when is Verizon giving DNA updates?

[kcooldude]

Verizon is holding many updates from us. For example we are a few versions down from the newest android version. We don't even have sense 5, whereas HTC one does. Our last update was minor bug fixes, I think, in april. Updates should be coming in, at the most, every 3 months

So when will verizon give us these updates

I read somewhere that HTC wants 4.3 on the DNA. How long that'll take, nobody knows. Verizon never really gives a time frame and sends out updates after "extensive testing".

Verizons connectivity is good, but their service about updates suck

Latest word is that they are skipping 4.2 and going to 4.3. HTC will release sometime in September, but Verizon testing could hold it back quite a bit longer than that.

I will stick with the end of Sept info. Keep your head up people.

 

[kcooldude]

Haha I hope they release it soon

Droid DNA should see Android 4.2 and Sense 5 by the end of September.

Verizon’s Droid DNA, its version of the HTC Butterfly, is still without Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and Sense 5 despite the update being available for the HTC Butterfly in Asia and elsewhere. Fortunately, it’s for good reason.

Like the HTC One, the Droid DNA will skip Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and head right to Android 4.3 with Sense 5 on board. And like the HTC One, HTC plans to get this update to customers by the end of September.

HTC and Verizon have not issued a specific date for the updat

Do you think it's possibly at all, if AT&T puts out the ota first, that (since the dna is sim unlocked) you could put the AT&T sim card in (if you're on another carrier that doesn't have it yet) and take the ota then Pop back in per say Verizon sim card?

 

[kcooldude]

That actually sounds like it will work. But if at&t does it first..

Well, I'm on Verizon and I've already flashed the HTC one port of sense 5 to the dna. But I was just thinking. So that should work because Verizon is ALWAYS last.

Here it is almost half way through September and unless u root ur phone there is still no update!

According to Jason Mackenzie, HTC’s president of global sales, the HTC One and DROID DNA will receive Android 4.3 before the end of September. We have recently seen the international HTC One receive Android 4.2.2, but Mackenzie also confirmed this weekend that the U.S. version will likely skip right to 4.3 since 4.2.2 was so minor.

I wouldn’t say we are surprised at all by this, as HTC seems to be attempting to update phones as fast as possible these days, but it was nice to see the DNA name-dropped in there. Launched at the end of last year as HTC’s flagship for Verizon, we feel as if it gets neglected from time to time.

Does Verizon really give a damn about the DNA?
