Gingerbread 2.3 was here, then gone, now it's back

[aelaster]

It seems as though, with 2.3.4, the Bluetooth connection between my Camaro and my Incredible is shaky at best. It connects for maybe 10 seconds and then disconnects and only reconnects when I wake my phone back up. Is this a known issue with 2.3.4?

Envy!! right up I5 and nothing here yet.

Hope you get it soon!!!!

just an FYI about the issue a lot of people are having with the apps on the SD cards not being recognized...

i finally got it to work by doing the following.
unmount SD card in Settings
turn off phone
remove battery
remove SD card
put battery back in (not SD card)
turn phone on and wait a minute
put SD card back in

after about 30 seconds they were all back

i have seen other posts saying to move them all to the phone, then move them back. i was not able to do that

Yeah, I'm still of the opinion that button really doesn't do anything Just keeps us busy. It'll update when it's damn good and ready, no amount of button pushing is going to speed it up.

So XDA has the ROM of this OTA, does anybody know if the Kernal or Radio have been posted anywhere yet to flash?

All I had to do was unmount/mount and power off/on.

I am still undecided if I'm going to accept the update when it shows up or wait. I called Verizon last night to check if they were aware of the 2 major issues with the update (apps on SD & thinking it's a Sprint EVO) and the tech support guy I spoke to said they had nothing on either problem...so I enlightened him. I then called HTC support to see if they were aware of the 2 major issues and he said that also have heard nothing, enlightened him also....BUT he did say they are working on another update for some other issues with the Gingerbread update. I already moved all apps back to phone in anticipation of the update. For some reason my phone has been acting very wierd and laggy (thinking it has something to do with the upcoming update) and it usually seems a lot smoother. So trying to decide if I should either accept the update, deal with the 2 major issues, hope my phone is back to it's normal smooth running self and wait for an update to the update or decline the update when it shows up, deal with a wierd acting and laggy phone and wait for the final new and improved Gingerbread update (if there ever is one)....LOL.

(Just realized I'm not a "junior member" anymore.....LOL....Yippie!!!)

Have two confirmed reports from friends that the low disk space is showing after the update.

I think it's at 100. I don't remember at all.


Your update is in the hands(paws) of the dingos. It's a little orange cause they decided they like cheese puffs too. You will have to wait for their supply to run out so they will wash their grubby paws and hit 'send' on your update.

Received the 2.3.4 update this morning. My title is a little misleading... I did reinstall apps and move them (guess I didn't have to do that, after reading this thread). But other than that, I have had no issues whatsoever. I moved apps to the SD card, and they have stayed there and worked just fine. I've had the phone powered down and back up a number of times to test it. Never a problem. And the phone storage numbers look right.

I know this doesn't help those who are experiencing problems. Wish I could help.

 

[Skipdawg]

For those who got the OTA is the issue of the Wrong Market App and the Hardware specs error causing any noticeable issues? Wondering if when I get the OTA push if I should accept or just say screw the Dinc and go get the Bionic. LOL

Crap! I knew I shouldn't have given my minions that snack! Completely backfired on me!

So...you are doing more work than you need...if you look at this thread, what you are doing falls under the "temporary solution". All you really need to do is eject and pull out the SD card, and then put it back in, and you would be in the same situation as doing what you describe above. You should read that post though, because anytime you (hard) reboot your phone, or mount your drives on the computer and umount, you will be back to missing all your apps.

If you tried moving them all to your phone and back, that might or might not work, depending on how you tried to do it....some apps just won't move to the phone, so they won't be fixed this way, but others could. However, if you do your SD card trick and them move them to the phone and back to SD card, that won't solve the problem...you really need to move them to the phone, and then reboot so the android_secure mount is moved to the internal storage, and then move them back to the "SD card".

I hope this helps...you should check out the first post on that thread, it will give more complete information and describe what is really going on.

As far as the kernal, I don't know, but I want it. But I got the OTA ROM from here. This one says 3.7 inch screen and has Verizon apps. At the bottom of the OP, there is a link for the radio, or click here.

I installed both, and my phone is running well. Note, though, that I did end up doing a factory reset afterwards. Rosie Utility was having an issue, and (maybe the same issue) the HTC Weather Clock would not retrieve my location (no matter how much I messed with the Location settings).

Does anyone know where to get the kernel, or a compatible one?

Traitorous thoughts!

You don't share cheese puffs with minions!
You give them gingerbread!!!

So what do I get for being a "member" now??.....obviously not a stable GB upgrade from VZW...LOL.

 

[jakob95]

I recieved the update today. But I was already on the leaked Gingerbread built from 2 weeks ago, built .2. If I press Update on my phone will I lose root access?

thanks robo, i didn't realize my solution was temporary. i saw your thread and will give it a shot. regarding the apps not moving to the phone, i was just using the settings--applications--on sd card then hitting move to phone. i was getting the message that the app could not be found.
