Probably because this is a very major update, so it's going to feel like forever, because we all know how kickass it's going to make our Bionics when it does come out. At least we're not questioning whether it will or not anymore; it's going to come out.
The sad thing is I already KNOW how kickass it is, I've been running it since the first leak. And yet I still worry about it, one reason being that I seem to be having a slight hardware issue that could potentially get worse. My screen is starting to separate from the digitizer. Only visible right now if I press to hard, but nothing is going to stop it from continuing to delaminate.
 
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xDDDDDDDDD
Jayrod you're ****ing hilarious!

I fully understand why tempers are high,but it's just not worth getting so mad about things we have little or no control of. There have been a lot of valid points brought up between threads, and I want a FXZ as much as everyone so at least then we would know what the final OTA version is, and can get more ICS Roms...but since I have decided to go all in with .246 and as far as I can tell all of my needs are met, strong data, smooth interface, etc. , I'm just trying to throw a little random stupidity out there to break things up some. :biggrin:
 
It's about a week. They have to prep the servers. And if they're in the middle of another update, they'll wait til that one's being pushed before starting the next one.
Wow, they must have pretty low-end servers to have to do things one device at a time. It seems like what they need to do is have a cluster of servers dedicated to each device, so they can push simultaneous updates. Like I've mentioned before, Apple seems to have no trouble updating ALL of their devices at once, even now that they've gone to OTA updates.

I appreciate your stupidity. Sorry, I couldn't pass that one up.:biggrin:

U do realize that this is a 360 mb update that millions are connecting to this server to pull this update so our talking at least 100 GB of load per 15 min that's a sh/t ton of stress on a server if not more depending how much load/back log is on the cell tower ur pulling from

Apple only has one type of device with the same hardware so they only need one update to update all there devices moto has an excess of 10 different devices which means 10+ different types of updates of the same build

When you put it like that, it actually sort of legitimatises why Verizon thought it was necessary to remove their unlimited data plans. It must be expensive handling all the data transfers at once. But that's not to say I don't still think they're stupid for trying to interfere with a manufacturer's phone software. They have no business telling them when or when they can't update their phones. xP

base architecture the same since Iphone 1, like installing windows on a bunch of dell PCs sorta
 
Music makes everyone feel better about everything! :D

I have no doubt that it is NOT (edit) just one server. The update server is probably, at a minimum, a huge cluster of servers or maybe even a distributed network of them all over the place. On top of that, they must have minimum resiliency requirements which means that whatever they do, they are not going to overly stress their servers out of caution against knocking them out. In other words, they have more than adequate computing power and bandwidth to handle the load. My guess is they don't do one massive dump at one time because of operational efficiency requirements, not because of technological insufficiency.
