This should be a sign to all Incredible users to never trust an online source other than Verizon or Htc for update info.

The people writing these articles are just passing around unfounded rumors and can't even get that right!

Taken from http://www.ndchronicle.com/

"HTC Droid Incredible Android 2.2 update to take some more time. HTC Droid Incredible is expected to be the next Android smartphone to receive Google Android 2.2, a report on Mashable.com tells. It is speculated that Sprint Nextel will begin to upgrade Droid Incredible over the air into Google’s latest software update Android 2.2, codenamed Froyo."

Remember Mashable, the assholes that started passing around the last update date? Yeah, I'm going to believe them! And Sprint? Wtf, do some research, you dumbsh**

Can i update when they release it...if i already have the stock 8/1 leak on my phone?
[Droid Incredible General] greno1:
I'm sure this is posted somewhere, but I can't seem to find it...

When the OTA is delivered, will I have the choice on whether to apply it or not?

I'm trying to decide whether to apply Unrevoked Forever (S-OFF) or not. My preference would be to not apply it and wait for the devs to do their analysis of the OTA. But if I don't have a choice and the OTA is automatically applied, then I may go ahead and install Forever.
[Droid Incredible General] sryan2k1:
Yes, but it will nag you to install it every few minutes.
[Droid Incredible General] greno1:
OK - thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] Archangel:
Can I do like I did in my moto droid and rename the Ota cert so it will not keep trying to download the ota when it comes out?
[Droid Incredible General] :
Its reccommended not, but you can if you want to
[Droid Incredible General] br125:
Yes, you can and that will stop the nagging. Not sure why that wouldn't be recommended...
[Droid Incredible General] Archangel:
Thank you, yes i was confused at to why it was stated that it was not recommended to rename the ota certs? I did it on my droid with no problems is there anything that makes the incredible different?
[Droid Incredible General] laroadster:
little annoyed

ok im a little late in the game. i barely got my incredible this past week. coming from an iphone after iphone life. when i went to verizon they told me when i get home to go to settings and upgrade my phone to froyo. i didnt know if it was out or what.. didnt really know much about the status of the current android os. so i went home and tried to check my upgrade and it just said "current system" or whatever. so i didnt think much of it.

i started doing some research around the net and realized that froyo wasnt even out for the inc yet. and no one even knew when it would be out for the incredible.. i was like wtf was the girl talking about?

im within my 30 days and was considering trading this for a droid 2 and not even worry about if and when froyo is released for the Dinc. but i kind of like the Inc so i dunno what to do????? its rather annoying having a brand new phone that cant even get the latest OS. im confused. someone suggest what i should do. because what if that damn update never shows. and my 30 days runs out. i dont really want a droid x because im not fond of the large screen. id prefer an HTC device over a moto any day. but this is bs!

is a droid 2 better than a Dinc? i mean would it be an upgrade to exchange my inc for the D2? i know touchscreen vs slide keyboard i dont care about that i can use either. im talking about RAW power... like memory, screen quality, processor and gpu stufff.
[Droid Incredible General] jett2314:
Why would you not want to apply S-OFF? Do you not plan on keeping the phone? Did any one ever answer why changing the OTA cert is bad? Just curious?
[Droid Incredible General] patches152:
the incredible is a better phone, IMO. unless you want a keyboard. and also take into consideration MOTO posted a cease and desist on a few sites openly sharing the leaked froyo OS for the D2 (i believe, don't quote me, but they did the c&d for sure). i also find that with HTC vs moto, even though the specs are "identical" or close to it, the HTC phones have better quality coomponents (screen, processor, etc) so they'll hold up better, and perform better. just an opinion based on first hand experience.

it's not an upgrade, they have basically the same specs as far as "raw power"
[Droid Incredible General] mb02:
HTC already stated the incredible will be getting 2.2 by the end of the year.

also, droid x and 2 have a type of motoblur on it. i dont even really like sense, forget about blur.

if you want 2.2 that bad, just root and install a 2.2 rom.
[Droid Incredible General] greno1:
Oh, I'm keeping the phone - it's great! The only thing holding me back was the inability to go back to stock settings for any warranty issues with physical damage. But now that the unrevoked team has the S-ON fix, I don't have any reason not to install unrevoked forever. In fact, that's the next thing I do after clicking this Submit button.
[Droid Incredible General] Streamheat:
Does your navigation work correctly?
[Droid Incredible General] sanamkan:
Besides, 2.2 is coming tomorrow officially.
[Droid Incredible General] JayBTV:
I need to know this as well. I have the 8/1 leak S-off and 2.05 of the radio. The radio is what Im most worried about. If I do get the OTA pushed to me and I accept will it update both Froyonand the radio?

