I just got the new update about 30 mins ago on my Charge. Haven't noticed many changes yet except that it has an ICS-like lock screen now. I don't even see an option anymore to change to the puzzle piece or "glass" lock screen either. Otherwise, I haven't noticed many changes yet. And they STILL haven't changed the color scheme that they said they would change with the GB update. The brown and orange is hard to look at.

Can you post a screenshot?

Can you post a screenshot?

That would definitely be a nice thing to do. I've checked on my charge and no update yet.

[piizzadude]

the other thing is that this update is supposed to solve is the problems with the radios....

Great stuff on this thread if you want to take advantage of the new update.

I just got the update a few minutes ago. Other than the different-look lock screen, the only major difference I have found is the background image. Previously it was 7 screens wide and would move a little as I swiped from left to right and vice-versa. Now it seems to be static. Does anyone know how to get that functionality back?

Downloading now. Will be testing GPS shortly, I've always been a 5-7 minute lock guy

Has there been any affect on tethering?

[atlantar6]

I don't tether. I did go outside, turn on gps, and it locked into a signal within 30 seconds!!!

PS - Here is the new lock screen. I cannot change it to anything else either. Too bad, I liked the puzzle pieces better.

[Burchamj]

i assume rooted and debloated, i should keep pushing install later?

My wife's phone had the update pushed to her phone as well. Strange there was no big rumors of this update and not even FP announcement of the release so it must have been really secret. I haven't seen much of a chance either other than the lock screen. I think it's better now but I know some like the puzzle piece. Interested in the change log and if the GPS locking has been addressed even slightly.

I'm waiting to know this answer as well.

Hmmph still waiting

Would like to know about tethering with third party apps. Changelog seemed to have a lot of items about tethering. Don't tether often but nice to have it as an option when i'm stuck. Thanks!

If you would like to be done waiting you can manually update to FP1 by following this procedure:

1. Download this file:
2. Rename the file to update.zip
3. Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card
4. Shutdown phone
5. Hold down the volume up, home, and power button
6. Once in android stock recovery arrow and and select "apply sdcard update.zip" with the home button
7. Select update.zip with the home button
8. The update will run and phone will reboot on its own then you will be on FP1

After a couple days of use I have noticed that the bootup time is very fast now .. its as fast, if not faster than my Galaxy Nexus. The background is static for the stock launcher, but I am still using GoLauncher so lets you still have a moving background - it just crops it a little more than before. Only other thing Ive noticed, other than the new lockscreen, is now it show the up/down activity on the wifi icon in the status bar.

Also to answer phone must drag not tap a green circle.

Still no update for me. I must be last on the list. My son and I bought Charges the same day back in May and he got his update yesterday. Oh well, I'm sure it is not as big of a deal as when we got GB.
