IE, by getting a text/notification on their phones and not downloading from the link...can you please post where you are and approximately when you received your notification?
I just want to see if there's any kind of a pattern.
I think some of us prefer to just wait for the notification, rather than download it and have to jump through hoops for one reason or another, and those that haven't gotten it are probably wondering why and when they might.
Thanks in advance.
I'll second that, but my theory is that the server might be going by date of purchase- oldest first... I got my G2 just shy of 2 weeks ago, live in CA and nothing yet-
Just download it and put it on the phone. There are no hoops... it's super easy.
you can follow the instructions in my OTA thread (which was apparently moved to Android Dev.)...
I was going to wait for the OTA update initially but I came to the conclusion that it was going to take a while before I received it...so I updated manually.
Very simple process, nothing can go wrong & you'll notice a great performance boost in the phone itself.

I agree took maybe 10 min to do it all.
i just did mine manually why wait till u receive the update.
in terms of finding out if some1 in ur city has gotten it and what not... as far as i knew from the g1 updates, they were sent out randomly. it didnt matter if u were the 1st person in the world 2 get the phone or last.
this is what i have heard and read from my g1 days. supposedly it was a random thing.
Just got mine about 5 mins ago....Long Beach, CA.

I got mine yesterday... very early. I preordered the G2 so... there might be something to that guess of date of sale. Who knows though? really, just download it from the link. Any newb can do it in like 10-15 minutes. no need to wait...
Its completely random. My wife and two friends got theirs on different days. I just said f it and manually updated

Got mine this morning Friday mornign around 8 or 9am in metro Atlanta
Can't you use the CHECKIN code to force the OTA? My wife just got the G2 a couple days ago, I did the checkin, and within minutes she received the OTA.

If I were T-Mobile, I would actually try to *ensure* that the OTA goes out in a geographically random manner. Geography would be the one of the *last* places I would look for any sort of pattern. It's probably done via IMEI #s.
When I checkin it just says it checked in and that's as far is it goes.

I checked in many times and it doesn't really help unless you have been out of service or had the phone off... it will come to you when its ready checking in doesnt really help any in my case... I checked in over and over and over... this morning on the way to work the update just came... made my morning!

It won't notify you of the OTA until it's done downloading it. To see if it's downloading, go to Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates. If the checkin works, you should see it downloading there.

This morning I woke up about 10 minutes early by a faint light on the floor, it was my screen on full blast lol, with the words, "Upgrade radio etc etc blah blah." O went ahead and click yes and accept and about 10-15 minutes later it was done.
Havnt noticed anything yet, I hope my once every 2-3 day radio loss will stopp happening. Ill drive home and when I get home my radio will be off (no reception) and airplane mode if off also, nothing has been triggered. Only way to get reception back is to restart. Since it only happens once every 2-5 days I dont consider it a big enough deal to bring in. Especially since i dont have dead pixels and i have a strong hinge.

Well, today is the date we had heard the OTA would begin to roll out. Whether it does remains to be seen.
If anyone sees an update notification, let us know here. Better yet, contact someone in #g2root or #g2-dev on IRC (freenode) so we can help you obtain the URL to the update. Keep in mind if you intend to help out, you should not accept the update before reaching out for guidance on extracting the URL.
Update:
8:22PM PST - Still nothing. Not happening today.
3:20PM PST - Still nothing.
12:23PM PST - Still nothing.
10:48AM PST - Nothing yet from anyone.
Keep the post up
and checked mine...nothing happens
I've been running *#*#checkin#*#* all morning, and nothing.
I'll keep you posted, and if I get an update, I'll share the goods!
Also, can we please be civil in this thread? The last one we had on this topic got shut down by the mods.
waiting patiently
Hope its true!
There wasn't an update last night?
This phone rebooted on its own about midnight. Had to reinstall two Widgets and a keyboard program.

For the sake of not having my data softcap adjusted I hope this rumor was just that.

Nothing here either. Wouldn't surprise me if we didn't get it today. Tmobile is never on time with their dates.
Sent from my HTC Vision G2
I don't recall TMO giving a date, official or otherwise. I was under the impression it was simply a rumor as to when the masses would receive it. It would be nice to get it, but it is like Christmas, etc... It will happen when it happens, all we can do is be ready... My $.02 worth...
It wasn't a date from T-Mobile. Just a rumor that halfway made sense at the time.
I would bet its a no go for today. Its already noon EST and no reports yet. Somebody would've got it by now if they were indeed rolling it out.
Time to put it out of my head again and concentrate on other things like...lunch! I'm starving, and beer would be nice right about now.

You would know if you got an update. Read the 10 million other threads on here if you want to discuss a random reboot. It has nothing to do with this rumored OTA.

thats just a flaw with the phone, mine reboots at least 2x everyday, walking thru a building on campus without signal, and then walking out of the building....
It reboots because of the signal. If your in a area you know you have no coverage just pop your phone into airplane mode.