Thanks to anyone who can off insight....

[Droid Incredible General] srh21:
Hhahaha Nice
[Droid Incredible General] lamusician:
For those that got the official OTA update from Verizon, if you don't have unrevoked-forever installed, can anyone confirm if this will prevent the phone from being rooted with the regular unrevoked root method?

I know there was a mention of it before, but that was before the Verizon actually pushed out the OTA update.

Thanks in advance.

* I know that there is the S-ON fix available. I just want to confirm that root ability is definitely lost if I don't have unrekoved forever installed.
[Droid Incredible General] misanthropic777:
also can someone who got the OTA confirm the radio version after update?
[Droid Incredible General] palomosan:
Why wait for the OTA, just install Skyraider 3.0 Sense Rom and you'll get Froyo and more.

[Droid Incredible General] andybones:
As I'm waiting for the official for my own reasons, I do not think this is a reason for others, OF coarse they are going to say it wasn't leaked, they don't want to replace a bunch of phones with refurbs cos people couldn't wait a few days and had to try rooting before doing proper research, took me a week of reading and downloading everything before I jumped the root ship on the D Eris. FWIW
[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
Yeah, I actually upgraded to the new leak already. It's like buttah.

For some reason I just want to see the official OTA downloading onto my phone, though. Is that neurotic? Lol. Am I the only one that would actually get some satisfaction from that?

[Droid Incredible General] fortesquieu:
Same here. LOL
[Droid Incredible General] BurningHell:
No, I feel the exact same way, but I also don't want to put old radios on and such its sad but the ota will eveuntally come to skyraider and other eventually
[Droid Incredible General] merlin66676:
If i have used the leak will i still get a notice for the ota.
[Droid Incredible General] :
It's hard to believe no one has

gotten this yet from the forums!

wonder who is getting it now...
[Droid Incredible General] ximfinity:
So is this update a flashover? or will users lose their settings and applications like when a new rom is installed?
[Droid Incredible General] NinjaRicky:
OTA Diffrent?

My understanding is that the OTA is a flashover, while the leaked RUU was a total wipe.. but I've never been through an OTA before. I spoke with a Verizon support person a few minutes ago who told me that on her Droid Eris when it got the OTA it wiped her contacts, and gave a warning screen indicating that some apps may be lost. She strongly urged me to backup my contacts to my SD card.

I've also heard elsewhere that someone who recieves the OTA can download it from their phone as a .zip file and share it with others.. if that is true, I would seriously expect the first person on XDA to get the OTA update to do exactly that and we will all be able to snatch it and run the OTA version from there. At least, that's what I'm hoping. I really don't want to wipe out all my stuff with the RUU. :cool:

I think he should hit DECLINE. He should not accept, until we can all accept!
[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
It's almost 8PM EST and I haven't heard of anyone getting it yet. Still, I'm going back to stock recovery and wait for the OTA. Wish me luck, maybe it will be there waiting after first boot.

EDIT: It wasn't! Hahaha It feels weird not being rooted. I have been taking adfree for granted.
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
They are liars!

I keep checking my SYSTEM UPDATES on SETUP and it keeps telling me that my system is up to date. That's a lie! Damn VZW.
[Droid Incredible General] sryan2k1:
That menu option will only ever show something if your phone has already downloaded an OTA and you have delayed the installation.

Going to it doesn't check anything.

I just flashed the rom.zip out of the RRU earlier, everything seems well, less signal strength based on bars, but no noticeable difference in voice.
[Droid Incredible General] inessi:
apparently multiple people over on androidforums got the update its floating around but i wouldnt expect it to roll out that fast considering there rolling the moto droid update and the dinc update.

*update* http://www.incredibleforum.com/forum/htc-incredible-general-discussion/4288-i-just-got-ota.html

2 people got it at inc forums
[Droid Incredible General] NinjaRicky:
And yet not a SOUL at XDA has gotten it and posted any info whatsoever.. hmmm?
[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
They have been tracking our ESNs this whole time. We've all been blacklisted!

