i didn't receive an update option, do I need to unroot my phone first or what?

reason for this/these updates... (shld of came with these updates bc of the week late launch) lol.

verizon is releasing their take on the optimus s/t series..with LG Vortex

which has swype etc.

however i find the Optimus S a nicer looking phone than the Vortex. very similar, style has skinner and more close together 4 function buttons.

also my downloads aren't working from the market either, I just tried to download 3 things and its a no go.

ddark1: The OTA updates are pushed from the carrier (sprint). Your number will come up at some point. It has nothing to do with rooting your phone....EXCEPT after you root, you will want to wait for a "rooted" update from the developer of the method you used.

I have experienced market "burps" on occasion on my evo and my daughters optimus.

ok, thanks, I'm new to Android and rooting, I just used Z4Root, so is it okay to leave the phone rooted or hit unroot on Z4 program?

You can leave it rooted while doing the update.

They probably did something crazy like make the phone support device administrators

Just check above. I posted the official update details.

For those that applied the OTA update, is the free wireless tethering exploit still working?

Yeah thats the "official" change log. Now back to translating .... They enforced device administrators on the phone. Prior to this the phone had eas policy bypass by default.

also for those who liked this feature there are apks floating around if.you look

EDIT - just noticed this in that change log sprint is pushing for the galaxy tab
- Microsoft Exchange IT Admin policy compliance

Lol looks like more than just our device slipped out with EAS bypass

Just installed the Hotspot Widget. Works fine after the update.

Should I uninstall my official Swype Beta before accepting this update?

You might as well. It certainly won't hurt to have it uninstalled, although I highly doubt it matters one way or another.

[Fjv_optimus]

[ltrz]

got the v9 update. and rooted the long way using CMD works just fine. so from another user saying z4root works, so does the long handed way as well..

..agree.. am enjoying swype lol.

 

[dishe]

So... looks like no reason NOT to update then, right?
Everything still works?
