Get ready for OTA!!! (Build 494 and Software number 605.2)

[wase4711]

I got used to it on most of my previous phones, so between that, and not being able to voice dial over bluetooth, are the only 2 things that are keeping this from being a 100% perfect phone for me...

It would be nice if you did not have to use the power button to wake the phone up. (I did not try the Lockbot app others here were talking about.)

 

[Anonimac]

Software number from 605.0 to 605.2

 

[nstallion]

Oh snap, that's an extra .2!

 

[Todd M]

Software number from 605.0 to 605.2

Anon, do we know what fixes/updates this brings at this time?

 

[hornyhippo]

the first device that will getting the android 2.2 update will be nexus one, so no whoever thinks it's 2.2 froyo.

 

[armoredsaint]

hope it fixes the glitchy weather widget

Dude you Rock... Thanks for the heads up - subscribed

Good time to fix the itchy 3G and 1X that is affecting the battery life.

You guy have to understand that as soon as any smart is released there will be an OTA simply because alot of development has occured while all these phones have been sitting in their boxes for months while stock was being Mfred.

If someone gets the update, can you please do this before you accept it. and post the logcat.txt? Please this may help rooting.

How to get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:

Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone

$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt

This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:

W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/

You should see a link in the file like https: //android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/*****

Thank you for whoever can get this done

Everyone,

The Droid Incredible has a known issue with email and exchange servers at this time. When using Outlook Web Access to setup email on the phone and trying to use the Reply to All feature it will randomly pick contacts out of your contact list and forward the email.

To rectify this issue you must use one of the following solutions:

1. The IT Department of the Corporation using Exchange MUST provide POP3 or IMAP settings to setup email
2. The customer must use TouchDown software for a one time fee of $19.99. (Coogi says "I think its bull that we even have to tell someone to use this as an option the phone comes with)

THE ABOVE SOLUTIONS ARE THE ONLY TWO KNOW SOLUTIONS AT THIS TIME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO ASK.


Please read the actual memo from VZW.

Issue: Exchange Email only (On the native device email client for corporate use only. ):
• When an email is opened that has no recipients in the carbon copy (“CC” )field, if the user selects
”Reply All,” unintended recipients’ addresses can sometimes be added at random into the CC field from
previously received emails.
o POP/IMAP email accounts are not impacted.
o Third party apps, such as TouchDown, also not impacted.
Action: Sales Representatives need to qualify the customer during the sales process to identify if that customer
will use the native business/corporate email client with their DROID Incredible.
o If the customer acknowledges that they will use the native business/corporate email
client, communicate the information below:
“When replying to ‘all’ in an email, please ensure that there aren’t any unwanted or
unintended recipients in the ‘CC’ field before hitting the ‘Send’ button.”
Resolution: A fix for this issue is being tested now and will be released by May 6, 2010. You may communicate
this information to the customer, as well.
No action required for customers using consumer email services like AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, and the like.

HTC Incredible OTA Update Mysteriously Arrives! | Android Phone Fans

 

[Trooper]

I wonder what the mysterious update is.

 

[5thElement]

How is this a mystery? Ever smartphone get an OTA as soon as its released. Yes just days after release. These phones have been sitting in their boxes for MONTHS. There has been alot of development since then....

As for the Eris, it is last in line for any kind of OTA since its just an old outdated phone.

 

[The Antagonist]

Anonimac, what's your location? Anyone else receive any hint of this update yet?

 

[Todd M]

You guy have to understand that as soon as any smart is released there will be an OTA simply because alot of development has occured while all these phones have been sitting in their boxes for months while stock was being Mfred.

Try to sell that to all of us former Storm users. It took almost 6 months for the FIRST update, and there was a TON more early adopters for that.

The fact that this is coming this fast is a HUGE blessing (no matter how small the update is) for those of us from VZW BB land...

i'm not sure i understand your post. this isn't an update to the boxed ones that just got activated, in fact, this happens to be an update for a unit that was up and running days before the official release. The phone had the same revision as everyone else's phone but now it's been updated and some of the revision are changed as a result of it. I think this is a VERY relevant and important development as there is certainly something in the update that has been deemed important enough to push within the first week of the phone's launch. The Droid got its first update about a month after release.

These phones have been sitting in their boxes for MONTHS. There has been alot of development since then....

Now how is THAT possible? The final software build was approved at the end of March. Some folks got their phones shipped on preorder day. If anything, these phones have been sitting in boxes for 2, maybe 3 weeks tops.

Thanks anon! always great news here ;-).. I think i can see some Frozen Yogurt down the road ;-) What a guy can dream right...

 

[ffeingol]

I assume that there is no way to 'pull' this OTA and you just have to wait until it's pushed to your phone?

I thought I found a menu in setting or something for an OTA update check.

I just tried that, didn't work.

You can try Menu> Settings > About Phone > System Updates

See above ^
