Ics soak test has begun!!!!!!!!

[virgil71468]

Good points. However, I find it odd that there seems to be another push of soak test invitations this morning. Can't be that many e-mails that got "lost" in the interweb and spam filters.

I think your summation that something's amiss is correct. Time will tell...

They very well could still soak by friday, d/k

Exactly. We don't know. That's part of the problem, tbh. But, we'll wait to see what happens on Friday/Saturday. No soak = not good news.

Oh FFS. If they're sending out another batch of these damn invites, then we're probably screwed for a soak this week. YIPPIE.

Yeah. I'm hoping not, since I'm still .905 unrooted stock, but...

Hmmm... What's with my double posts? Not intended. Sorry.

Wait a minute. Even if the never go to JB they could still release 247, right? Its a step towards JB but it in no way requires it, right? If we all got to 247 and then all development stopped we would all still be on the most advanced, stable , well built build of ICS that currently exist, correct? Getting 247 doesn't obligate moto/verizon to guarantee we get JB

Sorry..late to the discussion...looking like someone tripped over the server connection after I went to bed last night.
WooHoo..so not only did they go ahead and put out .247 with the JB patch, then have they been stalling the soak, then they decided to put .246 back up (correct?) but now they are sending out more invites? All of this pushing us closer to EOL...with no real idea WTF is going on? Is someone bipolar over there?I know this is still old Moto legacy stuff...but so far, the new improved Moto isn't doing much to WOW! I like my phone and how well it is running .247 (JB leak..not as great but it is a port) but all of this is definitely making me itch to start looking for a new non Moto phone sooner than I expected to.
Guess I could flash Blur_Version77.111.10XT907.Verizon.en.US.zip on my phone and get laughed at by Sam for being dumb...that would at least be a positive for my day!

I think people are missing the point here. 247 offers NOTHING over 246 except for the JB patch. Other than that, the builds are identical (much to the chagrin of people who claim supposed differences between the 2). If they have no intention of doing a JB build for Bionic, then 247 is not necessary. So the point is, if we get 246, we know we're NEVER getting JB. If we get 247, there's a CHANCE we'll see it. But it's looking slimmer by the day if it's going to take 3-5 months to build it.

I think I'll throw .246 back on my sdcard-ext just in case...

[SamuriHL]

As should everyone on 247. DR is back.

They have a build? Really? You have a link to it? Cause, whenever I have someone check, it's not there. Meaning, it's not done. Meaning, no, they don't have a build. We're not talking about building an AOSP build here. You forget what's involved. They have to test with apps, they have to load it up with VZW bloatware and test with that crap, as well, wait for VZW to provide new versions of their bloatware, do a new build, wait for more feedback from vzw, etc, etc. So yes, 3-5 months is realistic. And if it ends up being on the 5 month part of that scale, we're screwed.

Eh **** it, I thought we actually had a engineering build with a build number and everything. **** this ****, i'm done....................
