OTA July 19th?(tonight)

has anyone gotten, heard, or know anything about the supposed OTA that is coming? supposed overall performance improvements, as well as better camera app, also supposed to fix that possible charging bug.

That should help you out, if you haven't seen it already. I may or may not hold off on the OTA because it may help with the Droid X rooting efforts. Chances are I'll get it though :-/

This is my first android phone so I'm just wondering...what's the procedure for an OTA update? Will the Droid X automatically prompt us when it becomes available or is there a manual action required?

automatic, so yes something will prompt you and if you don't click for it yourself in 3 minutes is the time frame i believe, it will automatically just do it. it will restart your phone after it downloads and then install and start up again.
i haven't got the update yet but i have been manually checking all day! i want it bad lol.

That's the general consensus across the forums so I think that's solid.

Installed no noticeable difference. Now we will let the clock start ticking for froyo. Tick. Tock. And so it begins. May e this was secretly a maintenance update for froyo. Vzw tweeted today that froyo for the dinc would b late july or early august. U don't think the are going to give it to someone other than their flagship phone first do u?

Did you try a system reset? Could also be your APN settings. You can Google to get the right ones.

[Q] Stock ROM EVO wrong time in clock.

Sorry if this has been posted before. I have searched first for the answer (cook for TP2 so familiar w/search first). My wife's EVO (that she doesn't allow me to touch because of my WinMo obsession) is showing wrong times at random; however, the lockscreen is correct. Has anyone heard or experienced this. I am not well versed in android until now that it benefits her lol. Thanks in advance.

What time does it say right now?
Location correct?

Sweet I thought it would have to wait till tomorrow night...

seems im stuck at 74% installing

Found out it was live through my uncle! He doesn't even know much about Android lol but he loves his GTab.

Mine is stuck on 74% install as well
Edit: it's starting to continue, but now stuck on 77%

Thanks for the heads up....This progress bar after the reboot is killing me!

At 86% currently. Mine also seemed to be on 74% forever.
Edit: @ 90% now

Anybody Else Having Navigation Issues?

For the past two weeks, I can't navigate, it keep saying searching for GPS. I'm on CoreDroid1.3.
I checked my friend's stock Android phone to see if hers works, it does the same thing. I'm wondering if Google is having issues in our area or what the heck?

Mine works well. Your phone only uses t-mobile's towers to get a coarse location, then refines it using satellites in SPACE. So I doubt it's google. Try running one of the myriad gps fix apps

Aren't easy fixes great?

Actually, when I searched and fixed the problem the first time, I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlab.gpsfix&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRyb2lkbGFiLmdwc2ZpeCJd
Because, I couldn't actually find Myriad GPS fix. The one I used spams ads. Which one are you using?

myriad:

1. a very great or indefinitely great number of persons or things.
2. ten thousand.
It's not the name of the app. I was using hyperbole to say there are a LOT of gps fix apps.

>_> Right... If I put in "GPS Fix" I get that particular one that spams ads. Do you know of one that doesn't spam?
