AT&T actually sent you an update that enabled the Unknown Sources option, it was nothing that you did or downloaded. This was publicized last week.

Saw the announcement and been checking my applications setting but still no 'Allow from unknown source' check box. Announcement implied it would be by type of phone so just figured didn't send out aria ota yet. Any advice? Thanks!

many still waiting for it to push.

some have got online with att tech support chat to push it manually with success if youre impatient

My dad has the Aria ... he is really looking forward to this update, I hope you guys get it soon.

I'm glad they finally gave in on this point.

So called and they pushed it to my phone. Appreciate the advice.

If you have received the Aria update that allows Unknown Sources, can you post the version it shows? Not sure if the Kernel changes, but it may be needed to. I can not run the AT&T Software Update. Tech support told me to reload the Froyo 2.2 update for it to work. I can not tell from the HTC site if it is a newer version then I had already updated to.

Your version may be helpful.

I updated and still no "unknown sources"

You now need to wait to receive the silent OTA update that will enable "Unknown Sources". Simply installing the upgrade does not do it, it simply puts your phone in a state that can receive the OTA that enables the option.

Some have reported that powering the phone off and then on after installing the upgrade will trigger the OTA.

How long is the wait?
