Rumor of Droid Incredible receiving update today

[tony bag o donuts]

I will eat crow. My phone has been rebooting when powering down instead of turning off......So I was on the phone with big red for a while this morning. They checked to see if I had received the update.

I hadn't so a replacement device is on the way for my issues.

The Tech Rep said HTC is sending out the update in batches and it's random, not in the order you purchased your device.

I am not one for rumors but they thought my issues were related to the update.

I'll unroot when it is actually being pushed. I've checked about 5 different android forums. Everyones talking about it, no one actually has it.

That's what mine does.

The blog post on the homepage must be incorrect. I also have not been able to force the update by doing this...

The MENU>settings>about phone>system updates is where it will be though when officially pushed out. I have a friend who got their DX yesterday so saw on their forum they are getting an update from vzw on the 19th .
It showed them thats how to get that update and that was how it said too.

Sometimes you can get it there before you get a pop-up notification on your phone. If Verizon hasn't "approved" your phone to get it yet or however they are doing it, you won't see it even by checking manually. I put that in the post so that people might be able to get it a bit earlier.

I with you guys though, I am still waiting. I am going to be really pissed at Verizon if this update gets pushed back AGAIN.

The blog clearly says that you might, read MIGHT, speed up the OTA by doing the System>About Phone>System Updates boogie. The blog is not wrong. It is perfectly normal for the resulting screen to say "Your system is currently up to date" because until you actually receive the OTA your phone is, well, up to date.

This will happen when it happens. My guess is all of these impatient people who are "dieing" for the update are ex BB folks who became used to the "leaked update" culture because in most cases it they made a questionable phone better. I know because I was one of those Crackberry leak seekers. Now I don't care much. The DINC is so good and meets my needs so well that while an upgrade with more features will be nice it will not be cause for a national holiday.

When the update is authorized for your phone, a notification will be sent out, however, sometimes there's a delay in receiving that automatic notification... Choosing SYSTEM UPDATE makes the phone check to see if an update is available... All that does is look for updates you haven't been automatically notified about yet...

Idk about you guys but I keep checking my phone every 15 mins for the update hahah I'm getting so anxious for 720p video and wireless n

 

[increditim]

actually because this update has received so much hype i think there should be at least a half holiday for everyone once we get it!

I second the motion!

Packing bag... Going home... Hitting refresh on update screen until thumb hurts.

Happy Update Day everyone! Party at my place. We can play a game similar to quarters. Everyone hits refresh on the update screen every ten minutes. If you don't get the update, take a shot of tequila. After an hour, we'll forget all about it.

You can already do the wireless tethering by downloading pdanet i believe. The update just gives you the option to pay for it lol.

it says in the market that it has tethering via usb and bluetooth. there is also another one called "easy tether" which may be wireless as well.

There is another thread in this forum that talks about data usage that is worth reading... Apparently unlimited data plans do not apply to tethering data and may cost you either way. However it is unclear to me.
