This store has a display Razr Maxx with firmware version
6.12.799.XT912.Verizon.en.US
How do I get that? the settings button is on the right side instead of the left side like "current" version does 6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US
Is Verizon just really this strange with Firmware updates?
To no surprise I got the most ridiculous answer from the store employees that have absolutely no knowledge of anything beyond their POS (POINT OF SALE, not what you were thinking) cash register.
Anyhow know where to get this update?
if its not ICS then no one really cares too much about which version it is.
Any chance of you going back and snapping a pic? It's not that I don't believe you, but.... Okay that's exactly what it is. J/k.... But seriously, any chance of a pic?

I feel ripped off. I bought what was supposed to a "new" Maxx. Says there is no update available...
My build date is Dec 28th.. I'm writing my Senator.
This is all really interesting. What does it say for the kernel version.

I just read it was an update I got from another site. You would have to do it.
if you cover your body in peanut butter and honey and howl at the full moon on the 31 of this month while holding your phone you will be granted the ics update to your phone.

I don't know? Before you buy it though, check their display model. It has newer firmware .799 etc.
They give THE weakest excuses for why we don't have/get firmware updates though. Even Sprint made up some better ****. lol

My wife's new (refurb) SGII is arriving today. If the phone arrives with 2.3.4, is there any way to block or refuse the 2.3.6 update? I assume it is recommended to stay with 2.3.4 if possible? I do not wish to root.
I just got my refurb the other day and it came with 2.3.6. Yours will probly be the same.

From what I have read. I would block it, especially if you are not looking to root. I have also heard that it may update on its own, so you may only be able to block for so long.

The on-line sale price for a new Samsung Galaxy S II is now $9.99. I just bought mine last week at $99.99 so I called AT&T and they credited my account. Great deal at $9.99!
Damn. What's funny I got tired of my Backflip and added a second line for my fiance and took the GS2 and gave her the flip. Go figure my actual contract just ended and I could've gotten a new one if I waited a month!

If yours comes with 2.3.6, you can always flash 2.3.4 if you want. There should be no negative side effects.
You can prevent the OTA update by deleting the download manager, but of course you need to be rooted first. You could always root, delete it, and then unroot.
What is your reason for not wanting to root?
i got my refurb yesterday and it came with 2.3.6 already. what exactly is the problem with having it? i was able to root and install a custom ROM pretty easily. i had 2.3.6 on my atrix too before i switched.
2.3.6 had some serious wi-fi/battery drain bugs..

Nothing wrong with 2.3.6 in general - but the AT&T UCKK6 build for I777 is AWFUL. It has some major power management issues.
Later I9100 2.3.6 builds, like XWKL1 and XWLA4, are much better.
I monitor my battery drain pretty closely. I get the same per hour battery drain with 2.3.6 (UCKK6) and 2.3.4 when My location is not enabled. 2.3.6. is slightly better battery-wise when I have My location turned on. Plus, 2.3.6 has a few fixes and improvements.
Holy ****! $10 is a great deal. Got mine during the $50 sale at Radioshack on Black Friday. if you get the 'package' deal its only $0.01. Everyone tell your friends!
Trying to convince Mrs Slavestate to get one instead of waiting for the iJoke 5 this summer but after our experience with the Motorola Backflip she hates Android now haha.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet. That's how World War II was started.
It's 5:30am on the West Coast and 8:30a on the East. Lazy suits that make millions don't do Jack before 12pm.
Give it time.
I bet that there will be no ics today :-D
Don't we typically see some sort of "whats in this release" document from Verizon before any updates. I remember seeing them on all the updates even the last minor one.

The update is coming very soon. An ICS update has been leaked. There are multiple people posting that they received soak test invites. None have posted that it has started. The update will come a few days after the soak test starts if there are no major issues. I would be surprised if it was more than a few weeks.

From what I understand the soak test was pulled do to a problem with the sideloading. They have to fix that issue before the soak testers can even test it. So who knows when we will get it now.

