Firmware Upgrade 2.3.4 Now Available

[johnnyshinta]

the update is working fine. no issues.
i haven't received the market update. but it doesn't really matter to me, as long as i can download apps i don't care what the market looks like

to anyone that does care, if your market doesnt change go to settings > applications > manage applications > go the "all" tab > find the market > clear data > reboot your phone

this should get you the new market

Just got the new market. About a day after updating

so no other way around "download failed" than the factory reset??

 

[Saiyajin]

Are you using a custom ROM? The ROM you are running could be blocking the OTA. Besides, if you are rooted why worry about the OTA? Just wait for someone to release a new ROM.

Agree. They're often faster with the updates contained in the OTA, already cleaned up.

Unfortunately that seems to be the solution. I tried to avoid a reset myself, but I just went ahead and did it and no longer got the download error. I updated mainly for the new radio. Call quality does seem better since updating btw.

OK, you don't need to do the reset to get around the "download failed" (at least I didn't..)

I deleted a couple apps, (amazon store, astro, and seekdroid)

I also went into running processes, cleared cache and stopped anything that looked like an update process, did not re-boot, and tried again, download started, succeeded, and installed! yay

not sure what step did it, but it's done, hope this helps someone!!

It seems like ever since I got 2.3.4 google talk doesnt work anymore. I go to open the app and it just closes right away. Anyone else have this problem and/or have a solution?

Sadly this did not work for me. NOT doing a factory reset for this update.

Thanks for the info,

[johnnyshinta]

have you tried simply rebooting the phone or powering off and doing a battery pull?

Thanks for the thoughts, but yes have tried everything short of a factory reset and that is not going to happen. It is not worth it.

Thanks for you help,

Haven't tried a battery pull but a powering off didn't do help.

Frankly, if I have to do a factory resent to install an update with limited new features, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of restoring everything.

I'm going to agree with you. I'm not seeing anything special with this update. This update is definitely not worth a Factory Reset.

My market changed to the new one yesterday. Not sure if I like it. It's a little cluttered.

tried all the suggestions, still receiving the download failed error, not going to do a factory reset and risk losing everything on the phone, not worth it to me for this download, but im open to any other suggestions, would like to have phone up to date with most recent software, im ready to break down and goto a verizon store to see if they can figure it out but that would be a last option.

 

[johnnyshinta]

well i can tell you that if you bring it to a verizon store they will most likely tell you to do a reset. they generally don't do in depth troubleshooting until you try all the easy fixes first.

Really? Anybody else have video in talk?

Video in Talk only works with 2.3.5 I think. I'm running the OMFGB nightlies which are based on 2.3.5 and video works just fine. It's not part of the GAPPS they link to, but I found it somewhere. I'd tell ya if I remembered. I guess I could upload it if someone needs it. Might have been on Droid-Life.

 

[kirksucks]

2.3.5? Yeah not on the DInc 2

Have you been to a Verizon store lately? I went the other day with this problem. I was told that Verizon no longer has in store tech support. There was no one behind the support counter. I was given a paper with the direct line to tech support and was then advised to reset my phone

No more techs in store.

Oh that's why I'm paying more for less data... Everyone um, wait what? They doubled the square footage of my vz store here and I lose local tech support? Awesome
