2.1 OTA Beginning 5/11/2010

it's not regional... completely random according to vzw twitter

While I do believe that, they also say that it can be pulled at any random time of the day, yet everyone I have read who is reporting getting OTA says that it happened after midnight/while they were sleeping/very early morning.
 
Now that Im on 2.1, I want the voice to text. I know its not on the update. I have seen people downloading vlingo here, but Im not sure where to find it.
Can anyone help?

Yes - the -order- is random, but the time it happens is usually during the hours of darkness. Probably for bandwidth and quality-of-service reasons.
 
I received the update but am now required to enter an 8 digit password to unlock my phone just to use it.

From messing around I identified that it's because my company's exchange account requires SSL encryption. :(

That said, I have co-worker on iphone that do their standard 4 digits to unlock so I have to assume there's away for us Droid users to still do the screen pattern.

Greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts/work arounds.
 
Also, what is the "50% bug" that I keep seeing? I've seen this mentioned many times, but never in detail and a search doesn't return any results. Thanks.

I'm also curious about the 50% bug. Can someone help us out with this question or guide us to the right thread? Thanks.

You can check for the 50% bug by going to Settings -> About phone -> Battery -> Battery use then click on Cell Standby

It's been said the reason for this is the phone looks for GSM and/or CDMA... not sure if it actually causes any issues

You can fixed it by simply putting your phone into Airplane mode, then hitting the End/Sleep button... wait 10 seconds, then wake the phone back up and turn off Airplane mode.
 
what do you mean the % on the security screen?

I have a lock pattern that i have to draw after i slide it down to unlock to make sure nobody messes with my phone.

On that screen it shows the % charged (i have it plugged in via USB)
also shows time and date.
I would take a picture but i don't have my camera with me.

Looks like I do have that bug with OTA.
I am just happy my signal bars appear accurate.
I guess I will know whether or not 50% w/o signal has any effect on my battery life in a few days.
