I feel like itll be like the xbox live updates. When they say there released on say may 22 its not until like 9 am eastern time. Wheres Verizon's corporate headquarters cause its usually by their time if its not eastern.

Does someone have to hit the magical ota button or is it automated?

I like to think it's a really big lever with a padlock and red tag on it, like at a power station.

Seriously, I doubt it's automated. Probably on someone's to do list for the morning.

If it does happen tomorrow, most likely will happen during regular business hours. Someone has to enter the special code from Lost.

I like to think that the process goes something like this. They have a huge party the night before and get hammered drunk. They come in the next day all hung over and forget to throw the switch. We all complain about it and then about a month later they remember what he party was for.

over at rootziki forum a person said they were talking to a vzw rep and was put on hold to talk to a samsung rep, and was told by the samsung rep that the update would be on may 22nd. as of 3:15 am, no update to my phone yet.
VZW sucks, they don't care about updates because they can't make money off them. They probably have 1 person who works on all the phone updates at vzw, and he probably spends everyday playing on his iphone.

I don't want to troll or anything, but about a month ago I took the 30 minutes or so to unlock and root. Been getting my updates daily now. It's not overly difficult and every problem I've come across has been solved by perusing these forums. Just something to consider .

I believe the point is some people don't want to root. Some people are not comfortable with rooting.

No update at 7:30am. Call me surprised? No.

 

[Salacon]

Well, as a few others have said: This would be fantastic if true, but I'm certainly not going to hold my breath. The update will come when it comes.

 

[7stringer]

815 AM EST and no update.

 

[Iceman0803]

I don't want to be that guy, but I am confused about something. I am unlocked but not rooted. Will I still receive the OTA update?

Yes

 

[scubamike]

Just to provide a little glimmer of hope, this link says the update won't kick off until 11:00 am est.

Android 4.0.4 for Verizon

Take it with a grain of salt.

This update is starting to remind of the insane amount of time I waited for FroYo on my Fascinate. All the rumors and hype of when the update was coming lasted for about 8 months. Specific dates thrown out, never honored. Rumors from VZW employees, Twitter rumors, etc. I figure, it will happen, when it happens. I know it will fix the issues I am having. Unfortunately, patience is not my virtue.

Im rooted and ROMed but I will be following this thread just to see if the rumor boat is going to sail away again.

I had a Fascinate too and remember that. It was constant, non-stop rumors and System Update checking every minute.

There are so many posts that start out with "The Verizon rep said...". No one has learned yet that a Verizon/Samsung rep, or your buddies friend that works at Best Buy, have no idea or information when phones get updated.

But I need to go check for updates just in case

I was literally thinking about the same thing... I try not to get to hyped about updates just cause my fascinate was the king of rumored updates

Alot of users are not comfortable with unlocking and rooting just as someone already stated. I have read over and over all the threads on rooting and as I read more, the more I get confused. Maybe it's just me, but I like to have some idea on what I am doing before moving forward. There is a way to get the OTA without rooting or unlocking.
