From where? Is he talking about the final version of GB from the DX or something? I have no clue what the "Soak" is here and don't see it anywhere else.

Motorola/VZW sends out the official GB OTA to a select few, which is called a "soak test".

To the D2 users? I'm really confused here. I thought VZW/Motorola already brought the GB OTA for all DX users a couple months ago. Wish someone would clarify a bit more to what the "Soak" is/does, why only a select few, which devices, if its just a testing update will it roll out for all D2 users?

dx has gb yes. d2 however just had the soak released last night, i am in the soak. so far it seems great. but i havent really had much time to play with it. but i have used my phone today as i always do and have had no issues. but havent explored every extent. battery life seem good. i was on monster leak and this is very similar. infact i havent really noticed a difference. and it is rootable. via d3 method

Hey Swagger what up bro? I started this thread to give other D2 users an idea of what "To come" of the official update via verizon/moto...Yes, the Dx got their update to gingerbread..before they officially sent the update, they do a trial or a "soak" to test the software...I know you probably already are familiar with the way this works, but just wanted to specify in detail what this post was meant for and what it means...We are finally after a year getting our Official update to gingerbread..Which we saw however the D2global get the soak and fail...for too many bugs or whatever..So they sent us one this time..I am sure though, its going to be identical or more like closely resembling the update the DX users got..We will be happy as the devs will now be able to start work I'm sure soon after the update..this part however I am unsure.because of all the ginger goodness we have all been getting based off of the leak...

I see. So how do you see if you got the invite or not? I never get invited to any of this good stuff. For all the trouble VZW caused me a few months back by overbilling me $450 out of nowhere, you'd think they'd do something nice for me.

 

[americanz]

hey any time. just trying to help everyone out. i am afraid i may be screwed tho as i did root. and if they send out a revised ota after the soak. i will not be able to receive it.....
