Nothing in Erie pa either as of 10:11am guy in Columbus Ohio claims he got it and he's my neighbor practically I was in Cleveland yesterday so what the Hell lol where's our update!?
I'm a noob to this but I am running unrevoked on HTC Evo 4g. I have a pop-up on my phone now asking me to do a "System Upgrade 4.22.651.2 (109.21MB)" is this the update y'all are talking about? How do I go about updating with unrevoked?

FYI I live in the Houston, TX area.

No - that is the original GB release that was pushed out a week or so ago. You shouldn't apply this OTA update to your phone if you are rooted. Look for a new rooted ROM that you can apply instead. (I am not rooted, so can't tell you exactly which one)
They seriously need to bake a new batch, because this ginger was stale on delivery. Since this upgrade my voice to text doesn't work, neither does any of my apps that have compass functions. C'mon Google get it together!

Still no sign of fix for update in Erie pa!?!?!? I attempted all morning and nothing and just now I went to do a firmware update and it says firmware update couldn't be completed !?!? If problem persists contact customer service!?!? Anyone else having this issue!?
6/21 11:27am Nevada, no update yet. Am I one of the few that hasnt recieved the update yet?
Try rebooting (restarting) & if that doesn't work - try pulling battery.
I know after rebooting this AM, it came on for me when I checked for HTC SW updates.
every since I updated to the latest update gingerbread, my (call history) no longer displays how long I was on a call, this is really making me mad, why on earth would this update remove that feature is beyond me, is there a way to get it back to display the length of time I was on a phone call in my call long, this feature has always been on my EVO since I bought it, any help or suggestions guys?

Thanks for the tip but they both do not work. It still keeps asking me if I want the 3.70 updaye and not the 4. something update for gingerbread. Nomunk, aee you sure about that cause I am still on the 3.2 software build and they dont have the timelog on there either. It took that feature off way before gingerbread since I dont have gingerbread and it still doesnt tell me how long I've been on the phone for.
I have had no issues with my phone since the Gingerbread release, and the small maintenance release I got today.
Prior to the GB update I had rooted my phone. When GB wouldn't load on a rooted phone, I reloaded my saved ROM, installed GB and away I went. All downloaded apps work.
For those having issues with trying to get the update, keep pressing the HTC software update option. I had to do this twice today to get the maintenance upgrade and at least three times before the GB upgrade would initialize.
Good luck

Reason: poor english..lol
When I press "Check Now" it seems it's stuck on the "Checking..." phase. Does this just mean that the update is not available yet?
I had to do a factory reset to get my phone off of stupid...mine was stuck looking for update too. After reset, update was available...still working on bugs though with new system...good luck!

See, that is what I am asking about. It isn't just stuck looking for the update nor I am having problems updating anything. Whenever I click on the HTC Software update. What comes up is this.. "A system update is available.. Would you like to download the following system software update? -System Upgrade 3.70.651.1 (58.11MB) - FOTA update. " And that is the only update that keeps coming up, whether I reboot the cell phone, take out the battery and even factory reset the cell.
Still no voice to text And seems like issue only with evo 4g . Closing all apps now makes sense reload white htc screen tried everything. Is htc really paying attention to user issues been almost 2 weeks and no acknowledgement that anything is in the works. And seems like issue only with evo 4g
So I downloaded the upate, has anyone noticed any differences?
Be sure to do a factory reset after you have downloaded Gingerbread 2.3.3 with the latest build number 4.24.651.1 Nothing on your SD card will be affected but it will delete all apps you have downloaded. Your Evo 4G will thank you for the reset by turning back into a superfast flawless phone.
Saturday, July 23rd... 1:23pm PST. No update to Gingerbread yet... Nevada. I am still on 2.2
You're not rooted, are you? Rooted phones don't get the OTA updates like non-rooted phones.
If you're not rooted the first thing you have to do is update your firmware. IIRC you cannot get the Gingerbread update until your firmware is up to date. But everyone on a non-rooted Evo should have gotten he update by now.

No, I am not rooted at all. I am updated as far as I can tell..

Is this really necessarily a must? Its seems ever since me and my wife updated to the great bread of ginger , it seems almost everytime we exit an app or anything the screen goes with with the green HTC logo and then has the loading rectangle box for a few seconds before the phone can do anything else.
And if I do a factory rest wont the updates go back to out of the box versions?

I finally let Sprint do the update and all related maintenance fixes yesterday. After a few hours of replacing apps and layout, everything is fine except for the same issue you have. Unless I back out screen by screen, I get the HTC logo and a "minor reboot". Other than that, I'm happy with Gingerbread...so far.

Did the factory reset last night and the phone is pure kick a** now. No more HTC screen or minor rebbot after backing out of things anymore and the phone is lightning fast.....
It was a pain in the but DLing all my apps and putting the phone settings back to my liking , but it was well worth it. Going to do the same to my wife's phone tomorrow....
What is this update everyone is talking about..and what kind of update are we suppose to be getting.
I wouldn't know and it has been 9 months and still NO Gingerbread update on my phone. Does anyone know what I can do or should I just give up and buy a new phone? I hate buying a new phone to get new features but some how I am screwed out of gingerbread with this one. Android Version, 2.2 Baseband Version, 2.15.00.09.01 Kernel Version, 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e Software Number, 3.29.651.5 System Upgrade, 3.70.651.1

If you go to Settings -> System Updates -> HTC Software Updates, is the box checked to receive them automatically? Have you tried pressing the "Check Now" button? What happens? If that doesn't work, we can still get you the latest official update .

Gingerbread is good
I got my update almost a month ago and it has been good for me.
Until the update, my EVO 4G had started doing some screwy things, like typing all by itself. As I detailed in other posts, I figured there was something seriously wrong with my phone.
Then the OTA update came and seemed to have cleared up my problems.
The only problem I do seem to have is the minor reboots after using the browser for an extended period of time. My guess it is the Android system trying to dump full temporary memory. While it is annoying, it is a minor annoyance.
So for the most part, I do like Gingerbread.
On question, I see everyone saying that a Factory Reset is recommend. Is this something I really need to do ?
I am hesitant to do it because I really do not want to have to reinstall a bunch of my app and redo my current setting.
