Like I asked did you try a hard reset because replacing the wont resolve anything anyway.. I was just trying to understand why you would need to buy a new device.
That's makes no since, I have seen users get phone replaced for situations that wasn't a problem, like a app installed from market not running, which was a developer issue not a device issue.
Sounds like you are leaving out parts of the tale because that doesn't sound right at all..

Gingerbread Update for HTC Droid Incredible

Here we go it's the Official thread for the upcoming "Gingerbread 3.0" update for the Droid Incredible.
Float this thread to the top of your page to always see whats new and never stay out of the loop!
Tag often!
Here is some basic info regarding the new upcoming update. If you have any new information PLEASE update this thread and attach some links for all of us to follow.
Android 3.0 Gingerbread will be released in mid- October (around 15 -16th), 2010. First handsets shipping in November/December – for the Holiday Season.
Minimum hardware requirements for Android 3.0 devices are: 1GHZ CPU, 512MB or RAM, displays from 3.5” and higher. (We all, of course, heard that Android handsets with 2GHz CPU’s are coming)
New 1280×760 resolution available for the devices with displays of 4” and higher. (Anyone thinking about Android tablets now? )
Completely revamped user interface. If you want to get a feeling of what Android 3.0 Gingerbread UX is like, check out the Gallery app on Nexus One. The same overall feel, light animated transitions,etc. Natively, through all the UI.
Android’s split into 2 branches becomes official. 3.0 for top of the line/high end devices. Cheap, low-end mass market handsets will keep Android 2.1/2.2
Just a few jabs to get the fire started. Keep it nice here please, and lets help each other be the highest informed forum on the net! GO GINGERBREAD!!!!!

As I can see from your specs, we won't benefit from this update at all. Useless update. The new resolution would only be compatible with screens 4' and above.
With all the features we have now, what else are we gonna need?
Besides that, not even all Incredible ownsers have Froyo yet, it's too early to talk about some Gingerbread. Not even all Froyo users use all of its new features, such as 3G Hotspot and bugging apps that came with the update.
I'm just wondering what would Gingerbread bring that will make me like this phone more than I already do. Nothing.

Don't install New Ice Cream Sandwich update for Droids !!!! DON'T DO IT !!!!

Don't install New Ice Cream Sandwich update for Droids dated October 2012 !!!! DON'T DO IT !!!! I had a perfectly GREAT Droid Bionic untill I installed the NEW IC Sandwich operating Sys Verizon sent me when I turned the phone on 3 days ago.
Now Texting is a nightmare w/ every letter needing to be corrected do to tiny unforgiving keyboard.
Vm doesn't notify me when a call is missed.
Map is 3 miles off fr present location.
Apps & Icons on main screen randomly disapear & re-apear hrs later.
Icons are always in a different spot when ever phone is turned on.
Now I have to hit multiple buttons to answer phone. Before only had to hit one key.
No responce when touching apps such as browser or gallery
settings menu is totally confusing - old menu was clear and simple.
first time I used Alarm function I couldn't turn off alarm - had to pwr down phone.
Verizon refuses to reinstall old software that was "PROBLEM FREE".
Clearly this new software wasn't debuged B4 they released it.
Going to Apple!

Since it's Samsung, I'd say probably in the next 6-8 months if you're lucky.
Your waaay too optimistic..... When we were on Sprint my wife's Epic 4G barely got Froyo in late May 2011. and it was like a downgrade. Screwed up voice calling big time.

My Droid Razor HD updated yesterday. Now it will no longer connect to the bluetooth in my car

Yesterday I accepted the update for my Droid Razor HD. Now it will not connect to the Bluetooth in my car (worked for the previous 8 months).

Christin - Generally your pairings will still be in a list under BT on your phone. Unless of course, you performed a Factory Data Reset on the phone.
Your car's radio should have a reset capability. The front panel on my SONY comes off, and there's a reset button there. Do you have documentation that came with the car for the radio, or if an aftermarket radio, for the radio itself? If not, there is generally information on the web that you can Google to find the reset procedure.
HTH.

I could no longer find hotspot menu for sharing my cellular data on IOS 8.1.3. Please help!

i have just upgraded to IOS 8.1.3 from IOS 7.1.2 , and I could no longer find my hotspot menu for sharing my cellular data with my other devices.
what should I do?

