1.6 out, anyone gotten it?

Any MyTouch users received it yet? Id like to get my hopes up...
If so where do you live?

Ive had it for a couple weeks...... LOOK BELOW

nice, i meant the ota though. After the countless hours i spent on my rooted g1 instead of studying in law school ive decided to keep this bad boy stock, so i have to wait (impatiently) for the ota...the anticipation is killing me

nope I'm rooted and plan to stay that way.

For cupcake and donut the g1's without root were able to utilize a flashable update, i guess no love for the mytouch...really thought id have the ota by now

yes, its the official update

I renamed the .zip file to update.zip and put it on the root of my sd card.. but when I boot the phone by holding down Home and Power, I get the ! pic in the center of the display but at this point I can't figure out how to apply update.zip
Can anyone help?

Well I figured out how to boot it to look at update.zip on the sdcard, but I receive errors when I try to upgrade the phone. It doesn't appear this is the correct update bundle.

Both my myTouch and my wife's G1 got the 1.6 OTA in Los Angeles over the weekend. While it did mess up a few of the apps I ran, a bunch have already been updated in the Market. The HTC_IME keyboard was also messed up but there is an updated version availabe -- do a search in the Dream sections here; I downloaded the new one from there and it's working fine again.
EDIT:
Here's the thread where I got the new HTC_IME that works with the 1.6 update:

got it dis morning

about this new OTA update

has anyone even gotten it yet? i heard that it already started but so far i got nothing. also does anyone know if this update will fix the battery life issues from the last OTA update?

It was nagging me to do it since like ten yesterday morning. I didn't actually apply it though, just changed my build.prop so it won't bug me anymore.

Not that I know of :/ but you could flash the RUU. Keep in mind it does wipe data, so I've heard. Here's the link if you're interested.

Is there a changelog for this new OTA? I really have no complaints on the last OTA after I removed all the bloatware. The not total battery charge while powered on is the only issue I have.

If you are rooted, will this install correctly? i just go the notification.... also would it kill root?!?!

So i just woke up and had the update message,said to restart to update. I accepted, it counted down but never restarted or update from what i can tell.i restarted my phone but still no change. Anyone else having this issue or a solution?

I'm in the same boat. Incredible Froyo(Unrevoked F)(S-off)(Sense) went to install and after reboot count down nothing happened. I then, quick rebooted and didn't see a diff in Software info. anyone know what I should be looking for?

Been searching all day for a lead on what the next step is, but have found nothing. Anyone that figures something out or can add anything please do.

I'm rooted with the stock rom (s-off), bloatware removed. I got the update notification this morning. Unfortunately i was running late for work so I hit install, threw the phone in my pocket, and didn't check it again until later. Don't see anything different that i can tell, not sure if it even applied. Maybe it was just a PRL update or something?

Same here and I have the stock 2.2 with S-off..nothing happened even after the reboot, at least I don't get the nagging update message anymore. Am I really missing much from this OTA update? Last thing I want is more Verizon bloatware on my phone.

I read on xda that they is nothing interesting. There is a vcast app in an xda thread which is part of this OTA.

I recently got a certified used Incredible, it came with the OTA installed. I rooted and everything is fine.

That is correct, if you try to install it with Clockwork or Amon Ra, the install is going to fail.

Is there anywhere we can just download this OTA and update it in Clockwork?

Swype beta was a trap!

I loved swype, it made everything so much easier. I always used a hacked version on my evo because it wasn't supported on it (now i see they have it with OTA update), so when i heard the beta was reopened again i was ecstatic. I thought "hey I can get an updated legit version of swype!" So i registered and set everything up, but when i get to trying to install it tells me "Your device already has swype through the OTA update!" Since I'm rooted and on a custom rom, I couldn't get the OTA update. So i just said whatever and uninstalled the swype installer and and reloaded my previous hacked swype.
Now when I try to use swype it says "Swype trial is over please download new version". Now mind you, i've been using my version of swype for months without any problems, but when i tried to install from the beta, its now detecting it and blocking from using it.
I went from loving swype to hating it more than anything else on my phone, including FC's
/end rant

Uh... it's not that big a deal, calm down and get the APK.

It should only fc when you have the wrong version and it's not hard to get a new swype. Just ask the subscribers from my channel lol

Unless you haven't noticed, 2.4.44 doesn't work anymore on any phone. I noticed it this morning.

I'm in the same boat - I'm running MynWarm and the beta version expired last night around midnight for me. I downloaded the new beta installer and it said that Swype for Evo was included in the latest OTA - doesn't help me at all since I'm not running stock.
Does anyone have (or can they post) the APK that came with the latest OTA? I really need my swype back...

The version of Swype you are trying to install has expired all the hacked versions have an experation date along with the beta versions. You need to get the new APK with a later experation date or go to a rom based on the 3.70.

