who hasnt gotten the OTA update?

[linda7585]

I'm tempted to try installing manually, but I've read somewhere that OTW updates will wipe out data on the phone where OTA will not. I wasn't sure if that was true or not but I didn't want to take the chance yet since I'm not very tech savvy.

WICHITA ,KS and NO update yet.

I'm in Central Cali and got the update late last night around 11PM.. Strange thing is both my sister and mom have the same phone, and neither of them had the update! I've tried updating one phone with the "Update Android" option in Settings but it said the system was already up to date even if it was 2.1 so I'm not sure if it's updating based on location, we live in the same house! :/

I updated manually Tuesday, but my wife has yet to get the update in IL.

Glad I did not wait.

How do I find the model CODE for my phone? I went to Samsung's website because I'm tired of waiting for the OTA update...I can answer every question from the drop downs except model CODE. I have no clue where this would be. Model # is SPH-D700 so no problems there...just need the code. :/

Guys, no need to wait for the OTA when you can just download the installer from Samsung. All you have to do is run the installer and plug your phone in to your computer. Just backup everything beforehand. I did it yesterday and it took ~10 mins.

Samsung

Went there this morning and under model code there are 4 options. ZKXSPR, ZKASPR (listed twice for some reason) and ZKOSPR.

So my question was how do I know which is the correct one for my phone? All of those are listed as options for the Epic 4G model SPH-D700.

All I can tell you is I followed the link, selected "Software" and downloaded and installed using the Mac update.zip

Worked great.

Someone else maybe able to clarify the model question

no update here in PA

It seems like I'm the only one who hasn't gotten the update. Wtf? Lol... I really don't want to update manually but I might too. I'm in Denver by the way.
This sucks!

My wife hadn't gotten the update (Wisconsin) by last night so she had me update it manually. I saved her contacts into gmail and everything went fine.

i was hoping when i woke this morning, but still nothing. currently going on 10AM mid-atlantic state. i got it on launch day, so not sure how google is determining the roll out plan. still, waited this long what's another 2 more days, and there is always the OTW method.

I'm on PC so I suppose I will have to hope someone will help me out on that one. Thanks!

I'm in Wisconsin as well and still no OTA update for me either....

Des Moines here, no update yet. Waiting patiently. I suppose like others have said we could all just download the zip and update - that's official right? I've always stayed away from rooting or anything fancy just because I lack the patience to deal with issues that come up.

 

[droid newb]

My concern with the manual update is that I've read several times that it wipes the device. Is that true? Do_not_want_.

West Texas. Phone is also on wi-fi most of the day and turned off at night.

Options for manually updating:

1. Update.zip: Don't need to worry about phone code or whatever...you're already on the right page as long as you follow that link above, just select the "Software" link as by defalut, you're on the "Manuals" page. Yes, it states it's for a Mac, but Mac's don't allow .exe files so they had to zip it up. Download the update.zip file, save it to your SD card on your Samsung Epic phone (I don't think I should have to get this detailed, but with some of the responses on other threads...) Don't put it in a folder, right on the drive itself. No folder. None. I did this last night and it took a total of probably 15-20 minutes after backing up everything. This method DOES NOT wipe the phone. Repeat, does not. I backed things up as a precaution.

2. Samsung .exe installer: With the first version not wiping your phone, why would you even choose this option? If you want to wipe your phone (I'm still pondering it) then choose this method and you'll have nothing left over from before.

And if you're not willing to do this yourself...please, for the love of everything holy, stop whining about not getting the OTA update.

@hayzoos Dude, it's a forum. Some people aren't comfortable doing something and there's no reason why they can't express here that they haven't gotten the OTA update yet. I'm sure if it wasn't allowable then the mods would lock or delete.

Internet for the win

I really didn't see a ton of people whining. The topic was "who hasn't gotten the OTA update?". Most of us have just answered where we are at, thus answering the topic at hand. How is answering a thread honestly "whining"?

And for the record, most users simply don't feel comfortable doing these kinds of things by themselves. We can't all be super-users. Ironically though, I definitely am a super-user and still lack the motivation to want to do this myself... nor am I "whining" about the OTA not hitting my city yet. I mean hell, I got this phone like the week it came out and have wanted 2.2 - I think I can wait a couple more days for an update

Went to get update.zip and I think it is gone. Found this on Sprint website:

UPDATE:
There have been an increased number of calls into Care regarding issues with the Epic following the upgrade. As a result, the upgrade will not be pushed to more devices until a resolution for these issues is in place. The OTW update on the Samsung website will also be taken down.
Sprint and Samsung are actively working to correct these problems and release the update to all devices. I will provide updates as I receive them.

Really? I just grabbed it from the site now...but can't do anything with it until I get home from work.

Can you give me the link you used? When I go there there are only 2 pdf's available.

 

[hayzooos]

Another thread on here states they've pulled it again...

I personally haven't had any issues with it, but I guess enough people have where they're pulling it back. No more OTA updates, and no more download from Samsung's website either.

Samsung then click on "software". It's all still there.