Hello rotimifelix,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
If Personal Hotspot doesn't seem to be enabled on your iPhone after updating to iOS 8, check for the option in both of these locations in Settings:
Turn Personal Hotspot off and on: Tap Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
If the menu option can't be found, you may want to contact your carrier to ensure your account is set up correctly:
Verify that your carrier supports Personal Hotspot for your device and that you have Personal Hotspot enabled on your cellular plan:
iPhone: View a list of carriers that support Personal Hotspot on the iPhone.
If the issue continues, try these troubleshooting steps next:
Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you still see the issue, restore the iPhone.
You can find the information and steps above, as well as more troubleshooting advice, in these support articles:

Hi @adnanbdctg,
I would be happy to help you with the issues you’re having after unlocking your Samsung Galaxy Note 3. You stated that you unlocked the device in Bangladesh, so the phone is not being used on the AT&T Network. Your current cellular provider would be in control of sending over software updates and enable mobile hotspot/NFC capabilities.
Thank you,
Charise
even this posters carrier cant do anything as the software is locked to ATT period. The hotspot is trying to check with ATT's server to see if they have the subscription for mobile hotspot.

Software update for the Samsung Charge

I am on my third Charge.......I had a Droid, and a Droid X and loved the Droid X with very few problems. However I have had nothing but problems with my Charge.......each of the charges had the same problem.......I would keep getting a pop up message stating I needed network connection even though I was showing 4 bars. I could take out the battery and it would work for a while and then I would have to take out the battery again....finally taking out the battery didn't work any more. I am in a 3G area so when I went in to the Verizon store it worked for them......so I left then it dawned on me that in the store we were on 4G......do I went back in and sure enough on 3G it did not work. They went through all the check points with their tech and sure enough nothing worked and so ...my third phone!
All this to ask "When are we gettiing an update for the Charge? We pay a lot of money for these phones and I expect them to work......at least timely bug fixes!!! We do not have a land line so it is important that my phone works in a dependable manner and considering the cost I don't think that is asking too much!
Does anyone know when an update is coming out for the Charge?

Re: Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen
There is already new hardware for the nano (7th Generation) and it would take a hardware modification to put video on the 6th Generation Nano so no speculation was needed, Carl had the correct answer.
My Original iPod Nano received updates beyond it's generation, there is no reason to conclude this would not be possible for other models and generations. Why would the iPod Nano 6G need a hardware modification for video playback? It already can do analog composite video output for viewing slideshows with music and transitions on a TV and can handle full photo resolutions. The iPod Nano 6G seems more than capable from a hardware perspective of video playback, it's just that the screen is tiny small for viewing video realistically for any length of time with comfort. That can be rectified by using the onboard TV out feature, though battery life might be miserable. It has nothing to do with the release of the iPod Nano 7G.

Droid Razr M update is a nightmare - any helpful hints out there?

The latest update for my Droid has been nothing but a nightmare! I couldn't even use the phone after the update was forced on me. Many hours and several tech calls later to Verizon and Motorola and I can at least use the phone after having to do a factory reset but I am NOT happy at all! Hoping someone else has worked through these problems already and can help me out.
Bluetooth - had to reconnect to my car obviously and now I am not longer notified on messages when I am in the car?
Battery life - where did it go? Where does it go? All I know is it goes - FAST! Way faster than before the upgrade.
Random messages saying Amazon Kindle or Appstore or NFL Mobile has crashed. I never installed or use them so why does this keep happening? Can they be disabled without causing even more issues?
Text messages - used to be able to delete several at once now it is one at a time. Completely unacceptable! I can get a hundred or more messages a day from work and I have to delete them all one at a time? I have to save some if I need to reference it later so I can't just throw all of them in the trash.
I have been ready to pitch the phone since this "improvement" was done. I could go back to my old flip phone - didn't have all the features but I never had any problems with it...
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I appreciate it!

HitCast,
I'm sorry you are having trouble installing the update. I'm surprised that with the steps you have taken, you are still unable to install it. Are you using WiFi? When going to Settings>About Phone>System Updates what displays? If you are in Settings>About Phone, what information displays under Android Version and System version? Generally, if the software is not installing through this path, a master reset would need to be done to help push the update.

