I just bought mytouch i been using it for 6 hours. I know there has been ota update for it. How long did it take for you to get the update?i see there is no option to "check for update"
I've had mine for 9 days and still don't have the update. Is there a manual update?
Sorry guys, I got mine right after turning it on, I assume we mean 2.2.1?

i dont think there is manual update you should call tmoibile because you are suppose to get update in 48hrs
It is usually to the IMEI number not being updated in their system. So call the customer service and make sure they have the right IMEI for your new phone. Once they change it make a couple of calls and you should get it within 4-8 hours.
Well, I did an online chat with TMO and asked when I would get the update. They told me I would get it by the 15th. 10 minutes later I got the update. YAY!!
Please post questions in Q&A section.
I got mine 24 hours after I called support.
I waited almost 14 days with no updates. I had to exchange the phone because of something unrelated and my new phone got the update in less than 15 minutes after I inserted the sim and made a call.
I had my phone for over a week with no update. My t-Mo profile still showed my MT3G 1.2. I changed the phone on my profile to the MT4G, made calls that evening and the next morning, the update notification was present. Coincidence? Do not know but received the update.
MT4G rocks!!
Had my phone for about a month now, phone is correct on my plan and the IMEI is correct but I still haven't received the update.
got my update within 2 hours after i bought the phone.
I was literally pulling out of the T-Mo parking lot on the day of purchase (1st. day of release) and got the update notification.
I was just about in disbelief!
Im confused about the update my phone came in the mail today its already running 2.2.1. Do was that the update out is the update some thing else.I've had the phone on for six hours and haven't received any updates any ideas?

2.2.1 is the update... newer phones people are receiving are preflashed with it

Seriously? All you needed to do was look one post up and you would see that 2.2.1 was the update. A lot of phones only shipped with 2.2 on release day. So 2.2.1 IS the update.
I waited 2 weeks, became inpatient and forced the upgrade. My first android....so that process was perfect to help me understand framework, ADB and file structure.
Viva la Android!!!!

The date on my Vibrant kit box is 7/4/10 and I have Not received the OTA yet.
If you have please posts your box date and your serial # (is you know where it is?).
Would be fun counting up to your OTA release.
Secular
Does that really matter???
I am not trying to a butt or anything but I thought they were send out randomly.
No one knows for sure.
Just 3 or 4 post will deny or confirm.
Yeah pretty sure it's random still haven't gotten my ota yet and my date is 6/27/10
Your box date has nothing to do with when you will be getting updates.

I got mine before launch n didn't get the update. I know 3 ppl that got it yesterday n all 3 bought months after I did and at different tines. It does not go by date.
Date on mine is 7/10/2010 and I got the update yesterday, 10/8/2010. So the whole date thing is pretty irrelevant.
It would be better if you started looking by phone number or IMEI numbers.
I mean duh, all algorythms are numerical.....look for a significant number.
Dumb ass kids.
Just go and flash the official JI6 OTA with Odin, that is what I did, its the same as the T-mobile OTA.

09/03/2010 box date here with no OTA update yet. Agreed that there is probably some number based algorithm used to push the updates, but the box date is certainly not it. I also doubt it is really random over a large base such as their nationwide subscribers; among a smaller base, maybe.
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
So I woke up this morning with an OTA update pending. I updated thinking that tmo was finally pushing 2.2 over the air...
Well after the update, I am still on firmware 2.1-update1 but my baseband has been updated to KA2??
My kernel version is 2.6.29.
My build number is ECLAIR.UVKA6.
Why would they push this but no froyo?
The difference I have noticed is that my battery doesn't drain nearly as fast when my phone is on but not being used with the screen off (standby mode?).

