It's August 16th and we have yet to see Android OS 2.2 (Froyo).

[Nismo6921]

Okay Verizon is it now or never...We've given you a lot time. We even gave you an extra day according to the rumors we all saw online. Which I admit I have seen one story that said August 16 is the day of release for Froyo for the Droid products that have not received it yet. Why have you still not released the update yet? Do we need to stand outside your cooperate buildings with signs saying "We want Froyo" is that the kind of motivation you need? (I don't recommend doing this.)
Look we are all patient, loyal, mature, paying customers right? Give us some kind of clue of when you are planning to release it. Why do you have to keep the new software a secret from us? We know its coming we just have no idea when, and we are tired of being left in the DARK! Please let us know something, please give us a date. Please stop teasing us with Ooo's and Ahh's We want Froyo and we want it now!  On an additional note, I have no idea if anyone from Verizon actually reads this. I'm hoping they do but really this is to grab the attention of all the customers like me that are tired of Verizon being the only company that severely hides any information and delays every update for every phone they have ever released. If you feel the same way I do please submit a letter in writing to Verizon Cooperate or post a message on their Twitter or post a
question on their Support Forum. Do something to grab their attention cause they need to know their customers mean business. Thank you to whoever reads this and I hope you share my grief's.

All the rumors are pointing to August 18 as the date as well as the android forums. Hopefully the Incredible will see it in 2 days but who knows. My Eight Ball app says reply hazy try again. So take it for what its worth.

Okay so two more days...I shall wait and see what happens.

[dabubbakin]

I smashed my 8 ball last month when we lost 720p! But..... who knows. Maybe this is it?

All I can say for sure, based on my experiences, is that after I get it, I'll have it, and no sooner.

let them work everything out. trust me...you DO NOT want an update that's not as ready as it can be. see all eris users and the 2.1 update for reference! it was a nightmare.

+1! This is just a carbon copy of waiting MONTHS for the 2.1 update for the Eris. People yelled and screamed and complained that they wanted their update and they wanted it NOW! Then when they got it, they yelled some more about the bugs. HTC Sense just makes getting it right that much tougher. It'll come when it comes.

I've also seen this link that claims to be from a reliable source:
http://www.usanewsweek.com/news/HTC-Droid-Incredible-Getting-Android-2-2-Update-Aug-18-1281959240/
So that's two confirmed sources saying tomorrow is the day, lets hope it's true.

Might be put off a little because there was a delay with the Droid OTA.  Not sure where it is standing currently.  HTC has posted the source for both the Kernel and the 2.2 port so it can't be too much longer.  It is obviously ready to go if they have already posted it on their site. 

[AZSALUKI]

droid users began getting it yesterday.......the other thing that started yesterday? complaints about their devices not working.

Good Morning Everyone,

I'd like to welcome you to August 18th 2010, the day Verizon will once again dissapoint a lot of their customers. To those who said I may have spoke too soon about my assumption of how much Verizon actually cares about their customers, I want you to notice how obvious it is that Verizon is still witholding Android OS 2.2 (Froyo) over our heads like a jocky would would use a carrot to get a horse to keep on walking forward. We are blindly believing and hoping that every rumor we hear is true, while Verizon employess (wether they have Froyo or not) are sitting back and laughin at us. We should not take this so lightly, we should act in the manor as I have mentioned previously. The only way to get through to these people is to unite our efforts and peirce through their front lines head-on (I know you like that war-tactic referrence) but seriously the best way to do that is to compose letters and send them off, or send emails to them, or call them and call them frequently - post here, post on their facebook, post on their twitter. Make our demands heard, we know Froyo is ready look how many devices and other cellphone carriers are already using it. HTC is probably wondering why Verizon is taking so long to release this update as well, I assume this because they have already released the source code for the Froyo update on their website - some people say thats like a direct slap in the face to Verizon, I tend to disagree thats not slap thats a freaking WAKE UP CALL!!! And I don't know if you notice but Verizon still has yet to confirm the date themselves all "supposed ligitimate" confirmations have been by thrid party sources or by employess of Verizon that say the outlook on testing progress look good...OK! Well if thats the case then release it. Trust me if there are issues your devoted customer will be more than happy to let you know whats not working properly so you can get it fixed in a timely fashion. Truth is isolated phone testing will not narrow down all possibilities for errors, due to the fact real time everyday life testing (which can only be done by collecting infomation from customer) is not possible, giving out the update and letting the users find out all the bugs (if any come up) is the best form of testing for any new software. But whatever so it's the 18th they are saying Verizon has got it now and are testing which means they are gonna sit on it for a while, and by the way the lastest rumor is a rollout over OTA should be available by this weekend, buy ya for the love of God don't hold your breath cause you will die.

kthxbai!

