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

[R2D4]

Someone over at AndroidForums posted this little tibit. I am not 100% sure, however it did seem to work for me. Those still waiting for the OTA...

Go into settings ->Date&Time -> Uncheck Automatic -> Select "Set date" and put your date out a few weeks ahead(i used 19th Sept).

Go back to main menu and wait, it will at soem point go back to the correct date.

I went into Settings -> About ->System Update and Bam!!!! It was downloading it. And yes before i did this I check beforehand to see if I had the update, which I did not.

There has a been a couple people this sems to have worked for. I make no claims that this works 100%, however it certainly triggered mine to get the update..

Enjoy Froyo if it works for you!!!

This worked for me. Thank you.

Well, my stubborn waiting period is over. Froyo was waiting patiently for me this morning. I went downstairs for my first cup of coffee around 6:45, and it was there. Sadly, I admit I actually gasped audibly when i saw the notification. I then waited until I was fully conscious to proceed. I've had no time to go into any apps or new features, but I definitely notice a much more crisp, "snappy" response just with mundane things like switching screens, launching apps, etc. And now, on my busiest day of the week, my phone waits for me in a dark drawer behind me in the credenza in my office.... Somehow, I think I'll be getting my work down much faster today.
Ahhh, meaningless technology....I happily succumb.

Got mine a couple of hours ago. I didn't even really care that much about getting it, but I still had a little smile on my face when I saw it. Thankfully I'm not the last one waiting on it, that's how I felt when I was waiting for it to ship!

Now I just have to figure out why this one is so much more important than the previous version. I think the colors look sharper, but that may just be my imagination.

Hurray! The world is complete! Congratulations.

I had to reinstall swype, but I'm not sure that was necessary. If you hold a touch in an input field, it will ask you what input ... swype or whatever the standard input keyboard is ... just select the standard, then repeat the process and select swype. That might work.

I think I may end up being the last person on Earth not to get the update. Waiting for nearly a week in Illinois...
I'm waiting it out...

You're not alone man, I'm still waiting too.

Still waiting and waiting!!!....

Well here we are Thursday and I am still waiting. I am strongly considering the update.zip but I'm also reading a lot of people that have problems with it. Who knows, I'm not a trusting person when it comes to things like that and I'm kind of worried about viruses and stuffs like that. What I'm wondering is I thought tomorrow was the deadline for the update? Is it still? I called VZW and they said they don't know how long the rollout is gonna be so I'm a little bit confused. But they always seem to know nothing or they lie about what they really know. Something else I wondered is can they skip people and forget? Also, I have 4 lines with VZW so I would think I'm a VIP and I should get the update first!! ;-) Well I know these are many questions but that's what I'm wondering. Hopefully someone here will have the patience to answer!

No problems with the update.zip...

Yes, reinstalling Swype IS necessary...
