Why is verizon being so stupid not updating icon to 8.1?

why is verizon being so stupid not updating icon to 8.1?

The update from Microsoft was already released to Verizon. Verizon is still testing 8.1 Cyan. This update is already active on AT&T.
Yes, there ARE many threads on this already. It is encouraging to see so many WP fans chomping at the bit to see this exciting update.
The WP line may be a comparably "low selling device," but considering several million have been purchased and are in use, it's not just a drop in the bucket.
Verizon has one of the most robust networks in the world. They need to ensure that all phones function appropriately on their network prior to a mass release. This update is not a small tweak; Microsoft and Verizon both receive feedback from developers and beta testers during the testing phase. Though I'm just as excited to receive the update, I'm glad they are taking their time to get it right.
Another consideration is marketing. With the new HTC out, it makes more sense to push a new phone with Cyan baked in, wait a couple weeks, then release Cyan to the rest.

  • Why are the date and time not updating in backups.backupdb folder?

    I just started using Time Machine on my early 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. After the initial full back-up and first few updates, the backup folder (on an external 1.5 TB Firewire drive) continues to show the original "date modified" of the very first back-up and lists the size as a ridiculous 2.48 GB. (Using BackupLoupe, I know it actually is 280 GB, reflecting the size of my internal HD). Any idea why this folder's info is not updating in the finder (even using "Get Info")? Are my back-ups really there? (It certainly seems so according to BackupLoupe).

    First, the best way to view or restore from your backups is via the Time Machine display, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.  Using the Finder is not recommended.
    Do not worry about the dates.  First, the date modified only applies to the "parent" folder; that's not the Backups.backupdb folder, but the one inside it that's named for your Mac.
    Don't worry about the sizes, either.  On Leopard and Snow Leopard, the size of a backup folder was the total size of all the items that were on your Mac at the time of that backup (less exclusions).  On Lion, however, it's the "unique size" -- the size of items that appear only on that backup.

  • Why the PO action history is not updating when i perform the vacation rules

    Hi,
    Can any one explain why the action history is not updating when performed the vacation rules using the below example
    Example: A >B>C>D are in the approval hierarchy here I have defined the vacation rules by login to the user C here I selected the item type as “All” and delegated to D.
    Now the buyer “A” has sent the document for approval. The user “B” can successfully reserve funds and approved the document. Now the document is automatically delegated to D. Here D can open the document from open notifications and approved the document. Now when I checked the Action history here I cannot find the performed name D who has actually approved the document.
    Note:we are using the 11.5.10.2 version.
    The Action History in the following manner
    Seq Action Performed By
    ================================
    4 Approve C
    3 Forward B
    2 Reserved B
    1 Forward A
    0 Submit A
    From the above action history why the user D name is not showing. Can any one let me know ASAP?
    Regards,
    Keivn.
    Edited by: user10960960 on May 5, 2009 3:36 AM

    When you set up the vacation rule, if you simply delegate the ownership to D, then C retains the ownership and the approval occurs with C's limits. And hence D is treated as the approver.
    If you transfer the ownership, then C is out of the picture. The notification goes to D and when he/she approves, D's limits kick in and he will be seen as approver.
    Hope this helps,

  • Skype for Business not updating icons on start menu - Using OCT for Lync 2013 deployment

    We're currently deploying Lync 2013 to out fleet using the OCT to customize where the shortcuts are created.
    What we are finding is that the Skype for Business Patch does not update these icons.  It only updates the icons if they are in the default location (no OCT).
    Is there a standalone Installer for Skype for Business we could apply a TRANSFORM to? Or some other method of updating all icons startmenu, taskbar etc.
    Thanks

    Hi Alan Dooley,

  • A number of my apps do not update (icons locked in "waiting.." mode

    A number of my apps do not update, they seem to be blocked in a "waiting..." mode. I fear I can lose the info inside. I close completely and open again iPad, but the apps continue blocked. How can I solve this? thanks

    See if any of these suggestions help you get out of the "waiting" mode.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Why the cells in JTable are not updated?

    I have a JTable, and linked a column to an array fo Strings. When the Strings
    are updated to new values (by other part of the code), the display did not show

    another frame and then move the second frame out to see the change. So how
    to let the change show automatically? Thank you.

