What!? 2.3 ota from Sprint!? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yeah just got off the phone with my friend who owns a HTC Hero GSM from sprint, and he said he just got the 2.3 ota update this morning. Idk, maybe he don't know what he's talking about, but the steps he explained sound legit. So, maybe 2.3 is officially here. Yay gingerbread for Christmas.
Merry Christmas!

Tell him to go to Software Version and read off Android version to ya.
Then you'd be sure if it is in fact 2.3

Yeah my brother's VZW Droid X "got an update" the other day and it was like, "2.2.1". Woooooo.

I've got a sprint hero and there is no gingerbread update

yeah my Samsung galaxy tab actually just got the Honeycomb update 10 mins ago

Hey that's what he told me. I haven't seen his phone up close. He said that's what it was. I don't think he knows what he's talking about, but until I can truly clear this up by looking at the phone up close, or a screenshot, consider it a myth. Don't shoot the meesenger...

Sprint hasn't had and never will have a GSM anything. Find a new friend to talk to about phones. No offense to you- your buddy sounds like a ra-tard.

Sprint GSM! What did u say? Hero??? That phone is pure CDMA !... try better next time.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I called him back, and he could find nothing about android version on phone info. But software version was 2.32.something, so i guess its a fluke. Oh well, thought it might've been something.
By the way, I meant to say cdma but haste got the better of me. Afterall I have a DInc, I don't know too much about sprint. So don't get your panties in a wad.

Maybe think before making another thread like this...
There won't be a Gingerbread Sense UI rom before a vanilla OTA for a phone like the nexus. HTC needs to merge all their code in first, and would probably "showcase" the new Sense on a new phone. Common sense.

Well, please excuse my insufferable ignorance.
Moderators, if at all possible, delete this thread on terms of insignificance,
Have a delightful day, gentlemen.

2.3 Gingerbread-Evo

I have 2.2 froyo anybody have a clue as to when gingerbread will come to the evo. I mean 2.2 works fine for me I just like to keep things current. That's why i went with Sprint "the now network". Lol but seriously, when @[email protected]

if you want sense, just wait. its around the corner im sure.

This is stuff you can do without a rooted phone. In fact, it's the de facto way of doing it period, rooted or not. Lol, we're talking about Sprint and HTC's over the air (OTA) update to give us Gingerbread without having to root.
Forgive my dumb question, I've just been on XDA reading posts and learning how to customize my phone for a few weeks now. I'm totally new to the idea of rooting my phone and am still trying to figure out how it all works. What is the difference between the 2.3 Gingerbread version from the previous version on the HTC EVO? Also, where is this "thank you" button?? I haven't seen it yet. It's not to the bottom right of anyones posts that I've read yet. Thanks!
Ok! Nevr mind on the Thank you button. I refreshed and they appeared....... ~)

The difference from the stock EVO froyo and stock EVO gingerbread isn't much. It was a half ass update if you ask me. The only good thing was the developers getting more tools to make more stable roms for us root users. If you do decide to root, I would suggest mikg 1.03. Great Rom and it has sense 2.1 and the cool parts of sense 3.0
EDIT: you also lose the ability to access n signal wifi with the ota gingerbread update, but if you are rooted than you can just flash the modified kernel the awesome devs cooked up.
And the thank you button will show up when you hit 10 posts...

Gingerbread?

Will our beloved incredibles ever get 2.3? I googled it and found no concrete answers. I wanna know so i dont root and miss out on ota 2.3. I figured if anyone were to know, it would be the guys at xda.

It could be a very very long wait seein as there are a bunch of new phones for them to pay attention to while ignoring the Dincs.
Go ahead and root, tons of us applied the update manually to 2.2 without issue.
I have a family member working for a Verizon as a DM, I try to get information out of him, all he told me is that the Inc is "supposed" to get 2.3, had no timetable when.
When the Evo 3D comes out and the source code gets released for Sense on 2.3 hopefully the guys over here can make it work on the DInc.
I agree with Ben. Root and get 2.3 now. Why wait for a buggy IT'S when we've been building and debugging the source already.

If VZW releases 2.3 for DInc, XDA ROM-ers will do loads of stuff with it anyway...

