I turned my Hero on for the first time in months and the official update to 2.1 thing popped up (I'm still on 1.5 since I bought a Desire awhile back and haven't used the Hero), so I figured I might as well update it, so I downloaded the update and I was right in the middle of doing something so I clicked "remind me later" instead of "install now", and it hasn't reminded me. Is there any way to initiate the install now?
Hi there
Try moving the date few weeks/months in the future
hope this helps

I got my OTA update today, unfortunately something went wrong. I told it to install now, and the screen with the android and caution symbol showed up. After 10-15 minutes I hit the power button. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to wait for that screen to clear or if that screen wasn't a good sign. Well hitting power took me to recovery and said that there was an error with the install.
What did I do wrong. Was I just supposed to wait longer? I had previously rooted my phone with unrevoked, but was running the stock ROM, should I have unrooted it? Was it some other error?
Any insight into what happened so when the update comes back around I can do it right. Also is there anyway to get the OTA update back, or do I just have to wait patiently again.

You can not update a rooted phone. Go to my post on updating 2.2 made easy and you canupdate to 2.2 and reroot the phone. This is the OTA update.
I'm sort of in the same boat. I had rooted with unrevoked and was running cyanogenmod. I reverted back to stock (retaining root). I received the OTA notification, it downloaded and started installing, but showed the <!> with the android.
I thought...ok...I'll return back completely to stock (no root) and now I'm sitting waiting for another OTA notification.
It's been three days now, and still no notification. I've tried checking for updates so many times that I've lost count.
Does anyone know whether or not a failed update gets another OTA notification? -or- why the software shows up-to-date when it's still at 2.1u1?
Thanks
Either take it to Verizon for them to push it onto the phone or use one of the methods here.

I got the OTA notification letting me know an update was available. I ignored it because after reading about all the horror stories here on XDA I didn't want to have a bricked phone. So I went ahead and successfully applied the JI6 update manually using Mini Kies as described on Samsung's website. However, I still get the update notification like before! How do I get rid of it?
I couldn't find a way to get rid of it, so I just ran it and planned on having to redo the update via odin. It applied just fine however.
Interesting. One of my theories is that I could go ahead and apply the OTA but when it downloaded and did a check against the current version it would give up and move along. Do you think that's what happened? How long did the "update" take? Did you notice a new update.zip file or other telltale signs it attempted an update? Were you rooted?
Thanks!

Just go ahead and do the update, it will download it but won't actually update because it will determine you are on the latest version. Then the message won't appear anymore.
I updated mine via Odin, then click on Update on the OTA notification, and it did not do a full update (much too quick and did not lose root, like I did when I Odin it).
I was bugging out over the same question... but the notification seems to have gone away out of the blue (took between 4 and 5 days).
I may have accidentally missed the 'postpone' button and applied at some point... can't be totally sure... but it's possible the notification will eventually just go away...
anyway it's comforting to hear nothing bad happens =). Thanks for asking the question!
[EDIT]: The icon will deceptively disappear then reappear, apparently. Applied the update this time. It rebooted the phone and appears to have done no damage. Phone is still rooted with RyanZa's OCLF.
It appears mine went away mysteriously as well. I did say postpone 1 day, but it still had the notification in the top with a little clock next to it. When I woke up this morning, it was gone. Thanks for the answers everyone!
I just purchased the A500 and have successfully updated 7.014.01 and then when I try and update to 7.014.02 I get Update Failed message. Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it? Tech Support recommends that I send it back, but it will take 2-3 weeks and it will be a royal pain and will be my last resort.

I'll assume this is the 3.2.1 update as it usually comes in 2 update files.
I'll guess your 2nd update download was corrupted somehow. Probably a good thing, as some people had bricked tab's as a result of a failed update.
If your tab runs fine, don't worry about it, and ignore the update. They'll probably just give you another tab, and you'll go through the same thing again.
Not really a whole lot in the 3.2.1 update anyhow. Only thing I noticed, is a slight difference in screen sensitivity and just a touch smoother in the app drawer. Other than that, no other real performance gains.
In a few months, they'll push the ICS update. So it will all be moot.
But, if you really want to do this small update, you'll have to root, install CWM recovery, then flash a rooted update manually. I think TimmyDean posted these awhile back, but not sure.
Or, you can just flash a 3.2.1 custom rom.
But if your tab runs ok, and you don;t want to come to the dark side, then forget about it and wait for ICS.
I got my tablet about 10 days ago, and registered it about 5 or 6 days ago. I leave it on and plugged in every night with wifi on, and despite doing manual checks for updates all the time, I'm stuck on 7.006.01_COM_GEN1, which is 3.2, not 3.2.1 - it simply says no update is available. I called Acer support and they said I needed to just wait a little while more, but this update rolled out a long time ago. How long will I need to wait for the update, is this normal?
Thanks!
As the same problem i've.
Alredy try to restore different image but after OTA update i stuck with 3.2 firmware !
I called ACER and they requide me 50€ to restore the system or wait the next update (ICS) in April.
At the moment i'll try the new ICS ROM leaked from ACER and it appear work very fine !
If it makes you feel any better, after doing some digging it appears as though the problem may hopefully resolve itself after a few weeks, it seemed to for a couple of people with the same problem I did some looking on.
Hey all,
I installed the 4.3 ota update back when it was first released in August, and it was rooted, lost root and rerooted. Nothing else I have changed.
Today is the 3rd time since updating back then has my phone recieved the ota prompt. First time I just went through and it restarted. 2nd time it gave a boot error and this time it just restarted the os. Like I said it doesnt come often but I just wanted to know if anyone has had this issue and Im going to assume I need to wipe the phone and a stock image?
