Gotta be more people that went to that meeting. So two of us said we knew someone with that info and one person showed an htc Dev phone running it.

Ha ha man it IS hard to tell. I honestly don't know if he was being sarcastic but it sounds like it

I have an HTC Incredible and got the software update 2 days ago. 720p and 3G Mobile Hotspot is definitely on there

Since you got the update, have you noticed any change in the camera quality? Not the video but tyre regular camera?

I'll believe this when the guy posts a video in 720p OF THIS THREAD! That will prove it's legit since it's obviously made recently. Plus a picture of his Incredible taking the video! lol.. Skepticism ftw..

I'm still curious as how he dl OTA via wifi.
Doesn't that imply website to dl from?
Am I missing something?

Are you being serious or trolling? The very fact that this fake topic is the only source for a very poot attempt at blog journalism only reinforces the idea that this is all BS. Froyo will not come to the dinc soon. Soon being within the next 30 days.

If by soon you mean something else then you are doin it wrong.

The HTC dude did not say anything about 720p or hotspots. He told me the main reason for the update was to fix/improve:

1. Garbled call quality
2. Phone reception
3. Signal bar accuracy

I would have thought he would mention at least the hotspot feature.... Then again, my call was in regards to the garbled sound when listening to calls. He brought up the other things anyways.

BTW, the 65nm Snapdragon is not exactly the best chipset for 720p. Even with decent drivers, something has to be compromised to make it work, so pick your setting to drop:

1. Framerate
2. Resolution (defeats 720p point, of course)
3. Bit rate

Even the newer 3630 45nm chipset is not exactly going to trick people in thinking the output is not coming from a phone. Form factor and heat are the current enemies of these devices. By default, form factor always will be.

Well it may not be Froyo, but an OTA fixing call reception and giving us Mobile Hotspot and 720p video capability would be very well recieved indeed!

 

[waynester]

1. Garbled call quality
2. Phone reception
3. Signal bar accuracy

These above are much more important to me than hot 720p spot

Little birdie told me about verizon talking about releasing froyo soon but before that an ota for 720p video and 3g hot spot. Just telling you what I heard from verizon/htc... that a birdie overheard

EDIT: HTC first to get froyo, mobile hot spot is $20 a month

If your already paying for tethering, is it another $20 for host spot?

Ok I have been reading about the OTA update for Dinc...but I don't see any difference with Inc. I rebooted my phone, didn't see any changes. Checked the systems update and its uptodate "version 2.1update1". I checked the camera video setting and no 720p setting. So what do I have to do to get the update?

 

[gbenj]

I would seriously doubt that, but its verizon so anythings possible.

But from their perspective it shouldnt matter if you're tethering via hotspot or wired tethering.

Just saw this on Phandroid. New animation is awesome! Too bad if we run OTA we lose root...

how did they do that?

 

[howarmat]

associated it with the droid phones lol

 

[Liquoredolce]

nobody's gotten it yet except HTC insiders. You'll know when you do because it will prompt you.

Apparently it's a huge update and you will need to be on wifi to receive it.

Dont' worry, it will be obvious.

 

[DavidinGA]

Where's this OTA? I never got it...

 

[thirtyfour41]

well last time i check, it is a droid phone

 

[appleaj]

Anyone got the OTA update yet? I just checked and there's nothing for me.

 

[appleaj]

I wouldn't say it ruined it for me, but I'm not a big fan either.

 

[Itlooksfast]

Ok...yea I heard its like 22mb...but I'm always on wifi. Well I figured since it was suppose to be out on June 28...I would get it by now lol. Thanks for the reply.
