Gingerbread 2.3 was here, then gone, now it's back

[Skipdawg]

OK almost out of Ginger Snaps time for the OTA to show up.

 

[johnt519]

Ok.. I'll try again... I can feel it, tonight will be the night!

Must have been that burrito I felt.... One more day, no update....

Has anyone got it in the last few days? Since like Thursday or Friday? I wonder if they did pull the update to fix their screwup...

 

[JaRN99]

Nothing here.....as usual. I replied on here a while back that my phone has been acting weird & laggy lately...possibly a precursor to getting the update. I'll tell ya what..I have been dropping calls like crazy also....in spots I normally have no problems. I dunno what the heck is going on with it but I hope that it is because of the upcoming update & I hope I get it soon....I think (still not sure I'm going to accept it yet with the problems it's having).

I've got App2Sd pro to clear all my app cache, which I do just about every other day, yet I still get it. I haven't tried sending mail cache to my sd, so I'll do that and see what changes. It's really frustrating, especially after already deleting many apps and constantly clearing cache with no success. This is privacy the ONLY complaint I have about this phone.

On topic of the update, once you skip it once, does it keep constantly nagging you? I.e. if I'm going to end up rooting. It won't automatically update after a while, will it?

I had the update and I kept pushing install later. It would bug me every other time I used the phone. After about 6 hours of "install later" it quit and now it says my phone is up to date. I'm not sure if it will push again.

Nothing here either.

No update here either. Me thinks the Dingos have pulled it for now. Also, ran into a friend who received the update on his Incredible and he was complaining about the Out of App space message. He had been deleting apps. I explained it is application space and started walking him through how to pull up the list of running apps and delete the data. Guess what? Gingerbread changes the appearance of the Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running tab so the "Clear data" button is no longer included on each app's screen. What in the helicopter?!?

 

[johnt519]

I was looking at the Verizon community forums, and some knucklehead posted ".. The Incredible update has been pulled by Verizon! Oh noes!!!"

.. and linked to an article talking about the Droid 2 Global update being pulled.

At first I was like "Oh Noes!!!"
Then I was like "Derr... you need to read ALL the words in front of you..."

Any cool Sprint apps?

Any cool Sprint apps?

Would they even work on our phone? I'm guessing no?

 

[Mr. Boom]

Would they even work on our phone? I'm guessing no?

I would say probably, but maybe not fully. They are designed for Android, not Verizon or Sprint.

EDIT: I downloaded Groupon thru the SPrint app link, and it works fine

 

[ONJFan]

It's monday, still nothing. I think they pulled it to fix it.

When was the last day someone got it?

 

[batwings1]

No update for me yet either. Not sure if I'm happy or sad given some of the trouble reported.

 

[Colchicine]

Friday, IIRC.
Despite the update being delivered over the Labor Day holiday weekend, no one reported getting the update over this past weekend.

If you did get the OTA today, please report!

 

[replica9000]

My phone asked me to update a week ago. Asked me to Install Now or Install Later. I picked Install Later, rebooted the phone to back up the SD Card and now my update is gone. I've even gone into Settings >> About Phone >> System Updates to check for the update and it keeps telling me my phone is up to date, still running 2.2. I've even done *#*#checkin#*#* on the dial pad and it says "Checkin Succeeded", but still no update.

Maybe eventually it will get pushed to my phone again?

 

[holdshort]

Still no update for this Incredible owner. Why hast big red forsaken me?!

What trouble have you been seeing?

 

[Skipdawg]

Well if it was pulled to be fixed I guess that is OK. Don't want my phone thinking it's something it's not. It already has a mind of it's own at times. LOL

 

[harpua19]

been lurking this thread for a bit, still without an update

A while ago I had rooted and ran into problems with a ROM, and so when the update was announced I went back to stock. I understand that having a non-stock recovery will block the update, but if you flash a stock recovery and keep s-off you can return root after the update. My question is - since I'm stock right now and am anticipating the update, could I just obtain s-off with unrevoked forever? It seems silly to go through the trouble of running unrevoked3, then flashing back a stock recovery when the update will overwrite everything except s-off anyhow. There could be something I'm missing, hence my asking.

If you want root, just root and flash the rooted form of the update.

When you unrooted did you flash the s-on file separately? If not, you may still be s-off. But to answer your question, no you cant just run unrevoked forever because you need a custom recovery to load it which means you need root.

 

[WhizGidget]

Still no update here. My "system is currently up to date"

Darn, I should have made ginger bread cookies over the weekend. Then at least I'd have some ginger bready goodness. I guess I'll have to settle for some ginger peach tea instead.

Childish rant deleted by poster.

Hey! I liked your rant!

 

[johnt519]

Just saw this on the Verizon support forum:

Thanks everyone for your input. I have seen this issue reported several times and have notified our product team. Once we have a resolution, a software update will be pushed to devices.

So the update for the update is coming and I'm still without an update. Fantastic.
