Interesting. I've noticed that, when I go into your G3 ROM Update App that, in point of fact, there is a pending Update to v2.4 currently available. When I head over to the main Update Center to run it, it tells me that the Server is unavailable and my device will automatically check for an Update inside 48 hrs.  Hmm ...  I'll bet that I'll need to play that game with Google Services Framework to get anything responsible to update in a timely manner .  Funny what happens when you make a Refurbed U2 into a  $175.  Cell.  However, it IS the first time that it didn't mention that NO Updates were available. Must be on the rite track .  Just to see an OS Update hit this Cell would be an incredible thing.  Tracfone is insidious with how they're able to repress virtually aqnything constructive and moving forward with the U2 . But, you're a breath of fresh air and, that Update will soon hit. God bless and, have a Goodday !
