Android Central hmzzz don't believe everything they are saying.
They also said you loose image quality /features in the camera if you unlock the bootloader which isn't true.

Notice any differences in how it operates? No notice of any available update on my device as of yet...

Some users on their forum also says that. ATT got it 2 days before and we are getting it to.
I hope they move dual window back to back button. Thats all i need.

I have a H815. So i don't think I will receive an update then

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-22421
Pretty sure its true, but ATT's was only like 25mb

What I don't understand as an EU G4 user.
Why does T-mobile provide an update? Is it an update on their software? Or is LG involved?
Are there specific T-mobile apps on it?

I got the update this morning. To answer a couple of questions: No, no new apps. Dual window is still in the same place.
I dont notice anything right offhand different, but I havent done much with my phone yet this morning. Heres a capture of my info:

T-Mobile (as well as most carriers) ship out the updates after they've approved the changes. I would imagine this is to ensure that nothing being updated will affected their carrier's included Spam (I mean added software) or network connectivity. Last thing they want is their stores or customer service lines inundated with "help! The update broke my cellular connection!" claims.

If you do notice anything of real substance, please post it so that we can know. For now, I think I will avoid connecting to WiFi until I know what this update actually does. I've never been a fan of generic changelogs...

But then it's a little bit strange that the international version. Hasn't got the update.
So you could assume it has to do with their spam apps.

Maybe it fixes the touchscreen issue. I haven't gotten an update yet, and I've switched back to my S5 for now.

Could have to do with any number of kernel/lib/framework related items specific to carrier. Could be cellular radio related, WiFi related (wifi calling has been weird on my phone...doesn't want to seem to connect but I have awesome reception where I live, so I don't need it), etc...
Has your version had any updates in last week or two? If so, it might just be that the carriers are just now approving that update and pushing out to the devices.

That is true for certain phones. Like the Sony phones.

Sweet. Pretty quick imo. Look forward to seeing if it fixes some small issues I've been having (touch/tap misses and knock settings). I know knock settings are a longshot, but it would be nice to be able to configure them to each persons liking. I'd love to be able to turn off the "drag one finger down to quick view the clock/status"

I got my update overnight.
Phone updated without any warning or notice when I woke up this morning. CHecked the software version and it was the new one.
I havent noticed any differences as of yet.

Actually I just looked at my phone and already running version h I wonder if from the factory there were two different images

No I haven't got any updates on my version (H815).

Got the update and my phone starting shaking and jumping around on my desk. When the update was complete it turned into a Galaxy S6

Since they are already working on root and unlock I wouldn't take the ota just yet. Ive got a replacement on the way so once I get the update I'll take it on the one I'm returning and see if any changes. Ill also do a system dump on the new version too if necessary.

Software Update From T-Mobile?

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?

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..

2.2.1 OTA Status thread

Okay, this was just an idea I had, but lets see if it works... assuming everyone can keep it civil here.
Post here when you receive the update, and put in the following information:
Date/Time Updated
Previous build (DI18, DG27, etc)
Geographic location
Months/Years with Sprint
With that information, maybe we can build a pattern and have an idea of when everyone's updates are scheduled.
Edit to add: Apparently release has been pushed to 9PM PST/12A EST-2/22/11
Good idea

You do know that this has nothing to do with you getting the update, right?
Don't the Android phones have some sort of internal identifier??? Kind of like Blackberry having PIN numbers. I thought Android had an internal identifier unique to each unit.
If so, they could be enabling a block of identifiers at a time.
If nobody on this forum has received the update yet, I would have to imagine it has not begun. However, androinica.com is reporting that it has begun.
the que goes by ESN lowest numbers get it before higher numbers. someone will post it on the net as soon as someone with half a brain gets the update.
I just checked my phone.... nothing YET and I'm in California near S.F. area.
There is someone in the sprint community forums who says they received it already.

I was curious about that as well, but obviously no one wants to post their esn here. If that is all it is, then bummer. But I don't know, I don't work for Sprint or anything, that was the point of the thread
Based on the previous information, it sounded like current build had more to do with it than ESN, but again, I don't know, that's the purpose of the thread
Yeah, best we can do is just wait until somebody gets it.
It's like trying to find the Golden Ticket.
Could you guys all stop rambling BS, this thread is going to be 10 pages long before anyone even gets the first OTA. If you guys wanna talk BS why not use this sites chat feature.
I like this thread. Will possibly come in handy for future Sprint updates.
I am flashing back to DI18 now and will post the update.zip if I get it before its posted here.
Guys if you get the update DO NOT INSTALL OR REBOOT. PM one of the developers and we will help you dump the cache. I have heard of several people getting the update but failing during the install process... It hopefully won't be long.
I assume that we'll need to be on the stock rom to get the update. Is that the case? I'm about to flash it back right now...

