GB Update rolling out now for CDMA Razr

[rushmore]

Installing now. This could be a bridge so the ICS update is smoother

Update:

Unfroze apps first with Titanium before updating

Took about twenty minutes from download to restart.

Went smoothly

Already had root saved with Voodoo and restored with no problem

Refroze apps

Seems to be working well. Key for me is the data drops, so wonder if fixed.....

Just installed.

Updated title to include that this is for CDMA razr and not the GSM razr. :thumbup:

Just pulled it down. Will play around with it later to see if there are any noticeable changes, or any broken parts.

Supposedly the battery life is improved with this build. I am wondering if this means no ICS for awhile.. why would they bother updating an OS if a whole new OS is right around the corner. Just hope they dont pull the plug for ICS entirely on us...

They're NOT GOING TO DO THAT. We will get ICS. Probably within a a couple months.

Sadly, the data drops are still around, so the update did not fix that. Not even sure if there was a radio update, but no fixy in this update. Can it even be fixed?..........

Kudos to you sir for unfreezing your apps. and not deleting them and then not being able to do the update. That is one of the biggest issues with people that have rooted, they delete bloat or forgot they renamed it then bam .....can't take the update. I always recommend using TiBu to freeze instead.

Agreed. MY original timeline guess was June/July and i'm still thinking that is the case.

I never uninstall apps for that reason. Makes no sense uninstalling, since only saving thirty megs or less of space. Not a very good risk versus reward condition.

I forgot to thaw my frozen apps but the update didn't seem to mind. Updated without incident. Re-rooted with Voodoo, all is good.

Battery life does seem to be improved. Been off the charger for about 7 hours with moderate use, battery is reading 70%.

I rarely get data drops... Just updated and my data has been going absolutely nuts with dropping. WTH

 

[Adauth]

No data problems in my neck of the woods. *crossesfingers*

 

[thedrizl]

No data drops here.

I got the update about 5 days ago. I know it is "supposed" to increase battery life but in my case it has been the opposite. I have noticed a much faster than normal battery drain after the update. I haven't been using it any more than I usually do. Normally at this point in the day I'd be at about 50 - 55% but the last few days I've been down to 15% or so. Not looking very promising.

 

[Matesims23]

When I saw update I thought it was ICS and got excited... letdown

 

[executor485]

Noticing my battery life is HORRIBLE with this update :S

 

[Matesims23]

Yeah its even killing me with juice defender on too... 2 hours and down 10% already

Still haven't gotten the update and don't really care if i do lol. However i did notice the new battery drain a few days ago and found out what it was. Long story short think something is going on with the motorola updater as this is getting pushed out.

Being rooted i have never had a problem making it through the whole day on a single charge with my phone. However a few days ago i noticed my phone would be at 15% right as i got off of work. Checked to see what my battery was doing and noticed something i had never seen before eating up 39% of it. Motorola Services.

So i watched it the next day and even if it was only showing 6% battery usage at the time it still took a ton of power. Mainly because it was keeping my phone in full awake status all day. So i think it's trying to grab the update but something isn't going right or it's not ready in my area yet.

Either way i went into Ti, noticed that these new Motorola Services icons now showed up (never seen them before) and froze them all (were like 5 of them). Needless to say phone runs great again and haven't had a problem sense.

Where it comes to your recommendation to un-freeze apps, I've just plain never allowed the bloat ware to update itself on the Market. To date my Razr still will not let me pull down the OTA to .181. Yes, I am rooted but I haven't wiped anything off of it nor am I using any custom ROM. Should I allow bloatware to update then try the OTA? Suggestions otherwise?

Just to make sure, you're hitting Menu>about phone>system updates, and it tells you "system up to date" or some such?
If so, don't worry about it yet. Give it a day or two. The bloatware has nothing to do with that. If that was the problem you could download the update just fine, but then it would fail to install after you run it.

And you're honestly not missing much anyways.

 

[FussBoss]

I just got an update on my phone....


..... to .181


:dong:

 

[ffeatccn]

When I go to the option for system updates it tells me "Check for update is not available at this time." In the past it has told me that I was up to date but lately it only says the above message. Is that normal?
