Guess what no matter if you do it now or wait till official release you will have to wipe your data. So I will take the first over some stupid game progress.

Why? In tall the updates I ever had I never had my data wiped, why would this one?
Because this isn't an ota so it will wipe your data. Otherwise wait for the ota and then it wont wipe your data.

I just did the update and it fixed my wireless tether issue I was having. it would just re connect all the time and wouldnt let the computer connect. I would much rather do it now and fix this rebooting issue than to wait for them to send out an ota. So so far so good. They did add a lot more bloat to it.

Just checked and was prompted I have an update....installing now and can't wait to see what it does for the phone as I am considering changing the thunderbolt for the droid charge. I have 5 more days in my 14 day trial and really love the tb, but the battery is terrible.

Because they pulled that ota update but guess not the manual ck. You can install the leaked update by downloading it. On the main phandroid site they have a write up on it and where you can download it. It's a 420 meg file. Thy have all the instructions on how to do it and its easy.

Looking forward to MR2 on the 15th. I have random reboots but can wait a few more days.

Me too. Mine came without the update that caused the random reboots though, so I was hesitant to download it on the off chance it was the one cause the problems. I'll run the update when I get home now that I know others are getting it.
BTW I've ran several manual check over the last week I've had it and this is the first itme something has come up...
UPDATE: Just read the posts after that. I won't update until MR2 starts rolling out. I'd rather not deal with the reboots. :/

It should automatically start loading the file, It will ask if you would like to update. Hit power button to accept and then wait for it to install. Make sure you delete the .zip after it installs.

Hopefully 6/15!..not holding breath though.
People that are using Netflix now, does it stream in HD if you have a strong 4g signal? It should be fast enough to do so if the company allows it.

I had problems getting it to Install when I first tried. I ended up downloading the file from my phone and used astro file manager to edit it and move it to sd card.
