Sorry but I am skeptical about this OTA. So I'd like to start a poll on who has actually been prompted and/or received it.
what are you skeptical about ? it existing ?
what would make you skeptical of this ?

The fact that only 1 person has received it.
I haven't gotten it, but I'm not sure I'd even see it since I renamed otacerts just in case they did this.
I guess I'll wait a little longer to be skeptical...considering only 1 person on THIS forum says they recieved it. That doesn't mean only 1 person recieved it.
Plus, with all the users here running custom roms already, how many of us are even going to see it pushed to thier phones ? I know it won't come up on mine at all because of that.
We'll see...maybe it's real, maybe it's not but I think it may be a little early to think otherwise.

Exactly -- only one screenshot from one user. Given the number of us who frequent this forum, our sample size is large enough that more of us should have it by now if it existed.

Not really. For about 5 days the only guy that had received the first OTA update was a writer at Phandroid. It eventually got pushed out to everyone.
So what is the motivation for photoshoping the screen shot?

I'm running the CM test rom and when i go to "About phone" in settings. the option to check for software updates is gone. I figured because of that, i would not see any OTA's pushed to my phone....I'm not trying to say it's real, i'm just saying it's pretty fast to call someone out.

I think the OP is just trying to see if anyone else gets it. If someone does get it and doesn't have clockworkmod recovery, be sure to logcat so we can get the file.
If you have clockwork recovery you should be able to accept the update, because cwm won't flash it but the update will stay on your sdcard.
if any of you want, ill be more than happy to demo the damn thing with a damn webcam as proof the screenshot isnt photoshoped.
I don't know if anyone seen this but Verizon tweeted something earlier today too about sharing your data connection....it seems to fit the update giving WiFi hotspot. I could be a dummy but I believe the guy. Hopefully more people will see it soon.

Hi everyone, first time posting!
I just received a notification that T-Mobile has an update for my Vibrant. Did anyone else get this? Could this be the GPS fix everyone's been talking about? I'm installing it right now!
I tried to manually update it but I got the same old message "no firmware! "
It didn't end up going so great... It hanged on the Vibrant screen after the update. Doing a nandroid restore right now.
Lol. Really?
My first post so here it goes.
I just finished downloading the update and its not 2.2. I have noticed a few slight changes though. First being that websites seem to open faster and scroll smoother, it could just be me though. The menu that is brought up when you are using the browser is different and has a brightness control on it.
There is a new HD camcorder application and a task manager application. I have only had it running for a couple minutes. In not sure if there is a gps fix cause I'm in my basement so it its rare for me to get any signal down here.
I also just found out youtube videos have a HQ button on them now.
Just checked with mine and I get the "no firmware" as well.
looks like JI6 then?
So how do theses OTA updates work? Does everyone get it at the same time or does it update few people at a time? Anyone know?
Will I get any update if my phone is rooted and has lag fix installed?

Usually a message pops up at the top in your notification bar that an update is available

Yes the build number says ECLAIR.UVJI6
http://twitter.com/TMobile/status/26614716117 I think this is evidence enough....
it kinda makes sense that t mobile would begin pushing updates today. They were supposed to announce this week (which would mean today or tomorrow) when they were gonna be releasing updates.

This seems legit. People on both Android Forums and T-Mobile Forums are reporting the update. Can't be a troll
I'm already on JI6 so it's all good!
GPS has been OK with this version, over WiFi it's really not going to work well for some reason. Jumps around all over the place.
Tracking has been reliable overall. Using it with the Root Wireless app to track my network coverage it was very quick to lock in.
Samsung posted this on Facebook as well.
The Gallery is still problematic.
Reception has been EXCELLENT, overall if this is what we would have gotten back in July people would have been much happier.
How long does it take to roll out to the majority of the masses?

If someone uploads the file of the update online, can we manually install it without rooting?
I call bluff. Why is it always a new user first post that happens to get it. No one else either but you when the forum is waiting eagerly. Could be possible, but for now I call shananigins..

confirmed by T-Mo community and Android Central too.
EDIT: Whoops! meant Android Forums. XD
I am not seeing any real info on the OTA update. I got it this afternoon. I have noticed so far
- Wifi calling
- Hotspot capability
- Can now update Goggles
Really? I haven't heard anything!!!

