I got this update a few days ago and some of the things i noticed...

Increase in battery life
Better response in app drawer

I don't use Twitter, Amazon, or News but I'm glad to see better performance out of my phone. Solid update in my opinion even though I wished for other things from this update.

So do we go get this or will it be ota??

Also I got a call from Verizon today.

Said he just wanted to know if my family plan and phones are working ok....

I said yes... he said ok, goodbye...

WTF??????

Doesn't make any sense to me,,, anyone else get a call like this ???

Disregard my post above, I just went to the link ( LIKE I SHOULD HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE - my bad) and got the info....

Still wondering about the phone call though ...

Guess this definitely means we're not getting GB. That sucks, I was looking forward to getting that.

All I'd want is the news and weather update...

You can pull the app from the. Zip for the new update and install it on your phone. Should work just fine.

Also, anyone who is rooted and running a custom rom should not take these updates. For one, the developers will most likely include the fixes in their roms (through proprietary files). But the big thing is that they like to try to plug exploits and put in new methods of stopping custom rom users, which makes it tougher to root.

Well the D1 is still leading the airways in traffic volume by a large amount. I'd think they'd want to update the most used phone and the phone that put them on the map.

I have stock droid with just root but I'm not getting any system update can someone help please?

 

[mjustus]

Just so I am clear about the update.... our phone will notify us, correct? I don't need to go get it from somewhere? Sorry if its a noob question. New to all this

You don't have to do anything - it will come. And they roll it out over weeks so don't worry.
