If I have wifi enabled, will I get the popup for the download? Or do I have to be on 3g?

The ota will show even if u use 4g so dont worries. ... Ota will come one way or another no matter what u using

My question was about wifi, not 4g.
Sent from my non-rooted, stock eclair Epic.
It will still work on WiFi, and I'm trying to say this in the most polite manner possible but please stop making threads about the OTA... this has to be at least your 4th
Im pretty sure this is my first about the ota. Maybe I made one back when we thought we'd get it in dec, but this is my first about his ota. Idk, thanks though

It doesnt matter WiFi, 3G or 4G its going to pop up regardless but if you want to download it faster turn on one as soon as it pops up and if it wont dont let it update turn on your WiFi then goto system settings update android and do it that way
Ok. Thanks.

Well this is the Q&A forum, so he's entitled to. And in the interest of sticking with OPs, he shouldn't be latching his questions on to other peoples threads. He's done nothing wrong.
EDIT: and some people DO want to get the OTA, not wait for the update.zip, just for the sake of saying "I got an OTA."

Dude if you didn't notice, I'm not rooted or anything. I will stay stock froyo once I get it. People should stop assuming everyone uses custom roms.

Usually the first thing the DEVs do is rip out all the Sprint and Samsung bloatware. I for one would like a week or two to play with any new widgets or apps added to see what I like or don't like THEN maybe slap on a custom ROM and add the features I liked also for the bugs to be worked out.
So the big question for us rooted phones is where can we find the update.zip asap tomorrow so we can flash it with CWM?
Thanks to all that make this phone great!
I caught wind that VZW is going to put out 2.3 OTA update soon, so here's my question.
If I'm rooted, but still on the stock Rom, which I have to put it back to, everything stock except for "root" and radio version, will the OTA update unroot my phone, or in any way mess anything up?
I will unroot it myself and put EVERYTHING back completely stock if I have to, but I'm not ready to give up the ability to WiFi tether my phone with my xbox to run xbox live.

Most likely the update will break root. Most do. But generally given a few days to a couple of weeks there is a new root method

Odds are someone will take the new OTA, add root, busybox, rom manager and other essentials. Make it flashable via Rom Manager the night it's released.

It wasn't long at all after the 23NOV update started being pushed OTA that us rooted dummies had a very simple to follow set of instructions:

Will be the same when/if 2.3 hits.
I don't think there are any legit sense roms built 2.3 yet. So we are forced to wait
Does anybody else think that the 2.3 ota is gonna come with Sense 2.0?
Can't wait for 2.3! However, most surely we will have to reset all settings before can update.

i really hope so. that would be incredible.
I for one like the sense clock, but I don't like the launcher, hope they add more buttons to push, like putting all the most used stuff together, like contacts.phone.messaging.browser....all on the same line. Maybe not in that order though.

If you guys wanna try a great Sense 2.0 ROM I would suggest Warm Z TwoPointTwo. Been using the nightly 3/31 and its a fantastic ROM with great stability. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901822
I think I'm done with custom roms, not a single one I've tried has been stable so far, even though they say they're stable. I think it might actually be something with my phone that's causing instability with roms.

Sometimes u have to try different rom/kernel combos to figure out whats best for u. I have great luck with nils business z and re eng z, both using ziggys latest bfs w/o havs kernel. Im even overclocked and there both more stable than stock with fantastic battery. I wouldnt give up, your combo is out there.

Wouldn't there be some word from HTC if so? They did confirm the GB update in Q2 but didn't say anything about sense 2.0 in the emails I saw..

Last night I installed the NON Rooted version of the leaked Gingerbread Rom.
Everything Seems to works. Signal Reception is way better!!!! I notice it so much more!
Some people said the verizon app kept force closing. Mine did right after install and upgrade. But once I rebooted the phone it never happend again, not once.
Gps works perfectly
Camera perfect
Video perfect
HTC Widgets are now downloadable
SMS /MMS is perfect (before I had some force closes and alot of failed sends, Since install of Gingerbread I havenet had one problem.)
NOT ONE FORCE CLOSE ON ANY APP, this seems like a FINAL BUILD
If you have any questions let me know
Also for twitter lovers the PEEP app by HTC is greatly improved.
I am thinking about flashing it before I get my XTC clip just for ****s and giggles.
There are bugs serious enough in it for verizon to reject it, there is a new build in testing.
I cant find one single bug with it. Ive tried everything. My reception is soooooo much better. In bars and actual call quality. I havent seen one force close in 2 days of use and i have atleast 50 apps installed and tried them all.
Now i cant guarentee its final but boy it does seem so.
If you guys want me to try anything on it let me know.

Has the stock internet browser been updated? I prefer it over the third-party ones, but have found it to slow down under heavy use, especially on forums.
And I guess the obvious, any improvements in battery life? Especially with regular use, no videos or games, just browsing, having sync all enabled, etc.