Droid Razr M update and text messages

After my droid razr m updated the other day, it now has to download text messages. One last night took about 30 minutes to download. It never did this prior to the update. I received messages from some people throughout that day. Prior to the udate, no download, just text message. After the update, download.
How do I get it to stop the download and just show the texts like before?

I am having the same issue, my phone was perfect for me before the GREAT UPDATE, then it overheated, shut off whenever it felt like it, freezes whenever, stopped ringing, text messages would take forever, kept getting "downloading" message in text, my group txt sent one txt repeatedly to everyone in the group for a whole day had to turn off my phone, so it would stop, people blocked me until I could get that fixed. Finally I went to the Verizon store and a lovely young lady replaced my phone, when I got it in the mail, the new one wouldn't even power on (really?????) sent that back finally got one that worked properly for about 3 months now it is randomly shutting down again!!!!!
I can turn off auto updates on my pc I want the ablity to turn it off on my phone as well!!!!!
It is the phone and the updates that are not compatible, just because your techs thought of something new doesn't mean that it's good for me, or just stop making blanket improvements as all phones are not equal..Example apparently my Android won't work with that same upgrades as an S4, seeing as how their 2 different phones.(duh)
Frankly i have no problem with the customer service people, you have to stand by your company its your job I get it, but you guys need to take these forums seriously and stop acting like puttng something on here is going to make a difference!!!!
Oh yeah and now this phone is starting to cut off randomly like the other!

Where is the update for BlackBerry 10.3????

Where is the update for BlackBerry 10.3??? Everybody has it but Verizon customer's. I'm not getting why we haven't gotten it yet.

They're likely too busy getting top down pressure to make Windows Phone #3 in the marketplace, even though, BB10 is far superior and people that truly use it, know it. Got a feeling, even VZW knows it, on the inside ;-).
Frustrate dedicated BlackBerry users enough, maybe they'll switch and BB will just go away...what they don't get is, won't happen, not here anyway. Heck, can't even find a BlackBerry device within sight in a VZW store around here. Have to first get through reps pushing/dealing crApple (sorry, not an NScrApple addict ;-)), then get through all the iPhone, iPad, etc super displays, then get through all the Droid, then get through all the Windows Phone displays, then you may find a BlackBerry buried in the back corner where no one is, and the reps have no idea how to use/promote the device to its fullest (we had to show them!). They don't even know what a Passort is when asked - yep, definitely up to speed on BlackBerry and in full support. Sad. Funny how BlackBerry rocks outside the US, even rated best OS, hmmm, so, what's the connection VZW? Who's demanding you bury BlackBerry BB10, and why are you obeying them?
If your support is sincere for BlackBerry BB10 and your BB10 customer base, get with the program and get 10.3 released to show that support! Talk of support is cheap, show it.
Maybe if the name were changed to iBerry?.......till then, all BB10 users will get is: "We know software updates are always exciting!", blah, blah, blah...

If you receive the HTC Droid Incredible Froyo update, please post here.

It is August 18th and we all know the rumors said we would get Froyo today on our Incredibles. If you receive the HTC Droid Incredible Froyo update, please post here so those of us waiting will know that the update is starting to download. It should be downloading by batches of phones. Once we know it has started, at least we'll all know it's then just going to be a short time until we are in an update batch.

My wife had the update waiting when she checked her phone at 9am this morning, I'm still waiting.
She's got a 917 area code and I'm 646. Her phone's paid by a corporate account while mine is tied to a different larger corporate account, but it is my personal phone that I pay for.
I've got my phone about a month before her and have been a longer VZW customer, so no idea what the distribution order is.

Why cant I install the latest update for galaxy note 2???

The latest update for the Verizon Note 2, which i guess is a Canada roaming update, can not install. keeps giving me an error message. Did everything, factory reset (which sucked), took out SIM, power down, etc. can i get rid of this alert?

@jacm79
I want to ensure you're able to enjoy the benefits of the latest software update for your Galaxy Note 2!
What is the exact error message you get when attempting the update? Are you connected to a WiFi hotspot or cellular data when attempting the update? Please let me know so that I can further assist. Thanks!
