- This has little or nothing to do with any view by Verizon of Blackberry. You should see the ranting over the years about slow updates in the HTC Android forums for instance. This is a Verizon Wireless issue.12-17-13 12:59 PMLike 2
- So how often has Verizon pushed out updates for the HTC One?
Big Carriers are notoriously slow about pushing out updates and sometimes deciding not to do it at all. The older a device gets the less likely they will bother with even testing an update. Which is one reason I don't like the whole updates via carrier process. A year from now when 10.4 is release, do you think Verizon and AT&T will bother with the Z10 that will be a EOL device by then?12-17-13 01:03 PMLike 0 - The NSA has not quite finished with its snippet of code that goes into the update so the carriers are stymied!

The good news is that you can always use Sachesi to download the OFFICIAL 10.2 from any other carrier (Rogers, Bell, etc) and load that. It is exactly 100% bit-for-bit the same as what you'll eventually get from Verizon.12-17-13 06:56 PMLike 0 -

I only have one glitch with it -the compass. Everything else works great, including BB Maps so the compass problem is something that I can easily live with.
If you haven't installed the leak you're really missing it. I'm running it on 2 phones and loving it!clickitykeys and southlander like this.12-17-13 07:27 PMLike 2 -
About a week before that, I said "screw the carriers" and installed a 10.2.1 leak. Could not be more pleased! In hindsight, not waiting for VZ turned out to be a good decision.

I doubt carriers are interested in OS upgrades; they spend a lot of resources on verification. So, my guess is that BlackBerry decided to save some $$ on skipping 10.2 especially when it was not a game changer. I expect BlackBerry to push hard (read invest money) into 10.2.1 rollout and likely bring some new hardware.

The US carriers are the root cause (but perhaps not the only cause). No other countries have this issue so clear that BlackBerry are not delaying anything. It is possible that BlackBerry could, in theory, not be helping matters by refusing to pay extortion money as you suggest, we don't really know if that's true or not (but it wouldn't be surprising...we all know how greedy carriers can be!).12-17-13 08:07 PMLike 0 - If it were up to BlackBerry, you'd have the 10.2 update already (like the rest of the world). For some reason, US carriers are dragging their feet.

Do you know which carrier will provide this, or is this just enthusiasm to encourage people to install LEAKS run amok?
Posted via CB1012-17-13 08:24 PMLike 0 - Since the Verizon model is unique to the Unites States due to its CDMA/GSM combo radio, I believe, what "other carrier" you mention will provide the "100% bit-for-bit" update that will be provided by Verizon?

But, obviously, you can do what you want and you can keep providing your advisory of caution.

While not many issues have been reported, even then, if folks are reasonably informed of the potential risks then they, for the most part, are adults. In the mean time a number of better features have been provided by first, the official versions of 10.2.0.xxxx and even more from the "for sure" Leak 10.2.1.1055. Since quite a few Verizon users have gone with one or another of those versions and their phones seem to function as well as the version Verizon still offers, what is the harm. And with a good backup, they can generally fall back to the official version with maybe a few losses.
