2.2 just recieved

To all those wondering if the update is really going out... Just recieved my update notice on my Incredible at 10:20 pm PST in Mount Vernon Oregon. It took a little longer than 10 minutes for the update to run but I can confirm that I now have it.

It does have a new splash screen on boot like many were wondering and Im still looking trhough it finding all sorts of new stuff. I really hope you all get your taste of Froyo soon!

The 720p video format is in the update. The hotspot feature is there as well though it looks like they did make it so that they will be charging us to use the feature.

vogtage

The key is to have patience. You get a chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it. The update will come sooner or later.

Thanks guys...

I just received my update. I haven't installed it yet.

Well see how it goes.

I hope that it's worth the hype?

Tuesday morning @7am EST. in NJ and still no Froyo! I have one of the first DINC's so it must be a random rollout.

punkrockbuddha

Just got mine this morning.

Those who are extra impatient go to androidcentral now!

dadsterflip

jakkyl

droid_dogg

dadsterflip

Head to androidcentral and you don't have to wait... I love my desert

armpitt212

Ok Guys...here's what's up...I just recived my update as of 5:30am Hawaii standard time so that means its 8:30 Pacific time...11:30 Eastern time...woke up to see an update on my phone cheee...patient...it will come to you

I read up on the update from AndroidCentral.com.

They say that it's the same file you would have gotten from the OTA (URL: android.clients.google.com)

How can we be sure that verizon doesn't include customer-specific information, e.g. - saved downloadable apps, user configuration schemas, etc?

Can this link be confirmed to be IDENTICAL (as in equal to) the same over the air update that everyone is waiting for?

If that's the case, then I'll download it and install it.

Also, another question: If you do install via pulling this OTA from Google rather than having the OTA pushed to you from Verizon, then does the OTA from Verizon pass over your phone recognizing that you already have the OTA?

dadsterflip

Same exact one. When they got the download they just extracted the file. Everything stays the same. Icons are better and it doesn't wipe your phone.

dadsterflip

Make sure download profile and rename only once you transfer it using astrofile. If not you would have zip.zip and won't work.

dadsterflip

Astrofile

I did the androidcentral update, worked perfectly. No issues whatsoever.

All of my apps work, all of my sound preferences carried over. No problems whatsoever.

No rooting required, just follow the instructions and you've got Froyo.

Now, why the couldn't have Verizon just given us this update.zip themselves?

dadsterflip

Yep works great.. but no battery fix... I can watch my batt percent go down with 5min etc. Any one come across this

joese

agreed!!

thomas2345

Bluetooth didn't work after update. It worked after a reboot. Flash operation: ESPN 3 works (sort of), Hulu doesn't work at all. One excellent benefit if you're using Activesync iwth a corporate MS Exchange server: The security login disappeared. You no longer have to login each time you use your device.

alotonmymind

got my and didnt load

g0dhand

I have the zip file right now on my machine. I'm just going to rename it to "update.zip" on my computer first, and then port it to the root directory of my SD card that way.

Easier to rename there.

I also pinged http://www.android.com and http://android.clients.google.com to check the IP ranges.

Both of them are the same down to the last subnet. So the addresses are legitimate.

I'm still reading through the posts though. Sorry, but I'm quite skeptic. =P

aibrean

FYI (from VZW Support on Twitter):

The update is Over the Air. Yes if you install the update manually you would void your warranty.

g0dhand

I knew there'd be a catch.

Glad I didn't rush into things. :smileysurprised:

dadsterflip

How would they know if its manually downloaded

MastaCoz

Yes I would love to see how they know. I also like to know how the nations "Most Reliable Network" can't even push out an update to everyone in small groups. Sprint's network isn't the best of the best yet everyone got an update the first time. Like wow, right?

dadsterflip

Don't see how the file would say its update its vs manual update. It both resets the OS on the phone. etc. Plus its not recorded on your file how you got it especially they can't even give you a straight answer on how the update wad being rolled out.

