After waiting all summer and only having the ZVD update for the Viper, which added the QuickMemo feature, it appears that LG is really testing ICS 4.0.4.

So far there have been 3 builds, all of them have been 4.0.4. Not sure why they haven't released a complete version yet, but hopefully soon. The Viper had lots of potential for a mid-range device, but the neglect from LG has really done great damage.

I was able to confirm that the LG Viper does show the 4G LTE signal strength now that it has ICS update.   Robert via Nexus 7 on Tapatalk

Just a theory:

Builds E and F were internal LG test builds builds G and H were the builds that failed certification on Sprint’s end.

Build I could be the winner.

I just completely made all of that up. Hopefully you get some ICS soon.

In other related news, the LG Lucid, Verizon's version of the 840, is getting ICS starting Friday. Maybe that means the Viper will soon get it's official ICS upgrade!

Over at Android Central one of the members posted a conversation with a Sprint Rep. Hopefully it's a legit conversation. They gave this individual a date of November 20th.

 

Here is a direct link to the post.

I know some are hesitant on LG products b/c of their poor OS upgrade history, at least that's what I seem to see while reading comments in the LG Optimus G threads (which is available for pre-order at Sprint now, btw). But, I cant help but wonder if LG's new relationship with Google/Nexus will give them a boost with future OS upgrade performance across all their phone models.

That would be nice. At least it's come instead of at the last minute Sprint and LG saying that they won't release it.

Nope. No luck yet. Appears to be totally random. :(

Have you tried the menu-settings-apps-all apps-Google services framework - clear data - force stop-

Then trying to check for updates?

Yep. Like 15-20 times today.

 

There is a way to do it manually now.

 

For those that don't want to wait, there is a way to do this. Check out this post at Android Central.

I'm tethering from my phone because I have no home internet anymore in Pahrump. This will take quite a while to complete.

I could download it, burn it to a disk, and then mail it to you faster than downloading it over Sprint 3g...

Haha. Nice try. I'm already at 28%. Current download speed is about as fast as my fastest dialup speeds, 30k, but it peaks at around 75k at times. I have about an hour and a half to go.

He would never make it that far on veggie power. Although I'd never make it that far on fried chicken power, either.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
