Tell "the situation" he is a disrespectful dipshit. He has some nerve treating women that way. I hope some day he gets a taste of his own medicine.

I also hope im a good enough dad to somehow keep my daughter away from this type of trash

/rant

Honestly I've never even watched a single episode of that show. Not into lame crap like that. I don't even go to Seaside much anymore since I had my daughter. I got better things to do than go hang out with a bunch of drunk ******s. It's hilarious that you said that though, I would've put money on someone mentioning the show when I wrote jersey shore! I almost just wrote central jersey instead. :)

mine did I used the following.....
http://android.clients.google.com/p...on_WWE_3.21.605.1_1.22.605.2_release_sign.zip

and these instructions.......FLAWLESS!

The update worked for me also.

To this poster here are the details on how to do this:

First download the file which you find in this thread. It will go wherever you save it. Save it to your desktop on your computer. Do NOT unzip the file on your computer. Leave it exactly as it is on your desktop.

next...

Plug your phone into your computer. Click your SD card. Drag the file that you downloaded into your SD card. Not in any of the folders you have created on your SD card. Drag it as if it's an entirely new folder.

next...

Rename the file, you can do this on your computer. After you dragged it right click it and rename it. If you have extensions hidden it will not show .zip. In which case it will just have the file name with no .zip at the end of it. So just name it, "update." If you do have extensions showing then make sure it says, "update.zip." Again, if you don't have the extensions to files already showing, meaning if it doesn't already say .zip then don't add .zip too it.

next...

Power your phone off. Once off, hold the volume DOWN button down and press power at the same time and wait for it to power on. Once powered on you will see a boot screen. Scroll down to recovery with your volume rocker and hit the power button to select it.

next...

You will get a blank screen with a red triangle. At this point hold the volume UP button and press the power button at the same time. Now it will appear where it says something in the nature of putting on, "update.zip." Scroll down with your volume rocker and push the power button to select this.

next...

It will install. After done installing it will bring you to the screen it was previously on. But this time do not make the same selection. Select, "Reboot phone." Push the power button to select it.

now...

It will install and reboot your phone. It may take a few minutes. Once the droid eye screen comes up it will remain there for a few seconds. Do not freak out. It is fine. This is a good link and it is not buggy.

then...

Your phone will turn on as usual. You will have all of your apps, all of your settings, all of your ringtones set, the same wallpaper set, everything exactly as before. You will notice some changes they made to text messaging, changing the keyboard and many other things. As well as speed.

Any problems?

With me I have run into no problems at all. The clock and weather are working fine and so is every app I've tried. I've deleted Advanced Task Killer, it doesn't have much use these days anyway it doesn't sound like but especially not with 2.2. If you kill apps within a minute later all of them almost will be back and running unlike 2.1 where they would stay gone a little longer.

The signal bar has been changed for a fact. I am getting full signal bars in my apartment where as on 2.1 I never did and the bars are staying full. The service is probably no different but they fixed the way it reads the service with the bars to be more accurate.

Anymore questions then ask. I have never done anything of this sort myself until tonight. It took me a little while. The mistake I made first was unzipping the file on my computer and then dragging it to the card and renaming it. Don't unzip the file. Don't touch the file in anyway on your computer until it is on your card and then you only need to rename it.

It is also important to know if you have extensions hidden or not. If you do not see .zip on the end of the file then they are hidden. So do not name it, "update.zip" Or else it will end up being, "update.zip.zip." Simply name it, "update," if this is the case.

This is so simple...i pulled the trigger and its working flawless so far.:D

Activated my phone at 9:30am on april 29th, and still no OTA. (sigh)

If I dont have it by saturday, I guess I'll just download it.

If you dont have it by Saturday, go into your phone and change the date to 3 weeks from the day. See if the phone will b e fooled into updating that way.

Otherwise, do what you want. I expect everyone will be updated by end of day Friday (or at least all the eligible ones who choose to update)

Yup. I'm a 100% positive. They were on strike or something a few weeks ago because they wanted a pay raise for their 3 season or something.

True, but that has nothing to do with whether it's scripted. The show makes money and as a result, the people on the show get paid. The cast felt MTV was low-balling them, so they refused to film more episodes until they got paid more. That has nothing to do with scripts. It is sad that MTV caved though, because what those clowns make to act like idiots on TV really makes me embarrassed to be an American. It only makes it worse that The Situation is raking in nearly $5 mil this year from sponsors and side projects. Disgusting, but that's our country in 2010 (not disgusting, just that morons make more than the educated and courageous).

The show is not "scripted." Rather, it's very selective editing by MTV. That is how pretty much all reality shows are. Also, the producers will tell the people on the show to do certain things here and there, but for the most part, what you see is what you get. The people on Jersey Shore may be "acting" to keep their spot on the show, however, so they may be different in person. If they weren't overly dramatic and what not, they'd have no appeal to MTV.

And just for the record, I've never seen a single episode. I refuse to help fill the pockets of people who should be flipping burgers at Burger King; not cashing in for acting like trash on TV.

Now, where the hell is my Froyo!

what does the OTA look like? Been looking for it for 2 days, have another long night ahead of me... so what should I be on the look out for?

--starving for Froyo in NYC

From what I've read here it should ask if you want to apply the update. Of course you can always root and go with a custom 2.2 mod/kernel set. :) The more I uses them the happier I am with my Dinc.

I thought the updates were supposed to be going on for up to 3 weeks? Now you all are saying it'll be done Friday?

According to a Verizon memo, the update is expected to reach all Incredibles by Friday.

According to HTC, if you haven't received it within a week, they are suggesting tips to trick your phone into updating.

I have no idea how good this info is, but by the tone around here, I think it is safe to say Friday makes more sense than 2 more weeks.

SIIIIIICKKK!!! After you said that I saw my 3G on so I looked and FINALLY it's downloading! Good call boss.

I've heard you should do a factory reset. I'm definitely going to do one myself. I backed everything up, so I'm ready to go.

Got mine at 1AM last night. Today my battery life sucks and every time I'm done with a call and hit 'end call' the screen freezes, until I hit home and then I get the HTC screen and it says "loading" for about 30 seconds. Then everything is back to normal.

Weird...

Wow that sucks. I just got my notification a few minutes ago and now it is installing right now. I hope I don't get the same issue or I will be pissed.