I found a working Swype for my Unrevoked 3 rooted Evo at Droidappz site.
Works just fine....Thank you. I'm welcome.

Soooo your complaining cause a hacked up version of Swype(warez) is giving you a hard time now that your trying to use the legal version? Maybe you should send that question to Swype and see if they could help you out lol.

or he can just uninstall the beta swype like I have and re-flash a 3.70 rom.
I tried deleting the apk from the 3.70 rom itself but it didn't work.. and the beta swype kept force closing. So be gone with you beta swype! The swype with the rom is the same exact thing man

Wow, how amazing the ignorance. First, a billion people complain that they can't get swype cause it's beta only.
Then Swype goes OFFICIALLY live on the Evo, and people start to complain about that.
For one, there are exactly three roms available at the moment that have the OTA update and Swype built in.
For two, don't complain that you can't get it cause you're rooted. There are always going to be pros and cons to rooting or not.
Get over yourself.

LOL, I tried the same thing and recieve the same error. Since I am part of the Beta testers I figured the new one that was released is newer than the one on 3.70 Roms. But since I could not get it to install even after removing it from the system/app dir I gave up and just using the one on the 3.70 rom.

The reason why y'all get taht error is because they are not going intsall the latest version of Swype for you when you have the option to get the latest version through the OTA. Just go back and push the latest version of Swype from the OTA and just wait for the next update.

That's a crappy situation and in this case I'm inclined to say just grab the Swype apk from the latest OTA ROM. You can just download the version posted on this forum, open up the zip and navigate to /system/apps (I think that's it) and grab it.

I'm not too sure about the supposed netflix fix with the htc update. As far as I can tell the netflix app is gone from the market. Suppose I take the update and decide I want to reset my phone to factory. I obviously can't install netflix again because its not even available to be download from the market anymore.

if by factory you mean unroot dont do it just wait the update will be here and netflix should show up again

No I mean to do a factory reset. Lets say I have unrooted gingerbread update from before and I update to this upcoming one. I decide to do a factory reset to go back to OEM state. I will obviously have to reinstall my apps again from the market. But the netflix app is no longer available to be download from the market. Which leaves me to believe that there is a problem on Netflix's end.
Another thing is that I am on Froyo now and I am still having problems with Netflix. It doesn't seem like Netflix's problem is limited to gingerbread.

Had the NetFlix app already installed from prior use, and it actually never stopped working for me. Went to open this morning got prompted for the "New Version of application is found" Clicked ok and get "Not found" The requested item could not be found. Confirmed not working.
NetFlix must be playing with the update. If I hit "Cancel" it will sit at a White screen and Netflix will load.

Rooting and debloating Froyo

So froyo is leaked and installed and all is fun (seems to run a bit slower than 2.1 to me, especially during start up) but I have the problem of A TON of bloatware.
Anybody played around yet? I've frozen a few of them but unsure of what all is good and bad.
How about root? The newest version Z4Root does not work, it stalls and you have to force close it.

got a link to the 2.2 download?

Hi!
Well, I made some post with the info that good people make available and that I collect to try to make it easy,in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211799
I already made the update since 2 days ago and very happy, in my case I found very usefull that at leats by now some usefull 2.2 tricks are very welcome like move some apps to sdcard and few other, but as new detail in my case the 2.2 update is detecting one of my 2 batteries as non original moto, and refuse to charge it, but in 2.1 it works perfect and could be charged...
So, for me is stable and hope that could be better the final release (if it may really happen, since Moto put down the page about the release.... :-/ so could be lucky that at least we have this beta, for possible future roms)
Best regards!

Froyo runs faster and it has a great file explorer built in. The only thing that sucks is that there is even more bloatware from AT&T
I have the phone unlocked and in Canada so my unlock stayed and unknown sources is still available after the upgrade
hope there are some edits soon they get rid of all the bloatware, there are legitimately 12 bloatware apps from AT&T on the phone now.
The interface is a little bit sleeker and the boot up of the phone is now silent, which i love since the old boot up was a bit to loud.

xaser, your guide is what I followed to do mine and I really apprecite your time to put it up. Worked great.
Somebody said the full update is up on moto, anybody got a link? I couldn't find anything.
No I have not tried an older version.
Anybody had any luck with a root on the beta? Or the full version either one?
Are we sure this "beta" isn't the full version? The Android Version in About Phone just says 2.2.2 instead of 2.2.2b like i'd expect with a beta.

I didn't need to reflash, I used RSD to downgrade. Since I had my phone rooted. then I just ran the official upgrade and it's been running like butter for me, real smooth.
I've searched all over for info on rooting froyo on the Flipside and it looks like it's going to take awhile because they locked the phone down tight and the few guys that have rooted the phone have started experiencing problems with the phone because of the root.
