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.

Summer is not over until froyo stops vaporizing upon contact with my driveway.

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."

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...

was going to ask the same thing...any proof

Got prompted that there is a system update just now, but won't download it until there is a confirmed root. Also I don't know if its froyo, im still on the original released rom...could be di18 that its just now bugging me about, as it is the first time ive seen an update message. Im in knoxville, tn.

Trolls will troll....

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.

Maintenance Update

So, apparently, last week's maintenance update for the Fascinate broke the ability to see and write to the SD card from your PC. We're scheduled to get a maintenance update today. If anyone installs it and gets this issue, please let the rest of us know... Thanks.

I thought it was supposed 2 come tomorrow

Yeh, you're right... lost track of days ...

Lmao, i know what you mean
I hope tomorrow comes soon, my phone is still toast Do you think that you (when the update comes around) could send it to me, so that i could flash it? idk if the process is simple or not, Bubby323 knows though Thank you in advance!

It'll probably just be an OTA... no real way to pull the ROM

Has anyone gotten the update yet?

I read an article talking about how manufacturers are not releasing promised updates. By doing so, people end up buying new devices. I can easily see that being the case for the Continuum.

I was promised by Verizon that i would have 2.2 on my phone "eventually". If Samsung doesn't hold up on the whole "eventual" part, i am going to be pissed... And have a long talk with my Verizon Rep... Maybe cash my phone in for a Fascinate due to their lying, which has 2.2 (with a rom)

Yeh, i'm not sure they'll let you complain about not getting an update, then switch to another phone that hasn't gotten the same update.

When are we getting the 4G upgrade for the Verizon Xoom?

anyone know when are we getting the 4G upgrade for the Verizon Xoom?

I would assign a high probability that someone knows, yes.

I heard for sometime May/June but I have not seen an official answer anywhere. Same with the official update to enable the microsd slot. Very silent and very irritating.

Considering they already have our money and most people are way out of the return period why should they care??!

I read somewhere that it will be this summer.

I'm getting tired of waiting around for Motorola to update this thing. I would rather have a series of smaller updates that fix things progressively rather than one big update that I have to wait around for.
I could care less about the LTE upgrade. I just want bluetooth fixed. Official forums said the update was coming at the end of March......
Great device. I use it constantly. But it needs some fixes.

I remember the initial release saying it would be about 3 months after it was released. So hopefully we will get it at the end of may. For most of what I do the 3g is fine, and I wont have 4g in my area until closer to the end of this year anyway. I would like the SD card to work but not ready to root this thing, yet...

Smaller updates = more updates = higher risk of bricks = less profit when said bricks happen.

yep you are right, that's why i put my cotsco receipt in the vault, in 35 days if there are no signs of updates, it is going back!!

I'm suprised this hasn't been announced yet..

False advertising
At what point does it become false advertising? When is it a legal issue to where this opens Motorola open for class action lawsuits for not having advertised features that are not there and without any official communication of when they will be available???? I know I bought my Xoom based on the 4G feature. When are they held responsible for this?

Thread cleaned. Keep this on topic and friendly, or infractions and bans will be issued. Thank you,

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.

It's probably just one of the standard updates like the htc security patch.

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...
