[samcarroll]

I previously voted no, but I just got the update sent to my phone today. I'm so happy, I have been waiting for this since it was announced!

I need help though, I want to backup the update.zip file first, before I install it. That way I have a backup copy just incase.

I can't locate the file anywhere on the sd card. Thank you!

You have to make a copy of it BEFORE you install it because once the file installs the installer is deleted.
But the file is posted all over this thread.

I got my OTA updated tonight while I was out with less than 20% battery. I couldn't wait to get home to charge my phone. The send/rec MMS over wifi issue has bothered me more than any other issue with the phone and I'm so glad this is going to fix that.

its all good man no worries

there is a copy on their forums in the android development sub-forum, and FYI only one screen name here, same one since 09

Hey mwl1119 and behold_this, you posted links to your update.zip file, so how did you do it? I have the OTA update, I have not installed it yet. I pressed postpone. So how did you copy the file off your sdcard?

I never got mine from an OTA mine was downloaded from a link posted on another forum. The link to the file I used has since been deleted so I posted it on megaupload so everyone could use it on here.

I really have no clue how the file would be labeled from T-mobile but it was labeled update.zip when I got it.

I still haven't gotten the update. Its getting close to the 19th. (I think thats when they said it should be out to everyone.)

 

[AutoSortX]

finally got mine today!!

 

[macavely]

My girl still hasn't gotten her update.

 

[Cramill]

I still haven't gotten this update... Maybe i did and postponed it? But I doubt that...
But, if I did postpone it would there be some sort of notification or setting to go to to apply the update?

 

[NxJ]

i havent got mine yet. anyone know how they are distributing it? region or when you purchased your phone? i live in Michigan and bought mine the week it came out.

 

[Madwolf27]

no update yet... 1.5 hours left on the 19th...

You might want to check the tmo forum once in a while...Update has been extended and will not be completed today

 

[Cramill]

"we anticipate all customers will receive it by August 31"

So much for keeping the 19th deadline....

 

[Cramill]

Just got the update. It is installing now.

 

[troymichael]

Got the update and my email on my phone seems to be setup differently. In the past when an email was sent to me it would go to my phone and my pc. Now if my pc is on I only get it on my PC.

If my PC is off I get it on my phone but once i turn the pc on the emails are deleted on the phone as soon as i fire up outlook.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

once i turn the pc on the emails are deleted on the phone as soon as i fire up outlook.

The issue could be what each of your email clients (the one on your phone and outlook) are doing with your emails. It sounds like your phone might be looking at your mail account, but outlook deletes emails from the mail account when it gets them. Check the settings of each program (phone's mail and outlook's settings).

If it fully downloaded but you have not applied it look in/pull from: /cache in the phones files

ya its not in there, btw you only have 2 options. 1 click postpone and the notification stays in the indicator. 2 click update, it takes you into an install screen, you have no choice other than to install it. it never just downloads onto your sd card.

I verified with my nerdy android geek buddy, it takes you directly into updating, you cant just download the update.zip file then decide to update later. i dont know how the other people who posted their update.zip file did it.

anyways

 

[mika.flores]

Thank you very much!! To all of you!! I was not able to get the OTA update. My phone had almost no battery life when it started downloading and it turned off in the process. But now, thanks to you I have it.

Well you and your buddy could not be more wrong!! How do you think I provided you the update zip then? lmao!

 

[RazoE]

Still haven't gotten mine and it's the 2nd, called t mobile and they said to wait until Monday since that's when they send it out...

what kind of crap is that?!?

 

[behold_this]

Tmo also said if you use a task killer you won't get updated which is actually BS! The truth is tmo is the worst at updating phones because...well...they just don't ever do it and the few times they have they have always ended up pulling the update because of problems. The only phone to get a successful OTA from tmo is the g1 over a year ago! Do yourself a favor and manually update with the update.zip

On a side note this is my 1,000th post!