Quite a few people at Android Central have gotten it today

[Droid Incredible General] NinjaRicky:
Fair enough.. but the XDA folks are the rootmasters that I trust. If someone HERE posts the update.zip of the OTA, a whole lot of us will be very happy.
[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
Well if I get it (OTA) then consider it done.
[Droid Incredible General] crashdogy:
nnnnnnnnnnnn
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
There seems to be a bit more people at androidforums.com claiming they got the OTA. One showing pictures, but honestly what does that do, all it did was show apps, which could have easily been the RUU. But who knows, patience is a virtue.
[Droid Incredible General] crashdogy:
Nnnnnnnnn-
[Droid Incredible General] crashdogy:
1. When/if you see the notification that you have an update available -- stop everything and run the aLogcat app.

2. Send the log file to yourself via email (that's built into the app)

Look through the log file on your computer, searching for a URL

3. Try any URL's that you find on your computer's browser

When you find one that downloads a zip file, save the zip file to your computer

4. Shout from the rooftops, and share that URL

5.Then upload and mirror it somewhere

Thanks to gbhil for info
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
Good info, thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] R1lover:
I don't think it has hit anyone yet honestly... if it had.. we would have our hands on it already.
[Droid Incredible General] rdmerck:
Yes, but how many people are running SkyRaider or any other kind of Sense/Non-Sense rom, or even stock 2.1 and a modified kernel that could thwart the OTA notification being presented to them?
[Droid Incredible General] tchebb:
I was gonna wait, but I got impatient and used the leaked RUU since it's all the same build numbers as Verizon's official update docs specify. Probably, many other people here have done the same thing.
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
So if you're real bent outta shape and can't wait for the OTA do what I'm doing. Get S-OFF and use the 2.2 RUU until the 2.2OTA is full blown and then just RUU back to stock 2.1 and get the OTA.
[Droid Incredible General] psalm462:
I don't know of anyone getting it yet. My friend has the DI and his is not rooted, and nothing! We shall see.

Just went to Verizon store today and found a demo Droid Incredible running Froyo. Made me want to swap my Droid for the demo. The rep said that it will finishing the rollout by the end of next week.
[Droid Incredible General] Colomonster:
vzw says it launched it today...

/twitter.com/VZWSupport

also i started a thread asking but i figure i should ask here, will a unrevoked splash and custom boot animation affect me seeing the OTA availability? i reflashed the stock recovery... is that all i need to do? otherwise i am stock radio and ROM oh yeah with s-off and root.

Edit: Custom splash, and boot animation does not affect the OTA i got an answer from my thread.
[Droid Incredible General] Drago663:
If anyone is interested I have the update waiting for me to except. and I have'nt the time yet to do so. I'm waiting till I have time to watch it and what not. I know some people mentioned doing something before its installed. to help get the update address out.

Got OTA

I received my OTA Android (Froyo) 2.2 this evening.

It was 93.7 MB, took about an hour to install, and used 1/2 of a full battery.

Everything looks a little different and I will have to use it for awhile to see what the changes are. I did notice that I can rotate my phone left or right for landscape.

My Incredible is now running Android 2.2.
[Droid Incredible General] 1107963:
I rooted my phone and reverted it back to stock.. and this morning I saw the update and when I press the update button, it just gave me an error message.

Im trying to get the update.. I just hope I get the message to update again..

Update 8/31, Laramie Wy

Did not re-write system settings, out of the box teathering still working. Mobile hot spot enable through the out of the box teathering. No VZW fees.

Flash 10.1 out of date, will not updated through the Market. Market does not show Flash 10.1 for the DINC. Probaly a timing issue.
[Droid Incredible General] imasterxx:
my experience

and i was able to upgrade to 2.2 froyo manually. i can't post the link b/c this forum wont allow me, but u can google it yourself. but it did remove my root :mad: the good thing is it does keep all your configurations (ie: widgets, icons, app settings, etc...) with the OTA rolling out to the public soon i might just wait until the su crack comes out.

it does have the wifi hotspot app built in, but verizon has it's claws in it... you can't enable wifi without paying the extra $ for the package - a total load of B.S.! And if you try to use the wifi hotspot app that works so nicely in 2.1 it just stops right away.

