Sprint Update for Moment

[Sammael]

Just picked up my moment, switching from a pre, and I have to say so far I'm loving it. I wanted to ask though, in case anyone has any info I'm missing, has Sprint made mention yet about an expected date for release of an ota update? I've already searched the forums and haven't noticed anything, but being freshly back to Android I may have missed something. Thanks in advance.

I don't think they're going to have OTA updates, for a good while, as I believe, they don't want the phone to like brick or something like that, so I think the next ROM update will either be at a Repair Service Store or through a website somewhere (?)

 

[Sammael]

I will admit, I considered that possibility, but they do say on the offical page that they would be announcing when the OTA update would be available. Now I'll readily admit that doesn't mean much at all, but I take it to mean they are at least looking at the possibility. I guess time will tell for now, if my nearest service center wasn't bordering on inept and over a half hour away I wouldn't hesitate to go, but for now I guess I'll play the waiting game.

Finally got the update done this morning. keyboard more responsive for sure. Hope other fixes are good too. I do notice that there is now an android update now under updates...so maybe the 2.1 update will be over air...here's hoping....

 

[Sammael]

Sounds great, gotta admit, the more I keep hearing the more tempted I am to jump through my ass and get the update done.

Once I get the update will I have to download all my apps again and sync my contacts?

i got the update done yesterday and i didnt have to reload any apps or any contacts. The rep there thought i was goin to have to but didnt. The battery life seems MUCH better so far but ill have to test it a little longer.

Thanks!! I think I might write down all the apps I have just in case. I'm usually that 1% of people that have things go wrong.....lol

I just run a backup (sprite backup or mybackup pro), and have everything backed up.. Then if I ever let them do the update, I'd still have all my data on the SD card.

 

[Sammael]

That sounds all too familar. I won't let anyone tinker with my device unless I've done a backup within the last few hours. Heck, to be honest when I'm showing off a new device I tend to run a backup each morning. Overkill I'll admit, but it's come in handy a time or two.

 

[imtravis]

I've got Sprite backing up at noon, and Mybackup Pro at midnite..

i just got the moment last week from best buy and it allready came with cl14 update on it

 

[sprintnerd]

just got the moment and have cl14 but are they coming out with a firmware update?

 

[jtbledo85]

yes..... late march early april. straight to 2.1

 

[Sammael]

For those that either don't trust their repair center (like yours truly) or haven't had the chance to grab cl14 yet, I come bearing good news... Check it out folks, I admit, it's not what the majority of us are waiting for, but it is something...

Thank you, Sam. This post will be very helpful for many.

You're welcome, and I certainly hope so. My nearest repair center is 45 minutes away and after a, well colorful, experience the one time I did have to go there, I've been very reluctant to let them ever handle one of my devices again. I know some folks don't know where to look or how to grab all of this info, so hopefully this gets us all a bit more ready for when the good stuff comes out way.

Awesome... thanks for the heads up. I was going to take my phone in this weekend but now I don't have to.

I'm going to flash my phone as soon as the battery is charged.

 

[sprintnerd]

Well Thx Sam, I guess that means we will be waiting for a while before we get a New update, that sucks because "various battery updates" well I'm not feel'n it. Battery life still sucks.... Samsung is always had battery problems, hopefully we get a better update down the road. Sorry for the rant.

Getting started

I can't get by the first step, holding down the three keys simultaneously. I've tried numerous times, and two other people and no luck. How long do you have to hold all keys down before you see the downloading screen?