  • Why is my "recent items" list not updating properly?

    When I go under the Apple menu to "Recent Items," I find that sometimes it does not actually show the most recent documents I have been working on.  I just closed a Microsoft Word document that I've been editing and saving for the past two hours, and it doesn't appear in the list, yet a bunch of other items are documents I had open earlier today (and have since closed).  Excel spreadsheets randomly fail to appear sometimes, then appear other times.  What gives?

    The solution - turn cookies back on in Safari.
    I'm guessing here, but it seems likely that iTunes uses the same rendering engine as Safari, and perhaps it is also dependant on Safari's use or non-use of cookies.
    What I know for sure is this - once I turned cookies back on in Safari, my list of Purchased items was populated, instead of being blank. So, hope this helps others.
    (I didn't have to reload my library, or any of the other things that others have suggested.)

  • Why is my ipad application udates not updating

    Why have the application updates stopped working.  They are all showing waiting and have done so for a week or more

    Hi paulchalkywhite,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This discussion post has some good steps you can try:
    App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Why does my apple tv 2 not update to v5.0?

    Hello!
    I´m new - my englisch is not the best but i will try to explain. I want to upadte my "apple tv 2" with the new released Version (5.0). I tried it since 5 days, but my "apple tv 2" won´t find the new version although i can read that there is a new update available. The Wifi-Network works good, it´s possible to watch filmtrailers and other content. When i try to start the update, there is the "normal" load optic, but it will not start and it failed. After two minutes it stopped and i should try again later.
    I´m thinking to update with itunes (usb connection from pc to apple tv), but i don´t really know, how that works. Meanwhile i found the newest "apple tv"-software and i have this new version on my pc.
    Who can help me ???
    Thanks in advance
    rommi2

    Hello Damian!
    Thank´s for your helping answer!
    Let me ask some more questions for better understanding:
    Is there a difference to load the new software with usb / Itunes ? Will Itunes find automatically the new apple TV update 5.0 (we talk about the latest and newest update with the different user surface)
    If "my" itunes won´t find the new software update, is the are chance or possibility to install the downloaded version, which i found in the internet. It is the version 1_5.0_9B179b_Restore.ipsw (487 MB size)? How will i get this version into Itunes?
    Maybe you can answer my new questions.
    Thank you once again for your efforts.

  • HT1819 Why are my old rss feeds not updating to new URL?

    RE: older iTunes podcast links broken after Squarespace 6 upgrade to new URL
    In the content manager, under blog settings, I have updated my URL in configure blog --> syndication by clicking on the change your feed URL to the new squarespace URL for version 6.
    I have no problem in that any newly created content is showing up and working in iTS (iTunes Store) but a problem in that the older files under the same folder (directory?) that are also assigned the newly updated URL do not show up.
    The older ones appear in iTS as the old squarespace URL still AND now they do not work at all.
    Is there a difference in lag time in updating previously posted podcasts and freshly created ones that live in the same folder?
    The old URL podcast name in iTS even has a different "title" name.
    It has been about 12 hours so perhaps the old ones will follow suit if I am patient.
    It just seems odd the news ones living next to the old ones are already working and posting on the iTS under the new URL while the old ones have quit working altogether.

    I know where the feed button is located, and I found each feed that I subscribed to. But there is no way to know which feed contains new content, and is therefore useless. As they are listed now, they are the same as any other bookmark, and I would have to open each one to see if a blog was updated. In IE, each blog title turns to bold print when it was been updated. Is this option available in Firefox?

  • Bluegrass Cellular's Deceit! Why will Verizon allow change but not Bluegrass Cell.

