When is Verizon going to push OTA Android 5.0 for VS985? Rest of the world has it - why not US?

Seems Verizon is one of the last to push this to their customers. Come on Verizon, we were stuck with 4.4.2 on release day and you have done nothing for us except that stupid video call update you pushed a month back.
Hell, even straighttalk pushed 5.0 to their customers already.
We pay more for less with Verizon - hell I am paying almost 150 a month for ONE LINE. Since we are paying premium we expect premium.
No crap about "we have to ensure it works on our network". You guys have had 6 months since Developer release and 2 since LG Released final code. It doesn't take 2 months to test it on one device.
Stop dragging heals and take care of your customers for once.

To quote Verizon on the same question from PwrPak (just 5 days ago).
"We are dedicated to offering you the very best device experience, PwrPak! At this time, we do not have information regarding a future software release for the LG G3. I apologize for any inconvenience."
1. I am an Automated Software Test Analyst. What is that? I build code to run automated tests for the purpose of testing software prior to release.
2. Ever heard of Agile Testing? We run software releases, built, tested and promoted, in two to three week sprint sessions. It doesn't take 2 months to test software. Heck, it doesn't take 1 month to test software built for a specific device (in this case LG G3).
3. It was released in Poland as initial test and Korea once Poland was ok. Korea is not a small market for LG G3 -I think you over-estimate the number of people in the US who have the LG G3.  The reason it was released in Korea is two fold - 1. It's the home of LG and 2. There aren't the same carrier restrictions that we face here in the US.
The problem my friend is not location or volume, it's the carriers themselves. The software may be just fine to release, but if it detracts any of Verizon's services where it might expose ways for users to get the same services for free or reduced- Verizon will crunch the release. Only when Verizon is absolutely sure it's bottom line won't be affected, will it release the OTA. This is the same reason the VS985 shipped with a locked bootloader - it's all about protecting Verizon's ability to charge it's customers for what has become one of the most expensive services in the US.
It's all about the Greenback and nothing about the OS Stability.
Amen!

  • When is Verizon going to add coverage where they currently have no service?

    I am living in an area in Texas where I get great 4G coverage, but that is the only service I receive.  My husband travels and is constantly in areas where there is no coverage at all.  When is Verizon going to increase their coverage so they are everywhere?
    Also, I need additional services, but they are not offered by Verizon in my area?  Why do I have 4G coverage, but cannot get FIOS for home or any business services?
    If not resolved by the time my contract ends you may lose a long time customer who moved here from AZ where service was excellent.

    Thank you Ann, but that does not explain why I am currently out of touch with my husband who has 0 service with his cell phone.  We both have the same phones and if he had an AT&T phone he would have coverage.  If Verizon Wireless doesn't step up and increase their coverage we may move to AT&T so we have coverage within our entire state.
    It was my belief that Verizon Wireless was owned by Verizon the wireless just being one of many services they offer.  When I call for assistance I am speaking with Verizon, not just Verizon Wireless.  When I want help for my phone in person I go to a Verizon store, not a Verizon Wireless store.  So to me, they are one and the same.  It is the same with AT&T.  It is bad enough AT&T is the only internet service I can get, but it looks like I will be going to AT&T for the complete package if something is not done soon about Verizon's lack of coverage in Texas.

    My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • HT4623 when turn imessage on there is a message saying waiting for activation but it doesnt change anybody knows why?

    when turn imessage on there is a message saying waiting for activation but it doesnt change anybody knows why?

    Hi guys,
    I keep getting "waiting for activation" on my iMessage. I can only send/receive iMessage from my email address, NOT my phone number.
    I have done all kind of fixing suggestions that I can find online, but nothing works so far.
    - Date & time set as automatic (I don't know why this matter, but mine was already set as automatic from the begining)
    - Reset network setting
    - Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8.
    - Restore to factory setting (from back up & as new iPhone)
    - Turning on/off iMessage & facetime
    - Sign out/in of apple ID
    - Change location from apple ID
    - Hard reset/reboot
    And many others.
    ...me too. I'm in Portugal having the same issue!! Hopefuly Apple will give us a solution, shortly...

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Always search the forum before posting. This is asked at least three times just below your post.

    Hello TOP SupaviT,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

  • When will tv shows be available to the rest of the world?

    i'm living in ireland and i want to know how to download american tv shows? its really stupid that it only seems to be available in america. does anyone know when the rest of the world will be able to buy and download this stuff?