Yes. You will need to be on Stock DI18 with all of the bloat apps installed.
I'm sure someone will release a streamlined update.zip nixing the verification.

7.10.7740.16 Update - Like a BigBoss :D

Got the official 7740 Update via Zune, anyoe got a Changelog?
I'm Installing it right now - will post anything new i find
Nothing noticeable in this Update -_-
DVP - Great Smartphone - Great Software - Missing OEM Update= Useless ****! Dell you SUCK!

Microsoft's aim with WP7 isnt to introduce anything new or mind blowing, its to just improve feature level functionality without confusing the end user.
Like a Boss indeed!!
I got nothing on my unlocked US T-Mobile Version of DVP =/
Yeah just got the update for my factory unlocked TMO DVP and nothing we can notice at all. Just bug changes that probably affect a small batch of us. Here's the screen shot of a somewhat of a changelog:

How about we let people just be themselves. I know I'm not a senior member, but I see no need to censor anyone.
the multi-tasking resume time on apps seems to be faster from the beta. And overall seems faster response time. I would recommend a battery pull for everyone after the update also, that helped mine too.
I updated mine yesterday and it seems to be fine except for one thing. I used to get "H" all the time, now only 3G. Anyone experience the same issue? Pulled the battery a few times already and still the same.
Anyone else updated yet? Seem to be very few update reports, havent got it myself yet.
nothing for me yet
Well it would seem its tmobile blocking this update, my generic DVP got the prompt and updated ok while my tmo locked one still claims 7720 is up to date.
Such a disgraceful state that US carriers are so intent on blocking updates for the devices they carry and have effectively killed the market for true unlocked phones.
my att DVP when from the beta 7720.212 to 7720.219 and now it says its up to date, is that true or should I have 7740?

Yes, that's correct. 7720.219 is the latest firmware version.
The 7740 OS update was relatively minor and Dell has not released new firmware since the Mango release. Therefore, the firmware version number has not changed since Mango.

I have noticed this on my phone as well. I remember it showing 'H' more often with the 212 firmware than it does now. Similarly, I did not see 'H' very often prior to the 212 firmware.
I suspect my signal strength may be near to the borderline, as I haven't seen many other people mentioning this.
In the 212 firmware, Dell made some tweaks to improve signal strength (http://wmpoweruser.com/dell-venue-pro-users-new-fw-report/). Not sure if any of this changed in 219 - it's possible.

Yay Lollipop for Droid turbo... it sucks, tons of issues

I can't figure out how to edit the top post on this
Got the update this morning and hardly noticed. One thing to note is the Verizon messaging application crashes when trying to send and receive MMS forcing me to use the new version. I only noticed because of this glitch. It has other instabilities as well and my battery suffered a loss, I only get about a full days use where I used to have almost 2. Also the phone keeps going into Airplane mode. The camera can't record in 4k mode either...
The first is the phone before the update, the latter two are after... Still near stock with circles widget. I can take it in to get it replaced, but I don't want the Verizon tramp stamp...

Sorry Droid Turbo, and no I don't do soak tests. I rely too heavily on the device for business. I have a feeling the update may get delayed due to this. Trust me there are issues, and it is the only reason I noticed I got the update at all. The Maxx is the non-Verizon version.
Can you post some screenshot of the 'about phone'?
Any new stuff on the lollipop for droid turbo?

Also, I think you can downgrade the phone to 4.4.4 by RSD, if you need the firmware.xml, I get send a link to you.
If you've got lollipop, then why is the usb debugging icon from kitkat? :/
It's an alternative launcher....
So you got the update this morning? And yet you already know how the battery life is? Yeah nothing to see here, move along. Let's lock this before it gets out of hand
The op is also the guy that claims to have got root working.. Then provided Nada...
There's actually no indicative that it's lollipop. It's just the Google Now launcher before and after the update (app update)
Everything looks as kitkat as it could. Sorry, pal. You didn't fool us
Hey look, I got the update too!!
Its called an updated Google Now Launcher (or any other up to date third party launcher for that matter), not Lollipop.

