Wow, it's like I come back to this thread every few days and it's got 10 new pages.. Anyways, do we have any further information as to when at least something will happen? Other than the fact that the soak will not be starting today -.- I'm kinda guessing that because the ways are unfolding, we're not going to get an update until October.. At this point, we can't really put the blame on Verizon alone or Motorola alone, they're both to blame. They both played favorites, and they've both treated us terribly.
Some will argue its Verizon's fault because they're the ones to push the updates. I disagree because you could tell the Bionic wasn't really Motorola's focus for the PAST - *ahem* YEAR - so, it's both of their fault for putting us off this long. And yes, just so you know: The Bionic will officially be a year old on the 8th.
Droid RAZR
Released: November 11th (11/11/11)
ICS OTA Update: June 30th (6/30/12)
Time from launch to update: 6 months
Droid Bionic
Released: September 8th (9/8/11)
ICS OTA Update: TBA
Time from launch to update: >1 Year

Skeptical :/ lost my trust with Verizon and Motorola with this phone.. Not something to boycott them over, but very disappointed.

232 has been superb for me, but I will def hit up 242 once we get concrete evidence of ota. For awhile, I thought 232 was so nice I relished the idea of staying on it so I could go back to gb sometime. Then I thought, gb?! I'm never going back!

Not to sound like a killjoy, but if we do, it still doesn't change the fact that we got the update one year after our launch, and the RAZR got it in half that time even though it came out 2 months after us.. I think Bionic owners have been screwed over since the beginning, that they were expecting the RAZR to be their flagship when it went into development.
In my school, if you turn something in late the highest you can get as a grade for the assignment is a 75%. I'm pretty sure they don't allow you to turn in assignments that are from several months ago though.. Anyways, what I'm saying is I'm giving Verizon a 2 star out of 5 rating on this whole deal, and Motorola gets 3.5 stars because I still like them and they kinda had to put up with Verizon.

Oh, no no no no xD I still love Motorola and Verizon, we just got a raw deal on this phone. I will always buy Motorola phones, my OG was the best thing that ever happened to me and for that, I'm staying with them for life. As for Verizon.. It's a family plan xD
There you go then. It was clear that we got the raw end of the deal when the RAZR was released a month after the Bionic. Bionic was delayed 9 months and superseded by a new phone a month later. Anyone who is surprised that we are the last of the VZW moto phones to get the ICS upgrade, 9 months after Google released it upon the world, has their eyes closed. Know that Moto did a better job with our ICS build than ANY other phone. That's our conciliation. Our build is rock solid.

Thats incredible! Im at 14 hours and 30%....232 leak, 4g at all times, 50% screen brightness and light usage. Extended battery. And i thought that was decent. U use standard battery right? Do you run 4g? What's your screen brightness set to? And are you using smart actions? Or any other battery saving app? I am curious whether or not i will see this kind of battery life when i am finally running 242. Or whichever build the ota will be.

Not true ur HoB will brick the crap out of a phone as it is if u use my custom fxz
13 hours 45 minutes 80%...
Standard battery. Just now set up my smart actions. 4G, yes, but, I've been on wifi all day. A few rounds of song pop and lots of email checking. Whether you get this kind of battery life or not depends on a lot of factors that truly can only be sorted out first hand.
You misunderstand. The HoB doesn't care. It's up to the user to give it the right files.

I had this issue on 229 as well...I thought it was just overheating too much, and I've been avoiding using it during my commute lately because of it. I'll give it another chance now that I've upgraded to 242..
