Thank you guys for the quick response. I have tried to manually check for the OTA at least a couple dozen times. All I get is "Server Unavailable" message. I have turned off the wifi, reset the phone to factory in the privacy settings. Any ideas?
To add to what landshark suggested, be sure to go into settings > about phone > system updates > check now so your phone will actually search for the OTA update if you're not automatically getting it pushed to your phone.
Thank you guys for the quick replies. I have tried forcing the OTA Update atl east 20 times. All I get is "SERVER UNAVAILABLE". I have cutoff the wifi and factory reset in the privacy settings. Any ideas?
I was rooted but flashed my Fascinate back to DI01 to start working my way up to the official Froyo release. I was able to apply the DL09 update I downloaded to my phone with no issue. Hoever I am having a helluva time finding the EA28 update to download. Does anyone have a good link to download it.
BTW, my phone is one of the Fascinates that have an obvious OTA update issue.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
So you flashed to DI01 or DL09 via odin? If this is the case and you are still not getting the update one suggestion I have is take your phone to a verizon store and have them manually update your phone. Just be sure that you are completely stock before doing so. If that method fails then I'd be led to believe that's a VZW issue.
I flashed DI01 via odin and downloaded the stock DL09 and updated it in the recovery menu. I have been in touch w/VZW and they are leaning towards sending me a refurb. We will see what they come back with
Wow, can you say vzw has totally screwed the pooch on this OTA? First it takes them forever to even roll it out. Then when they've had plenty of time to prep for and test this, they somehow didn't see any of these problems?
Sometimes you go to the circus, sometimes the circus comes to you.
Lol, that is indeed true Landshark! This is definitely a massive issue on their part! So bad indeed that it may cause them to have to replace 10,000+ phones! That's obsurd. Once we get a little more information on the matter we can confirm that this may be the method that the users having OTA issues may have to take. Though it is very unfortunate.
I'll keep an eye out to find an official report on the matter and post a link if I find any accurate information.
What's really absurd about it is if I have one of the affected phones and I bought it brand new, vzw is telling me they are going to send me a refurbished, USED phone because of their screw up. I know the one I have would also be considered used, but it would have only been used by me. No telling what someone else may have previously done to the refurb phone.
VZW is telling me that if the problem is not resolved by Monday the will give me the choice of a refurbished Droid Incredible or another Fascinate. They actually had the stones to include an LG Ally or Blackberry to my choices. LOL
Anyone want to weigh in on the best choice? Fascinate or Incredible?
Since you are running 2.9.2 I don't think you will get a choice to get the official OTA. Have to be stock Eclair for that.
I have the audio out cable not the USB. I'm told on non Verizon phones there's a settings option. Was also told that it would be provided in Froyo but don't think they did.
oh i know with present setup i can not get official froyo 2.2==
but i alsoknow how to go back to my roots one might say,but so far i have not seen a thing with those whom have the official 2.2 froyo thats any better than what i have,,,
i just want to know if Verizon tries to "Push" the update to my phone without my express permission??
so far i am satisfied as i am...
a question to the person who said they rooted right after getting the official 2.2 froyo.
how ? is there an option in AC to do so yet...
ok everyone keepup the good and bad reports,, some of us are hanging in the side lines..
After using SC 2.9.2 for sometime now, I'm really in no rush to upgrade. My phone has been working just fine, except the battery life is pretty iffy here and there. I'm gonna wait it out for the community rom![]()
Nice. Good thinking. All this flashing of everything that comes out will definitely take a toll on battery life. And it can get confusing with all the options out there trying to remember exactly what is in your current setup. It's frustrating getting your phone set up just the way you like it, only to tear it down when something new comes out or whatever. That is why I am getting a second Fascinate to use strictly for problem solving and testing things out for the members here at the forum. That way I can set my phone up just the way I want it, and not mess with it.
