Why is anyone waiting? Do the RUU, it's signed and legit as shit. I have the feeling a lot of you people who wait for the OTA are going to factory reset anyway...
Can anyone confirm that the previous version's WiFi tether trick still works?
got it this am in charlotte ,nc.....updating now
Just got mine an hour ago so far so good accept for that stupid freakin vcast app store the lame ass thing won't even open just gives me an error message, not that I would ever download anything from it. I just think verizon's silly for thinking they could ever compete with the android market. Battery issues do appear to have been fixed. I had it plugged in and was using it heavily while battery % was rising at a NORMAL rate
Update was waiting for me this morning.
Not having the off center issue at all. Have you tried recalibrating Gsensor to fix landscape portrait rotation issue?After having the update for a couple days now, I have a few comments.
1. My battery is charging faster, as many of you have noticed. I have not noticed a change in battery life, for good or for bad.
2. I'm having trouble with the orientation switching from landscape to portrait correctly. I had this with the 2.2 update and had to do a factory reset to resolve the issue.
3. My screen is very slightly, almost not noticeably off center. When gmail is open though or anything with lines, I can see the right side is slightly higher than the left (lines tilt downwards toward the left side). Anyone else notice this one?
.....and nothing about fixing text lag that 2.2 brought on? no thanks. pointless update for me.
I can't speak for anyone else, but when carriers start installing apps on my phone that I neither need nor want, I have a problem with it. Sure, the V CAST store is nice, but it's never going to replace the Android Market for me. Slacker? Do not use it or want it, and it runs in the background at all times (same with other forced software like Skype). I'm glad that Verizon is continuing to support the phone via OTA updates, but at least let us get rid of what we don't want.I really do not see the explosive issue here. I received the update last Thursday, installed without issue and I have not seen any degradation to the Incredible's performance. As far as Verizon bloatware...I just don't open Slacker or V Cast Apps (but I do appreciate the flexibility to purchase apps via V Cast Apps & have it show up on my phone bill if I want). Just seems like there are more important issues in the world to get all uptight about then this...just my opinion that Verizon did a good job with this OTA update.
