Update release at 8 pm tonight

[kparks]

It's hard to download the update when it's been 4 days and your phone never even gives you the option to download it. :icon_evil:

They roll it out in waves I assume so if there are major problems they can pull the update... But most every1 should have it by now when u hit updates what does it say service unavailable?

Does yours even check for updates or not? Like mine

I got the update on my Thunderbolt on Friday. My wife's Thunderbolt still hasn't gotten the update yet. Every time I try, the "looking for update" window appears and then disappears.

You guys release this "fix" is probably just getting rid of the free mobile hot spot and giving people on thunderbolt forums something to talk about right?

One person says something about the hot spot now everyone is complaining about it Geeze.... I have the update and still get free hot spot and u really think VZW couldn't disable ur hot spot anyway lol sometimes u guys make me feel so smart...

yes verizon 100% absolutely can diasble your hot spot via an OTA update. You could do anything to system properties via ota update. They could push a entire different OS if they wanted to. You think it isn't extremely easy to disable the hot spot or any other feature through software?

Verizon could turn your phone into a brick via OTA update if they were so inclined.

Everyone isn't saying this because someone posted it after the update. People have all said from the beginning that there woul be an update to diasble the hotspot.

I honestly thought they would be able to disable the hotspot (on unrooted phones) without the need for an update but it seems they set it up in a way inwhich the hot spot is controlled locally rather than on the network level.

The update may fix the problem for some people but i have read enough online and have experimented with radios and MRs enough on my own to know this update doesn't fix the big picture.

My menu still just closes after checking. Haven't had the problems other people had so maybe I shouldn't bother wit the update anyway.

OK SO DID THE UPDATE GET RID OF FREE TETHERING OR DID IT JUST CHANGE THE ICON? I want to know before I restore to stock for the update
"bwwaahhh ttsssss"

 

[DroidStang]

Free tethering ? The hotspot icon you mean? It looks different, but still under apps, but no free stuff anymore though I have pdanet, paid version, still works,

Yes the new OTA update changed the hotspot icon and when you click that icon it displays a message saying to call Verizon customer service to add the wifi hotspot to your plan.
So, no more free hotspot capability for un-rooted users.
However, as another poster pointed out, Pdanet still works fine so Verizon won't be getting any more money out of me for teathering.

Is anybody hosting the most recent OTA? I saw a post in here that said Droid-Life had it, but I checked over there and found nothing but news posts about it.

I've 2 TB's..same hardware (0002) and was having same problem (update disappears) until yesterday. I swapped my wife's SIM card into my TB (and viceversa) and both phones latched onto 1X (Although we are in 4G coverage) and update kicked off at 1st attempt...Hope this helps...

Mine does the same, but I have had a terrible problem with restarting.

4G/3G switch added in settings

Now there is a way to switch between 4g and 3g in the phone settings with out using Phone Info or LTE On/Off. Under mobile network settings they added a Network mode option where you can choose between LTE/CDMA or CDMA only. Hopefully this means there will be a true one touch 4G/3G widget available soon.

I just checked and I can FINALLY download the update!
