my phone just got a new update message pop up. i was unlucky enough to get stuck with 2.3.3.... so im avoiding this update unless i should do it??
As a rule, I don't take any updates .
neither do i but the notification is quite annoying....
It should have been identified with a series of numbers member what they were?

Did you go to setting - system updates - HTC software updates uncheck the box for scheduled checks then back out with the back key and it shouldn't notify you again.

thank you, i did do that, the thing stayed till i clicked it and hit cancel now its gone
Since you're stuck with an unrooted phone, you might as well update your phone. It could be bug fixes such as mms issues, loading screens, updated radio, and so on.
Also maybe you can provide us with an update zip, once you download and before you update.
from the Speedy EVO Engine...
I say go with the update. Have you seen any of the videos of it, it also gives you sense 2.1. Itgives way more features than it has now. Trust me, go with the update, you wont regret it.
eh.... i wouldnt even know where to find the zip. its small anyway. but i dont wanna get screwed over permanently. knowing my luck the second the update finished a perm root comes out.. so i will wait.

Be careful. Engadget says that it breaks the root path that was revealed here yesterday.
Yeah if you intend on rooting don't do the update. It was suggested that you wait for the devs to release a modded fix.
I'm not even getting a notification that there's an update available! I've even tried to have it search for updates and nothing! lol
The update is there. However I have not enough battery life to install it. Gotta stop messing with the phone for a bit. I've already had a wierd issue where all the apps on the home screen that I remove automatically come back. Same with widgets. I hope this update fixes that. I thought I was going crazy.
Yup, this is the update to fix the small Memory Card issue with not being able to have the correct permissions. I do believe this is the version 1.32.651.6 update.

After going back to stock non-root I was finally able to get the update. I know not everyone will want it since it breaks root, but currently the way I use the phone, fixing the SDcard problem is more important.

If you want root wait the few hours or so until it gets cooked into a rom. If you do the OTA update you run the risk of never being able to get root.
Has anyone installed it yet,
Should we update, or not?
If you don't want root and do want the features given by the update, then update. Otherwise, no.
There is a OTA update by a dev that lets you keep root... wife has it and running and still maintained root

Yes, you can install the ROM that was created that incorporated all the features of the OTA update and keep root. However, you can't actually just install the update.
how can i check for the update? On my g1, mt3g, and my nexus i go to "about phone" and "update". On my wife's slide theres no such option. I dont know if its still rolling out, but if it already hit her slide ota but she didnt immediately act upon it, would it just stay as a notification or is there somewhere i go on the phone to check for update? thanks

I dont think you can check. It will come automaticly and prompt you for DL. Yes it would stay as a notification. My gf phone had the notification for a few days now but I told her not to update it yet she has been telling me how annoying having the notification in her bar is....hahaha
They must still be rolling it out because I haven't got it yet. As far as root, this update should still allow us to keep it without going through the whole process again... right?? Either way I'll do the ota, rooting is easy - I just want them to hurry up with froyo
Edit: nevermind on the update, just finished reading that I would have to root again but with a completely different exploit.

Tell me how i got a random(s) reboots on the ota rom(rooted ver), it seems to be unstable for me sometimes....I open kb while in sleep and it froze and then bootlooped like 1000's times..sheesh..I was better off before.Talk about an improvement, a rotary phone is more stable than this update.The phone is more hot with heat inside, this cause multiple kernal panics with android OS a lot of time, for me.Now what I not know what do with phone that is 94 farinheit!

I wasn't serious just felt like saying that to respond to his comment...You probably didn't notice the sarcasm.
Ok I guess the wife hasn't received it yet, no notification. Seems like they should all be out by now. With my g1, mt, and nexus I don't think I've ever waited for an ota, I'm in san Antonio and ota's just never come. I've always had to do it manually, but I haven't kept up with my wife's slide, can I manually update her slide for her?
This morning I was going to give up and weigh the options between flashing with odin for ec05, or doing a custom rom, then while at work over the aitlr came the update!
What do ya'll think about the update, any glitches to report?

OTA happened for me this morning but failed because I was rooted. My brother is stock and his went through fine.
OTA happened for me today too and worked perfectly
Can you get the update when you are on EB13?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Although I'm rooted I have everything else factory, no missing apps. I wonder what prevents the OTA from happening. Maybe it still will...?
I checked "update android" about 3 am in indiana and started downloading the update. i checked my phone about 8 am and it asked if i wanted to update first thing.
the update when fine, but things run slow. looks like all of my data is there but the rotation lags sometimes and some of my ringtones, notification sounds have changed. thats not a big deal though. the screen rotation lag was about 3 to 4 seconds at one point.
i have yet to restart my phone, maybe i'll give that a try. also my battery is dying fast. it usually lasts about 12 hours, today its going about 8 or 9.
i updated from never rooted, stock di18 over the air to ec05.
I haven't got the OTA (on a custom rom anyway) but would never install anything OTA. Samsung has enough problems with buggy releases to go flashing something like this right over top of what I already have, IMO you're inviting issues if you update like this.
With that said, I just flashed the EC05 modem over my ACS 1.0.2 install and it went flawless. GPS lock is better and 3G seems to be doing better and I didn't have to deal with any of the Sprint ID crap.
Hey everybody I jus got my froyo update today and I dont know what to make of it yet...it looks abit cooler...came wit sprint id crap, I dont see the point in even having that...also I there has been this weird fantasy sounding bg music on my epic and I cannot for the life of me find out where its coming from, uh so if anyone know how get that off I will be greatful...but all in all im diggin this update jus cus my xscope browser now had flash! YaY Me!
Got my update yesterday while at work. Feels a little sluggish versus eclair. The best thing about the update is that it messed with my default ringtone and notification settings. While sitting in my department's staff meeting, I received a call from my wife. No big deal except the ringtone sounds a little bit like a dying barking sea lion. That was pretty fun.
Other than that, so far, so good. Really like apps2sd! I just need to figure out how to delete a SprintID after I download it if I don't like it. (I am sure it I easy, but I haven't bothered trying yet.)
sent from my go-go Gadget phone
I thought I might amuse someone by reporting that I, DroidApprentice, may be the very last person to get the OTA update today after believing through most of last week that something I did to my phone made it not downloadable.
The irony is that I think tonight was to finally be the night where I tried using update.zip manually anyhow. Well, it was cool to see happen I guess. LOL. Now it keeps bugging me. Oh well, it's fated maybe to frustrate me until I manage to get it done and then hopefully it'll be an actual improvement.