I just bought my MT4G and have had it up and running for 9 hours now. It says I'm running Android 2.2, so I assume that means I have not received the OTA update yet. That wouldn't concern me, except my friend who got the phone the exact same time as me as already received the OTA notification. The only difference between the two phones is my friend's has been on Wi-Fi the whole time. Should that help, or is there something else I can do to request the update?
theres a thread on this, but U can't really do anything but wait. theres no rhyme or reason to when. Took my 3 days. doing *#*#checkin#*#* suppose to check for it, but didnt help me

After 48 hours you can call tech support and try to get on the batch push list. That will take up to 7 days, possibly. I just hit my 7 day period late last night -- still no update. Taking my phone in to swap it today since that was the next resolution the last call to tech support gave me.

Hmm that's discouraging. I'd really like to not have to bring my phone back in. Hopefully it shows up soon. If it hasn't within 48 hours, I'll call tech support. Thanks for the info.
It's surprising that my buddy got his update within a few hours and while connected to Wi-Fi. Cellular data wasn't working yet because his account hadn't been provisioned correctly, yet he still got the update before me!
You can force the update yourself now so it doesnt really matter either way... if you just want the update and not root just do the first half and stop when it gets into the rooting part... but the only reason i can think of for you wanting the update badly is so you can root it :/ but maybe not... anyway heres the instructions:
[GUIDE] Forcing update 2.2.1
hope that helps
just checked for updates on my fascinate as part of my weekly routine, but it started downloading and said download failure - network error. any help. im anxiously waiting a working gps galaxy s device before i spend the money on the car mount. plese help or any ideas just let me know.
Got the same thing last night at about 2am. Now it says there are no available updates. Oh well

hey guys turns out after i failed update about 30 times i tried some tweaking and erased the radio file. when i spoke to verizon about the problems and to get a replacement phone the rep told me the update was for 2.2 and that they been waiting for it to come out. i dont know how true this is cuz i havent seen the fireworks yet online about the update, but ill find out today when i get the replacement device.
They have been telling people for months that 2.2 was out and you will receive a notification on your phone. I was told that when I bought mine on launch day. Its commonly referred to as bull Ishmael.

I had a similar problem. My phone downloaded it but failed the install. I called Verizon and they said this is a common problem. I am getting a new (Not refurb) shipped to me within a week. No harm no foul. I'd call Verizon.
My phone failed about 10 times to get DI01, and then one time it just worked. I recommend being stationary in an area with a few bars of 3G. Even then, it's a crapshoot. It doesn't mean your phone is defective or in need of replacement.
I consider myself lucky to have gotten a phone that has so far been free of the most of the problems that have plagued many of the galaxy s phones. Gps was fantastic on my phone until I flashed super clean v4... For some reason I often, though not always, had problems with gps not locking on. Location has always been spot on right from the start. Now with dj05 the gps issue has also been non existent.
The same was true when di01 came out. The OTA update was as smooth as could be. I was not rooted at that time.

Some of us can't install though and according to the Verizon tech I called it's certain MEID numbers so it's still not a bad idea to call I would say.
When I got DI01 it got partway through downloading a zillion times before finally working.
Ive flashed back to my factory images a few times after messing around (they were pre DI01...I keep forgetting to make current ones)
Every time I update it sucks and takes 5 to 10 tries
I think the servers are just teh suck.
Do you have to be stock in order to get the update? Every time I try to check for an update I get an FC. I'm currently running Stupidfast 1.1.23 Kernel & JT's Super Clean ROM. Also, is this update worth getting now or shall I just wait?

If your going the computer route let it do its thing. Once you tell it dont go, even if it doesnt move anywhere, let it go. It was on "checking for update" FOREVER! and then it was at 0% forever and then it jumped around and my computer kept saying new flash this and drivers that were installed and suddenly the phone restarted and it was done.
So let it do its thing it takes a long time.

It's odd, with all these people getting it - I am not getting it also. The software also tells me there is no available updates... Maybe they are just releasing it slowly over random IMEI's.. or maybe it picks up my location (Australia) ... Damn you, why do I have to wait for something that exists... it's torture
(Yeah, already applied the radio and getting 5-6mbit down, 1-1.5mbit up)
Can I update if im rooted and sideloaded enable and hdmi mod enable? Or will my phone brick?

Tried this and it worked! Thanks a ton man!
Motorola's software landing is extremely slow. When installing 4.1.57 through this yesterday prior to installing the beta update 4.1.83, I found it takes a loooooonnggg time even to search for updates, let alone install them. Also, I found it would not work (connect to my phone) unless I had USB debugging enabled, and mass storage selected. I also had to plug my phone in after I had started the update software on my PC. I did this all 3 times yesterday due to attempts to install 4.1.83 under different conditions, and it took longer to update to 4.1.57 than it did the flash back to 4.1.26.
Walked into Best Buy to pick up something else and I was with the kid and saw one sitting all by its lonesome... Figured what the hell.
It's now been 2 hours and I am about 60% of the way through the download of the first update...
If you don't have 384kbps dsl... It should be fast, updated and rebooted in maybe 2-3 minutes, I was using 20mbps comcast.

The update is rather small, I believe it's a delta update, not a full installation. It did literally take 3 minutes at most for download/installation/reboot... Mine was a retail unit from amazon. And was setup at ~8pm CST... 2 hours is way too long, is it actually making progress?

Yes it is definitely making progress. I tested the wire previously to ensure a good connection. No problems.
Well I figured I would give it a restarted (3 times a charm ,right) and see if i had any luck or just go to sleep and say screw it.
Seemed to have done the trick!
