As a long time Android user (G1 -> MyTouch -> N1) let me quell a few misconceptions I see running rampant here (these also ran rampant last summer with the fabled "cupcake" update debacle). Firstly, UI / phone specific updates get rolled out by the manufacturers, but NEVER directly to the customer OTA. OTA requires network access and is always routed through the carrier, and sometimes the carriers filter/modify/adapt specifics about the update. It seems that the more controlling about the features the carriers are, the longer it takes for them to check and modify the update contents- with AT&T we can be guaranteed that all future OS updates will be incredibly slow due to their crippling and bloating obsession. The only exception to this update pattern is/was the N1, but AT&T ignores it, and it is no longer being sold anyway. Secondly, the "check for updates" menu in settings doesn't really check anything (hasn't on any other Android device ever). It is where you go to once you are offered the update to download it, if you chose not to when you got the pop-up (like for battery reasons or whatever- also, while I am thinking about it, make sure you have plenty of battery before beginning any update or flashing a ROM if rooted). Thirdly, the pop-up will be either in the middle of the screen (kind of Handcent SMS pop-up style), or on some UIs as a notification that will say "system update available" and will have plenty of instructions. Lastly, everyone should be vigilant about this update, and there is an app in the market that is called "logcat" that will grab log files. Everyone should download this app and when notified of the update, decline, run logcat, and while running it go to settings, about phone, check for updates and download the update. Then, post the logcat log file from your SD card onto here, and we can filter through it to find the update link. Once we have the update link anyone and everyone can grab it by navigating to that url (at least this is how we have been getting updates on AndroidCommunity and XDA since the G1 days). Now, some caveats; this is AT&T we are dealing with here, so a timeline could be weeks, but as this update should be issue-specific I would hope that AT&T would see how necessary it is, and push it through quickly. Secondly, AT&T may block the URL method for grabbing the update, but we will only know if we try it. Originally there were worries that it was controlled like the update notification rollout itself- by IMEI #- but as I have said, it was found to work on every other Android phone I have had... I don't mean for this to sound corrective even condescending, but I have been around Android for a while and this is how it works. I hope this may clarify a little and stop some of the anxious speculation that is going on, as it has happened before and was miserable to bear through.
, oh well. Glad to see more confirmation
