Verizon EA28 Update

I just did an update from Verizon on my fascinate. It is the EA28 update. It looks like it disabled the "set unlock pattern" option for the cell phone security. It didn't take them long to write the program to disable the security. Would have been much better if they wrote the proper fix for the 911 / set unlock pattern problem!
Looks like another band aid for a gaping wound! Instead of working on the trivial options, just GET FROYO RELEASED!!!

This update has cut my performance basically in half.  SmartBench before this update rendered 950 productivity 1957 gaming.  Now I get 500 productivity and 1300 gaming... what the heck verizon, cut the crap here... if you are going to fix something please fix it correctly, or maybe you could just release 2.2 and make your customers happy for once...
This is just about a 100% reduction in performance before and after the update.  The reason I decided to test it is that I was starting to notice a little lag.  Hopefully you will rectify this problem, as this makes the samsung fascinate about as performant as a LG Optimus.

  • STOP VERIZON SOFTWARE UPDATE POP UP

    I want to turn off these stupid Verizon Software update pop ups. I have NO intention of allowing Verizon to put more crap on my phone that I don't want and definitely have no intentions of allowing them to remove things I put on the phone I PAID FULL PRICE FOR, off because they don't want them on there. I've heard nothing good about this latest update, and of course, Verizon has no real customer support so I have to turn to the community here to help me. So, if you can tell me how to turn off the notifications or stop the automatic updating, that would be great. If I have to root my phone, I'm okay with that, I just need to know how.
    Thanks! 

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 as your tagline suggests then you can only do the update via your computer's iTunes (you will need the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer).
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is iOS 7.0.6

  • Verizon Software Update Installer??

    have my S4 connected to my PC via USB... in the autoplay no Verizon Software Update Installer shows up..  how do I d/l the installer software.. trying to set this up for when the new Update comes thru for my S4.. should be soon from what i am reading... tried d/l Kies to the PC from Samsung.. all it does is freeze my FF and Chrome.. so this Verizon Software Update Installer should work hopefully once I get it d/l..
    any help appreciated...

    I finally got it to Pop-up after numerous tries... it then took 1 hr 20 minutes to complete from start to finish... whew... all I cared about was putting just about all my apps on the 32gb micro-sd card rather than have them take up all that space on the phone
    thanx 

  • Verizon online updates

    Upon my PC starting up I am getting a screen that is a checking of online updates. It says that I was not connected to the internet and gives a error code OxC2090194. When I click OK on this pop up screen it leaves a sign in page. It will let me sign in and then I have this Verizon online updates page which says it will check for updates and has always shown that there is nothing there. Is there away to keep these screens from coming up

  • IPhone 5 after the Verizon carrier update shows connected to LTE but data is not sending or receiving for periods of time

    After I updated the carrier settings on my iPhone 5 with Verizon I've noticed that my phone shows that its connected to LTE with 4 or 5 bars showing but quite often no data is actually transmitting. When one of these periods happen I can't connect to any sites on Safari and all of my text messages trying to send over iMessage fail to send out. If I wait a few minutes it will start sending and receiving again. I've already tried to reset my network settings as well as restart my phone numerous times. I'm not sure if its related to this data connectivity issues or not but my battery seems to be draining quite fast compared even to my 2 year old iPhone 4.

    I just switched to Verizon and seem to be having similar issues. I think Verizon is having more issues even after the update...now they won't be reading your wifi as billable data but that's because we can't even use it! I have to restart my phone 1-3 times per day to get LTE to work again! Seems to be whenever it goes from 3G to LTE or after I've placed a call for the most part... Working on contacting VZW tonight..this is BS.

    From my recollection, the update was removed approx. 2 years ago. This was an update to WinMobile version 6 and Microsoft removed the update for the phones.
    You may be able to find it somewhere on the internet if someone downloaded and saved the update.
    The only updates avail. now are on the support page for your phone under downloads.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.hpwebos.com webpage.

  • Verizon ellipsys update did not fix the app memory problem!

    The Verizon update for the ellipsys did not fix the original issue with the storage of apps on the device. The update gave you the capability to move apps to your tablet space; but, the device's pre installed apps cannot be moved. Those apps take up roughly 500mb of the allotted 1gb of space.
    This tablet was meant for my parents to use and they can't be sitting here umistalling and disabling preinstalled apps just to use there tablet.
    Please include in the next update a reallocation of memory for more app storage space. I have already moved all available apps over to the tablet space: I have 4 gigs open on their tablet and only 200mb for apps? Crazy sauce...

