thanks packet I am excited! And thanks for staying on topic here!

syntrix

Yeah, I'm talking about what you are not talking about. Probably caused some confusion here

Podunk is great, but their roaming rates are crazy expensive!

colnago

Not for me, through work, I get 50% off Data, and 35% off voice plans...and their 4G network is already up in my area.

The standard power widget has been changed in the update. If someone else hasn't done it by the time i get home I'll take a screenshot of it and post it.

colnago

The pic of the power widget is umm, already in this thread.

mikeruoc

So are people getting the update today? According to BGR we should not see any updates today as we are in the 48 hours window before they start pushing them out again on the 10th. Trying to figure out if that is really the schedule or if VZ is still slowly pushing out today. Last batch according to BGR was mid night.

Thanks

I second mike's post

htowngtr

What will the phone info be after update?

gonzoguy24

google it and you will find your answer

htowngtr

thanks, the standard jackazz response is needed

colnago

Its somewhere on page 1-3 of this thread.

htowngtr

It will show 2.01, I see.

Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer for 2.1

Redflea

Can someone who has 2.01 give this a try? Would be very cool if this works w/2.01!

Droid 2.0.1 users try out this HTC 2.1 keyboard?

gonzoguy24

well i am sorry but it was kinda the standard jackazz question. I could have googled it for you but I think you can handle it

colnago

I think that stems from peoples' lack of desire to be self sufficient, and stated lack of desire to search for answers to their problems, already documented, and preference to be spoon-fed. This situation is growing increasingly popular and creating more "clutter" on this forum. I believe "the regulars", my self included, are just getting tired of having to answer the same questions repeatedly, and having to wade thru redundant information, in order to stay current.

gonzoguy24

Thanks Colnalgo...it is just irritating when this information is all over the thread and someone comes in and asks that...

On another note...I think it is pretty sweet how FAST google shot this update out.

syntrix

Perhaps the droid is not for him? I think Jim coined that one on the vortex.

colnago

The iPhone's motto is, "There's an app for that", but unfortunately, the Droid's motto is becoming, "There's a thread for that".

However I thought that this was a Motorola based update, with 2.1 coming from Google?

gonzoguy24

Hmmm i dunno i would think google would handle everything with the OS but I cannot be sure about it. The storm's motto was "There's a thread for that" IMO. Anyway, it shows promise and that this device will become more and more polished. I think an update in only about a month is impressive.

colnago

Oh...I didn't know. Credit should go where its due.

I guess after helpin someone the other day, and then suggesting "search", politely, their response was that they didn't like it, because it basically "returns too much stuff"...that was the straw for me.

My key ring app is gone (I didn't have a short cut) and I can't find it on the marketplace. My phone updated to the new firmware (2.0.1) this morning. My backed up images for the key ring app are still on the SD card, however.

I just called VZW and told them I was having issues with my phone. Within 10 minutes, got a popup for the update. nice.

barry99705

So that's why their support line is ringing busy now....

kidqwik

Tried that. The tech didn't even really know there was an update. He told me they were rolling it out in stages and I'd either have to wait for it to hit whenever OTA or I could go into a store and they would be able to get the update on the phone.

I just called them and asked if they had any information about the OTA update, but he just said that they were segmenting it and wasn't really sure about who was getting it when. Oh well.

Just was told the same thing. In the stores now and to go in there and get it updated. Hmm maybe run at lunch.

Legacystar

Has anyone tried going into a vzw location and see if they can update the phone?

flakeparadigm

I may try calling in with an issue I have been having that's bothering me. We'll see, but I have to wait for lunch... only about 45 minutes.

syntrix

So we can conclude:

1. Someone at VZ can force update you, but not everyone at VZ can.

2. It was just luck on the timing, meaning that midnight releases could very well be false.

mystereon

I just called my local VZW store here in Redmond, WA and they said they could NOT perform the updates. Oh well :|

kidqwik

So I called up the store and they told me they couldn't do the update in store but that I'd have to wait for the OTA. So much for anyone at Verizon know what they're talking about at this point. What they SHOULD do is just make it that if you want to force the update upon yourself is that you can do it through a wireless connection instead of over the Network. Oh how it was so much easier to get updates on my Storm through websites since it was such drama for Verizon to actually be on the the ball with updates.

syntrix

Have you called VZ back with this info? I would demand the OTA Update, immediately!!!

Spbeyond

I hate to say this, i tried to give it time, and resetting my phone ect. But I am now getting force close's like mad! Expecially in the media player, gallery ect. This is frustrating.

longdaddy

I wished someone would have got the update zip off the sd card before updating its driving me crazy! the only thing im wanting to see if it helps my reception and if it does the other fixes is just iceing on the cake for me

Graz

I heard there was an OTA update for the Droid? Can someone confirm this for me?

spbeyond...what are you talking about? is it the new update causing this?

BucYouUp68

LOL..........

Spbeyond

Im not sure if the OTA update has caused this but I never had force close's before. I am going to re-upload my songs and see if this helps.

Spbeyond

I hope you are joking. If not JUST READ THE DANG THREAD.

garbageduck

to the people that have the update:
is the "in call" screen able to be in landscape now? with the phone in a dock or the keyboard open during a call, the incall screen is portrait pre-update, has this changed?

Graz

I tried to goggle it and nothing happened.

Anyways enough making fun of people who don't take the time to look for themselves... I'm still waiting patiently for my update. Nothing doing here in Chicago for me. Excited to see the suttle differences here!

kidqwik

I should just call them up and say "Who is the n00b that told me I could goto the store to update my Droid!?!?!" :-b

Spbeyond

To the person who asked, the incall screen remains portrait only.

garbageduck

that sucks hard, but thanks for answering me.

mswhite60

Oh oh....

Spbeyond

After deleting and re-adding my media i have yet to have another force close. Fingers crossed.

gonzoguy24

Hmmm i dunno why all your media would cause that problem? Anyways thanks for the post! I'll keep that in mind if I am having problems when I finally get the update.

A.C.Sanchez

I'm not sure I understand why that would be the cause of your problem.

syntrix

Goggle is Google's new image search. How did you get an image of the update with your camera? Were there any matches in Google's new Goggle search?
