Droid eye boot, 3G mobile hotspot, and 720p video recording on it's way apparently!

 

I've been all over the internet and it seems to be legit.

 

When? Not sure, but it's supposedly ready to roll.  

 

I'm so excited this phone is being opened up to it's full potential.

 

The best like to all the information I found that's cut and dry is here.

 

The new boot animation video is here. The new boot is not so much a big deal but it's just a little boost in hope. I can't tell for sure if this person Rworded the phone but hey it's fun to watch!

 

OTA Update soon? Update this thread if you know!

Due to the possible update to Froyo 2.2 (combination 720p etc) update rumored to roll out soon I am closing this thread. This thread started as a 720p, Hotspot, Boot Animation thread way before it was decided (vzw) to roll them all into one update. This thread evolved into 2.2 talk eventually and became a useful one at that. Problem now is it's not titled correctly, and better/actual 2.2 threads are available. Additionally, (mainly) I do not want this site to be loaded later by users seeking help (post 2.2 update) and gettting totally confused as to what this is all about, or getting wrong information. So I'm solving this thread and it's closed. 

 

Thank you for the 13544 views and 143 comments!

It was fun and I hope to nail a good thread like this in the future!



GO FROYO!

How is it spamming out when the other update fixes call quality issues.  I know there are many people who might return the Incredible if the update doesnt address these problems and thus getting this part out and working might save them some money and customers.

 

There is a new leaked update dated yesterday, no idea if that is a good thing or not but would love to see it work relatively bugless.

According to an updated posted on the Androidguys forums HTC has handed the update over to Verizon, so of course we are stuck here waiting on fixes to our phones from Big Red and their less than expeditious techs.

 

Hey Verizon, Lets go already, the older Motorola's and Newer Evo's are getting this update, STOP ignoring the Incredible!

I think this update when released won't fix all problems. I don't really know who to point the finger at, HTC or vzw. I do know that this phone lacks not only support but accessories. (compared to other more popular phones)
I refuse to be another Eris owner. If this update makes any aspect of the phone worse ill be phone shopping again.

stop telling people who want their phone to work better to be patient. it's your fault if you're ok with a phone that doesn't have the best features and has call quality and battery life issues that could be fixed with an update. why would anyone get a hight end phone like the incredible and not want it to have the newest features and work like it should?

Heard the update closes one of the root options. There's leaked versions of 2.2 out there but they're still buggy for the most part, not worth risking.

There are fixes for the bugs.  I have uh heard that it is much faster with better battery life and new software for the radio which gives much better signals.

Yea, I saw the fixes. I'm still probably gonna wait for the official OTA to hit before I try going that route (for the first time).

well if the evo is getting it, then i think you now know who to point the finger at. and yes, the lack of accessories is absurd. no dock, no case for an extended battery......i too refuse to be another eris owner. this was the FIRST of all the greatest devices this summer....and it appears that they have already given up on it? i may just have to check out the droid 2 when it comes out. i'm a (or was) a huge fan of htc. but vzn seems to pay them no mind? the eris had so much potential, and so did the inc.....but it seems that vzn will focus on motorola and other devices (lg, samsung, etc). i still love the phone, but there is soooooo much more potential. and when we do get the update it would be nice to have a case for a battery that would actually support watching an entire movie in hd.....and a dock to use to actually download said movie!!!!

yes, clearly verizon doesn't like htc or the incredible and they are leaving it in the dust. they could at least give us two things. one would be real information about what is taking so long and the other is the maintenance update that includes hd video. i heard that another lesser phone is getting one of those maintenance updates from tmobile. why can't verizon do that?

Beginning to think that Verizon Wireless and the Droid Incredible combination may have been a mistake.  Sprint is looking better all the time based on what I am seeing and reading. It is a wonderful device but doesn't seem to be favored by VzW.

OK folks, Evo is a 4G phone and is the current flagship of HTC US.  It got a little more aggresive in the update.  That isnt on either VZW or HTC.  However, if we dont see Incredible get it within 2 weeks, I will join the lynch mob!

Sprint has different testing policies.  Verizon's policy makes a 2 month process from the time HTC completes the update.  If any part of the update doesn't work it comes back and the 2 months starts over.  Rules is rules and in one sense it is what keeps our network stable and larger than others.  If you want bleeding edge you can do it, but there is a price to pay.

Yeah, I went through all this "wringing of the hands" and "drooling" when I had the Eris... So let me just be thankful for the DINC!  It's miles better than what I had!  I'm enjoying not dropping calls... a kickin' camera... and a fast interface!  And I wouldn't have Sprint's signal strength anyway!  When the update comes, then my phone will be all that the EVO has (for the most part) and the BEST signal and coverage.  What good is 4G anyway without a network to back it up?  I guess to say you had the status of having a  "4G phone" is worth more to some people than me!  As they say:  IT AIN'T ALL THAT!

spoke with verizon again. we will get an update to 2.2. i think it will be in september. i don't see a separate maintenance update coming. time to either wait it out even though other phones are getting it first or go get one of those other phones. i plan on waiting
