2.2.1 update

When is this so called 2.2.1 update coming ota? I've read online that there is a leaked version for those rooted but I'm not and I want my ota update damn it! I asked a rep this weekend and he said "in the next two months" but he also said the same thing when i asked when lte was coming out...oh those silly Verizon workers
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

the reps in store probably do not know when the update is due out.

Yeah... I like asking them questions just to see what how they will answer ya know? But does anyone have any info on the release date?

There are no dates yet, officially or unofficially. Just stay tuned.

Motorola won't even admit the leak is their work. Get on motorola owners forum you will see the lack of communication on motorolas part. They also refuse to provide any information about possible update timelines... They operate their business like they do their boot loaders...

Does anyone know what the update is going to (in theory) fix? Any sort of changelog?

the last official communication from Motorola is here:
_https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/38876_

While the leak runs like a finished product, there's no guarantee that it's ever coming OTA anyways. It does fix most of what was posted in the link above.
Also, I believe that VZW rep was right about LTE

LTE was launched yesterday(Dec. 5)! As far as a 2.2.1 OTA... only time will tell.

Has anyone received the Nexus S 4G OTA yet?

Has anyone got the OTA that is supposed to be released today or tried *#*#checkin#*#* for the update?

I wonder if Google is going to release an OTA for both GRJ06D and GRJ22, or just GRJ22.

Thought GRJ22 was already released? Pardon me, I don't keep up with build versions.

What he is referring to is if the OTA will be pushed to both GRJ06 (original build) and GRJ22 (first update). I would imagine it would go to both, starting with GRJ22 first and then pushed to any straglers left on 06...

just tried the checkin code. no update

It was said only 5% will get it today. But jeezo, you'd think it would be out by now. Maybe the ones getting it 1st, don't know they have it yet.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

Yeah I was also checking in to see if anyone had received the update but I guess not. I'm pretty sure to update you have to have the option under setting>about phone>system-updates which I do not have running Cyanogen. Also if you were to do the update you will probably loose root is my guess.

im currently unrooted and have not seen anything yet... will post if something hits

Loaded up factory images checked in succeeded, no updates as of yet.

If 5% of the 4G users get the patch today that's hardly a noticable amount, guess we'll have to wait for another day or two before more reports come in.

If you notice, when updating prl, data stays intact. As before it always cut off

i've tried dialing *#*#checkin#*#* from my nexus and i keep getting "the feature code you entered is not valid. message one" and then it hangs up. i don't get the following showing "checkin succeeded"

Why not wait, It's not guaranteed to come today. but you have 30 days and if this update fixes the issues it has had I doubt you will be upset at keeping the phone.
Right now I have 1 problem and that is signal.

Lets hope so...

Lol, confirmed? Sure if you call one website quoting the other confirmation

Fact if it does indeed start its roll-out on xx day that does not mean you will get the update that day or even that week or month come to that .
Roll-out is usually on an area basis to start with .
Phone vendors will not push out the update until they have checked it and modified as they want .
Actually that should not be a problem for any XDA member as we don't use Kies or OTA updates or vendor supplied firmware .

Lh7 seems about 99% finished to me. Even if it doesn't come for another two weeks let's be grateful that jellybean is so close for us. I don't see any jellybean leaks being posted over at the one x forums.

I still think that they should test it quite thoroughly before releasing it. Much longer than 2 days. More like test it for two months.No rush, HTC seems to be nowhere close and even if they were, them releasing it first won't change much.

[Q] OTA Update

Hi
Has anyone/ reviewers received the much publicized OTA which was due on 11th from google.

Patience is key. Just sit back and wait for the 13th, I'd say.

It's not a matter of what's new,I think a number of people are waiting to see final software performance and battery before they make their decision on the 13th.

I understand but i was just suggesting that it may be better to wait till the 13th - when people post about the final/retail software performance themselves- and then pull the trigger.

