It appears that the 2.3.340 update went live around 2 am EST. I am in the process of installing and will report back very shortly with the details of the experience.

How has the update been for the rest of you?
 
Quick update, didn't take too long to download over wifi and the install went just as quickly. Lost root in the process; Z4 still works for rooting so they haven't patched the exploit.

Nice update to the dialer! It's a small addition (having the most recently called contact visible, and then listing possible contacts as you dial to save time) but one that I definitely appreciate.

No battery FCs as of yet, I've hammered it multiple times.

A link to Madden 2011 is perma-installed. LauncherPro will hide the link, or use your favorite root tools to make it go away more permanently. This is a practice Verizon needs to stop.
 
well my 2 biggest issues are not fixed....my music is still in alphabetical order instead of track order, and i keep getting cannot connect to voicemail error

install failed twice.....rooted here....any ideas?
 
Wow. My 3g connection totally went off since 2am. I've been trying restarting the phone and everything. This might be the culprit.
 
Here's my experience so far:

I've tried three times. I'm only rooted, no custom ROM flashed or anything.

Next I'll force unroot and try again.

I wish I had an idea to help. The OTA went silky-smooth for me despite being rooted. When I saw the update had gone live, I ran Cache Cleaner NG then rebooted prior to running the OTA. No error messages here. Have you deodexed or changed any system files in any way?

If you have any frozen bloatware apps un freeze them....I think all apps origional apps have to be available for the upgrade to install....not sure this is the cure but I am trying it now....will let ya know.


I am going to have to SBF because i am deodexed.....guess i will wait till tomorrow and see what the new update includes......thanks for the input Ash...still kinda new...so you saved me some time and trouble...much appreciated.

Im in Iowa and my phone is from Jersey too and i got the OTA. Are you on one of the leaks? or rooted? I had to SBF because i was deodexed among other things and the OTA is installing as i type.

Install went fine, though i guess because of network traffic, syncing with the google servers is difficult right now. Oh, and battery manager DOES NOT FC!!!!
 
no im still on the stock device - although i have contemplated rooting on many occasions, i am running a mac and simply do not want to have to download bootcamp or something else to mess around with it. My phone died right as i was checking, maybe that was the problem. It is charging now- im going to wait until about 30% then try to do it again.
 
Just did the update on my unrooted DX, and it went fast and flawlessly. Battery Manager worked the first time I tried opening it, and that was the only real issue I've had with Froyo, that thing FCing all the time was irritating. If I run across any issues, I'll post up about then.

I am in northern IN and I have the update available to download now...I would guess in the next day...but thats just a guess....wifes X also had the update available...maybe do a little update dance then check...lol...its in the IN air...just has to float your way.
 
thanks. now im getting a message the check for update was not available at this time? and i tried to sync my phone with backup assistant and it failed. something may be going on with my phone? or verizon?
 
It appears that verizon's network and google's servers are bogged down. after i sbf'ed and did a factory reset, i could not connect to the servers. bummer for now since none of my apps came back except for purchased ones.
 
4th time's a charm.

This time, I "unfroze" the few apps that I had renamed in the /system/apps/ folder. Update went fine then.
 
games are noticeably smoother! I guess that's included in the ol froyo stability bullet point. Seriously though! My quadrant score was even 150 higher than before. Im stock by the way.
 
Got The Software Update Failed error. I unfroze my frozen apps and rebooted first. Any ideas? I had done a manual root after froyo, I don't need to unroot first, do I? How?
 
Just did the update. Downloaded quickly over WiFi and took about 2min to install.
I was: Rooted (Universal Androot) and with Rom Manager, Koush Bootstrap, but otherwise 2.3.15.

[Results]
All looks good! Except I lost root. (no surprise).
Universal Androot (1.6.1) does NOT work.
Z4 Rooted just fine :)
Clockwork Recovery still installed and working (!?)
Boots 4 seconds faster.
Seems to take longer to load widgets (never timed my time-to-fully-booted)