{please keep your posts courteous}

btw - I have been a very happy owner of the D INC since I placed my pre-order on DAY 1

{please keep your posts courteous}

[barbshop]

{please keep your posts courteous} We're not talking about a cure for cancer here.  We've got an "incredible" phone (pardon the bad pun), and it's going to get better.  I'm looking forward to the update as well, but I can't imagine my life ever being so empty that I'd lie awake at night desperately waiting for a software update to a cell phone.  I've got camcorders, and hd recorders, and cameras, and computers, and so I've got plenty of tech gadgets to keep me busy.  So sit back, enjoy the phone, and one day sure enough you'll get your wish, and a night's sleep.

[AZSALUKI]

you're only disappointed if you actually thought you'd have froyo by now. i'm not disappointed. i chose a device based on what i thought was the best for me and what was available at that time.....not for the potential it had or for possible future updates. to me, the updates are just a bonus or enhancement. if i had to have froyo, i would've waited for a device that came with it.

[FramCire]

I am disappointed because there are fixes rolled into this update that I NEED!

HOWEVER, how can people blame Verizon for not meeting dates THEY NEVER SET!   They never promised August 18th or any date in August!

Also, Droid and Evo have had issues with their updates.  Would you rather get a buggy update or a closer to perfect one?  If you want a buggy one, enjoy... not me!

[AZSALUKI]

fram...i understand those of you who need it for the fixes. however, if the device doesn't work properly, why not just make vzn replace it? the only reason i mention this is because peeps started speculating in june about when we'd get froyo. it is now august and i suspect it will be AT LEAST september before inc users get froyo. i would make vzn replace my device now if it wasn't working properly......rather than wait until who knows when, for the update. they started rolling out to droid users over 2 weeks ago. they immediately had to stop (had issues....who coulda known?...lol). they then started again 2 days ago and it appears that maybe half of the droid users actually already have it? i can't imagine they would start rolling it out to inc users until thay have completed the droid ota update?

I use Launcher and have over 200 apps.  Replacing my phone is not a good option if the update will fix it.  HOWEVER, my replacement was sent yesterday to be received tomorrow.  While waiting, I am trying yet another new PRL and I am calling a person in executive relations to find out what is going on.  VZW was reluctant to send out another Incredible until the update went through, because they didnt think the replacement was likely to help.  HOWEVER, Verizon has treated me very well and even called me once, so I have no complaints except I really want the fixes.

I was told almost 2 weeks ago that they fully expect to be releasing it within 30 days but we all know how upgrades can be pushed back.

As for the other poster,   You have no proof that the OTA is ready to roll yet.  It does look like it is close but we don't know it is ready.  Also, there is a chance they are waiting for the Droid update to be done to start rolling Incredibles.  If so, they wont make an official announcement until the Droid updates are almost complete.

[Nismo6921]

Ahem FramCire sir or maddam whichever it may be, if you will notice in my rant above I mentioned that Verizon has never set a release date themselves and we have just been believing rumors. So I'm not blaming Verizon for not keeping true to a release date (since like you said) none exists. I'm rather disappointed in the fact that the update is READY and they have not yet released it because the Verizon employees wanted to play with it before anyone else did. That is all.

[AZSALUKI]

they aren't sitting around laughing at us while they (employees) are just playing with froyo. that's absurd. they are rolling out right now to droid users and having issues. if you want it that badly, there are ways to get it. and vzn knows this and doesn't want us going that route so i really doubt they are just hangin out and playin around, causing many people to go the "other route."

If I could give you a 1000000 kudos all at once, I definitely would.  I wanted the update badly because the site that I visit frequently requires flash, so I went the other route! I have been enjoying the Froyo features for over 2 weeks now on my incredible with no regret what-so-ever! Flash works great and the 720 hd recording is just awesome!
