These were the same type of "reports" we saw when we waited for the release of the phone. they all said "march 21st, march 22nd, CTIA conference we'll here something". yea, then over a month later, after hearing NOTHING, the phone finally released.
the froyo builds have been failing testing at VZW recently, so at this point, based on their testing time frame and release time frame, i'd say we're about 3 to 4 weeks away from getting the OS update, once they start testing the next one (whenever that is), and pending it passes. that's usually about how long a standard test cycle lasts, unless they get a build with very little in the change log and they might shorten the cycle.

For those of you who havent read yet 2.1 SDK is released http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/01/android-21-sdk.html . Who knows maybe they will play the dog and pony show for us and release it for our phone on the 21st... 2.1 .... anyways heres to hopeing the 22nd update is this one.
Thanks for the update...
Lets hope that January 22nd will be a day to celebrate...
When I picked up my Desire/Eris last week (giving my abused Xperia a break) the Verizon girl was very happy to tell me and my girlfirend that we should get this phone, because we would be getting a 2.0/2.1 update this month!
She said that she recieved this via internal email....
So more Hearsay! lol

I personally can't wait for 2.x but should we stick to 1.5 and see if something like the moto exploit will work on the eris?

That's what I've been waiting to hear news of, but since no one is having any luck with exploits in the current version, who knows, there might be a flaw in the new software somewhere. But, judging from how long we've already been waiting for the software's release, it's highly unlikely.
I have heard a little rumour that the Orange 2.1 QMR is being released right about... NOW.
Expect the update soon people!
Part 1 is out OTA now. Part 2... not so much.
Got part 1 of the OTA earlier this evening, I just set my clock forward to 26/01/11 and started a mobile network connecton and within 15 seconds it prompted me for the update.
It installed fine and now I am on Rom 2.73.61.92 from 2.73.61.66 and I have the check for updates option which will save me having to push the clock forward next time.
Just done that too. I swear when I first booted my phone that option was available. Will try the 2.1 official when it arrives, seeing as I can't find any way of flashing a rom using a Macbook.
No update here, despite plenty of date switching, and trying both WiFi and hsdpa connections. Any tips?

Did you get the update to 2.73.61.92 by setting your phone's date to 26 Jan 2011?
I'm still on 2.73.61.5 - is the .66 update required to do the OTA one?
just to confirm, you definately have to be on .66 (the february download-and-install update that didn't seem to do much) to get the OTA update. As soon as I did that, it came up instantly (in fact, I had to put it off until I could give it my wifi details)

Only got my Hero last week, was fresh out of the box. Fingers crossed that the rumoured update isn't BS...
I also forwarded the date to Jan/27/2011 and immediately got the update screen. The phone downloaded the 3MB update and installed it after a reboot that took 3 minutes. Now waiting for the 2.1.

Cool, will hold off flashing a ROM until end of next week then. One stupid question, does 2.1 offer multi-touch support? I'm itching to give some emulators a go.
Well, I decided to upgrade my POS WinMo Touch Pro 2 and turn to the "Darkside" with Android. My gf has an Android phone, and I can't put it down. After seeing all the free or low cost apps compared to Windows' high dollar, non existent app collection, I had to make the change. I'm waiting for them to start shipping the X's out on the 3rd, so hopefully I'll have mine soon enough. I feel like I'm counting down until Christmas like a 5 year old, although I'm sure some of you have had WinMo before and can understand my anxiousness to have an Android.
First question about the X; are there any updates I should get first thing? I know with WinMo you lose all your apps when you upgrade the firmware so I'd like to get it all done ASAP.
Second; I know it hasn't been announced "officially" yet, but when can I expect 2.2 to be available to the X? I know there are rumors going around, but what is the best guess?
Thanks!
I just got my droid X a couple of days ago and there was an over the air update available. As for froyo 2.2, last thing I read said late august.Hopefully no delays on that.
1. Once you get your DX there should be an OTA update waiting to you like irod87 stated.
2. Froyo (2.2) should be dropping late August early September due to the difference in hardware on the DX, requires more froyo testing by Verizon before releasing.
*Sidenote: once froyo hits, you'll never have to worry about losing your apps, froyo backs up your apps.*

Ok cool, thanks for the heads up.
Have they fixed the "unlock phone" lag? I have heard, and seen it on a store model, that there is a slight jump/delay when you unlock the screen. Does that OTA update resolve that or is that expected in 2.2?
congrats on getting the X, first thing I would do is root the phone, then all the phone begins... There should be an OTA 2.2 update for your new phone sometime in august most likely the 2nd weeks.
According to this website, there have been multiple rumors from independent sources at MWC stating that Gingerbread is supposed to drop OTA by the end of this week or early next.
Any truth to this or do you guys call shenanigans?
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2011/02...e-to-hit-nexus-ones-within-the-next-few-days/
I'll believe when I see it.
I'm afraid this rumour is even less reliable than @googlenexus' tweet in the early December days...
Same.
10sames.
I really want to believe this one as there are multiple devices set to launch with Gingerbread, and it's been long enough. Yeah, I am running CM7 but I want it fully optimized with the OTA drivers.
Here it goes again...
I will believe it when I see it.

