Minor 32mb update rolling out for dinc2 to increase build to 4.08.605.3.

the DROID Incredible 2 has another minor update available for it as of, well, right now. The update is 32MB and improves email synchronization along with a couple of other data-related bugs. After you've received first notification of the system update you can manually initiate by going to "Home" > "Menu" > "Settings" > "Software Update" > "Check New". Press "Restart & install". Your device will power off and back on and the installation process will begin.

Maybe I will get this one!
Anyone got it yet?

Man, my phone had better show this update, or I will be really upset, because it never even showed the gingerbread update, now I am 3updates behind, and 2.3.4 is the latest Android version.

Grrrrr....:(
I even tried forcing the update using the dialer with the checkin method...and noting.

From your Android phone’s dialer simply enter *#*#checkin#*#*, substituting the letters for numbers, which would be *#*#2432546#*#*. This will put you in the queue, and you should see a notification saying, “Checkin succeeded”. Go into Settings>About Phone>System Update. If there’s an update waiting for you, it’ll pop up then, but don’t expect it to work every time. This won’t work if you’re using a custom ROM, so this is only for users who have not rooted their devices and are running on the stock ROM.

I got the triangle with the exclamation point in it in the notification bar then (checkin succeeded message) checked for a system update and nothing!!!

I don't think that is something a software update can fix. It will have to be a hardware fix, a new & improved battery door (with better antennas) seems to be the only answer to that problem.


I agree about the hardware issue, but I've noticed since the update the signal bars are showing more than they did. Before the update a -95dbm signal would have no bars. Now it's showing one to two bars. The dbm didn't increase, but the bars did. Anyone else notice this?

I thought that this update would have triggered me to be able to be able to get the first 119mb gingerbread update, then the smaller 4mb one, then this one.
I know I can't just get this one alone because they build on top of each other, I have to go in the proper order.
I tried some more this morning, used the checkin method too...& still nothing...

I have contacted Verizon about this and they just keep telling me to wait and I will get them... Really I just want the ability to use the front facing camera for video calls, like Skype...
Oh, well...rooting is not something I want to or can do...

there was a new radio with this update. i flashed the new radio and so far, at work i seem to be getting better reception. now in the 85-90 dbm range where i used to sit at 95-100. so at least for me, this release is defintiely fixing some of those reception issues. the real test though, will be at home where i usually sit, at best, at -100 dbm.
