Froyo

[Trident]

so verizon really got beat out by sprint...

The EVO is a few months old.. the Droid is turning a year old soon. That's pretty damn good for a somewhat old device, IMO.

Wow! Flash back to the 2.1 update. Can't get more realistic or accurate than what you just said.

Only thing to add...is "PROOF OR BAN!"

Yep..Forgot about that one!

Check out this page from motorola and tell me that froyo won't come out this week.

Remember this timeline comes straight from motorola. How much more official do you need an announcement to be?

THANK YOU KRATOS! This is what i wanted to see. i have faith in the community again, no more sitting in the corner, with my droid across the room, afraid to check my notification bar. sorry for posting so much, i'm a bit EXCITED! i've not been so excited about an OS before. i've never seen 2.2 in person. i hope its everything it's cracked up to be. i know not to expect much, "Yay, i have froyo...now what >.>" lol. Any word on Hulu support? i heard hulu doesnt like devices that arent PC's.

PS: i love you guys.

In my opinion, Froyo is a much bigger update than Eclair was. But I'm all about speed and Froyo definitely increases that, so perhaps that is why I consider a "bigger" update...

**EDIT** Not bad Bunie...4 posts and 3 thank yous...Good ratio!

So.. while we're waiting.. I thought I'd ask if you all were able to access Droid-Life. I'm interest to see where the URL redirects you..

 

[SSinisterSS]

if i get it during the night or if i come across the update.zip on droid life or something ill post it in a fresh topic so you can merge it to your sticky

Never mind.. a few minutes ago, whenever I tried to access Droid-Life.com, it would redirect me to this Verizon support site.

Weird..

droid-life is showing an easy root app? that roots your phone at the click of a button? seems to only work for Droid and claims to work for Droid X? lots of complaint comments. someone check it out, let us know if its okay to enter the...

Its 00:30, can I assume that if "checkin" every 5 min has not yet brought me fro-yo then it is not going to happen for me tonight?

maybe its pacific time? lol

 

[Thrux]

I am a patient noob awaiting the update while at work.

 

[ihaveadroid]

maybe its pacific time? lol

thats 36 more times to check until then haha

 

[IxI Dan IxI]

Well........ how does Verizon go about who to give the 10,000 users?

Does it go by date of activation?

Is it random?

 

[ihaveadroid]

i wonder if it gets pushed to a rooted phone and it reject the update if that count towards one of the 10,000

No... i guess they are reminded every 30 mins, until they install.

 

[Delirious17]

Aaaaaaah the wait is killing me

 

[Bunie]

i suppose this update isnt comming tonight, eh? Get some sleep everyone. even though its official, there was no official word on it being TONIGHT! the closest thing to that was some motorola guy's GUESS, he doesnt exactly know what verizon is doing. all we know for certain is that it will be this week. so take a deep breath, relax, and go to bed. we dont know if the numbers are 10k, or if its going to just be uploaded to the server and wait for droids to request it. all we do know for certain is that it is now 1AM, and not a single post on any site about someone getting it. expecialy no post with proof. the Droidx recieved an update not too long ago (no clue what it did..kindle?) everyone got it at the same time (or, when the phone did a request). i dont think the updates are "pushed" to you, but your phone does a version check. I don't know much, but i do know that if you sleep, your more likely to have froyo in the morning, than sitting up all night. I'm off to bed. i will try to get plenty of sleep for the rest of you. Goodnight, fellow nut-jobs. <3