If you were still on JI6, then you'd get this update. It's not Froyo.. Froyo was the KA6 update only available via Kies.
It has something to do with network compatibility, check the TMo forum.
So is Tmo ever going to release an OTA froyo? Or is the only source for froyo through kies?
That would be pretty weak if kies was the only source for update...
^I would say yes, because clearly they are still working on it since there are leaks post KA6. Hopefully it will be 2.2.1, they released KA6 to shut people up, imo
Yeh I got OTA last night around 11pm, so i thought finally it was a froyo, but then after, i realized it is still Eclair. But mine is Eclair.UVKA2, and 2.1-update1.
hmmm i wonder what it is though.
I'm running stock on my Vibrant and got the message about the KA2 update yesterday. It took about 5 minutes to download and install. Afterwards it was incredibly laggy: apps took forever to load and were slow once accessed, and couldn't get to the Market. Finally, an hour or so later and after 3 re-boots, the phone returned to normal behavior. Have yet to notice any features or performance differences, before vs. after.
So that's what that thing was. I'm running stock froyo.ka6, the device manager connected to server, thought I was getting an update but after 5 minutes it disappeared. My girlfriend's phone is eclair.ji6 and her device manager notification says there is an update pending, I told her to postpone it. She came over and it does indicate there is an update pending in the notification area but doesn't say which update. It would be nice if it would specify which update you were getting so you could decide if you want it or not. I'll update it tomorrow...
My wife got the update as well and I haven't noticed anything different at all. I rooted and flashed clockword after the OTA and there weren't any problems. Not sure what the hell the update was.
I returned my Sony Xperia X10 back to Best Buy today, (main reason being the 1.6 version and wanted bigger screen). At Best Buy, none of the phones are live, so you have to take the salesman word for it. He said the Streak "should" have the 2.1 version.
NOPE!!! I get home turn it on and check... it's version 1.6.
What is with Dell??? This is an year old version now.
If I can't update between now and two weeks when my 30 days is up... I'll take it back.
So far, I like this phone... but I'd like to get it to enclair or gingerbread.
You just have to go in settings-->info about the phone --> updates...
And now you have Froyo.
A friend of mines first streak broke (home button stopped working) so they sent him a new one. Last week I met up with him to update it and the OTA update wasnt there.
I messaged someone i know about dell asking if the update was pulled and he said its still rolling out over the next 2-3 weeks and there will be a blog post over at direct2dell soon.
BUT if you don't want to wait for it to reach your device, search on here and modaco and you can find the proper ota update.pkg. Just d/l it, put it on your sd card, reboot the streak, hold both volume buttons, select option 2 and it'll flash 2.2
Since its an official release from dell, it should work just fine (did so on my friends red streak). No flashing lights, no issues, and if dell releases another OTA it should receive it with no issues.
Under the Streak wiki, you should find a link to the 340 update to get Froyo 2.2 on your phone. You can't click on the link, you need to manually type it into the phone.
Or the official can be found here:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_340_14844_31.pkg
Again, type it in manually into your streak and it should update.
PdaNet won't work?
Hey guys! Thanks for the responses. I was on the road all day traveling from N WA to S OR for a funeral taking place Friday. Just got to looking here on the forum.
I'll keep the phone. I'm impressed with it so far just running 1.6
The screen is just GREAT. Much better than the Sony X10 I had.
My only complaint is getting PdaNet to work on it. Won't accept the modem driver. I had no trouble installing & using PdaNet with the Backflip, iphone3 and Sony X10 before this phone???
I'll update the version when I get back home Sunday.
I went into a large Verizon store in Salem to look around today and the manager asked what phone I had, and I told her that I had the Dell streak. She asked to see it and she was very impressed. She hadn't seen one before and said it looked better than anything she had in the store. That surprised me coming from the competition. Didn't try to sell me a phone at all.
Well, it is off to bed. I'll be hanging here once I get back home and I think I'm gonna like it here.

Yea, same here... Got my streak yesterday and it was on 1.6 too... the software update screen said the same "No Software Updates available at this time" too... so I gave Dell Mobility a call at 1 800 624 9896 and told them I'd like to receive the update link sent to my email address.... which it turns out was the 340 ver for AT&T which I went ahead and downloaded from the XDA Streak Wiki and transferred to the phone and renamed to Update.pkg and performed the update via the vol +/- and power buttons and selected update (#2).... 15 minutes later - Froyo goodness (such as it is under AT&T)
Next stop: rooting!
Just so you all know, I have confirmed that this update is OFFICIALLY on hold, and that is why nobody is getting it pushed to them. It was pulled according to Acer due to continued issues with HC3.0xxx and they have determine the release of HC 3.1 this month will fix the issues still existing in the update. This is from Level 2 support. They will confirm a target date of "sometime" this month.
So stop holding your breath and returning units for new ones!
Thanks for the update!
I have it
I received the OTA update to Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM1_GEN1 last week. No problems so far.
Thanks for the heads up.
But I want it now!
I got that update awhile ago Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM1_GEN1.
It did create an issue. Taking picture and having it save on external sd; after a reboot they get deleted from external sd. However if you rename it then it will not get deleted upon reboot.
I recently got the 1.139.04 update OTA last week I think, after having waited a month for any update at all and now the damn thing freezes every time I unlock the screen, the browser crashes with every second web page I load and the Android Market won't stay open long enough for me to download any apps. =/ I know this is a thread for the 1.141.07 update but I didn't want to make a new thread about update issues. I just hope that 3.1 fixes all this mess because these things aren't cheap in Australia and I don't want to switch to the Transformer like a lot of other people seem to be doing. I need that USB port. =(

Last tuesday (June 6th) I emailed Acer in the Netherlands why I am not receiving my 1.141 update. Yesterday I received an answer stating that I will receive it on June 15th.
Updates?
Can you explain to me how are made the updates at Acer for Iconia?
Because my tablet is late on the updates and I do not understand why.
Thank you
Can someone tell me the official forums for this tab...and where do you guys get all the update news from?