Really ? Can someone provide instructions on how to upload it. This could be very useful for the root cause. We all called the other guy for trolling. Did a mod delete that thread?

I have anecdotal evidence from other websites claiming to be receiving an OTA update.

I must admit, I didn't think this was true but after I saw those pics.....I wept.....
How much memory are you showing?
The same. App Monster Pro shows 1.29 GB
Isn't there usually a code to force updates or am I mistaken on this?
You're kidding me... I returned my G2 because I get terrible signal indoors on campus, and I couldn't live without my BB's UMA so I figured I'd wait until it was enabled. The tards on the phone and in the store said it's looking closer to December for the release...
EDIT: Err... that was a useless post. I hope the updates become widespread; I'll definitely rush back to get the phone.
If this is real.... this could be big for getting perm. root available. Either way the tether option is sweet! Did the radio version change anyone? My G2 is off and charging right now... My signal is crap compared with my MTS. Really need a newer radio version.

I was thinking there was but there is a section in "About phone" for system updates. Mine says up to date but I guess thats if you missed your prompt or something...

Right but I think there is a USSD code for forcing an actual check for OTA updates that are available.

New Kies mini is here. It shows that JI6 is still the current version. For about 5 minutes my hopes were high just to crush hard.
Theres a discussion on the 2. 2 update that comes from the new kies mini at t-mobile forums.

I'm at work now but I loaded up Kies on my home VM, but you need the damn phone to check for updates, lame. Hopefully it's real. It would make whoever said that the update would be pushed on the 22/21. We'll see.
Yeah i opened Kies Mini 3 times before it updated to the latest version. I havn't plugged my phone in yet because i have my phone rooted with a custom rom so i aint trying to mess nothing up. Im just waiting on that guy to see if he posts them pics. Itll be cool if its true but we'll see.
I've checked it with my phone, no update, and been calling BS in the thread over there.

I'm running JI6 and removed my root and found no update.
I updated Mini Kies but bet it's just a precursor is all. Takes him "10 minutes" to post a screenshot with Build and other info. That sounds like a winner..

I would of been ok if he could of typed the build info I asked for. because I'm guessing he doesn't know how the build sequence works and would of botched it up saying it's build JH7 or something else that wouldn't be right.
That Dudes known for lying though, so it wouldnt be too surprising that he would be lying again. And your right it shouldn't be too hard to look at the build number and kernel and just type it if her weren't lying.

When he replies with the build of the Kies program, he's a moron.
You "I hate kids" haha, love it.
Yep and all of the computer problems and unable to post pics. As I said with his last thread about Froyo being out Ban him but one of the useless mods over there said no rules were broken.
Should we all click the report button on his first post?
I don't like the mods there. They don't accept criticism to others, and they never find nothing wrong with stupid posts like "ZOMG FROYO!!!!!". It's stupid.
He Lied like Always. Whatever then.
yea.. wow.
Anyways, at least we know that Kies was updated, hopefully this means that Froyo COULD be around the corner. Or like someone else said that it might just be an update to their already ****ty software.
that was me that said just to update their ****ty software. On Twitter they said we will have an update by the end of the year.
I read that thread for a minute. Seems he tried to say that he was running Froyo/JI6. Some people will do anything for attention. Oh hey BTW look at me.......

I was able to update Kies Mini but now when i plug in my phone a window pop's up saying MiniApplication has stopped working, then the program closes. I have a HP laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. Any suggestions?
I was messing around with the settings on my Epic's camera and noticed the "Firmware Check" option, so naturally I tapped it and it took me to a screen with two options: "Check Version by Network" and "Firmware Update". Selecting the later choice told me to check the version, and upon doing so it then told me update my firmware. Both times I was prompted with "It will occur additional fee. Will you continue?"... gotta love those translations. Unfortunately, attempting to update the firmware ends up with an error of "Service unavailable(4002)", though it does try to load http://samsungapps.com, which is seemingly unavailable to the US, I imagine that it works only for the international Galaxy S. Sigh...
I noticed this last night too and was wondering about that. I didn't bother to make a thread.
Has occurred since at least January.
Been doing this a long time.

I think the poorly worded message means that you'll be using a data connection, which could cost you money. Could be wrong though.