Yeah im curious to know too, supposedly with this update now you'lll have widgets in the lockscreen and maybe the battery problems will be solved :victory:

This most likely IS the final retail software.
do you really think that google will push out another OTA update in 2 days after this?
lol

If the software isn't perfect even on release day, Google will still issue updates accordingly. Its not like Google will sell you a phone, and then not fix any issues. So even if battery life is not perfect on day one, that could easily be fixed with an update. I am buying on day one no matter what, as I desperately need a new phone.

You can't compare them, the Galaxy Nexus has a smaller battery and a more power hungry screen.

The launch of the n4 is a little different than the galaxy nexus. If there are major bugs that people are unhappy with that can be fixed with a software update, I think Google will fix them.

What's wrong with Google? I hope they get their sh*t together and release a final ota that fixes all the current bugs. I would think that they would update the software before the release to do any last minute debugging.

I agree. Releasing an update the day it goes on sale does not seem ideal. In case there are issue with update.

Idk what's taking Google so long, its not a major update.

Seems like the devs over at google might be having a hard time getting a 3.4 kernel optimized for android devices... As far as I know, it's the first phone to use the 3.4.x kernel branch. Most other ICS or JB android devices use the 3.0.x branch.

When will the 4.2.2 update come over the air from Google?

I still haven't gotten an update even though I've been clicking "check now." Has anyone gotten the update over the air yet? I'm stock unrooted btw.

Yes they are currently being drip fed via OTA from Google. You either have to wait your turn, or manually install it.

It happens when it happens, be patient. I rarely ever wait for OTA updates and just get them manually, I've already installed and reinstalled this 4.2.2 like 5 times now on my N7 without issues.

Well, considering what I have installed was downloaded from Google's website I would say "Yep, it most certainly is."
It's the same exact file - someone that got the actual OTA update went back and looked at the log file made during the update and pulled the URL the actual archive came from (and the filename, obviously) and that is the file that a lot of us have manually installed.
So yes, it's exactly the same file.
In time we'll see a full 4.2.2 factory image and when that appears I'll most likely redo my N7 with that just because that's the kind of stuff I do sometimes.

4.1.2 to 4.2.2 - is it worth it?
Hi Forum friends.
I live in New Delhi, India & got my N7 from the US in Jan.
It came with 4.1.2; very soon it d/l the 4.2.1 OTA update & till now I've fobbed off the nagging reminders to install it, seeing all the issues that came with the update.
This morning when I turned the N7 on, I got the notification that the 4.2.2 update had been d/l & was prompted to install it.
My N7 is as it came - stock, unrooted- I understand being the lingo of the gurus in this area.
I am an old guy with no ambition to modify my N7; I just want to use it for what gives me pleasure- read/watch/acquire knowledge/communicate etc.
The only mod, if you can call it that, has been to d/l the NMI & watch movies off a pen drive, w/o going thru the bother of loading/deleting stuff via the USB cable; while on the subject, can anyone enlighten me why MX player won't read the srt file off the OTG/pendrive when it can do so when I transfer the folder containing the movie+ the srt file onto the tab via the usb cable? TIA
Qn - Am I better off with 4.1.2 or will 4.2.2 bring improvements w/o bestowing problems like 4.2.1 did - or is it too early to tell?
TIA & A Very Good Day to all.

Finally got the update over the air. I don't see much of as difference.

Hi, lucky you! I'm still waiting for 4.2.2 OTA.
Actually I've got zero problem with 4.2.1 so far and therefore can't comment on the issues people tell of. So 4.2.1 is for me perfectly fine. However just because there is an update I can't stop thinking when does it come to my device

I think almost all of the people are already on 4.2.2. If you can't wait, just sideload the update.

Why is that the downloadable updater's files are dated May 3, 2012? The same was true of the last update. Why wouldn't Google let the timestamps be whatever they were when they were went gold or were last updated? It's disconcerting to update with files dated 10 months ago for a brand new release.

I think the time stamp refers to JB in general and since 4.2.2 is still JB the stamp hasn't changed and will probly change when KLP is released, but this is only my theory.