Eventually, one of these "here we go again" threads has to be the real one.
so wait, you said it might come this week, or next week.
so it might come in the coming weeks....and yeah this is what google has been saying all along.
let's see what happens next month.
They said "next few weeks" and that was 3 months ago, so following that logic, "next few days" will be 3 weeks
keep waiting...

Gingerbread ota will drop the day I purchase a babana shaped galaxy s.
Been running gingy on my N1 for some time now...In CM7 form.
BREAKING NEWS #mwc11: "#Nexus One #Gingerbread OTA": "In the next few DAYS".That STILL is:From this very instant up to the rest of eternity.
I understand all of the scepticism, but, with the slew of devices announced at MWC that are set to launch with Gingerbread, doesn't it make sense that the Nexus One should receive the update soon?
With the passion branch alive and well in AOSP, it's highly likely that the Nexus One is still a viable handset for Google.
I did wonder if we'd see an OTA during MWC. It seems to be a good opportunity for Google to promote Android with all these new devices that are lined up to launch with Gingerbread.
Can only hope at this point i guess

Good. I would propose, you just go and buy it right now, so we can have our Gingerbreadz
Well i've played around with some roms here, some mostly work and some are still a work in progress. I'd prefer to get a polished Gingerbread whenever they decide to push it out, not really rushing this one.
I'd wait for 2.4
After using some of the AOSP built roms out there, and seeing how they are a bit wonky, I am perfectly happy waiting for a polished release. If that means 2.4 with all the bugs and fixes, then so be it.
At the end of the day, even though people who own the n1 are desperate to continue to feel like they are up to date, the fact is that 2.2.2 is functional as hell, and there isn't much that is going to be augmented by the release of 2.4. Honestly, it will look different, im sure it will have a few improvements but the functionality will still be the same. It is not the type of jump we saw going from 2.1 to 2.2
The easter bunny will be delivering it to your doorstep....
FFS, rumors or not, I'll believe it when someone ACTUALLY gets an OTA for 2.3.
First off let me say I Do Not intend for this to be another whine thread....
Just wanted to reach out and see if anyone has had any signs of an update. I recall from one of the previous now closed threads started one user mentioned the 5th as being a possible date. Though seemingly arbitrary date the 5th is here.
People chime in if you get the notification!
Nothing for me yet.
It probably won't come out until the new Google phones do. I know it's difficult for flashaholics, but be patient.
Now I'm waiting for the September security update for Marshmallow, maybe it will be late too. They seem to be in a huge work.
This thread is the best sign.

That's what intended mine to be, but it went south so fast! Lol no sign for me yet, I'm hoping maybe by tonight. It's REALLY behind said release date. Staying optimistic!
This is the only sign from Google I have seen.
Absolutely notting here. Not even the sept security update.
There will be a September in 2017,too
If I'm remembering the same post, a user speculated that the update would be tied to the September monthly security update. That seemed like pure speculation. I hope the updates are posted soon but I don't think today will be the day, since it is already the afternoon and a business holiday. Hope I'm wrong!
Hope it's soon.

Maybe tomorrow then, I forgot it was a holiday. What gets me is how they got everyone all riled up that it was gonna be in August, and it's gonna be out at the same time haha
Yeah Im ready for the official build too, this NPD90G preview wants me to want more, or at least some minor fixes.
No updates.............there will be speculations.
No speculations.....probably updates.
From what I've heard Qualcomm needs to do some driver upgrades for full Android N Support. If that is the case, it would explain why Google hasn't released the update yet, they simply can't until Qualcomm delivers. I can imagine Qualcomm has their hands full at the moment with all the smartphone companies out their requesting driver updates to support Android N as well.
I don't have any references for this, as I read it in a post somewhere but don't remember where. Don't take my word for it. But of course it would be interesting if someone could confirm or deny this.
I don't expect the update any time soon, but at least the latest beta runs very smoothly on my device. Can't complain at the moment.
Thats what has confused me DP5 runs well so id have thought it was near release quality but I guess not with the update taking so long. As far as qualcomm surely google should be the highest priority for drivers/updates given that they build the entire base that all other android phones base off? So an N driver for a specific SoC should work for all devices using that SoC?
I'm pretty satisfied with the Uber N ROM as is.
What @onemandivision said is correct, driver updates are critical. It's not just the kernel and the android base.
I'm a little confused by the delay though since it is already clear that phones on chips older than snapdragon 800/801 won't get nougat (ie 65-70% of all android phones according to some surveys), so there should be very few drivers to update/fine tune? Am I wrong?