    Premise- The two carriers have a reciprocal agreement between the two and via that contract, Verizon supplies equipment (specifically LTE tech) onto Bluegrass towers, agreeing to share towers and equipment while Verizon agrees not to compete with BG Cellular in their small 34 county area.
    Details- My wife gets a healthy corp discount through AT&amp;T. We make the decision to move all family phones to AT&amp;T for huge financial savings. Prior to finalizing our decision, I called Verizon for an unlock code. The support person tells me their iPhones aren't locked, at least that she's aware. Still cautious, I take my Verizon Phone to the AT&amp;T store, insert an AT&amp;T SIM and after a network reset, sure enough, the VZ iPhone 5 gets an AT&amp;T signal. It's not LTE due the the difference in the two networks but it is4G HSPA+ Which I fully expected.  We also spoke with Bluegrass Cellulars Corp people from the AT&amp;T store in order to port numbers and make all necessary Changes on the spot. We asked what Bluegrass needed from us in order to complete necessary changes and they told us Nothing; they would take care of everything. They went on to tell my wife, via conf call (she wasn't with me at the time nor did we have her phone with us) what time (the following day) to turn her phone off, insert the AT&amp;T SIM CARD, and turn back on. At that time she was to be fully functional with an AT&amp;T signal.  I completed all paperwork, paid for amenities, and we had just added 5 lines to AT&amp;T.
    Problem- after turning her phone off, inserting the new SIM AS TOLD, message on phone came up stating the SIM card would not work with that phone. Without going further into a real cluster of a mess, I'll finish this with just necessary facts in order to provide enough detail to hopefully find an answer that makes sense. I called Bluegrass Cellular requesting an unlock code in order to finish making this change. 3 times I called talking with 3 different people, all giving me the same answer...Bluegrass Cellular doesn't lock their phones. I believe that each support person honestly believed what they were telling me was true; problem is, I know it isn't. After several days of my wife having to travel for work without a phone, I just went to the AT&amp;T store and purchased a new 5s.
    We sent a complaint to the BBB just because we felt we were treated with deceitfulness. Bluegrass's response was that they did not lock their phones and the reason the phone wouldn't work was due to the different networks Bluegrass CDMA and AT&amp;T GSM worked with. I kept telling them that answer didn't hold water because I was talking to them on a CDMA VZ phone proving they had not been admitting their phones are indeed locked.
    Question- what, if anything have I overlooked?  I was out $700 additional I wasn't planning on before changing her over. Can this Bluegrass Cellular phone be unlocked by a 3rd party. Bluegrass refuses to do anything. If they helped me now, they would just be admitting their deceitful practice. I'd love nothing more than to make educate the Bluegrass customers in some way. I paid my dues but don't want others blind-sided by their diligent intent to tell people whatever it is they think someone wants to hear as opposed to what's needed in order to make informed financial decisions.
    Sorry for this long post but I wanted to add enough factual information and hope for I helpful replies based on good factual information.  I'd love to post their BBB response as well as my rebuttal but I don't see any good coming from it. The facts are here!!!
    Thanks for any help someone might provide us.
    Sincerely,
    Bhelson. 

    According to this article, iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features , Bluegrass Cellular does not offer unlocking, sorry.

  • Why won't my iPhone 6 not update or restore in iTunes 12.1.0?

    I just bought an iPhone 6 and was able to sync to iTunes 12.1.0 on a mac mini running Mavericks. I was prompted to update the phone to a newer operating system. It failed and so did the restore. I updated the computer to Yosemite, I have the latest iTunes and still nothing. Does anyone have a solution? I believe the phone is stuck in recovery mode. Thank you.

    Place your iPhone into recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to get it into recovery mode so it will complete.

  • Why in the world can I not update apps in iPod tough FOUTH gen on iOS 6, as it is not compatible with iOS 7...very very aggravating

    Having some issues with iPod after the new iOS 7 update that is unavailable for the 4th gen iPod touch. This new iOS has only been out for a day and is appearing to already be creating issues on older devices.

    I am having issues too. Sometimes it shows I have 8 updates in the app store. *On Tuesday, I had alert buttons for 3 apps.* Then when I tried to install, it fiddled and hung. Next time I accessed it would show no updates available. At times it shows a list with every app I have ever downloaded (including ones I deleted ages ago) Does this mean no further updates for any app will be available on 4th generation iPod Touch machines? When I log into iTunes (running version 10.7.0.21) it says no updates available. Our family has a 3rd gen and two 4th gen iPod Touches. I'm afraid to update iTunes itself because it seems like every other one makes the older models hard to recognize for sync/backup functions.
    I apologize if this should have been a new thread on its own.
