Automatic Updates?

Perhaps a silly question but do you need a SE sync account for automatic updates to be received in the notification bar? My phone has never shown these messages and i have updated periodly through SEUS.
Another thing is it true rooted phones won't receive automatic updates?
Any light shed on this subject would be ace, thanks I only ask cos I don't won't to miss the glorious day when 2.1 is released.

Anyone got any ideas on this?

I didn't create a SE-login and I got a few updates in the past. Up to r2ba026.
As far as for the rooting, if you root using the x10 root .apk, I 'm sure everything will work fine

Thanks for your responce. I wasn't sure that's because I thought you may need the data sync to any FW updates can be sent.
I'm using the universal androot for rooting and finding that pretty good. It allows me to unroot if needs be, does the x10 root .apk you mentioned do this?
Does it make a differnce to any features or usabilty depending on different methods of rooting?
Sorry for so many questions, I am curious about all this

I used the .apk android rood method only to remove moxier and quadrapop, afterwards I unrooted... so I don't know
Of caurse the upgrade will again remove root, but let's hope the apk still works in 2.1

What is SE-Sync?
When updates are available OTA for unrooted phones, the carrier will send out a message as far as I know. I've been notified as soon as the update was available.
Then again, my carrier sent out letters in the mail to make sure people updated their firmware a few weeks ago. (got an update that doubled internet download speed with a new APN, and support for Japanese carrier mail)

If apk rooting doesn't work in 2.1 I suppose it will eventually work one day... Untill then I'll leave the unused apps alone.
Se-sync is the contact/agenda/favorites sync's app provided by SonyEricsson... I don't use it, I prefer google sync.

What?
You %^*& with your /system so you'll have to flash the stock rom if you want the update, whether it's OTA or manual.

There should be a thread on this but you'll have to replace the files that were deleted to get rid of the goggles in order for update to process correctly. Basically you have to flash your phone to the shipped rom. Instructions are here in the forum. I had this done to my phone few hours ago.

Nothing will happen bro, you'll just have to re-install all your apps again since re-installting the stock rom will wipe your device.

What if I just install the goggles app when I get the OTA?
If its going to wipe everything in the update then I shouldn't be worried right?

If you used the Google Goggles remover program the OTA won't install. This means you have to flash factory ROM and
will lose all data on your G2 (except for what is backed up)
If you didn't use the Goggles remover then just wait for or install the normal OTA. You don't lose any data and the OTA will fix Goggles.
Hope this helps.

Congratulations, you're a ****.
Anyway thanks for the info, OP. Unfortunately no new visible features. Was hoping for Google Docs support as in the pay version from the market.

No camera with the JB update

I seem to have no camera installed after the JB update. I click on the icon and it says not installed. How would I get the camera back on?

The shortcut may just be corrupt, look in the app list and see if it's there (and re-create your shortcut.)
If it's not in the app list (and your trying to use the EOS release) then it's possible that you need to format your /system partition and try installing EOS and gapps again.
If your on the OTA, I have no idea how to help.

Airesch is probably correct. If you're using a shortcut to launch the Camera try deleting it and launching it from the app drawer or making a new shortcut.

Exactly as said, if you on rooted image of team eos hellybean ROM, gapps has a little issue and it was advised to do the following to fix all apps shortcuts including camera, and video chat, however, face unlock is till begin worked on,
Wipe cache,
Wipe dalvik,
Format system partition,
Flash ROM again,
Flash gapps right after,
Then reboot,

Working here dadavices. Not sure what to tell you. I'm on bone stock JB Xoom

Similar problem here with OTA stock update - except mine was the calendar and calculator app - even though the apks and odex files were in system/apps..
Is camera listed in Settings>Apps? With V411?
Does it allow "uninstall updates"? This did not fix mine... but was related...
My cured ... two solutions..
A) Full wipe after the OTA update fixed it.. and.
B) If you have a ICS backup - revert back. In Settings>Apps - run "Uninstall updates" on all system apps that have the option. Revert back to stock system and boot partitions - and let the OTA run again.