Please know that we are aware of many of the issues people are experiencing and are working with HTC to resolve them. Although I don't have a time frame now, they will be sending out a patch to resolve issues associated with your device.

I was also prompted for an update today, after just being prompted for the GB update the other day. I was hoping maybe they were being true to their word and unlocking the bootloader.
It was a rather lengthy update process with two reboots involved.

Not to sound like a douche, but I think it's pretty obvious that Sprint & HTC plan on releasing an update that would fix the problems presented with the GB update.
There was the 4.22 update,GB
Then the 4.24 update,GB fix,
Are you guys saying there is a 3rd update being pushed?

I waited a couple weeks and did the rooted stock rom, 4.24
Have had no issues after a full week of use.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
the more i think about it you think he said that just to shut me up and so the sprint forums dont get filled up with posts about it ??? I dunno; like the corp store told me; "as long as you can make and recieve calls there is nothing wrong with your handset"
IT suxx to be stock its like having a maseratti that only goes 55MPH
So i recieved a notifaction today that my samsung epic was eligable for the gingerbread 2.3 update. Knowing not to get my hopes up, I followed the instructions to update, but my phone kept telling me my current andriod version was up to date.
I called sprint technical support which was the biggest waste of two hours of my life. They ended up screwing up my phone, which I had to manually get working again.
I finally called my local sprint store to see what was going on, and he told me that spring PULLED the samsung epic 2.3 update because many clients were reporting problems with their phones. He told me it would become available again in the next 3-4 weeks. I have no idea how he would know this information, but im leaning towards speculation. 3-4 weeks is 6-8 months in sprint langunage. He said his is working completely fine, and he would be fine with me to come down and he will manually put it on my phone for me, but warned if my phone bricked, it would be stuck that way (aka i would have to use odin to send it back to stock).
I manually put the E122 version on my phone and so far have ZERO problems. Is anyone else aware of sprint jumping the gun on this one and pulling this update?
I've had the Epic since day 1.
They have pulled EVERY-SINGLE-UPDATE in the history of Epic updates.
It's almost laughable. I can't wait to get a sprint phone that sprint and samsung dont mess with (nexus prime, etc)
I have the correct version right? EI22 is the latest and greatest?
What happens if sprint releases a newer update, will I have to manually remove this one and go back to froyo eco5, or will my phone update ok?
can you point me in the direction of the way you updated this with zero problems? thanks

Im not sure if your being sarcastic, but I will point you anyways.
Before anything, make sure you have FROYO ECO5 Installed, and nothing else.
1.)go to ww.gottabemobile.com/2011/11/09/samsung-epic-4g-gingerbread-update-rolling-out-can-be-manually-installed
2.)rename the zip file they have for you download to update (NOT UPDATE.ZIP, just UPDATE)
3.)put the file on your SD card
4.)start phone in boot mode
5.)update.zip will appear on the boot screen, select it.
your phone will update automatically.
Since it was an official release, EI22 should upgrade to the "GB fixed" version for the Epic, even if OTA is stopped. A quick google search doesn't confirm that the update was stopped. Not saying you're wrong, but could be misinformed.

I agree. I mean it made sense and all, considering i was unable to update via OTA and my phone said my andriod version was currently up to date.
I guess only a certain percentage of users are getting it at the moment? I dont know, I have it now and thats all that matters.
Only complaint I have is their new system they use to kill aps. I loved the fact I didnt need advanced APP killer with my epic, but this new interface is really confusing me.

My wife's stock epic had the same update notification and the same everything is up to date. So I talked to a friend who works at a sprint store and he explained the whole market queue thing for the update (unnecessarily I might add).
He then called support and talked to one of his buddies there who told him that they are getting slammed with calls about this and that they can't do a thing about it if the person isn't up in the queue.
Hell of a way to push an update.
go figure sprints always tryin to screw everyone they can. good thing we have devs and root to make them acutally work faster and better!
+1 to everyone who knows anything bout andriod
Sprint stated it would be completed over 8 days to ensure it goes smoothly. which means the 17th is the last day. Also it is not listed as suspended on their site. EB13 was immediately listed as suspended when they pulled it.
Sprint zone just sent me an update stating that gingerbread was available. I don't think they've pulled it. But hey its sprint so who the he'll knows! They'll probably wait until they push it to everyone and then pull it ;-)

Yeah, that "your update is ready" message from Sprint is automated and isn't related to your spot in the queue. The same thing happend to me (I got the message days before the OTA was pushed to me) when Froyo got released. I can't tell you how many days before, I waited a day and a half and just did it manually.
yeah, that notification has no bearing on when you get the update. i got notified on my phone about the update hours after i already did the manual upgrade.
