Official I got the OTA DL09 update discussion. See Post #2 for problems/solutions!

I think I am in the vast minority here and I'm really pissed because of it, but my GPS did not fix. I cannot get a lock and when I do it is putting me in really odd places (off the coast of Nova Scotia when i am in eastern Massachusetts). I launched GPS test and that doesn't show anything (1 sat in view). Also the lights at the bottom do not stay lit. The only change I see is the YouTube widget and HQ button.

Not sure why I'm not getting all the benefits. I have a white Fascinate btw.

just updated mine seem to work fine

 

[NickA]

well some people are reporting no issues inside their house....just wondering where the line is drawn.

No issues in my house. I've never had it lock inside before this update. Now locks anywhere in my house in seconds.

Go to the About screen and make sure you actually got the update.

I did actually get the update. DL09 is showing up. The YouTube thing updated fine and the diamond symbol is at the top. GPS services are not working. Also just noticed that the nrowser is not getting my location either at google.com.

The update was supposed to allow you to open. PDF files but I still can't. Anyone know about the PDF issue?

I'm still on DI01 and have no issues opening .pdf files... It does attempt to open ThinkFree Office first, but after you choose not to accept the term of that app, it opens the .pdf fine.

 

[jaekim717]

ahhh, ok, thanks! i'll have to wait till i get home to do this, but at least that explains why i am getting this error.

Yes, have to put the bloat back.

I think the PDF attachment change is that you can preview a PDF attachment without having to download it first? Haven't tried it myself perhaps I will.

For the USB mounting changes - just go into your Settings - USB Settings and change the setting to Ask back out then go back in and choose Mount and it should go back to how it was.

My lights stay lit. Which is awesome!
And I just opened up Google Maps (inside my house) to test GPS. It locked onto me almost instantly. I'm currently happy camper. Froyo would be awesome, but at this point it's not absolutely necessary that I get it right away

 

[saabguy2005]

What are your location settings? Do you only have standalone gps services on?

Thanks!

Downloading now

8:47 AM in California
I tried the update manually.
downloading in progress

 

[Brettdacosta]

Ok - waited as long as I could before asking again...

So am I stuck with the Google location icon regardless? The only thing that goes away when I disable it are the waves beside the diamond. Please - I hate a cluttered notification bar.

 

[adani721]

GPS service locks instantly to my location.

[DAFFYDC]

OK I sent myself a test email with a. PDF attached and appears to be working now. Using yahoo mail and Gmail. Now I want froyo like the rest of you.

 

[ruggervt]

That 'new' diamond with squigglies icon is e911 location service, I think. My last phone (an enV2) used the same icon...

So we're probably going to have to live with it unless you root...

 

[Inferno217]

I can't get this GPS or the backlights to work properly as described by many others here (see post #141). Someone suggested that maybe I didn't actually update properly. I think this is what it should say:
View attachment 5596

Also, this is what I have checked off for location services:
View attachment 5597

And here is the update verification:
View attachment 5598



Guys, I'm not sure where I should go from this point. The GPS does not want to lock, as I get that ring of blue around the locator icon in Google Maps. Bing Maps does something similar. I am indoors, but right next to a window. I opened the window and stuck the phone out - no help.

 

[djmackee]

i downloaded the update, clicked ok and it just keeps rebooting the phone to the same screen where i click ok. its not installing the update. i am rooted. what do i do?

 

[bgredjeep]

Only issue I have seen after the update is that my Youtube widget shows a connection error.

I haven't played with the gps or anything else yet.
