Are pigs flying? Samsung Droid Charge getting Gingerbread update now
Share:
 |
the Samsung Droid Charge now is powered by Android 2.3 |
The Android 2.3 update can be installed automatically or you can push it manually. To do the latter, you first need to check "Settings" on your phone to see if the Gingerbread update has been delivered to your Samsung Droid Charge. If you haven't received your portion of Gingerbread yet, don't worry. Verizon has set that the update could take as long as two weeks.

It only took a year for it to get GB after GB was released. Too bad its already obsolete.

Obsolete? Not for a single core phone it isn't...
Try again...

What iamcc said in comment 7.
Despite being a single core phone, a 4.3" Super Amoled Plus display and Verizon's LTE make this thing less obsolete than most phones out there.
Plus, there is something like a 100% difference between 6 months and a year, so yeah. A little off there.

not to mention that it has SA+
the only thing this thing doesn't have is a dual-core processor and more RAM.

Someone needs to work on their chronological skills. Droid Charge is only a few months old. But you're right, it is already obsolete and that's saying a lot since it's made from Samsung, a company who's notorious for taking forever to update their devices.

it\'s certainly out of date but not obsolete. as long as the Charge can use Verizon\'s 4G LTE pipelines it\'s one of the best of it\'s class, if not THE best. that said it is true that Samsung is notoriously bad about updates and the sad things is this was probably quicker than most of their Galaxy S Gingerbread updates...

it only took 6 months since the phone was released. compare that to say, the thunderbolt that received it 7 months after it came out. see? samsung doesn't suck THAT much at ota's.

I want it pushed to my phone! I got mine the 15th when it came out! Waiting stinks!

GB is awesome - my captivate became nice smooth running - now running FUSION KK4, for the kids to play with. I hear Moto/Verizon is better with updates than Sammy/.AT&T....looking forward to some razor-cutting ICS goodness by end of year.

Or get a better phone, preferably by someone who actually cares about getting updates out on time.

Any idea if GB will help with battery performance? I think that is a big drawback with my Charge.

Got the update a few days ago.. So far no flaws! Software runs smooth and my benchmark score went up!

Rooted running GB 2.3.6 EP4, debloated using Fileslick, installed CPU Master overclock, Autokiller Memory manager & the battery runs all day moderate use no charging necessary.

Just loaded Humble 5.0 on Gingerbread 2.3.6 EP4P with HumbleComb theme, V8 Supercharger, imoseyon 4.0 battery runs well, very snappy, looks clean, no overclock as it's not possible yet being the source hasn't been broken but 1000 Mhz on the clock is enough.
I really recommend the Humble environment. It runs smooth.
