Who has the MR2 Update (not leaked)

[quantumiq]

There has been lots of threads about the MR2 update being released, but i want to know given today is the 15th, who has already recieved it on their phone (not the leaded version)? There have been a ton of threads about the update coming, but none have been started now that the day is finally here. In a previous thread it was mentioned it may be a soft roll-out.

I for one was sad to say, I woke up today to see that my phone has yet to get it.

 

[Sparkyvett]

I haven't gotten it yet. Just 2 reboots already this AM. :'(

 

[sweet_heart_960]

New rumor has it being delayed till July 6th. When the Free Hotspot will expire in a software update.

I would think Jcase is a pretty good source. Wouldn't you?

Also possibly delayed because of this

Other than that. Like i said "rumor" I hope it is false and we get it soon. I'm tired of my phone rebooting.

If it was an outside reliable source I might believe it a little more... I guess I'll wait and see.

Although interesting, I don't see any evidence that VZW has "blocked 4G tethering" anywhere at anytime. Result; frivolous or inapplicable lawsuit.

Remember, in legal documents, words matter!

Nothing here in Nassau County N.Y.

Im running the leaked Updated MR2 & I there is a file labeled "TetheringGuard" that is built into this build..This could possibly be installed to prevent the free tethering.

If it was an outside reliable source I might believe it a little more... I guess I'll wait and see.

So has anyone heard any "official" response on when or if the MR2 OTA upgrade will actually occur? I haven't seen anything substantiated since JCase originally identified the 15th at the date.

BTW....just joined the forum and have been trolling for about 3 weeks. Kudos to all for their hard work in development and keeping their ears to the ground for upcoming improvements. Don't hear boo from Beg Red till it already too late.

Thanks!

Here's another 2 links that may convince you a tad bit more.

Verizon Extends Free 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot Offer Through July 6th for Thunderbolt, Charge and Revolution - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/verizon-prolongs-its-free-hotspot-party-on-4g-lte-phones-but-th/

In there stated a software update on July 6th to remove the Mobile Hotspot offer. That is where people are getting that date from i'm guessing. 4th paragraph down.

 

[Buzzy42]

Do the two have to be mutually inclusive? I don't see why they wouldn't want (and wouldn't it be safer) to release MR2 when it's ready, as a semi-optional update, but they'd need to do a "forced" OTA (or whatever needs to be done, there's some speculation it's not that big of a deal) to turn off free tethering which would only be a smaller (and mandatory) change in policy.

Yes, I'm hopeful to get MR2 (even though my Bolt is still stock, I'd like some of the fixes and hopefully none of the reboots of MR1) ASAP, but I don't see why the 2 need to go together.

 

[Brainfart]

It's allot simpler to push 1 update than to schedule 2. Especially if HTC already has Gingerbread finished (I'm hoping they will incorporate MR2 into Gingerbread ans push by July 6th since technically this is summer and that's when HTC said we would see Gingerbread for the TBolt). It would make more sense to push 1 where everything is combined.

I thought it had been determined that no OTA was necessary for to cease the free hot spot? Was that information proven to be false?

That is my opinion. Even the VZW statements have simply said an update will remove the free "offer". Nothing on the phone was ever mentioned. And I, as an IT Pro, see no need to touch the app on the phone. However, that doesn't preclude the possibility of an update for the app. I just don't see the requirement for a new app.

And, about the title of this thread. Do not be confused. As of 11:14: MDT, NO ONE has updated their TBolt with the officially pushed out MR2.

I don't think it was just you Frank, I thought someone else with similiar experience in a call center speculated that only a change in the system would be necessary. Speculation being the key word I suppose. We will see.

Somejuan will take the OTA update and strip out the anti-tether part and offer it up for the masses.
Don't update you phone until then.

I love that "somejuan"! Must be a voice command error, but it makes me think that you are anticipating that some random "Juan" will do this!
