Rumor: Froyo OTA Update for DROID Delayed Until August 12th? (Updated) | Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog


good news is you can still root

They had this to say if you dig through the links...

Motorola and Verizon are pulling all FRG Froyo builds and ceasing any current plans to update to Froyo. Seems there is a problem between Google and Adobe concerning flash, rights, and royalties. This comes as quite a surprise to us as it will others.

Seriously? You would have thought all of those things would have been worked out before they even pushed an OTA update to one person. So I guess this means stock Froyo is probably a long ways off now if they are fighting about rights and royalties. I don't know if I believe this rumor.

 

[digdug1]

i know right? the thing is, this is not stated to be a rumor and droid-life as well as mydroidworld are reliable sources for info. i guess time will tell

 

[IxI Dan IxI]

I don't get it......so. no froyo now.

**** verizon and moto......lol

 

[Slagg3r]

Hope they do. Would be nice to get some official word on what's going on.

 

[3DCadman]

What about the people who got the "test" builds of FRG01B?

Mandatory System Update: DROID by Motorola

 

[Caveman419]

So what does this mean for the Droid 2 that is launching with 2.2? So far all of the adds that have been put out talk about Flash support. Flash-Lite for all?

It seems ridiculous to pull an update just because there is a conflict with an add-on. They still could've released the update and blocked access to the Flash extension. I'm going to have to completely disagree with not continuing Froyo for Droid. I mean, it's already out for other devices.

On another note, this doesn't affect me because I've been rooted since the dawn of time - not really, but since really close to launch.

 

[drudometkin]

This is false. The update is still being pushed.

I have to agree with you on this one. It seems a hugely bogus reason to delay and possibly cancel the update. I know it's the biggest selling point of Froyo, however there are plenty of other enhancements that we're all looking forward to. I personally am looking forward to the bluetooth voice dialing. http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/moto_droid.pdf
Follow that link to see all the bennies Verizon is claiming froyo will bring to the Droid.

Really?

 

[digdug1]

it is stupid i know and i dont agree with for the record! but the source is from admin over at mydroidworld. not some random poster. he lists other reasons as well but none that he can discuss at present time so i guess we'll have to wait and see

Basically they said, **** it. I think, lol.... Figures!

 

[digdug1]

well as reported by another poster, motorola has pulled their support page for the 2.2 update. not a good sign for the frg builds coming any time soon.

 

[Optimus]

Probably having trouble fixing some of the issues. I wouldn't sweat it, they'll send out an update eventually. If not, there are still 2.2 mirrors out there. I have it installed on my phone already, works great.

 

[IxI Dan IxI]

2.2 Froyo was promised to us.............

It was promised to us............. they just can't bail out of that can they?

 

[digdug1]

fear not the above link has a second update!! updates to resume on monday??

 

[TharOosta]

Rumor is Droid X will get Gingerbread before we get Froyo.

 

[IxI Dan IxI]

fear not the above link has a second update!!

holy crap!

in before update 3.... we have reports saying update 2 is wrong....lol

 

[Jebus]

Rumor is Droid X will get Gingerbread before we get Froyo.

Lies. Gingerbread won't be out til around October, or even November. I'm sure that we will get Froyo before this month ends.

 

[johnlgalt]

Wow, the sarcasm went right over your head

 

[kratos]

Lies. Gingerbread won't be out til around October, or even November. I'm sure that we will get Froyo before this month ends.

Heck, at the rate we are going, I bet the Droid X gets German Chocolate Cake before we get Froyo!

Kratos

 

[digdug1]

yeah but just think you could have a htc hero and be waiting on 2.1 still!
