I think I will sit this one out.

I checked for the update last night after 11PM EST and had it, so far it works fine for me...I have noticed I am able to better text and not have the words get all messed up even if i pressed the space bar

Has anyone installed the leaked version .2 and was able to get the newer OTA .3?  I havent and want to know if i have to go download the RUU.

[PJNC284]

Most likely no since they usually only supply update paths from the latest "official" release.

[Sborden]

Thanks PJNC

Is it being rolled out to everyone at once or in stages?

I'm getting "No New Software Update Available" when I do Check New.

[AZSALUKI]

"supoesedly" this one was supposed to be available immediately, to everyone. something to do with how they pushed it...and they weren't going to do it in stages.....but i don't know?

[nathang]

I've tried 4g, 3g and 1x and keep getting No New Software Update Available.

Anroid 2.2.1

Baseband 1.39.00.0508w, 0.01.69.0510w_3

Kernel 2.6.32.21-g0606a3a

Build 1.66.605.2

Software 1.66.605.2

I don't know what the deal is when even people that are rooted say they are getting the notification.

I don't have task killer or juice defender installed.

You have an earlier version. I have not completed the Gingerbread update so I am still on FroYo. Software version 1.70.605.0

[brostrom715]

same here. it says there is no new software. cmon!!

[dragon68]

I am getting the No Updates Available also. Like before, hope don't have same troubles getting update. Will give a few days to see.

What is the overall reaction to GB? Legitimate kudos or complaints.

[AZSALUKI]

the voicemail notification is broken....for everyone. it's not just some. other than that, it looks pretty clean.

Azsaluki i allways thought gingerbread was supposed to be good   like at grandma's house but i'm getting to think it's starting to taste like sour Lemon's as >> as many phones it's affecting with these little issues.   just a thought.   B33

overall, i think it's pretty good....but i don't get many calls so the voicemail issue is no biggie to me. however, i can see where it would be a HUGE problem for many and i still can't believe the released this, knowing it was broke. as far as updates go though, GB for the tbolt has appeared to be smoother than most of the previous updates for any android device (including GB for other devices). froyo was a MESS on many devices and GB has been a mess on some of the older devices (X, incredible, etc). i would give this an A if VM notification worked.....but since it doesn't, i'd give it a B+

[dragon68]

AZSALUKI...thanks. Hopefully I get update without having to send them my info again. But nice to know they actually monitor the forum. Just in case.

After the update GTalk flashes on then immediately stops working and must be forced stopped. No front or rear camera; flashes to icon then immediately returns to home screen. When's the fix?

[gina7289]

Update Was cancelled supposedly because of issues.

Got the Update A little after midnight the day it came out.

Performace wise phone seems to run alot smother and the batery life althou nothing to write home about is some what improved. SKYP works great over 4G, 3G and WiFi and with the FFC. I have not had any truble with G-Talk (Tride it once if you go under seting you have the option to alow video)

I Realy like the added quick seting tab in the notification pull down. Quite handy to have. Did not notice alot of added APs so no complaints there realy. The AP Draw alows me to sort between all APs, Down Loaded APs, Favorits, and VZW. My only complaint is that it's not customizable. My wifes Droid 2 can create new folder (Draws?) Id have loved to be able to do that.

The Car Dock AP is broken which is a pain but hopefuly will be adressed I dont' have the Voice Mail Glitch because i use G-Voice untill it gets fixed thouse dealing with it might want to consider third party options. There normaly free and easy to set up. Other then that no realy complaints for me.

Update: Well when I tried the G-Talk Video Chat I simplty did it to see if it works. What i failed to notice is that it only worked with my back camera and not the FFC. Dose anybudy know of a work around for this?? I have looked in setting and found nothing and no option to switch the camera during the chat. SKYPE as I mentioned dose work great thou, but I have contacts that use both so Im hoping to find a way to get G-Talk to work...
