Today is the 18th. WHERE'S MY FROYO!!!

[davidnc]

Okay..
so I know that the notification box appears when the OTA comes to the phone..
But will there be an alert sound?
If so, I'll just keep my volume all the way up until it comes...

Anyone know if there will be a notification sound??

thank you

I usually get a notification sound when I get notification , so I "assume" everybody would get sound and a blinking LED, unless of course it does come by truck and then might be a real long loud truck horn LOL


PS: I am starting to have flashbacks of when I was waiting on my incredible to get shipped and posting in the "shipping thread "

 

[Sere81]

lol, these threads crack me up every time the update was supposed to hit.

"nothing"

"no update"

 

[DesertDude]

Sheeesh, with the shortage on this phone, I thought that there would be maybe 500 phones to update, max!

I'm gonna miss root

I want my Froyo

Verizon has some gaul ....they post the update on their web site ...complete with instructions ...yet no one I know or on this entire forum gets the update! Come on ...there has to be something fishy.

And why are we all guessing when it will come ? Why doesn't Big Red explain the roll out. I wasn't upset that we we didn't have FROYO, VZW owes me nothing in terms of phone updates, but once they announce it, Get It To the Customers who pay bib bucks for service and data !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my girlfriend worked for VZW (met her when i got the Dinc, and so far she's been the best part of the phone ), anyways she explained to me today that updates are rolled out in small batches first, then larger. there is no pattern to who gets it first.

As per your sig, did you get replacement ones when one of them forgot to make breakfast?

Patience, Daniel-san! Several users here already have reported they have received it - there's even a minireview. And some.guys at phandroid and xda have it, too. One of the insiders reported that the roll out would only be to a few thousand (edit: oops!) people per day for the first few days, ramping up after that. So it will take a while to hit us all. We just have to wait for the notice (or for.somebody to post the update.zip file).

I thought the rumor was that the update would be pushed to roughly 10,000 phones the first day (beta release style), then 100,000 the next, and 200,000 each day after until everyone was covered.

Can't remember where I read it, though, as I've been scouring all of the forums all day for kernels of info.

 

[ottscay]

Even though tomorrow is the weekend, will they still send out updates or do we have to wait for Monday?

The reason it is rolling out late on Friday is specifically because it lets them push much of the OTA out over the weekend. Come on guys, remember peak and off-peak minutes? Remember paying less for calls made during the evening and on weekends?

Yeah, well Verizon sure does, and they aren't gonna push out the OTA at 10am on a Monday, they want to get a head start on it during the longest period of off-peak hours in a week.

for those of you who are rooted here is what to do. Download the file from here Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!, than put it on your sd card, go into clockwork recovery, do a wipe date/factory reset, than wipe catch partition, than apply the above downloaded file zip from the sd card than reboot. This file will only update the Froyo Rom it is the official one but without the radio upgrade. If you don't have the 2.15 radio check the forums . Also this will upgrade the superuser version to 2.3.4 and change the superuser icon from what we are used to seeing to something that resembles a pirate lol but you keep root and tether and have the official OTA. Got this info from XDA and worked like a charm. Also, if you have the 2.05 radio and want to upgrade to 2.15, first download unrevoked forever from unrevoked.com and be very careful because you DON'T WANT A BRICK !!!!

 

[jeff1974w]

nope, i have no plans of replacing her! she's 26 and im 36, she's 5' 98lbs, im 6'4" 225lb. she needs no froyo love!

Sorry, meant "a few thousand people" in my post. There was a thread this morning where one of those dudes who claims to be an insider said it would be very slow at first with more dramatic ramp up after the first week or so. Not necessarily gospel, but that does seem to be how VZW rolls these.

 

[Paradox]

I think the big red engineers are sitting around with popcorn watching us all squirm like little pigs laughing their asses off. how mean can you be?

 

[sharkura]

Another thing to remember

We should remember that, in reality, the number of people on these forums is small relative to the total number of Incredibles in service. I'd guess significantly less that 1/7 of the Incredible user base. So, if it takes 7 days to roll it out, the probability that any of us have gotten it is, IMHO, small. Especially if they start with smaller sets at first.

[busterbuster]

It'd be nice if somebody (or Verizon) posted the update.zip file

Re: Has anyone received the rumored 8/27 OTA Froyo update?

Nope. Did the old 228. And manually checked for updates. Nothing

I Got it

I received the update at 8:29PM Manhattan NEW YORK CITY.

 

[PeninaD]

I am hoping to get the update before 6:30 tomorrow....if not, I am praying NOT to get it till after midnight into Sunday...if it comes through during the Apocalyptica concert in Philly, and I lose the ability to take vid, I will be royally PISSED.

Waiting for Froyo is kinda like waiting for Santa, except that you can't track Froyo on Norad. Anyway, no joy... yet. Providence, RI.
