Software update?

Yeah but im pretty sure boost would okay an ics update but again WE ARE NOT GETTING ICS PEOPLE if the prevail hasnt seen it its clear we wont

The prevail wont see ICS ever, ICS doesn't support the CPU straight out of the gate without heavy modifications to the kernel and OS alike. And even still it doesn't work right or very rarely starts up.

There are only two phones that could possibly get an ICS update and that's the Samsung transform ultra and the ZTE Warp. And of the two the warp would have the best chances at getting ICS as it is a top end device for ZTE, atleast if they wanted a continued customer base. As for Samsung they have plenty of other devices to focus their efforts on.

EDIT: Forgot the LG Marquee it has a greater chance then the Transform Ultra to get ICS so its a chance between the LG and Warp

Thread has been cleaned. Please remember that there is no point fighting with one another. No one here has any control over the situation and we are a COMMUNITY striving for the best and that the fighting and name calling and mud slinging doesn't do anyone any good and just hurts the community as a whole.

Please keep this in mind in future posts. :)

Dropping the smack down lol

not sure why people are so negative on here, but i guess that is just human behavior.

boost updated the prevail to gingerbread a couple months after they released their first gingerbread phone, so people saying boost never gets updates are being ignorant.

my warp runs perfectly fine as well, it very rarely freezes or even has apps force close. im thinking people are messing up more than they are improving by rooting their phones and changing things seeing as most of the complaints in this thread are coming from people who have rooted their phones.


that being said, i am also waiting to see what the update is and just came to this forum to see if there was any information on it.

You where right Bren, boost admitted on there Facebook page that they have no control period over updates so if ZTE decides on ICS then the warp will get ICS


Yep. :) I caught on to the FACT that Boost does not control updates back when the Prevail got updated. Boost had not been informed and could not stop it or alter it....and believe me they wanted to when people had issues due to even more memory lost due to the update to a phone that stock has a minimum of internal storage as it is.

Actually Boost didn't update the Prevail...Samsung did. :) Just sayin' :) But I get your point about Boost phones having a chance at updates as well. :)

I thought watchdog was to monitor your 3g/4g usage?never new it had setting to close apps that misbehave.
it doesn't let you close them it monitors running apps to control them if they start eating to much CPU it will close them and im not refering to 3G watchdog im referring to watchdog task manager :D hope that clarifies that for you justtom