ET4G development

I'm not trying to be a jerk or one of those people who *****es and moans about stupid ****. I'm just wondering why we don't have an aosp kernel yet and why it just seems like development for this phone is lacking. I had an evo and it was so nice having so many options as far as roms and kernels and themes go. I just wonder if its ever going to happen? For this phone. And yes, I will be patient.
There is another tread just like this 6 spots down. Maybe post in that one?

And you dont have an evo killer. The evo is already dead, it's been out for over a year. Sprint stopped selling them.
I agree...lol
I think you'll be happy to know that Rootzwiki gave a CM dev an E4GT. Hopefully it won't be long!
So development is lacking because we haven't released what you want? Try making one yourself.. I have been trying to address current problems before moving on.. building an also kernel that continues to LoS is pretty pointless no? Maybe my development is lacking, but I have still released more actual improvements than most, and I don't even have the device..
By the way, EVO was a far more popular phone, and still took quite a while to get also running....

I may share, my method still wipes your phone, so I just moved everything I needed to SD.

You sir are a disgrace to the android community. Seriously.... asking for money for a root method? Nobody give this guy your money. He is clearly a troll. I doubt he even has a method for rooting. He will probably take your money and run. Even if he does sell you a working method you would only be contributing to this kind of behaviour.
Optional donations? Absolutely!
A fee? GTFO!

I was thinking the same thing and was going to say something but I figured I was probably just feeding the troll, but I doubt he even has a method either.
No worries guys... I've figure out how to create an exact replica (taste, smell, and feel) of the female anatomy using three pieces of rye bread, a jar of peanut butter, and four safety pins. I'll have the cobstruction tutorial up tomorrow.
But seriously, this guy is full of it. He's probably a 13 year old kid living in his parent's house thinking he's funny.

Premium Suite Update Poll

This is just for fun, cause we all know Sprint is gonna sit on it as much as they can before finally giving it to us...
But how long do you think before the OFFICIAL Premium Suite Update gets released from Sprint?
Keep comments related to the Sprint or the update itself please. In other words... ON TOPIC.
Like I said before I think late march or april. I just hoope its not like the epic were it was a great phone and they just left it in the dust. So beside this other question would be how long do u think s3 will be a flag ship phone for sprint

I will say officially from sprint in may 2013 from xda devs in January. The s3 was there flagship device but no more iphone 5 and optimus g and galaxy note 2 took that crown. I highly doubt samsung care about the us version, we are only a small fraction of there business.

I will be pro life and say they will release it a month after the Galaxy S4 is released.

My best guess.. about the 30th of Feb. Just a round about guess tho.
I think it's funny that no matter how well Sprint handles updates, people ***** about it. Correct me if I'm wrong (people always do), but wasn't Sprint the first carrier in the USA to push out Jellybean on the S3? Has anyone in the USA gotten the 4.1.2 updates for their S3 yet?

While I agree they were relatively "quick" with the last update compared to other times, I've been with them long enough to know they take their time on a LOT of things, not just updates to devices.
Aside from that point, it's my personal opinion that Sprint (or ANY carrier for that matter) shouldn't even have their hands in the updates released for the device at all. They should have their own software that is required for the device to activate and function on their towers and service and that's all. If you don't have their software, it won't work, simple as that. Whether or not they add additional requirements for their software to function properly on the device is up to them as well, as it's their own software and their service they are providing, but the fact of the matter is that it's NOT their device. So as to the updates to the software and functionality of the base device, that shouldn't be at all for the carrier to decide.
Think about it from a different angle... What if Steam or Skype or some other software as a service type company said that you couldn't apply an update to Windows or update your video card drivers or sound drivers until they release their own approved copy of the update or driver... You'd laugh at them, right? I mean seriously, how silly would that be?
Now, they can RECOMMEND that certain drivers or updates NOT be applied until they are fully tested, but they cannot force their own copies of the same updates/drivers upon you.
Not trying to start a full out debate here, but just my own thoughts on the update release process and something for people to think about.
Also, there's no need for vulgarity, no one is "*****ing" or "jerking each other off" here. This is just a poll and a calm discussion about the update and hopes for how soon it will be. Please keep it clean or I will have your posts removed. Thanks.
