Should Verizon provide a roll back option from the gingerbread update?

Simple and straightforward. Do you believe That verizon should provide a rollback option from the gingerbread update?
My vote would be Yes.
Here is some reasons why
1 First and foremost the update should not have been forced.
2 When making significant changes to the operating system like gingerbread has Motorola should have the decency to contact Droid owners And inform them of the changes they attend to make.
3 The update wasn't really necessary.
4 ethically I believe that verizon should provide a roll back option.
5 regardless of what the fine print says in the contract just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is ethical to do.

Talk about beating a dead horse.......
I was President of the GB Sux Club after it came out. At least a dozen bugs and glitches were created after I installed it.
But, you know what?
In the weeks that have followed, as apps have been updating (you should check the Market for available updates if you don't have them set to auto), and I check daily, something interesting has happened.
Most of the bugs and glitches have mysteriously gone away.
Is/was GB the "problem"? It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't the problem.
After GB, my phone did and does bizarre things from time to time that makes me wonder how they could be caused by a conflict the O.S. is having with a 3rd party app.
The 3G dropping issue notwithstanding.
There are some issues, yes. But, I contend apps are the main "problem".
Can going back to Froyo (if it were possible) do more harm than good, if 3rd party apps are updated for GB? That's above my pay grade.
I did a reset after GB and it solved nothing. I defiantly refused to un-install all apps, or reboot in Safe Mode.
I did NOTHING but let the developers update their apps and right now, my phone is largely bug and glitch free, again.
In politics, there was the saying, "It's the economy, stupid". In Android, "It's the apps, stupid". (Not speaking to anyone in this forum).
Yes, the evil empire has it right when it comes to the stranglehold they have on which apps are allowed on their tiny iphones.
But, you know what? If, OEMs did the same, the Android experience wouldn't be the frustrating situation it is at times, ESPECIALLY after EACH update.
In my opinion.

    --- tried to do recovery , F11  showed that "restore" botton is gray/ inactive
    --- someone on internet suggested to make the recovery partition , "active", so i did it through disk management
    --- then when windows boot up, it went directly to previous recovery page with inactive botton,, i can not access my previous windows , i can not boot up to windows again

    Hi,
    If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Recovery CD.  Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
    Windows 7 32bit
    Windows 7 64bit
    You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD.  Once created, or if you already have this, insert the CD and restart to boot from it.  Select the Repair option.
    Select the 'Repair your Computer' option and follow Option 2 in the guide on the link below to run Start-up Repair – you may need to run this 2 or 3 times.

    Not with they limited information you have provided so far. Are you backing up to iCloud or to iTunes on your computer? Do you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer? Was it installed from a Windows or Mac user ID that had administrator privileges? Does the phone show up in iTunes? What is your operating system? Are you using a USB port directly on your computer (not a hub)? If it's a USB port on the computer and you have a desktop or tower computer is the port on the back, not on the front?

  • Errors (-50) occured when i was using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in my iTunes application on my computer.

    errors (-50) occured when i was using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in my iTunes application on my computer.
    what is it?

    Quoted from the link I provided you with, in your other post.
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

    Sounds like an activation issue. Quite Premiere Pro. Sign out of Creative Cloud. Restart Premiere Pro. Sign back in: http://bit.ly/CC-sign-out

  • I just did a system restore on my iphone 4 and it didnt prompt me to restore a back up. how do i restore a back up from the icloud now?

    how do i reload a back up from the icloud when i wasnt prompted?

    If you apps are still in iTunes, you should be able to sync them back to your computer.  Otherwise, if you have iOS 5 (5.01) on your phone you could redownload them by launching Apps, press the Purchased button at the bottom, press Purchased at the top, then Not On This Phone.  This will list your apps and allow you to redownload them.  If you've purchased apps using multiple Apple IDs, you will have to sign in to each of these IDs to be able to download all your apps (by going to Settings>Store>tap on the Apple ID, sign out, sign back in using another ID).

  • Regarding roll back and reassign the value.

    hi all,
    i am using forms6i.
    Re: how to avoid the form's message situation
    as we discussed my process has to happen like this. since it is a new topic so i have raised new thread.
    what i want to do is based on the input values(base table values) i have to call one procedure, the procedure returned value i have to assign to one of my database field and one new record should go into other table.
    so what i am doing is at the key-commit trigger i have written a procedure inside that i am calling a procedure which results in one value which i have to assigned to my blocks item. and one record to the table
    my code in key commit trigger is something like
    go_block('block name');
    first_record;
    based on the forms parameter call procedure
    if procedure returns error then rollback otherwise assign value to base table item and one record to other table so
    job_proc();
    :block.item:= output ;
    insert into job_table() values();
    if system.last_record = 'TRUE' then
    exit
    else
    next_record;
    end loop;now senario is like if i am in fifth record four record processed as i explained before. in fifth record if i am getting error means
    all four records value and insert statement should be reassined and rolled back.
    so i have written like
    exception when others then
    forms_ddl('rollback');
    go_block(block name);
    go_record(system.current_record);
    :block.item := null;
    if :system.trigger_record = 1 then
    exit;
    else
    previous_record;
    end if;
    end loop;is this is the way to rollback or is there any better way?
    please advise.
    Thanks..

  • How do I remove the "Dock" option from the Apple Dropdown Menu

    I work for a school district where I am continuosly having to go back into Mac labs and reverting the settings on the dock back to normal.  Students are changing the size, position and content of the dock, as well as hiding the dock.  These computers are used by students k-6 and the younger children are getting confused when they com in and they cannot find the dock or its not where it is supposed to be.  I have been able to lock the sizing, position and content of the dock but am not finding a way to elimante the hiding of the dock.  Preferably I would like to remove the "dock option from the Apple dropdown menu.  Please help!!!!

    This question was asked quite a while ago and the suggestion was to use Server Admin Tools, which I know nothing about. You'll have to look into that. If these Macs are running off a server, then this might work for you. I'm seeing that Server Admin Tools from Apple is still current.

  • I can using AirPrint from safari and email to my hp printer but do not get print as an option from the pulldown menu from the new york times and other apps. How can I print directly from these apps?

    I can't seem to print directly from apps like the new York times. Print is not an option from the pulldown menu. Print to my hp printer works  fine from safari and email though and from some other apps. Do some apps not permit printing? That doesn't right.

    Thats funny. If go to ny times on safari therebis a print icon and no problem printing. On the app -- and I am a paid subscriber -- no print option ...  
    You can ask the NY Times why not.
    Standard behavior is that Airprint always works with iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari.  Apps are up to their author.
