Software Update Coming to Fascinate, i500.DI01 (Not 2.2)

[summerfish]

So there is an update coming to our phones, but it only fixes these issues? We have so many more than these!

So do we need to go to VW website to download these updates ?? They dont automatically send them to our phones ??? (Im new to Smartphones??)

It should be sent to your phone, or you can manually download it. (When it's available)

hopefully we can keep our root with this update

Only issue on the list that I wanted fixed was the 3G 1x switching....should improve some battery life and help me when streaming!! w00t w00t!


EDIT: I don't think we really have THAT many issues to deal with. I think most will be fixed with 2.2.

I really appreciate the little bump that they're giving....it at least shows that they want to solve the issues.

I'm sure we will. It's stupid updates so it shouldn't affect root. It's a fix for apps really, not for the software.

True, it does show that are being proactive with the phone and its issues. My biggest one right now is when I get a text, it shows the phone number, and not the name in the notification bar or if it does it's the wrong person's name.

When's this hitting the air?

Do we need to unroot to receive this?

I'm so glad to see the "No Service Audio Alert Removed"

I know it won't be available now (I presume) but when I do a check status, I get...
Source: Verizon Wireless
Status: Server Unavailable
Code: 500

So do I. I've already noticed that, but just out of curiosity, are you rooted?

 

[yankeeboy]

Well, it says it is available....but I cant get it to pull down. I am rooted. Anyone else any luck?

Maybe it did and I never noticed I guess I just noticed it Friday for the first time and I was like what is this

I've moved this thread out of the All Things Root forum to the generic Fascinate area where it belongs.

Incidentally, in anticipation of too many 2.2 related threads cropping up in the Fascinate forums, all about the same thing: when is it coming and related issues, let's give Rimzy's "official" Froyo thread a chance to be the place for all of this..

..I'm going to begin merging new threads on this subject into that one.

 

[mkzbdroid]

[Veez]

Well, I think his initial inquiry was mean to find out if rooted users were able to get the update or not ....

Especially compared to the Droid X!! ROFL!!

Yeah the update isnt actually out yet. People saw the pre-leaked pdf and figured it was actually out but its not out yet. So yankeeboy must have assumed it was out and that since he was rooted he could not DL it.
