Microsoft all ready has an update for Windows Phone 8.1 Verizon customers still don't have WP 8.1. UGH!

Microsoft has all ready released an update to Windows Phone 8.1. Us Verizon customers don't even have WP 8.1. *** Verizon?  My contract with Verizon is up in November this is the tipping point.  I am not going to renew my contract.  I will just buy the phone out right and sign up for Straight Talk.  Then I don't need to have the "Nanny service provider (Verizon)" telling me when I am able to obtain a device update.  Thanks for nothing Verizon.

On one side, I can understand that maybe (and that's a BIG maybe) Verizon wants to make sure they have enough data (pardon the pun) regarding the successful adaptation of the update for it's customers in order to make sure everything goes smoothly.  However, I find that Verizon likes to keep customers in the dark regarding time frames.  It's interesting to see on some of the similar titles message boards entries on this topic have Verizon monitors ready to wipe out entries if they violate terms of service on the forums.  But, when asked directly about time frames for Windows updates, you either get a link to some Verizon news page (which is of no help), or nothing at all.  A number of people called Verizon customer service and get varied answers like: "Sometime this summer", "Soon", or even an "I don't know, they don't even tell us either"...which is the answer I got one time.  Very discouraging.  I had a choice between the Windows Phone, or a Samsung Galaxy phone.  I chose Windows because of it's features.  Beginning to regret it now, since support for it on Verizon appears to be dismal at best.

    Remember, while we are releasing Lumia Cyan for a large number of phones, there still may be some of you that are not offered the Cyan update, yet. However, as explained in the blog, we’ll continue to add more Lumia devices every couple of days over the coming weeks until we bring everyone up to the latest.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • This is for Verizon Customer Service: Is there an estimated date for the 8.1 Denim update for Windows Phones?

    Will Cyan be rolled out for the Icon, or should we expect to wait until Denim is supposed to be rolled out around October
    << Moderation discussion removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >>  This is a very specific question and Verizon Customer Service can't answer it if they don't have a chance to read the question.
    I spoke with Microsoft Customer service, and the agent specifically said MS already pushed Cyan to Verizon, and he, as a WP owner on Verizon, was also frustrated that the updates haven't been rolled out by VZW.
    So bottom line question: Skipping Cyan? If so, what is the Denim date?
    Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

    Unfortunately the answer is unknown.  The majority of the Windows phone threads here are about this exact subject, and that says a lot about Verizon and their ability to communicate on a basic level.  You might get your update, you may not.  Verizon is in control and doesn't really care.

  • Denim update for Windows Phones? Ha Ha Ha! NOT FOR YOU!

    Hi, I'm Verizon, I am here to tell you loyal Verizon customers with Window Phones expecting Lumia Cyan update - Forget about it. It's not gone to happen. I know it brings new and improve functionality to your phones with and OS updates. I know it improves the quality of your hardware with a firmware update. And, I know other providers have already upgraded there Window Phones with no problems. Also, there are current Verizon phone users, who have updated the OS with developer preview and had no problems with the functionality of the OS on this Verizon network. Shame on you. And, now you hear about Denim Update coming that would improve your phone even more. Well, as my name is Verizon, keep dreaming. Look at all the other Window Phones users, on competitor's networks, enjoying their new experiences with new OS features and an updated firmware. Look how happy they are. Look at all the Wow reviews being reported on how wonderful this new upgrade is. That's right, just keep reading, that's about as close you will be to getting it.
    Thanks again for being a loyal customer and giving us your money,
    Verizon

    Remember when the United States was a leader in the technology race? Well, Verizon is no longer in last place, they are not even in the race anymore. They are on STILL on the "Black" lap, the other providers have finished the "Cyan" lap and are now on the "Denim" lap. Verizon dropped out of the race, but the other countries: Europe , Asia, the Middle East have all been launching denim. Go to Windowscentral.com to see the HUGE worlwide list of providers that released Denim! Many of these countries I honestly would have considered behind us technology wise, but they don't have Verizon to hold them back. On another note the Availability page no longer shows the date of the software releases, or even if a new release is coming. They only show what release you currently on.

  • I paid for the blackberry internet service, but I still don't have it!

    I've had a Blackberry Curve 8520 for almost a year now, I'm on pay as you go with Vodafone. My internet service recently ran out so I topped up £10 yesterday and paid my Blackberry internet service (The £5.30 for 30 days) with my calling credit. It has always taken an average 10 minutes to start working again but it has now almost been 24 hours since I topped up and it is still not working. Blackberry App World is working, and one app that I downloaded requires internet and that's working fine. However, Faceboook, Browser, BBM, and Email are all not connecting. When I try and connect to the browser it comes up: "Unable to connect to the internet, please try again later. If the problem persists please contact your service provider" - and yes, I have rebooted my blackberry by taking out the battery, about twenty times now and nothing has changed. I woke up this morning and blackberry app world was the only thing working. I have also tried "Registering Now" on the Host Routing Table, but nothing happens. What do I do?! 

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I suggest you follow the one instruction you have received but have yet to follow -- contact your wireless service provider. They are responsible for delivering all services to you. Think of it this way -- you are paying them for services that they are not delivering!
    Good luck!

  • Enable Microsoft Update (not just Windows Update) for Windows 2008 R2

    I am running Windows 2008 R2 in my Citrix XenApp 6.5 farm.
    Office 2013 is installed.
    I can't update Office via Windows Update. Why? Take a look at this ridiculous roundabout tautology it takes me through.
    Here I am in the Windows Update panel:
    If I click "Find out more" to get updates for other Microsoft Updates it takes me here:
    Yeah, duh, I was just in there when I clicked the link to get to this site. What's the deal?
    How does one enable all Microsoft Updates for a Windows 2008 server. I can do this in 2003 easily by going to the Microsoft Update website. 2008 however, this appears to be impossible and apparently no one else in the world has noticed this.

  • "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature.

    Hi. Iam trying to update from iTunes 7.3.2.6 to iTunes 7.6.2 but always get this message: "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed. Can anybody help me wth this?

    always get this message: "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed.
    There is a problem on some XP machines where Apple Software Update for Windows version 2.0.0.21 will always return an invalid signature message when trying to update to ASU 2.1.0.110. Since it tries to do that prior to updating other software, the update of the other software is blocked. (To check what version of ASU you have, launch ASU by going "Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update", and then in ASU go "Help > About Apple Software Update".)
    The way around that issue (if that's what you've got) is to update itunes using the link to the iTunes installer that Jefe gave you in his/her post. That iTunes installer will also update your ASU to at least ASU version 2.0.2.92 which should then be able to successfully update itself to ASU 2.1.0.110 next time you run ASU.

  • Nokia Software Updater for Windows beta phase has ...

    Hey guys, just wanna share with all of you.
    Quote from Petri at NokiaBetaLabs site.
    Nokia Software Updater 3.0.495 for Windows has been released to consumers.  When you start your NSU client next time, you will get the latest NSU version automatically.
    Changes in NSU 3.0.495:
    Support for Symbian Anna release
    Application update fixes
    USB HUB Warning
    We will continue to update Nokia Software Updater regularly, but we don’t expect any big UI changes in the near future.
    Thank you for the feedback during this beta phase. It has helped us to develop the product and find problems before the big release.  At this point we'll conclude the beta trial here at Nokia Beta Labs.
