Froyo RUU News, Reviews, Findings, Q&A.

I just got word that the update has been approved by Verizon, folks. Looking pretty good for tomorrow.
 
You don't have to turn the phone off to "bump charge." That term is really regrettable. All you are doing is topping off the charge because the firmware starts running off the battery the second the charge is completed (so if you charge overnight, you have "lost charge" -- that is, run off the battery for a period of hours -- by morning). It makes no difference whether the phone is on or off when you top it off (I've timed it -- is +/- a couple of minutes depending on the day -- no appreciable difference if the phone is on or off).

I know this is off topic, but what is "bump charging" and why would you do it? Thanks.
 
I called Verizon support and the guy told me he sees nothing in the system about an update for the Incredible.

I told him that I was literally looking at a pdf on Verizon's website in which they discuss the update. He still insisted that he couldn't find anything.


Jesus.
 
It looks like all the numbers match comparing Verizons ad, and the screen shots of the guys who did this this morning. Is there any reason to not use the leak, and wait for the Verizon official OTA?
 
So if you want it now before the OTA, you have to root your phone?

Forgive me for being so dumb when it comes to this type of stuff.
 
That is it and I'm already on it, I had froyo installed but nandroid'd it back to 2.1 then tried this one...worked like a charm.
One thing though, put htc sync BACK on your system if you have removed it or it will not work ;)

Runs like a charm...though I now no longer have root :P

How long did it take to download to computer and the to the phone. I'm going on almost an hour to download to computer.
 
Just download it and run it from your pc...make sure you have htc sync installed..that's it ;) It will tell you when to plug in your phone.
 
Howz the BATTERY????? If anyone has had it running for a while, PLEASE let me know, it is my big concern about this phone.
 
It will change the boot animation but you can always change it back.

As for battery life I can only speak of the rooted version which I'm assuming will be very close its a little better.

i don't see much difference in the battery yet, i have installed this morning at 10.30 and i was using pretty heavy, battery is almost dead now, same as before.
 
Not working for me

When you plug your phone into the computer what setting do you put your phone into:
charge only
htc sync
disk drive
mobile

The program keeps telling me it can read the phone and to check the connection.
