Really looking forward to this update!

Mainly for the first 2 bulletins in this list, because I too am experiencing the problem with the battery reporting wrong percentages. And anything that yields "smoother transition('s)" is a plus in my book

Of course everything else on the list is great, because it means they are paying attention and working on better support. Just means a better phone for everyone!

Looking forward to this, but really just want FroYo already! lol

No wonder my battery was drained today. It's been constantly sucking at 3G all day. Battery died in like 5-6 hours.

**admiral70** · 07-19-2010, 04:10 PM

Hoping it won't be to many days before OTA shows up.

**rion_j** · 07-19-2010, 04:12 PM

nice, glad to see it's official....has anyone recieved an email from verizon yet?

**maverick96** · 07-19-2010, 04:26 PM

I have been checking all day, with no luck...

**matthewdlyons** · 07-19-2010, 04:35 PM

Though I checked periodically, I am really not expecting to see it today. I'm having enough fun tinkering around with the X that the update will just be icing. Of course, the real update I'm waiting for is Froyo.

I didn't see anything about an email, but maybe I just missed it. Looks to me that you will be notified by the display screen on the DX showing that the update is available, with the options to Install Now, or Install Later.

From Droid-Life.Com:

DROID X OTA update should start at 10:59PM CST tonight.

**zachflauaus** · 07-19-2010, 08:58 PM

It's really sad that at 11:00 tonight I'll be clicking Check for Updates constantly... I have no life.

I was wondering, is there even any need to do this? Isn't it going to be pushed to devices as soon as it's available and we'll get a popup message?

**largeselection** · 07-19-2010, 09:00 PM

Well guess I'll look out for this in the AM if that is the time it starts.

**ceriem** · 07-19-2010, 09:45 PM

So I guess I'll be hitting check for updates right around midnight EST and if nothing then I'll try again tomorrow... oh fun lol

**zachflauaus** · 07-19-2010, 09:47 PM

I think it is going to be pushed but... That still won't stop me from repeatedly checking. ;-)

Ditto.

**Cory Streater** · 07-19-2010, 09:49 PM

I'm told (by a reliable source) that it was pushed out to 10,000 handsets today, and assuming no problems occur tomorrow, the push will resume on Wednesday.

**rjdangerous** · 07-19-2010, 09:54 PM

out of those 10,000 none of them belong to this or any other forum? Someone would be on here reporting if they got it. No?

**Cory Streater** · 07-19-2010, 10:12 PM

I agree with you, but I also know who I heard this from and I'd be surprised if that person was giving me bad info. I guess we'll find out in the next 2 days.
