If you're waking up today with a lot of energy in your engine today, then it's most likely due to the fact that Verizon is pushing out the Android 2.2 Froyo update for the HTC Droid Incredible. Considered as the other DROID handset, owners will soon experience all of the wonders that the tasty dessert has to offer – such as Mobile HotSpot functionality and supplementing its video capture to 720p. However, the biggest reason most owners are excited about it is the fact that it'll finally bring support for Flash Player 10.1. Right now though, it's looking like Big Red will be pushing out the update to a small portion of handset owners – with an eventual full blown roll out. In the the mean time, just sit pretty until you see that wonderful notification hit your handset indicating that the update is available for you.

One would think that those who bought their phones the day it was released (people like me for example) would get their update first. But that would make too much sense...

Or people who pre-ordered the phones.

It is by activation order (Sort of) but also by deployment. 1000 Incredibles the first two days. Then 10,000 by the end of a calendar week, then the rest of the users after that. Google has always done it this way and probably always will. It was done this way with the G1, the Nexus, the Moto Droid, Hero, Eris....etc etc. Google has stated this several times at the developers conference in San Francisco when I've attended a couple times.

Not so I pre-ordered my DInc and even got it a day early and I haven't received the OTA as of yet.

doesnt mean that your phone was activated anytime close to first in the u.s.

3. enemyisyou posted on 27 Aug 2010, 11:55 0 0

Naturally. But first day purchases and activations should get the first crack at it IMHO...

No. You are no different or better than anyone else. You can wait till the rest of proletariat recieves it.

Well, that is YOUR opinion. I stated MY opinion, and it was just that: an opinion. We can agree to disagree on the matter. I just felt that those of us who went out on day 1 should get it first. If that's not the way Big Red does things, then that's not the way they do things. Really, at the end of the day, arguing about who should or should not get the update first or whose OS is better is really inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. I was just looking to post an opinion, that's all...

I agree with you, we bought it first when it was new and unknown, we deserve the first set up upgrades if they aren't mass released.

Who should get it first is whatever group can be serviced the best. That might mean rolling it out in a certain locale. Or it might mean rolling it out to a certain manufacturing batch. Or it might mean something else. Bottom line: they should do whatever they believe will be most successful.

Good insight. Like I said above, I was just posting my opinion on the matter. I'm not one of those people who come on here and think I know what's best and I'm looking to fight anyone who disagrees, I just post my opinion...

I hope this update will brick far less devices than the Moto DROID update did.

12. lol (unregistered) posted on 27 Aug 2010, 18:33 0 0

Yeah me too...even though the percentage of bricked Droids was less than half a percent.

The "bricked" droids can most times be fixed, take them to your VZW store (company owned) and they have a process that can fix them. I have recovered a few droids that have been brought into my store.

Not gonna lie, I've always wondered how updates brick phones. Is it because the update doesn't download correctly, the is it a device issue?

7. derp (unregistered) posted on 27 Aug 2010, 15:51 0 0

its a result of shitty devices running a shitty OS.

8. THE_Drummer (unregistered) posted on 27 Aug 2010, 16:20 0 0

This seems to happen with anything from Androids, to WM devices, to Blackberries, to the infamous iPhone. So, unless you're saying that ALL smartphones are "shitty" and run "shitty" OS's, then your comment was rather useless..

9. derp (unregistered) posted on 27 Aug 2010, 16:42 0 0

no the only shitty OS being referred to is the turd called Android. iPhone is a joke as well, but hell of alot better than your precious Droids that are being stockpiled as paperweights.