I thought I would, but everything I used to use root for I can do non-rooted now. This has all that I want and more, only a few minor setbacks.
USB OTG for storage, and USB gamepad, keyboards etc...
Wireless HDMI
USB Tethering I use PDA Net
Sideloading applications, provided they are signed, and signing an unsigned application isn't that hard...

I can hide the apps (only drawback) but not uninstall them
I can't load kernel modules
Buttons are hardware so changing them is a non-issue
I can't change the battery icon
In fact up until the Lollipop update, the device has been fast, smooth, stable, and did everything I wanted. I think rooting and romming aside, and of course my next phone will be a developer phone, but I can live without root for a little while, this works well. I am off to the Verizon store to replace this so I can get a working Kit-Kat version, if I can get one without the Verizon trampstamp. If not I will just wait for a fix which will be coming shortly.

Depending on the oem the wifi icon may or may not change. If you look at the s5 for verizon that icon didnt change.

That's touchwiz you're talking about. It doesn't look like stock android anyway. The Turbo (like most Moto phones) is meant to be as close to stock as possible. I'd be willing to bet quite a bit that our wifi icon will be solid white when we get the update.
How the hell does he get a full day of use if he got the update this morning. Please close thread and stop giving him attention.
Stop the bull****, the wifi icons are from kitkat

Here is a download for the 5.0.2 soak test from Motorola for XT1053 devices. I have not tried this yet, I received this from a friend who reported it successfully working on his device.
I do not take responsibility if this file bricks, destroys, or sets fire to your phone. Use this at your own risk. I have not tested this file, therefore I cannot confirm that it works.
If you do venture to try this, please report back.

how exactly is patching a factory zip update complicating future updates?

The OTA updates, including soak/beta or whatever you want to call pre-release received via the Moto Feedback Network, and those pushed by the carriers, have pre-flash validation checks in them.
They check for certain things in build.prop, particular files (and checks their hash/check sum), etc. IF your phone doesn't match, the OTA wont install. In addition, with the OTA's and these leaked ZIPs including updates to GPT.BIN and the bootloader, and history showing how easy it is to brick trying to downgrade when those are involved, that could complicate trying to get back on track should Moto or the Carriers push something else out.
A while back, I think it was the Droid X, there were leaked updates, people were flashing them, they were not meant to be released and the people who installed them got STUCK unable to update for a while. It was a while ago, so my memory is fuzzy, but a process was finally found, but it took a while, and a few updates, to bring those people back in line. And it was a little more difficult due to locked bootloaders.
So practicing a little caution is a good thing.

It's likely coming. But at least I'm not breaking the NDA, my friend is. Probably won't matter. I'm getting it out while I can.

Nice way to justify leaking stolen software. Always amusing to see wanna-be devs pirating someone else's work and somehow justifying it to themselves.
KidJoe,
One person can update his bootloader, others supplied with system partition backups don't have to. Deployed Android doesn't require updated motoboot, or secure things. You know what I mean...
But hey, it's illegal, firstly. And secondly, let's not spoil Motorola good intentions to bring us the latest Android, and quickly. Sooon )
Can you post a link to the new post with the file?

Quickly is not the right word when it has being months of LP being out.

I'm with Motorola on this one.
You should see s4 after lollipop update.
The battery gives Hardly 1 hour of screen time.
It has rendered the phone unusable.
At least we are getting a reasonably stable update.
Also getting features from new flagship.
Who does that

how exactly is patching a factory zip update complicating future updates?

Besides other things the bootloader gets updated. It's not so easy to go back to 4.4.4.

Actaully, based on history with the 2013 X...
That doesn't always work right. i.e. When it was found that 4.4.2 broke MotoWpNoMo and SlapMyMoto, some tried upgrading by flashing only PARTS of the 4.4.2 rom (so they could roll back).. They ran into features not working, like App Drawer -> Settings -> Security.
We've seen other issues arise when partially flashing too, but they were a while back so my memory is a little fuzzy on the specific details.
I flashed it days ago.... My phone is fine

Quick question are you on T-Mobile. Do you have the 4g LTE or just 4g on the status bar?

My nexus 5 has it don't know why they wouldn't have it in the moto..I guess it really doesn't bother me as much as not having 5.0

I have TMo and the XT1053 and I'm only showing 4G but with LTE speeds. I saw a screenshot on here of someone with what appears to be a special T-Mobile build of the Lollipop soak test with LTE in the signal bars though.
