So is everyone who has a droid going to get the 2.2 update or is just a select few people going to get it?
i got it today at like 3 in the morning thanks everyone
From what I understand is that everyone will get the update just not all at once. They are only doing a certain number of customers per day and the ones that get it are picked at random. Don't quote me on this. It is just what I have come to understand from reading these forums.
Thats what i have been thinking i am just not sure... lol thanks
Didn't want to wait for Verizon to push the update to me so I downloaded it myself directly from the Android site.
Visit this website on your Motorola Droid and follow the instructions carefully.

You were awake waiting for it? lol. At least you got it
The 2.2 update is being released to all customers. The roll out began on August 3 and will end on Aug 18th. They are randomly being sent so you should receive yours momentarily. Hope this helps.
Thank you for finally giving us an answer, a timetable was all we needed.

They still have a list of all Droid owners and would mark off each owner that has been updated until they are all done. That would make sense even if the process wasn't random.
received my update today. Wisconsin user. No Flash install though. Still waiting for the flash component update to come down to the phone. very confusing when all media information states that froyo includes support for flash and when it installed, there was not flash. when you go to adobe flash site to install, note states that vendor update for flash will be provided by vendor. no flash on marketplace. no update notification on flash to be installed on phone. anyone heard how soon flash comes out after froyo update?
{edited for privacy} I still don't have mine and from what I've read in sum sites and forums 90 percent of people out there still don't have it I doubt were getting n its already close to 18 only 3 more days n only 10percent of people out there have it n others just installed it directly! People it not coming trust me this is all just marketing to make u get there phones
You know gabrielpina4 you know first of all I would like to know on what website this alleged information came from because you have typed this same info on every discussion about froyo. To me it sounds more like you are a person from AT&T, Apple, Sprint or T-Mobile trying to get people riled up. Froyo does exist on the Verizon network as it is already on the Droid2 so you can't just sit there and say it is totally a marketing scam to get people to buy a phone because that would be illegal. It falls under bait a switch. You know I don't make a lot of comments of the forum most of the time I think the forum is people blowing off steam when they get aggravated and I look for the replies by Verizon to answer the questions that I probably am thinking myself. However when I see someone from another company trying to pass themselves off as a loyal Verizon customer to cause problems well I have to at least say my piece. So as Truman would say "If I don't see you, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Night."

Last I heard, Adobe will be releasing Flash 10.1 for Android to the Market on August 18th, so it should be available to download next week.
well you have to remember if it truly random you would only see a small section of the millions of people that have the Droid. Personally I think the way they are going about this is **bleep** but I guess they thought this way no one could say they were playing favorites really what they should have done is randomized accounts that way everyone on the same account that has a droid would get the update at the same time. But hey what do I know I've just been in customer service for 20 years. They also could had the system randomly pic phones within each zone every so many minutes. You can't really tell me that the servers in one zone can't handle it. Or have set it up where you could have waited for the OTA set up a way to download to your computer, then to the phone. What usually happens though is some college graduate who has never worked with the general public in his life, who knows really nothing about computers or the technology that cell phones run on (case in point the woman who said the Droid doesn't have the hardware to tether when even the LG DARE could and it wasn't a smart phone) make these choices on how they think their customers will want to get the download and what would be the fairest way to do it.
I got the upgrade notification this morning. I attempted the upgrade and it completely messed up my phone. I had it replaced this morning at a local verizon store. How do I get the upgrade notification for my new phone? I am still showing 2.1.... Thanks all!
I am most likely 100% sure every phone will get it.
Natashia,
I am not doubting your word, but I heard that Verizon will be updating phones until middle of September. Is this information wrong (I hope so)?????
If you are correct, it seems that every one I know that own this droid has not gotten an update, and here it is the 15 of August.
Most these people are the ones that bought the phone when it first came out. I would think that people who have had their phones the longest should get the update first. But like I said this is what I think. What do you think???
Thank you
scott
It is August 17th and I still have not got the 2.2 uodate yet! I live in Elgin just on side of Chicago.
I honestly am noticing it is probably us high data tech savvy users that have been searching for it that will probably get it last.
Lol.... Wife has it and didn't even know it. Sister in Law has it.. Has no clue that it is different.. Those of us that could root it or add it ourselves, but are waiting for the correct way to receive it, seem to be the ones replying.
The rest of the world doesn't even know it exists and may have it and not know what it is.
Suggestion. Slow down data usage and quit using your phone.... You will probably get it then.. LOL
In all fairness, I am being impatient and I know the crew at VZW is the best out there and this would really be a fun chat if we were with a different provider. Definitely something to think about!!!
Not sure if it is possible to flash in store since it is a new phone. I am almost 100% certain that the new droids sold.(Depending on stock they had with old software), is supposed to come out of box with 2.2. Being a replacement/FRU phone. Just curios if since you had the problem they could flash it. Usually takes a bit, and not certain if due to the high volume of customers probably asking for it if they would do it. Worth a shot though!!
