OTA update available now

No updates here, San Diego, CA.

Are you signed up for the Beta testing...that could be the OTA for the Beta?

They just released the Beta on 3/25 and now they're pushing the final on 3/29. Some QA! lol
Someone in the xda forums stated they got a 'update recalled' while trying to download the update.. so not sure if it got pulled already.. :D

Either way, not losing my root for this update..

It seems the update was pulled. I had been checking my phone periodically this morning and when it was available I updated. I hope there aren't problems with it. So far so good. I didn't sign up for the beta testing, so this thing went live for a little while.


Me too! DL it this morning and I did not sign up for beta testing! Seems ok so far!

Two things i've noticed immediately are apps that used to hang up when pushing the back button don't any more (ex: my local news app and phandroid app) and more information in the battery ussage menu...now it shows individual apps and we should be able to identify battery hogs a lot easier!

Lucky... I want an update... [ Bell user with TERRIBLE battery life and tried every trick to locate rogue apps to no avail. :( ] Still getting 5 hours with MINIMUM usage.

I swear i've tried every trick. Even with dimming my screen the % is always 30 - 40 no matter what brightness setting I have. (I assumed it would drop SIGNIFICANTLY from 0 - 100% brightness but I guess not. I want to disable Motoblur as it takes up a lot to run.)

will i have to re-root my phone after this update?

Yes, you will have to root again, but they are still working on getting root for the OTA. The way that you rooted doesn't work with this OTA, they fixed the vulnerabilities that the initial root used to exploit.

I believe someone has root now, and they are working on a script for the masses...so I am waiting until the script is out and working before I do the OTA.

I needs my roots.

Wow you're worst than me *hugs*. I suggest you do a factory reset and slowly add back the apps you want one at a time to see how each affect your battery life.

I got the update too, noticed when charging it still stays on and also I had google.com as my home page in my browser and it now loads in spanish, even if i type in the address bar google.com, it still loads in spanish. And it is the only site that does it all others load in english. Anyone having that issue too.

No problems here in Central Florida. Downloaded and installed in just a few minutes over wifi.

Screen turns off a minute after connecting to power (screen is set to turn off after a minute). Google is in English.

Anyone have a list of changes in this revision???

Sometimes, the front page has interesting news items. I suggest adding a link in your favorites bar.

The google.com issue is not because of the update, I did some searches once I got home from work and it's something to do with google thinking my phone is in a spanish speaking area for some reason, I just hit the english link and saved that and good to go.

I did test the screen again and it does turn off!! :)