    Apple can only sell what the TV companies allow them to sell. If they only allow them to sell their programs in the US, then there's not a lot we (or indeed, Apple) can do about it.
    For instance, Lost is shown on RTÉ, so they will have an exclusive right to show the program in the Republic of Ireland (or at the very least, the right to show it first). What happens then if iTunes start offering the program at the same time? All these contractual problems have to be sorted out.
    We're not allowed to speculate about future Apple products here, but I think it's a matter of public record that Apple are actively pursuing international rights for the TV shows in the ITMS. Apple would love to sell you TV shows, and they will whenever they are allowed to do so.

  • When is Verizon going to provide Android v4.3 API level 18?

    Google released Jelly Bean 4.3 API level 18 on the 24th of July 2013.  When is this going to be provided for the Droid 4?  Mine still has Android version 4.1.2, which was released a year ago, and lacks support for low energy Bluetooth and many other new features. 
    It is unacceptable for Verizon to lag so far behind the Google developers, especially since Google bought Motorola.

    Likely never. The only phone on 4.3 right now period is the Nexus 4, and the new Nexus 7 tablet has 4.3. The GPE Galaxy S4 and GPE HTC One are probably next in line to get the update, along with possibly the Google Play version of the Galaxy Nexus.
    non-Nexus/GPE phones, if they get the update, will lag behind by 6 months to a year, minimum, as normal.
    Your Droid 4 was released on 2.3, updated to 4.0 then 4.1, it's already seen RIDICULOUSLY more support than the average android phone will ever see.
    Many of the "new features" you refer to require hardware your Droid 4 doesn't have, for example updated versions of the bluetooth hardware inside to conform to the newer bluetooth standard, or require drivers to support the features that haven't yet been written for the particular chipsets and components used in your Droid 4.
    Most phones, if they get an android software version update at all, get one update in their life cycle. Yours has seen two, be happy to have gotten the updates you got.

  • When is Verizon going to fix all of the things they broke with the latest update?

    Dear Verizon Wireless,
        I have been a customer for many years and for the most part have been satisfied with your service, but what happened to my Note 3 after the latest update is unacceptable.  I see many people in this forum with similar issues that are getting stock answers that don't really address the issues, and show a lack of interest in solving the problems, and helping your customers.
         I received my Galaxy Note 3 at the end of March, and I loved it.  It was very reliable, fast, and I could go a whole day on the battery (Most of my days last at least 18 hours) making calls, streaming audio or video, even sharing my broadband connection with my tablet once in a while, and still show the battery was 50% charged.  Until I received the 4.4.2 update on May 17th.
    Immediately after the update (which I installed that morning, fresh off the charger) the battery only lasted until around 7 PM,  when I plugged it into the charger first it didn't recognize it was even plugged in, and later kept telling me that I should use the original charger and cable for better performance.
    The clock showed the time as an hour later, I had to manually set the time zone instead of using the "obtain time zone information from the network" feature.
    The alarm clock randomly decides not to go off, this morning at 9:30 it still showed the alarm was set to go off at 8 am, but didn't.
    Yesterday while a mile from my house I received a notification that I would be charged extra for data usage while roaming outside of the U.S. and asking did I want to use it or not, while It had already disable my data waiting for a response, this would be useful if I had been outside of the U.S. and not at home.
         Don't tell me that my 45 day old battery lost 80% of it's functionality overnight because periodically they need to be replaced, while that is true it happens gradually over time and not within a 24 hour period.  The other problems, while somewhat minor, are still annoying and detract from the reliability of this device.  Not getting up on time because the alarm is unreliable is a big issue, I've used the alarm on my phones for 15 years without serious issues, and today I will be buying an alarm clock..
         I've worked 30 years in the IT field, many of those helping people resolve technical issues and I know how to tell the different between user configuration issues and broken software, If you don't have a real answer to mine and other peoples concerns on this forum then maybe it is time to escalate this issue to someone that was involved with building this update.
         I don't want to restore my phone unless it will actually solve the issue and not "lets see what happens when you do", because it would take me hours to reconfigure all of the software on my device.  Removing the update is probably not an option, so what I really want to know is when will the update be pushed that will fix these issues?

        Frustrated_liz,
    Hearing about all of the issues going on is upsetting to me, and so I can only imagine how you're feeling. I'm sorry you have to go through this experience. How hot is the phone getting? Hearing about it overheating is a huge safety concern and I'm worried. Have these service issues been going on since you got the phone?

  • When is Verizon going to offer the iPhone 4 8GB for free with 2 year contract extention?

    Just wondering when this was going to happen.  My wife is due for an upgrade and I'd like t wait and get the iPhone 4 for free rather than paying 100 bucks right now and extend the contract for two more years.

    Well, it's a simple question and I can tell you the answer you would get. "We have no information"
    In general, businesses don't tell you "Don't buy now.  Wait X weeks and it will be cheaper".