    I called Verizon 2nd level tech support and they assured me there is NO ED06 update's said they haven't even finished rolling out ED05 yet. I think they just told you that to get you off the phone. I also have a Fascinate and have had problems and can't get them to replace my phone with a different device. I want the Droid Charge since it is the only other one that has the AMOLED screen that I originally chose the Fascinate for . They had a program that ended on July 28th the day that ED05 rolled out. They offered the Droidx, the Incredible 2, and the Droid Charge to replace the Fascinates that were having trouble. I had called to report my issues during this replacement program but was not told that it was going on and now they won't give me the Droid Charge because it has expired. I think since there are STILL issues-they need to bring this program back and allow us to get a different phone. I have been a customer of Verizon for 10 years and have 7 lines so I am REALLY disappointed that they can't work with me (or other customers ) especially since it is not something we did to the phone. It is a problem with either Verizon or Samsung. I don't know where to go from here but maybe if they hear enough from others that didn't have any success with ED05 they will start to replace them. I will probably go to a higher level to voice my concern. Let me know if anyone has any success getting a new device especially the Droid Charge.

  • EA28 Update BUG

    After updating to EA28, I found a very disturbing bug with my phone.  I have an exchange account set up, and with that, my phone locks automatically and requires a 4 digit code to unlock.  While my phone is locked, I can now press the Emergency Call button and go directly to the dialer.  From the emergency dialer screen if I hit the back or Home button, I am taken to my now UNLOCKED phone, without having to enter my 4 digit code.  This is HUGE, as this update has effectively rendered the lock mechanism of my phone useless. 
    I have tested this on other Android phones and they all worked like they should, going back to the lock screen and prompting for the unlock code.
    Am I the only one out there this is happening to?
    I am grateful that I can now make emergency calls if necessary, but the fact that my phone has a massive security hole is worse.

    you are the only one, or at least one of a few, it seems. and now that you've announced this security hole, I wouldn't leave your phone alone for long.

  • Nokia Lumina 928 I just purchased from Verizon - Cyan update

    Is it true there is not going to be an update done to the Lumina's at Verizon for the Cyan update?
    I am trying to figure out if I should put this phone back in the box and ship it back - if no updates are going to be done.
    Please advise!
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    Well... Guess it is - what it is....
    So that sounds like a step back to me... From Testing to Under Development...
    Must admit - it is a little concerning...
    Hopefully Verizon is actually taking this serious and are working hard to move forward.... But, I know what I read online does not make me very hopeful that they are. But of course everyone online is just frustrated with no answers (like me) and taking guesses.
    I would imagine that Nokia, now being a Microsoft product, would be a top priority for Microsoft. I could only imagine that it is Verizon dragging their feet?
    If there are bugs that still need to be worked out, then I understand Verizon not moving forward... But I imagine Microsoft would be quick to act on their end. Otherwise why acquire Nokia if you aren't going to work hard to make sure it is a flagship for the Windows mobile OS. Verizon being one of the biggest carriers out there - Seems Microsoft would really want the update.

  • New verizon software update?

    Verizon just had a software update a few days to a week ago... is it my phone or the update? I'm droping calls - when I answer it the caller can't always hear me right away -  it's sometimes hard to disconnect from a call..?  Thank for your help,

    Seems to be a Carrier problem which in your case is Verizon.
    But to lessen the chance it is your iPhone you can Reset, Hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself. Ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone shut off and restart itself.

  • Verizon centro update

    just frezes and wont finish i have tried a soft reset and hard reset, the phone doesnt work anymore. help [URL=http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2299419990036502782MyarEo][IMG]http://thumb2.webshots.net/t/73/173/4/19/99/2299419990036502782MyarEo_th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums..  I assume you are doing the 1.03 update for Verizon and read all the instructions and followed them.  If it got stuck or froze at a particular place during the update the only thing that can be done is a soft reset and/ or a hard reset.  If neither of these bring it back so you can reinstall the update then you centro has been rendered use less as the update fried the rom.   That being the case you need to talk to verizon for a replacement.

  • Verizon carrier update 13.1

    I updated my phone to with the new carrier update but am still being prompted saying there is another update. Is this normal?

    Based on press reeports, Verizon is legally prohibited from locking any new LTE capable phones since winning the FCC auction for the spectrum they were granted. It should not lock it.
    This is unconfirmed, but is quite probably reliable.

  • Lost connection to verizon after update tp 8.1.1 ios

    Can't connect to Verizon after 8.1.1 update. Says its "searching". What is fix?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Regards
    TD
