Word on the street is that VZW announced the OTA for 2.2 next week. Booyah!

Hyperplex · « **Reply #211 on:** July 31, 2010, 07:30:09 PM »

For the original Droid, yes. The X will likely have to wait a few weeks longer.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #212 on:** July 31, 2010, 07:48:04 PM »

FINALLY, I get the Flash player!!

Woah.

Weird...but it sounds kind of cool.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #215 on:** August 19, 2010, 11:28:02 AM »

FINALLY. The 2.2 OTA update came today. I went to Abode's Flash site and:

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for Android 2.2 has been released to partners.

The upgrade path for your phone depends upon the specific device, manufacturer, operator, and the region you are in. If your device has aready received Android 2.2, Adobe Flash Player will be coming soon.

Unreal. I've downloaded beta 3 from Droidlife and will be installing it shortly. Crossing my fingers.

Pyroph · « **Reply #216 on:** August 19, 2010, 12:27:44 PM »

Installed it today as well. Yay!

zxlkho · « **Reply #217 on:** August 19, 2010, 12:29:10 PM »

I got it like last week.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #218 on:** August 19, 2010, 12:35:27 PM »

Looks like Flash elements are a hair slow/choppy. Better than not having it, and maybe once they issue the formal public version, maybe it will be better.

soundgarden · « **Reply #219 on:** August 19, 2010, 03:12:04 PM »

I like the new software updates. "Update All" rocks.

Also, I just recently finished setting up tethering on my droid for my laptop. Playing WoW in central park the other day was pretty sweet.

I'm still waiting for 2.2. What the fuck, Verizon?

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #221 on:** August 19, 2010, 03:17:13 PM »

I've been saying the same for weeks. According to Verizon, it is at random when it comes to who.

Girlfriend updated to 2.2 on her Droid and she hates it. Says it's slower now.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #223 on:** August 19, 2010, 06:27:08 PM »

Now that I've uninstalled Advanced Task Killer, I'm noticing things are moving faster.

Maybe she has a lot of apps running in the background?

I don't really know, my phone won't get 2.2

You should be able to get the proper version from the market.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #226 on:** August 20, 2010, 06:45:53 AM »

It isn't there. Yet. I just double checked.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #227 on:** August 20, 2010, 06:53:38 AM »

Weird. The beta (and now the final) version has been there for me since I updated to 2.2.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #228 on:** August 20, 2010, 08:08:36 AM »

Probably the phone you're using. A Nexus One, IIRC.

finally got my evo today, it's so damn sexy.

orcus116 · « **Reply #231 on:** August 20, 2010, 10:54:15 AM »

Finally got it. After my phone stopped freaking out it seems to have accepted the situation and succumbed itself to be 2.2's bitch.

millahh · « **Reply #232 on:** August 21, 2010, 08:24:11 AM »

The 2.2 leak is out there for the X, though I haven't taken the leap yet. Interestingly, the "check for updates" feature won't work now...I wonder if that means the OTA update is going to be pushed out earlier than expected...

Hyperplex · « **Reply #233 on:** August 21, 2010, 10:25:45 AM »

From what I am reading about the leak's use, it's quite snappy and attractive; overall a good release. I'm still waiting for the official push, though. After some of the things I've read and witnessed with friends, I'm not up for it. I don't feel like wiping the phone either, as one blog stated has to be done in order to load the leak.

Still very eager to get the push notification.

Everything I've read indicates that you don't need to wipe the phone; everything is completely preserved. That said, I'm waiting as well...while it seems to be working great for most people, some are having intermittent issues. I'd rather wait a little while for the official, (hopefully) bug-free build.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #235 on:** August 22, 2010, 08:40:11 PM »

Got my Evo with 2.2 on friday, flash runs great, the battery life sucks but i may get an extended battery to take care of that.

My Desire is coming today!

Hair trigger right there. Nothing a little "MANDELAY" won't fix.

So it turns out the Desire is out of stock. T-Mobile didn't feel like telling me though.

I forgive you Royal Mail. Please deliver my Desire on Thursday