I dont mind flashing RUU everytime.
As far as other improvments. Well batery life has always been good for me. I get up to 12 hours of use of the phone before it dies. That is great for a smartphone!! I dont play games but im syncing Twitter and 2 email accounts. all pages full pf widgets nd im not stop texting and streaming rhapsody.
Alot of font changes in the rom. Also when you do a factory reset it gives you the option to format SD again. In all honesty this ROM is perfect IN MY EYES!
Guys if this is a sign of whats to come from HTC were in good hands!!!
oh also I notice NO SLOW DOWN or stuttering EVEN WITH LIVE WALLPAPER ON......
Now i prefer sense ...but i can only imagine how much better this phone will be when the devs start dropping some sweet roms!
That is assuming a RUU is available for each update, it isn't always available.

jcase you obviously have alot of experience here,
what is the likelihood that we won't see an official gb ruu? it seems highly ulikely to me that htc wouldn't put it out, or someone couldn't get it out
i'm also in phone limbo till the clip arrives, but flashing ruu to ruu isn't the end of the world as it's been made out to be.
would you care to explain the bugs in this build you've heard about?
I have personally had minimal issues. ( gps icon in top bar doesn't go away ) that's all besides vz app non compatibility
Out of my own personal curiosity, is there anyone else like my that hasnt done a single thing to their phone yet (no root, no roms) and are just waiting? I was wondering if im the only one left lol. (bought the phone on launch day btw)

Exploit for the stock rom?
Have had mine since Wednesday I believe, have not done anything to it, although I have no prior experience rooting/modding phones.
I find myself wanting to be able to change little things and I'm not sure if rooting would let me be able to do these things? Stuff like turning off camera shutter sound (I think I've seen articles about this and rooting is required). Also changing vibration pattern? Like having vibrate pattern specific for new email, vibrate pattern specific for new text, etc?
I too am waiting. I haven't been disappointed or eager to change much of anything that would require root access. I am content as of now.

Yeah dood, dem Brocken computerz I heard is the WORST (hehe). But in all srsness, im just waiting a LITTLE longer until the features in roms flesh out a little bit, seeing as how theyre still new and all. Im very tempted to get that 1.6Ghz kernel and all, but this phone is so darn close to perfect as it is. I almost dont want to de-virginize the thing XDD
Nothing yet, waiting for some siik roms.
However, I can't wait ...biggest deal maker for me is the ability to control volume of everything individually ...I.e. Alarm high, notifications low, ringer mid...and waiting for AOSP roms
What are people waiting for?
The root is available.
Running a completely stock rom + stock recovery + stock kernel +su binary/apk.
Works great.
I been addicted to flashing since the evo days n had this phone since day one. Love this phone n i dont really see the point of rooting this bad boy because its a sick device on stock.
Just waiting fOr this lost of signal drama and all this bugs are reporting from flashing this custom kernel n for more roms to come out. N maybe after ill root this bad boy.

I just came from the Nokia n900 and having so many things working on the phone is a refreshing change! Ive lurked around and read a lot! As a result ive succesfully rooted my phone and have even tried out a few custom roms! However I have a question about a ROM im currently using but I cant post in the dev forum yet so I figured ill try here. Im currently using the digital warfare ROM and ive noticed that my powersave feature does not seem to work correctly. It will kick in regardless of the battery percentage I set. So ive just left it off for now. can someone help?

First I want to give you huge props for actually reading and doing all that on your own instead of posting a ton of useless threads with questions that can easily be found! But to answer your question, the My Account app has its own power save feature, try going into that app and adjusting it from there or just disabling it all together. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the family.
This phone is pretty beast, and it will only get better.
Thanks! I can tell! making the transition from hw Kb to all touch is kinda weird but this.phone is so capable and powerful its awesome!
Welcome dude and yea i would just disable this phone is great with battery life anyways. One suggestion tho i would freeze tmobile my account all together in titanium backup or uninstall it tgats if u have it installed it actually messes with wifi. When your on wifi it will turn on 4g signal whenever data is requested which isnt good cuz u think ur using wifi the whole time. Ever since ive disabled tgat app i have not had a problem with wifi or 4g service. I actually think its a way for tmobile to snoop on our data. I made a thread about this and other people have confirmed this app to be the culprit. I actually was gonna take my phone back because i couldnt get wifi to stay connected so thats when i started investigating and found this
Hmm I like to keep track of my data usage but if thats the case away it goes!

It's not unusual for a phone to get warm when running cpu/gpu intensive processes like games. It only becomes a problem when it gets incredibly hot and forces the phone to reboot or the battery gets too hot to touch.

not hot. i just flashed his new rom/kernel combo with a clean wipe and as i was messing around with milocker it did it again. just shut off on me. only way to bring it back is to pull the battery. very strange.
You using a new ROM? I know you said new ROM/kernel combo but that could imply same ROM new,kernel. If youre on the same ROM, check the thread to see if its an issue with it I guess. Could always try a new one and see if that fixes it. Let us know if you find out anything.
