I posted on HTC's Facebook page, asking what's up with the update, that I've not seen it yet. Their response was: "You should be getting yours soon! The carriers are still rolling them out. Let us know how you like it!"

Uhhh...I don't even have it and after all I've read, I'm not sure I am! lol! So of course I replied as such. We'll see what they say...

People, the solution to all your problems / issues is to forget the OTA and take the plunge to rooting. Seriously, I was so fed up with all these issues, that I decided to find an alternative and found Business Gingersense 3.0

All my problems / issues are fixed. Everything works on my phone, plus I'm using Sense 3.0

[ROM] Nils' Business GingerSense - Android 2.3.3 - Sense 2.1/3.0 + 3D (8/14/11 V3.0) - xda-developers

Nothing against this user, but how many users of smartphones do not even know about rooting, or this site or others. They have to deal with what verizon sends them as it is the only thing they know about. Not saying they can't/shouldn't/won't look for info but yes there are users that have verizon's software and don't know anything else exists.

Just my thought for the day.

Alright, sounds like rooting and getting gingersense (whatever that means) is a better solution than waiting for this buggy gingerbread update. I never rooted because I was always afraid of missing out on OTA updates (and blowing up my phone), but doesn't sound like this one is worth waiting for yet. I guess I need to head over to the "everything root" board.

"gingersense" is slang for the next (or more) version HTC's UI "sense"

The OTA (as far as a I know) does NOT update the "Sense" UI.

So your phone will look MUCH different if you go with "gingersense"

Not that's a bad thing per'se, just something to be aware of.
