plan to soon.

They aren't morons, you just don't know how to use your phone. Did you even attempt to go to ->Settings ->About Phone ->System Updates and search for an update? Probably not. Don't complain about things when its your own ignorance that caused something. People can't hold your hand and spoon feed you technology.

damstr is pretty savvy and if he says he doesn't have the update available, then you can be sure he doesn't. Maybe you should read a few more posts before you start attacking and being ugly to folks?

Can you check your software version for me if you don't mind? Im curius to see if it's .514 or .516.

Thanks

Haha thanks.

Yeah I rooted my old Droid and did all sorts of stuff with it. If I cant figure out how to manually check for updates then there is something wrong with me.

So nvm, even though I got it early, it has 516.

Those devices given during the Scavenger hunt are more than likely retail devices (considering the contest started about a week from the phone's release). Considering the X's press event was around June 23, and a batch of devices were to be made available before it's launch, the date of manufacturing must be different.

That makes no sense. You didn't buy the Droid X from Verizon, why would they send you a replacement? They won't warranty something you didn't buy from them.

That's like buying something defective from Walmart then getting it exchanged at Best Buy.

Because they want to keep customers I guess. Them doing this for me means a lot. More then I'd ever expect AT&T to do for me.

Verizon ftw.

You should think of it this way. If you buy a Ford truck for example you can get it serviced at ANY Ford dealership even though the dealerships aren't owned by Ford per say.

Also if somehow entered a contest and won a Ford truck for free wouldn't it come with a warranty? Just saying...

But when you buy a pre-release phone through a third party source (ie. eBay) that's the risk you take to be one of the first to have it. Now you expect Verizon to take the loss? Just doesn't seem right IMO.

So return it to Motorola, as they are the manufacturer.

Where is the ignore button...

Well I know if you buy something at bestbuy or target, walmart usually takes it back.