Sorry but I call BS. I doubt Verizon does phased rollouts based on ESN assigned to where you bought the phone. The overhead and expense of doing that is astronomical.
That and you have nothing to back it up besides wishy washy logic.
So everything online (which, as everyone knows, is NEVER wrong) says that the Droid Fighter will come out April 12. Any news on this device? I know its suppose to be basically a RAZR MAXX with an HD screen, but any more hardware specs? I have a Galaxy Nexus now and its just not doing it for me. My wife has a RAZR and its much more fluid in operation. And its had 3 (or soon 3) updates and the 'Pure' google device had 1 (official) on release day. Last night at dinner at a fine Italian restaurant (Olive Garden...Woohoo!) her phone was pulling 3 bars on 4G, while mine was bouncing between 1 bar 3G and 1X. Not even a reboot helped. I actually have unofficial ICS 4.0.4 on it with updated radio's, but as you can see, it still sucks.

Sorry for your troubles, but I did get a chuckle from this.
I'm waiting for this too. The leaked picture shows April 12 release date. Most people seem to think it is an announcement or training day for the employees. I think it WILL come out on the 12th as the four other devices in the picture are already out and were released on the days pictured on the leak.
No news so close is a little discouraging though.

I just hope its more than just another skinned RAZR with just a better screen. I want something next gen. But yes, with 'launch' possible happening in a mere 3 days, I would have thought someone somewhere would have had something to say about it.

Welcome to my world. Bought the RAZR on release day. Few weeks later the white one came out. Few weeks after that the MAXX came out.
I wish all the people that had the Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX could trade up for a fee. I would do it in a heartbeat.
I know about the phone and I even got to see one. ( I know a guy who works for the big red.) It will be bigger than you think.

Looking forward to this. I got my Razr Maxx last Tuesday. I have till the 17th for a full refund and May 1 for an exchange. Hopefully it'll work with the Razr Maxx vehicle dock and have a microSDHC(XC) slot.
I hope they will give me one on 4/11/2012 for all the crap I have had to deal with.
When I got to see it, I think it has a 1.5Ghz cpu, but I don't know if it is OC TI or S4.( Good day I hope it's a S4.)
It will be bigger than the Gneuxs, but I did not do and side by side or really get to use it so I don't know all that much. I wish I could have held it and benched that son of a gun.
Just a little research found these specs...
Motorola DROID Fighter specs:
1.8 GHz OMAP4470

You're comparing the average iPhone users to the most informed Android users. The average Android user has never even heard of Ice Cream Sandwich.
I do think it is ridiculous that the RAZR was advertised as "ICS upgradeable," and six months later there is still no official date set for release. I don't understand how Motorola even got away with advertising the phone that way. They should have said "Gingerbread, with the possibility that before your contract is up in two years there may be an update to ICS."
I've got ICS. It's amazing.
but I'm stuck like a fat kid in a tight hallway.

Ummm... all signs point to ICS this month. 3 or 4 weeks out.
And to all who are claiming they'll sell their phones, I'll give the same response I did over in the Acer Iconia A500 section... WHY would you buy a phone you were unhappy with? Did you really buy it to just sit there in agony until ICS was released? Suffer horribly under Gingerbread until the promise of a new OS became reality? Really?
Same offer- I'll give you $50 for your oh-so-hated Gingerbread Razr. $55 if it's a Maxx.

Motorola said it will release on Q2 2012, so I think we should wait till end of June
So if rumor has it we will be getting JB on our Droid Razr's and suspected time frames are saying Q'1? http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/1...-which-phones-will-get-the-update/#more-86510
Question is where are the leaks? With ICS the leaks were out for months before its initial release! I'm ready to start seeing real moto leaks! :good:
But also in other news Rumor over on Droid-Life is that the Razr/Maxx may be recieving 4.2.2 a.k.a. KLP Q'2/3
so are we going to bypass JB and go straight there? http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/2...-and-key-lime-pie-update-schedule/#more-87108
I'm just looking for answers are they using different update servers now and we can't access them like we could
before, or is no one looking or tried yet because we know its coming?

All I know is if verizon doesn't want us to keep our phones then don't sell any good phones!!! If they want us to upgrade phones then don't charge us $200 flipping dollars for a new phone every couple of months or full price!! You sell better quality phones then your going to have to deal with people keeping them longer!! Moto has always made great quality phones software was a little lacking but now this RAZR is awesome both software and hardware I plan on keeping it as long as possible!!!
