For a brand new AT&T Veer 4g: Which OS Version/Doctor would you recommend to update to for someone who will be using the phone for :

- gsm calls
- sms / mms
- gps functionality
- web browsing

Also, is there an os version where someone has been able to use Viber and/or WhatsApp?

Without question, the 2.2.4 doctor is the way to go.

IMO, the only reason that one should consider webos 2.1.x is for a properly working 3.5mm headset adapter. In 2.2.4, the audio output via the adapter is no bueno.

This is version 2.1.2. I believe it's possible to get an unofficial 2.2.4 version, but I don't have a Veer - someone else will probably direct you to instructions, or search this forum.

thank you both...

Regarding the headphone jack issue... Any success with bluetooth headsets?

As far as choosing between the 2.1 or 2.2, I am not yet sure of the difference, but I will be unlocking the phone from the AT&T network (not sure if that makes a difference) ... I'll take a look at a few more guides if I find them to figure out the correct order of operations... Unlock first, then update os or vice versa...etc...

I am just looking for the most stable option so that once its done, the phone can just be used without too many issues...

I use Bluetooth on my Veer and stereo works perfectly on it. The physical headphone jack is definitely mono on 2.2.4, though.

I was able to use the #*devmode# method to bypass activation on an unlocked ATT Veer.... Call & Text (minus mms) seem to work fine so far... I plan to follow the PivotCE guide for going back to webos 2014 but before I go any further, would now be the right time to upgrade to the doctor 2.2.4?

I am following the guide you recommended, but there is no mention of upgrading the OS to 2.2.4 doctor... If I want to doctor the OS, am I supposed to do it before following that guide? And as far as instructions on how to doctor the os to 2.2.4, I cannot find them anywhere... Do you have a link to the instructions?

If I can find the link to the 2.2.4 doctor I used, I'll share it with you. The build instructions no longer work, because the kernel image it needs is no longer available.

[araveer]

That explains why I could not find instructions anywhere... If you can find & share it that would be great. Thanks!

Thanks for the file... Do you also have a link to the instructions on how to actually do the update?

[araveer]

Any luck on finding instructions on how to install the doctor?