dadsterflip

Google locating services vs Google locating services. Both sane or one better

dadsterflip

VZW locating services sorry

MastaCoz

In any case, there really is no business logic that I can tell from that rolling out an update slowly is better for us. Sure, some may not care about it at all, but at least the option to manually install without voiding a warranty should be available. It's almost saying that downloading an update to your computer will void your computer warranty, unless of course they push the update to you..then it's different?? VZ needs to step up...no more Tweeting answers, no more cause I said so, Actual, factual answer as to why they are doing it this way...and yes, i'm calling Verizon out on this one.

dadsterflip

its not a leaked froyo version or Rom. So its official froyo

dadsterflip

If you rename it on your comp when you transfer it. It wont work because it would rename it to update.zip.zip. but rename it on the phone itself would be just update.zip

firestopper505

okay did the update from android central. all the **bleep** stress i did waiting, i decided to do it...lol

it was quick and painless besides having to do minor extra steps to do it versus the OTA. it took less than 10 minutes. has everything they said it would. call clarity seems crisp on the speaker the voice dialing is cool. good job to all involved

now i am wondering i thought in this update the home screen would beable to go landscape. correct me if i am wrong but i thought that was one of the changes. froyo is good for you...lol

also i put the "No Lock" app back so i can use any one of the keys to wake the phone and avoid the screen swipe. let me know if there is another option.

Just installed the update manually. Everything is up and working fine, as it should be and always has when androidcentral posts the info.

1. You absolutely CAN put the file on your desktop to rename before you move it to your phone. It'll work fine. If you do happen to have file extensions turned off so you can't see them in Windows, it gets a little tricky, but still no big deal. Make sure you follow directions and everything will be fine for you.

2. My one major comment is just this - These people were freaking out about receiving this??? Upset because it's taking so long? Why??? It does have different stuff in it, granted, but if this is all it takes to get you up in arms, I'd hate to see you in line at Wal-Mart when someone needs to go check a price. My goodness, I'll bet your head just about explodes.

3. This is how ALL of the updates work. They go out in groups. Always have, always will. Within a couple of days of starting, someone captures the image file and posts it online. It's always the same. If you're new to this, now you know. There isn't any need to get upset and it sure isn't going to make it happen any quicker, I promise. If you want it faster, do it yourself. If you're not new to this and you're still getting mad about it, then you obviously haven't learned anything from the past.

4. Also, as far as the warranty goes, I wouldn't sweat it. The manual update file on AC is the actual file that VZW sends out OTA. It's just that someone grabbed the URL it was coming from so the guys could download it manually and post it. There is absolutely no difference whatsoever in the update that is being installed from Android Central and the one that people are receiving OTA. None. Nada. Zip. There's honestly no way at all for VZW to know what method you used to get the update. Just delete the file from your SD card when you're done.

Anywhooooo... That's it folks. It's all good in the hood. For those of you who have increased blood pressure because of this, I recommend running over to AC and checking them out. Trust me, you'll feel better when you're done. One lesss thing to have a stroke about.

alotonmymind

got mine 1:10 indiana

dadsterflip

Thats what I said earlier. That there was no difference and works great. When you rename.the file just put update cause.your phone will add the zip other wise.it will.end up like. Update.zip.zip.

dadsterflip

So far everything is good but the 3g problem. It sometimes turns off and on . Just do *228 and usually fixes it.

MrDew

This guy is enjoying some froyo since 2:00pm eastern time down south in VA. Now just to sit back and see if that hurricane hits us or gives some massive waves.

I got the update this morning around 10:30, only took 10 minutes to get installed which was cool. But as soon as it was finished my default browser is dead. It attempts to load, and then I get "Sorry! The application Internet (process com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. "

On top of that I have a long list of Apps that launch without me launching them

Skype

Stocks

News

News and Weather..

VZNavigator

And QQ I have to pay to use the Mobile Hotspot.... defeats the purpose of having an Unlimited Data plan.... Maybe I can plug the DINC in like a USB Wifi-Card. Hrm..

Not for nothing, but I don't want these launching every 5 minutes or how ever often they are. ATK is the only thing helping me to save my battery, which is in the Red....

Guess I'm going into the store to have them fix my DINC..... I liked the default browser...... and those other apps launching is annoaying..
