Ota release

Just got off the phone with verizon they stated that they will be sending out the ota for the droid x and droid tomorrow and not the incredible. When I asked when it would come out they said latter this summer. Strait from tech support.

Lol, and monkeys might fly out my butt. No offense, but most of us have learned not to believe anything a verizon rep says, regarding update release dates.

The EVO got their's because Sprint didn't want their top phone to be overshadowed by the Droid X and Droid 2. Luckily for us, our phone is very similar to the EVO so we can be sure our phone is not far behind.

Only the Droid is getting the OTA as of now. Not the Droid X

From what I've gathered though, the OTA is going to bork root. Honestly my 8/01 is working perfectly, except for twitter widget, which force closes, which is ok, because i hate twitter.
Even if it did come tomorrow i don't think I'd install for a few weeks.
Note to Verizon: it IS the end of the summer, JERKS!

Yeah i agree but the faster it comes out the faster developers find out how to root it thanks to xda thank you for all your hard work.

funny thing is that the rep didn't make a false statement. if it doesn't come tomorrow, it will inevitably have to come later this summer. it can't come sooner this summer. or right now this summer.
But! this thread has got me thinking on some threads that I think I'll start ...
1. "i just got off the phone with verizon tech support and he spent 10 minutes trying to find a "touchscreen sensitivity calibration" menu because "it would help with my proximity sensor malfunction".
2. "i just got off the phone with verizon tech support and they told me that I had to replace my Dinc with a refurbed Droid because refurb dincs wouldn't be in stock for a month"
3. "i just got off the phone with verizon tech support for the 2nd time today and Surprise! refurb dincs are in stock and my replacement is on the way."
4. "i just got off the phone with verizon tech support and he thought froyo was frozen yogurt."
bottom line: don't listen to tech support. just tell them what to do.

What? Summer's not over until football is in full swing. More scientifically, when we reach Autumnal Equinox. September 23rd to be exact.

First regular season pats game sept. 12th!!!! THAT is the end of summer!!!!

Looks like Motorola might know a litle bit more then your Verizon rep does.

Bear in mind that VZW tech support knows just about as much as anyone on the forum... perhaps even less. They are not privy to the information, so they pass along whetever rumor they've heard. Those that are "in the know" don't deal with customers.

it's also not over until I don't have to worry about heat stroke on the golf course. or until i no longer have to mow the grass every 4 freakin days! seriously, i mowed on tuesday ... 2 storms and 3 days later it's halfway up my calf. very disheartening.

FYI: I read that the Droid got root after the 2.2 OTA via that new market app.
Also, I know the Incredible is already the better device but/so why update the Droid first? Makes no Sense to me. First the shipping delays, now they want us to wait while the old ass Droid gets updated. I guess VZW figures they already have gotten the Incredible users to sign new contracts, so they aren't going anywhere.
Also I sent a tweet to HTC asking 'when are we getting updated because I'm tired of running these buggy leaked ROMs.'
They tweeted:
"A small reminder that when SW updates are ready, HTC or your carrier will notify you. Unofficial software can create future issues."

No and they said every Vibrant owner would have it by the end of the month. Hopefully we will get it soon.

with Bionix 1.6 kicking so much ass and making the gps perfect I don't see a reason for caring about the OTA

OTA's are staged out in batches, not all at once. T-Mobile has sold about a million of these phones at this point (given that Samsung claims 3 million SGS Phones sold in the U.S. this is entirely likely). They are most definitely NOT going to update a million phones at the same time.
The update for YOU could come now, tomorrow, next week, or before the end of the month. Sitting here in a thread hitting refresh hoping for vital info about the OTA is a complete waste of time.
You have four options...
1). Wait for the OTA, which will arrive whenever it arrives
2). Frankin Twiz, built on JI6
3). Bionix 1.6, built on JI6
4). leaked unmodified JI6 firmware
Options 2,3,4 will get you JI6 today, with the associated risks of taking the management of the update into your hands. Option 1 is the official option which requires nothing but patience. Decide.

Wonder if I could call T-mobile and naively ask about a GPS problem and see if they will go ahead and push JI6 to me?

Nope nothing in WA I sure hope I won't have to wait til the end of the month....

Ha! You think customer care or tech care have that much power? The people in tmo who do, ssg data, don't take any calls and if they want to, never actually have to talk to the customer at all. They work solely on trouble tickets and work orders. The highest you may get by calling tech is atsg, the people who submit trouble tickets to them.

Got mine today but now my phone maybe bricked. Left it alone after it downloaded and installed the update but it won't go pass the loading stage. Now I'm trying to unbrick it.

Did you have lagfix installed? That could be the problem.
On another note, why are so many people waiting patiently for the OTA? Just flash one of the leaks. Bionix 1.6 is well worth it! And you can always ODIN back to stock!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

It looks like it bricked my GF's phone also, now im sitting here trying to wipe it. Hers is all stock except it is rooted, no ROMs or lag fixes etc.

