Is this the OTA 2.1? If so can you post it for all of us to have?

 

[fussgeist]

Can some one explain what PRI, PRL, and ERI are.
All the items are the same compared to the 2.1.v3 except the PRL, mine has 51866.
and has anyone with a leak version had an OTA yet?

 

[BoBiGi]

Yes it is the 2.1 OTA. I was on 1.5.
Sorry, the update came through while the site was down. I hadn't read the posts concerning posting the update

Specs for transmitting data (voice). PRL is the "Preferred Roaming List" and would be different among Verizon's roaming partners.

To my knowledge, leak users are not receiving the OTA yet; at least from what I'm reading.

Ah damn ok. well what happened like how did you get the notification that you were available to update or did you just notice it in the notifications bar?

 

[BoBiGi]

I was playing Replica Island.....phone vibrated as if I were getting an email notice, game just quit, phone went to homescreen and there was a notifier in the notification bar. It said there was a system update available. I clicked on it and began the installation procedure. It took at least 30 minutes to complete the download. Phone is snappier and seems to be smoother as well. Only thing that is a problem is the Htc Weather app is not working.....Other than that, I'm liking it ALOT BTW all my applications were in place, backed up with Astro. I had to sync contacts and calendar through Google.

Try turning on the Power Control widget and hitting the little circle-with-arrows 'sync' button. Oh, and make sure your mobile network is actually on.

Oh, post a review. A REVIEW I SAY!

Thanks ScarcleyAware! Mobile Network is on, hit the sync button, no joy, weather app still a.w.l. I've done the *228 reprogramming......not a technical whiz here

Review
Pros:

Made and received a few calls this morning, no noticeable dialer lag
Tried out Navigation, it's way cool! Works great!
Easier to make calls by way of People app improvements
Love the ability to hit home button to get a look at all screens
Market is vastly improved
No lag when text messaging

Cons:

Signal strength is at 94dBm - ran at 84 dBm consistently before update
Only 1 bar - had 3 bars consistently before update
Weather App not working

Can't comment on battery life yet.....
Haven't tried Bluetooth yet....

I'm sure I will be discovering more about the update as the day goes on. But, so far so good

Yep, both were on.

Just making sure, but can you pinch-to-zoom in the Maps app now?
How's HTC keyboard's lag when in landscape mode (you know, when you text with two hands)

 

[BoBiGi]

lol.....two hands.....
No pinch to zoom in maps, still has the magnifier icons
Had to try landscape mode....I'm quicker in portrait....I didn't notice a huge lag, but as I said I always use portrait. Sorry not much help there!

This *MAY NOT* be relevant, concerning the weather app. When the OTA for the Incredible was pushed last week for some exchange issues/bug fixes my HTC Weather app did not work correctly for several hours (most of the day in fact) then it started working as it was supposed to. It could possibly be a similar issue, and if it is, then it is self correcting.

 

[BoBiGi]

Thanks AdmSuvvuk for the info. I'm hoping this will be a self correcting issue! I work out side everyday and plan my days in advance according to the weather......In Tucson the weather is ever changing Thanks again!

ive yet to see any proof that anyone got this at all

 

[mtmwalrod]

BoBiGi, did you have problems with the size of the memory needed? it stopped part way through and had to delete some text messages on mine, it needed 25mb. looks like it took it all

 

[bcltoys]

I was going to say that two, big hoax.

 

[char561]

There are pictures and videos of people getting and installing the update...

 

[donnakd]

I got it this morning. My hubby hasn't got it yet, not sure why. This is what mine says....hope this is what you are asking, I am not very tech savvy...
firmware version...2.1
baseband version...2.42.00.04.12
kernal version...2.6.29-8a03cb9a
htc-kernel@and18-2#1
(don't know why that was made blue and underlined)
build number...2.36.605.1 CL165907 release-keys
Software number...2.36.605.1
Browser version...WebKit 3.1
PRI Version...40062
ERI Version....5

I guess I can get a picture with my daughters Motorola desire and try to get it on here if it would make you feel better. I have no reason to say I got it if I didn't.

 

[NickDroid86]
