New Vizio Update to 1.1.5?

[gjhuff]

Thank goodness I read this before going online today, so I could disable the update service. For those who have lost root, did you also lose adhoc network connection? It is amazing that Vizio would allow this to happen to the users who praise the VTAB the most, thus rendering it less useful.

So instead of fixing the SD card issue or upgrading us to ICS or even Honeycomb, Vizio wastes their time issuing a security update. Wonderful.

Totally agree. It's always annoying to me when companies do this. You think they could have added something USEFUL. A tweak, fix or optimization here or there. But NOOOOOOO. Oh well, Sony does this all the time.

These updates might roll out in waves from Vizio (or Google?) . That has been my experience with another tablet I own. If so, it could be several days before everyone receives it.

Was just going through Appmonster, and it appears that the update modified three apps. Hulu+, FlashPlayer, and Nook all were upgraded by the new software.

Fyi.

As if we cared about Nook etc
They did not improve remote app nor did they fix SD issue (although at this point I don't believe they can possibly fix it - ever)

I was online but somehow did not receive an update.

Did anyone try to root again after this update?

Froze update service with Titanium for now.

I received the update notice but did not perform the update.

I booted just to make sure it did not update and all was good. I ran the check for update and none was found.

Still rooted.

The root exploit fails. Please see Post #108 in this thread over at xda

Thanks.

Shameful move, Vizio.
You could have a winner with this tablet.
Not so much now.

I have 60 days to return the vtab. I'm gonna return it if Vizio doesn't issue an update which fixes the SD card problem and upgrade to Honeycomb. If Vizio doesn't feel the need to support their product then I don't feel the need to give them my money.

Android Version: 2.3.2 GRH78C
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7+ (blah blah blah... Tue Nov 22)
Software Version: V.I.A. Plus 1.4
Uboot Version: 1.1.18

Ok - Being new to VTAB and Android - How does the VTAB get the updtae?
My Kernel Version is DATED Thursday October 13
My build Number is 1.9.56

So - 1. Has mine been Updated? - My guess is NO
2. How does it get updated??

Thanks
Bill

Just to add to the "mystery" I went to Settings/About Device/Vizio Update Service - Says "Your Vizio tablet is up to date. No update is necessary." Just adds to MY confusion.
