1.6 ota update........

I tried to switch networks. This is bizarre:

Under "Network selection" I choose "search now". It disabled my connection, and then it gave me the option of only one network, AT&T.

What the???? I chose it. It works. It says 3g is working.
 
Received the update late this afternoon.

Firmware version
1.6

Baseband version
T939UVJE2

Kernel version
2.6.29
root@sep-56 #1
Tue May 4 19:02:25 KST 2010

Build number
76XXCSCBALUM63**

Only differences I see right away is a camcorder app that I don't believe I had earlier, and an alert in my notification bar that states "low on space - phone storage space is getting low." If I click on it, it takes me to manage applications. Again, since I'm not a tech person, I don't know what's new or not. Hopefully, one of you guys can use the info above. I'm in Cedar Hill, TX (18 miles south of Dallas). My battery was low when I received the notice, so I plugged into the wall charger and then updated. Took about 15 minutes.
 
Does anyone know if the OTA update downloads to the phone or memory card? I was wondering if not having enough memory could prevent the update from downloading.

For those who haven't received the update...this is found elsewhere in this thread but for your best chances:

1. Be as stock as possible (not rooted, no home replacement etc...as dictated by TMO, and must have received the 1.5 update)
2. I would turn off any task killers. Don't touch anything when it reboots either.
3. Connect the phone to your power cord so you have full power (not USB)
4. During the push hours, turn off your phone, take out the battery. Reboot the phone. If the Device Management arrows come up in the notification area but then go away...
Change your APN settings from internet2.voicestream.com or whatever they are to epc.tmobile.com
Make sure you are connecting via 3G (not WiFi)
Make sure you have the setting to ALLOW BACKGROUND DATA SERVICES and DATA CONNECTION AT BOOT set to ON
Turn off the phone, take out battery. Put back in, reboot
Watch for the Device Management arrows, if they stay on for more than a minute or so and your 3G connection is showing active, you are getting the update. Follow on screen instructions when its done.

For more information see my complete post on the first page of this thread.

Those are the steps that got me the update. Your mileage may vary.

P.S. I don't have a data plan (just WAP T-Zones and it still worked for me)

So i've done everything that was suggested to do, still nothing. Any ideas?

OH device MGMT arrows don't ususally come up when I reboot the phone
 
I wonder if the people who used Odin flasher and flashed the first update are the only ones not receiving the ota?

Has anyone that's been running root and returned to stock received the update?

I would say no, because I've kept my phone stock since i've had it in Dec. and still haven't received the update how ever I've seen the red/blue arrows in the upper left of the screen multiple times.
 
No I just wasn't sure if you were serious or joking. Maybe you should ask questions and learn a bit before you get flamed. What did you want to start a thread about?

Just tried this and got the arrows for about 10 seconds then they disappeared :rolleyes:

I'm doing it right now and the arrows are staying for a significant amount of time. They do shut off eventually though...tinkering with more stuff to make sure that the way is clear for the update.

Good luck to you. I only get the arrows after the reboot for 5-15 secs. I hope the stock ODIN image isn't keeping me from getting the update.

Alright so this is odd, I did the steps, It said it found an update needed to reboot. The Behold rebooted and nothing happened.

That always happens to me with the "Device management tip". I don't know if anyone has gotten lucky doing this but maybe the OP.

This is what I'm getting at... if you go into device management mentioned run the check for update let it do its thing then hit results what does it say?? There are also a settings option when you press menu I wonder if we can put the needed settings in those fields. .

Okat, It came up again & here it is - and what i received in the Messages;

Congrats. a new software update for your device.
To proceed Press next.

This will take 10 minutes, you can't make calls etc etc.
*clicks start*
Your Phone will now reboot.

Reboots; and everything looks the same like nothing happened. No status bar, no packet unloading, nothing. Now I could be wrong but the Dev Man. arrows pop up for like 5 seconds after this part. And the 3G Icon shows usage for about 2 seconds.

After anxiously waiting 10 minutes (again) *also during the 10 minutes no 3g(apparently being used, and no alerts*

Boom! nothing.
 
so how long did it take to download the update? i'm getting the arrows for a very long time but nothing yet. although signal keeps dropping in and out occasionally...they say uninterrupted signal, but it can't possibly start over every time, can it? usually these things are smart enough to resume instead.
 
well as far as I can tell, even though it says it found an update, it doesn't seem to install it or even do anything for that matter. I wonder what could be the problem. haha

PS. I totally can make calls. while that's happening.