...hope to see a root patch soon for 2.2....
[Droid Incredible General] jaangunnar:
Got my update this morning, and it's creating havoc on my phone.

First, the phone wouldn't boot. Got the 'droid' sound effect, and phone would freeze. Fixed itself after a battery pull.

Now, contacts won't load, one of my email accounts won't sync, phone is not as smooth or stable, keep getting FCs.

Never got around to rooting, so it was stock rom -> OTA.

Anyone else? Ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] jrdnthms:
Ok finally got the update this morning! Sadly I didn't have the battery life to install it at the time :'( and I had to get appendix out before I could install it. Verizon would torture me by doing that.

Received ota this morning ...Las Vegas ,screwed my phone up. Phone was unresponsive during phone calls. I still have super user permission even after wiping phone and doing factory reset.
[Droid Incredible General] ohmyhead:
Got mine on the 28th, right when I was in the middle of recovering from a factory reset done to hopefully kill the random rebooting issue. Not sure which thing fixed that, but it's fixed. DInc - Southern California. One thing I notice post OTA 2.2 is that the phone is SLOWER. Like the photos in the gallery take way longer to display than before. Scrolling stutters some, too. Nice.
[Droid Incredible General] speedin_driver:
Fort Worth, TX. Got mine yesterday by noon. Disappointed.

Cons:

Lot many rubbish apps which I will never use came preinstalled (Skype/Verizon Navigator....) :mad:

Apps clogging memory, restarts after Kill/Force Close :mad:

Apps Draining battery life :mad:

Phone heating up :mad:

Pros:

All configrations and contacts intact. :cool:

Verdict:

Better refrain from an upgrade.
[Droid Incredible General] lhinds7:
Got mine last Thursday. How does this work with rooting and such then? (yes I'm a noob at Android, pretty good with the iPhone though). Do I have wait until an update to the rooting software is released?
[Droid Incredible General] colonel187:
My .02 cents.

Just install a cooked Rom. Skyraider is awesome. Most custom Rom have the "crappy apps" removed and are based on the official ota. If you are rooted download Rom manager. Stock to me dint worth it. The custom Rom are way faster and better on battery.

Got mine today - Pawtucket, RI.

Unfortunately something went wrong. I told it to install now, and the screen with the android and caution symbol showed up. After 10-15 minutes I hit the power button. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to wait for that screen to clear or if that screen wasn't a good sign. Well hitting power took me to recovery and said that there was an error with the install.

What did I do wrong. Was I just supposed to wait longer? I had previously rooted my phone with unrevoked, but was running the stock ROM, should I have unrooted it? Was it some other error?

Any insight into what happened so when the update comes back around I can do it right. Also is there anyway to get the OTA update back, or do I just have to wait patiently again.
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
Got the update message a few mins ago after a call, rejected for now as I still need to S-OFF + use Titanium Backup + a nandroid backup to back up everything. It will give me something to do this Labour Day weekend while I wait for the burgers to grill =).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Htc_Woman:
I know sprint has banned certain sites so that users cannot download free ringtones and stuff, but up until I flashed roms I was still able to download and play them.

When I first got my hero It was running fresh rom. I could still download/play ringers from myxer. Then flashed to icerom, and nothing. Now using cm6, and nothing.

When i download the music tones now they show up as a .dm filetype and when i try clicking on them it says my device does not support that file type.

anyone else know of a fix or way around it?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
From the HTC support site, I found that the following audio codecs are supported by the HTC Hero: MP3, MIDI, AAC-LC, AAC+, AMR-NB, SBC. Google or Wikipedia could probably tell you all the supported file extensions in those codec forms (I don't know them all off the top of my head).

I searched for the .dm extension and it says it's a Sony Ericsson file format for ringtones on their devices only. Sounds like its proprietary and probably unplayable on anything else, so you might just be out of luck on any of those.

You may could try taking your .dm files and converting them to a supported format/file extension? But I read that the .dm format is protected so this may not work. I can recommend a couple good audio encoder programs -- PM me if you'd like.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanan00:
Try changing the file from .dm to .mp3 and see if it works. I ran across this on the xingtone site with my old phone.

You can side load ringtones on the Hero, just download the ringtone and put it a folder /.../Media/Audio/Notifications/ and they will show up in the ringtone list on the phone.