I got off the phone with tech support at T Mobile a few hours ago and here is what they related to me. Your inability to get checkin succeeded may or may not be usual or normal, they have no clue and the OTA is scheduled to run from 10-7 thru 10-31. has anyone else or does anyone else have the same inability to get feedback from the checkin code? This is the only phone I have had that the checkin failed to register except for a MT3g which they promptly replaced.

got the update today... no problems so far...

Just got the 2.2 (froyo) OTA (Over the Air) update!!

Well looks like its finally rolling out. I just got the update down here in arkansas, curious to see how many others have already received it.

any proof? sorry to be that guy but...

Got prompted that there is a system update just now, but won't download it until there is a confirmed root.

You can't post crap like this without proof. Give us a break, you say something, but we are supposed to believe you just because you say it? Sounds more like trolling since you can't take a picture and post it.

odd how the OP signed off

I doubt it..us getting an update before AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon is hard to believe...I would be willing to believe a possibility of an OTA..but for the OTA to have Froyo is an eyebrow raiser >.>
I mean last OTA was a month ago..and if Froyo is on Nov 29th an OTA in between is a possibility.

You can use shootme, screenshot, a digital cam or phone, a webcam, a polaroid and a scanner...
If you can't avail yourselves of any of those options, I can't bring myself to take you seriously.

Mines just di18...i thought I took the otacerts file out....guess not?

I'm pretty sure if this were true there would be at least 3 pages with more than 2 confirmations. Could be wrong though, I've been hopeful for almost 2 months. Should be here soon. A lil proof would be nice.

Yeah, I'm doubtful of the validity myself.

I was at the sprint store today picking up a Samsung intercept and was told not until late november early december. I honestly am not going to expect it until February next year.

It seems that the thread is only for trolling purposes. If you guys don't mind, I am closing this one down.

Want to get froyo without rooting? I have it

Call tmobile, tel them you sammy your update, give them your iemi number, and within 48 hours volla, you got your 2.2 people, now I just hope that we don't get screwed with 2.3....

If your imei gets pushed ahead, and that means you will receive froyo in 48 hours, that would mean froyo is starting today or tomorrow. That's the part I don't believe. Samsung is leaving us with a phone with broken gps, if they won't even make our phones work why would they bother with software? Samsung obviously couldn't care less.
I know samsung sold a donkey load of SGS phones, but I want to know how many of those purchasers have sold it or are otherwise dissatisfied to the point of never buying another samsung phone again. 2 of the 3 SGS owners I know have sold theirs, and the 3rd wants to

For grins & giggles I called our dealer support line and asked about this. Actually spoke with a customer service rep and a supervisor. Neither of them have heard of adding the IMEI to any list to push the FROYO update. The only push they'd heard about was the previous system update.
Of course, like others have said. You can always get someone who just doesn't know what they're talking about, but I'm gonna go with them on this. Now if you get the update and prove me wrong then that's good news for all.
Keep trying though, someday you might get your FROYO without root...
I'll stick with my rooted Vibrant.

Man just root your phone. Its not hard and its not hard to remove if you decide you don't like it.
The Pro's easily out weigh the Con's.

This thread is hilarious. T-Mobile would never send updates to anyone's phone via a phone call. The update will only be available by going to the update firmware option on your phone and downloading it.

think.
A OTA sometimes bugs and people don't get the update.
So they call t mobile and tell them to push it to your phone. I had to do that before for 2.1.1
But I just them my phone number and they confirmed I had a galaxy s phone so they sent it within 24 hours and I got it.
They actually do this.
I also think there's a reason walmart and samsung websites say 2.2 but its going to be for everyone not just the ones who call

Just try it and say your sorry after, their starting to roll out the update, but just call and have them push it through,i have 30 hours left to receive it, they do have it because I was confirmed by samsung, then I called tmobile to tell them what I was told, so just try it and thats it

Sprint apparently has new update testing???

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/377674#377674
According to a Sprint forum employee, it seems they are cooking up another update to fix their Sense reloading issues. The post didn't specify which EVO 4G phones were going to be included though. I wonder what else might be in this update. Can't wait for someone here at XDA to get their grubby hands on this update soon?

here on XDA we have had that problem fixed since about 2 weeks after release of GB

Probably just an update to remove CIQ

Just read an article on boy genius reports talking about the HTC vs. Apple lawsuit and it mentions that HTC has an update coming out real soon for the patent violating feature...maybe THAT has something to do with it? Figured I'd pass that on...Just my 2 cents/another angle to look at it.

I had a voice mail update yesterday or today (don't remember 15 hour days make things a blur).

I have a new shift coming in the mail. I will check out said updates and if they exist, I will get them posted. I have on my sdcard the .6 update that sprint pushed ota a few weeks ago. I agree with brando, its probably to strip carrier iq... Sprint made that a huge priority since so many people got mad...
